i feel like teleporter might be having the Good Wolf Problem. as in, their posts are overall fine, they have good thoughts, they aren’t awkward or anything, but none of their posts show a distinctly villagery pov that allows me to clear them.
trapsetter, eavesdropper (from now on), student and cryogenics are in my villa core because they did have that. security had one post like that and this one post is why i think it’s a town slot.
teleporter, despite high volume and high presence, didn’t. and it concerns me. i did read their posts, they are good posts, i liked these posts.
also, i thought they are outed mafia around the time of their opener, and my continued inability to clear them (aside from the townslip post that looked quite good to me) makes me wonder if i was correct.
I felt that way about Officer and even Facilitator (good posts in realtime, not so great in retrospect) but not at all about Comms. Maybe some of that is bias anyway because they came in and decided to push me, but their case on me was just… bad. Some of it was objectively true but the way they went about casing me was kinda gross, ngl.
Again, Surv, just leave me alone for a couple game days and I am confident I can clear myself.
Just having a little trouble adapting to this game bc I haven’t played alt, flipless, smalltown games… I think ever (I’ve played games with each of these aspects, but not all of them at once)
Once I get acclimated and dialed in I will absolutely make my alignment clear.
It read like “wow eww this slot is just a wolf, get it out” without solid enough reasoning that would make anyone want to sheep the case. As if they were throwing a scumread on me because there were already quite a few scumreads on me at that point, I had not been in the thread for as long as everyone else (other than Coroner who’s a basket case), and gave very weak reasons without seeing the flaw in the fact that what they accused me of was also something they were doing. And by scumreading me for doing something that they’re doing, even though they should consider themselves town, they’re essentially condemning themselves by wolfreading the exact things they’re doing.
They also took it a step farther imo because I really don’t think any of their posts in the game so far have resembled solving.
oh yeah, i have another controversial take not named coroner town.
i feel like communications is a villager, and i feel that way because i can sense the thread shift against them for no real reason. the collective momentum seems unfounded. i re-read their posts moments ago and i still think they are fine. plus, they felt very good in the moment.
it feels like the classic “we’re shifting gears to this one villager with low postcount because they are killable.” and i’m not saying the wolves necessarily initiated this movement, i’m saying this type of stuff happens, and the villager’s death is usually preventable.
maybe i shouldn’t have towncored them in my prior readlist (currently i have them as a lean), but i do think they’re town.
I’m following your reasoning. Idk, I think we can wait a day on Teleporter since their switcheroo is going to end up publicly outed unless I die (lol) and it’s either going to speak volumes about their slot, or they’re going to be forced to cooperate in a towny way because their claim can be confirmed or countered.
To be honest, this alone comes from villagers more often than not. But in the context of their push on you, it was pretty bad because it shows they were grasping at straws.
I am very confident in my ability to backread, solve, and perform heavy analysis in the mid to late game.
Some of that might change because flipless/alts, but I will put in the work if I’m around later in the game and by then I should be able to very easily clear myself.
Im fine with comms wagon though
really not anything super great from them, I think their early play looks worse with the hindsight that they don’t do anything with the questions they asked
i’m currently firmly set on facilitator being mafia, nothing they’ve done since my vote has convinced me otherwise.
security/coroner/officer has the second packwolf maybe, if teleporter is not it. officer has been dropping down my readlist as more and more people towntold. i don’t think that slot has towntold. coroner’s my pet townread but i understood that people wouldn’t agree with it when i posted about it.
and you know what i said about teleporter. if it’s mafia, i take credit for calling them an outed wolf at gamestart.
these had a decent level of insight i found villagery.
that’s actually true, though.
and this part in particular feels like an independent solving thought process. from a wolf mindset, this actually makes no sense. you push eavesdropper, you drop it for no reason and swap to teleporter… also for no reason. you want to at least pretend you’re solving, right?
