Hey I was first, I just RVS'd :lol:
I agree with the logic that you are probably town because I think that there's a lot of townies who get uncomfortable with early wagons because ??? So I think there is scum voting here, it's just probability. But also you could still be scum with other scum voting for you, in 2172 I made that mistake.

I'm also not sure what the scum motivation is for accelerating your wagon because obviously we aren't going to yeet you.
Or maybe we do but anyone who hammers is scum claiming.
I'm assuming a 1 for 1 is still good in this setup so I'll miss you if that were to happen but I think I'd still take it :P
what's your take on my response to the official L1 i am at? and to all those who have posted since
BM's
vote?

@bolded
wouldn't be so sure either way, multiball's are wild.

In post 39, Taly wrote:Reasonable assessment, but who are the scum and is it townled at all?
This is kind of weird to me though, I started the wagon and I still wouldn't consider it to be town led. No one had posted yet, it's random led
i also feel iffy with the assertion that i am town based on the wagon since several players did not join into the thread to contribute on RVS before solvy stuff began,
clidd/iam
, so its hard to get a grasp on the thread on a hollistic level.

i mean, the latter half of
klick's
statement was what i meant as
"reasonable"
and where my question was directed
I'd wager Taly is more likely town than anything,
with both scumteams contributing to the wagon somewhere.
but then, i suppose youve still made some assessment of the game within the past 3 pages? something... a bit more interesting than a townlean.
In post 42, Klick wrote:Titus is my best guess for scum on the wagon atm. Weird sheep without comment, and then the fuss about E-1 without unvoting.
MURDERCAT's vote seems NAI, and tbh I'd expect Battle Mage to do the E-1 vote as any alignment. The sus votes are in the middle, when the wagon is actually being talked about as a wagon. A decent question at this point is, is there anyone adding pressure on you that wouldn't have done so as town? If so it's going to be somewhere in {PlusJOYED, Marashu, Titus, Klyne}.

But also there's almost certainly bound to be town guiding the wagon as well :P
klick
is a quick one with reads but it is productive here.
In post 46, Titus wrote:Setting Taly up at a fake L minus one would clear the way for a fake hammer gambit, which is one of my favorites. I have never seen it done in RVS but I figured why not? Worst thing that happens is more conflict and activity which is good to get us out of RVS.
got a little annoyed with and spoiling the fun because i figured you were reaction testing.

anyway, i like this approach. +1

After Kanna's game, no :lol:
Maybe I will ask you directly, what do you think your tells are? Because you seemed really solvey as scum still.
fair, i really went hard for that deepwolf angle.

I really don't like to give self-meta, especially during games, I feel like it can easily be turned into me manipulating your perception of my slot, whether I do that subconsciously or not. Plus, I have a MASSIVE tonal range as a mafia player, so I can't faithfully tell you that my mental or emotional state is plainly scum or town even if I were sincere upon saying it.

Few people onsite has ever read me correctly via meta.


So, instead of tells, I'll just give you
factors
that POINT to a likelier alignment that I am
(Because You Asked ;))
-

Spoiler: yucky self-meta, you have been warned.
Pro-Town Taly

+ More conversational, informal tone, spews a lot more
+ If there are reservation of thoughts, it is for a purpose usually given later
+ Can be very difficult to predict read and POV wise, may actually be a bit convoluted with ideas
+ Focus on avoiding mislims.


NAI Taly

+ GIFs and "showiness"
+ Walls, those unfortunately happen everywhere
+ Usually cares about game cohesion and playstyle usually is oriented to work with players.
+ I do everything possible to get information from others. Regardless of my alignment. ;) I question a lot.

I actually can't tell if vote timing is AI for me.

Anti-Town Taly

+ More stagnant, refined, I keep myself less exposed, and I am less "messy" with every aspect of game.
+ If there is a reservation of thought, it is to gain information to help me adapt to gamestate I can survive in
+ If you
BoP
me, you would likely lay my ass to waste in an argument.
+ The times where I'm actively against mislims as scum, is because I'm playing the long game and have won off towncred from that. Me being correct by itself is not exactly town.


In practice, my
town/scum games
are subtle upon observation, unless you're peak-strength with tone reading.

Which is why I'd rather just link my scum-games instead (Least Relevant to Relevant):

viewtopic.php?f=84&t=60966 - First completed mafia game ever. Won as a Serial Killer.
viewtopic.php?f=52&t=63741 - First groupscum game. Won after I was a planned bus.
viewtopic.php?f=56&t=76118 - Hardly a game really, but I was in a 41p multiball with tons of vigs...
viewtopic.php?f=52&t=76098 -
Perfect scum victory.
;)
viewtopic.php?f=56&t=76341 - Was a fucking traitor... UGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHHH... I/my slot always outlasts groupscum.
viewtopic.php?f=54&t=79036 - A TRAITOR AS A HYDRA. KILL ME.
viewtopic.php?f=84&t=78138 - 2-in-1... I was town AND scum.
viewtopic.php?f=54&t=82724 - 3p I replaced out, but still... very recent tbh.
viewtopic.php?f=52&t=82289 - 4p scum hydra >:3
viewtopic.php?f=83&t=84987 - Most recent and credible scumgame.
Murdercat

i guess claiming isn't really a thing in this type of game huh.
i prefer to put pressure to see how people act. more pressure gives more info usually though without claiming maybe I'm going about this wrong.
way i see it is you're null leaning scum and killing you will help me ascertain titus greatly. so i see no reason to move
so we went from
"im RVS voting
Y
to
X
is likely Scum if
Y
is Scum"
to
"
Y
is null-leaning scum now"
to
"killing
Y
helps me read
X
"


the logical leap in 80 posts from voting a random wagon to justifying it by doubtcasting another player's alignment reads as disingenuous.

but you know, im just fine with leaving this thought here for now.
i prefer to put pressure to see how people act.

<3 eeeee murderkitties


I'm going to be candid about my POV with
Titus


I don't have a strong mechanism of sorting them.

I just have an easy way of understanding them because I've town-hydra'd with them before (cannot go into details to uphold site rules.)

So my biggest way to sort that slot now is to just read, take notes, and don't shelve yet.

I'm also getting gut scumpings from Klick, but I also know BM is better than me at finding scum. Klick did have a good point about Klyne, though.

Some Degree Of Scum Read: PlusJOYED

absolutely loved their because that post will make it quite easy to read back onto them as the game progresses, im also happy that they actually answered my question in full and didnt seem to inject their POV on why they should.

ill get to their question about the
murdercat
townlean, its mainly gut and me only experiencing
murdercat
as town
(which is why i asked you about scum-
murder
)


is interesting because it implies that
ORAM
had a reason to keep his vote up later but I'm taking that post at face value for now, and that his disposition is hard to fake and is likely coming from a town stance that isn't hindered by potential teammates rn.

i could be pocketed because the theme of his posts seem to support me as a townread, but thats not a thought process ill entertain at all right now so

townread is my feels for

Klyne


Why is your read on me based on one post where I townlean
Marashu
?

And your scumpool consists of people who are bussing each other in both scumteams if it were realistic, do you think this is a plausible solve?

I ask because I get the impression that your reads are based around controlling what people should think versus a personal solve from you.

The
"unadultered NOOB SCUM FEAR"

Regarding your wagon, what is your impression of the growth it had in a short period of time?
All alignments were on it, probably. I don't think any votes were serious when posed, and it's disingenuous for votes to remain because it feels like justifying an in-context-RVS-vote is lazy.

Who are the 2 people you like on the wagon,

Is this post more readable clidd? I can adjust further if necesssary.

His back-off from me was the freaking scummiest thing all game, even beating Titus. The way he unvoted was absolute unadulterated NOOB SCUM FEAR.

He thought "Oh shit, maybe I was a bit over-performative in the way I described my reads, I guess from now on I'll be more vague because he thought that was scummy, whew"
Marashu isn't likely scum. Marashu lurks a fair amount as scum. I could be wrong because even scum have a reason to hunt here, but I strongly don't think he is.

I think you're just attacking everyone against you.

In post 129, Taly wrote:DV, are association tells ever useful to find in this setup?
Yes, and I do think that these sorts of things are worth keeping in mind, but I think that they can also be very premature and a useful way for scum to post thoughts on the game without too much investment or commitment.
Unless
DV
is very subtly defending
Titus
(which I doubt), I don't think this POV is voiced by scum in a setup like this. Want to see how true
DV
holds to this line of thought.

Also
DV
, are you meta'ing

I am also considering townreads on Taly and Marashu and am less interested in PlusJoyed as scum than I was previously

I am a bit skeptical about MURDERCAT and therefore the townreads of him. His posting has this way of making me feel like he's really thinking about how he is coming across with each post and I was actually interested in Marashu thinking that Murdercat was scum.
(And would therefore actually be quite interested in hearing what Marashu thinks about this now!)

I can actually relate to a lot of Titus' thoughts on Klyne. The posting feels like a front, a facade of sorts. This could be explained by Klyne wishing to use this account to have that particular style but there's certainly nothing particularly town to me about the slot so far.

Perhaps of anyone in the game right now,
ORAM's posting feels the most easily made by scum.

No, I've been suspicious of Titus for some time and I'm tired of the static game state. Let's see if the wagon resumption causes any productive friction.

I asking for his case about Titus after voting to understand his motivation inside the wagon, considering that I have no other slot at the moment that I feel as strange as Titus and that I really intend to vote.

By extension, I found Klyne's sporadicity in the last few posts kind of not something that I would expect from scum.
I think
Klyne
is AtE'ing.

They singled your vote out in but make no mention of mine.

what was the thought process behind asking oram his thoughts behind wagons specifically ()? for some reason it pings me as an odd question. not scummy, but something i feel there's a bigger thought process behind it and i'd like to peek into it.

titus's play kinda strikes me in a "scum would play better here" way.

titus/murdercat conversation strikes me as ~weird~.

okay my eyes are glazing over i'll be back at some point.
I figured if
ORAM
was scum with
Titus/Klyne/Plus
then they'd either be ALL OVER their wagon OR avoid it like the plague and dismiss it.

I also wanted to see if they'd find rationality for me to be scum off my wagon that wasn't entirely serious at some point, or try to buddy me by shading specific votes I took issue with at some point
BM/Plus
who kept their vote on me due to some form of scumread or reason they'd double down on.

I was looking for potential associatives OR at least have
ORAM
spew his ideas on several slots in a way that would probably confine or worry scum. The more he spews, the more he can contradict himself, or make himself clear.

Essentially, my question was multi-folded and a way for me to evaluate his progression upon review AND evaluate it more easily in the future.

You keep alluding to a net-neutral read on
Murder
but you mention him often, do you have a concrete read?

This looks good for VP and bad for Titus and Taly. Plus and Bulge are also off the wagon, Plus probably looks a bit worse of the two because I think Bulge is also on scum :lol: But maybe Titus is a wolf.

As for scum on wagon it's hard to say and really depends on Titus/Klyne. It's hard to know what the motivation was for the wagon at the moment. I might expect other mafia towards the end of the wagon when it became inevitable? But as for wolves they could be anywhere on the wagon, especially if one of the other wagons was on a wolf.

MURDERCAT also doesn't say why the wagons are bad for me and Taly. He just throws out a boilerplate guess that's username's thoughts but weaker and recycled.

MURDERCAT is scum.
:lol:

Kylne could just as easy be mafia with other mafia voting for you who bussed when it was inevitable. Are you getting confused?

It is bad for you and Taly because you aren't on the wagon, it was obvious I was discussing who wasn't voting for galaxii.

You are partners with Titus probably

Titus
was mafia-motivated and one where
Titus/Klyne
are Mafia/Mafia at that... which never makes sense in this game.

It doesn't look like you believe your stance here.
Titus wrote:What is the deal here with all my townreads voting for me and my scumreads wking me?
Most everything I'm saying at this point has the additional motive to get a foothold on the game, because I admittedly did not do anything D1 and have not kept up with the game since my last post, and even then, I wasn't too vested into the game's progression until now.

this is old as fuck but this segways into my current POV
In post 691, VP Baltar wrote:Also, Taly, how are you feeling about that Klyne vote?
D1 was because I figured he intentionally inflated with intensity to AtE the thread, and I don't recall him ever following up on my POV there so it felt like a deflection from his strengthening wagon.

I'm not so apt on a
Klyne
vote now because he bussed
galaxii
which plummeted the trajectory of the
Titus
lim option. Also because he was within the mafia list, and I don't see why mafia ever puts one of their own onto an NK-list AFTER a scumpartner lim D1.

So a solve with
Klyne
-Mafia is one of the least likely solves I can imagine in this game right now.

Because of this, I can see a reality where
Klyne/Titus
are wolf/wolf assuming they did a shit-ton of theatre D1, but that's far-fetched since werewolves have greater incentive to survive and scumhunt than mafia do because of being lower in numbers AND Mafia in a 1:1:1 scenario... So I strongly doubt that this is the case.

I feel like a likelier gamestate is that
{Klyne/Titus}
has
at least one town (I'm leaning on both town because of the wagon stagnation and counter-wagon hitting Mafia)
, and the narrative that the thread wants to perpetuate a 1v1 comes from a scum-led motive.

VP
is also a townread because I don't know why the hell he busses as the Mafia partner
galaxii
.
Yes, it could be a deflection from wolf-
Titus
or wolf-
Klyne
lim, but on a lazy skim of
VP's
ISO, I like their posting.... and this is a very WIFOMy argument so I'm not a fan of pursuing it here.

so
{klyne/titus/VP}
checks out

what games are you referring to? i remember we have played before but i dont remember where

my approach rn is to find a strong town core and then PoE to see if it fits a full-game solve, also looking at how people interact with

If I read correctly, werewolves are the only ones capable of NKs.

So wolfhunting sounds ideal.
