Hi everyone, I waited for this game to start with so much joy and excitement!
Maybe because of the bugs, or because the playerslist is so cool, I let you guess!
Let's have a fun game
Good to play with you again Michelle.

Well exactly two of us murder in cold blood, unless of course we want to argue that the civilians are the bad guys for killing someone first. We can disregard the moral implications of our actions though. Everything we do here is for the greater good.
Thanks, likewise!
There's no bad guy in this game, only good guys who received a villain role!
I don't feel I've done anything to merit a townread
What are you seeing that I'm not?
I saw you shouting I AM TOWN!
Reminded me of the vocaroo game and felt warm
OK, but I do that every single game, and you gave me a towncore cred based off my NAI intro post

Falcon is town, Wiml feels good
Whaddya like about Wiml so far?
Vibe.
Also the killing in cold blood thing is not something mafia would come up at game start
My gaze narrows. Suspicion! Suspicion!
I think Wiml's posts as of your "feels good" read had been fine, but not town-indicative (or anything-indicative). So that read leaves me uneasy. His comment about cold blood was also a response to a silly question I had just posed to him a moment earlier.
Silly question, silly answer, but my logic says that mafia wouldn't use those words.
Wasn't I repeating the same words back to JJJ that he said to me first, though? Unless I'm misunderstanding you somehow.
My bad, my eyes glazed over his post and I didn't notice it, I only read through your answer.
Back to null for you.
No town core for now, sadly

The thing is, I can trust the fact Wiml wouldn't post that as a wolf but I can't trust Jay with the same thing.
Also the Falcon intro is a thing I noticed in many games where he was town.He says is NAI, so I want a wolf game when he started like that @falcon45ca

Civilians falcon45ca -- probably town, and something to be mindful of moving forward. falcon tends to inevitably become vote-bait eventually, and if he's town right now he'll still be town later.
Have posted, no read Wiml -- early posts are perfectly okay, but they don't inform me about Wiml's motivations yet. Kate -- town read on falcon could use qualification, otherwise no impression

Why is my suspicion "nagl"? Do you believe the following two reads should be regarded as trustworthy? Imagine someone other than you made these reads and you had to decide what to do with them.
"falcon is town, because falcon said I AM TOWN the way he did in a previous town game"
"Wiml is town, because he referred to 'cold blood', and I don't think he would as mafia"

I was sniped.
I'm not a fan of how Michelle approached the early townreads on both of myself and falcon. For falcon in particular, I think the stated meta reasons (same first post as vocaroo game) are way, way weaker logic-wise than the confidence Michelle showed in the read prior to being asked to explain it.
Especially since my understanding is that both myself and falcon have historically had the reputation of being very easy to find and clear as town (even if that reputation isn't warranted in my case for obvious reasons to anybody who knows me well) and that I think falcon is currently pretty likely to be a villager.
I think this behaviour is >rand likely to come from wolf-Michelle seeing two villagers she knows she has no intention of pushing for a miselim later into this game and shrug-townreading them without thinking it through logically before posting. These sort of hollow reads are something that I was actively looking out for since they seemed pretty common when I did an admittedly quick meta skim of one of her wolf games earlier.

Although in the case of Michelle in particular I'm not too worried about misreading her because she seems enthusiastic and my understanding is that she's likely to make herself very easy to find in time if town.

If you're town then you're very severely underestimating my wolf range anyway tbh.

I recognize a similar problem from the season 7 finale. I will temper that connection since it was three years ago, but it's in my head.

I will explain why I make GTH reads at SoD: it's to see reactions.
They don't have bad reactions, both of them, insta voting me for making an undeserved AI judgement.
You, otoh, you are focused on your image and the way you present yourself and your reads. It may be that you turned into a pedantic player who needs rainbow reads for 4 players.
Or you want to show off and the focus on how you look it's your way to impress the other townies?

That's a perfectly valid strategy, and I have often done the same thing in the past. I am still left to decide, however, if you were truly pursuing reactions or if those were meant to be real reads that you have had to walk back. I will think about it.

I don't care about my image, but I am absolutely concerned with the ways that I present my reads. When players aren't considerate of their presentation, they tend to have a negative impact on the climate of a game. I don't necessarily "need" to build rainbows with limited players to assess, but it does sometimes help me to conceptualize a starting point for myself.
There's much day phase remaining, so I will leave you be for now so you can play on your own terms.

I am not underestimating your or Falcon's wolf range, dw
The simple fact you talk about your wolfing skills it's a plus though.
Answering at the other post, if you think I am such a bad wolf to make TMI slips at the game start and consider I am not doing these reads in most of my games regardless alignament, I will inform you you are wrong on both.

I don't always believe that spamming votes onto people is the best course of action. When people get heavily wagoned right after a game starts, they can get thrown off-balance even when they are town and struggle to find their way back. I'm giving you space to breathe and play.

I respect that, and I understand your PoV.
My view is that the vote is town's weapon and the only one in a mountainous game.

I very rarely give qualification or much reason, but falcon doesn't bound into the game talking about actual game stuff as wolf. And I can't remember wold falcon ever being on eof the first voter, which he just became when he voted Michelle. So my read on him remains civ.
Me and falcon, town core. Lol.

I also dislike this because, in my experience, the first few big talkers are usually town so they end up setting the table for a mislynch and the wolves saunter in and take advantage of it.

That’s unlikely. But I play rarely, so my next town game could be a long way away for all I know.
