[VFM] JoaT^2 - (6/15) - šŸ˜¹ Pirates (Town) Win!

I think Leafia!JOAT would jump at Wazza

I canā€™t see literally anyone else not protecting Flameo there unless itā€™s someone like Io.

Flameo was always getting killed. There is no way we have w/w wagons and BOTH claim JOAT. They just lose the game by default.

Flameo also buried PK.

Yes, Iā€™m JOAT hunting, and I donā€™t care. At this point they should probably just out.

Vul can you post the pre written post you made

Yeah.

Wazza: Technically a potential busser, given how his activity peaked when he had an opportunity to dunk on PK, but wouldnā€™t yeet today.

Flameo: Literally lock clear. if we had w/w wagons they would NEVER both claim JOAT like they did. they just get counterclaimed and they eventually lose. also flameo caught PK in a lie and directly contributed to his yeet. I told you this was town, I told Leafia/Io they were tunneling town, and I was right. Listen to me instead of being tunnelers.

Centuries: Towny enough, fairly consistently throughout the game. Did not really take a stance here, which is eh, but I donā€™t think heā€™s my priority.

Io: Blatant town still.

Sulit: Kinda like Centuries, except fewer reasons to call her towny as a whole, I think.

Intensify: Top suspect. Spent a lot of time defending Flameo for no apparent reason.

Leafia: Could be a brazen wolf, but I have doubts.

Vulgard

Flameo

CallMeIo

Never tinfoil there. I led two wolf wagons out of two wolf wagons now and immediately called out the PK claim as fake. Later, Flameo swooped in, claimed JOAT and caught PK in a lie. We are never wolves doing this here. Especially not Flameo. W/W wagons never both claim JOAT, thatā€™s dumb.

CallMeIo is just so obviously reckless and disorganized town, I donā€™t even know if there is any point in my explaining it.

Centuries

sulit

They are kinda on the same level. I COULD call both of them scum, especially since their contributions to the wagons were not particularly notable. But I think Centuries is town because his open uncertainty about PK would make him look bad if PK were to flip red, which he did. Iā€™m thinking he takes a stronger stance as scum.

Sulit is also in that weird zone where she wasnā€™t taking strong stances, but I would expect scum to take a strong stance here. Either commit to a bus or defend your only remaining partner. Bad reason to clear her, and a reason I wouldnā€™t use for long, but I think itā€™s enough not to look at her TODAY.

Wazza

I think he couldā€™ve bussed here, honestly, but his theatrics with claiming VT earlier in the game, then claiming JOAT this EOD and claiming VT again while simultaneously sitting on PK wagon all the timeā€¦ Well, it could be scum theatrics. I honestly donā€™t think itā€™s 100% town. Not anymore.

Leafia

I think itā€™s either extremely tunneled town or just an openwolfer. One of the two. Would always yeet in final 3, probably. Right now still leaning town but willing to change my mind.

Intensify

I think heā€™s the remaining wolf. Believed both JOAT claims immediately, thenā€¦ flipped to not believing Flameoā€™s JOAT claim in the very next post. ā€œCall me scum all you want, but Flameo is clearly trying to execute a Joat claim before they eventually die.ā€

ā€œCall me scum all you want.ā€

Well, I will.

The post about sulit that comes next looks really weird. Itā€™s likeā€¦ heā€™s shading sulit for voting on the PK wagon, which he claims is ā€œa wagon on someone self-resolvingā€. ā€œYou havenā€™t proven youā€™re townā€ is a textbook wolfy statement.

Kept defending the PK scumslip with his disjointed claim by saying that ā€œreal JOAT fakes results in JOAT cover.ā€

ā€œIf Flameo flips town of any sorts, Iā€™ll be so pissed at him for pushing a self-resolving slot, but heā€™s not town thankfully unless Arete wants to troll usā€

Looks incredibly performative. Note that Intensify has been hyperfocused on the JOAT debate instead of solving anyone else, for the most part. I get the impression it mattered to him a lot. Which could be the case if he were a villager, since there was a nigh-guaranteed wolf in Flameo/PK, but I feel like he cares as a wolf. Canā€™t really describe it.

ā€œBut the fact that Flameo decides to push another Joat if he was Joat is completely unbelievable to meā€

Butā€¦ he instantly believed Flameoā€™s claim earlier.

ā€œSecond, why did Flameo feel like pushing said self-resolving when he is Joat and could idk just track him.ā€

WHEN HE IS JOAT.

Intensifyā€™s posts sound like he is struggling with TMI.

He then keeps harddefending PK. Okay. You could say that ā€œhe wouldnā€™t harddefend his partner!! it makes him look like a wolf!!ā€ But he wasnā€™t the only one. Iā€™m scumreading him specifically because of the way heā€™s doing it. He goes from taking both JOAT claims as real, to flipping on Flameo when he realizes that PK is in danger of getting yeeted, and harddefending PK going forward without using any of PKā€™s posts to prove heā€™s town.

He also completely ignores Flameoā€™s post #4149 despite reading the thread, and the followup to that post, instead calling Flameo ā€œsomeone who is trying to misyeet PKā€ and ā€œa fake JOAT claim.ā€ But first, he actually believes the claim, which is kinda weird. Itā€™s like he forgot he had TMI.

Note post #4491. Everything in that post is logic you could also apply to PK, but Intensify is completely ignoring PK and not even trying to entertain the possibility of PK being a wolf. Could be a blind villager, but honestlyā€¦ think about it in simple terms.

Itā€™s like he randomly decided that PK is the JOAT and Flameo counterclaimed to misyeet him forā€¦ whatever reason.

Seriously, look at it in a vacuum. You are Flameo, you are a wolf. The top wagon claims JOAT. You are the other wagon.

Do youā€¦ claim JOAT just to get them misyeeted? You just die the next day. Youā€™ve made yourself super suspicious for tunneling another JOAT claim when there are 2 potential JOATs. The real second JOAT counterclaims you come tomorrow if you donā€™t manage to nightkill them, and town will believe that JOAT. Maybe you get yeeted if you donā€™t claim, and you could try to claim to get the final misyeet before your demise, but you should defend yourself in other ways beforehand.

But if youā€™re Intensify, you absolutely want to get a real JOAT yeeted over your partner, because that gives your partner one more day and yeets someone who is LOCK CLEAR if you donā€™t. The lock clear also doesnā€™t die, because the other JOAT always heals them at night. And you end up with at least 1 JOAT alive, with only one wolf alive. You are fucked.

It makes sense Intensify would harddefend PK so hard. And yes, there were other people tunneling Flameo, but one of them is blatant town and the otherā€¦ at least didnā€™t pretend that PKā€™s claim was towny? They were just fixated on Flameo really badly. I mean Leafia.

So, the world Iā€™m in is that either Wazza bussed PK and is trying to ride the cred, or (more likely) Intensify is a wolf with PK and harddefended him to make sure they wouldnā€™t get screwed over. 1 wolf alive with both JOATs alive (one of whom is lock clear and always gets healed by the other JOAT) is a huge problem for the wolves. You donā€™t want that to happen.

After Flameoā€™s JOAT flip, Intensify would just say that ā€œoops I was wrongā€ and try to defend himself that way. PK would get yeeted, probably, but at least there would only be one JOAT left, and maybe they could kill the JOAT. Their chances increase.

I think it makes the most sense overall (that Intensify would be PKā€™s wolf partner). Weā€™ll see what the others think. Iā€™m open to Leafia and Wazza being possibilities, though I do think that the bus would be kinda weird on Wazzaā€™s part, and I do think Leafia is a tunneled villager. Might change my mind, however.

Looked back at Intensifyā€™s ISO and he never shows any concern about yeeting sulit or Flameo, but when itā€™s PK, he immediately harddefends them.

#3794

ā€œIf Sulit and Flameo both flip town somehowā€

I suppose itā€™s a vocabulary thing at this point.

ā€œFirst as to who I would vote. I guess Flameo for nowā€¦ keyword being now. I havenā€™t ISOā€™ed Sulit yet, so me voting them just because a couple told me to is dumb. However for Flameo, I originally liked their posts in day 1, I felt like they were towny. However, as days passed on, I felt like their posts got worse? They had a strong start, but it dropped slowly for me.ā€

#3953

Note the progression on Flameo. Initially townread, then kinda dropping.

#3969

Acknowledges that PKā€™s posts are not very good.

#3974

ā€œNo resistance on PK.ā€
Possibly an argument not to yeet them. Looks bad in light of PKā€™s flip. ā€œOh, heā€™s kinda scummy, but no resistance so maybe town?ā€

#3980

ā€œI feel like scum would try to save PK hereā€

Hahahaha.

#4007

Now defending PK despite considering his posts not very good. ā€œNO RESISTANCE DOE.ā€ Complains about Wazza pushing him.

#4449

Now harddefends PK and hardpushes Flameo. Flameo is about to bury a wolf here, and suddenly Intensify is all like ā€œI MUST SAVE PK.ā€

Also, he didnā€™t react like this to Wazza pushing PK because PK was not in as much danger back then.

#4458

ā€œFlameo was on the verge of being lonched, of course he would claim Joat.ā€

PK DID THE EXACT SAME THING.

But Intensify is ignoring it because ā€œNO RESISTANCE DOE.ā€

#4483

ā€œThe Joat claim, which was PK. You could say PK was scummy, but in the end they can just self-resolve or be tracked by Joat but yet Flameo still pushes them for this entire dayā€

FLAMEO CAN SELF-RESOLVE TOO.

This is someone who wants a JOAT yeeted because otherwise they are in trouble.

Like, Intensify is intentionally ignoring things which do not fit his narrative. He spent a lot of time harddefending a wolf without evaluating PK as ā€œpotentially a wolf.ā€ Just a few off-hand comments.

His wolfread on Flameo rests on Flameo claiming JOAT and pushing PK. Intensifyā€™s stance on JOAT claims was allegedly ā€œlet them resolve,ā€ but Flameoā€™s different because heā€™sā€¦ pushing PK?

This looks like chainsaw to me.

I could be wrong, but yeah, after going through the ISO, I still think Intensifyā€™s a wolf.

Waza is so weird lmao, not particularly in a scum way just weird all around

Think you could case Intensify TWTBAW / similar to Gorta hardcore defending wolf

particularly seeing how poor the village has been playing

I think thatā€™s the most important point about Intensify in this whole wall. Intensify ā€œkinda scumreads PK but no resistance so PK possibly town?ā€ And then, when Flameo catches PK in a lie, Intensifyā€™s read flips to ā€œPK IS TOWN AND FLAMEO IS MISYEETING HIM.ā€

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

I really wanna believe he wolf tbh lmao

if he town i just

despair

The timing of the read flip and the way it flipped is the real problem. Itā€™s perfectly aligned with what a wolf would want to do.

unless you are our second JOAT and donā€™t heal the person who always gets nightkilled last night.
Yes, Iā€™m slightly salty.

I donā€™t think village has been playing badly, I just think weā€™ve had a serious tunnel problem.

I think Wazza is never really wolf because of his joat fuckery :joy:

/vote Intensify

Donā€™t quickyeet.

Issue is that all our good villagers got yeeted/killed yotta fast and then weā€™re left with Io/Leafia stuff

Maybe I should also point out that I played with Intensify exactly once before and he was really obvious town. In this game, heā€™sā€¦ not.

Iā€™m gonna read CatLover & Wisp

Actually, you were in that game. Dreaming Gods FM. I called Intensify super obvious town and maintained that stance throughout the game.
