CB you seem to be around right now, do you want to do a thread dive with me?


RE: The Wander Island Incident - Day Two: Cold Dawn [18/21] - Coldblooded - 08-31-2018

I'm probably not gonna be up for more than an hour or so, but sure I guess. Any part in particular?

Wanna look into sai, numbers, nta and pilot more

Hi.

Quote:what do you think of Airey

One thing I want to point out in #544 is Airey's justification for voting Solaris - it's based on people who are claiming death-activated roles and thinking Solaris is third party. I don't agree that Solaris's actions are indicative of 3P and I would not take a sarcastic (?) Solaris post at face value as proof of anything.

Other than that it's theorycrafting about AC, a comment on Beru's recent replacement, and commentary on the number of on-death roleclaims. I'm not fond of calling Solaris their top priority based on that without saying much of anything about why the other options are less preferred.

And something that just now stands out to me: Airey mentions BlazerC looks like scum but wants to prioritize their 3P read on Solaris - why?

Vote: Airey

Quote:and are Solaris and AC still your top scumreads?

aC yes. Their detached play still has me suspecting it's a way to put pressure on ice. Solaris a little less so. The people who followed my vote onto them do not look good and I can't continue to hold out on thinking Solaris/aC are coaligned since at this point scum!Solaris would be dedicated to throwing their teammate under the bus.

(Solaris' overall tone (their posting voice, persay) does not strike me as totally scummy, but it's definitely not a town tone to me. Based purely on reactions to things, I would say some replies are solidly not town.)

--

Note: I have no desire to superanalyze what transpired between Acio/Seedy. The bulk of that exchange, as a semantics/meta argument, has no interest to me. I agree with Acio's stance on role logistics, and I did not think that most of the purported death-role "claims" were legitimate to begin with (BlazerC I do think is legitimate, aC never explicitly made the claim and instead goes for the anticlaim, Solaris was def. joking, Schazer has been joking about it since D1 and they're playing an evasive game regardless).

A perfectly fair assessment! If you wanted to press the issue, you could well claim that my posting this "in response" to claims of inactivity is itself damning, which it would be! If I weren't... like this by nature. I'm more about puns and linguistic twists than freshly squeezed humors in any case, though judging by plural-your bloodlust, that'll be another point against me, mm?

heh.

Response here feels way too self aware. What's the phrase, "Irony is just sincerity with plausible deniability", something like that?

Also strongly not reading this as a thing teamed scum says

Unrelated: Airey 141 is points towards being unaligned with slorange.

The fact that Granola picked on you, for instance, and straight up ignored numbers mattered more to me than the fact that numbers' post was basically a worse version of yours.

And yes, this was interesting. To be honest, I was kind of expecting to get at least one or two votes from my pressuring when I saw everyone disappointed and disapproving of both me and Q's pressuring. Maybe it was because it seemed I already had enough votes, maybe because the long post gathered more attention.

This is self aware in a town way. No "haha you just can't understand me", it's more curious as to why nothing happened.

In what world is you just lying down on the train tracks better then actually trying to get a scum lynched? This doesn't read to me like someone who's genuinely trying to get town more information, it reads like someone who just other players say that the best defense was no defense and decided to take it to heart. Leaving your vote on Blazer and saying that you don't care if you die doesn't read like an exasperated townie to me, if feels like scum trying to placate.

If you had a gun that could kill any one player right now, who would it be AC?

Given that basically every player’s made some sort of comment on me and that I’ve been so entrenched in the discussion it would be helpful to town which way I flip, no? Do you not agree, considering your vote’s on me?

Ah, I should probably take that vote off huh

Instead I’ll switch it to numbers vote: numbers, which is the answer to your last question. And then, in order of (roughly) descending scumminess - Airey, Granola

I somehow wonder if that last question of yours is supposed to be like “okay you claimed to have no on death role but if you totally DID have one who would you bring with you”


RE: The Wander Island Incident - Day Two: Cold Dawn [18/21] - Coldblooded - 08-31-2018

Numbers: Still looks about as bad as yesterday honestly. Voted for both Sai and NTA D1 in non-bussy looking votes, probably not aligned with either.

Pilot: Actually looks better than I was expecting reading all his posts in a row rather than just in individual worddumps. Easily has the least opportunistic/scummy votes on the Solaris wagon. I'd call him likely town for now.

You already know which way you're going to flip though, what information are we supposed to gain from your death that YOU don't already have yourself?


RE: The Wander Island Incident - Day Two: Cold Dawn [18/21] - Acionyx - 08-31-2018

I'd personally die for numbers but that's up to the replacement who's taking over after this convo ends

“Airey” Wrote:blazerC is looking like scum and Solaris is still screaming third party.

like pilot mentioned...if you really do think these things then why are you voting solaris and not blazer

also while I still don’t get a good gut feeling on blazer’s posts I don’t see why scum would come in on a wagon that was well on its way and say “lynch me instead,” that’s just another layer of scrutiny that they don’t need

A perhaps better answer, then, is one who's been relatively active in discussions but has otherwise managed to avoid the bead of scrutiny, which may get us slightly farther than directly reinforcing or refuting analysis that has already been performed. Don't have anyone in particular in mind, though.

It would also be good to know, supposing the existence of some hypothetical detectives, what of flavor detective they are (supposing non-standard detectives are A Thing in this setup), but the only conclusive ways I can think to test that is to reveal the alignment of someone who later dies, which isn't helpful in the short-term, or to have my own alignment revealed, which only enlightens me. Unless I claim, but would only open more cans of worms, and I refuse to rise to the bait.

Yeah NTA's a good lynch. Volunteering an answer was something I liked but ultimately they don't say anything and the whole thing still reads with that taste of over-awareness.

Don't think I can endorse numbers as town hard enough especially after their comment that they read the guide several times. Play feels like naturally tentative towny, the pharmacy interaction is too strange for scum. Like what's happening there, come up with a super weak reason to join a lynch that numbers promptly leaves soon after? Versus actually being curious what sai was up to and getting their answer. Town.

Sai mostly reads like a Good Player with the caveats that comes with but lean town because of this:

Show Content

The confusion+workthrough feels town. It's something I /have/ seen scum fake before but it's a very effort intensive style that I don't think is the first place scum would go with in this game and especially on day one.

Also a minor thing but their don't townread me/pharmacy comment feels unnecessary for scum.

Pilot: vOv


RE: The Wander Island Incident - Day Two: Cold Dawn [18/21] - Acionyx - 08-31-2018

CB any questions or clarifications because if no then I'm out


RE: The Wander Island Incident - Day Two: Cold Dawn [18/21] - Coldblooded - 08-31-2018

Yeah sorry, I'm not getting all that much from NTA or Sai atm, might have to go over them again later when I'm not quite so tired.

Okay Final questions: Do you still have a scumread on Seedy?

Do you think Airey or Solaris is more likely scum?

Most likely scum on the D1 LQ wagon?

Can't honestly say for sure on seedy, I ignored her stuff on the readthrough because the whole situation is frustrating. If I were staying in I'd drop it and go for NTA/Schazer or to answer the second question Airey. I can't say I've made an active effort to read solaris but Airey's vote thing recently and the mix of advocating for a day one lynch and not really doing anything is something.

Quote:Most likely scum on the D1 LQ wagon?

Like, granola/solaris are candidates but I can't say I have hard feels for either one of them, the whole thing /can/ be town and it would be in line with way the day went.

There's not a really good reason to fake that interaction to vote and then unvote someone, what does that actually get you? Posts? Numbers actually being interested and getting an answer is much more plausible.


RE: The Wander Island Incident - Day Two: Cold Dawn [18/21] - Acionyx - 08-31-2018

Schazer reading that interaction as scummy is also the biggest thing I dislike about them materially.


RE: The Wander Island Incident - Day Two: Cold Dawn [18/21] - Coldblooded - 08-31-2018

Okay, I can mostly see where you're coming from with Numbers, and if they're town I like Airey even less than I did before.

I'm starting to feel like either the majority of the scumteam was lurking/sitting on oneoffs D1, or else I need to recalibrate some of my townreads soon.

Thanks for staying on awhile longer to give your thoughts Acio. o7

do you mean why is palamedes the one that I replaced or do you mean why is palamedes a suspect at all? The first is because as you say it's the weakest suspicion on my list. The second is because my read on them has been so aggressively null this game, which is far enough from how I have to remember their Town play beings that I wanted my suspicion concretely noted early in the thread.


RE: The Wander Island Incident - Day Two: Cold Dawn [18/21] - SleepingOrange - 08-31-2018

half remember their town play being* God I wish I had a keyboard


RE: The Wander Island Incident - Day Two: Cold Dawn [18/21] - Sai - 08-31-2018

Well, I'm really disappointed that Acio actually got frustrated into quitting. Not just because they were a big driver for actual stuff to be happening, but also because this is my first serious mafia game in like 7? 8? years, and I've actually enjoyed it so far, from what little I've put into it.

So anyways, first of all I'm going to Unvote. I don't think that Blazer is scum for effectively volunteering to die for a lynch on AC. When they were like "Yeah, sure, lynch me" when they got a handful of votes on them, I was like "THIS IS OVERACTING" and was full in on their being scum, but their wanting to actually use their gun makes that actually make sense. I still dislike their reasoning for town-ing me, but that's much less of a push than the death thing.

Now that that's done, I'ma go make another quote wall.

-
These are all AC quotes and I don't know how to feel about them.
Show Content
I dislike that AC shifted their read on Blazer to town without unvoting, and then their reads post was just all over the place off the wall
Show Content
I think Sol actually described it best as 'flailing,' given that his town list was, as far as I can tell, "people who have been making good posts recently" and his scum list was just outright bizarre based on the votes. To me, their posts in this whole area just read as having given up, but, like, I don't know if that's "townie that's given up and just straight up doesn't have a clue who the scum might be" or "scum that feels like they should keep posting." I really, really don't like their leaving their vote on Blazer while claiming to not think they're scum anymore.

I really disagree with Palamedes saying that it's plausibly a kill immunity thing, since AC explicitly stated they didn't expect Blazer to be lynched wrt their claim.

so tl;dr I think their apathy to being lynched is them giving up rather than anything else, which is a null read as far as I'm concerned, and their play had already just been kinda bad enough to make me not want them alive.

That's also why I kinda disagree with Schazer and Acio on saying it makes them townie. Apathy from exhaustion isn't a towntell.

I'm fine with lynching them, but since they're already past the threshold for that and I'm not interested in ending the day early, I won't put a vote on them.

--
Schaz stuff:
Show Content
These are extremely bad posts. There was literally nothing scummy about Acio's posts, since thinking they have a bad meta interpretation should at worst be a null tell. The fact that Granola humored it is equally bizarre to me, and if anything I think the fact that he was noncommittal about it makes it even worse. I'd guess it was a joke if Schaz didn't actually vote for the duder and Granola's hemming over the possibility doesn't look like a joke either.

Laser jumping in with noncontent, and then responses -
Show Content

Laser's post is extremely bad, but Jacq already pointed that out. I also don't like Seedy essentially going "hey good job kid," because that's giving Laser a huge benefit of the doubt that I'm not sure they deserve. They at least asked them to contribute more which is a hey-that's-nice thing, but if Laser's town I feel a lot less good about Seedy.
Show Content

I also just really disagree with Seedy regarding claims, because I just don't think that role stuff is even all that important to hide and the manner in which they share the information can be pretty good for reading. I'm not gonna say we should all mass-claim just yet, but I don't think that roles are nearly as important to hide in a game where everyone's got one, especially if you think your role has any useful evidence to whatever the argument is at hand.

--

Airey's post here is also really bad, actually. I somehow missed this in my first read through the thread, but now that I'm making a quote wall, it's quite possibly the Worst post today. They're just clearly not paying attention, and they're not even internally consistent about who they suspect.
Show Content
Sol's claim was obviously a joke.
Reading Blazer as scum for literally wanting to use a hunter power is wrong and bad.
JW had been roleplaying their role which Slorange said visited him, and while we don't know what that actually means, it's something that isn't worth ignoring if you want to actually bring JW's affiliation up.
Doubling down on wanting to lynch Sol while saying that they think Blazer is mafia makes this even worse, ESPECIALLY when the vote count showed Blazer having votes already.

Vote: Airey

I'm not done yet, but I doubt that I'll stop wanting to lynch Airey from what I remember of the rest of the thread.

--
Slorange -
Show Content
I like most of Slorange's lynch list here except for Palamedes and Numbers, but he swaps Palamedes for Airey which is fine. I don't like that Palamedes was on it at all, but Pala's not like CB in being so clearly and painfully town that anyone that suspects them is suspicious. I've actually been getting more of a townread on Slorange with each post he makes just by virtue of having really similar reads in general, but I might also just be empathizing. I'll call slorange town-lite.

Show Content
I wouldn't, but I do agree with why Acio thinks that they're town.


RE: The Wander Island Incident - Day Two: Cold Dawn [18/21] - Jacquerel - 08-31-2018

I didn’t get to do a better post last night because I decided to play Monster Hunter instead but I could kill Airey right now I think.
I still think I’m ok with aC dying though.

In fact Vote: aC again, I’m not sure I actually ever needed to unvote to start with and if two people come out of nowhere to push this through without a good reason then they will die tomorrow so that’s only a benefit for us.

I still don’t really have a town read on Sol but I’ve disliked so many of the posts trying to vote for her, I guess that could be scum distancing but it wouldn’t be good scum distancing.

I’m maybe gonna vote for Laser if they yet live tomorrow but there isn’t any point right now.

Day ends about 24 hours from now, so if people really believe aC is town (and the only evidence i’ve had to change my mind so far is their apathy to dying, which is true but I also don’t see a better way out for them, given their refusal to commit to anything riskier, than to play dead) then now is the time to make a good case.

Also gives me more time to look at Airey and Laser before night happens again. Seems like it’s about time I had more of an opinion about Schazer and Slorange too.


RE: The Wander Island Incident - Day Two: Cold Dawn [18/21] - Jacquerel - 08-31-2018

I would vote for Airey but:
A) I need to do another reread first
B) I still don’t think aC has been playing town very convincingly
