picking things up from page 40 where i went to bed last night:

Ness's posts make me feel pretty townish overall imo. I feel like he's been generating pretty good content when he's been present and I like his interaction here with Heyden in particular. It's not strong but slight townlead imo
What about me do you think is "townish" exactly? fyi Not complaining about a townread, i'm just genuinely curious why you think that way bc if ur townleaning me i'd prefer more of an explanation
Arstotzkan said:
well damn, I didn't know u could go from townleaning him to hard scumleaning him in an instant
:thinking:
hooray now i get to read dad's huge mind**** of a text wall, probably going to say things that other people have said bc i'm analyzing without reading posts after it on page 40 so w/e
Dad said:
When did I towntell glow? If I say nothing about them it's called a null, ****bird. Putting words in my mouth isn't going to help push your shallow case here.
Endless never said you were townleaning glow, he said that you ignored her.
Dad said:
The point about Ness not being an ace scumhunter neglects the exact ****ing point I was making about why I listed him as choice experienced player to put as mafia: it's not about him being an ace scumhunter, it's about him having shown he can pull through as mafia or third party, which he has demonstrated on multiple occasions here on tbt.
Yeah sure, I would say that I can hold my own as mafia. But your ENTIRE point here is going off of what you think would be going through the host's mind when picking roles. How can you know that Toads doesn't pick randomly? Exactly: you don't know that at all. I think the """Godfather Theory""" is piece of crap and does nothing but waste time. You've basically admitted here that the ONLY reason you had to be suspicious of me initially was because you were going off of host meta.
What was you're original reason for susing me exactly? Not going after anyone in the first 12 hours of the game while i'm asleep? PUH-LEASE. You seemed pretty confident that I was the experienced player on the mafia team for literally 0 other reasoning then basing an assumption off of how you think the host would lump me into what category of balance.
Dad said:
Astro/SarasKat not seeing that Ness is at least one of the more experienced players of the bunch is surprising considering she ran mystic messenger and a number of players in the game tipped their hats to Ness for his play there after he flipped.
Okay sure, it was a good play as
Jester, but you're
STILL using host bias. I don't give a monkey's left nut about host balancing, if you actually think someone is suspicious then have a better reason then just saying "oh they're experienced so they might be mafia in this group of people".
Dad said:
This is going to get annoying because it's only going to inflame the alignments that seem to be forcing themselves on me in this game but I agree with glow not liking Astro's sudden flip on me. Astro casually read me as town for my post but as soon as one of the biggest voices swoops in to make a case against me she suddenly turns around and is like 'oh woops I read Dad wrong, going to reread him now!'
It's going to come off as an omgus but I suspect astro as mafia. A lot more than Endless even. Despite him being back on his bull****.
Alright, I can agree with you that I do find Kat to be suspicious for doing a complete 180 on you.
Dad said:
Astro, I'll drop the topic after making one last statement on it: I recall Ness being able to get a fast lynch on evan in BotW mafia. So I've seen him lead too. But I digress because ya'll trying to use the argument that Ness is an incapable player against me is pretty dumb.
HMMMM I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I LEAD THAT LYNCH. OH YEAH, I USED TOAD'S HOST META AND EVAN TURNED OUT TO BE VETERAN.
Yeah sure, I can get a crowd riled up from time to time. So what? The point here isn't that people are saying i'm "incapable" or "not experienced", the point here is that you're using host bias to base an entire point around me.
Honestly I've spent the last 45 minutes slowly reading and typing this crap and its only hurting my head/eyes. I have a chirstmas party to prepare for at 7 and here I am reading back and forth bickering about whether or not people consider me experienced.
Clearly it seems I can't message people without it being openly discussed in the thread. Whatever. I'm voting dad becuase I like Endless' case on him.
This makes me...uncomfortable. It seems like Farobi has just been flying under the radar for the majority of the game, it must be easy to play sheep huh? Can we all take a minute to recognize that Farobi has done basically nothing this game and has focused solely on making connections through PMs? Thanks.
You know if I'm being 100% honest, I'm doubting that Dad is mafia. The fact that basically everyone is jumping on him makes me uncomfortable in general.
Ok, I TR Dedenne, but she seems a little different then the last two games where she was town.
God, do you just townread and scumread people like picking out candy or something? Your posts have little to no consistency to them.
I don't think I'll be on tomorrow cos I have to help family prepare for a Christmas party but I actually feel super uncomfortable with everyone jumping on Dad and think that Endless/Kat maybe glow is more likely pulling the strings here. I will say though this is the first time I'm not townreadinf Dad early on. Also Farobi, who's more interested in 'making alliances' than scumhunting, which gives me scum vibes. Don't think Punchy lynch will happen and I don't really feel it either.
As for Zendel/Vanessa/Ness, was mostly based on tonal differences but yeah I dunno I sort of just jumped on them based on first.
Okay, I absolutely LOVE the fact that heyden brought up Farobi here, I was just thinking the exact same thing. While I'm not really sold on Kat/Endless being behind the scenes right now, I really like this post. +1 to Heyden.
The reason I was PMing people is to probe deeper the things that could be said differently if in a more public setting, aka this thread. There are more people I initiated PMs with who are not what you may call the "easily manipulated" players fyi since I'm really working on town's best efforts individually as well with the information I'm trying to get for myself. I would do it in the thread but probing individually seems to be more personal, but judging from many of the replies I get they either seem hesitant or give me closed-off vibes so it's nothing for me to be able to delve into yet.
Would someone whose received a PM of Farobi possibly post it in the thread just so we can see what he's saying? Ty
And it's also ironic that you mention I'm not scum hunting when i'm pretty much the only person whose pretty sold with my vote atm lol. Not saying it's not subject to change but right now i see dad more sus than kat at the moment, cause i can see kat's posts from a town perspective moreso than dad.
Buut if we're not going for them, I'd be down for a dedenee lynch honestly. If she turns out scum, then it's very likely punchy is scum along with her too.
Okay, sure. But you have done basically NOTHING this game but sheep. Why scumhunt through PMs when you can quite easily just ask them in the thread? I feel like it would be much more beneficial to do things the old fashioned way instead of using solely using the PM system. And lol @dedenne lynch, literally nobody has stated a word about wanting to lynch Dedenne, since when did you have a sus on her?
I'm going to stop myself from doing any more analysis on this post for the last 3 pages i need to catch up on since this is becoming way too much of a text wall :sighs:
