it just hit me that we have delayed cop instead of parity cop, i'm used to having parity cop in smalltown setups, interesting

Posted: **Wed Aug 09, 2023 12:22 pm**

I kind of agree that the take is silly, but I think their instant jumping into solving is nonetheless a towntell. Same with falcon on wilgy

My mind is often all over the place, I don't mind if you want to talk about me, but I don't believe it's a scumtell to have multiple topics at once

The quoting here feels weird so the first line is directed to nutella and the second to 112

i admit my own take was silly but i'm still taking it half-seriously

also you guys are welcome that i chose doublevoter btw. can you imagine the havoc a wolf could stir up with TWO votes?

I do fear the idea of the mafia having four votes in a 12er which is why I'm going to hold you to the fire all game~

not really. they seem standard. i am interested in where falcon's sus on wilgy is going and have a mental bookmark to keep following their exchanges. i don't see it as being particularly damning that wilgy had immediate thoughts to share, though--and i similarly don't see it as a fruitful activity to try to read someone who's making mechanical arguments at the start of the game.

Why take such a passive approach, when you could directly engage myself or Wilgy?

Especially since this is a passive aggressive approach, since you posted it ITT, instead of just keeping a mental note

I'm sorry, but half serious is just another word for hedgey, and it reads like you're trying to walk back from actually making a read

Then I saw the players list does have the roles attached, so there's that.

my opinion of doki is that they could be wolfing and have mildly pinged me. am i sure? no, but why would i be? and why would i walk back a read (as a wolf) when i have full ability to just not?

hedging isn't always a bad/wolf thing to do. as a rule, townies do it all the time. if you want to insert "i'm hedging here" into my posts in place of "half-serious" i don't think it would make the case against me any stronger. so i'm unsure of someone after i put out a super early read on them (i think doki had one post); it's not a big deal. like, i think you're drawing from your thesaurus here in order to discredit me--both ways of putting it can be considered in ways that are more-or-less identical and you're choosing the word that reflects badly on me because of its associations within mafia meta.

simply put: i am unsure of doki. there's a part of me where i see them shifting the conversation at a couple of points where there's not really a benefit readily apparent, except as a way to move conversation into another space rather than on themself (the wilgy/falc question was a form of this).

i'm not walking back from actually making a read unless your definition of making a read is to either give someone the mafia or town label, removing everything in between.

OK, I get that

My initial take was informed by my sus of your role claim, and now that I know they're already public info, I will unironically walk back my SR for now

Why nutella @112m

i thought her 'nahhhh' post on the first page was eerie--eerie in the sense that i can read it as a wolf defending a civilian from another civilian. like, it's easy to say (when one's wolfing and therefore informed) that another player's read is garbage simply by virtue of knowing it's garbage. it's more difficult to lie than tell the truth. she's not wrong to call the read silly, but i don't see where the confidence comes into play as someone who doesn't know alignments. otherwise, on page 2 she's been mostly memeing and letting others steer the ship, which i don't mind as an early-game town philosophy but it still irks me somewhat.
