can you talk about your cakez read? i don't quite understand what you're saying here, but cakez has been solely focused on enchant, so idk what this is about moving votes around. i get the bystander thing but not the rest.

I tried to think. Hard. But sorry no, i just can't look at wheme/alisae without knowledge about guns. I just know one/two are evil. That's it.

Only way to convince me that mafia picked two or more roses is for both them to flip town. But at that point, it would't matter because i will be either dead or broken.

If i HAD to pick, i kill Wheme.

dont love this. gamma has been sidelining a lot this game. page after page of d1 mechtalk always makes my eyes glaze over but at least it sometimes comes from earnest townies. i've accused many people before of intentionally distracting the thread with pointless mech, and i dont think that's what theta or even ari is doing here, but this gamma post does strike me as fuelling a big irrelevant fire in a game with short deadlines.
This feels like an excuse of a read, that’s nowhere near the limit of what I’ve done and responding to only that displeases me

Oh right I misread that he moved his vote somewhere but that isn't true. I realized when I did the ISO

I mainly don't think his reads have nuance so far and he's mainly be present in the thread to support an
Enchant
, flip-- this seems mafia motivated because he posits specifically that it is too easy for ot to be
enchant/wheme
but continues to tunnel. It feels easy to feign

How do you feel about
Dunn/Cakez
? They're currently the only viable alternatives to you.

I dont know your meta, but you seem town.

I think I tr ari

I was null on alisae

I keep waiting for bulge to make the game progress, but I feel like its a lot of going in circles. That is, he posts like he is a 'technical player' but he isnt making the game move forward in a way I consider meaningful
beeboy - Everyone thought this game was made to troll pie but it was really made to troll pisskop.
Almost50 pisskop: Overall, that's a townie slot. Don't ask for specifics because with PK everything can be interpreted either way. It's probably WHEN he says/does things that matter, so it's more of a matter of conception rather than solid reasoning.

power-wise there's so much more influence in flipping a role than potentially absorbing a kill or two
If I pick gun, it's because I feel like I'm on a hot streak and can kill confidently. If I'm depressed or trust in others or feel no one else would, I take rose.

when i gave my read of her slot she started flinging shit at me. her mindset from the get-go has been centred on resolving claims (seems agenda-based) rather than alignments. i have no beef but this plus her defensive reaction to me and subsequent projection reads scum to me clear as day.

i'm still in catchup mode, once i feel grounded in a game i'll go back and do a tonne of rereading including of my own iso and piece together an idea of where i'm at reads-wise.

noticed but wasn't scumpinged. i think it was the pattern from ari that irked me. plus i dont usually try to read enchant this early in the game lol
