I have Vulgard and Eli as solid town, but I’d be more wary of Marshal. She can fake her tone well as a wolf, so jumping on that can just be pushing the mindset of “Chloe tried to discredit me so she’s a wolf!” which we know is not true.
I have Vul and Eli as solid town, but I need to take a closer look at slots like Hippo, lol, Wazza & PKR.
Something I noticed from both lol and Hippo are that the timing of their takes and questions came right after someone commented on their behavior and how it was lacking X or Y, but I’m also wondering whether it’d be too blatant for a wolf to immediately do a 180 on their behavior. See; lol gaining a random scumread on me right after Vul said lol not doing anything was suspicious
yeah, and the way he went about the read didn’t look like he was actually trying to convince anyone of it
it just looked like he was trying to appear productive
Ami didn’t post much, but the read on Eli is NAI before actually getting more information about why she scumread him. Probably focusing on this slot later.
This reads as pure regardless of PKR’s alignment
I’m liking his thought process, but there’s actually some questionable progression on Chloe/CRich. I don’t think it’s wolfy, though?
Summary
Here he scumreads Chloe for being cautious, then kind of backs off when confronted about it and puts her above null. Then CRich replaces in, he points out things such as him townreading everyone and votes him at EoD
I honestly had the same kind of progression just because I didn’t really care, but given Cloned’s views on weirdness and how it translates to being scummy, I would say he’s still probably town. Not a strong read, but still town. What do you think?
I have a hard time deciding whether Derps looks awkward or towny from the little content I can gather from his ISO. He inserted himself in the discussion about PKR’s AtE, only to post things that don’t go anywhere
The fact that he’s not completely ignoring Chloe’s vote on him is probably town-indicative in his case? It’s the only thing I really have for him, other than that, everything can go either way. However, I want to point out that if he’s a wolf, he has a decent amount of partner-equity with lol for these posts:
The fact that lol felt the need to call out to him like this is kind of weird? Combined with the fact that before this, the only read Derps confidently outed was when they called lol town for their meta-take on Min. I agree that it was a towny post from lol so that alone isn’t enough proof, but this mutual buddying up feels weird.
i think cloned is probably town because he’s incredibly comfortable in the thread and his progression, regardless of how questionable it may be, is clearly visible
Discourse lied to me and told me I was at the end of his ISO
These are the posts that followed later on in the day, but they switched to CRich soon after. There was no real reason to vote lol, but they were one of the leading wagons at the time iirc
a lot of derps’ posting this game has been underwhelming or hedge
i asked him if he has any actual reads and he said “yes and no” then didn’t give me anything
the way in which lol said it was for no reason makes it even weirder
because the reason was the lack of content, and presumably as a means of a pressure
the derps quotes you’ve used clearly show his uncertainty and hedge
but i don’t think it’s a towny uncertainty
it just feels like an excuse to not actually push anything
do you think wolf derps would have the confidence to admit that he isn’t even voting someone he scumreads? like he doesn’t seem to care how this makes him look
Having played a few games with him as a wolf, I wouldn’t rule that out. It’s the same “Eh idrc about the outcome” -attitude that can come from either alignment
I’ve been going in order from least posts → most posts, but I can ISO him real quick. Just finished Eli’s ISO and am still comfortable locking him town.
I didn’t like the posts I saw from him during the day, and I still think he’s had opportunistic moments (e.g. with the continuous push on Chloe)
I feel like all of Hippo’s pushes are based on level-1 reads that he treats as more than that. Eli’s vote was not scummy, and you were most definitely not scummy for not having taken any stances 200 posts into the game.
This, surprisingly, doesn’t carry the same level of confidence that they’ve shown with their pushes. I feel like it really is more focused on explaining himself? That said, I don’t know if Hippo can fake something like that.
I’d argue it’s a good look for him.
Then he puts his focus on PKR after making a clear point of how he’s an easy LHF. I honestly might’ve misread him, this is towny.
Yeah, he’s town. His mindset isn’t as agenda-ridden as I thought, I’m liking his attitude here.
