Oh Tina Hi! 

 

Shad and Andraj (AJ?)are currently top of my list. Just minor day 1 instincts. Shad feels like he's playing behind a persona with a specific goal in mind. Andraj seems like he's trying to set up relationships and connections to justify any actions or votes that may come through. But I might be reading too much into it this early. 

 

Was it this?

 

Because this is also bad.

[Shad_]

I think he elaborates on this at some point down the line?

[Shad_]

There was something specific though that Cory and I both commented on and I can't find it now....

oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip we can still search for words

@Darthe you said you were changing your mind on me yet kept your vote. Am I still scummy to you? Where do you currently stand on everyone? 

Pre flip you weren't particularly scummy no.  Post flip you're back to null just cause I need to reassess.

[Darthe]

It's a shame to see a mega flip town.  I had some hope that you call were on a roll and I could remain easygoing all game.

Ok, so it looks like I got some of Cory's posts mixed in with AJ's. I was reading them as one person I think.

 

[Cory: " kaylee lock town"]

 

Ok. There was even jokes about putting her in his pocket after this. So definite linking. I know later on Cory basically reported this as a strat to see how other's would perceive it and rolled it off as strat+lulz, but ultimately he locked in a partnership here that despite the explanation of his goal still exists.

[Cory: " i also fear lenlo, in the sense that when im a villager im scared hes also a villager "

 

Jokingly Linking.

I get where yore coming from.  just remember, regardless of alignment if Kaylee has 2 to catch up, she's going to agree with someone. Possibly more then one person even. 

This is good Kaylee,I feel the same quite often

I'm not sure I have any grasp of what he actually looks for as signs of wolfiness tbh

 

BG, what's this linking business and how is it relevant?

Yeah, see that's the point though. Even as a joke, its a manipulative strat to get on someone's good side. So let's play out if Kaylee is town then since the majority seem to agree on that for now. 

 

As town: You are legit just joking around. Whatever. See what can be gleamed from it. This is what you claim.

 

As mafia: You see a strong town vibe and maybe sense that people will rally around her. Get her on your good side and you are gold. Or Maybe she has some incorrect views you wish to propagate by NKing her and letting those opinions hang forever. 

 

Either way, the cost benefit of your actions are higher as mafia, and so statistically there's a better chance your actions are motivated by this. 

 

In a basic game though, in my opinion, the only major reason for deceit is to be mafia. Town that tries to get too tricky in a basic game generally just muddies things up more often than not.

I am literally just trying to get all of these posts in one place so I can read them together coherently

I figured you'd be going at me rather than bg.  It kinda sketches me out in that "if by flips town and shad pushes it then shade prob a wolf but I won't be able and do anything about it because of relative weight in the thread" sorta way, if that makes sense.

 

Ima put this on the list of things that I shouldn't type out but can't help but concern myself with.

I mean if it’ll make you feel better I could make some passive aggressive comments about how slow the game is. But really I’m not all that bothered by it. I didn’t expect this to be crazy active after such a long lay off and it’s not like people haven’t been participating to some degree. Kaylee has been making Kaylee like reads. Nini dropped some decent observations. Cory is being his corky self and you’re doing that slithery dance we have to do every game until we lynch a wolf and things are good. Arie has good tone. Marsh seems at ease even if his stuff about Darthe read a little weird. He’s pending reread so we’ll see. Darthe hasn’t done anything yet that made me think he was scum in a recent game where we lynched him D1 so there’s that too. I really don’t know where to place Amega yet. Lenlo hasn’t done anything notable and SK hasn’t posted at all so

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Is Marsh who you wanna lynch?

I think this irked me right at the beginning, I know it's an open game setup game which means trying to soft claim a type of character in a way that both comes off at a joke, but at the same time is completely ambiguous as far as alignment is concerned. It just was weird to me. I decided to look back at all AJ's posts to bring a triumphant reasoning to my first impressions....

 

 

 

Unfortunately, I think this stuck in my head and then I started mixing other people's posts with AJ's in my brain. I need to rescind my previous suspicion on AJ honestly. I don't see anything that really constitutes linking other than this post, but this is a standard read post. 

 

I need to go and re-position who is who back in my brain.

 

 

[Darthe]

Yo marsh when you read this can you tell me what you thought of amega please?

[Shad_]

I want to stab myself in the face right now

but you already submitted your night kill on me lol

[Shad_]

To be more direct about it Darthe, it's really hard to balance encouraging everyone to stick to the POE with making sure people continue to develop reads and don't just play out three or four days mechanically.  If I want to be super lazy about it I would just say Kaylee Niniel and Dice are town, lynch you and BG then glgl deciding between Arie and Marsh if the game doesn't end.

 

But the minute that gains acceptance and is wrong, the deepwolf can just coast to endgame.

 

Doesn't mean we should throw caution to the wind and lynch Kaylee without an incredibly good reason

 

Just means we have to keep it honest

 

We're just at that stage of the game where, for me at least, lack of a search function is incredibly crippling.

[Arie]

FYI, ISO is kinda being a .... 

But if you go to individual profiles and just read through their posts via their profile... it's a little more... coherent and manageable.

 

*ISO reading profiles*

 

[Shad_]

But let's be real Darthe.  You're sketched out because I lead a mislynch?  That's incredibly shallow given all of our experience together.  Surely you have some broader take on me.

If you know a magic incantation to make it display more than the last 15 posts someone made site-wide, I'm all ears.

(oh gods, i'm not used to 43 pages of content... 24-30 at this stage....)

That may require sleeping with someone... 

 

I shared a bed with verbal once.. doubt it'll help.
