I see you posted here that we could analyze reactions to your post about looking for traitor softs, your cat-chup doesn't do that. Do you intend to do this or expect others to do this?

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 12:42 am I agree with 112's appraisal of KZA. I usually find KZA billboard town. So an absence of that is simply >rand mafia.

This is TMI btw

Why can't I find that in the rules?

the part where there's an exile phase instead of a night phase?

like who's gonna be making a factional kill when traitors have no communication lol

I dunno, I figured they'd have a way.


I didn't take exile phase to mean there'd be no NK

blunt & straight-shooting. maybe not usually gonna come up and say outright mean stuff to people before he's really frustrated, but there's always an aspect of wit and telling-it-as-it-is that i'm not really seeing. he's asking questions and not giving a follow-up, basically just doing busywork of his own elect. i'll reconsider if he shoots me down on this but right now i am thinking he might legit be wolfing imo.

Creature wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 10:14 am I wonder how we'll find the traitors

Do you think the traitors will try to contact eachother? Should we look for softs?

I have bad feeling coming from this exact post though, I would not really expect a town to write this at all as an entrance.
This looks odd for a first post, starting with an inclusive sentence (use of "we", to appear townier?), alongside two questions.
Posting questions usually comes as a great initiative and show how willing you are to solve the game, but here it feels like Cat is trying to distance themself from the traitors?
At the same time Cat might want to encourage the traitors doing so (contact each other) with this kind of post.
Overall I do no see a town ground in this post.

I have a bad feeling about your bad feeling. This guy obviously has traitor knowledge, we should search their house.

Joe Who? - Twtbw, townsiding. Town.

Kylemii - I uh think maybe mafia but like don't care that much.

KZA - Shiny townie person.

nutella - Lol town whatever.

Poison Master Radishes - Lean mafia. Would kill.

polypies73 - I think they're town but like whatever.

sabie12 - Lean mafia. Sabie is generally an inno child when town so if they aren't inno child they are just >rand mafia so just kill em.

SlooneiJackofhearts2005 - Honestly I dunno. I like him being the wagon atm though.

Stupid Sexy Flanders - Lol town.

Thunal33 - My town townread this person but I don't. They're probably town but you know, I'll get there maybe.

Thundercat - Just became town af.

Towny McTownface - Fuck I dunno Nook probably self resolves at some point so I don't care. Nook will get towny or die.

This has been a PSA.

Mafia 101 presented by Macdougall

Nik is bad, but so is Macdougall

Cool. I don't believe that you believe this. So you're mafia.

I don't believe you think KZA is good.

I didn't, but then KZA was really towny for a post or so and now I do. I like how you flipped it on me here rather than trying to lie lol.

How's this Made. I literally know you are mafia in this game but I am not gonna push you because I'm gonna watch you solve the game for me while you think you're being smart.

tbh some of the read comes down to me seeing my own scum game in her right now. she's playing like i do when i'm geared up for a long wolf game.

Thanks! There's not much I can add to this but I appreciate your clarification.

What did you really think about his input? Be honest, i might be biased based on knowing i’m town so I want you too weigh in.

Doesn’t it feel like a scum read just for the sake of it and to be different/offer an alternative thought to my playstyle so I don’t continue getting town reads and become a problem for the traitors? Traitors can’t kill off correct universal town reads in this game and I was only getting town reads before he brought about his “suspicions”.

Still more confident in Cat, but it’s definitely something to think about considering if he is a Traitor there’s no doubt he doesn’t also think Cat is too.

I understand your concern (it's why I asked for a clarification on the read on you in particular: I had a similar wariness to you about the read, although I thought 112's entrance was towny overall).

After reading the response, I honestly don't have much to respond about the validity of the points said there but I think the thought process behind the read seems pretty genuine (from the comparison to past scum games as well as the small amount of narrative building which is something I find comes as a result of genuine solving more often than not) and I can see how 112 could realistically think that you were going for a look towny -> powerwolf strategy.

I think particularly the line "she's talking more than there are things to talk about" reminds me of my last wolf game and how purposefully overactive I was and I can understand this point in particular coming from a town who is relatively paranoid at seeing a player possibly setting themself up to try to go deep.

So tl;dr I think the explanation is fine!

It’s just he’s comparing apples to oranges, so i’m like well this isn’t a fair take on me when you don’t know me and he’s applying what he would do unto me, so i’m like ehhh.

I’m generating things to talk about is a lot more accurate and engaging numerous players is a much fairer assessment on my play rn.

Like i’m not just talking for the sake of it i’m actively prodding people, putting people in action, offering reads and my own take things.

Sure this works better in a game scum know who each other are, but I’m not gonna change the way I play based on own game, especially not when I’m pretty confident I have scum.

you have some really good insights and sincere-sounding AtE but then you keep sandwiching it between lines that seem prototypically wolf.

a few posts above you said you're "used to it" and i'm not totally sure what you meant. i mean you probably meant that you're often misread when town, but i've seen people get flustered, say something like this and ultimately flip red when they've been caught too many times consecutively. it's low-quality AtE at best and i don't see why you'd feel the need to drop it in the thread if you're town.

then further back you're like "knowing i'm town n all" as if making a point of expressing what each of your posts should naturally imply. i don't see the reason to note it.

also i don't like how you're talking in some places as if it's obvious that you're town/people should be reading you town. it seems like you're trying to evaluate your own place in the threadstate/collective consciousness which only wolves usually do tbh

like i'm probably not going to vote for you, it's early in the round lol. but you do seem flustered like i said.

We don't have to eliminate her by Day, if some of you suspect her.

Let's exile her instead. She stays alive if town, and she counts as one of the three if she's bad.
