@laserlab

However I lost that game so I don’t know if that was the best strat

Not the best

[laserlab (William)]

*the previous game not games

[laserlab (William)]

What do you think the best strategy is?

[StarV (NotanAxehole)]

The best (and only) way to play is to catch people on technicalities that they don’t judge to be important, and speed wagon them to kingdom come.

WHOA I completely forgot this was a thing

sorry for that everyone, hello hello

give me about an hour to catch up

thank

This is a reasonably succinct way of explaining how star plays, its fairly old but afaik his philosophy hasn’t meaningfully changed

@StarV

I mean… I understand that the “fuck you I’m not explaining my reads stop asking” approach is annoying, but the truth is, if I do explain my reads, then you have the opportunity to disagree with my reasoning even if the result is correct. Which… Is bad, so going based on clout is usually the best option… AND, it’s been going well for me recently.

As I see this game has a lot of newcomers, I may have less clout to flaunt around than usual, so I might need to pander a bit…

Let me adjust. I am diametrically opposed to explaining my reads before you give me your most accurate reads and explain why.

This also gives me an opportunity to see what you’re looking for, which will allow me to fabricate a read that makes you likely to sheep me

[Squirrel2412 (David E)]

I thought you were dead

But then I realized it’s d1 this game

[orangeandblack5]

Please stop talking about ongoing games that aren’t this game

That’s not a suggestion

@StarV

I mean, maybe you won’t die today, I haven’t played in a long time, so I do have to re-read before eod

one thing I’d like to request. If you ever end up rereading the thread, verify if what I said is true or not. It’s not like I don’t do the “objectively townie” stuff, it’s not like I’m a player who would be hard to defend if scum cared about me. Me not getting support just means that no one has any motivation to do so

meh

@StarV

FYI

My reads are all based on non-sense that you wouldn’t really consider anyway, so it’s not helpful for me to post them.

figured.

that’s the main reason why I’m not pushing you right now
despite blindly tunneling me without a word of explanation and ignoring the thread-state, you seem to actually believe that what you’re doing is “good” in some way

it’s kinda funny tbh

[ejjinami]

… VOTE: andrev

I’m starting to believe that my entire read on orange might have been based on wrong assumptions. I played with them on another forum once and remembered them as way different than how they are in here
they were active, pushed people with explanations and idk…

but the more I look at their posts here, the more it seems like they’re just chilling altogether, which might be more indicative of their mood than alignment

or the site meta altogether

I’d like to say that them not caring about what’s going on is townie… but considering the fact that the only serious wagon rn is on me and no one seems to be even trying to push anyone who could be his scummate, that’s really not that helpful

Whatever.

——

I still think that Laser’s attitude was townie.

StarV is tunneled as heck but they seem to care about what they’re doing. It doesn’t really feel as if they’re trying to coast after managing to manipulate the townies onto an easy mis-kill… if I were to place my bet, they don’t really feel like scum? xd

it’s incredibly hard to get reads when the players aren’t willing to interact with each other but IF I WERE TO GUESS, gun to the head- EricH sounds tonally fine

so that leaves me with a PoE of 4 scum among:

[EricKline, Nanook, Squirrel, gellnick, JKBear331, Andresvmb, clonedcheese, waxton, GoalkeeperBoss, jletendre]

…not perfect

considering my death as a town-death (obvious from my pov, from yours valid only if it happens), I’d look for scum among the ones coasting the most

There is likely 0-1 scum on my wagon (trying to get a mis-kill) [Squirrel2412, Andresvmb]
and at least 2-3 off it, using the opportunity to avoid attention [jletendre, GoalkeeperBoss, Nanook, EricKline, gellnick, JKBear331, clonedcheese, waxton]

among the PoE the one who pinged me the most till now was andrev… but it’s not like I have an explanation
nor any sort of “decent” reasoning

if you want to create a counterwagon among the people above, I will most likely sheep
if not, I guess not
I already did more than needed here
just kill me lol

[ejjinami]

@StarV

Tbh, I would speed run this to day 3 and see where we’re at. I don’t think there’s anyway for me to not kill Gellnick, ejjana this game.

if you want to eliminate gellnick, I can sheep

@StarV

The best (and only) way to play is to catch people on technicalities that they don’t judge to be important, and speed wagon them to kingdom come.

…you know XD

you will probably feel kinda dumb if you start teaching people how to get reads and end up having dead-tunneled a townie

you should consider doing that only AFTER I flip lmao

(no offense)

@orangeandblack5

Please stop talking about ongoing games that aren’t this game

That’s not a suggestion

My bad

[Squirrel2412 (David E)]

To anyone who’s played with @ejjinami - do they fake obvious townslips as scum?

[orangeandblack5]

I’ve played with them a bit but I think only as town

[ejjinami]

hey squirrel, orange since you seem to be online

any opinions on [jletendre, GoalkeeperBoss, Nanook, EricKline, gellnick, JKBear331, waxton, andresv]?

[Squirrel2412 (David E)]

jltendre null

Never played with em before, also 2 posts so I got no clue

GKB null
EricKline null
JK null
waxton null

All of them haven’t posted since first irl day 1 and in my experience with them those posts are nai

I think there might be a case for some of them being town based on how checked out they are from thread, but I won’t call them town until they’ve posted more

gellnick maf/pr

Behavioral tell from a past game

Nanook
Andresv

I gtg but I’ll get to them later

Got a vaccine appointment (first dose) coming up within the hour, so I would be unable to respond while I am in the midst of that. Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.
