Orangevitational - Aliens Win!

you know what @Security ?

Fuck you, you brought this upon yourself

I’m not taking questions

Final thoughts for this period of time:

Student is probably my top town, all of his reads are pretty good, they basically all make sense and he seems super genuine.

Surveillance is still super villagery, I am a little wary of them to be quite honest but I also think their thoughts are just super good and they are leading the thread in the right direction

Comms and Teleporter and Officer are all fine. Probably town in each of those.

Cryogenics has had good thoughts, prob would be at a similar tier to surveillance but I can’t really get past how performative they are with their reads, the analogies are beyond unnecessary, even if I like the substance of them. Therefore they’re a bit lower in my core.

Scientist’s posting is super underwhelming and 1-liner-y. Honestly not great.

Security is concerning, their posting could be theoretically villagery with it being combatative but I think that if they are wolf they would need to take this angle of combatative villager giving the finger to the consnesus. So they aren’t in any core.

@Coroner start doing things, your role is good enough to let you live if you do, like, the bare minimum of villageriness but you haven’t even done that

Eavesdroppers reads are all kinda noncommital, feels kind of coasty, even when people agree with consensus they seem to be putting some kind of stance out there whereas everything eavesdropper says is “yeah I guess this makes sense I kinda agree with this”.

Facilitator continues to underwhelm but could uptrend, maybe. We’ll see.

I am back.

Gonna read through the past 100 posts and see what’s up.

Oh god no lol

That’s what I get for missing SoD tbh.i can’t really give reads without agreeing with at least someone on them.

Btw I’ve seen no reason to move my vote so far, even after Scientist came back and posted. They didn’t really contribute anything.

@Trapsetter if you think I’m non-committal, then why are you voting Scientist with me?

Think whether hedging is villagery or not is largely context-dependent, but I’m not interested in getting into a mafia theory debate atm so I’ll just leave it hanging.

I liked Comm’s post 600 about Eavesdropper (specifically where they say that it feels like Eavesdropper is reading off of a script) but the weird thing about that post is that I would have expected it to end with a vote on Eaves. Instead, it just kinda ends.

@Communications - is there a reason why you didn’t vote Eavesdropper at the end of post 600, if you disliked a lot of micro stuff about their posting?


I have to say that I do like 604/608 from Faciliator. I’m not exactly sure how easily fakable this is, but I feel like that they genuinely thought they caught me in a scumslip and were proud to show it off. That type of conviction is pretty difficult to put yourself in the shoes of if you’re a wolf IMO.

Kinda want to backread earlier in Day 1 with the knowledge that Facilitator may be likely town. I’ll take a look at who readily jumped on that wagon tomorrow.

Talk to me about why it felt genuine to you? Reason why I voted Officer was for the exact opposite reason - their reaction to Security felt a little artificial.

Kinda tilting that all the important roles are the ones either likely to be wolf or they’re just not giving us anything of importance (Scientist/Coroner/Security).

Hey, I’m an important role,too :frowning:

Btw I’ll respond to Comms’ post on me later but I don’t think I had that much to say? I know I’m floating in the thread because I’m trying to formulate reads but everyone’s already given reads on everyone else,so no matter what I do it just looks like I’m echoing someone else. The only thing I can do at this point is sheep and then read people off of how they’re reading other players.

And I’m caught up.

Probably gonna spend more time backreading tomorrow and figure out who may have been opportunistically jumping on Facilitator since I think they might be town.

I’m kind of basing Facilitator’s entire alignment on one particular interaction (their belief that they “caught” me with my identity comment) but I do think it’s a decently strong one to read someone off of.

Well, credit to you for actually playing the game and giving a shit rather than leaving us with scraps :slight_smile:

because i’m a villager, and if i’m clearing someone, even if correctly, i’d expect some backlash on it? instead of literally nothing. i’ve also been silently sheeped on several of my takes without much arguing. trust me when i say this isn’t what i’m accustomed to when i play, i’m usually forced to defend and/or push my stances a lot more, but here i barely had to do that by comparison.

i’m not super attached to the threadspewed thing but it’s there.

i said “i think they’re town.” if that sounds overconfident to you, then… sure?

thing is, you won’t. coroner can be mafia and lie.

villagery read.
yeah, student’s town.

how about you help us ensure we don’t put one in there?

why couldn’t literally anyone else have randed the vig?

Good with these people for today I think:

Trapsetter
Student
Surveillance
Cryogenics
Facilitator

Want to figure out the wolves in these six:

Communications
Scientist
Security
Coroner
Eavesdropper
Officer

A little worried that someone in my towncore might be woofing, but I’ll figure that out as the game goes on.

i townread this.
unfortunately.
yes, it’s breaking apart the towncore, but it strikes me as a substantial playstyle difference / higher standards / whatever you want to describe it as, and not a Nefarious Wolf Attempt To Break The Pure Towncore. i think at this point a wolf would rather join it than try to oppose it, considering how firmly entrenched it is.

wolfy.

villagery.

you can always ask me instead of sliding this into the thread and expecting me not to notice.

with officer i get a sense of recency bias. their posts felt solid in the moment while i was interacting with them, but as i’m backreading right now and the slot isn’t posting, i find myself naturally lowering them on my readlist.

not sure if that means officer just isn’t towny or i’m subconsciously prioritizing the players whose posts i read more recently.

well, no. i did think you were outed mafia for a while, but then you started to towntell and i’m no longer sure.

by the way student is rapidly approaching top town territory. funny how things go after an initial push on the slot.

something feels off about this read and how eavesdropper ties these two players together.

another villagery question. villagery questions = good questions that do something.

/vote Eavesdropper

for someone backreading the thread later than everyone else minus coroner, this sure looks like a very consensus set of reads. surprisingly so, in fact.

and every time they mention a take that’s potentially anti-consensus to some extent, they undersell it by expressing some level of doubt.

difficile

more wolfy assessments.

Ok then, I’ll ask you now. I am actually glad you noticed because I want your answer on it, but all you’ve done is assume that I wanted you to skip over it when I do, in fact, want an explanation.
