Ah, right. Would it be more appropriate to label Solic a bad deepwolf then?

Since you’re claiming newbie I don’t think you should use those terms, but you could say something like ā€˜he wants us all to trust him so he can backstab us, here’s why he’s actually acting suspicious’

that’s probably a bad phrasing but

I will do my best to push for astand lynch.

The hope is to lynch(and clean) astand, gimme hammer, i shoot chaing saying that i think they were astand’s scumpartner, and then go from there

arete, how long will you be around before EOD.

because i want to make 100% sure astand is flipping before clean

EoD is at like 6 AM when normally I’d be getting up a couple hours later

if we think there’s no way of us actually hitting majority I can plan to wake up just before EoD but I am not nearly committed enough to wake up every half hour just to find out if we’re close enough to hammer yet

Tbh I think it’s almost past the point I can pretend to be a dumb newbie (even though I am one, just not as dumb as chiang :stuck_out_tongue:) . Solic suspects, and a bunch of us raised the idea that I’m strangely good for a newb or that I may not be a newb at all.

I won’t use ā€˜deepwolfing’ anyway. I think it’s better that I appear to be a decently skilled new player, since you’ve pushed the idea that I’m a locktown due to the effort I’ve put into my Solic ISO.

Imma be pulling an all-nighter for this(and to catch up on HW).

@Luxy would I be able to puppet arete if arete was asleep?
and arete, would you be okay with me doing that?

I am okay with being puppeted to act, just run it by me first (which you’re doing here, so we’re good)

no idea how Luxy feels

Yeah I said I was gonna leave but have been more lurkey.

Are we all in agreement that a clean on astand is the best move if I can get hammer and vig chaing

Also, it would be a pretty pure shot, as maf would likely go for a more towncore shot

Are we going to let Boss get mislynched today?

I think astand is the plan.
But boss could work(and then be cleaned) and then I shoot tele

I’m pushing Astand over Boss but I’ll take either

The important thing is that we aren’t just sitting around on the sidelines at EoD, when both wagons end up being town people should look for whoever was relatively indifferent. Ideally we don’t all clump on the same wagon.

I’ll probably have to stay on Solic. It’ll look pretty bad to back off now, unless I can say the reasoning for switching is that I can actually contribute to a lynching since Solic won’t be lynched today.

That’d need me to do a scumread on astand and make him look scummier than boss.

So the thing about you is that since you’re a newbie, you have a lot more leeway to switch around at random, as long as you don’t try to justify it

Disclaiming why you’re doing it makes you look self-conscious

I’d still be self-conscious if I was town :upside_down_face:

But yeah I’ll stay on Solic, try and others’ townlocks on him.

*try and change others’ townlocks on him.

So weirdly enough, the fact that you’d be self-conscious as town doesn’t actually matter, you want to look not self conscious

This is a major hurdle for me as a new FM player. It feels like I have to be an arrogant paranoid schizophrenic to generate the amount of reads and pushes that the towniest players do.

It’s really odd that changing your mind and also taking time to make conclusions and properly qualify them can be inherently scummy.

Changing your mind isn’t necessarily scummy, if you do it right, but qualifying your reads is considered scummy because it makes it look like you’re mafia who doesn’t want to get scumread for being wrong
