Ok, I'm back, and I'm caught up. Mondays are terrrrrrible around here!

That read was very much the dragon show... with a Knott side show...

In post 886, Aneninen wrote: (4) Kittie, I hope you're reading now. It's NOT the fact how many times Dragon voted. It's the fact that he ended up hammering Gimli - literally the only player he hadn't voted for before!

Spoiler:

Dragon's votes: Python, Knott, Comet, (Unvote), Kittie, Aneninen, Kittie, Black, (Self-vote), Aneninen, Knott, (Unvote), Timmer, Black, (Unvote), Gimli
It was Timmer, who was all about the statistics. I just liked the analysis, it pleased my brain in many ways.

I am so embarrassed right now

Be back tonight
I'm not sure how much I trust my individual reads this game :P
i just...

have no faith in any of my individual reads this game
this gives misdirection vibes...

However, I do agree, Dragon does read as very performative. I'm struggling to tell if that is personality or if that is strategy...



Does anyone else find it suspicious that both black and VIP replaced out, when it looked like they were being looked at a little too hard?

I haven't gone back for a re read on the early game, so correct me if I'm wrong.... but I believe there was a fair amount of speculation that they were the scum team...

Welcome!


Knott, gives me scum vibes just all the way around. I have felt for a good chunk of the game his scum reads came from trivial things, such as someone was less active over the weekend, where most of the players including himself stepped away for the weekend. Demanding that someone participate, then calling them scum when they did. These are just off the top of my head, while getting back into the game. I will have to go back and do an iso for specific examples, if anyone would like.

Okay, I can accept that. I actually find that a more likely reason than you went just started openwolfing all over the place

pg 17-19: Afrayed comes off very genuine to me.  Comet pushed very hard there, maybe a bit too hard too hard for such a small thing.

I'll be honest, I'm not really sure what we do now.

Hopefully Merlyn and Dann will find something that the rest of us missed, because right now I feel like I'm back at square one wrt to finding scum.

Enchanted Forest


Fairyland, Elfhome, Seelie Court, etc., have often been described as deep, mysterious forests. Tales of humans wandering into a dark forest, becoming lost and falling asleep, only to wake up in a glade inhabited by Fairy-like beings are common in many cultures. In these stories, rather than entering Fairyland via some form of portal, Fairyland sweeps over the visitors as they sleep, transforming that part of the forest into Fairyland by enchantment.

In post 962, Cometbright wrote: You and Dragon are in my limpool as I said at the end of Day 1 and VIP is somewhere in null at the moment. I'm asking if the three of you all see each other as townie and this as a genuine townie push against a (presumable) scum!Black/Dann or if you think someone on there is taking advantage of the push - which has implications. Since I view the three of you as either scummy or null, I think you know my opinion on the matter.

Most times with DE I do but then he does things that put me off and make me wonder, His carefree attitude for example, coud be a ruse could be genuine town, then his role fishing to which I asked

In post 938, Afrayed Knott wrote: Also DE why are you role fishing? 896

Still no answer

With VIP I acknowledge some see him as scummy, but he actually sounds like me and so I oft times feel he is town trying to hunt down scum. Trouble is he is tunnelling me and if he really wants to hunts scum he should look elsewhere. He hasn’t really pressured anyone else but then that is from my POV.

How is any of that relevant to this Black vote/your progression on it...? If anything isn't it pointing to the exact opposite because Gimli flipped town?

I am confident Timmer is scum and the interaction with the Black slot convinced me that they are both scum. In fact D2 my first vote was on Timmer. Bu then my other scum read's wagon developed and so, yes I jumped on it. And you are doing what VIP is doing skimming, I make it very clear why I suspected the Black slot. And how I use my vote against my top scum reads is for me to decide. Please tell me where it says I should do what you are insisting I do.

In post 963, Cometbright wrote: Python is a strong player - not contesting that - but they did push a Gimli wagon into a subsequent Gimli townflip. Does that not make you waver even a little? Why take Python's reads over say, Gimli's reads? He flipped town too.

If you're consistent in your reads, then why the sudden Black e-1 over voting Timmer? Don't you confidently view him as scum? Because all I've really seen regarding your own reasoning for Black!scum has been tied to trying to cover/protect scum!Gimli... who flipped town. I just don't get your reasoning here - and that's not a good sign when you're apparently confident enough to put a wagon to E-1 unannounced.

You should read this for your first dig

In post 938, Afrayed Knott wrote: Of course I would have. I would have looked at both what Gimli and Python were saying in D1, we all should. And had my reads not aligned I would have looked at why. But my reads did align, and Python’s read on me is correct. So I am always going to trust the reads of a confirmed Town, dead or alive. Our only reads we should trust are these 2 dead townies and I would say we start there. For example, who are Python? It’s a group of people who have some experience in the game, or am I wrong? So why were they NK’d, we have already discussed this but not at length. But let us break it down. They were quiet forceful in their reads and quiet adamant in their strategy to lim. Which means they were killed for their reads, and more importantly for their threat to scum later in the game. The fact that they were an Obv TR read that DE talks about is a factor, but only if you TR them. Its very opportune to say “I TR’d them”, but that is not indicative to alignment is it. Because as scum you would know they were Town.

Gimli’s downfall was lack of interest/input in the game but they still had reads, which were Kittie and either Black or DE.

For the second dig, I’ve explained my read on Black and it had nothing to do with Gimli

Ummm no, at the beginning of the game there were quiet a few who were not in the game, you, Timmer and Gimli. Timmer even stated why they weren’t in the game with the AtE posts about not knowing what to do. Gimli also stated that they had not been paying attention to the game, I also believe you did the same.

So this would be your example? (I've bolded it for clarity)


In post 388, Afrayed Knott wrote: So for me the initial feel towards Timmer, Kittie and Comet remains in place, and I am not fully convinced by my town read on VIP.
The feeling towards Timmer and Kittie is more to do with their scant content
, but Commet is not floating my boat. I just don’t get a good vibe from the posts.

But then I did say this

In post 566, Afrayed Knott wrote: I Like Kitties reappearance, which is unnerving as it to me seems full of good observation, but I will reread it as I see others pulling it apart. Meh now my lim list has an issue.



And this (bolded again for clarity)

In post 577, Afrayed Knott wrote: Anyway. I really do not know what to think now.
I need to reread both Comet and Kittie, as their recent interactions have placed a lot of doubt in my mind about where the sit with me ratm
. I feel confident though that Timmer is a scum. Their re-emergence into the game seems contrived and this, if I am right, places a question mark over Black. But then I would like to hear from others on my post above regarding this.


Which I think speaks for itself. But if you want me to broaden this out the fact that players began to play and were posting content that pushed others such as you were doing, then I had to reevaluate my reads on them, which is my meaning in these posts.

In my mind Being away for a weekend was not a reason to call people out, especially if they set their VLA.

I think I've built up a pretty solid mental model of black as a player since then, I'm not like infallible, but I'll just say I was pretty sure I was replacing into a town slot

do with that what you will
So we should not being viewing you as town. Even though your entry gambit is suggestive that you are and we should all sit back and let you be?

It's not a rule per se. Players aren't required to make note of voting to E-1. It's considered a good practice in Newbie games.

Also I believe both Black and VIP repped out for NAI reasons, and would prefer not to speculate about it so as not to angleshoot.

(reason I am not quoting posts is I'm phoneposting, and quoting individual segments of a post is a pain on phone)
