Open 898: Don't Fall In The Volcano! | Game Over!

[Dannflor]

I don't know with Klick I like instantly felt that something was off about how he was posting

he did later say that he was trying to incorporate elements of poker or something into his gameplay which i thought maybe explained the difference and he was intentionally trying to play more reserved

but idk at this point i am leaning back towards klick mimicking his town game as opposed to actually being town.

This? Then I don't get what made you go "oh klick is town for *reasons*"

i thought klick had started intentionally playing more reserved and was not playing to get town read, which made me think he was town

i didn't explain forever mostly just because i was annoyed by your posting and wanted to annoy you back

i am very mature

Okay fine

My read on Klick is basically the read you had earlier - everything he did this game doesn't look very good optically and I don't think scum would play like that. For instance I am pretty sure that scum would feel compelled to react to the fact of two people strongly reading Black as scum on page 2 and outting her at E-1, because scum need to position themself. On further thought it *could* be a scum player with a more passive playstyle who prefers to wait and see how things develop before committing to a read, but Klick mentioned that he is VERY aware of how he is perceived as both alignments in Swinger's Hall - it doesn't make sense to me that he would make such a serious blunder as scum as looking non-commital and casually continuing the conversation with Neko while Black is being voted.

Other than this, I felt I was mibdmelding with his reads, or at least digging his thought process, with like 90% of his posts. He does NOT make over explainy posts but just puts his thoughts down casually, in an organic way, and the thoughts feel organic.

Sounds like it

UNVOTE: Dann[/un]

I think this feels like town!Dann from my experience.

[DragonEater70]

Amazing.

[Dannflor]

do you have recent thoughts on claptastik

[Dannflor]

i think it's interesting that fakegod stopped pushing his counterwagon, and is not pushing anyone at all now

kinda feels unintuitive if he's scum

[DragonEater70]

do you have recent thoughts on claptastik

Unfortunately not

Probably tomorrow when I get to doing a proper catchup.

I find it hilarious how similar we seem to be

UNVOTE: Dann[/un]

I think this feels like town!Dann from my experience.

To elaborate, scum!Dann is concerned about positioning a lot, which I am not seeing here at all. Also while I disagree with some of his thoughts, he does have a solvy energy that shines through.

[Dannflor]

I am feeling like I have a decent amount of town reads that I feel somewhat comfortable in but my feelings about who is scum are increasingly fuzzy

Black's reasons for townreading Claptastik are fine - but idk that they do a lot for me. without any prior experience with Clap I am kind of assuming that he is someone who will do meta research and use that within game regardless of alignment.

if [black, dragon, klick] are town

that leaves [nekolover, fakegod, kawaiikeme, skygazer, claptastik]

of that group i feel best about skygazer and worst about kawaiikeme/claptastik

nekolover and fakegod i am having an extremely hard time sorting

[Klick]

I think if we yeet {FakeGod, Claptastik, KawaiiKame} into the sun the game will end fwiw

[Dannflor]

yeah i guess im fine with that poe

[Dannflor]

i keep coming back to how strange of a post 577 is

[Black]

Yeah I'm not familiar with kawaii efforting this hard. It kinda feels like he's artificially trying to town it up

I want to look back over the couple of games we played together to make sure I'm not misremembering but I won't be able to do that until I get off work

[DragonEater70]

*Dann post*

What was your objective / thought process with this post? Were you trying to figure out Dann's alignment? Were you trying to case him? Or...?

Yeah I'm used to Kawaii asking short questions about reads and providing very little commentary.

But I can't say this change is for sure AI, it feels more like a fundamental change in playstyle

[Claptastik]

what does everyone think of 577

This isn't a good answer but honestly when I try to read a kawaii post I get a headache, my eyes glaze over, and I end up skimming. Our brains just don't work the same.

[Claptastik]

I'm gonna be honest, this game has mentally overloaded me and even after rereading the posts I have no clue outside of my earlier sus of klick/dann which is even a very weak thought

It takes a while to learn the game.

[FakeGod]

He's done no scumhunting. He acted like he was scumhunting by making a big deal about the page 2 E-1, which really wasn't a big deal.

You are wrong, sir.

Just because you don't believe it was a big deal, doesn't mean you get to tell people I've done no scumhunting.

My case may have collapsed, but not because I was wrong in identifying the action as anti-town move, but because it turns out Klick does anti-town things regardless of his alignment.

[FakeGod]

i think it's interesting that fakegod stopped pushing his counterwagon, and is not pushing anyone at all now

I rather be right and dead, then be wrong and alive.

Being dead is temporary. Post-game is forever.

Which would make sense if his team is in a bad spot

[Klick]

Is FakeGod trying to bait me into an argument about anti-town play lmao

Explain.
