Alison wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 10:33 pm Kyle/mewtini, I'm having the hardest time reading you two. Weigh in on sig vs samu, please.
think samu is clear town for energy and genuineness. also appreciated him trying to preserve thread direction and eventually saying "maybe sig is just aggravated town," felt like he was acting in good faith

reluctant to slap a scumlean on sig out of personal policy (which is that it's d1 and i want to see more before SLing anyone); i think i'm sideeyeing made more at the moment, actually. sig's recent posting feels more genuine / less wordtwisty than earlier posting did (need to reread later, the language boundary was i think a nonnegligible part of it + made was a bit more strange about it than necessary)

i'm curious about any metareads that anyone else may have on made/sig tbh. i also find it pretty difficult to read much of anything from the current lowposters, e.g. i'm wondering where the syn reads are coming from

You post like a town.

It's literally a second lynch if used properly, if used improperly it'll totally fuck up town. We already know mafia can only give it to themselves once. Which means town is instantly at an advantage if we force this conversation into the open it takes all the power from the mafia for every phase except for one

sig wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 10:45 pm Somebody explain to me why this isn't something we should be focused on
I don't actually think this is important enough to coordinate over

Most people go for a POE shot anyway

I will generally agree that maybe wolves wouldn't want hero shots going off, but POE clearing is also something they wouldn't want

more importantly, our debating about optimal gift play will directly influence wolf planning, as inevitably someone will "figure it out" and hand the optimal strategy to the wolves on a silver platter

Agree, at some point coordinate will be the best strat altought wolves know what we wanna do.

If I show aggression out the gate you don't give me townpoints, because you know it's very well within my scum range. Same for Mac, nutella, or any other experienced player. sig is an experienced player. Why does he get points for aggression?

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 5:45 am**

Sloonei, do you agree on disagree on the following points:

1) Samusamu is obvious town.
2) Sig would see that Samusamu is obvious town if he was town.

Okay that made me laugh. That is a pretty townie push though. It doesn't seem agenda-driven and I don't think it's a sensical push for a mafioso to make.

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 6:45 am**

(my two cents is that i also don’t entirely jam with the playstyle, but i’m very hesitant to just call unfamiliar playstyles scummy esp in a new group; noting here that i’m a little frustrated by alison characterizing my “i don’t do hard scumreads d1” as a hedge + that she seemingly asked a question in the hopes of receiving a specific answer?)

Mainly if we want to talk in thread about it or just hit our own poe then pros and cons of both.

I read over samu, I'm not seeing an obvious town vibe, but I do think in hindsight our argument was a bit dumb. So I'll table that for now and gonna switch my vote to no kill as a place holder

Ah but for anyone who knows me theyd say I'm obvious town so are you mafia for voting for me.

Also the idea your mafia for going against someone who you don't read as town even if other people do isn't a straight up mafia thing to do.

How many times have people deep wolfed in games, something Samu says he likes to do.

I'm not saying he is deep wolfing, but calling me mafia for not agreeing hes town isn't very logical seems like your trying to find a weak reason to throw down a vote.

Do you have a strategy to propose?

Yes,

Like I've said before I think we need to treat it as a second lynch, so during the first like 12 hours of night phase we need to decide who's scummy even maybe do a mock vote type deal then all agree to shoot one person or at least narrow it down to 1 or 2.

I recognize that allows mafia to know who's gonna die in advance, but right now I feel like not discussing it until after someone is shot doesn't help town since we're basically letting a rouge kill bounce around

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 8:13 am**

Upon a quick reread, I actually like samu a bit more, I'd not say they're obvious town and I still disagree that my points were scummy but I could see this being town on town.

Redirected my focus to Alison, wilgy, and cat right now.

If anyone can read syn that would be great, he seems to be playing the same as last game where he was scum, but I've not been able to read him very well yet.

I think I was a bit wrong about you not wanting to engage on shots since you were the only one to follow up at a later point and I like your content outside of our disagreement. I wouldn't say you look amazing, but also not bad.

It was also a bit of me needing to cool down take a step back and approach it from another angle. Nobody else seems concerned and while in the past I've been the only one to call out mafia and just ignored I figure I'll put the shot disagreement on the back burner for the time being .

My observation that i based this read on.

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 10:32 am**

From what i can tell townie Alison is a tad more agressive and tries to take a town leader approach, or atleast keep others in check to make sure they aren't stupid.
Scum Alison is a lot more pockety and just places reads down without being too agressive to avoid blame. Would rather agree with someone on a read than push people forward towards one.

As far as i can tell, i can easily be wrong. If it's wrong i will just vote Sloonei, no biggie.

you are never a wolf, even when you are

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 12:48 pm**

if you're going to make a meta read on someone, you should be very, very, very, very sure it's actually reliable meta

if they're known to switch it up, you can't use meta as an indicator of alignment

maybe Alison really is passive as a wolf (I can't see it), but since I have personal experience where she wasn't, idk that I would buy any argument built on "she's passive therefore wolf"
