Sloonei is not a civilian. Lynch him now.

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

Scirrus wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 11:51 pm So here are some thoughts n stuff!


epignosis - pushed me and asked for my read on sloonei which I like. Seems very "lets get to the point" which i tend to associate with towniness. Gives out reads early and seems to have done the most to advance the gamestate, which i also associate with town

nova - i liked that he gave reads at the beginning, i think there was something else i liked but i don't remember atm lol

sloonei - null. want to hear what more people say about him. i don't really like that he asks a lot of questions but hasn't given much in the way of reads

juliets - seems pretty agreeable, i have a slight scum vibe, but that just be becuase i don't know her playstyle. a couple things like her assuming ppl should think she has scum reads, announcing she would ask the mod about the mechanics, etc found odd. but i can't decide if they're scummy or just player quirk things

everyone else - idk. post more. make yoselfs known k thx

juliets wrote: ↑Tue Jun 02, 2020 8:26 am @Scirrus regarding Sloonei and nova, I thought they were asking me for early reads but they both clarified they were only asking for impressions. I just misinterpreted what they originally said.

Regarding Sloonei, my naked impression was towny but we played a game recently where I read him as town all game (our Game of Champions) when he was really scum so I kept him in my null pile because he can fool me. He reminded me here though that there were two mafia teams in that game so his behavior was to scum hunt just as if he were town in that game and that's probably why I was fooled for so long. That made me feel better about my town impression of him here so I changed him from null to town impression.

Regarding Dizzy, yeah I'm not worried yet. He mostly has just made me laugh because he's just Dizzy. I agree that his reason for saying he wouldn't be scum hunting will reveal itself eventually but that doesn't mean I'm not curious and shouldn't ask for the reveal early.

Also, I think it was you who asked, some of us use scum here, some of us just call mafia "bad" or "baddies", some use mafia, and some may use wolf but that's less common. Use whatever you like. Also, we many times use "civ" for town.

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.

112 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 02, 2020 9:59 am I think I've played one game with scum!mac but don't recall how he played in it. But he's been a much more vocal force early on in town games I've played with him.

112 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 02, 2020 10:01 am Scirrus is probably my strongest town-lean atm. He has lucid and free-flowing posts and a lot of them.

112 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 02, 2020 11:07 am my meta of jack is that he doesn't lowpost. could anyone with more experience with him chime in?

Obligatory MP must be a wolf! Post

Currently I have Jules/nova/112/Epi/sloonei/scirrus on my no kill list, so that’s 7/9 including myself.

Who wants to stand up and be townread?

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.

In this game, I'm at best a wall of shit. And you can all look at that wall if you choose. Cryptic. Cryptic.

Scirrus - He's from Personality Cafe, so lynch on sight. Scum.

Juliets - Way too nice. Scum.

MP - Too many posts consecutively. Scum.

Epignosis - Always scum.

112 - Doesn't even use the alphabet in her nick. Scum.

Nanook - Mermaids are scum.

Sloonei - People are voting him, so he must be scum.

Nova - Has definitely posted. Scum.

The rest are default scum reads.

Aw. Maybe I can pretend to be town. Can definitely make some deals and stuff though. Do you know what room that is yours? Asking for a friend.
