I can understand thinking it's weird or annoying because it robs them of information or just kind of anti-town cause it creates artificial dynamics (I kind of think all these things myself). But I read his posts as being paranoid about how it could be used against them later or as a cop out as mafia. Which first of all, didn't happen, because Scotty gave a read on Delta. And second of all, I don't know really. I'm trying to imagine being Delta in a new community and then this is happening. I kind of think Delta is way too smart to be like "maybe this is nefarious!" and kind of just see it as what it is, which is (imo unnecessary) nicety, which isn't really AI. But I'm spending way too many words on this compared to how little of a deal it actually is for me.

I also don't have any wolf reads. I guess Leetic's GTH, I'd say Delta and LC are falling towards the bottom of the list. But don't take that too seriously yet.

I mentioned in my post that it happened in the last game I played as well where the main read I was given from others was just 'you're funny so you can live :3' and a lot of fencesitting. For 5 days. So I think it's reasonable to not really want to deal with that again ;_;

It is kind of a thing of 'I dont want people witholding their reads' alongside 'I dont want people using it as a cop out' & I said it in my original post that I'd rather be voted and have people be vocal about how they're reading me because it's easier for me to work with, so I dont fully get how you read that and solely thought 'Delta's paranoia is wolfy' ?_?

I don’t solely think that. I solely think very few things.

However, Scotty was vocal about how they were reading you. Do you not agree?
And Roxy didn’t read anyone.
And these were the two people saying they wouldn’t vote you.

So I think your paranoia doesn’t really match what happened in this game.

But like, if you’re all eeek uwu about it from past experience, then werk.

I don't see how anyone could genuinely think that's what your post revealed, so why would a mafioso try that as a ploy... you know? It must be a prod. He's looking for reactions?

This is kind of something to hmm at.

But it's also not.

So here we are at D1.

Good luck and bye bye

Um.

Town: Leetic, Epig, Roxy, Pyxxy

Tell me about this brain fart.

I've taken a few months off

it's a closed setup

I read nook as saying "oh hey catch 2 maf and then I'll catch the other 2"

and I was like, that's seem v specific nooky boy, by also you're nook there's no way you say something that careless, so that am I missing, "hmmmm"

and then I realized I was being dumb about literally the meaning of poe, because it gets misused so much

This post should probably make Pyxxy town.

I don't want to explain my other town reads.

There's also a bunch of people who are fine to me at the moment. Like SVS, Sean and Thunal.

Delta wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2023 5:43 pm What do you make of my current reads? Do you disagree anywhere & is there anything you'd like me to get into?

No, I prefer to just wolf read you without thinking about it too much tbh.

We'll talk tomorrow! <3

But you can always talk me out of this read. Wink wink!

That too. =p

Unless your name is Roxy, I guess

From what I've seen, Roxy usually doesn't have takes or at least not ones she feels strong about on D1. And it seems like she generally has a distaste for D1. What I'm seeing here is pretty in line with what I expect. The open distaste for it and kind of mocking of the expectation that she should have something within the first 24 hours points towards town imo. It's not a hard playstyle to imitate as wolf, I'm sure, but the distaste seems real to me and is at the very least in line with what I expect of her as town.

Can always hope she gets some inklings further down the lines, and I'm sure she'll share if she does.

Delta wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2023 5:26 pm ?_? I'm a little spooked by the whole "I wont vote Delta because I've never played with him"

I'd much rather be voted if you think I'm mafia than get a D1 pass because you dont know me because I cant work with just being told 'you're new, you can live' & I dont really want to hear down the line 'I found Delta weird D1 but I gave him a pass :3' since I dont really want to have me being relatively new to the Syndicate being treated as a cop out for giving a read on me

Does that make sense? Idk I'm tired T_T

Why are you spooked by it? If you're town, take the freebee.

In addition, I believe Scotty has already told you that he does suspect you, even if he won't vote for you. So it's already proven that this custom isn't really being used as a cop out for giving reads.

The way you're rolling on the floor with your stomach exposed doesn't match your triangular shaped wolf nose, my darling.

By "growing on me", are you referring to my playstyle or alignment?

Playstyle. You're town. We clashed a great deal last time we played, mainly by you tunnelling me for my playstyle (as I recall it). But we won as town anyway!

Good night, friends.

@NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME You probably do need to try this game.

@Thunal33 Wink wink

Roxy wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2023 5:21 pm I guess I should tell everyone I won't be voting Delta bc I have not played with them only hosted.

Or leetic tho they say we played I cba'ed to remember it.

Or linear point bc new to me aficr.

See, Delta. This is a thing here. It's the wild, wolf west, but without the shooting.

Leetic is kind of growing on me. Kind of qwt. You get em, girl!

Delta wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2023 5:01 pm?_?

You've played with w!me twice, even if it's been a while since those games. Do you think there's any overlap between those games & how I'm playing here? Or is it more of a blank slate sort of thing since it's definitely been a while since both of those games

You have a wolfy face

I haven't read your posts this game bb

I shouldn't be here and post more nothings.

I trust there's enough good town players here to get something going.

Aw, hi! Long time, long con! <3

leetic wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2023 4:59 pmSo your read has changed from "don't know" to lean wolf. Please explain this development.

No and no.

I'm looking forward to caring about this when I come home like 2-3 hours before EoD and you all are heated angels.

Delta wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2023 4:55 pm Lean town on Dizzy for recent posting \o/ would need some reads to solidify that but I think they've been fine in the last few minutes & I dont think a wolf would mix up what I've posted when asked how they feel ab me so far? Like I'd assume a wolf would go 'oh I need to talk about this townie what have they said' rather than purely wing it off memory, esp since there's no real rush with things being so quiet.

& maybe a silly read but they've called me cute like thrice which they did to a diff person in the last town game I saw from them so connecting the dots there ideally NAI but fun to think about anyway

You're cute, even if you might be the tiniest bit wolfy. But honestly, wolfy might also just be your personality. But like a wolf puppy.

leetic wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2023 4:55 pmWell, you've thought about it enough to think they're "silly". But what was the point of you saying that Delta "Might just try to make something happen"? That's the vaguest way you could've worded that, so what exactly are you alleging?

I'm not alleging shit. He could be trying to make something happen as both town and wolf. In the moment, I meant it as could be trying to make something happen as town, as in pushing Scotty is not wolfy in itself even if I think Scotty is more likely to be town.

Yeah, I'm not going to engage with you critiquing the way I post or my word usage.

You will all know my opinions when I have them and feel the need to discuss them, in due time.

I'm trying to understand what you're actually saying. Do you have any actual thoughts about Delta's alignment or what you think they are trying to accomplish by going after Scotty? Your post gives me nothing but utter vagueness and noncommittal

I don't know. I haven't made my mind up about Delta, haven't read most of their posts, and haven't thought about it a lot.

I dont see how that's silly ?_? though I'd appreciate your stance on this \o/

Seeeelly

Go find an actual wolf if you're town. And don't give me that look, cause I'm not doing it until D2. Probably

Getting coaxed into actually playing. Chickplease

Hell of a lot better than a self-vote, but any reasons?

I have seen Epig lean forward and try as town. I have seen Epig lean backwards and not do anything as mafia.

I think it's too early to make any judgement about him here, really. But I might as well move my vote there.

You felt the need to comment on the Delta/Scotty interaction, yet don't actually have any actual thoughts on it. Lame

Fine.

I do have an educated guess on Scotty as town. I did read his posts, cause I was curious. I don't think he's wolfy at all. He's Scotty.

Delta, I don't have thoughts on. I haven't read most of his posts. I don't understand what he's trying to say about Scotty. Something something self awareness or entrance. Might just try to make something happen. I don't know. Very cute though.

Which means

[VOTE: Epignosis] aubergine

I only joined this game to see if my read accuracy is indeed improving.

So I intend to survive until D2 for once. =)

I won't be giving out GTH reads on command at this point. In any case, I haven't read most of the thread.

More generally, I won't confirm to your expectations or standards of play, which I have myself found perplexing in the past. It's more enjoyable for me at a distance as of now.

Although I do sympathize with any impatience and annoyance with the lack of love and effort this game and this town is showing. I appreciate you being punk about it.

But maybe if someone like Jack or Nook or Scotty starts trying a little bit, I might get ..aroused.

Or if Delta would do something else than being silly about Scotty. Silly boi <3

I see most everyone has bean slanking. Pretty chili

I also likely won't get inspired lentil later.
