I agree. Most of the pockets that I have gotten into have been (scum) pockets. I would much prefer a nice, warm, friendly town pocket!

Made was never the best at meeting new people. But made sure to try to be friendly when the moment allows

Made timidly, yet excitedly wrote: hi! I don’t think we’ve played before, I’m made. I also enjoy friendly pockets. Has anyone pocketed you yet this game?

I basically have one suspect but they're someone who I don't know / haven't played with and theoretically speaking it could just be play-style differences.

So I'm not really voicing any suspicions. Other than that all I got are people who I think are town and people who I don't really have much of a read on.

Town

Nanook

Null

Put most simply, Sonny's the Percy player that I think looks most genuinely interested in sorting the game.

Tangy Jay guillo all town

Nutella now meh

Sonny town

Idk probably someone else but idr

This both feels good and scary. Being widely townread that is.

Feels good because this is the first game Im actually read as obvious town on day 1.

Cause I've worked my ass off through months of playing several games at the same time, to practice and master of getting townread by town.

Scary, because this is the first game I'm actually read as obvious town on day 1.

Because, I've never been in this position, I'm scared I'm being pocketed, I'm scared I'm gonna lose WIM (cause I've always been the LHF or the player that scum want to leave for end game as the easy mischop, so I've always had to fight my way through to get townread) and I'm afraid I'm so obvious town that scum is gonna kill me first! I need to deathtunnel another obvious town to get placed in the null list or something.

I don't wanna be obvious town, just town lean or null for now.

Now, who wants to help me?

Boy that Guillotine, I tell you what. He’s a suspicious character.

We have less time remaining in this phase than it may seem. The deadline is early tomorrow (3:30 PM EDT). We’re going to need to mindful of the poll. It’s fine now, but it can’t look like this an hour out.

Everyone: top three town and top three mafia GO

I appreciate the intention but.. you can't help me... I'm already deathtunneling you.

It has to be someone unexpected, something swingy that makes everyone say.. "woah woah woah woah, Guillotine... Hold on!"

Guillotine wrote: ↑Sat May 22, 2021 8:19 pm I'm scared I'm being pocketed

My last town game has taught me try to not positively evaluate people's conclusions.

It pocketed me enough to get sent down the wrong path when I asked a scum (who I had almost correctly caught) about who they suspected and it was someone else who I felt also uneasy about. And then (some may say death-) tunneled into end game.

So as of late I've been focusing more on reasonings or the inner workings of people rather their conclusions or their happen-stances of similar beliefs with me. I may as well warn you about the same, though I don't know if you're prone to it.

I'm not mentioning my mafia. I don't really have any "tops" and it likely wouldn't be equivalent in value to other's top 3 mafia. Besides, I do have 1 person who I suspect and I'm waiting for more to see before I say anything.

Bah! I'm going back to my obvious town jail then.

[VOTE: Belzy] aubergine

I wish I could contribute more right now, but I’ve a terrible headache.

If folks could answer my little prompt just now (or a portion of it), it might help me to put some analysis behind the vibing running the thread. Either way I’ll be back later.

Funny thing, when I woke up one of my first thoughts was I bet LoMo would be leading the votes and lol, here it is, should be fun to catch up. 2 is meh, but it tickles me that I saw that one coming.

Felt like she was here for 2 minutes, posted next to nothing of value, didn't read everything, than left. I was, err, underwhelmed. I expect left-of-centre from her, not meh.

Nope, was just a premonition. It says nothing about his alignment, just that he has this weird power that involves being able to attract votes without people even really saying he's scum, happens with those who know him as well. Strange super power.

Oh, I see you're one of the votes. Fun.

Hi I haven't read since page 10. Should prolly do that. What's the sitch?

You don't have to catch up on everything if you don't want to. Read backwards or check out a player's ISO if you'd prefer.

What do you mean by attempt (or just in general) here?

Is there something on your mind that you're not sure about? If that's so, the could you share it?

I'm kinda out of things that catch my eye at the moment, and I don't really feel inspired, so I'm wondering if you have something that I haven't really thought about or noticed.

By attempt I mostly mean try my best, I'm not really sure about anything ever but I can't think of something off the top of my head specifically that's standing out to me at the moment. I've been out all day and I'm definitely gonna do a closer read of the thread when I get home, so basically nothing new from my last post but hopefully this explained things a little bit more?

I note a couple potential biases in my reads: pro-Syndicate and pro-activity. That doesn't necessarily make them bad, but it's something I am conscious of. The two right swipes I hesitated on most were Belzy and Mac.

Gnome looked fine to me in the small bit I read

You do you, it's valid and whatever you need it to be.

Small bit as in the couple of their posts I've read

I've actually read like halfish of the game or so

Lmao this is just a syndicate game with Sonny providing running commentary.
