basic mafia [END]

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

I mean they're pretty meh in general too

[NotAnAxehole]

if it's a helpful comparison, this is a disrespect read :P

Nono, a disrespect read is when you read someone as town because they're too bad to do something as mafia.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Anyways scumreading me for sheeping in general and sheeping star specifically is a pretty meh tier read

And "you aren't playing" and "you're better than this" reads are also nothing pretty meh lol

Alison probably wolf then

Who started it today

[NotAnAxehole]

I mean, it goes without saying I would yeet TSP in a heartbeat.

[EnderWiggin]

I do hate both of these wagons-- just looked at the votes for the first time.
It's pretty gross

That's what I said earlier. Dizzy has >rand to be wolf compared to Alison, but I'd like to keep them both around.

But I'd like to keep Alison around more than both.

[EnderWiggin]

Assuming Alison is town, which I'm willing to hear. I would probably kill Mac or EnderWiggin today.

Okay? Explain that one hoss.

Assuming Alison is town, which I'm willing to hear. I would probably kill Mac or EnderWiggin today.

The Ender post about me today was a little pingy....where he was like "I protected you D1 so now what?"--- when I was the top poster. It makes little sense.

Your number of posts means shit.

Your Day one presence was nice, I appreciated that.

Your day two? Until you got called out you'd had literally no impact or interaction worth thinking about.

That gives you +WolfEquity

If we're both town, looking to interact more gives us more chance to find each other, and the game can be solved more easily the more I can find town. I need you to work with me to make sure you're town.

Therefore I need you to provide content on Day 2.

No, I just don't like reading. I forgot I signed up for this game, and then forgot about the game again, and now I'm wondering if I can just play the game with no motivation, basically no reading, and still not be a total donkey who fucks me team over. It's been going so-so in the past. =p

Add me, there's a 10/13 chance I'm town, is pretty good.

I once joined a game on a smurf and exclusively used random.org, ignored every post in the game and people thought I was a god. It's a good place to start if you don't want to read.

It's a thing that probably can be faked, but ime town says this more than scum do. Problem is, I've never seen Omega actually post lol, but that is based off of one game only. Don't know what the case is on her is, and if it's solid/others have more experience here, then ignore me maybe.

I am happy Dizzy is here!!❤ Thank you for asking.

Buddies 4 lyf <3

I don't know who to vote.

Does anyone have a good argument?

Probably Dyslexicon or Esooa.

Esooa knows me and my thought processes playing mafia the best, Dyslexicon has the highest hitrate in catching me when I'm a wolf

Literally when I thought I'd go read your ISO cause I've convinced myself I can actually read you. =p

D1 is almost over, I can't wait for you forever. It isn't a strong scumread, but if you aren't contributing much, you can't complain about people forming scumreads on you based on the little you have contributed. Now that you're actually contributing, I will reassess.

Actually I can. It's not like I expect to be town read, but nothing I had posted warrants any sort of read on me from you imo. I don't understand your reason for saying it's scummy either.

I don't know who to vote.

Does anyone have a good argument?

See Luckbox's case on Axe. Check out the first page or two of Axe's ISO in AtLA and compare it to Axe's ISO here.

I'm definitely not reading other games. But I'll check the case after Alison ISO

I don't know who to vote.

Does anyone have a good argument?

TonyStark voted me, and done NOTHING TOWNLY! so i omgus vote here

You make a compelling argument. I will strongly consider supporting my buddy's omgus.

Read Alison's ISO. Thought she was wolf when I first started to read, got more unsure the more I read (mostly cause it looks like she does believe in her scum read on Omega). But I think she still could be mafia here. She can fake that attitude of having a strong scum read.

by the way does anyone know how luckbox feels about playing wolf in general? Do they like playing it, dislike playing it? Do they do well as wolf?

Alison asks this after uttering strong suspicion on Lucky. But Lucky literally said in his first post that he wanted to play as scum, so the question about if he likes it or not reads disingenuous. (And I'm pretty sure Alison later reference that post)

I thought you were pretending to have put me on ignore because of the blacklist thing, which is why you were faking being unable to see my posts. That would be outing because JJJ disabled the ignore function a while back.

I don't feel like this is a real thought.

No I'm doing all the right things. I'm interacting with everyone, thinking about players, making free flowing posts.

But what are you doing?

This might be the most individually scummy post I've seen in the thread so far. It's like they see pretending to be town as a list of checkboxes to tick off and are miffed that Seanzie isn't giving them credit for their performance.

Honestly, I agree with this, surface level maybe, but the post in reference does feel real bad. Wouldn't be surprised at all if it's actually Alison/Lucky here.

Dizzy avoiding the thread is >rand mafia cmv

I've seen Dizzy afk as villa but he tends to be a lot more upfront about it. He'll be like "I'm not playing this game because I don't have the time and energy and interest. I'll come back when there's less people and try to give a solve". The weird "I'm picking someone random to sheep" thing wasn't great because it's like "I'm not playing this game but actually I am", it's like a paper facade of playing that I don't think he usually bothers with as town. Also doesn't help that the person he picked to sheep was Lunchbox.

This is some real convoluted shit lol. I don't see how I was not upfront about being afk/low effort, or even what there is to read into that if you think I wasn't. Also "paper facade" lol. I also didn't pick Lucky to sheep, I picked Omega.

---

These are some things I find scummy in Alison's ISO.

It's not impossible for her to be town, but right now well above > mafia for me.

Thoughts?

@Dyslexicon is Seanzie town?

No idea. Haven't read his posts. His scum read of me is probably NAI, begrudgingly.

But we should probably vote Alison here or else I'll get killed and you'll never do it.

[VOTE: Alison] aubergine

Yeah, Sean might be town tbh. But ask me later maybe

I didn't want to say it because I felt like it would increase my chances of being yeeted, but now that DOO wagon is up there, we can all acknowledge this.

What do you mean by this?

Belzy either town or decided to really do something this game. Probably just town tbh

Me desperately looking for Axe's case on Lucky when it was the other way around rip

Well, I felt so pressured by duckbox and seanzie, you know?

But do you agree with the read or not?

Sure, I wouldn't bother reading the entire game, skimming one page of his ISO though would be quite illuminating. He was solving/interacting a LOT with people D1 of AtLA. Here he has done essentially no solving. He has a high thread presence here, but most of it has been not related to the game or just bad.

As far as I can tell, Lucky's case on Axe is pretty much exactly this. I don't know Axe, and in general I think it's pretty dangerous to compare one specific game to another for reads. But if you feel strongly about it, I'm not going to disagree. Is it more than just one game?

For me, I think Alison has a pretty good chance of being mafia here. Thoughts on this?

that's a funny angleshoot, falcon can be town

Conclusion good probably. Angleshoots are rip.

Oh no, I secretly hate when people follow me. I'd rather be right and not followed than wrong and followed. But also, I may just be right. This can happen. This has happened before.

i think your tone with dizzy was pretty wack so I'm voting for the wack

I don't think belzy being whack is belzy being scum, especially on this site. You're also probably town for towning Falcon, and Falcon probably town.

Belzy either town or decided to really do something this game. Probably just town tbh

do something is one way of putting it

What I mean is that I don't think Belzy is a risk taker as scum in the sense that she would deliberately "act weird" as scum, especially on a site where many don't know her well. She's a good scum player and can fake content and tone and all those things, but the sort of "weeeee lolol" seems out of character for her as scum as far as my experience go, and I do have a lot of experience with Belzy. Take it for what it's worth, though I not sure what it's worth lol, but that be my take

Basen on me reading not a whole lot, but trying to get an overview:

Some maybe town reads:
Belzy
Syn
Falcon
Sean

Honestly my town reads aren't really that strong

Suss:
Alison

If Alison is mafia, check Lucky's end of their interaction. I think Alison's interaction with Lucky is definitely teammate compatible.

Plz no fight, you're probably both town. And antagonising no good. Now kiss

why are your town reads only the people who have posted since you entered the thread

Because literally that is what I have read lol
I've explained my town reads except maybe Sean.
Belzy for her tone and kind of off beat play which seems deliberate, and I don't think she deliberately do it as mafia, I'll think she'll try to play it more straight.
Falcon for the same reason you did.
You because you towned Falcon for it, which I don't think you need to as mafia.
Sean because he seemed to be upset about Belzy not contributing. Not too sure about this read though.

Belzy and Dizzy feel villagery fwiw-- Dizzy moreso by a wide margin but killing Belzy anytime soon also seems bad.

I'm breaking, but probably back before EoD

Dizzy/DOO team looks super compatible here. DOO voteparked on me despite having me as a townread, and Dizzy tried to push me after I came out with scumreads on both him and DOO. The case that Dizzy's giving is bad too. I asked if Luck often likes to play wolf because his first post gave me a "hello fellow townies" feeling and I was seeing if it was facetious. The only other read he has an issue with is a bald "that's not a real thought", and an OMGUS against my suspicion on him.

@NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME what's with the naked vote btw?

How does this relevant? My point is you asked if he liked playing as scum when he had already given the answer in thread. Was your accusation that he might've lied?

What is problematic about this? Honest question. This is something I've seen you do as scum before, or rather, it gave me that same feeling.

I don't think it's an OMGUS. I legit didn't understand your point in your read on me. And I don't think it would warrant you to have me on your chop list at all.

Fuck my colors

Also Syn made a good point about Falcon probably being town for the angleshoot.

Also Syn angleshooting Falcon town probably makes him town too.

This is like exactly what I said too lol

Belzy and Dizzy feel villagery fwiw-- Dizzy moreso by a wide margin but killing Belzy anytime soon also seems bad.

How's Dizzy town at all?

The frustration a bit upthread seems real.

Dizzy fakes emotion all the time as wolf.

What frustration to both of you? I'm like not frustrated at all?

Well I'll vote DoO to save Alison if needed but would prefer looking elsewhere. And think Alison would be a really bad kill.

Maybe not Alison/Lucky then, after I pointed that out and this comes out. Unless 200 iq

My accusation was that his "I sure hope I randed mafia, aw shucks I didn't!" felt fake. Not many people like randing mafia, so doing a quick fact check on whether this is something he'd say is pretty sensible. Once he clarified his meta a little more with no dissent from the people who know him, I moved on.

Saying "that's not a real thought" isn't problematic by itself; I say it all the time. It's not a particularly convincing aspect of a case, though, and I'm having trouble understanding why you'd grow such a strong conviction of me as scum based on it. What exactly "isn't real" about that thought?

My point is simple. When I see you afk as town you just straight up admit it and brazenly slank because you have nothing to hide. Here you seem to be taking a more wishy washy approach, where you say you're slanking, but also make an excuse to sheep whoever you want with zero accountability.

Alright. Do you expect him or players in general to lie about really obvious things as that as mafia though? Cause that seems kind of dumb to me.

First of all, you don't know my conviction. Again, it's kind of similar to the above point. From what I gathered, you accused (and retracted) Axe of pretending to have put you on ignore, making a bold faced and totally unnecessary lie. Why would mafia make such a lie? Maybe there's something between you two that I don't know about, but that just seems like a made up worry to me.

I really don't see the problem or the difference. How is this an issue? What should I have telegraphed? I was straight up slanking, not knowing if I'd get motivation or not.

Also, do you actually expect that if I'm teamed with Omega, the thing I do is to chainsaw the hell out of you? Cause I don't think I would ever do that.

I fully admit to not having read the whole thread and not having much context though.

1) Alright, I hear you.

2) And I hear this.

But I still think these seems like weird concerns. Like you're overplaying that you "don't know" when in fact, you do know. It's the same feeling I got when you "didn't know" if me and Invictius had played together. Issue being, that it's like you're laying on an extra layer of paranoia/not knowing, and this is what pings me.

3) How is that any different from my normal early slanking?
And why do you correlate me and Omega here?
Literally, I read your ISO and I think you can be mafia. Why does it have to have anything to do with Omega?

@Luckbox Inc Can you say what your town read on Alison consists of? You said this was your second game with her, and you mis-chopped her last game and seemed worried about that. Is there more? Sorry if I missed it/haven't read.

To the people who town read Alison, why do you town read Alison? I'd like to hear it. And sorry if it's already stated.

No, I only know Axe from that one game, but like... I think you're not taking into consideration how bad Axe's play is this game. Like, this isn't a meta read, this is a "this slot is active, in thread, but not solving, and not contributing positively to the gamestate" read, coupled with AtLA meta to further strengthen the read.

Also, from the little I know about them, Axe is an extremely anti-team anti-town player, so if they are town, I doubt they would ever be killed by wolves, and I would never want them to be in an FX, so while I know it is early, they need to be yeeted eventually anyways. Strong scum read + getting rid of a slot that is detrimental to town if we're wrong = good wagon.

I will look through Alison's ISO, but I feel fine about Alison right now.

I'm not, cause I haven't read their posts, other than when I've been around. They said they agreed with me, don't know if good or bad. I don't really have an opinion there, and I doubt I'll get it before EoD.

I feel I've made my thoughts on Alison clear, but I also feel the need to say that I'm not actually very clear on the read. I feel like I'm missing a lot of context (which obviously I am). The things I noticed in her ISO was instances where it feels like she's stating train of thoughts that doesn't seem like real concerns to me. I don't know if I can articulate it well, but it's like a "I need to show that I don't know anyone's alignment" kind of feel. I'm not actually married to that read though, as I may be too harsh/stern against her, cause if she is mafia, that's going to be a problem. Also, she seemed better in her back and forth with Omega, better conviction.

Well, you should before EoD. They are a much better vote than Alison IMO.

Mebbe

I'd like to kill in luckbox/nanook/dizzy/tsp? today?

Hi, we haven't played before afaik. What's your thoughts on me?

I'd like to kill in luckbox/nanook/dizzy/tsp? today?

Hi, we haven't played before afaik. What's your thoughts on me?

I don't think you've done anything super towny, and I don't think Esooa voted you for no reason; I don't think you've done anything very mafia-indicative but you're just not up to the bar I'd expect and I have a good deal of strong/decent town reads and you're not one.

Do I know you? What do you expect from me? What does Esooa have to do with your read on me? She also doesn't know me well at all (don't recall if we've even played together)

This is a most curious reply to me.

I know of you, I know you're a capable player, Esooa feels like checked out town (this is thin), I'm not sheeping her read on there but it's a confirmation that she doesn't think what you've posted has been that strong, I would rather kill people who are either more likely mafia or lower impact but you're not off the table for me like everyone else not in my list is at this point.

Do I know you by another name?
Esooa voted me back when I had two posts total and not really started playing. Why is that vote relevant to you?

Cfd who?

Cfd who?

No

[VOTE: Lu Ren] aubergine

[VOTE: Lu Ren] aubergine

I get that the esooa stuff is odd but have you read their iso?

I'm doing it right now

Multiple people have expressed concerned with Axe, but you aren't willing to look there, but when you want a CFD away from DoO, you are willing to look at Lu?

Can you help me make sense of this? What is the difference between Axe and Lu here?

Lu justifying their take on me through Esooa gives me the nopes.

I haven't had the nopes with Axe. But again, you're right, haven't even considered them that much. To be blunt, don't think they will be a huge problem if mafia.

We've played once before and I know of you somewhat from reputation beyond that.

About Esooa: that's fair, it's not really a huge factor in my thoughts and I didn't remember where it was, I should have checked before including it in reasons why you aren't specifically towny in any respect unlike everybody except the four people I named, either way it doesn't matter, either way setting this day up as alison/doo is exactly what mafia's been hoping for and is very lazy and I would really rather not kill either of them because I think they're both pretty clearly town. Thoughts?

I don't think either is clearly town. Right now, I'm not really stressing that much. Both a mafia and town chop D1 can be good. I don't have a town read (or any read really) on the other people you mention though.

I am still 100% fine with a dyslexicon vote btw

What'd you find particularly wolfy about nook? He's in my POE for gamestate reasons, but his posts have not been super standout wolfy to me.

being boring and anchoring his reads to someone who's probably town but is being scumread by a lot of people and doesn't have good reads, has basically been the opposite of mac for someone with the same sort of playstyle where mac is townsiding very hard nook is mafiasiding very hard

it's yawn it perpetuates the unhealthy general tendencies in the town and there's nothing good about it whatsoever and he should know better

Kinda agree but also Nanook plays very lazy town anyway. I honestly have to solve Nanook by PoE most of the time.

Does anyone have a good argument?

Probably Dyslexicon or Esooa.

Esooa knows me and my thought processes playing mafia the best, Dyslexicon has the highest hitrate in catching me when I'm a wolf

Literally when I thought I'd go read your ISO cause I've convinced myself I can actually read you. =p

D1 is almost over, I can't wait for you forever. It isn't a strong scumread, but if you aren't contributing much, you can't complain about people forming scumreads on you based on the little you have contributed. Now that you're actually contributing, I will reassess.

Actually I can. It's not like I expect to be town read, but nothing I had posted warrants any sort of read on me from you imo. I don't understand your reason for saying it's scummy either.

I don't know who to vote.

Does anyone have a good argument?

See Luckbox's case on Axe. Check out the first page or two of Axe's ISO in AtLA and compare it to Axe's ISO here.

I'm definitely not reading other games. But I'll check the case after Alison ISO

I don't know who to vote.

Does anyone have a good argument?

TonyStark voted me, and done NOTHING TOWNLY! so i omgus vote here

You make a compelling argument. I will strongly consider supporting my buddy's omgus.

Read Alison's ISO. Thought she was wolf when I first started to read, got more unsure the more I read (mostly cause it looks like she does believe in her scum read on Omega). But I think she still could be mafia here. She can fake that attitude of having a strong scum read.

by the way does anyone know how luckbox feels about playing wolf in general? Do they like playing it, dislike playing it? Do they do well as wolf?

Alison asks this after uttering strong suspicion on Lucky. But Lucky literally said in his first post that he wanted to play as scum, so the question about if he likes it or not reads disingenuous. (And I'm pretty sure Alison later reference that post)

I thought you were pretending to have put me on ignore because of the blacklist thing, which is why you were faking being unable to see my posts. That would be outing because JJJ disabled the ignore function a while back.

I don't feel like this is a real thought.

No I'm doing all the right things. I'm interacting with everyone, thinking about players, making free flowing posts.

But what are you doing?

This might be the most individually scummy post I've seen in the thread so far. It's like they see pretending to be town as a list of checkboxes to tick off and are miffed that Seanzie isn't giving them credit for their performance.

Honestly, I agree with this, surface level maybe, but the post in reference does feel real bad. Wouldn't be surprised at all if it's actually Alison/Lucky here.

Dizzy avoiding the thread is >rand mafia cmv

I've seen Dizzy afk as villa but he tends to be a lot more upfront about it. He'll be like "I'm not playing this game because I don't have the time and energy and interest. I'll come back when there's less people and try to give a solve". The weird "I'm picking someone random to sheep" thing wasn't great because it's like "I'm not playing this game but actually I am", it's like a paper facade of playing that I don't think he usually bothers with as town. Also doesn't help that the person he picked to sheep was Lunchbox.

This is some real convoluted shit lol. I don't see how I was not upfront about being afk/low effort, or even what there is to read into that if you think I wasn't. Also "paper facade" lol. I also didn't pick Lucky to sheep, I picked Omega.

---

These are some things I find scummy in Alison's ISO.

It's not impossible for her to be town, but right now well above > mafia for me.

Thoughts?

@Dyslexicon is Seanzie town?

No idea. Haven't read his posts. His scum read of me is probably NAI, begrudgingly.

But we should probably vote Alison here or else I'll get killed and you'll never do it.

[VOTE: Alison] aubergine

Yeah, Sean might be town tbh. But ask me later maybe

I didn't want to say it because I felt like it would increase my chances of being yeeted, but now that DOO wagon is up there, we can all acknowledge this.

What do you mean by this?

Belzy either town or decided to really do something this game. Probably just town tbh

Me desperately looking for Axe's case on Lucky when it was the other way around rip

Well, I felt so pressured by duckbox and seanzie, you know?

But do you agree with the read or not?

Sure, I wouldn't bother reading the entire game, skimming one page of his ISO though would be quite illuminating. He was solving/interacting a LOT with people D1 of AtLA. Here he has done essentially no solving. He has a high thread presence here, but most of it has been not related to the game or just bad.

As far as I can tell, Lucky's case on Axe is pretty much exactly this. I don't know Axe, and in general I think it's pretty dangerous to compare one specific game to another for reads. But if you feel strongly about it, I'm not going to disagree. Is it more than just one game?

For me, I think Alison has a pretty good chance of being mafia here. Thoughts on this?

that's a funny angleshoot, falcon can be town

Conclusion good probably. Angleshoots are rip.

Oh no, I secretly hate when people follow me. I'd rather be right and not followed than wrong and followed. But also, I may just be right. This can happen. This has happened before.

i think your tone with dizzy was pretty wack so I'm voting for the wack

I don't think belzy being whack is belzy being scum, especially on this site. You're also probably town for towning Falcon, and Falcon probably town.

Belzy either town or decided to really do something this game. Probably just town tbh

do something is one way of putting it

What I mean is that I don't think Belzy is a risk taker as scum in the sense that she would deliberately "act weird" as scum, especially on a site where many don't know her well. She's a good scum player and can fake content and tone and all those things, but the sort of "weeeee lolol" seems out of character for her as scum as far as my experience go, and I do have a lot of experience with Belzy. Take it for what it's worth, though I not sure what it's worth lol, but that be my take

Basen on me reading not a whole lot, but trying to get an overview:

Some maybe town reads:
Belzy
Syn
Falcon
Sean

Honestly my town reads aren't really that strong

Suss:
Alison

If Alison is mafia, check Lucky's end of their interaction. I think Alison's interaction with Lucky is definitely teammate compatible.

Plz no fight, you're probably both town. And antagonising no good. Now kiss

why are your town reads only the people who have posted since you entered the thread

Because literally that is what I have read lol
I've explained my town reads except maybe Sean.
Belzy for her tone and kind of off beat play which seems deliberate, and I don't think she deliberately do it as mafia, I'll think she'll try to play it more straight.
Falcon for the same reason you did.
You because you towned Falcon for it, which I don't think you need to as mafia.
Sean because he seemed to be upset about Belzy not contributing. Not too sure about this read though.

Belzy and Dizzy feel villagery fwiw-- Dizzy moreso by a wide margin but killing Belzy anytime soon also seems bad.

I'm breaking, but probably back before EoD

Dizzy/DOO team looks super compatible here. DOO voteparked on me despite having me as a townread, and Dizzy tried to push me after I came out with scumreads on both him and DOO. The case that Dizzy's giving is bad too. I asked if Luck often likes to play wolf because his first post gave me a "hello fellow townies" feeling and I was seeing if it was facetious. The only other read he has an issue with is a bald "that's not a real thought", and an OMGUS against my suspicion on him.

@NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME what's with the naked vote btw?

How does this relevant? My point is you asked if he liked playing as scum when he had already given the answer in thread. Was your accusation that he might've lied?

What is problematic about this? Honest question. This is something I've seen you do as scum before, or rather, it gave me that same feeling.

I don't think it's an OMGUS. I legit didn't understand your point in your read on me. And I don't think it would warrant you to have me on your chop list at all.

Fuck my colors

Also Syn made a good point about Falcon probably being town for the angleshoot.

Also Syn angleshooting Falcon town probably makes him town too.

This is like exactly what I said too lol

How's Dizzy town at all?

The frustration a bit upthread seems real.

Dizzy fakes emotion all the time as wolf.

What frustration to both of you? I'm like not frustrated at all?

Well I'll vote DoO to save Alison if needed but would prefer looking elsewhere. And think Alison would be a really bad kill.

Maybe not Alison/Lucky then, after I pointed that out and this comes out. Unless 200 iq

My accusation was that his "I sure hope I randed mafia, aw shucks I didn't!" felt fake. Not many people like randing mafia, so doing a quick fact check on whether this is something he'd say is pretty sensible. Once he clarified his meta a little more with no dissent from the people who know him, I moved on.

Saying "that's not a real thought" isn't problematic by itself; I say it all the time. It's not a particularly convincing aspect of a case, though, and I'm having trouble understanding why you'd grow such a strong conviction of me as scum based on it. What exactly "isn't real" about that thought?

My point is simple. When I see you afk as town you just straight up admit it and brazenly slank because you have nothing to hide. Here you seem to be taking a more wishy washy approach, where you say you're slanking, but also make an excuse to sheep whoever you want with zero accountability.

Alright. Do you expect him or players in general to lie about really obvious things as that as mafia though? Cause that seems kind of dumb to me.

First of all, you don't know my conviction. Again, it's kind of similar to the above point. From what I gathered, you accused (and retracted) Axe of pretending to have put you on ignore, making a bold faced and totally unnecessary lie. Why would mafia make such a lie? Maybe there's something between you two that I don't know about, but that just seems like a made up worry to me.

I really don't see the problem or the difference. How is this an issue? What should I have telegraphed? I was straight up slanking, not knowing if I'd get motivation or not.

Also, do you actually expect that if I'm teamed with Omega, the thing I do is to chainsaw the hell out of you? Cause I don't think I would ever do that.

I fully admit to not having read the whole thread and not having much context though.

1) Alright, I hear you.

2) And I hear this.

But I still think these seems like weird concerns. Like you're overplaying that you "don't know" when in fact, you do know. It's the same feeling I got when you "didn't know" if me and Invictius had played together. Issue being, that it's like you're laying on an extra layer of paranoia/not knowing, and this is what pings me.

3) How is that any different from my normal early slanking?
And why do you correlate me and Omega here?
Literally, I read your ISO and I think you can be mafia. Why does it have to have anything to do with Omega?

@Luckbox Inc Can you say what your town read on Alison consists of? You said this was your second game with her, and you mis-chopped her last game and seemed worried about that. Is there more? Sorry if I missed it/haven't read.

To the people who town read Alison, why do you town read Alison? I'd like to hear it. And sorry if it's already stated.

No, I only know Axe from that one game, but like... I think you're not taking into consideration how bad Axe's play is this game. Like, this isn't a meta read, this is a "this slot is active, in thread, but not solving, and not contributing positively to the gamestate" read, coupled with AtLA meta to further strengthen the read.

Also, from the little I know about them, Axe is an extremely anti-team anti-town player, so if they are town, I doubt they would ever be killed by wolves, and I would never want them to be in an FX, so while I know it is early, they need to be yeeted eventually anyways. Strong scum read + getting rid of a slot that is detrimental to town if we're wrong = good wagon.

I will look through Alison's ISO, but I feel fine about Alison right now.

I'm not, cause I haven't read their posts, other than when I've been around. They said they agreed with me, don't know if good or bad. I don't really have an opinion there, and I doubt I'll get it before EoD.

I feel I've made my thoughts on Alison clear, but I also feel the need to say that I'm not actually very clear on the read. I feel like I'm missing a lot of context (which obviously I am). The things I noticed in her ISO was instances where it feels like she's stating train of thoughts that doesn't seem like real concerns to me. I don't know if I can articulate it well, but it's like a "I need to show that I don't know anyone's alignment" kind of feel. I'm not actually married to that read though, as I may be too harsh/stern against her, cause if she is mafia, that's going to be a problem. Also, she seemed better in her back and forth with Omega, better conviction.

Well, you should before EoD. They are a much better vote than Alison IMO.

Mebbe

I'd like to kill in luckbox/nanook/dizzy/tsp? today?

Hi, we haven't played before afaik. What's your thoughts on me?

I'd like to kill in luckbox/nanook/dizzy/tsp? today?

Hi, we haven't played before afaik. What's your thoughts on me?

I don't think you've done anything super towny, and I don't think Esooa voted you for no reason; I don't think you've done anything very mafia-indicative but you're just not up to the bar I'd expect and I have a good deal of strong/decent town reads and you're not one.

Do I know you? What do you expect from me? What does Esooa have to do with your read on me? She also doesn't know me well at all (don't recall if we've even played together)

This is a most curious reply to me.

I know of you, I know you're a capable player, Esooa feels like checked out town (this is thin), I'm not sheeping her read on there but it's a confirmation that she doesn't think what you've posted has been that strong, I would rather kill people who are either more likely mafia or lower impact but you're not off the table for me like everyone else not in my list is at this point.

Do I know you by another name?
Esooa voted me back when I had two posts total and not really started playing. Why is that vote relevant to you?

Cfd who?

Cfd who?

falcon

No

[VOTE: Lu Ren] aubergine

[VOTE: Lu Ren] aubergine

I get that the esooa stuff is odd but have you read their iso?

I'm doing it right now

Multiple people have expressed concerned with Axe, but you aren't willing to look there, but when you want a CFD away from DoO, you are willing to look at Lu?

Can you help me make sense of this? What is the difference between Axe and Lu here?

Lu justifying their take on me through Esooa gives me the nopes.

I haven't had the nopes with Axe. But again, you're right, haven't even considered them that much. To be blunt, don't think they will be a huge problem if mafia.

We've played once before and I know of you somewhat from reputation beyond that.

About Esooa: that's fair, it's not really a huge factor in my thoughts and I didn't remember where it was, I should have checked before including it in reasons why you aren't specifically towny in any respect unlike everybody except the four people I named, either way it doesn't matter, either way setting this day up as alison/doo is exactly what mafia's been hoping for and is very lazy and I would really rather not kill either of them because I think they're both pretty clearly town. Thoughts?

I don't think either is clearly town. Right now, I'm not really stressing that much. Both a mafia and town chop D1 can be good. I don't have a town read (or any read really) on the other people you mention though.

I am still 100% fine with a dyslexicon vote btw

I'll NK you!

if people move to dyslexicon I will but I don't think that's happening

Literally why tho. 2 minutes go!

atm i'm looking at something like 3 of [tsp/nanook/dizzy/sean/luck/bo]

This isn't a bad PoE tbh. I need re work out my 6 PoE

[EnderWiggin]

I don't actually care if they know me or not they just made a read thats weird to make if they don't know me lol

Although tbf its also a bad read if they do know me, so

it's literally not a read it's "you're barely playing and everything you've done is wolf-sided so i would feel exactly 0 bad for miseliminating you"

Yup. It's Nanook Indicative. But he's also town sometimes too.

[EnderWiggin]

"You're barely playing" reads are pretty meh from someone with a dozen fewer posts lol

I'd say it's more that you're barely impacting the game

[EnderWiggin]

if it's a helpful comparison, this is a disrespect read :P

Nono, a disrespect read is when you read someone as town because they're too bad to do something as mafia.

I need to find a way to disrespect read you...

[EnderWiggin]

I mean, it goes without saying I would yeet TSP in a heartbeat.

There are things I agree with you on.

This is one of them.

[EnderWiggin]

The problem is yeeting TSP is literally a "This person is irrelevant to town so we yeet them cause we can."

Which I can get behind.

But to call it a scumread is weak.

Almost town:

Seanzie

I have Seanzie in his own category because I think there's probably 2 mafia between alison, seanzie, mac, enderwagon... But Seanzie independently has played well.

That leaves me with a PoE of 6.5 which is not good enough

@NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME @MacDougall @Alison Mostly interested in your thoughts at the moment.

How has Seanzie played well? He seemed townie earlier but today he has had no depth to his solving and has been quite scummy.

[Lu Ren]

seanzie has been openwolfing i think

Yes, I don't really want to commit but Luck's been trending up and Sean's not looking great.

Do you think Nanook's response to my vote there-- basically building the reason I want to kill him into something it's not and then saying it's not actually a thing at all anyway is alignment indicative? I could understand "no i'm just being lazy and doing my thing that's a bad push" but I felt like the lengths to which he went to thinly strawman and then demolish my push (rather than engaging with the substance of my actual read i.e. that he's blatantly wolfsiding regardless of alignment and that he can do better as town, even if I don't expect him to, and it seems like he's using excuse to tether vote to a blatantly non-consensus short-temper villager, plus his reads have seemed generally tmi-y) don't give me a lot of hope in that regard.
