@KZA, talk to me. I'll stop with the aggressive accusations against your activity (which probably are unfair). How are you? What do you think of this game right now?

Do you really think I need to?

When EoD is staring you in the face you are going to look at potentially a really great villager, you are going to look at the flimsy case against her, you are going to look at the downside risk if you are wrong shooting for deep wolf first, and you are going to look for a safer option. And even if you don't probably everyone else on that wagon with you is.

I'm as scared of a deep wolf as anyone, but I'm a realist. There's about a 75% chance off the rand that Amy is a very very useful villager. We aren't chopping that without a lock case, and there is not enough info with no flips yet for a case to really be locked. We can talk about it, we can wagon about it, we can wonder about it...but we are not the village that day one chops a top notch villager on a weak case hoping we found a deep wolf instead of a high value villager and you probably know that if you think about it.

Someone else said Benluga Whale first and I thought it was cute, but I will stop...we'll just go with Benson Whale?

This kind of gives me intimidation vibes tbh.

I do get what you're saying. I'm a risk averse person as well. BUT there are clearly a lot of good or great players in this game that can be useful villagers, so I don't think that's a good enough reason to give a free pass. If Amy is the wolfiest player by the end of D1 then she should get lynched, or at least get considered. That's how I try to operate.
You are right that the tendency is always to go towards the safer lynch, but that isn't always the best play to allow that to happen.

I will say that if I am going to seriously push to get her lynched at EoD I would surely bring forward a more compelling case than I currently have.

Maybe we use the terms differently, but I don't think Amy is ever a deepwolf when she's already under this much suspicion. To me, potential "deep wolves" could be you, Alison, or rabbit. Players like that.


You or anyone else can call me Benluga or whatever you want. It's terrible but in a funny way.

If you bring that more compelling case I will back you 100%. I don't think such a case can be made without flips and looking at votes, but if you can make it good good good on you.

In the meantime I'd appreciate any help you can give in sorting among the admittedly more likely chops that a risk averse village will almost certainly wind up choosing from. Thanx in advance.

nah, my slot is town. don’t write me off yet, i will sparkle soon enough!

(also part of the reason i may not be as sparkly town is because my town game relies on spewing thoughts constantly, which i can’t do with a post cap unfortunately. like normally i’d catchup live as much as possible but i don’t wanna get capped. nothing i can do about this though, but it has so far been a problem for me in light games so i’m just putting it out there)

Excellent.

I doubt the wagon holds once Hally starts shaking the thread. She is highly motivated and has a perspective looking from among the more viable chops...she is probably the best real chance we have of actually finding a day one pelt.

i mean, in my personal opinion this is a reach. i saw it as clarification for the sake of clarification, ive flatly clarified a bunch of stuff already this game i feel like (and reminder im town) altho maybe they werent flat and i just cant accurately recognize how i come off as but. mm. idk, like, ... nvm actually u do say it yourself that this point might be weakest

i like the person with the whale avatar. was it benson? i like alison's tr on him alot.

looks like im in the minority but i kind of dislike nutella? (in the sense of not townreading her obviously!). i think that shes hard to read, finding her as town in pyre mafia wasnt easy, a lot of ppl were scumreading her but i managed to do it. and in this game i feel like if she's town it's ... even harder to find her? and everyone townreading her is just making me paused. am i in the wrong here to perceive nutella this way, or am i not? that is the question

1/60

Legit lold at the whale avatar thing. Names are forgettable but beluga whales are forever.

Spoiler: show

I don't know if you saw, but I've been lightly sussing nute so far. I've towned with her once before and I feel like I found her pretty quickly because she projected well with how villagery her stream-of-conscious posting came across. The constraints of this game are certainly different but I'm not seeing those towny thoughts. Like she's mainly just agreed or disagreed with things that others are saying. But maybe it was D0 and she didn't care that much?

I think I'll force myself to break for the night so I don't waste too many posts before the round has really started.

This is wolf lurkiness and vastly different than my read on LC. LC posts when he posts without regard to whether he "needs" to or not, and his posts refer back to context deep in the thread. It isn't this "snap to action OMGUS" on things that are just happening at the moment.

Hally is about one good post away from me switching my vote here.

I'm kinda torn because at the time Nutella was top wagon and here we are with Hally top wagon...and both look around and say "hey how about Nanook?" But it isn't like they are making a big reach to suss Nanook I don't think. His reaction isn't really jiving to me, but I don't know him.

SHUT UP ALISON

im about to watch this movie u recommended btw. kung fu hustle. u said its very funny

“SHUT UP ALISON” is something Tutuu likely says if they are in scumchat together. Its too angry for town Tutuu to say to Alison. They are besties.

I'm kinda torn because at the time Nutella was top wagon and here we are with Hally top wagon...and both look around and say "hey how about Nanook?" But it isn't like they are making a big reach to suss Nanook I don't think. His reaction isn't really jiving to me, but I don't know him.

@nutella is this as familiar as I'm thinking it looks?

This is not a good combination with somewhat scummy thread presence. You give a smattering of very early (meaning of dubious quality) reads and then mostly peace out until someone calls you on having done very little as if they are wrong? What's the thinking behind this?

Maybe? They came really early so they genuinely could not have had much behind them. I mean they are probably head and shoulders better than an avatar read, and lord knows I make plenty of those...but he hasn't really provided any notable enhancements over time either.

Well, since I agree solidly with two out of three we could say that I am "taking them seriously." We can even say that I believe shooting two out of three on having your snap reads turn out consensus agreeable is a pretty good record. I just don't see it as laurels meriting being rested on. Two out of three snap read villagers turning out good isn't even rand.

You're gonna be pretty disappointed!

hot take my dude you have been playing up your nanookness to such a cartoonish extent that i think it's a facade

I don't even know what this means

What is my nanookness???

@nutella still waiting for an explanation what this even means

should be obvious tbh since youve only done one thing in your posts this game and thats what im referring to

you're playing up your character of not doing shit d1 and yes you have done so a fair bit in recent town games but your tone is different here and so i have a gut read that you're faking/emphasizing it a bit unnaturally

idk it's not a strong read i'm just concerned that you don't feel quite right

I didn't think it was shading. I was thanking you for mentioning my sig because it reminded me of its existence and gave me good memories. I don't take the avatar/sig reads seriously because I don't think that you do either.

If you're being honest? Is that going to be an issue for you in this game?

lets see if i finally understood how to read long con. dont think ive ever read him right.

i think this "gotcha" post is town. ill be honest, im heavily biased to tunnel my early gut townreads and never reevaluate so idk if i can claim in good-faith that i will ever re-evaluate Long Con from this moment on (not trolling btw. sorry thats just how i am. maybe confessing of ur sins is the first step). but yeah. UNLESS he's maf/maf with Scirrus. yeah. ok. long town is con unelss maf/maf with scirrus.

also, i love you very much, alison.

tutuu -
proto - town cuz of thinking me saying SHUT UP ALISON was actually rude and thinking it was maf/maf theatre
alison - town cuz rock-paper-scissor fallacy
amy - town cuz of the erect finger tell (im stealing this from dizzy. its basically when u raise ur finger at someone and b like "OH HELL NAW")
beluga whale - town cuz lonely
long con - town cuz i just said why
timsup2nothing - town cuz i like his posts. also i had 1 very intelligent reason listed on day 0
master radishes - town cuz of the "oh do me do me!" gif. like, excitement at seeing how ppl would read him. curiosity. town shit
nanook - town cuz he called me town and maybe correctly townread radish
scirrus - towny cuz hes scummy
KZA - town cuz had a non-maf/maf post with iaafr
colin -
colonialbob -
dizzy -
werewolfhunter -
iaafr - maf cuz voting a villager
nutella - maf cuz just throwing shade and being impossible to townread in my subjective and personal opinion

13/60

edit linki: awp is that sniper from counterstrike, beluga whale

also (to asnwer ur q) i guess my emotions arent set in stone i just felt the mood to change my "persona" u could say idk. from my pov it all makes sense and its normal. maybe its not like that from an outside pov idk

tutuu's 333 enclosed

tutuu top town not gonna spell it out, i think just very likely to be a transparently solving town
proto - have had some doubt here, i think his most recent posting has hit some scum notes with me (it always bothers me when people give handwavey tentative townreads, esp on me), but i still think the way he's been forming his scumreads has felt genuine. if amy is town, still have reasons to be concerned though...
alison - already been over this, thought her early scumreads were valid, i also think scirrus/nutella = wolfy more recently might be a valid perception as well, though i personally strongly disagree with scirrus being wolfy.
amy - still unwilling to town amy independently, unlike tutuu. still think the motivation scumread might apply. don't even think hard unaligned with nutella, there's no reason amy/nutella would avoid shading each other entirely if they both perceive each other/themselves as wolfy, could be going for distancing if they sense they're likely to go down. roughly same level of scummy as nutella in my brain now, maybe still more (biased, tunneling, my pet tunnel)
beluga whale - ive liked the enduring sus on amy, feels real. probably the realest feeling, and part of what's emboldening me to stay sussing amy. even if wrong on amy, i like his scope and depth of thought. possibly my highest townread after tutuu, personally
master radishes - i share sus of master radishes that others do; don't particularly think tutuu's reason for townreading radishes is a great one. just re-skimmed the iso, don't see any great reasons to want to town. apparently he keeps getting yeeted d1 in games recently? keep streak going? give him respite? decisions
long con - could easily be scum. no strong reason to want to town. pretty much =rand imo
nanook - towny but not out of scumrange (think he has a respectable scumgame); unlikely w/w with nutella, i said i'd give him a pass
scirrus - i keep vibing with his catchup. i feel like there is a genuine town solving process in his catchup. i'm fine with his reads. i'm ok with him being ok with consensus. probalby top 4 town, personally.
KZA - might just be frozen scum. no reason to disbelieve benson. no reason to read him town at this point in the game.
colin - could easily just be scum, but if amy is w and scirrus is town, i think it might just be too blatant of a chainsaw to be w/w with amy? idk interested to see where he goes next time he's around
colonialbob - ?
dizzy - ?
wwh - townvibes for some reason, no reason to not effectively have in null for now
iaafr - self-aware wolf
nutella - just recently gave thoughts on her, recently decided could be w/w with amy


perfectly willing to end up voting some sketchball who doesnt seem to want to play anyway over either amy or nutella though

This is NAI for nanook, in my experience with him. I think nanook is town here. His reads are both okay and in line with the sort of thing I expect him to make. Confident early game reads based on tone or stuff that's similar to tone like the Captain thing, aggressively trying to find lock town and form a towncore, not caring too much if he's scumread except to "how dare you" people who scumread him. It's fakeable as scum, but if someone has good reads and are also acting exactly like they do as town, I am inclined to townread them.

linki: Why isn't nutella/nanook W/W, Hally? What makes you think pointing out her own partner's tone as forced is outside of nutella's scum range?
