Why would anyone be voting a townread on day 1? I get compromising on a null read. But if he thinks you're t v t, gob should be trying to make peace.
What. Day 1 is one of the only days you can get away with voting a townread. Anyway you are basically right. It is bad practice.
Do you normally want to get away with voting townreads as town?
Well first off I think my way of playing is flawed. Its not optimal. But i have an easier time reading after a flip. Statistically it doesnt really matter which alignment dies day 1(generally)
Even in cop setups
But its not optimal cause you want to always be gunning for scum basically. But i am too lazy to do that. Plus its hard
If hunting scum is hard why not just shrug exe a null slot instead of sheeping people to vote for a townread?

kyouko's play/reads felt convenient
I think the fact I didn't vibe with kyouko when I tried to directly engage is scum-indicative
Titus play is also not gelling with me, Titus is like the first person I ever learned to read via vibe check
I think the wagon formation things she's pointing out actually make her look worse potentially
she's voting my n0

No. You'd play this way to look good and avoid a cop while my wagon turns on itself.

btw quick question, have you been tracking who's dropped cop cover/posted an obvious read as their n0? Cause if you haven't you should and see if you still have this read after

i still have titus sorted into catching up with the gamestate after replacing
which is usually a way to get good immunity from me voting
but it has been very extended now and titus has been sort of present
the fact we have five days right now would normally make me continue with my stance of not considering voting titus but
this gamestate is
not good at all
we need a flip
i have someone i would prefer of course but i fail to see that happening
so uh
intent to hammer in the morning if the fact fire is pushing people to hammer without realizing it is does not give anyone pause
p-edit
uhhh was my count wrong or
We are not ending the day while gob slot is still missing a n0

If she claims cop we just treat her as flipped scum until the real cop claims, or if no real cop claims until day before ELo then I guess she's the real cop.
She can stay alive, still a scumclaim

what? I literally said that it isn’t since the n0 is random
You're not getting it; if the n0 is random then kyoko announcing you as her n0 after the Gamma/Python fight means that her n0 is almost certainly a read

there is always a chance that someone rolls a n0 they can read well normally
though i would think titus does more if they were cop
also ack
we now have two people with intent to hammer stated
Chances of any given VT being a cops n0 is 1/12, in practice most of the time you're not gonna be lucky enough to have your n0 line up with someone who's town that has been given an opportunity to be visibly sorted and that you can also read well normally

@python, are you sure? Like, I feel okayish at reading half of this playlist? And then getting a result on someone you can't read is surely better?
Getting a n0 on someone you can't read is good in the sense that you get an extra person in the towncore but bad in the sense that you can't just pass it off as a read meaning your n0 sticks out in the sea of people dropping a n0 on visible consensus townreads and you get shot

this
this is not the percentage you care about though
the percentage you care about is the chances of it being on someone you can read well
then just wait until you have a good opportunity to town read them and drop the n0 inno at that point
We're gonna shelf this argument until later cause we're starting to realise most of this PL doesn't know how to seer hunt well and at this point we're doing scums job for them

I have voted out Titus in like my last 2-3 games with her.
Recent one I was scum.
She even referenced this early as she joined and that she wouldn't let me get away with mislimming her again.
Yet, she has done zero sorting me. Even though been voting her all day. Made posts about her being scum. Etc.
So you want to tell me she is both town, and does zero sorting me even though I recently mislimmed her when she was town and i was scum?
Doesn't care what alignment I am?
Ignores my constant pushing.
Comes back and does random pushes on Hua Tao or w/e is latest posts going on to comment on.
I feel like I should be a big elephant in the room for Titus to sort and solve, but 0 effort. Even though I don't think I have moved my vote at all from her since she has joined this game.
Put yourself in her shoes for one minute and pretend I just mislimmed you when i was scum. We are in this game and I am calling you to be elimmed, I make posts about you. Do you comment on anything I say? do you have a stance on me?
What do you do?
Tell me.
There this is best case I am going to make on Titus right now.

I've had a good night's sleep and then a chill day, and now the bakery inside my mind is operating in full cpacity, and all my thoughts are fully baked.
tbh this is like the least reliable way to read someone because the last time I read sakura this way she was mafia

So these posts, like I said before, pinged me as scummy and not really putting thought into the game in a way that I hadn't seen town!Ari do.

i am pretty sure black is town and willing to put her in w/e name i give to my town core group whenever i come up with a name for it.
why is naerys or hu tao scummy for u even if u want to give a sentence or somethin
naerys feels like she's selfconscious and focussed on how she appears in the game
hu tao rule of 3 from naerys post and her content feels ? she mentions reading a few times but has no content on what she's read
black because she's hu tao's inno result and also she feels so cool and collected when she gets pushed here, some of her comments feel p out of place with her progressions.

idk if ur doing a really good job of telling me a good version of what u think i will think is a good reason to call me townie or u really believe it. If its fake its pretty good ngl
its not a great reason to call someone town its a p bad reason for a read tbh but I'm unlikely to actually commit more effort to this game because I want to be more casual and less tryhardy to enjoy the game more. I don't want people to get mad at me for being too suffocating.
In post 834, Aristeia wrote:
i might even throw meuh in as a 4th scumread but that feels LAZY and I can't read her for shit lol
And these posts kinda pinged town. And I did agree that there was something off about Naerys play this game (more on this later). However, despite the fact that these posts are towny in a vacuum, I still felt this is scum!Ari by meta.
So I actually went and did meta research on Ari, or at least tried to because apparently she only has one scum game on this site aside from Fruit Mafia. But anyway the point is I did look at her town games and apparently Ari is not ALWAYS a tryhard townie, there's also a laid back version of town!Ari that wants to be carried (for example in the game "The Coalition, Again"). So this makes the entire meta scumread on her invalid tbh.
I also liked these posts and I think they are very similar to something Ari posted as town in Coalition of Frogs (Open 887):
In post 835, Firebringer wrote:
what is my record for reading black? Is it 2/3 or 2/4 or what is it even at this point. I think Black progressions make sense for her? But she is just feeling like a different player and i guess thats just the mood/feeling in the game/day for her.
this is directly at me and asking me to join her roleplay group and vote for RCE - which is kind of a way to defend Naerys because she's asking me to move from one suspect to another. I turned her down because I liked RCE's response in 289 because it felt like a very spontaneous and fun response to make in the moment - she then responds in 301 which is ?
like does she still think RCE is mafia at that point? does she like my read progression on RCE? if she does why's she still voting for him?
then she votes me at 735 and clarifies in 747 that she thinks I was pocketing her? which doesn't really make sense to me because like I turned her down in our brief interaction so I'm not sure how I was pocketing her.
I dont even know if she's town but she does have that Queen energy down
I guess it was this
ok but if I'm mafia and posting that to pocket her and she offers me to join her court and vote a suspect of mine wouldnt it make sense for me to uh join her court and help her if that was my goal?
Anyways, I also skimmed Naerys ISO and I felt she hasn't been really solving this game. However, in both Mini Normal 2316 and Mini Theme 2318, she was also not really solving early. And she did do SOME solving this game. So I think I'm fine with not calling Naerys scum right now.
Hmm it kinda feels like I had more to say about Naerys but tbh I don't really. K let me post this and then go read the ~8 pages I'm missing.

which is: you, black/drew, meuh, ari, and python
i could be convinced on yessiree but im just not even seeing a solid case.
yes man's just the kind of player you have to vibe read for genuineness vs feeling like he has a mask on, we don't really have an in depth case beyond that

I asked people earlier to refute my townread on uP’s early game, that request is still open since I don’t really see the scum agenda to uP’s current play, this just feels like knee jerk reactions
I haven't read UP's early game but I saw an omgus and then basically a tantrum. That behavior would be NAI but for the timing.
Who'd we omgus?
