wdym 0 instinct

you haven't done any instinct plays. it's hard to quantify the lack of it. maybe you just aren't drunk idk.

the drinks i’ve had have been nonzero

do you see calculation from me?

I buy it but I’ll wait for the dizzy take to comment further

Playing in a serious game with known quantities is ~somewhat different than whatever this is. At least, I’d approach it differently

Man the ego read works for a crazy large number of players I don’t think I’ve ever conceptualised it before

Posted: **Tue Nov 14, 2023 7:21 pm**

It might work for me (can’t tell)

perhaps a better way to put it is that you aren't trying to make yourself look better to the thread
(which goes against your own claim of ego based gameplay even as town, but I already didn't think your town gameplay was very ego)
and your wolf instincts let you spot things like rabbit/disq's trap but you haven't shown any play like that in this game, even though I have been channeling the spirit of disq and trying to potentially trap you. instead you just stepped right in and gave a nothingburger response the first time I asked about your SCI play, whereas I now think as wolf you would've seen that coming and been a little more explicit about your methods to go "see here is what i did as wolf that game and I'm not doing it this game"

If that makes any sense.

Posted: **Tue Nov 14, 2023 7:31 pm**

i may be wrong but i voted right on top of disq and rabbit there. they were trapping all right but i’m big game. but in general i think your read is correct and i know you were playing particularly close attention to how i played that game, and are reading me correctly for the right reasons here. instead of some chicanery we both could pull as w/t as either alignment to make things messy, blah blah blah

let’s continue to mason this game

It's easy for wolves to post pointless nagging on players they totally remember playing with yet want to GTH town that same player for the easy pocket.

Although, in reality, I think it all varies.

But I'll take the town spew on TSP.
This is hedgy. Got any thoughts on what they actually posted?
No, I haven't read their posts.

I am once again, unlikely to answer your questions. And if I do, unlikely to be in a way that satisfies you. We will have to manage.
If you haven't read their posts, then why did you make a read on them? Are you just pulling names out of a hat?
seems like a simple progression to me
Alright, I'll use a random number generator from one to thirteen. It rolled seven, which means that Abby is town. Now it rolled ten, which means robyn is a wolf. How's that for a progression?

The RNG is better at reading me than most mafia players

robyn wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 6:14 pm so the spec chat invitational v2, i recognize that the playerlist was incredibly strong and i really wanted to town, i had 2 wolf rands prior to this game, disq/rabbit were both one alignment town players that i would have had a great time playing with. however i rand mafia, and i am pretty dissapointed as xan got voted out d1 in another game and i haven't played with vik. i come into the game expecting to solo wolf in absolute misery, but i can't do nothing because i have a reputation to uphold and i've seen strong towns self destruct before

day one starts and mendes/illario/schweppes all find one another as town and alison suspects me before i even got online. the day started at fucking 6am for me, so it couldn't be helped and i start posting awfully, and i'm just in a bad mood at the start because everyone's so fucking towny, i'm doing the worst out of my team and i find it difficult to integrate into the game

i finally get home and write 4 wall posts and figure out essentially the town leaders and schweppes. everyone involved knows i have an ego, am a dangerous wolf, and plan to do well in such a player list with a spectator chat. i am simply rising to the occasion. so when i do bad that's concerning, but eventually i start analyzing and asking the right questions and as rabbit said "started to be more towny". rabbit at this point hard suspects me/schweppes/illario because we are similar people and we all come off as having tmi as either alignment. and due to out of game reasoning we would play close together

rabbit is like on my ass, disq is on xan, and illario has bad reads, schweppes is townreading me as well as plenty of other players. as ran correctly stated in this thread already, i fucking hate early sus, i need to constantly be aware of what multiple people are doing and thinking in order for me to effectively post well (as both alignments but more so as mafia). so i achieve this and i post towny. i don't particularly know what or how i posted d1-3 in that game either. really what i was doing was providing a steady stream of content and actively solving and pushing and reshuffling. all of it was fake of course but i also wasn't insightful at all

when i'm town i'll be many steps ahead of everyone, this almost always holds true. i make people surprised and i make people question, and i will tell people they're wrong. not many players ever surprise me in a way that's not self evident. i would like to think of myself as a godly powerwolf, however this definition has been disputed. the other definition for me is someone who is very pocket-y and someone who will absolutely destroy thread health to get what i want. i've done it before and i'll do it again

anyway in this game i vote violet at the end of day 1 which is something that I would never do, illario later tells me that he would've suspected me for this had he survived the night. prince goes afk for a majority of d2 and his chop isn't worth mentioning really, it was just so slow and all of it consisted of reshuffling and hyping up the point of view that "prince obvious mafia, next mafia is in [x,y, and z] ggez let's play next" and just had to keep up the activity and be present

during d2 i kind of joat read schweppes along with disq, i decide to kill disq and fake claim joat, on d2. this is because schweppes pushing me is something i don't actually see as possible. i claim joat, let him know i'm doubling, he takes the n3 nk, and a complete ruckus happens d4 where i continue to be near confirmed town

my joat read was wrong, schweppes admitted to FPS'ing, fucking mac of all people subs in and it's actually horrible. to make matters worse i show up drunk to eod and out myself. then d4 is annoying because rabbit/dizzy find one another and me and vik are pushed to the back. i'm happy because my death unclears cait, implicates schweppes, and does not implicate viks

i think i played pretty fucking well then just threw, i made no mistakes and would have lived until f5 had i not drunk posted, multiple tunnels didn't make me nervous and i tricked many great townies

Full disclosure I'm not reading any of this... hope it's not important
