Now that Rico is in the PoE if he were town he'd need to find the wolf not a PoE of 2 and I feel like there's a lack of interest in that. Like "Scotty is the manipulative" feels like he's putting a lot of effort to discredit Scotty without outright calling him a wolf, and there's not the sort of impressions I would expect from a townie. Like I'd expect a townie to have real-time thoughts and impressions of how people are treating him and that's almost absent.
This is becoming bothersome.
Having a PoE of 2 is (still) the range I find sufficient to smoke out the wolf. It's true for anyone else, whether they "stick to this plan" or mislynch me and embrace a different game tomorrow.
The quote line came at the end of a proper analysis. And it is answer to what not only you, but Scotty as well, asked. Now it's being seen as discrediting. Ok.

One, it is not in a vacuum, it is in a specific context, and you are now the third player ignoring that context.
I didn't play shit until I made that shot.
I don't believe and never stated "I am townie", i.e. asked for cred, for anything.

To be fair, that is probably the main thing that brings him into the towny discussion. He didn’t do much until then. :shrug:
That's true, and it is possible t!Rico just thinks it's the only thing clearing for him.
It is. You are now the third player ignoring that context etc.

Take me out, Thunal, nutella. A pool of three players now not looking at facts and context regarding that D2 vote is already too big, it basically means I've lost town support for the 3-PoE solve and for myself.
Take me out and good luck with the f3, whether you'll be there to manage it or you entrust it will be in others' better hands.

Bro. You do know you picked the wrong guy to taunt at ISO'ing and showing you the receipts, right?

#1151, arguments

Rico should not be cleared - was gonna make the same point Falcon already did [my note: oh, I already stand correct, here's a slight sheep]
Rico is suddenly playing - how convenient.
Rico is wolf for suddenly playing.

#1192, arguments

Rico if bad had no option but to wake up and play
Epig was likely to go over [my note: although you pulled up AN INCOMPLETE tally in which it was 2-2, ignoring Syn's 3-2 move], so Rico should not be cleared for his vote.

#1236, arguments

What strategy other than bussing Epig could Rico possibly adopt to reach endgame [my note: argument devoid of vote progression context

#1269

Appears to be a partial argument, in agreement with falcon [sheep #2?], that Rico not being NK is tinfoil for wolf.

#1272

Rico is bad for coming back to life.
Rico is bad for tiebreaking Epig and taking a town claim for it. [my note: argument devoid of vote progression context]

#1326

Rico is bad for being committed to low-posting.
Rico is bad for wanting to solve his PoE.

#1338

Rico is bad for bussing Epig and taking a town claim for it. [my note: argument devoid of vote progression context]

#1384

Rico is bad for wanting to solve his PoE, but not fine-tuning it in the process.

So no. Not only did you not overexplained it, but did not explain ONCE the vote progression context and why wolf-me did not lynch Thunal button at the tip of the finger.

Congrats, Scotty.

You are the manipulative.

We can't both be Maf, and in fact from your perspective (if town) we very well both might be town.





This take is not a town mindset
From my perspective, one of you is wolf.
Thunal33 wrote: Wed Aug 16, 2023 4:48 pm I think Scotty has a good point. Yes, we need to find a winning PoE of 2, but it also doesn't make a lot of sense to treat both PoE candidates equally when you know only one of them can be the wolf.
The PoE started at 3 people, with 3 phases available to solve them. It may seem unbecoming to just trial and error, but that already took place (with Syn). Wavering is losing the solve out of sight, logistically.

Regarding what you previously asked, I can try to find an answer tomorrow, if the phase hasn’t been hammered. I don’t think I can commit at midnight now.

3. The math solve is falcon/scotty, in f5/f3 respectively, I realise it's not pleasant for them to face such PoE logic, but that's the best thing to roll with, unless better alternatives can be argued.

4. Speaking of things argued, both falcon and Scotty show intent to push a lynch on me, and I don't think either has clarified (or proved willing to clarify) their wolf!me perspectives i.e. how I had Thunal's lynch at a push of a button and decided to hard kill my teammate instead. Word/tone-wise, falcon seems very unwilling to formulate proper arguments, whilst Scotty does so, but also mixes them up with "it's gotta be"es.

Anyway, one of them is town, so clearly misguided, the other could very well be wolf and resort to this as his lifeline. Tempted to believe the wolf would also come in thread and push the "why isn't Rico nightkilled that's so SuuuuS" narrative. In this f5, it's likely both of them could vote me, so it takes one more voter to change mind. In f3, I expect the same - keep me alive, bring it down to a vote swing to misselim me. Stay strong town.

For some reason I was miscontruing ‘one of them as town’ as tmi when he said we were both in the poe.

Rico is deadset on one of me and falcon being bad, but is making no effort to figure out which one of us it is. With 2 players actively gunning for his slot to bring him into the POE, his response is to get mildly defensive in why he shouldn’t be a part of the POE and just say one of us is ‘misguided’.

I think the towny mindset would be ‘who is being swayed/pocketed by the other and isn’t coming at this in a manipulative way?’

Re: The Emperor's Soul [D4]

Why did SVS get killed if Rico is wolf?
Just perused SVS’ iso and she was one of the biggest proponents of keeping rico alive, and was mostly peeved that I was even going there.

Yes, she was pretty universally townread, so duh, but why would a w!rico get rid of one of his chief cheerleaders that may not get there on him?

hmmmm

But who was more towny at that point for w!rico to kill? God, I’m just mostly curious who mafia would kill in F4 to take off the table.

What happens if we miss today? Are you actually available for a potential f3?
Minimally but yes.

I'm kinda panicking today bc i seriously think it could be rico and that means it isn't a locked solve like i originally thought and i'm like almost tempted to vote him now but my brain says falcon
In a vacuum my brain says falcon, but I just had a long historical look at falcon’s past games recently as both town and mafia and…I think he’s pretty towny on that meta. His engagement here as the game has gone along is >invested< and making >hot takes<
I tend to find that replicated by town falcon more than not. Especially him coming into thread yesterday bringing up why rico wasn’t killed. A thought that I was echoing as I was rereading end of day 2. W!falcon never HAS to make that bold of a suspicion. There were plenty of other avenues to go down.

Rico makes *sense* as both town and mafia. Why hasn’t he died? Well, there are far more vocal and outwardly town players left, ergo he could be town. But he is one of the most traditionally cleared slots left, so that point remains: why did Marmot > SVS die before him?

Despite his continued attempt to selfclear himself, it rings as manipulative instead of matter of fact. He has seemingly chosen to do some DD on thunal’s slot, determining thunal is *probably* not mafia, and has kept the same throughline from D3 of Syn/falcon/me which is a winning combo for him if he’s bad.

She’s already been rather adamant while SVS was alive. It sounds like she’s come to the conclusion today that it’s just you

That's a fair point, and then my solve is still Rico/Epi





I don't see you as Maf. If you are, this is such a well deserved win, I don't even care (well...a little bit)





I have some mild sus of Thunal, largely cuz' of what I just mentioned, and my Nut sus has to do w/ the fact she's still alive, seems to be hunting, and her back n' forth on my slot v Syn last RD




Ultimately, I think it's just Rico. If he was town, I don't even know why he'd enter the game and play when he did. I think he'd just stay AFK. What he did w/ Epi is literally the only play he had as Maf to go deep
ok this is the one that makes me turn my head at a 25* angle.

Here he now thinks it’s just Rico, but still suspects both nut and thunal. A whole lot of options open and ready for f3. If falcon is mafia and we misyeet rico today, f3 is falcon, thunal and…probably nut? If he can stir up enough doubt in those 2, he can point to that in f3 in case he needs to switch it up.

Okokok but
His nut suspicion here is the one that tilts me. “My nut sus has to do w/ the fact she’s still alive”
That’s the same reason he suspects rico. What was SVS? Chop liver? Mafia can’t kill everyone every night, so this is a bit of a soggypapertowel suspicion to use for multiple people. Like, you can’t keep people in your POE just because you think they should have been NKd by now

Then vote me and get this RD over with. All of this is just blahblahblah, cuz' you're wrong. I'm town





I'm not going round and round with this stuff for the next 24hrs, and this is tedious.
I haven’t made up my mind. Im still looking at certain things.

If falcon is mafia and we misyeet rico today, f3 is falcon, thunal and…probably nut? If he can stir up enough doubt in those 2, he can point to that in f3 in case he needs to switch it up.

Okokok but
His nut suspicion here is the one that tilts me. “My nut sus has to do w/ the fact she’s still alive”
That’s the same reason he suspects rico. What was SVS? Chop liver? Mafia can’t kill everyone every night, so this is a bit of a soggypapertowel suspicion to use for multiple people. Like, you can’t keep people in your POE just because you think they should have been NKd by now

3. The math solve is falcon/scotty, in f5/f3 respectively, I realise it's not pleasant for them to face such PoE logic, but that's the best thing to roll with, unless better alternatives can be argued.

4. Speaking of things argued, both falcon and Scotty show intent to push a lynch on me, and I don't think either has clarified (or proved willing to clarify) their wolf!me perspectives i.e. how I had Thunal's lynch at a push of a button and decided to hard kill my teammate instead. Word/tone-wise, falcon seems very unwilling to formulate proper arguments, whilst Scotty does so, but also mixes them up with "it's gotta be"es.

Anyway, one of them is town, so clearly misguided, the other could very well be wolf and resort to this as his lifeline. Tempted to believe the wolf would also come in thread and push the "why isn't Rico nightkilled that's so SuuuuS" narrative. In this f5, it's likely both of them could vote me, so it takes one more voter to change mind. In f3, I expect the same - keep me alive, bring it down to a vote swing to misselim me. Stay strong town.

I’ve explained the strategy multiple times, and it is a good strategy if he’s actually wolf, especially if falcon and I don’t call him on it. The confusion of such a legitimate bus in a 2-mafia game solidifies his town status.

I think falcon’s point of ‘why is rico not dying’ is actually even EASIER to explain away: he’s not a strong town voice. Let’s say rico IS town. It’s not like he’s changing the world being around as town. Sounds like a pretty benign person to keep around even to Fx

He doesn't have to be a strong town voice, if he's actually town, he's confirmed town w/ that vote IMO
‘Confirmed town’ is an opinion of course

Rico is at 14 posts.

:suspish:

Gonna be honest, this ploy is not helpful if Rico is town. Since it seems like he’s committed to this, he’s got 1 post left today, to vote. Based on his iso, it’ll be falcon. And if it’s not falcon, he’ll vote me tomorrow.

I don’t like the way this is going. But at least my mind is made up.

Falcon and I were the only ones even remotely tinfoiling rico yesterday, and if we yeet falcon today and he’s NOT mafia, I think the peripherals point to both of us being more right than not.

But I caution here. If we’re wrong with falcon, it’s gotta be rico, and I get the vibe that’s not how f3 is going to go, as I am a lock for f3..

If I flip, the game is going to D4





Bank on it
Maybe. Talk to more me about nutella, since you basically cherry picked her name out of Epi’s anti spew list (which I’m not reading into because he was on his way out when he made that), then asked the thread at large about his treatment of her. Like, did you actually read his iso more before coming back with ‘im fine with syn or nut’?

But in all honesty, if you’re in the POE, especially one that you yourself have proposed, it makes sense to be fine with dying. I mean obviously if you’re town, the order of the poe is probably more preferable but I haven’t seen you so much as offer to be deaded

It never makes sense for town to be OK dying, that's absurd.






You pinning your vote for me on my POE from one post, which I also say is too obvious, is pretty damn wolfy. Especially given you have Syn & I recently as your vote for this RD, but Syn isn't even in that POE of mine you seem to be hanging your hat on
