I usually make my own towncore that nobody listens to then get pissy and say I told you so when people kill into it despite my protests

YMMV

Yeah all right let's go. I'd wanna put bronana in but I don't think he wants to join me. Sloon seems comfortably town to me and I think he town reads me. Who would you want to invite?

Me you Mac Lissa is my towncore so far

Bronana can come sure

I think there’s really high odds there’s one scum between sloon and wilgy based on Jovian’s EOD, thoughts?

cayvie wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 5:23 am Is this a typical syndicate game? In terms of style, tone, energy, etc

I’d say no, good deal of new to syndicate players in this game.

But I’m also sort of half assing this game so I may not be the most reliable source lol

Yeah I'm asking bc it doesn't feel like there's much teamwork going on? Idk people building off each other's reads and such. Most of the solving looks like people doing their own deep dives.

Yeh that’s actually pretty normal for here, lots of good individual town players but a lot of them prefer to play cowboy style over collaborating

I kinda hate it but that’s the way most people here play, so when in Rome etc

Sloonei wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 3:07 am What are your other issues with him, lissa?

his wilgy progression, and also his... i suppose philosophical-ish progression surrounding it would be the best way to put it

on d1 he parked on wilgy all day because "the host said to". i don't think this is particularly good but i don't think it's damning in itself or anything

but

day 2 he reacted imo somewhat poorly to the turnip head claim, then said he didn't think yeeting dr wilgy for inactivity after yeeting radishes for inactivity was great. i think "yeet the doctor claim over someone who seems to be being yeeted for inactivity" is a strange progression in terms of like... ways of viewing the game, from his d1. parking on wilgy d1 for the reasons he did says to me very mechanical and straightforward, or really primarily just mechanic focused/emphasized. his eod2 is what i would define as Not That. long con doesn't seem like the type of person who should be staying on turnip head, a person claiming in what i would consider to be a clear enough manner, there as a villager, when his best reason to not be on wilgy is "not wanting to yeet someone for inactivity again" - and radishes and wilgy were very different cases anyway. then on top of that, d3 he bounces back into having a very mechanical line of thought, thinking about how having the doctor roles alive could be used to set up a follow-the-inforole strategy. someone who thinks about mechanics in this way should, imo, be much more hesitant to yeet someone he i believe should have clearly grasped was claiming a protective.

sorry i'm not sure how easy to follow this is lol, i can try to clean it up

I'm definitely empathising with this atm. The game feels bizarrely lonely. I enjoy the in thread interaction and like it definitely feels like pulling teeth. A bunch of people talking about me and nobody saying much to me.

Why do I take more energy to sort than Marcher Jovian - Wilgy?

Probably just a Latin word that became French and then circled back to English thanks to the Norman dicks. The French elite have delicious recipes while the filthy English peasants just throw their scraps into a stew.

hrm

i don't think i care too much about the minimality of their cross-stances earlygame, since wilgy didn't have a lot period to either work with/have those thoughts within at that point

wilgy lashing out and escalating a wolfread on someone saying he's not done much seems pretty consistent with his previous posting, if i recall the timeline of it correctly

i could see them as partners but i also could kinda see "really omgusy villager" in that wilgy progression and i almost feel like that last marcher sequence is them trying to spew wilgy as their partner

This follows the "bloody non sense you almost shot Carotte blabla" and comes from virtually nowhere in Marcher Jovian's DrWilgy progression.

This is like level 0 take but if DrWilgy is town I don't see why Marcher Jovian wouldn't have pushed a TvTvTvW world.

Cayvie cayvie cayvie! I want nothing more than to hear about your POE right now if you’ve got one. Ans if you haven’t got one, who are the top town reads?

Sloonei wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 11:53 am Yeah, I would not call Tony a town read, but the concerns that he is laying low and not living up to Champs standards are not immediate mafia indicators to me. For reference, these are the two wolf games I have seen from Tony:

Fallout
The Polka Heist

In both games he was highly involved and devious. He is not the type of player to give up at the sight of a non-town role card. I do not view is lighter-than-normal participation here as alignment indicative.
