Off the top of my head, I think the only thing that stood out to me what him pushing for people to reveal their PR/draft numbers (I don’t actually remember which one or if it was both, once again I can take a closer look at things in the morning) which I think is a bit pushy and not entirely beneficial to town. Since it is essentially just bringing conversation that could wrongfully condemn people quite easily.

So I guess I think he’s being a bit sus with his choice of actions.

Also I have the memory of a goldfish and don’t really remember anyone’s game-styles so this is gonna be a rough game for me and my untrustworthy gut feelings

Fair enough

What are your thoughts about his interactions with Orange? (Specifically posts 381-398)

I’ve been trying to figure out if that feels manufactured or not

Oh yeah that’s a section that really stood out to me too

This whole interaction set off some flags in my head, I just don’t know what to make of them

It’s very possible that their short respondes were just in response to the short start to the conversation, but the whole thing kinda gives me the vibe of two kids trying to bring something up at the lunch table to get others to talk about it and doing it real awkwardly

Not to be an ass or discourage activity like this, but why cattypaws? Like why even bother with an iso of two posts?

Also I doubt that opener is townie, and you’re drawing WAYY more out of it than there is. Sus.

It’s making me mad sus that I brought this up and everyone is, god forbid, agreeing with me. Smells like :sheep:. I will probably re evaluate this in a few days.

You got something you wanna say :pleading_face:

Never did that. I asked people to tell me what they thought was the most powerful, and asked orange what he would have picked (I very specifically only asked orange).

Agreed, if I had done that, that would have been v stupid.

The first half of your statement is facts, conversation=good

Reads

Scumy:
Squirrel and Kayla exclusively for that interaction (more on this in a second).
Orange for change in play style
Arete

I’ve been there

Where you don’t check in on a game for a whole day

Then you do get a chance to hop on and you find yourself reading 500 posts

Lemmie tell you, and tell me if I’m wrong, but retention rate is VERY low.

There is no way she remembers that much about my specific actions but doesn’t bring it up on her own. The conversation between her and squirrel hundo P something that squirrel would wright to pin it on two of the most seasoned players here.

I’ve played with both, and everything Kaylee says just sounds like it’s right out of the keyboard of a squirrel coach.

VOTE: Squirrel2412

I would vote kaylee but I’mma give her the benefit of the doubt, plus squirrel more likely to be here sooner and defend himself with fire.

000peo Iso

not really a fan of this opener, it feels kind of defensive despite them not really being under much pressure

same with this

they seem really bothered by early votes, in particular their point 2 is shade without actually voicing a scumread, which is kind of wolfy

this is a reasonable thought but I don’t like how they don’t … do anything with it

like they don’t try to use this to solve, or actually come to any conclusions

quoting these together even though they didn’t actually happen together because they’re just about the best posts in the entire Iso

which is not to say that they’re particularly good posts but they at least have … some semblance of solving?

other than that there’s not really anything resembling a read or an attempt to solve

Overall conclusions

Overall, I have this as a scumlean, they haven’t really made much of any attempt to solve the game, or any reads, and their early posts are weirdly defensive

I’m trying to cut them some slack since IIRC they’re new but even taking that into account I still think they’re wolfy

VOTE: 000peo

Oh good a friend hi @Arete what do you say about my near baseless claims

This is a really good read

If it was about anyone other than leo

Imo so far this is almost entirely within expectation for a leo type of play style

orange asked me for my thoughts on Cattypaws’s + 000peo’s Isos in particular, and I didn’t really have a good reason to go with someone else instead

also they don’t have all that many posts so I thought it wouldn’t take me very long :upside_down_face:

their Iso has more posts, the ones I quoted were just the only ones that I thought were really AI at all

and obviously I didn’t know when I started the Iso that there would be that little AI content

wait, is 000peo not new, I thought someone had mentioned in the Discord pregame that they were

can you summarize their playstyle for me?

Let me be clear -

If I wanted to falsely accuse either of you, I would have done it much, much earlier in the thread.

The reason I asked Kaylee specifically about this interaction was because I was in the process of iso’ing you, noticed it, and wanted to see if someone else shared the same thoughts.

can you quote the posts you’re referencing here so I can take a look?

Uhhhhh

Exactly how they are playing now?

A bit of fish out of water 24/7 no matter the alignment

You remember Thor in the first Thor when he first gets to earth? Like that.
