Anyway I'm just tunnelling this until I have flips and stuff.

Why these 3? Just because they haven't spoken?

Also my early reads are that Mac, Amy and tutuu are town. I agree with Amy's towncase on Mac and her description of his meta fits with what I saw in Space Invaders. I have a 100% success rate at finding tutuu as town really early so far, so just trust me on that one.

Your reads are really similar to mine. That's a good look.

lemme try this ATE on day 0.

[mention]tutuu[/mention] dont MC me three times in a row...

also im just mindmelding with him, i have the same reads (all of them except unsure on joseph yet) and i also thought proto had a scummy opener

like "as a reminder, day 0 is meme day and we skip night and go direct to day 1 after this, right?" - proto should know this already, he's not an airhead like me, this looked to me like scum filler

but i wanna respect my choice to abstain from scumreads just like shao lin monks abstain from stuff in order to reach enlightenment

scum filler is a good term for it. it also seemed on the edge of tonal impurity to me.

hmm being scumread by multiple people day 0.

This kind of makes the game easier for me to solve although it does increase my chances of dying.

I'm not necessarily scumreading you. I just didn't like your entrance.

Why did you ask about day 0?

townreads (ordered):

tutuu

urist - highest confidence since i believe my brain is convinced i have a meta townread on him. a bit hard to articulate. the slacker in me wants to say "i wont explain unless someone asks me" to save effort but if i wanna improve in mafia maybe i should kick the habit of being lazy and pre-emptively put in the effort even if i dislike it. also maybe this is a lesson i should apply in irl too (dont run away from effort and dont procrastinate). anyway. i think its very towny how he talked about a script to track votes (as in effort-wise. putting in effort in something non-tangible. same reason i townread carotte for making her gif meme). actually not sure if i can articulate the meta part of my read itself. maybe i should try to make stuff out of nothing and just focus on the Real Numbers and not on the Imaginary Numbers. maybe saying "i think this person is town due to meta" is good enough and ppl who complain about meta are a bunch of crybabys and i shouldnt be peer pressured into not using meta to win mafia games cuz of their complaints. also im biased to further tr urist because 112 (another townread of mine) is also townreading them.

carotte - reasons posted at post 65

amy - reasons posted at post 98. in case im not fooling myself with my own bias, she is towny for bringing up the meta scumread on joseph regardless of its accuracy (but there is a high high chance im biasing myself here even if im correct that shes town)

112 - (recency bias makes me wanna put him at the top, but if i try to outsmart my own bias, i think my cosmic self would prefer him right here). reasons listed at post 150. also him ignoring my benson post could just be accidental but if its not its probably >rand towny in a vacuum (villager whos focused on solving) as oppposed to scum taking the chance to post filler but this is built on a lot of assumptions so its not a very "clean" argument but it is there

alison - no tangible reason. nothing to explain. i will keep effort to not confbias myself into tunneling my gut townreads. but my nose is telling me shes town and my brain cant keep up with the nose.

rest

proto - not a scumread i swear. scumreads bad.

proto whats MC? misyeet?

ive only misyeeted u once! you misyeeted urself in lion king! and i did trust alison that ur town there!

Oh yeah, I was thinking miscondemn, every mafia community had a new world for ML now and I cant keep track.

^regarding Benson (forgot to respond to that because I was catching up on the thread), it was AtE because I wasn't sure I'd be able to duplicate the same level of activity I had the day before in the wildcard game. I wanted an excuse to slank a bit.

god bless u thats hilarious and i respect it

if alison says ur town this game i will listen to her proto dont worry

i will probably abstain from making a read on nanook since i think ive been wrong on him at every single game we've played and if i try to outsmart myself and make a read and then manually reverse it, i just know that the end effect is that my original read would have been right and i'd end up wrong. you can't outsmart the cosmos

nutella might also be hard for me since ive yet to seen her scum game, and ive yet to see joseph's town game

tutuu is too-too nice. Lock scum, bake 'em away toys

tysm for calling me nice colin. its a really sweet thing to say. ur a very nice person as well. like legit, in philosopher's mafia you were so gracious about EVERYTHING. i wish i had your grace and emotional strength. ur awesome

let go of your defenses and allow your heart to get stabbed, hurt and trampled upon, so that you also allow it to get loved and caressed!

anyways, hardclaim cop. Day 0 - 112 is a wolf.

I think carotte is reasonably a decent wolf buddy.

Someone's going to accuse me of playing too light to try to replicate myself and they're wrong

112 wolf

Alison's posts are boring and nai as usual :P

112 is just so in wolf meta here holy moly

Yo broseph align with me on this

what is 112's wolf meta?

not wolf

tony = paranoid cop, nutella = out to lunch

go hunt someone who's actually scum

i will reevaluate this if it matters

luckily this game contains no mechanics. thank you jay

tutuu wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 10:36 pm Omg ily so much amy u have no idea maybe its very silly to get so attached in mafia i know its objectively silly but u genuinely made me feel so good irl by townreading me i literally wanna do anything for u its like im 20% on the verge of crying from happiness not lying omg. ily so much. i hope everything goes well for u irl and u achieve all of ur dreams

we need more tutuu in games, hold her close don't let go

well that was a weak ketchup

shame hally's not itg. can't get the powerpuff girls back online feelsbad

at the very least i'll sheep tutuu on urist and I GUESS on alison, though i'm more wary there

startin' to smell like we got a towncore cookin'

tutuu and amy are the only obvious townies so far


urist, mac, ted, nanook are town leans i guess

Since when does NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME asks for potato pass? :o

The proposal part is obviously that other people fulfill the Early Game Doers Of Things role

I don’t play that way regardless kek

Why do you feel the need to ask if it's the way you always play anyway?
[...]

I wasn’t asking if I can play the way I play

I was asking for other people to Do Things so I can sit in judgment

So you were kinda asking! Your vibe here feels different from the games we played where you were town. I'm watching you!

IMO if you're town you should not be intentionally ignoring relevant information because you have low confidence in your ability to translate that information into useful reads

ColinIsCool have you played with tutuu before? How can you scumread her, she's like flowing town pureness for anyone that played with her before. Same goes for TenThousandCalories.

Why don't you want them to hunt you?

If you're town you should be happy to attract scrutiny from other players so you can engage with them and show them that you're town. Telling them to go look elsewhere is productive in no universe. This is the issue I had with your entrance as well, the engagement was shallow to nonexistent and you felt like you were just swinging by to drop your takes rather than trying to like talk to people and find out what they are.
