So you think leetic/epig is probably v/v?
Possible, I don't think probable based on my feelings about some of leetic's posts at EOD.

But that's why I asked for others to assess whether nicole was likely to drop a vote on a packmate that's gotten a lot of attention before leaving for the day, for distancing purposes. It seemed like a reasonable move to me given they'd both been on the board, but I don't know her bussing meta.

(It's possible this question was answered and I missed it)

AKA

My weigh-in about leetic is that the context of the wagons feel off if she’s partnered. Distancing is one thing, but leetic was the wet fart/shrug counter wagon that people kept going back to. He had a distinct possibility of going over.

When Nicole voted there and left, Nicole wasn’t even in contention of being the vote out. So if I go to bed and vote for my partner who has been a worthy candidate of being yeeted, that’s less distancing and more bussing. Tack on that she didn’t even actually VOTE for him after all, and it’s such a weird dynamic for distancing OR bussing.

Plus his prickliness is vastly different than the game he showed where he was wolf last year, but that’s more minor.

Arigato, but (and far be it for me to judge)

I can’t get a feel for your direction this game. You give the air of wanting to sheep your town reads’ suspicions, then make votes like these. Is it to put pressure on Mac? Why even ask who ‘we’ are voting?

I currently have the attention span of a toddler with a phone

I saw trekkie coming in and looking reasonable + 'voting pyxxy sounds lame' which I guess I can agree with so I went mac instead

I think trekkie's post that I'm townreading him for a bit above makes him very, way too likely, to be town in this game

I don't like voting jess here or ever but maybe I'm wrong and she pocketed me but boy do I like how cozy this pocket feels

I can't read porscha this game

so there's a reason I asked three people and not one

but also toddler attention span

Well, but I am interested in your POE, because you're in mine

You're correct of course that the pool can be wide, but it feels like you're just cherry picking to talk about a relatively narrow set of players and ignoring others. And specifically, Epig was the wagon that the flipped wolf did NOT vote for, so I'm just surprised that so many players have absolutely no read there.
I am cherry picking based on what I have actually read and what I feel is the best use of my limited time (interaction reads).

I sure am ignoring players that I don't have strong feelings about in this moment, that is not unusual for me.

It's just weird to me that there's no overlap at all in the POE. But maybe I'm being extra critical of you in a way I wouldn't be of other players that I don't know as well.

To your other post, there's just something tonally off that I don't like about Epig. Which is weird to articulate because I don't exactly have a long history of playing with Epig, but I just am. Since nobody else seems that bothered, maybe it's just me

I think this is fair. To me, I'm a little more sus of Epig than leetic just because Nicole did bother to drop a vote on leetic (theoretically) and avoided Epig, and I'm not sure it makes sense for her to bus when she's in no apparent danger at that point. And I feel like leetic's contributions have on the whole been more towny. But they're not clear (and it could just be both, which would of course be amazing work)
Leetic just barely avoided being the yeet and should have more information than others knowing his own alignment but he's lacking in impulse to solve instead.
It's like the motivating factor just passed by him. It's scummy.
Didn't even find him particularly scummy before this day. And he's been around, clearly.
In my opinion, anyway.
Do you have an opinion on Epig? or if you've talked about him could you point me in that direction?

Again, I agree with the fundamental premise that leetic isn't clear, I'm just saying based on what I've seen Epig looks like a higher priority
I don't think you've been fair to me given my previously stated mechanical obligations over the past two days, and for that, I should exact my wrath by sending a bird to drop an egg-shaped bomb on your arm, as your head is probably a useless target!

However, I am in a merciful mood. Almost in the mood for saki.

Alas, I have none. Whatever this is will have to do.

I am now willing to hear and address whatever grievances you have against me.

A lot about epig looks like refuge in audacity so he's kinda attracting a lot of controversy to himself which...Might or might not be mafia.
Don't really see why he'd straight up use that as an opener though so that leans more towards it being town.
He really wants to look like he doesn't give a fuck I guess. Might be a not town aligned force but not necessarily mafia either.
Sorry this cross-posted as I was typing.

I could see this opinion. Personally, I am still a pretty loud wolf so "attracting attention" doesn't automatically mean town to me.

It's just not even the audacity, but ever since the nicole flip there's been a total lack of engagement. I guess there was a cover in that they would be in the lab this weekend, but still, there's just nothing there helping me find him.
I work all day Saturday and Sunday. So no, you will not hear from me much on Saturday and Sunday.

Nice work, stolen street sign!

It just frustrates me because it's so alien to my mindset. I'm too much of a tryhard to get a role that could kill someone and not spend time digging in thinking on how to target it. The one time I've rolled vigilante was a game that I signed up for on my casual account just to help the game fill, intending to just play lightly and crack jokes about how I was the traitor. Then I got slapped with Responsibility and had to dig in and strategize. Oh and I guess there was the time I got what was basically an arsonist role and I dug in on researching my target so much that I found crumbs that led to outting a mod error that forced a game reset...

Michelle wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2026 12:31 am Your wagon was the second big one. If you are town how cone mafia didn't pile on you to save Nicole?

なぜ？
Naze? Why?
Why did you just stay parked on me? Because you weren't around to do anything. Just like a lot of others. The wagon went from 0-7 during what's night-time for most of us, even moderately attentive players may well not have been around, and lots of players were not meeting 'moderately attentive' standards. Even Nicole presumably didn't know Nicole was getting wagoned.

Also any/all of the other three people who were voting me could indeed be mafia trying to pile onto me to do that, it's too soon to decide that didn't happen.
So the sensors just exploded. Thank you for that.

What is the point of any of this?

Is it to help you figure out Michelle?

While I'll be honest that Ididn't read any of the pointless DM/Michelle back and forth, it seems like a very odd angle for w!DM to take in publicly going after the mechanically confirmed green player... to advise them on how to better use their PR.

I am not village reading either LC or jess. They're kind of in my blind spot in the player list like Epig might be in yours. They're both in a relatively small group that isn't in my immediate POE, and I also have no reason to village read them.

And you're gonna love this, I voted mac because I wanted to make a tie :P But also as I caught up I just wasn't jiving with what they were putting down, and if Epig doesn't seem to be getting traction then I think keeping both pyxxy and Mac in discussion makes sense.

I am not village reading either LC or jess. They're kind of in my blind spot in the player list like Epig might be in yours. They're both in a relatively small group that isn't in my immediate POE, and I also have no reason to village read them.

And you're gonna love this, I voted mac because I wanted to make a tie :P But also as I caught up I just wasn't jiving with what they were putting down, and if Epig doesn't seem to be getting traction then I think keeping both pyxxy and Mac in discussion makes sense.

My full POE, for transparency, is Epig/Rondo/pyxxy/Mac/Trek/dubz.

Jess, LC, porscha, and tranq, are all in that "middle" area that is not quite in my POE, but also hasn't earned a town lean

Everyone else I am not-mafia-reading with various levels of confidence

Thoughts on nicole mentions up until the wagon started gaining steam or thereabouts. there's some additional stuff I didn't quote from Spurs, vivax, and Wilgy that looks good, didn't feel like it needed to be rehashed.

gims:

Spoiler: show

I've mentioned it multiple times but don't think I actually quoted it, this is the early interaction I have a hard time seeing as theater

Trekkie:

Spoiler: show

Noting that trekkie was one of the few nicole defenders. It was quite direct...certainly something I would do for a packmate, not sure trekkie in particular would be so inclined. Maybe @Duelist Mirage can weigh in since they seem familiar?

Spoiler: show

DM was also defending nicole, I think my macro read is still town based on other stuff though.

jess:

Spoiler: show

This actually stands out to me as the more typical way that a wolf might defend a packmate - indirectly by shading those voicing suspicion of said packmate, and then by asking for an explanation of the reads. coupled with the later pop in while the nicole wagon was gaining steam, i don't like this look for jess.

Call the street black if you wish)

you misunderstand, I don't townread roleplay in itself, in fact mafia is definitely trying to get the prizes. what I meant was that even though he's "committing to the bit" he's making a real effort to engage with game content/react to posts in a meaningful way even if it is difficult to discern what he means sometimes. the more he's posted today the more I think it's likely he's having genuine thoughts he's trying to get across which is a towny point. but yeah idk shrug

i like this take and have decided i'm amenable to the mac vote

let's see what happens

[VOTE: mac] aubergine

omae wa mou shindeiru!

Posted: **Mon Sep 28, 2026 11:11 am**

(I'm fine with the Mac vote I just like to keep things interesting)

I guess I'll look at pyxxy since there's a lot of interest and a few of my town reads sitting there

I thought jess was fine earlier in the day and was leaning her town, but agree some of the content near the end of the day specifically did not look great, and following the Nicole flip some of the prior content doesn't look as good.

Which is not to say I find dubz especially towny, just that nobody else has really even bothered to help me find them, and that's unfortunate
I'm really sorry.jpg

Flying Squirrel was a good man huh.jpg

I like this post though :P

An excellent question.

I think there is some value in spending today to clear a slot that will be difficult to sort later. But as nutella pointed out, some of the gifs have been good at interacting with the game, and yes I'm specifically thinking of the one you quoted above

Cuz they're both Australian

Posted: **Mon Sep 28, 2026 11:37 am**

Yeah I can understand wanting to clear the slot, I just find it kind of a boring way to spend the day. Where's the fun in voting someone who can (or at least, will) only respond in images if they respond at all, ya know? Where's the excitement??

I thought Jess was cool for giving me a townlean rep day 1 when she didnt have to

I didnt love her asking me if im a wolf today tho

Yeah I agree that I had jess as a possible nicole teammate early on because of some posts. I think I liked some of her contributions today but I'm wary and won't let her out of my sight

Though as I mentioned,
Wolves might try more on roleplay
Haven't seen hers much.

Speaking of which I've barely tried but I already missed two posts having Japanese words so lol and regardless I don't think I would ever get the prize anyway. Uhh, the flowers are subarashii?
