I don't, that is weak doctor/vigilante/masonizer. Scum might give town vig due to the consequenses of it going wrong, whereas cop and doctor don't have a downside as dire.

Sabrar wrote:GF being protected from Vig is a factor but less so

It's more than just "shows up to cops as town"? Well chirp that, I've been assuming what I've always heard about the roles.

Chirp chirp, motherfucker.

What did this mean? (Now I know what it feels like when I make this sort of cryptic comment...)

I would kill (do we use kill? whats the word? kill is too vague) Zen/Bessie/Wam. No preference.

Can you order your read lists by town to scum? That will help make your position clear.

I can think of at least 4 perfectly normal reasons off the top of my head why you would ask that and I could still be wrong about what yours was. So no, your specific reason was not 'pretty clear' to me but it was a good question nonetheless.

Contrast with Moody [whose] perspective is centered in how scum see the game and what roles they'd be worried about working around.

(edited quote slightly to be more compact as I hate the walls of text) - I like this point and will adopt it as my own.

Current list of townie and scummy players:

Townie: Wam

Very Confused about: Mak
Very confused about (but that's normal): boomfrog
Scummy: moody

Sabrar wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 12:40 pm @boomfrog: here you are asking moody to speculate on why the setup has both doc and weak doc as an option. moody misinterprets the question here. what was the purpose of the question and why did you not follow-up like you have with others?

Hmm, I remember thinking about clarifying and deciding not to. I don't remember now why, sorry.

The reason was because it was a good question. Scum would have to pretend that they hadn't already thought about the answer. Making scum lie is always good.

I'm not seeing anything scummy from them.

My 2nd choice at the moment after mak is between bessie and JC.

Bessie mainly due to meta and her not coming across as the townies town ever. JC mainly due to feeling like their lurking.

I'm not a very vocal person, so it does tend to seem like I'm lurking. I just don't say something just to say something so I look active. Look at my last game, I just tend to pay this way.

I don’t know the source of fonti’s impression. I haven’t really looked for it in this game’s content, and I won’t have time to look over previous games. I don’t have the impression that you have been avoiding fonti or anyone else. Your content level is a little lower than usual for D1, but in a NAI way. The answer was from the point of view that fonti had asked me the question, not you, and I was offering one explanation as for why they might have that impression.

So, why did you want my opinion on this? Was it just to make me feel obtuse?

Swiss wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 8:48 am Alas, I thought we were making progress.

You FoS'd me for asking Sabrar (1 liner) to explain his reads while I hadn't explained in depth my read on you (due to activity). So yes, that action serves to discourage discussion - or if I wanted to be exact you actually 'punished' me for questioning Sabrar.
Classify how you want.
Great word.

I'm still not overjoyed with how you had read the set-up, but say you'd obviously misread it.

The Bessie/Zen interaction interests me.

We are making progress. We’re talking and providing content that can be analyzed later in the game.

I’m disappointed you feel punished by me expressing a ping from your content. But I’m not sorry for noting it.

Freddino18 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 8:55 am Really wish you hadn't said that. We could have used this to subtly bait out dumb scum trying to train Mak. Literally just put that in my notes as a possible strategy, now I have to figure some other way to bait a scum misplay.

When will we get to see some of these notes? Specifically some reads on the players in this game?

Seven wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 9:22 am I've just been waiting, observing to see an indication of initiative/proactive solving, but the most we've gotten is a repeated question to Fred that he already indirectly answered.

Hint: you can’t because it didn’t happen.

Fred expressed suspicion on me for my role votes here.
He backtracked here and said he had no clue why he doubted me.
He voted for me here and still has not provided a reason for his vote.

Seven is subtlety defending Fred for a false reason. I believe Fred is scum. FoS.

Opposite playstyles, yes. Specifically was referring to your views on D1.

Stopping here for the night. I think Bessie might have genuinely misunderstood Janitor.

I highly doubt that given bessie has had that role in a previous game.

Refer to Sabrar’s response to my initial misunderstanding. This is not the variant I played before.

Sabrar wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 8:32 am

bessie wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 3:52 am I don’t get what’s so great about the janitor. It appears there are no indies in the game, and no town or mafia roles that don’t flip as part of an ability. If a player flips without an alignment reveal, can’t we just assume they are town?

In this game Janitor can only clean someone who we yeet, it is very different from a night-Janitor. We want to know whether we were right because we need a known scum-flip to identify connections (or in case of a town-flip we want to see who pushed it for nefarious reasons).

FoS Wam for the shade.

I'm very confident (but never 100% sure) that Seven's explination of the timeline of her thoughts is sincere. And my ability to read tone is significantly stronger then yours, so proportional to how much you trust my towniness I suggest you adjust your evaluation accordingly.

What specifically were you looking for that you felt that s-team answers would prevent finding?

Also who is your other clear? And if she was on the same team as me, do you think I could convince her to post a fake slip in response to your question?

Unrelated, why were you ready to end Day 0 so soon? I find it interesting considering that your intro post was about being busy.

Fred is my strongest town read. He's had so many microtown moments, I'm surprised he's on anyone's radar. As for the link you requested, you just linked to it yourself:

You're conflating his later vote with his earlier post. He hasn't given the reasoning for his recent vote, he has for the mistaken suspicion before. The way you're posing your question though is as if they are the same thing.

Why are you lying Zen.

Fred why did you vote Bessie and where is the case.

I still sus Bessie but Wam pushing Bessie makes me think. Wam's recent post insanely scummy.

Boom am I missing something or do you not have any reads? Surely an experienced player who is clearly intelligent has a full reads list and vote ready, and simply forgot to post them.

I quote Zen/Seven/Xiivi

"Obtuse. You never use to use such a word. I am seriously doubting you're the same person on the Ranmaru account. Either that or you were faking your personality all this time."
