You aren't really doing much to change that though with your maintained shtick. It's kind of demotivating because I still think you're probably town.

How could it be demotivating?

Mech? Mechanics? Mech suits? MechaStreisand? Sure.

Catching up on reading through the thread. My feeling right now is that Mac is town, and maybe Robyn as well.

I'm feeling less sure about leetic - posts at time seem almost purposefully muddy.

How could it be demotivating?

Because I feel like if you are town and actually committing time and energy to playing this way in a game that invariably many other town aren't even bothering to play at all it will be a difficult almost impossible feat to beat a wolf team even playing poorly.

Imagine if Robyn is town with like Scotty/Serhal/Tutuu/LC or something. Not that outlandish a world. How are town supposed to win this game?

Posted: **Wed Dec 27, 2023 7:31 pm**

Like I look at this and think, if I was a wolf and Rondo is town... this game is so easy. I literally only have to say Mac is town, passively object to any modicum of sus he casts against my team (or ignore it) and nod when he pushes a townie.

@robyn a little like how Porscha reacted to my vote on you.

Posted: **Wed Dec 27, 2023 7:34 pm**

And I'm not putting the blame squarely on you Rondo because obviously the people who are phoning this in as town myself included have some blame too, but specifically in the world where you are town you're something of an active participant in the problem which means it's a choice for you whereas for the others I dunno maybe its just Christmas or whatever, and I don't really townread any of them.

Like Abigail is maybe my only actual townread? I dunno. I think it might be pertinent to maintain my townread on DM from D0 still because them not doing much since doesn't erase it. And maybe I accept Pyxxy's claim as at least self resolving.

Posted: **Wed Dec 27, 2023 7:35 pm**

@Serhal talk to me in more detail about your Leetic read.

Posted: **Wed Dec 27, 2023 7:39 pm**

@leetic aside from "Mac is lame" can you actually outline your scumread on me in a way I can actually parse as a reasonable line of town thought? Because reading me as lame equals mafia and maintaining your push on me when 3 people who know me better are saying I'm town feels like clinging to a nonsense push to some extent. I need to at least see that there's more to it.

Also what does the game look like to you in worlds where I'm town?

Posted: **Wed Dec 27, 2023 7:44 pm**

@Porscha explain your read on Leetic please

Posted: **Wed Dec 27, 2023 8:00 pm**

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 7:35 pm @Serhal talk to me in more detail about your Leetic read.

A couple of times he's brought up a specific person or instance of something happening and analyzing it within an inch of its life:

This - well this
THis - well then this
Thisss - Well it's gotta be this

It can be a wolf tactic, putting out so much analysis of something that essentially doesn't say anything in the end. That's why I'm a little sus.

Posted: **Wed Dec 27, 2023 8:12 pm**

day 1 I had the initial idea that the ability used on him would likely be a wolf ability but I hadn't said it in thread, so when he brought it up day 2, I found it very agreeable. in hindsight though, after abbi claiming it so *so* openly, it strengthened my read on her and it weakened the argument I could have made for leetic earlier. but he has this sort of ... high energy to his posts that comes off as towny entitlement to me. I haven't seen leetic as a wolf before so I could be getting finagled here, but I'd be lying if I haven't seen towns push mac like this before. I did also consider that why would wolf leetic do all this in thread and not just night kill you instead if the wolves really want you gone, however this stank-slank-gamestate might be the only possible world where he could successfully try to push you and get it for free. i'm still just sort of clinging to my initial town feelings towards him, but I'm open to the possibility he is power

This is dangerous to assume and should not be in play.

In any case, falcon’s play is…town so far.

By his own admission, he is easier to read as town vs mafia as the game goes on

this is a bad post judging by flip, i tr falcon for cheap reasoning and scotty comes in and just has the same read but discredits my reasoning and gives a hesitant townread for actual reasons. something something credit/keeping him from being lock town

also what the fuck was that night kill, falcon of all people

Rondo is giving his reads, just in an envelope of "they're my mafia partners".

Simplified, the partners are his suspects. Less simplified, just read his posts without the self-referential jokes, and you get his reads.

It’s quite myopic, to be fair to views everywhere

Ok hmm. Gonna go down the poll.

Robyn: I remember you’ve posted- perhaps a tad laced with agenda? But it hasn’t really pushed me in any particular direction

Falcon: town right now for having similar reads RE rondo.

LC: might be fine for reasons. But that all depends on if I were blocked or not.

Rondo: could be a jester. Actually tho. Could also be a role that wants to die, and could be any alignment as far as I’m concerned. I will NOT town read him. Would shoot.

sig: perfectly fine as D1 chop as is tradition.

pyxxy: when he pops in, it’s like Adam Sandler with fluorescent shirt, baggy pants and backwards hat, and then leaves as soon as he pops in. I don’t associate that with town pyxxy.

Serhal: rookie, would let him try on ice skates before buying new ones

Tutuu: literally don’t remember anything tutuu has said. Probably not a good sign? Or could be my early onset Alzheimer’s. Scumlean.

Leetic: is a good singer. Would keep the bard around. Townlean for vibes

Mac: since initially finding his suspicion of me opportunistic, I think his takes are unabashedly honest. Not as chaotic as I expect from wolf mac. Townread. Would not kill today. Maybe by day 3 tho I’ll change my tune.

Abbi: I don’t have a lot of town things to say here. Not inquisitive and doesn’t feel comfortable in thread. Still don’t know what bad Abbi looks like. Scumlean.

Porscha: town lean. Not meme posting. Using what remember from a recent champs game where she was yeeted Day 1 for far less to inform my decision here.

DM: don’t remember posting. Not damning, but not exciting.

this lacks the seriousness which i would otherwise expect from town!scotty trying to solve the game. he ends up scumreading the entire poe and hedging the rest

also concerning what's not there, independent thoughts and reads that he'd die for

I think Mac is probably bad, Rondo is probably Town, Scotty is maybe Town, Abi is a scumlean, leetic/Mac aren't w/w, ummm.... I could vote Porscha or DM. Or pyxxy. I think those are my reads. Two games at once, so the crossover players muddle a bit.
