Why does everything have to be spicy? I ordered ice cream. I don’t want jalapeños in my ice cream

And further, let’s just kill Jack because he made Lime angry? Why is that post more damning than the other ones that have plastered Lime?

Ok so to be clear you are just doing this on a feeling and not a particular read?

lol I do have a good relative pitch IRL as a singer. I can’t call myself having perfect pitch, because I don’t know
which notes I’m singing at any particular time, but I once had a show where I had to start with a specific note after sitting in silence on stage for 40 minutes in pre show and nailed it every time

So I’ll take having good tone thanks

Wolves don't have dreams where they are in a town perspective, ergo you are Town.

I feel ya! I've had a 75% wolf rate since last summer so I'm just glad I got to town again, maybe the curse is over!

Maybe it's not.

Last game I towned I got misyeeted d3 despite solving the game, got ignored and lost. So sure, yeet me before I start caring about the game, getting misyeeted when invested stings ^^

Pretend I'm a wolf and case me, awoo!

Except jury is still out on whether I'm pretending or not.

Fwiw I'm starting to think you're town for real

Wisdom wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2025 6:55 am If I go with my gut on page 1, Syn's the only wolf that's been online.

Mostly because I recently finished a game with him where he was obvtowning right from the get go, mainly because he seemed to have a fun time

I don't really have a good track record in reading him though, but at least he's not as towny now as he was then.

So I read, not much to see, RVS and some yukking up. Day 1 in a small game, imo wolves unlikely to lead, better to sit back and watch the town wave pitchforks and torches at each other. But this stuck out to me.

This feels kinda manipulative to me. I mean, we all know civvies can be manipulative too, but, this feels intentionally manipulative to me. Also somewhat defensive for what looks to be a quasi joke vote to me. I don't like voting early, so i won't. But I walk away from this interaction with + town for DDL, and - Town for Wisdom

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 7:16 pm One thing that called my attention is that Wisdom seriously had a towncore. Namely me, SVS and Thunal. She also defended Scotty quite a lot.

I could see one wolf there, because statistics. Two, there is no way. The fact everyone in that core is someone I'm townreading due to the previous analysis rn contradicts that, though. Maybe it's really Thunal.

Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2025 2:25 pm Change of pace:

Just looked into Uncle Rico as a character because I don’t remember the movie. Based on the breakdown, he really seems like more of an antagonist to Napoleon than not, and my feeling is that he’s only made into a 3p because he is Napoleon’s family. But the dude is actively despised by Napoleon. I doubt he’s a town-sided entity based on theme, and I wouldn’t assume he would ever be on town’s ’side’

Because he and Napoleon actively feud, and both of them have *secrets* I feel as though they’re linked. It would t surprise me if Rico gains something or becomes more powerful if Napoleon dies.

From the film breakdown, we know Rico is a deadbeat trying to raise cash by roping Kip in to sell breast implants. Epi’s wording here is interesting: “Now you need to raise some sweet moola. You just need something like a nametag that’ll make you look all official and what not.”

Well, he needs something, and in the movie, Deb takes the picture for the name tag. It could stand to reason that he needs something from Deb, but that seems too convoluted to also tie into Napoleon.

Makes more sense for him to need to sell X number of breast enhancements to win. It’s probably like steal a vote or something. Could be unknown to the recipient.

Eh, dunno what I gained from this, but from a design perspective, my thought would be something like:
“Every time a player votes for you, you may steal one of their votes the next day. If you successfully use those votes to get someone eliminated, you sell 1 (or 2) breast implants. You win and are removed if you sell 1 (or 2). As long as Napoleon is alive, it takes 2 (or 3) sold breast implants to win.”
I dunno; something like that.


Tl;dr Rico is probably mafia sided until Napoleon dies. Probably. And even then, I doubt it’s anything good for town

Actually, it usually has been in my experience. I just played a game where Lucchese self voted and gave up as mafia d1, and the game before that Pizza gave up and lolcatted after he was top wagon but it wasn’t set in stone and he flipped mafia.

I wasn’t sure Falcon was mafia and my thinking it was weird people didn’t think that post was outing was actually wondering if he was town and mafia had TMI so they didn’t treat it as outing. I thought it was a good guess Falcon was mafia and it upped his odds of being mafia quite a bit in my head, but it wasn’t a sure thing.

I’d like to give you benefit of the doubt, because falcon was only lead wagon by 1 vote at that time if I recall. So that’s hardly a grounds to give up.

But the seeds were planted, and I have this strange feeling you and wisdom could be a duo but I can’t put into words why atm

That's pretty interesting. He does seem like someone who gives things to other people to raise that moola. Or maybe he even offers deals to other people.

At least he's not a serial killer because if he were he'd be a pretty ineffective one.

I'm seeing a document icon before your thinky emoji when I just look at your post. When I quote it, I just see the thinky emoji.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2025 2:50 pm The emoji thing was distracting enough I didn't really address your question.

I don't really have an answer to it. Wisdom was a wolf. An accurate "towncore" could be
1) Wisdom didn't think they were getting that much heat (remember, she was daykilled, not yeeted)
2) An attempt to appear townie by giving accurate reads
3) Antispew

I don't necessarily believe any of that. I don't even think the formation of the towncore, accurate or not, was likely in response to any pressure Wisdom felt. It would have just been a thing that happened over time because that's how towncores work.

TLDR Jessie what are you talking about?

What's this about not talking about towncores? I thought you asked about Wisdom forming a towncore (that I supposed was accurate) and why.
