YOU'RE OVERTHINKING IT

Story of my life.

I still feel like Scared Bear's analysis of the big hood dynamics has too many holes, but I can't help townreading it anyway... Is that silly? I feel like it is.

BEAR POWA

Based on fossil evidence from Russia and Bulgaria, the first known members of the family Procyonidae lived in Europe in the late Oligocene about 25 million years ago. Similar tooth and skull structures suggest procyonids and weasels share a common ancestor, but molecular analysis indicates a closer relationship between raccoons and bears.

[Cephrir]

i'm scumreading cephrir for the above post as well as this one, fyi

[Radja]

My first scalding hot take is that Radja would not have divided the hoods like this and is therefore town

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

To be fair, I pretty much only now you and Cakez. So I have no clue who the "small name players" are.
I suppose that matches into your "veteran player wants to carry the game" strategy though?
I was hoping I'd get some idea about your allegiance here, but nothing really points me in any direction.

I hope I can keep up with the pace of this game. I don't really like reading up too much.

[Radja]

I think Dann and Lucian are town for pg 3

I agree on Lucian, I'm not sure about Dann

[Radja]

^scratch that, you've explained it already

Small Hood: ScaredBear an Lucian are probably town?
Unless:
- Scared Bear is mafia
- wants to make sure we vote in the small hood for the mafia in big hood to have better odds later
- will probably get voted out on day 2 if Somnus happens to be town? But that leaves the big hood wide open, which might be a good call for them.

Or I'm wrong about Lucian..

Big Hood: not a clue tbh

I guess I could vote Somnus, but I'm not convinced eliminating from the small hood is a good idea.

[Lucian]

r u just trying to talk in circles so i'll townread you :V

Thinking back, this kind of confuses me. Do people usually townread talking in circles? Does Cephrir specifically townread it? Was I supposed to know that? How was I even talking in circles there? I didn't feel like I was.

[Lucian]

For the record, this is where I would vote for Somnus, but that'd be E-1 and I dislike the idea of there being an early hammer, even if he does flip scum. So consider this a spiritual vote there.

[Somnus]

I had something come up yesterday that required my immediate attention, and by the time I got caught up, I desperately needed to sleep. I'm town, but I don't think it's the end of the world if I get eliminated here:

Both the people in my neighborhood want me out for uhh...questionable reasons at best (a too long post that was 5 sentences long and apparently I'm performative. I don't know. I always post like this, including when I'm spectating a game, which is something Lucian should know from a couple months ago). Apparently my 4-post ISO from when the game had barely started is awful. Ok. I can live with that. I know one of them is just wrong town though.

Here's where I'm at: If I end up being the elimination today, after I flip, you've got a 50/50 shot at hitting mafia between Lucian and Scared Bear. Even if it's wrong tomorrow, you'll have a confirmed mafia Day 3, the entire small neighborhood wiped out, and in that absolute worst case scenario, guaranteed to at least get to eLo. So even though I'm not celebrating my potential mis-lim here and would have preferred a slightly longer cameo in this game, like...go for it, I guess? It's amazing how silly this setup appeared to me once I actually started going through the scenarios in my head.

(Yes, this post was too long. Scum confirmed.)

[Radja]

Somnus, do you have any reads at all?
Like, if it's not you, it HAS to be either Lucian or ScaredBear. Who are you looking at here?

I'm not convinced lynching in the small hood is a good play here, so I would love to see you put in some effort here and produce some reads.
