I don't know why, but that sounds spectacular if it can be justified. I am unable to review his posts at the moment; I am ruffling through late work at the office.

I don’t recall a single post by PA, however both Epi and Jay reasoning mirror the game that just ended where she was civ and also misvoted fairly early I think. (I died D2 and stopped paying attention, but we won so GoC 2024 here I come )

sig wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 6:30 am A few posts stand out to me from scotty
1. His read list: I’m thinking we have one mafia in his scum reads at least hence the kill then 1-2, depending on mafia size, in the town area. Potentially one in the talk more, but I know I’m town, so that’s either lorab or AS. Who I’m pretty sure I called PS a second ago oops

Lorab we should hear more from this phase and AS seemed active just hard to place. I personally plan to focus on the scum lean unless we get some big news.

It should be noted even with LC/Jay both here Scotty did target Jay more. Is anyone still familiar with Jays meta regarding NKing people who suspect him?

Scotty wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 8:55 pm Town reads:
Tony
Simon
Falcon
Wilgy

Townlean:
Moto
Epi

Scumlean:
JJJ
Long con

SCUMREAD:
Princess Abbi

TALK MORE:
Lorab
Sig
Abbi sophia

The other big thing I noticed is he was engaging Epi gang a lot. I’ve got a gut feeling that this is important, but I can’t articulate it at this time.


So this is where the odd comment still stands. Besides the read list and some points scotty wasn’t a town leader right now but he was also semi active.

I’d think mafia would go for a low/no poster or shoot for the top end with epi/Jay.

So I think the main focus for me in the next day or so is to do an ISO of Jay, Epi, LC, AS, and Simon.

I do still have epi as a town read and AS/Simon/LC as a Null.

However, given that it looks like sig was copying notes from Night 1 (in the content you referenced), your point may stand. We're forced to take that or leave it, but I don't object at this point.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 12:06 am I'm very good with motobot, at least by the standards of this game. If he is mafia, I would be quite duped. I am unsure about Simon, but I'll take Epi's word for it (and return to the Scotty kill being strange for him).

Wilgy gave a lot of rapid fire opinions on people.

Why can't you parse those yourself?

Just now leaving the office. Not digging around right now.

DrWilgy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:22 pm thinks going into eod.

Out of the playing players, I think TSP and Falc are the wolfier. Falc W > TSP W though.

Out of the not really here players PAbigail is probably the best vote. They were just not here enough to warrant votes compared to the rest of them. Further PAbigail not really having anything to add following catchup is bleh. I do have hestitate as I've seen this cold footed PAbigail recently be town, HOWEVER that doesn't constitute a reason to not vote them.

Scotty, LC, JJJ, Epi, Moto all have reasons as to why I wouldn't vote so that's fun.

D1 PoE put your consensus between {AbigailS, Falc, LoRab, Sig, Simon, TSP}

motobot wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 10:31 pm So I agree with Epi, I don't think you noticed anything.

I only noticed that you didn't post much in Pyre (similar to Don't Starve), and that was true. You were a civilian in Pyre, so I know that "being quiet" doesn't necessarily mean you have evil intentions.

I don't have any real suspicion of you right now.

He came in quick, knowing he was voted. Snap voted you, then went to bed

And now that you don't suspect him and TR him, he's gonna give you a top TR as well

He's given a 50/50 read on Simon, prolly the least controversial read of all time

How different was his Maf game? Cuz this all seems pretty surface level stuff that I'd imagine many and most players could perform as any faction

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:24 pm I am on board with the POE, Wilgy. I don't really see it with Tony, but I am willing to listen on that one.

It's just gut.

I do often find myself on this issue with Tony though. Tony's posts always have a 'shoot from the hip' feel to me and that often makes me think that progression is splotchy if not missing and that generally leads to dissonance with how I read.

SO yeah, gut read Tony W but I often gut read Tony W, so I'm hesitant to trust that without the input of others.

Simon wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 10:11 pm I'm seeing a lot of JJJ accusing longcon over unusual behavior. But seeing as I rarely play this, I'm not sure how longcon normally plays.

However the real noticable thing is that JJJ is the most active player in the game thus far. And because of this, he just might be talking so much that he's running out of crap to throw at people.

He had good accusations at the start of the game but now it just feels kinda random at this point. And again, I don't play this much, so I'm not familiar with how people normally play.

This might not turn out to be true, but I just thought I'd say something.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 1:41 am DrWilgy's Day 1 suspicion of Tony and falcon might be the most important thing in the game to sort. I would really like to know where all three stand on each other right now.

Well no kidding it’s atypical. I rarely have this problem. Most games are solvable on Day 1 (not that they are successfully solved, but there are avenues to achieve it). This game is only barely better than wild guessing.

Essentially never. Bullshitting reads and chasing false suspects is very easy. Looking the part is very easy. Being typical is very easy.
