Let's say I flip green right now and my arguments that Gavial has been essentially NAI this game are proven to be made in good faith. Are you going to treat him as outed wolf because we're "W/V"?

no, i'm going to treat him as a wolf because his iso in that other game is a lot villagerier than this game and it's not just about whether he posts or not?

I think you've pushed the narrative that I am trying to protect Gavial because I'm W/W with him the hardest, which I think is pretty blatantly untrue in both senses. The others may be concerned about my alignment, but they're at least trying to figure me out/reason with me, whereas you're just, like, letting other people pile on and then pointing a finger and going "Alison is so wolfy smhsmh".c4e5g3d5 wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 9:56 pm"You were wolfy in these two games so they're the same" smhAlison wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 9:53 pm I caught you in COV because you had terrible associatives with MR.

So is the team exactly me/dya/spf/Zack if the reasons are that bad then? Or is there something specific about the way I did it?
Just to clarify because there's been a lot of talk about how different Gavial was between that game and this. I am not saying that Gavial is exactly the same between that game and this. I actually townread Gavial confidently for being different from Fallout 2 (where he was a wolf) in that game and here I am NAI on him. I am using that link to demonstrate that he can engage in some of the behaviors you're scumreading him for even when he is town. For instance, Amy wrote that she felt that Gavial was just faffing about and doesn't really care about deeply engaging with other players. That's something I think he did in Double Elimination as well, he just pushed his own concerns, told people to fuck off when they were scumreading him and didn't really care to realtime with them or try to seriously evaluate them.dyachei wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 9:57 pm you showed me a village game of gav's. that's not his behavior here. therefore he's wolfy rn
you have shown me you're not really paying attention to the game but you're making hard conclusions on it. I'm not sure you give a fuck about this game rn but the thoughts you're providing to the thread are really shallow for you. therefore, you're being wolfy
those things exist no matter what. is it now conf bias to have reads on people?

I don't think it's fair or accurate to accuse me of not paying attention to the game. I don't think my thoughts have been shallow at all, and yes I think you're confbiased because you've said that if I were to flip town you wouldn't take my reads and thoughts into account at all. Which is literally confbias, refusing to update your beliefs in light of new evidence.
I can't tell if this is what you actually mean, but no, my role in this momentum wasn't passive in the slightest.Alison wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 9:58 pmI think you've pushed the narrative that I am trying to protect Gavial because I'm W/W with him the hardest, which I think is pretty blatantly untrue in both senses.

i didn’t really get your read on himAlison wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 10:10 pm I don't feel like people are fairly listening to what I have to say about Gavial. At several points in this conversation I have felt as though my words have been distorted or that the meaning I'm trying to get through isn't getting through. Nor do I have confidence that I'm going to sway you on this.
So let's talk about something else. I raised a read on Visor being townie because he seemed to genuinely believe that my read on nutella's wagon was truly nonsensical, when if he was scum he would know deep in his heart that it made sense. It didn't get much attention and got buried by the Gavial stuff. Can you talk to me about that/Visor in general?
based on what I've seen in the posts I've read (which, again, is not all the posts that exist) I think he's probably a wolf, he's not playing like town!Seth like at all, from what I've seen he's not even making an attempt at pushing any of his scumreads? which is one of the big things I expect from town!Seth
ok I don't know how to feel about this lol. obviously there's no 3p in this game so it's sort of weird for them to make that comparison, and again my posting is different because it's a light game (plus some timing/investment things i guess)dyachei wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 8:04 pmi have amy as probably villa.

She's also barely posted and it was all on page 1/2 iirc, hoping to get a better handle on her when she returns.dyachei wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 7:55 pmalison most wolfy - have talked about herbronana wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 7:52 pmthere's not much to say and i don't want to get into a fight about it, you just don't seem like town dya so farI doubt you will go down today while Gav exists, if you're town I should get there in time.
what are your three strongest reads in either direction?
towniest is probably tangy. I had them as sort of towny before but I liked their wall, too. I just think there was a lot of detail in there that wouldn't be if he were a wolf?
interesting, I did like tangy's wall and possibly am being unfair with her. lol maybe i'm just used to getting an extensive sampling of 500 posts where i can immerse myself in her mindset and see the villagy POV![]()
any thoughts on amy, nutella, or gavial?
nutella actually feels wrong to me. I know I was fucking around with you guys when I said her posts aren't bad yet...but they haven't been good either. I'm not getting that v nutella tone I'm used to seeing. She kind of feels like she did in the game where she was 3p
hally i feel like your engagement with the thread has been really limited/narrow and it's kinda unsettling; however your gif response here actually reminds me of reflections from the mountaintop where i incorrectly wolfread you from spec (when you were similarly sort of flippantly laughing off/embracing early wolf reads)Hally wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 8:26 pmDyslexicon wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 7:54 pm>> rand scumHally wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 7:34 pm

I think you've come into the thread with low expectations and have outperformed them to a ridiculous amount.

But i think your process feels right to meDyslexicon wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 7:59 pm @dyachei What is your read on me?
Can you talk about how Alison is your top scum read when she has only 7 posts in the game? I'm not saying it's wrong, and I you probably have talked a lot about it, but if you would restate, I'd appreciate. I did read Alison's ISO btw.
i also know that you can be a scary wolf. So i'm calling you light v but I've got the fear
just seems kinda fake and like you’re saying stuff you think you should say
but now that i write out this post i don’t really feel strongly about it, meh
i'm thinking alison is sliiiiightly heading into a townlean for me as of hereAlison wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 8:51 pmYou're right, I usually have more thoughts on the game. I don't this game though. I opened up by saying I had no reads which is pretty unusual for me.dyachei wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 8:56 am Alison's post wasn't super great - where she basically accused people of trying to get an easy mis-elim on nutella. Not necessarily because it's within the first 3 hours, but because it feels like TMI on nut. But lets say I'm wrong there...she still left the thread shortly after with no other insight. The alison i know usually has other thoughts on the game.
I explain it in a post above in this page.Arete wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 11:03 pm Okay I'm several pages behind and I have a bunch of other things to say that I haven't typed up yet but I saw that Alison had linked a Seth towngame as an example of him playing to his wolf meta and in the first five posts of his Iso I found this
which makes me really confused as to why Alison is using it as an example of him playing identically to his wolf game when she almost immediately found him as town?? @Alison??
think I agree with thisAmy 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

agree with thisAmy wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 9:29 pm to play devil's advocate:
for alison to have TMI that seth is a wolf, see THAT iso, and decide that she can pass it off as "indistinguishable from his wolfgame" in a manner that would get us to back off of him here requires alison to either think we're REALLY dumb or for her to somehow not see the difference despite having tmi
i guess it could be the sort of outlandishly brazen claim that i've heard w!alison likes to make? dunno. never seen her wolfgame
but on the surface it's such an obtuse point in seth's defense that i'm tempted to call it unaligned as a lv1 read, just because in what universe does that ever work?
(on the other hand if gavial does somehow wind up a villager i kinda just wanna park a vote on alison and go afk for 47 hours 59 minutes)

Alison had a post where she said that he plays to his wolf meta half the time as town which I don't think is true, I have actually seen it happen by which I mean 'I replaced in for him in a game where he was the uncontested top wagon for doing that' but I think it's more like ten percent of his town games than half of them? which is a number I completely made up but is probably the right ballpark
also I might be misremembering the details but someone had a post that was like 'why even bother to vote him out if he's a wolf, wolves are just going to bus him for towncred which doesn't help us' (this is a really misrepresentative paraphrase) and I think that's also dumb, wolves dying is always good and the fewer wolves there are the stronger the tracker is (and the fewer wolves need to die to turn the jailkeeper into a cop) (also he could be a wolf PR)
like if we're worried that wolves will just bus him we can just not give people towncred for being on his wagon if he flips scum? duh?
I'm not voting him yet because in the offchance he's not I don't want him to randomly tunnel me for Seth reasons when he gets back, getting tunnelled by Seth for sucky reasons is Not Fun, if he's still being wolfy by EoD then I can just vote him then and my vote will do exactly as much to kill him as it would if I voted now
