I think KZA's recent play has seemed decent. I want to keep the standards high here so I'm still thinking on that read.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: Mon Apr 05, 2021 10:14 pm I'd like to determine an ideal POE pool target size. 22 players presents some awkward alignment ratios, so it's difficult to project. For now I am ignoring talk of multiple mafia teams and operating under the assumption there is only one. If so, I see three arrangements that could be reasonably plausible:

a) 16:4:1:1
b) 16:5:1
c) 17:5

The correct answer, if it's any of those, is dependent upon role strength. I have no idea. I think a safe starting point would be to work with (b) -- I'd expect at least one third party faction, and most hosts seem to favor ratios closer to 3:1 than to 4:1, for better or for worse. So on that basis:

5 mafia, 17 non-mafia

In a world with normal killing pace and a non-hostile independent, that'd set up 5 mischops allowable before MiCho/ChoLo. That would demand a POE pool of 10 (5 mafia + 5 mischops). I'm going to reduce that to 9 immediately in anticipation of at least some non-standard night phase killing power.

So my efforts are to get to a comfortable POE pool of 9, or at least as close as I can. That will be an ambitious undertaking, because it requires removing 12 not-JJJs from the mafia pool. I probably won't be able to manage that confidently, but the effort should still be a net positive if it can be reasonably attempted.
Who's in your group of 9?
I just asked myself "which 9 do I feel least comfortable calling town?" and ended up with 10:

AL_sama
BoKnows
Dom
JPIC
KZA
Long Con
Marmot
Michelle
tedxtr
Tony

This reflects most previous lists. Michelle returns after being out briefly just for lack of content. I am presently working through my mental conception of the game to determine if/where any swaps are necessary. Next one in is probably SPF.
Who would you remove out of that list to condense to nine ( to fit your aim) & why?

Why is ted on ur list?

high standards seems subjective unless u define it in a way im not thinking of

i dont think kza playing the way he played is low quality

i dont think making big "analytical" posts is inherently better, at the end i find the only objective meter of success accuracy. if ur accurate and/or people find u as town is what i think the metric for high standard is, how u get there is irrelevant unless its making people really unhappy which i wouldnt attribute to this case

"quality of post" isn't really what I mean, but rather "actual interpretations of posts that aren't more generous than they should be under the circumstances". I try to avoid snapping from one extreme to another unless I am really moved by something, and I don't feel that yet in this case.

Spoiler: show
  • I don't like @KZA saying tutuu is fake as justification for voting for her. Feels like a weak case.
  • TSP claiming that JJJ is scum, then immediately giving a tepid 'well maybe not idk' response when challenged. If @TonyStarkPrime is town, I see it as a failed provocation to get JJJ to defend himself. If TSP is scum, I see it as a failed cast of a line to see if anyone would help start a bandwagon. Wild speculation here, on my part, but this moment stands out to me.
  • The @Marmot's posts here and the one two posts after it feel weird. I'm not volume-shaming at all, but the linked post reads like a totally needless justification for not engaging much with D1. The latter post, asking about multiball, feels the weirdest. After 20 pages of discussion where there are plenty of cases already gaining traction, including JJJ voting for him as of then, why go back into setup speculation?
  • I for sure perked my eyebrow at @tedxtr's Oddmerta vote, but I really didn't like the almost immediate and admitted bandwagoning by @Esooa. She went from gut town-lean to gut scum-lean in an instant. Esooa is sticking to this vote, which makes me even more suspicious.
Reads on vote leaders:
  • @Oddmerta is for sure casting scumreads without much backup, if any at all. I'm not sure which JPIC post he says he didn't like, nor am I sure that this post in question is his reason for voting JPIC. That said, I learned early on in my mafia days that lack of elaboration ≠ necessarily being anti-town. I'm interested in what Oddmerta has to say, but I'm not convinced of the scumreads on him yet.
  • @KZA is also a case I can understand, but it's another that I don't really buy. I myself have been very self-defensive in past games as a power-roled town, because I saw myself as valuable. I still don't like KZA's take/vote on tutuu, but everything else reads as pretty earnest.
Current (mostly gut) reads (each tier is roughly in order, reasons for the scum-leans are in the notes/observations above)

I feel like it’s the same here
This isn't a kind of read where I would want to rely on meta. "What happened between exactly tedxtr and exactly JPIC in other games?" is a bit too specific to be relied on when assessing the present game I think. Still, that doesn't mean you're at the wrong conclusion. Let me pull up ted's treatment of you. I don't remember it well.

Okay, so how does JPIC's tone give you town vibes?

Also, not really digging your phrasing, 'guess I should make some reads,' as if you're feeling obligated to look town.
you're right, but i don't see how that's wolfy. ime if you don't make reads / contribute to the game in any way you're gonna get voted - it's the syndicate special, vote for the slankers (but only when they're town)

and it'd be a bit tough for me to really pinpoint it - tutuu had a post on it that i felt was an ok explanation even though that's not the entire thing. it mostly just seems like he has an idea about the game / is reading it + he has his own thought processes in the back of his mind. i can see the gears spinning when he asks questions, drawing lines, connecting dots etc etc

it feels like he's extremely comfortable too - which is a tough job to pull off in a playerlist like this, you can take a look at his last game for reference where i think the difference is pretty stark.

tedxtr wrote: Mon Apr 05, 2021 3:59 pm and besides - there's a possibility tutuu straight up spewed jpic a villager here since she's making a few wolfy posts

If I assess the what alone -- what did tedxtr do? he defended JPIC -- this means nothing to me. Anyone can defend anyone. So instead I am concerned with the how. If tedxtr is a mafioso, these posts would make me think JPIC is a civilian by way of TMI. Do I think ted promoted his reads in a manner suggestive of TMI? Not necessarily -- it's an interpretation available to me that I could buy, but it's not a standout or glaring thing. I don't struggle much to believe that these could be real reads either. If I want to nitpick, the orange highlighted thing doesn't add much and stretches a vague one line read into a vague three sentence read. The green thing about tutuu is irrelevant to me at this point.

Basically this doesn't make me suspect tedxtr more, @Justplayingitcool. I wouldn't be comfortable saying it makes him town either though.

I really don’t like post count arguments. Especially in a game with high spam content.

Generally speaking LC is correct. More often than not, particularly early in the game Mafia teammates are compelled to not be voting side by side naked. It's a common enough trope that in the absence of anything overwhelmingly pointing to the contrary it would be ok to view the pair as likely unaligned. I think him reaching for it as a defense in the way he did came off a little pleading for LC. It kinda TMI'd Oddmerta. His pleading was too earnest.

Howdy splints, would you be willing to throw together a reads list for everyone, or at least name a top 3-5 town and top 3-5 mafia? It would help to frame your current view of business.
I still got lots of pages to catch up on, but I’ll definitely try to get to it today because I think I probably have a lot of neutrals still, so looking at the list might help me.

I’m very slow today. It was a horrible night for me and today has been blah

3. He is mafia
4. He's Maf with OddMerta I decided because he randomly spit that post in to the thread after Odd got some votes
5. Mac said that post gave him ball cancer and I believe in Mac at the moment
@NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME what’s his mafia motivation?
Do you think I give a single fuck about things like "mafia motivation" ??

Its a stupid question
Why was KZA’s behavior suspicious to you

Generally speaking LC is correct. More often than not, particularly early in the game Mafia teammates are compelled to not be voting side by side naked. It's a common enough trope that in the absence of anything overwhelmingly pointing to the contrary it would be ok to view the pair as likely unaligned. I think him reaching for it as a defense in the way he did came off a little pleading for LC. It kinda TMI'd Oddmerta. His pleading was too earnest.
Could be. The reason I didn’t do anything with the post you twitched at is it’s not hard to see LC’s comments there as being caught for the wrong reasons. So sure

what do you think about the way your earlier voters moved off you

honestly there's way too much random posting rn that's so tangential I can't actually work through it atm and my current opinion is just lynch into them so I'm starting with tsp like mac suggested

plus he's been scummy
the entire dynamic surrounding me was bizarre - there was a large concentration of pressure/suspicion built primarily off of conjecture, and then the pressure completely evaporated when i gave the slightest pushback. i don't know what to make of it, to be honest

marmot was the person that i found the most suspicious during that entire dynamic - i felt that he jumped in to make a post that signal boosted the suspicion against me (and tutuu) without actually showing an interest in finding a wolf between us

It wasn't really tbh, but I think his response to the barest amount of pressure looked/looks scummy

explain please!

Oh yeah, the "Long Con vocalized his non-elimination vote" case.
And now you are voting the same as one of my other scumreads, the evidence is mounting
Who was the person voting with LC at the time?

I would agree with Oddmerta's take that LC was scummy off his entrance. I think I vocalised as much very early in the game.

At face value KZA’s and Nanook’s suspicion of each other is utterly uninteresting to me.

The only read I've expressed RE: oddmerta this game is that he is silly town.

This game feels like Jay and I are mafia teammates. I wonder if anyone has made that observation yet.
