isn't this

by definition

a POE

No, a POE assumes that I have everyone else as near-lock town. Hence, the finality of "Elimination".

#1002

Motel and Falcon are not teamed. this is based off of one interaction so obviously one of my best reads

#1003

PoE by definition assumes that mafia could not possibly exist outside of it. Otheriwse you might as well just call it "reads".

#1004

My PoE is the entire game minus JJJ and Dunya

#1005

I don't like anyone who townreads TSP so if someone wanted to tell me why I should townread TSP i would love that

#1006

Falcon is nearly out of the PoE too..

Yes announcing who i give the pr roles to in the thread is a great idea. If you are mafia. You're banned from commenting further on this subject.

I think you should give it to me

#1011

Ok, that does it for my AMA today, let's chop Dyson since we already have 1 vote frozen on him.

If JJJ Dyson Nanook and Axe can all agree on a chop target I will 100% back

Yah if they're mafia we probably always lose tbh, that's the correct play

#1014

Is falcon a super serious player I suppose I wanna ask that

Game was already won or lost, we're just going through the motions.

Mac's vote is still here, uncalled, essentially at the deadline. If the deadline passes and that's still the case, he's an abject mafia read. I don't care what came before, and I don't care when his bedtime is. That is terrible in every sense of the word, and I cannot fathom an appropriate explanation for it. I could easily be the Day 1 elimination right now, and that vote is essential for making it so. He has no excuse.

Nanook should know better. Whatever his read on me, in the past he has been inclined to wait with me so that either my alignment becomes clearer to him or I just get night killed. His vote is suboptimal, and in a way that he is normally attentive to. Bad look.

Dyson's suspicion of me looked okay once he explained it. I would still call him POE-caliber, and if he ends up the chop so be it. I would prefer Scotty right now.

I think NAA is town. Move Mac into the POE to compensate. I don't think I have room for Nanook, which means the POE is just going to have to be bigger than it's supposed to be. That's not a terribly surprising development, and it's primarily because of the following:

Town is playing this game very poorly. Just straight up -- it has been a brutal display. It doesn't even matter who is town and who isn't: nearly any iteration of this roster as it currently stands has not been playing a strong town game. There is next to zero cohesion. People are off in their own little worlds playing I Will Take My Ball And Go Solve By Myself. Communication is stunted and shallow. This is a loss waiting to happen if the direction doesn't improve sharply on Day 2. So long as I am the game's newest participant and one of its possible chops, I am not the best person to be taking on that mantle. If I die today I literally can't anyway.

This needn't dishearten any of you or demoralize. It's a harsh assessment, but awareness breeds change. Let's be better gang. Work as a team, or at least try. Use your post allotment. Be friendly without being sarcastic or an arse. Communicate. If I am around I pledge to try my best at doing my part. I acknowledge that I didn't use my own 50 posts as well as I could have: I wasted a few and didn't play with a ton of energy.

If today is a mafia flip, then this assessment can be softened. Well done. It won't be if it's me. If it's a town flip, look inward even if you didn't vote for it. Here's a parting POE pool:

Nanook
RondoDimBuckle
Dyson sphere
MacDougall
tutuu
lost monkey
falcon45ca
Scotty

The names are not ordered. It's one more name than it needs to be, even if one of them is about to be chopped. If I absolutely must drop one, make it tutuu. All of them need to be assessed with diligence, as do the people I didn't list. The game feels bad enough that I don't entirely trust the POE approach itself. It's less difficult than it should be to clear the bar, because the bar is too low.

I'm leaving my vote on Scotty.

My read is on your predecessor, not you.

[VOTE: falcon45ca] aubergine

#1035

I dont think your doom and gloom or your (by your standards) scathing condemnation of play today is very warranted tbh

#1036

Like to be clear i normally give you space to self resolve because I'm not particularly good at reading you early and you tend to self resolve by n2

But thats in games you start in

If you'd subbed into a null slot I'd likely be giving you that treatment. But you didn't, you subbed into a slot I think is mafia. I'm not going to abandon that just cause oh now you're here so I'm not allowed to vote Jay d1, thats dumb

Just in case I die in the night my legacy is: good luck have fun town dont take any of my reads too seriously

i think the wolves were powerless / afk during eod1 to let a wolf get chopped with 4 votes

so simplest explanation that its falcon who post capped himself and couldnt move/talk and monkey who was afk

lemme quote he stuff from scotty's iso i thought were w/w

#1050

Interactions of Scotty and Nanook

From Scotty

Scotty did not mention Nanook a single time in the game.

From Nanook

Spoiler: show

This appears to be Nanook's only mention of Scotty. By the numbers this functions as the slightest of town reads, based upon perceived lack of partners. I shrug.

~~~

Conclusion

I have no reason to remove Nanook from the POE pool. He can be Scotty's teammate.
