Ok Epi some people who are unaware of the circumstances in life think that we are wolves and I think the best way to prove them wrong is to vote for chelsea who I think is a wolf because I read three of their posts and they seemed wolfy to me and also I think voting for nanook on day 2 is bad but he can be a wolf here for sure

wait lemme make a bar graph

Sure, but even if they did that I don't think that makes them mafia

Yeah... I don't think they're Mafia. That was a knee-jerk reaction after getting up early this morning and seeing that.

Can you please respond to my posts? All three of these have gone unanswered:

I believe I've answered the second question a bit ago, as for the other ones:

1) While Falcon and Tony at that point in time just felt like throwing darts and picking a read, I saw some conviction and sway in your posts, even if there wasn't a lot it was enough that I didn't like the direction you were going with it. You believe you're firmly in your town meta? Why are you so towny that the play you're displaying can't be from a wolf?

3) I see parts of Brad's wolf meta, but with the way Brad is playing if he's a wolf X is happening and quite frankly he's never won when X is happening so I'm perfectly fine to let that go through. I just think he's town though and going out in a blaze of glory. I understand why people would vote that for game sake but yeah.

I think I saw this asked during my 8-ish page catchup... but is "X" something you don't want to share?

The last time Brad told me someone was so obviously town they were the last mafia and I never read the slot because I trusted his read there.

However if Brad looked me in the eye and said "yeah Scotty is just town" I'd leave you alone until I couldn't probably.

Well, you’d be hard pressed to get someone on forum to look you in the eye unless you’re exactly part of the matrix, but:

I wolfed with him a few years ago.

Granted I think I've only played with him when he's been town ever since then.

I feel like that game allowed me to really tell the difference in between his town and wolf games.

"A few years ago" gives me very little confidence in your level of ability to judge him.

Why is Long a wolf to you?

Saw him break Newcomb Tell, don't townread him, throwing out a hard tunnel in an attempt to survive.

Hey, what's Newcomb Tell, and how did I break it?

Am I your hard tunnel to survive, or are you saying I threw out a hard tunnel to survive? I don't think my survival has been particularly threatened in this game until you voted me.

I get that sentiment but I am leaning towards Lime being on a towny mental breakdown rather than a wolfy one.

Yeah, me too at this point.

But maybe I should just go take lunch first.

I see that the two of you have an argument here but I don't feel like my brain has enough power to process it for now. Too much text, too many names. I'll try to have a look into it tomorrow and get back to it on D3.

I do still feel like many of Sean's posts since D2 started have been very deep and towny though, so if that's the point of debate this is my stance on it.

No, I've also come away from the conversation that has me moving Sean up on my reads list but it feels like I have to pull out my teeth just to get an attempt at the answer I'm looking for.

That's normal.

Is it? Please tell me if I'm going crazy because these past few pages make me think I'm going crazy and maybe my statements are hard to read or I'm the problem but I don't feel like I am so please TELL ME IF I'M GOING CRAZY

No.

I asked you two specific questions. 1. WHICH POSTS, and 2. NAME A GAME. Question 1 considers 51 possible posts, so there are exactly 2^{51} possible answers to that question, and thus you can give a complete answer. 2. also has a finite number of possible answers (the number of games you and Brad played together). You haven't asnwered either of those. Those VERY SPECIFIC calls... which ALSO CAME FIRST.

And then you fault me for not answering the question "So if you're so well aware [objective towniness] exists what stops you from applying it to a wolf game?" (which I believe I did, but apparently not to your satisfaction). DO you understand the difference between the questions I'm asking (that you're avoiding) and the one you're asking? MINE AREN'T OPEN ENDED. THEY'RE SPECIFIC. If I did not write a long enough essay for your question, OH SORRY! You thought did not answer a MULTIPLE CHOICE question.

There is NO real answer to your question. It might as well be a discussion prompt. MY QUESTIONS have ONE answer (or if you are BSing, which I think you are, zero answers).

Seanzie just give it up not like you're gonna look at the games anyway.

This post hit me like a truth. Could be because I don't really go past-game digging, but is this performative from Seanzie?

Wait, nm, didn't he claim a "guaranteed" role? I have to look back. I kind of speedread the last 8 after getting homie form work.

Chelsea wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 6:36 pm And it was a mostly unprompted claim unless you think the looming threat of me and Mac pushing Manny made him have a moment of weakness and say "oh god gotta claim now"

It's such a weak play.

It was out of left field, I don't get why a claim would be made at that point. Was it to clear/incriminate another player?

They won't vote out TSP.

I would vote out TSP. He's playing exactly like he did last game, where he was town. TOO exactly. I thought it was a schtick, and called him on it last game... but it was just how he was playing. This might be an attempt to emulate that, so as to be able to say "see? that's town Tony, look at his last game!"

That could be a little tinfoily, but I don't really get the whole minimalist one-liner stylistic choice anyway.

Look I know I went after you, it's a hero play because I was being wagoned. Jack and Lan said you were town for specific reasons, I'll listen.

But I ask you to vote Nanook here.

Voting Nanook is so incredibly easy to do, and I have no big reason not to, but would you mind a sentence or two reminding me why it's the right thing, and not just the shrug thing?

Yeah, but is it a billboard with information that is conducive to a Town win?

Those are the only billboards we want to see. And they should be spaced out so you see, like, 6 or 7 every ten minutes.

Basically thought I was gonna be up to vote forever...of course there's time. And I didn't townread you so decided "Fuck it try to hero push someone" and you were it.

Which three posts?

Your posting style makes it very easy to want to vote you.

Over the last 8 pages, Manny is the one who was the most suspicious to me. I need to get away from the screen for a bit, but I'll be back plenty of minutes prior to EoD. I can try to pull up some posts where Manny pinged me.

[VOTE: Manny] aubergine but it might not be my final vote today.

I’m back and I’ll vote Nanook to save Chelsea if ya’ll keep being dumb. Only obvious townies have voted Manny this game js.

Manny’s claim ain’t great considering we know wolves have a tracker and why would the town watcher like out a role targeting Seanzie?

Tinfoil hat says my Manny/Falcon w/w read is just right but I don’t actually have that much faith in that read.

That's a dumb read, by doing that he'd throw his partner under the bus harder than [insert something funny here]. Either his prolonged survival alerts town or he dies to a 3P, but once the jig was up the wolves would be reduced to one.

1) I said it was tinfoil

2) No it doesn’t cause a wolf flip from Manny doesn’t out wFalcon anyhow. It’s just something they could fake together and we wouldn’t know it unless other mech said so.
