Tbh. I donā€™t.

I know it works against what I said, but Iā€™m more busy with selecting design for my new house.

I cc Trochi.

Eagerly awaiting the follow-up (even if Iā€™m not really expecting much tbh).

As for Light, I actually think Iā€™m liking him more after he tried to interrogate me.
Didnā€™t feel like he was doing it in bad faith (after he clarified), and I donā€™t think a wolf in his position would go for the angle on me of all people in this gamestate (I donā€™t quite see the reason, as heā€™d know it would be pointless and potentially weird).

I highly suspect that wagons yesterday ended up being just v/v/v since clonedā€™s wagon composition doesnā€™t inspire confidence at all.
Iā€™d never flip cloned before people like TL and dota I think.

(also dota never getting any real attention is noted).

Lol thread reads or smn

I won't subject people to scrolling quotes

I actually canā€™t really argue that this sort of hands-off attitude isnā€™t anything atypical for PKR (even if I could find it wolfy for someone else).
The mention of liking their role is actually slightly villagery imo (as itā€™d soft lock him into claim if heā€™s a wolf, and overall villagers tend to talk about their role more freely than wolves in situations where they donā€™t really need to, from my experience).

Eh, the postā€™s reads are a bit on the generic side, even though I donā€™t necessarily hate them (but just a bit boring, I guess, and Iā€™m not sure why these people in particular, especially Ami?)
But meh, itā€™s fine, I guess.

Not sure I like how PKR presents Cent vs Leafia as dichotomy, as if Cent being towny makes Leafia look worse (would make Cent/Leafia V/V if PKR were a wolf).

Would be looking if any such contradictions were found by him tbh. (were they?)

Hm, I donā€™t think this sort of hedge is really scummy as it might be showing that PKR did consider Vulā€™s post carefully instead of just making a big townread on him (which he could totally settle up for if he wanted to, and I think heā€™d probably prefer that? Especially since Vul is obvious when heā€™s town and thereā€™s little benefit putting this sort of shade for scum imo).
Overall the post is alright.

The post feels more or less genuine with how he tries to help min get into the game (or at least, in a way that I would say is absolutely never w/w fwiw, but leaning towards coming from a villager perspective tbh).

The post on Windward is fine (I like the admittance of possibly getting biased, gives a feel indicative of more transparent thought imo).

This reminds me to ask what PKR thinks about dota currently, because I didnā€™t feel that dota was playing in their town meta.

(eh Iā€™ll try to look only at posts that stand out to me in some way)

Thatā€™s actually probably a towny feeling to have lol.

Not sure I completely like how PKR approaches cloned and majora here (pointing out things against them, but then calling them misguided, but not really comitting to their defense I feel? Idk)

I can relate to this feeling easily, I guess (which is good, maybe? At least maybe it makes the previous post make more sense).

I like the ratā€™s push (irregardless of whether I agree or not), just for the fact that itā€™s a completely original push at the very least (and itā€™s decently nuanced).

I donā€™t agree with their take on TL, but I donā€™t necessarily think itā€™s bad per se. At least, I can believe PKR believed in it.

I think the perspective of wanting to protect TL is consistent in how his EoD has progressed.
Thatā€™s it for D1.

Overall I think PKR is probably town? At the very least, I think there were a few posts that he probably wouldnā€™t have made as scum (or at least, I think that would be unlikely coming from scum), and I donā€™t really remember now what I particularly disliked about their EoD (I think their progression was fine and consistent).

I do want to know what he wants to push today exactly.

Ok, sure, but it wouldnā€™t hurt to know whatā€™s going through your head at least.

Thatā€™s why I asked.

Marshal is not allowed to replace in due to being a spectator now. So ignore this, Marshal.

let me catch up to about 2k posts

I like this post actually

What is your opinion on how people progressed into other peoples wagons/reactions or whatever?

Have fun with that :joy_cat:

Summary

Idk, attitude-wise Iā€™d probably call this opening more towny than not (even if thatā€™s a weak read, but hey). Because it shows more of perspective of wanting to have suspicions on others rather than existing (which from level of WiM gorta has would be about the only thing heā€™d be able to manage).
I donā€™t think Iā€™d actually be considering amount of content for reading gorta tbh.

(I actually think that I once was looking through gortaā€™s scum and town games and one of the things was that as a wolf he tries to push agenda from early on to some extent (or at least tries to force himself to make some stances) while as town he gets hedgy and hesitates much more.

Eh, the push on eevee might be somewhat reminding me of that (and also the fact that surely gorta knows eevee enough to know itā€™s NAI for eevee)?
At least having first scumread for posting LW jokes seems a bit easy read to make.

Could be whatever, but the reason for the suspicion is kinda the same (which is a bit repetitive).

If thatā€™s a read based on initial impression, then why any sort of confidence?
ā€œIf he keeps going this wayā€ I mean, sure, but then why not wait and see instead of declaring ā€œconfidenceā€?

Why not push them for lynch (also noting gorta/eevee as obviously not w/w at this point).

Thatā€™s a pretty wolfy post, especially several hours before EoD (I could see wolf!gorta making it if he has little grasp on the thread and isnā€™t motivated much). And pretty weird to be uninterested at Eod when thatā€™s the most important time in the day basically.
But sure, he seems to have made some opinions after that.

Basically a hedge and a non-read.

I donā€™t like them, I hate a gimmick, their posts are forced, but claim is good and we shouldnā€™t lynch them?
Donā€™t think Iā€™m a fan of this post as it has simultaneously soft defense of Majora for their claim and listing the wolfy things they did? As if gorta was in his heart encouraging his wagon while saying something that he could later say ā€œBut I was against itā€.

Thatā€™s I guess sorta kinda fine. Pretty weak though.

I donā€™t think gorta/TL are w/w based on this either fwiw (as TL was in real danger before the initial EoD deadline).
And itā€™s the vote that I remember disliking at the time too.

Actually a good question to ask is why gorta was trusting Mist at all at that point? Mistyx wasnā€™t in townreads gorta had. In fact, I donā€™t think gorta mentioned Mistyx at all before that point?

What the fuck lol, gorta said Eli was giving them town vibes just few posts beforeā€¦
And itā€™s a terrible thing to ask, ā€œAre we CFDā€™ing Eli nowā€, as if only cares to follow the flow of the thread.

I actually thinkg gorta is probably scum now :confused:

popping in for a few seconds just to say that i like arctic exploring other options during their eod
they iso and scumread gorta, they list sculptor as an option (although it seems out of nowhere but i havenā€™t been able to read arcticā€™s full iso again to figure out where that came from), and i donā€™t really hate their end vote on majora
it felt like a resigned vote on a wagon that actually existed, after gorta gained 0 traction
admittedly, arctic didnā€™t vote gorta, but i didnā€™t initially vote arctic either, so i kinda understand that

not sure how to feel about arctic barely commenting about any of the top wagon options, though
he barely said anything about eli and he only commented on majora when it was basically the last moment to do something
never said a word about tl as far as i can see in his iso
never said a word about cloned either and didnā€™t seem to mind the wagon dying

tl;dr i like arcticā€™s interest in pursuing new avenues during last eod, especially considering we ended up wagoning two villagers
i dislike the fact he had so little interest in the main wagons he didnā€™t comment on these people at all
at all

People can look at this.

And they can also ask themselves why did gorta trust Mistyx all of a sudden at that EoD.
Trust enough to follow them to CFD the slot gorta was townleaning about half an hour before that.

And also gorta didnā€™t seem interested in pushing his own scumread, like, at all? When it mattered.

But I do think the progression he had EoD is just kinda laughable really anyway (laughable in ā€œitā€™s extremely wolfyā€ way).

/vote gorta @Wazza @CRichard564

Would go here for now, as holy crap, I really do feel about this one more strongly than about anything else.

Iā€™d think more at some point if I should let it affect my reads on TL and such. (but Iā€™ll repeat that TL/gorta are most likely not w/w from the vote gorta placed just before the ā€œfirstā€ EoD).

in case someone doesnā€™t see what the problem with that is
it implies a lack of investment in yesterdayā€™s eod
and if youā€™re a wolf during yesterdayā€™s eod, you see the town wagon two villagers, and you pog hard, but you donā€™t have to do anything, really.
in that sense, the only thing arctic did was cast a resigned vote on majora and nothing else
which isnā€™t a great look unless heā€™s a villager who resigned himself to having the day end with wagons he considered bad
which isā€¦ eh? i havenā€™t considered arctic the type of player who passively accepts bad play of his town teammates. iā€™d like to see at least some commentary regarding the wagons, maybe some defending or pushing for the options he suggested instead of the consensus he apparently didnā€™t agree with

Ok, if you are here, Iā€™d like you to address your EoD in detail.

i kinda vibe with this take

where do you stand regarding whoā€™s town?

probably the worst thing there but itā€™s not the most inspiring iso to begin with
