Well, there wasn’t that much to backread today either.
First things first – I see that people are switching over to Blizer, but I still stand by my words that his execution doesn’t give us much of anything. If we suspect PKR to be the NK (and I’ll go over this more below), doesn’t it make more sense for PK to vig Blizer’s slot and get PKR out now? Since all NK’s but Zealot are DI.
And if we want to allow PKR to confirm himself instead, then we should be theorizing on how – I already said that I think redirecting vig somewhere isn’t ideal since not only the vig is delayed, but if PKR is NK he’ll survive and he can kill the supposed vig target on his own afterwards to ‘confirm’ the redirection. I think if anything, PKR should be redirecting Centuries if he isn’t going to be the lynch today.
Because even if Centuries is fake, he has to guess if the redirection happened or not – and if he says that it doesn’t and PKR is town, he just dies next. But this plan isn’t perfect in any capacity because it still takes some time, though as long as Executioner is alive it shouldn’t really be an issue.
That aside, I find it curious how no one seemed to read/reply to TBE’s case on PKR?
This post:
I’ll go over it in a separate post because it would make this wall even more huge than it already is, but that’s just something I noted.
Also iirc only a few people talked about Jane’s case on PKR as well.
These posts from TBE:
Actually look good to me – in a way that they are in line with his post about read/potential misclear analysis, which I liked a lot.
My main issue with him is claiming Executioner yesterday because I absolutely don’t agree with his thought process behind it – a few people already said it, but it almost felt like PR hunting. Aside from that, the only things that stood out to me were his RT’s which he quickly dropped (he did give a reason for dropping the second one though) and that interaction thing.
But the above ones still feel genuine? I think groupscum trying to build fake associations/spew wouldn’t say this:
Though I’m not familiar with TBE’s scum game (I think the only one he had was BOTF and I’m allergic to that setup) and everything can be faked in vacuum.
Next.
Gorta’s case on Unknown:
I don’t think anyone ever cleared them on this. That whole thing looks completely NAI to me to begin with – it could come both from scum trying to ask questions to look productive/towny, and from town that genuinely isn’t familiar with this site and its games.
This was discussed quite a bit before and yes, this was the main part that felt ‘off’ to me at the start of the game.
The thing about that nulllist though – do you think scum would ever write this? I think that if someone experienced was pretending to be new, they would instead give very few actual reads with weak reasoning. Something like “Chloe seems towny to me and Gorta is okay, though he looks like a type that doesn’t post much”.
That would obviously make them look better than posting a nulllist – no? It just seems excessive.
Jane spoke about this before, I think this could be interpreted as them suspecting Seth of trying to pocket them? Don’t remember if Unknown themselves confirmed/denied this though.
Their posts about this being/not being Cult game read like pure theorizing, although I do agree that this:
Looks pretty weird in context. @UnknownTraveler Could you tell us why did you make this precise post above?
Like, what was the purpose of it.
The post about “slip” actually read genuine to me, not to mention that I don’t believe it was a slip to begin with.
Maybe I’m giving Unknown too much of a free pass because I’m reading them as a newer player, but even this list aside – I don’t think they have been pushing any kind of agenda? One could argue that they are trying to coast and their activity did drop today, but I’m not a huge fan of activity reads except for a few cases where they are actually relevant.
