i think we can both agree that you typically have very strong opinions on mafia and i'm just as surprised as you are at your lack of reads, if not moreso
right, which is why i’ve mostly been leaving you alone and letting you do your thing

do you see a difference between the way that gavial played in the bluesey game that we just finished and the way that gavial has played in this game so far?
My take on Gavial's meta is that when he's town half the time he's really obvious town and half the time he's indistinguishable from his wolf meta.
i dont really have a sense of where your head is at or how youre looking at the game, and i was hoping that voting you would magically make it clearer to me
i don’t know if this is because “hally wouldn’t be wrong on nut regardless of their alignment” or not but in case it is, i don’t really like when people sheep my reads on nutella or anyone really because then i feel more pressure to be correct and start second guessing myself even though realistically i’m probably correct on her
I haven't played with Visor at all apart from Stardew Valley where he posted mostly in GIFs and was in a hydra anyway.
i'm already townreading nutella, if you're town that bolsters that, if you're wolfing i think it's tmiHally wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 9:02 pmi don’t know if this is because “hally wouldn’t be wrong on nut regardless of their alignment” or not but in case it is, i don’t really like when people sheep my reads on nutella or anyone really because then i feel more pressure to be correct and start second guessing myself even though realistically i’m probably correct on her

Because I'm hearing people like dya say that he's anti-town, and I think Gavial is rand. So I put in my two cents about Gavial's meta.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 9:03 pm i'm not voting gavial for being anti-town. he can be anti-town all he wants. i'm voting gavial for being wolfy. i am willing to listen if people feel that he's still within his village meta or if they feel that he's rand, but i dont get why youre framing the votes on gavial as being about gavial being "anti-town" when they're actually about gavial being wolfy

sure, it's just that the wording you used in https://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewt ... 25#p798825 made it sound like you perceived the majority of suspicion against gavial to be about him being "anti-town", when, iirc, dyachei is the only person that's echoed that specific sentiment. it struck me as a little weird but i think that you have a lot of personal experience with gavial and have probably seen him get fos'd for being "anti-town" a lot regardless of his alignment, so i can see you feasibly feeling the need to defend him regardless of your alignmentAlison wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 9:05 pmBecause I'm hearing people like dya say that he's anti-town, and I think Gavial is rand.

can you link a game where he was a villager and was “indistinguishable” from his wolf game?Alison wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 9:01 pmMy take on Gavial's meta is that when he's town half the time he's really obvious town and half the time he's indistinguishable from his wolf meta.
Some people have proposed that if his logic is too sound or if his reads aren't wacky and weird enough he's scum but I don't have a big enough sample size to affirm that (and I have used that very "tell" as a way to frame him when I was mafia and he was town).
I think when Gavial is falling into that segment of his meta where he's indistinguishable from his wolf meta he's actually not very easy to read, and he certainly is in that place right now. I think Gavial is like ~rand atp and the votes on him for being anti town are kinda lazy.

I believe Dizzy's entrance is NAI but I liked their earnest defense of Gavial regardless of Gavial's alignment. White-knighting Gavial doesn't make a lot of sense; you'd be taking on a lot of heat for very little benefit and can even be accused of TMI.

Re: their LOUD BOMBASTIC ENTRANCE where they DECLARE they will NOT play. People call this type of thing wolf WIFOM but I've never actually seen someone like this flip W.
I don't actually know Dizzy's wolfrange, but I wouldn't expect this "maneuver" from any wolf. You can invite people to yeet you without breaking threadflow and magnetizing attention. Wolf!Dizzy wouldn't pop into the thread just to scream "yeet me" and shitpost. In fact, there's even a comparison to be made when you look at KZA's entrance. I brought this up earlier. KZA's entrance is the type of "shitpost wahaha I may or may not care about this game" posting I'd expect from a wolf. Rather than what Dizzy did.
Arete latching onto Dizzy and considering a yeet there, especially calling it "policy..." Rubs me the wrong way. Sure, if Dizzy's a wolf playing like this, losing to it would suck, but this shouldn't be v!Arete's first thought. This feels more like pointing a finger and calling attention. "Hey guys, there's this one dude who posted stuff about wanting to get killed. Maybe we should do it somewhere down the line, idk." It's a very subtle suggestion and I think it's very wolfy.
Since it's one wolfy thing in a string of passable posts by Arete, I'm still content not tunneling them to the death. But this isn't the way of thinking I expected from v!Rete.

I'm going to reconsider Gavial with these points in mind. I'm not closed off to the possibility he's just a wolf.Amy wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 9:12 pm aight, fuck it
ISOing gavial this game i think it's painfully clear he doesn't give a shit about actively engaging other people except regarding their reads on him - and specifically their scumreads. this on its own is already wolfy in a vacuum - and i realize that gavial is a bit more of an "antitown" player than most, but i don't think the previous sentence applies to his towngame at all. grain of salt because it's been a minute, but last time we towned together he was all over the place trying to correct people's reads and actively advancing his own worldview. it was basically the only thing he actually posted to do lol.
is the difference explainable via activity? i don't think so - i recalled a game on Mafia Colosseum where i made a similar read and went back to doublecheck it. i made this read after he had made four posts. i was correct.
i made my ultimatum yesterday because it already looked like he was trending in that direction but i wanted to give him time to do literally anything resembling his towngame. he didn't. dude's just a wolf
so you agree with me now?
I'm not I promise.
Someone tell me why I hate this line so much
i just skimmed the first two pages of that game (not his iso) and like, are you joking? he’s playing nothing like there
