I feel like this is the work of someone up on site culture
Can you elaborate on this? Why wouldnt I divide it like this?
I was thinking I would lock you as town if we were in different neighbourhoods, but that didn't happen.

Also hi Cakez, I remember you too!
to my mind, the small hood contains 3 small name players (because i have not heard of them) while the large hood contains all of the big players. i feel like you wouldn't have done that to yourself - it's too likely the players who play often will be able to find each other as town if they were all town. i think the large hood scum decided to carry the game, i think they are likely a veteran planning to blend in with a crowd they know well, i think because they are a veteran they most likely called the shot on how to divide the hoods, and the presence of strong players in their hood will also explain why they don't die at night.

granted this is partly stemming from my belief that eliming in the small hood was clearly optimal which i'm not so sure about anymore
Interesting, I noted something similar within the small hood. Me and Scared Bear, who are the only players on this list who could be either new or alts, are in the small hood, with Somnus. I was maybe more confident in Somnus being scum than I really should've been, as I don't think it's outright
damning
for him, but it does feel like it should be interesting.

However, your thoughts on the hood distribution do feel more coherent than mine. I can buy it. And I feel like it's a towny thought process from Cephrir.

cephrir everything you are saying makes a kind of sense but none of it really feels like stuff that wasn't thought of before the game actually started

do you have any hot and spicy takes on other people's hot and spicy takes

pedit: lol

i mean I want to think it's towny because it makes sense but I don't think it actually is? I think if cephrir was scum putting these hoods together pre-game he would have the exact same thoughts tbh

i had some of these thoughts pregame and others during it

i dont really have a lot of reads yet. i'm reading lucian's personality as stilted but i don't have a problem with it at this time. isis might be a town lean i guess

Well, sure. But if Cephrir is scum, I struggle seeing him decide to split hoods like this, and then right out of gate use this knowledge to townread Radja. It feels really easy to get called out as TMI for it, and it's not like Cephrir/Radja is a possible team for this to be scum setting up false associates.

I mean, the actual reason for the timing of my posts is that I am constantly rereading the thread and my thoughts take a bit to fully form

and yes of course I am going to handwave it away I know that it is wrong

the only way I can evaluate it is whether I think it's coming from town or not, I don't think I can evaluate the strength of the reasoning itself very well

I do think it makes some assumptions that town is more likely to make though, at least at this point in the game

didn't cephrir literally just say he would split the hoods like this

I mean he said he might avoid Pooky ig, but I could see loving these exact hoods as either alignment tbh

My argument isn't "Cephrir wouldn't split the hood like this."

My argument is that, if Cephrir is scum who split the hood like this, I struggle seeing him enter the game with a townread due to hood splits, and then have such complex reasoning on it.

Like I just think Cephrir is a very competent player

and I don't think he would be afraid of this point

I also think that the read on Radja isn't like ironclad

Cephrir could easily walk that back when he needs to, it's just an easy talking point for entering the game with

^^

Scum is the one who actually had to spend pregame thinking about how to divide hoods, right? So any sort of "here is a thought out read based on hood divisions" is not unlikely to get negative attention.

Well, then he surely wouldn't have trouble coming up with alternative talking points. If he's scum, it feels like a move made from someone who wants to get into the game, but doesn't know how, so they fake reads based on things they've already thought about.

Granted, maybe he's actually a genius because I'm falling for it.

I don't think he really has come up with alternative talking points yet. Which is fine, I'm not scum reading him for that.

but I do think what he has posted so far is largely NAI

Lucian did you know there is an obscure Frenchmade digital ccg called eredan and the starting character Mario character is named Lucian and like the starting character in a game with unlockables tends to be bad but he is like surprisingly decent because his subtheme is equipment and equipment is kind of strong in the game in general the cards fight eachother for 2, 3, or 4 rounds generally and if you can use block effects go make your equipment modify 4 rounds of combat then that's strong also Lucian was the warrior type with like rogue and mage the good cards were rare and warrior has nice commons that's how it goes Lucian always was holding his sword like his elbow doesn't go past ninety degrees but it looked dope
