Do you mean her finding Sloonei as wolfy or something else? I went back to her post about how she forms reads and what she does as town and didn't see anything that was inconsistent in her posts. What am I missing?

I think so. The repetition of "I have a town impression of" with them lined up one after the other feels weird lol

Tell me a little bit about Sloonei

Does he have trouble keeping a town mindset as scum?

I agree that not wanting solid reads is not really a pro-town thing to say

But I feel like experienced scum would try to avoid saying things like that, because they would look bad. And he strikes me as an experienced player

Sloonei is an excellent civilian. He's a thread leader and a facilitator in the sense that he welcomes and explores hot takes. He also bounces around with his votes to see what comes of it.

He struggles to maintain a civilian facade as mafia. That isn't to say he can't do it. He can.

And not that I buy into post count meaning much, but Sloonei with 25 posts at this point is pretty...shall I say it?

Uninspiring.

I think he's caught and he's clammed up.

112 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 02, 2020 9:51 am Juliets seems towny by my meta of her. She doesn't use contractions and writes pretty bluntly sometimes, so she always looks kinda sketch, but I'd lean town on her right now owing to the complicatedness of her Sloonei read- I think she's being genuine when she says she doesn't know how to read him well and is concerned with being fooled again. She says she's reading him more as town now, but it's an early back-and-forth type read and those tend to come from townies more often than wolves; wolves are more inclined to stick with an early read throughout a greater duration of the round and don't flip-flop so soon. I think she's showing true uncertainty.

Regarding Sloonei, I can see him as a wolf personally. His questions don't seem to go anywhere and he's forcing the humour a bit.

You have a door in your avatar, sort of, so I assume you know what you are talking about.

I mean I’ll take it, but what?

Using the theme to crack a joke and make an entrance, meme-ing using Trump quotes feels unoriginal. It's actually something I'd be pinged about usually, like it's more prevalent for scum to break the ice that way. It's a nice way to sling some shits, and get stuff going.

Not this time though

I feel like trying to form a read on an entrance like that is more scum-breaking-icey than the entrance itself.

How so?

Mostly that it's often a wolf's first attempt at engaging in game-relevant talk. When I'm wolfing I feel pressure to say something meaty right away, and pretending to read into a fluff post is an easy way to get a foot in.

So those tildes under Powers. Back in the old, old, old days that represented text that we were supposed to try and fill in to discover what was being said (in this case what powers are in the game). Anyone else remember the tilde exercises? I think I'll ask G-Man what the deal is and ask him to respond in the thread.

This post feels a bit wordier than it needs to be. Stressing that she’s going to ask G-man feels like she’s going out of her way to demonstrate her forward-thinkingness. But that’s more of a mild ping for juliets than it would be for others.

What is your general approach to the game? What will you be looking for on Day 1 and later on?

Nothing real specific. I rely pretty heavily on meta reading on my other site lol, but that won't work here.

Prolly just gonna prod around where I think something should be prodded at.

I think the ideal way of approaching the game is building a town core of people you can trust and solving scum through POE

My approach to later days isn't much different except obviously you have flips and interactions you can work with

I was just trying to explain it clearly because I knew most people wouldn't be familiar with it. I'm not sure what you are saying about forward thinkingness but that's ok. You can explain later if you still have issues with it.

Like "I'm going to ask the host so that he can explain it to us, Fellow Townies."

There's not much you could say about this anyway. I'm more interested in hearing whether or not you've got any reads at this stage.

No. Just no. You no better than this.

It was Day 0 at that point. I was responding to a couple of people who expressed a lack of conviction at that point. I do not expect anyone to have things figured out at this stage, and I would not want them to pretend to either.

No sir.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 6:16 pm I would certainly hope that no one has any solid reads at this point. It'd be a mistake to think so. But it should be possible to have impressions of things. That's more what I'm asking for at this stage.

"I do not expect" is not the same thing as "I would certainly hope."
