Sooh took away liking posts you're gonna get me modkilled bro

Were you in the game where Rags posted a picture of Gemma Atkinson and I lockcleared him?  He was mafia, so that was bad, but it was also exponentially more townie than anything else Rags ever posted so zero regrets.

😇 When have I ever lied to you 

Tbh isn't this what I said, just in another way?  I said you seem towny to me, as per usual and that I wouldn't know it if you weren't, which is the same as you could be fooling me?

Maybe I wasn't clear, but I was saying I don't feel that IS the usual.  Maybe recency bias is affecting me pretty hard, but I know you were going at me in the last Harry Potter game we played and I'm 99% sure you had concerns of me in the MU game we played nope I'm objectively wrong there, you came around to me being town fairly early and never really moved on from that.

God, am I just so used to you being mafia at needing to poke me to make it seem like you don't know my alignment I've started projecting that onto your town game?  

Maybe it'd be easier if I played more than two or three games with you in the last five years where you were town. 😛

I think you and maybe only you will understand exactly why my mind went to Spirited Away specifically (a game where Hally was pretty feisty as a wolf and fooled a lot of the game... and was encouraged to play feistier / stand up for herself more by a certain wolf partner...)

But this may just be some unresolved trauma bubbling to the surface 😛

That game was at least six, maybe seven, years ago, and I still beat myself up over it more than any other town rand I had.

IDK if you wanted Cory's take, specifically, or this was a general question but Imma answer it anyway.

 

I think it is incredibly detrimental to post your guesses for power roles in the gamethread.  I think doing something that hurts the town is inherently pro-mafia.  Unless someone is trying to use that to stop what they believe is a mislynch, town has very little reason to offer up that kind of information.

 

Doing something that hurts town doesn't make someone mafia, and if your concerned mafia could use the information he offered up, that would mean he's almost assuredly not mafia himself.  Unless mafia can't communicate during the day and one is worried they won't make it past EoD1, there's really not any incentive for scum to openly wolf like that.

And I have no idea what that means for either of your alignments, but I'm fine seeing where you both go from here atp.

@Clovdyx was curious about your thoughts on this.

I don't have any thoughts on it.   If you're asking whether I believe he believes I'd try to push you if I'm mafia, I'm sure he does; I'm not sure he thinks there's anyone I wouldn't be willing to mislynch (maaaaybe one person).  If you're asking whether I think town!AJ thinks mafia!me is good enough to make an unexpected move, yeah, I'm a rampant narcissist but at least in this instance the last (only?) time I was mafia against him it went pretty poorly.

Hey now!  You mean you guys are going to lose to me again! 

I mean, uh, erm, what? I'm town.

Am I wrong to bigkirbythonk that comment by Hallia about me always seeming town?  I feel she's one of the non-Dice people that expresses concern about me the most if I'm honest, especially if you discount "Chris seems townie but could be fooling me".  Which I absolutely love about her.

You're in the wolfchat of my dreams ❤️

 

I also can see from this game that clov/Cory aren't gonna be wolf reads to me, they pretty much always seem towny to me, and I'm not yet a good enough player to spot either as a wolf day 1

I was talking about whether he'd expression frustration with inactives.  I don't remember the last time I saw Darthe as mafia, and using six year old meta is probably not the most effective way of forming reads, but I don't think him wanting activity means anything for his alignment.

But again, YOU making that argument doesn't bother me

Was the first game the one I ran with the theme of DM crashing... where, shockingly, DM crashed?

Do you think he's more likely to argue against them as town or as mafia, or do you thinks it's NAI?

Null, unless he specifically thought he'd be able to exploit it for a push.

Oh good Cory’s here.  That post you made about tripped is valid, but if tripped isn’t underperforming for how present they are then I don’t have a read.  Really don’t wanna lynch a verbal or similar shot in the dark today. 
 

and clov, I don’t have a question here but I wanna see you pursue that thought line more re: the whiskey delta post about alignment combos

If you mean what I asked Cory about, pretty straightforward tbh - I wasn't sure if he was specifically saying their early interactions gave them teammate equity or he thought, separately, AJ was scummy and Hallia was scummy.  I asked because I couldn't remember them interacting at all through the early pages of the game, and when I re-read, I got this:

Clearly a wolf.

There's probably an argument to be made that Mafia!Hallia feels more comfortable joking around with someone that she knows isn't going to light her on fire, but mostly I didn't think it meant anything for their alignments.

If they were independent reads, Hallia had done nothing to move the needle for me whatsoever through the first several pages but AJ was at least mildly townie so Cory thinking he was scummy was a big ??? moment.

Yeah I got that lol.  This feels like I lost two hours of life.  Could still be wolfin tbh, but newness just muddles the whole thing.

Meant to reply to this earlier and saw it again when Cory made me re-read - I'd actually be pretty damn surprised at this point.  I think a new player going after somebody that's gunning hard for them and then immediately dropping it because the other person stepped back first is >>>> rand to be town.  I can't count the number of inexperienced players whose initial response to aggression is  "Well, I'm town and they're trying to get me lynched, so they're probably mafia." -> "Oh, they backed off, maybe they're town."

Also I was not prepared for this to rub me the wrong way when looking for AJ/Hallia interactions but here we are.

which makes me think of what a scary combo that would be but also great if both are townies

I don't know if it's the verbiage or the thought I'm skeptical of. 

I'm pretty sure the justifications she gave are thoughts Town!Tripped would have, even if I disagree with some of them (namely what mafia!Darthe would do and whether AJ would argue against undeserved townreads as scum).  I don't think she's given out a single read and forced herself to justify it with nonsense.  I just don't think most of the points there are things she wouldn't be able to say as mafia.

I did think her point about Leelou specifically being really at ease for someone that hasn't played in such a long time had a lot of merit - if anything she's said this game has been particularly townie for her, it's that IMO.  

The scummiest is implying I have a crush on Taylor Swift for the forty-third time _{this week}.  

7 minutes ago, Cory Caboose said:

@Clovdyx I didn’t have much of an opinion on Tripped this game until the above post - am I silly for thinking its villagery?

 

@Zander? If you pierce through the hazy storm clouds of potential future embarrassment and impenetrable doubt, what is your best guess at Clov’s alignment?

Short answer - no. 

Long answer is it's more complicated than a yes/no.  Nothing there is wrong, per se - it's just really cookie cutter, both in terms of the game and general mafiahood.  Darthe, Leelou, and Hallia are fairly consensus villagers (I'll take, "Things people didn't say in 2016" for $600, Alex), and treating Zander and me the way that people -including her - tend to treat Zander and me doesn't really mean anything to me.

That said, consensus reads tend to be consensus for a reason, so please don't act like I'm saying it's a bad thing she's reaching conclusions that I think most people would probably make.

Are these independent reads or based on interactions?  I actually read back and have THOTS but want to hear your take first.

Not ready to commit to any hard reads yet but I did enjoy the posts from Darthe/Clov on the last two pages which makes me think of what a scary combo that would be but also great if both are townies

 

@Darthe if your question on this page boils down to “is Clov good?” then I would simply answer “yes”

 

@Clovdyx I can relate to making that sort of knee jerk read but I also don’t think its really out of your wolf range either. Do you want to wagon Tripped?

 

I do wonder why I’m so high in both your reads btw

 

Hally post feels natural flow on this page and I can relate to the sentiment 😆 no bad vibes there 

FEO Whiskey Delta

I was leaning town on you from your handling of Leelou.  The post where you just dropped her as town read pretty effing sincere and I'm not sure I ever see you making that move as mafia.  Your response to Zander is what made me feel as good as I reasonably could for this stage of the game.

Something something sick levels, but we're 300 in and halfway through d1.  If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it's probably not the pope, Kate Upton, and four ewoks in a trenchcoat wearing duck suits.

Oh, I meant to make a cocaine joke about no longer doing just one line, but I forgot.

That blows.

Clov would have wolf equity for early baseless WIM, right?  Somewhere mid-late game that flips and we expect that WIM from townie him though iirc? I'm honestly asking, that read's so old it can legally drink.

This hypothesis has never been tested, as it is predicated on Town!Clov being alive mid-late game, and I'm not sure that has ever happened.

If I had to guess, the number of posts is probably pretty consistent between alignments, though I'd say getting involved particularly early is probably a little frequent in my mafia rands than town.  It's really more reflective of game state than anything - town!me might try to drive up some activity but isn't going to force it.  As mafia, I'd probably try to use what's there more because

I do think he cares more about thread control as wolf than he does as town.  As town he cares more about being right.

This.  Also I'm less concerned about consequences of my play as town (though, ironically, I think I can get way more leeway from other players as scum).  

But mostly this.

What ABOOT Zander EH?!?!?!?!

I'll be completely honest with you bro - I'm barely reading your posts, skimming about two-thirds of them, and have no real read on you but fully intend to treat you like you're town until I have decent reason to think otherwise. 

Either A) you're town, and one (or both) of us will probably be dead relatively soon, or B) you ARE mafia, in which case I'm definitely going to be dead before I can do anything about it.  Plus, in a game that at least 75% of the roster signed up to massively slank - including me - I have zero desire to spam the thread with a back-and-forth like in the MU game. 

Part of me thinks I should have more reads than AJ/Leelou/Darthe town (in that order), but then I remember dooooooooooon't caaaaaaaaaare

The thing to Tripped actually wasn't a joke - probably premature, but a kneejerk reaction feeling is still a feeling.  A little surprised/disappointed only Darthe mentioned it.  If I absolutely had to lynch someone right now, it'd probably be her (and definitely would have been her at the time).

Cory, I randed town, so if you also did we could do that thing we do, but since I'm going to like 15% ass this game - tops - let's tunnel zero mafia instead.
