Yes i already refuted this point for townreading me because it wasn’t a good one. I literally brought up the points on why doing that was bad.
The times i have done this:
Me, using it to explain why jgoes fits the lvl 2 wolf better than lvl 1 townie…
Me, explaining my agressiveness
(there might have been another time i can’t really remember.
I don’t think Eevee would design a role that encourages slanking. To make it clear I already think the PRs were not randed and that they are designed for each player.
Our post restrictions just try to have us write more informative posts, but that… Unless he planned to get Kai to wallpost somehow.
Giving you a chance then. Having people target you because you are being productive is harsh.
@Arete Since you are the first person I see to strongly V Astand, what do you think about his opening posts?
Yeah, I also agree that Shurian townslipped here. And with him everyone who tried to vote like Max as well, although Max gains more credit since he posted later and scum would have way more time to warn him about that.
How do it screams town!Vul to you?
What is Derp’s meta?
Marshal claimed to break the unanimous post restriction everyone have at first and then revealed that he did not have one, which broke me on why would he know everyone (or town, idk) has a post restriction when he did not have the post restriction passive. For him to gain that knowledge, it would need to come from elsewhere.
I didn’t actually read the thread to see if no one mentioned post restrictions first, I just was there and didn’t remember anyone specifically talking about postcaps, that’s why I didn’t write full blooded that Marshal was mafia — I had to ISO the thread first before concluding that.
But Marshal quoted me where people talked about caps first, which made me retract my read on him as it was based on sand. I have read Marshal earlier as well in a post iirc, if I did not it was because I was at school at the time and tried to write fast asap in the interval (also why I didn’t ISO him before making the post), so I understand if the comment seems poorly explained.
Here it would be better if Marshal + Jgoes answered the discperson (forgot the nickname sorry) question. What did @Marshal wanted to achieve with the reaction test and how would it be scum-indicative? Reactiontesting for the sake of reactiontesting is the thing holding me back on his apparently consensus townieness here, since reaction tests are NAI for him anyway.
Arete made a good point on him being L1 town. I can see that in the context, he kept bitting a hollow bone. But isn’t Jgoes L2?
Which strategy?
thought you were consensus townie lol
Maybe that’s my bias because my gut on you is town but my logicz tell me to wait more until I read you
tone is a bit overly aggressive here and while i don’t know nerbin’s meta due to not having played any games with him for a long while (i think), i’m not liking it because it feels like he’s trying to make simon look bad here
personally, i think it’d make more sense if it was him trying to be extra cautious to not be scumread because i think this is his first game or so since he rejoined the community (?) but i do agree that calling it out in that way was odd bc of how it was phrased - keeping himself safe with that but not really helping anyone else if it’s the case bc town would want to spread that info if they genuinely thought it was the case
perhaps, but i don’t think it’s necessarily ai if it was his second post tbh
would like it if @nerbins posted more (but not going over the pr limit) thx
what is this supposed to mean
pretty sure you’ve played with disquieted before so how do they perform as scum and town? what’s their skill level/what types of posts do they normally make?
honestly just rolled with it bc everyone else was and claiming for no reason is ehh
there still could be tho so /shrug
I honestly think rn that it all ends in pizza if Jgoes is L1
I really thought he was L2, though, and based my reads on that. It has been some time I don’t play on this site and my first game with him is the JOAT9 one.
OOF.
Thank you.
Let me make one of those scale reads because they are cool.
Town
MaximusPrime
Shurian
Astand
Marshal
Jgoes/Mist1522
Luxy/Geyde
Arete/Disquieted
SirDerpsALot
Maxwell
Jake/Alice
Vulgard/Squid
DatBird
Nerbins
Simon
Katze/Firekitten
Kai
Scum
Yep, I’m mostly townhunting than scumhunting that game. I’ll refuse to move Kai until he stops hiding behind his meta to make people townread him on telling people to fuck off and starts playing properly.
Arete bad. Only appealing to players with their wallposts, not solving.
Mercenary bad. Pushing the agenda that Marshal/Jgoes must exist and that we must lynch in them.
A way too great part of that was made on my bored highschooler mind and due to the post restriction it is exhausting to explain everything, so if you want the reasoning behind something in particular just ask me.
If I forgot someone it is because I didn’t put the effort to read them yet lol.
Anyway I think we guys are relying too much on meta in a game made for people to try to do better than their usual metas (if they are self-hurting ones, specially, like the people really easily scumread like last year Hja when they roll scum). Exception here for the NAI ones like Simon mechanics solving and Priestess jumping in front of newbies.
Yep, I agree it looks like Nerbins is shadethrowing.
Most people on that giantblock are the nullreads one which I didn’t actually nullread but didn’t read their posts to a relevant stand.
I’m foccusing on townhunting here rather than wolfhunting. Currently Maxi/Shurian are my towncore and I have to update myself on Astand before deciding if he is just townie or towncored as well.
They don’t really feel scum-motivated to me, to be honest. I think scum would want to effortpost more to appear townie, particularly when everyone else was effortposting; obviously wasting posts doesn’t help town, but it doesn’t feel scum-motivated to me.
This might just be the TMI I had that game talking but it was really obvious FMPOV in LotR that Vul was pushing an agenda hard, and I don’t see that from him here – his solving attempts feel much more legitimate and natural, rather than LotR where he was forcing himself to come to whatever conclusions helped us.
He tryhards way more as scum. I honestly hate this meta because it means we end up townreading him for not trying, but basically as scum he’ll do things like e.g. Isoing people and making serious concentrated pushes and things like that, whereas as town he kind of just spends half the thread making low-effort posts.
Makes sense.
Marshal’s been pushing the Jgoes-as-L2 narrative; he hasn’t had a scumgame (apart from one game as true neut neutral and a turbo) but from what I’ve seen of his towngames I don’t really have reason to expect him to be a L2 wolf.
The one I outlined in that sentence – basically, instead of focusing overly much on scumhunting (though obviously, you still do that some), you townhunt, make a towncore, and then lynch outside the towncore.
Jgoes wasn’t in the JoaT9 game (also it’s ongoing so we should probably stop talking about it).
Quoting this rather than your wall because I don’t want to break the quote. Can you elaborate more on some of these? I’m specifically seeing Maxi and Vul/Squid as the ones that stick out most. I’m also curious about you putting Marshal and Jgoes in the same high tier – can you tell me more about how you’re reading that interaction?
It means he has or is claiming a N0 investigative peek on you as town.
I think this forum is way too uptight about what constitutes a L1 or L2 or L3.
I am basing my reads off of jgoes being a level two. A level two in this guide is:
Level 2: Solid player, played some vanilla games, knows the basics of wolf hunting
Solid player [Yep]
Played some vanilla games[Not really, but still played enough]
Knows the basis of wolf hunting [Yep]
I’d call him a L2 and he is acting like a scummy l2
