[FoL] Forum of Lies 29 - OVER (9/18) - CULT FOOL WIN

@Centuries 147?

alright, I re-read some people in my nullzone overnight to try to sort them, I went roughly least posts -> most posts to sort them so that I could do more but that did mean I didn’t get to the highposters

going to just post what I came up with and then take a look at night stuff

Appel

Summary

This one is like … my gut is telling me town but my brain is telling me scum, and I’m not sure why my gut is saying that

also she has like five posts, which makes things harder

the thing that’s pinging me about her mainly is her hedginess, like she has a lot of posts like

which are super hedgy and not really drawing any conclusions, which is also something she’s done in her scum games (e.g. SF V)

tl;dr slight scumlean but I need more than 5 posts to read her

Amelia

Summary

Literally all I have to say about this slot is ā€˜has activity tells and isn’t being active,’ like, none of her posts are actually game-related

closest thing I found to a game-related post is this one:

which … vaguely feels like it’s trying too hard to look comfortable? I guess?

honestly I’m just going to hope that someone mechresolves her ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

Wazza

Summary

I was concerned a bit at first because posts like

felt out of place, like, why would that be the only thing you comment on

but after reading his Chloe analysis I’m a lot more comfortable with him being town

second quote goes to the Isopost, it’s long so I’m not going to post the whole thing

I think Wazza having a serious push at this point is a good look for him since he’s not trying to go UTR, I also like the depth of analysis in the Isopost (Wazza is capable of having real pushes as a wolf, but speaking as someone who’s been on the receiving end of those pushes he basically just picks one thing and tunneltunneltunnels rather than actually trying to analyze)

I also thought this comment in particular was a weirdly good look, like, if scum is paying any attention to the game at all they definitely caught Leafia’s super obvious Priest softs

Overall I think Wazza is probably town

Soulshade

Summary

mrrrr

I don’t like any of his posts

but I think they probably come from town?

like I don’t want to clear him off the scumclaim, in my experience scum are more likely to claim scum because wHy WoUlD sCuM cLaIm ScUm, but posts like

are combative/aggressive in ways that don’t normally come from scum

slight townlean for now

would like to see some actual takes from him

Calculus

Summary

This one is going to be short because I’m running out of time + I already commented on him a bit

a thing that I realized is that I’m pretty sure this post:

came after people had already commented on how it was kind of wolfy that he had nothing but scumreads (not positive on this and if I’m wrong that negates the read)

I’m inclined to think that scum in that situation would change what they were doing rather than continuing to have nothing but scumreads

the ā€˜find scum don’t make townreads’ approach is fairly common among newer/less experienced players, and some sites do it a lot more, I don’t think it’s intrinsically wolfy if they’re not familiar with towncore + PoE based strategies

also the priest hardclaiming on D1 and dying N1 with no protection is certainly a thing

…Leafia?
I’m guessing it was a protective dodge.
Also, we’re probably in a Cult game judging by KP alone.

Pretty sure most people here protect the stronger players over d1 hardclaims? I dunno.
I kinda feel like this is the type of kill an attempted dodger makes.

Didn’t re-eval kat overnight? I did and I kinda feel like they can’t be groupscum at least. They feel alone in the thread.
Neutral is not off the table.

What made you change your mind on kat

/vote Vulgard

until further notice

This is literally the opposite of the read you had yesterday

which was also one of the strongest reads you had

of course

also

I may be less active during the first half of the day

I re-read their posts, and while I still find the instant OMGUS super annoying, it probably doesn’t come from groupscum. Didn’t see anyone else defending kat or even trying to defend kat, which was weird, too.

I could see it from a neutral annoyed about me scumreading them, but I don’t think groupscum!kat does it in their position. I still don’t think kat’s a villager, but I think them being groupscum is less likely.

Here are my logs from last night - without my role/actions, and a few other things i only wanted to out if i died.

Allies w Cent: gorta feels townie / genuinely solvey, but not super present. Very similar to sfol62 tbh. Gave us a pool of people he might have SF’d. Centuries didnt contribute a ton but I still V read him. Ask them for the explanations for my reads - paraphrased. And if Vul flips scum, scumbuds could be [redacted] (just removed these since Vul is still alive).

I have many questions. I thought you were townreading me, why do you want to yeet me now? The way this is phrased suggests you view me as dead in the water.
