Let’s make this clear so you don’t waste your time: I will not be one of your miselims this game.

You will soon think I could be, of course. Even with the postcap I will likely not be able to keep up with the tryhards on this roster, and I will inevitably be perceived as low-hanging fruit. ‘Marmot will be an easy chop’ you’ll think. ‘Probably a flash wagon candidate.’

But you will be mistaken. You simply won’t be able to mis-elim me. Not this time. I will pull out the WIM when I need to. I have tricks up my sleeves. In fact, save me the energy and just treat this post as an inno child claim. I am for all your intents and purposes untouchable. If you decide you want me out of this game, you will need to spend a kill on me.

It is not your fault you randed wolf, and I am nothing if not sympathetic to an unfortunate rand, so I give you this warning now to help you plan around it. Everyone deserves a fair shot.

In the words of Descartes, ‘I post therefore I am town’. Or, in the words of a more modern philosopher, ‘U Kant touch this’.

Good luck, wolves. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Town

That's a pasta btw.

I have one read and that is Guillo town. I’ll explain if that is controversial, but I don’t expect it to be.

I saw exactly one post from guillo last night and my gut was leaning towards town as well. I don't remember what that post was

He said he was gonna destroy wolves and gets things done on his own. And I kind of buy it, seems unnecessary flowery as a mafia lie.

I've only played one game with Guillo, he was scum, and what you bring up feels entirely NAI for him.

That said, if I had to compare one game of scum meta to this game so far, I'd lean him being Town too. He was a bit...more shouty/aggro in his exaggerations in the scum game (Spiderverse I think), whereas here he is just sorta firmly stating his takes.

Maybe. But of the few posts I looked at that is the one I remember as hitting as genuine rather than fake. I could be wrong, but I’m also often not wrong in early impressions. I just talk myself out if them later and crumble.

I mean I'm basically agreeing with you just not for the reason you brought up (being unnecessarily flowery about destroying wolves etc).

I always get 100% of my early impressions correct because at some point in D1 I think everyone is towny for something and then scummy for something different. So at some point I'm correct on everyone!

Also, as someone who never reads the OP...did no one read the OP?

Like the first lines from Nanook demand and plead with you to read it. It has clearly stated from the beginning the whole 'choose mates or choose roles' thing.

No one is allowed to be derpcleared from this.

With Britain leaving the EU, how much space was created?

Exactly 1 GB.

Why does Britain like tea?

Because tea leaves.

An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman walk into a bar.

The Englishman wanted to go so they all had to leave.

I would like to think this is town too ngl.

I would like to think there's not a single alignment indicative part of it too ngl.

Of course I know Dyslexicon is European too. Who else?

I have determined to read both you and c4’s iso because i think i can read you both decently well

Probably will check marmot’s iso if he is playing as well

Don't bother. I just copypasta'd.

Justplayingitcool wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 4:23 am Waking up to 30 pages. Nice

This is why I stayed up late, so that I'd only wake up to 25 pages.

You also lose another town point for forcing a reciprocated read on me.


(Your point total is still in the black though.)

Master Radishes wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 4:10 am @112 how you feel about that homie

It is the correct take. Unfortunately it doesn't reciprocate too well and help me read you--but I'll still consider it a slight town+ for now because I feel you'd be more hedgey about it if you were wolfing.

You lose a town point for not asking me why I've reached my conclusion, and don't bother asking now I won't tell you.

@112 how you feel about that homie

I'm normally reluctant to give meta reads on CDCers, but 112 is likely just town here.

Thanks Alison.

I'd actually come across most of that before I gave up reading. Makes me think the most recent pages are not worth reading (which makes sense because D1 mid-round sucks).

okay, since we're drafting:
do we take daigle, pronger or gratton?

Whoever has most meat and potatoes.

Btw when I asked at the beginning of the game to name the top Syndicate wolf of 2021 without checking,


it's BoKnows.

I tried catching up but there's too much.

Someone round up the headlines for me.

No don't this just gets you vigged instead.

alright good night, go along with my plan if you have a big dick

Policy chop players with strong reps

???

Profit

For real though, alexa and nutella are doing nothing to dissuade my pre-game assumption that all or most of alexa/nutella/mac/alison are chosen wolves.

Let's get chopping.

Jack is actually co-leader with Mystery Mafia Pro tbh.

Falcon just scum irl tbh.

Falcon was scum in like every game so falcon?

Falcon has most wins total of anyone, but most were as town.

Actually someone without cheating tell me who won the most games in 2021 as a wolf.

Anyway, let's just policy chop, like, Mac or Alison.

If one flips wolf then the captain chose their team.

Ez clap.

Oxymoron

Go read her old GoC iso and tell me I'm wrong though.

(I hear that copypasting the previous year's winner in a championship game is the key to success.)


(But ffs all of Alison's posts are repetitive and unusable in a different context.)

alright good night, go along with my plan if you have a big dick

not copypasta, legit claim

Hard claiming Gambit Demon from Shadow Corridors. It's a little modified from the original version but still keeps the spirit of it. Here's the basic rundown.

- I offer a permanent ability to someone at night. abilities are: track, roleblock, silence (can't speak during next day), disenfranchise (can't vote during next day), give a post restriction, thieving (steal the abilities of who you voted for), protecting, bus driving

- If my offer is accepting, they gain the ability, but I can choose one of two options: either all night actions cast on me get redirected to them the next night OR all votes cast on me get redirected to them the next day.

- I fulfil my win condition if the number of people who I've bargained with exceed the number of people who haven't.

I'm gonna offer the same deal that I proposed in shadow corridors. Y'all come up with consensus town and I'll offer powers to them. In exchange I get a free win, you get free power roles, everyone profits.

FAQ
- how do we know you aren't tricking us into some horrible fate???
take it on trust, host read that they aren't going to have a 3P nuke half the game in GOC, whatever. In Shadow Corridors I proposed some tactics to guard against 3P betrayal, you can try those. Yes I know I was mafia that game but my tactics were legit.

- what if the mafia soupkills you???
imagine being a coward and soupkilling the gambit demon instead of trying to go deep and get the power offered to you instead

- how do we know you're not mafia pretending to be a 3P???
my plan is pretty clearly laid out to give me a free win while also helping the town out. I fully intend to have "auto" from post 1 and will be putting in close to 0 effort to solve or influence the game from this point on. It doesn't make much strategical sense for me to do that if I'm mafia, especially since it will become too obvious that I'm lying about being 3P as the game goes on.

- how do we know you won't side with the mafia after you win like the original Gambit Demon did???
Long Con sided with mafia because he was sentimental and wanted to root for the underdog. I am not sentimental. Siding with the mafia after the town gave me my win is pointless. I have already gotten my win; putting in extra effort is not only meaningless, it actively compromises my ability to make further deals in this vein when I roll 3P in the future. It's strictly suboptimal to do that, so you can be pretty sure I won't do it.

make sure to @ me if you want to tell me who your consensus town to bargain is or have any questions/comments, since I won't be reading the thread closely.
