Not following your meaning -- are you referring to what happens if Epi goes today?

See latest post

Ok numbers game. Let’s say wolves are 100 percent sure Moto is the partner, it’s N2, there are 10 remaining. They kill Moto,
7v2
three dead a day, one mischop


It doesn’t change it right? Still two day kills?

Cause it’s another chop, right?

No you don’t

You have like half a dozen posts this game where you say something like “man if I were a wolf right now [I wouldn’t be doing this]”

If, when you say "range", you mean "the variance in strategic preference" -- that's narrow, and your assessment is more or less appropriate.

If you mean "how well he is capable of playing the game in that alignment" -- SLANDER

Kinda both. Just haven’t seen many wolves (capable enough to) navigate pressure in the way you have here and get the kills lined up.

I don’t think you don’t kill Moto just to taunt me. I’m tempted to think you do the same as me and kill Moto day 1. Maybe /that’s/ giving you too much credit

instinct says it’s not falcon

Don’t /think/ I put a vote on my Mason and then dip in such a scary fashion

Second most likely might have been me actually

Yeah but second most likely is pretty sharp

Win con etc

which, it was

I mean I said it was younger brother on Day 1

They win the game right here

Also yeah, he does if his partner is Lorab lol

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 11:37 pm LoRab is only mafia if she is with Long Con. While it's not conclusive, I think their interactions suggest otherwise. Maybe we just clear LoRab here too.

That would be unexpected and very welcome.

Does a Wolf JJJ try so hard to secure clears? Not in my estimation.

He has a good count

But whatever I had a separate win con to achieve

That one was partially on me

Or Day 2!

I just can’t vote Jay. If y’all had voted him out yesterday, fine.

Mafia DO NOT KILL ME I DO NOT COUNT FOR PARITY even if I’m the only person who seems interested in winning the game of mafia

Do we think we have two independents? If not he has to be mafia right?

I could also see him being one to do a gambit with Wilgy

I don't believe he is independent. I think he was trying to draw a kill instead of Kagemusha. If he is independent, then whatever. I'm not voting for him.

bonkers

sig wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 10:51 pm However, my view on Jay hasn’t changed his willingness to switch from lorab/falcon to Simon is a red flag especially given his other theory which we were keeping quite but no point now.

I quite literally had no clue what do with my vote. Everyone felt like a guess. Ask yourself if you'd have a clue what you're doing if you didn't have me to sus about.

(I suspected motobot was the most likely Kagemusha/Shingen by a decent margin and accordingly never went after him beyond generic paranoia that he might be teamed with his dad -- Simon didn't even vote at EOD and seemed unconcerned that his own destruction would ruin the game).

Sorry Jay this is a tunnel I’m not leaving quite yet

But for the sake of the experiment if it isn’t you or epi we need 3

Falcon, lorab, TSP, and LC

If we say Falcon and lorab aren’t on a team that leaves one mafia one civ and TSP/LC

I’m mainly thinking we have two mafia, but the chance that we could have three means we need three at least in POE.

I think a reread of Falcon and lorab are in order.

I’m also leaning towards the AS voters as a good place to start

Impossible to have 3, game would already be over

Man

Genuinely the last time I felt like this was the mafia sweep in S8 and as soon as SK led the chop on the town doctor I just knew that he was never town and it wasn’t going to matter and like I do feel the same way about Jay here but SK is an incredibly good wolf and supposedly Jay doesn’t have it in his range

It’s probably the solve.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 11:00 pm @TonyStarkPrime if Long Con is mafia, you're probably the one best-suited to tell me that. I am towning him right now, but I acknowledge I am taking leaps to do so. I feel like I have no choice.

Think he could be. Don’t care. We’re chopping the people we’re chopping.

Not like this negativity is exactly warranted but like

Somebody was paying enough attention to figure out that it still was younger brother

I cannot /believe/ I leave the thread for an hour and you all pile on the second most likely remaining BTSC member (behind of course younger brother)

you guys suck at mafia

I feel tied up in a double-not when I read this.

you’re the problem voter here

losing motivation. I gotta play organ

Only 3 person team I could buy I think, I guess maybe replace moto wirh simon and hard distance today

Lorab / Moto /epi

no

sorry not sorry

tbh that's a good read

vote: lorab I guess

i mean yeah I wrote what you were thinking but also

no, not mindmeld

But I agree with Jay, I just don't think it's prudent to consider those teams.

TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 11:40 pm gonna state the obvious and say if Jay is a wolf and is leading the game in posts by such a huge amount and then made a crazy gambit NK just to attempt to clear himself that’s very good play and far better than people typically think of his wolf range and I can’t be too upset about losing to it

I could see it, but it’s also based off who his partners are.

Who would make said crazy gambit with him?

My biggest issue with Jay right now is it seems like he’s more setting up votes rather than trying to solve.

Even in this phase he’s floated epi/Moto, is laying ground work for voting off me after the hard claim Ect.

I don’t think we should blindly clear off of mechish reasoning or delve too deep into WIFOM.

it's been a bit hard to solve particularly around the kids and a bunch of people who have had somewhat limited thread impact, especially now that we're taking epi and LC as clears (I think a bit? prematurely) and moving from there. Do I think Jay should be looking into epi/lc? yeah, I do. Epi's a very good player but he's not typically as mechanically minded. His strong preference would be to play the game straight and not worry about the situation. If his partner were, say, Moto -- well, there'd be no one on the team who'd have a strong inclination towards making "correct" kills.

also I was looking for a picture of that dude the other day cause my friend texted me to ask if I liked dune 2 and I couldn’t find it and I’m only now registering

I’m going on a late night walk wake me up when September ends

You do as the bad partner I guess I should stop talking about it

Well no you don’t cause of the last minute Abigail Sophia vote on you
