I can imagine developing a tinfoil that nanook did this to go deep if he is still alive a few days down the line but like.... idk how you can prioritize him over, like, radish at this point

What is it about the way nanook approached the KZA exe specifically that makes you think it was a bus? Like even if your theory that KZA is letting the town exe him holds true, why can't nanook be town who jumped on an open wolf rather than a busser?

Because he played the whole day like he had a get out of jail free card in his back pocket.

He did have a get out of jail free card in his back pocket, yeah? He said he has a provable claim.

This being some sort of lighter variation role madness maybe he does...and maybe that was the get out of jail free card he was leaning on...but how do you know it wasn't just knowing he had a busload of town cred coming?

nobody was seriously pursuing a kza yeet at that point, everyone was just kinda "yeah, whatever, if other ppl vote there i'd be fine with it" but nothing ever took off until nanook pushed it

seconding this perception tbh

Agree.

Benson, how confident are you on your read of Hally being scum (if such a read even exists)?

IMO if he has a provable role he has a provable role. If in, like, two days he still hasn't proved his role then you can whack him then. Do you think mafia usually claims provable power role D1? I don't, and I think it's obvious if they fakeclaim like that.

hardclaiming unclaimable and unprovable role

Just about everyone else in the game had a "hands off" listing from SOMEONE. Kza was the wagon waiting to happen. If I'd have had posts I'd have pointed it out as just an obvious fact of life without even bothering to guess whether or not he was a wolf.

you haven’t actually tried to engage with me at all or re-evaluate at all so idk what you’re expecting from me back

I have and the only thing you're giving me in return is scummy behavior, sorry. I'm not changing my read on you, not because I'm confbiased, but because I think you're scum. You've done the exact same thing to other people who've scumread you, like accusing Benson of calling all of your posts fake and then telling them their play is poor. Stop making this about how Alison is confbiased. You subbed into a scummy slot and have exhibited scummy behavior. I am going to execute you.

okay, do you what you want but please don’t shift the blame to me when i flip town

The one claiming that getting a scum read on an obvious volunteer buss bait makes him GOAT is my first choice.

I’ve found two mafia and it’s still not enough for you, very sad

KZA had little to no traction until I put my fat vote down, he definitely wasn’t “obvious bus bait” or whatever kek


This had better be a cover thing lulz

Kaz was always a very real possibility today. People got on the wagon because he popped in with a coy response and then did literally nothing else.

I mean uh

He wasn’t gonna die until I started pushing him so

We can talk it out tomorrow tho

Are you REALLY this unaware of the state of the thread when you play?

Depends on the game

I think I'm just voting radishes tomorrow and afking tbh

I don't know why you're so hung up on the "blame" thing since I don't believe in blame in mafia anyway (it soothes your ego, but it doesn't help you win games). I'll tell you what, if you flip town, I'll write a nice poem about how Hally is super shining obvtown and my reads are bad, and put it in my signature for hte next three games.

Agree.

Benson, how confident are you on your read of Hally being scum (if such a read even exists)?

Not very, in all honesty.

I'm currently trying to parse how this flip changes my reads, but it really doesn't seem to have much of an impact. At least not right now. Bussing was so inevitable, so I have look at things through the lens of: "the wolves knew Kaz was probably getting elimed and were likely planning in some way for it".

Hally is still a potential partner. So is Radish. I guess Amy can be as well, although I do feel a little better about her now based on recent posts.
I see the Nanook accusations as plausible, but that's not something at the forefront of my mind. Like I really want to figure out MR vs Hally tonight because I think I'll be in that tunnel until I die or until it's solved.

GTH it's Radish but I have to support that.

I should probably re-read the thread tonight.

What world are you people living in where KZA was inevitable BEFORE I came in and said they were mafia

Like fuck I may not be keeping up the best this game but I don’t think my read of the thread is that bad lmao

lmao what is this thread rn

we’re not yeeting nanook. nanook was not bussing

radishes had an incredibly scummy reaction to the kza push. he’s dying tomorrow

I should clarify that I'm not actually SRing Nanook right now. He's still null-to-light-town in my mind because the Kaz stuff doesn't change my read very much. I think that's too tin-foily to pursue as a main focus today/tonight.

It is interesting that MR was already posturing to do that, however.

Why'd you stay on the Hally wagon for so long if you didn't really believe in the read? And why'd you go around calling Hally's posts fake?

Do you genuinely think Radishes is such a bad wolf that he reaction fails when a partner that is basically first string LHF and has mostly outed all day gets wagoned.

tbf I think he did say something earlier about staying on the wagon to potentially entice wolves onto it (as in if enough people were on a counterwagon that it was viable to save kza)

I mean, wolf!radish was clearly setting up a connection between kza and nanook bc he knew kza would flip red and wanted to make a false associative

It depends. If your post was the only thing to get him into the thread, then yes, you are solely responsible; because myself and others may have stayed apprehensive to eliminating someone who isn't posting at all. But would Kaz have still posted if you didn't ping him or whatever? I sure hope so. And I imagine the reaction to him re-entering the thread like that was always an auto elim.

Okay.

What makes it different from timsup's reaction in your eyes?

kza only had 2 votes before nanook voted: benson and me

it's possible that this was a planned bus... but in no way was kza anywhere near outed or a consensus dunk before nanook broke the vote open

given that i'm inclined to agree that radishes's reaction was bad and tim's perspective here is off (not necessarily in a wolfy way, just. not correct.)

and i'm not voting nanook tomorrow without good reason to do so beyond "what if he bussed kza"

2/30

What kind of revisionist history bullshit is “mostly outed all day” lmao

I can't speak for others but my decision to sheep nanook was prior to and completely independent of kza appearing in the thread afterward

I had no suspicion on KZA at all before the beetlejuice. I tend to believe that slanking is NAI.

tim already had a scum read on nanook so his view of nanook bussing could follow from that read more logically

this post makes me think if radishes is a wolf Tim isn't lol

and is kinda towny on its own, the attitude of it

The only thing giving me pause with radishes is like

That reaction was SO bad it almost feels like a trap

But even if he’s something shitty like a vengeful or whatever it’s still early enough to bite the bullet imo, so

He’s probably just scum

radishes also doubles down on his push of me and switched back to voting me after i called bs on his reaction to nanook/kza

i don’t wanna say the push and vote are necessarily wolfy because he’s been pushing my slot all game but i did feel like i saw a noticeable change in how he was treating me once he realized it would be between me and kza

This is okay, because I think that you buying in on Nanook's absurdist interpretation of events isn't looking really good on you either, but in the long run this will all work itself out.

basically Amy Hally Nanook rabbit and nutella are now all in a similar headspace and I don't think it's exactly a wolfy headspace

I still think the slot is scummy. But like, I wouldn't feel confident in calling them definitively a wolf.
Some things just seemed potentially fake to me. I'm probably in too deep on that tunnel and seeing things as fake is easy when you're in that mode.

I was on the Hally wagon to make it potentially more viable for the wolves. I think if you look at my posts you could see I was content with the Kaz lynch. And that was just almost always going to happen anyways but I always think it's could to have some bait for the wolves just in case. Or even to see how people respond to the artificial closeness of the wagons.

Suspicion isn't really the issue. Slanking might be NAI, but it makes a REALLY comfortable chop. You had your commitment to the Hally push to discharge and I applaud you for sticking to it...but I think a lot of people following you were likely to get uncomfortable as Hally kept defending. And they were going to look for an exit and find Kza. with or without "not just a read, but a Nanook lock." Everybody that was uncomfortable where they were, or had someone saying "but what if you are wrong?" at them was gonna wind up there. It boggles my mind that so many people apparently were not aware of that.
