if im still alive that is

[Icibalus]

I won’t force myself to have opinions on every single one of his posts, please. That’s not a macroread, that’s just a waste of time in most cases since it forces opinions on too many things for any of them to be useful.

Here are my main points on Maxi’s stuff from earlier in my ISO:

Summary

@Icibalus

really? i don’t really see it that way, as magnus/shuri already left and i assumed you left too, and as the ppl i saw on at the time were geyde/hja and i didn’t feel like voting either of them i decided to just do a random vote as i was gonna go to sleep soon and will go to sleep after this post

it seems like hja is just voting me bc they think they can metaread me again like in lotr fm and i can see both town/scum hja doing that so they’re still a null for me

geyde seems like they are either geniunely convinced that i’m scum or were waiting for lhf to come on so they can powerwolf, and as it could be either they’re also a null still until i see more interaction. they do seem inclined to find reasons to scumread people rather than try to form a towncore tho, but that could just be bc there haven’t really been many “strong” players on

if i was going to vote someone who was on the thread, i probably would’ve voted shuri, but then i run into the same problem as voting alice: they’re not fucking on. (and due to diff timezones, it won’t amount to anything since they’ll go to sleep by the time im awake and on which amounts to empty content)

anyway, gn, and if i somehow get lynched while asleep, then i just want you guys to know that i’m extremely disappointed in you guys.

Randomly scrolling through the thread brought me to this gem of a post. This is what we call a badly-written long post. I think this post is reasonbly wolfy, and this may sound like I’m being a caricature of myself here, but I think this post is wolfy because it’s badly written and full of weird inconsistent sentences that scan awfully.

The way that this sentence structure prevails throughout feels like Maxi’s points don’t have any real substance (join up the dots to why this makes him a wolf) so he’s repeating the same point through his head and phrasing it slightly differently- this has the bizarre effect of making a post where Maxi repeats himself look hedgy because he’s constantly considering strange scenarios no person actually could.

Look at the bit about Geyde and see my point. He’s basically saying the same thing throughout, but the way it’s phrased makes it look like he’s going back and forth in a hedgy manner, and I think that’s a result of Maxi trying to attatch credence to a very shaky point.

tl;dr - post hedgy due to lack of substance, reasonably wolfy, might lynch later

@Icibalus

geyde has inherited marl’s position, and we’re falling back on old habits i suppose

i do agree that giving one player this much thread control is a very risky thing to do tho

hoping more ppl post more after lunch for me

Like, I can’t be the only one who notices that he starts using the “thread control” buzzword in a game where the guy with the most posts loves tempo reads and talks about the thread as a whole has the most posts.

It feels like Maxi was just trying to use the “coolest” term to talk about Geyde to talk about how he dosen’t like how much influence he as and to shadethrow him away from that position.

Adding to that it’s the most basic Level 1 sentiment ever created, and put all of that together (Maxi using a level 3 term to describe a level 1 sentiment is wolfy btw) I think we can safely say that Maxi is… a wolf!

Basically, buzzwords + hedginess makes me think they’re a wolf.

@Maxwell

also i should put a disclaimer out there: if Maxi were to get lynched and flip v today, I will tunnel you to hell and back tomorrow

oh good now it’s illegal for me to be wrong, that really dosen’t put an awful lot of unwarranted pressure on me

[Maxwell]

Last time I accepted ISO’s where nothing was linked to specific identifiable quotes, I lost in a sweep (vulgard in sfol 53). I’m done accepting “ISO’s” that won’t go through the effort to identify which quotes they’re responding to.

[Icibalus]

gah I shouldn’t be such a sarcastic asshole to somebody who’s just trying to play the game
sigh I’ll take a break.

@Maxwell which is why you’ll notice I quote Maxi’s posts in my points on him.

[Icibalus]

@Icibalus

gah I shouldn’t be such a sarcastic asshole to somebody who’s just trying to play the game

Like seriously, I don’t know what’s gotten into me but I’m being really rude for no reason.

[Maxwell]

im a dumbass, you’re right you quoted a few, thank you

[Maxwell]

you really are
thanks for realizing that

[Icibalus]

it’s probably just hormones flaring up to be honest
damn puberty

[Maxwell]

ah puberty
fun

[Magnus]

I’m Town, did nothing to deserve it.
I’d suggest lynching Kyo first, since he has a higher percentage of being scum

[Maxwell]

irrelevant

[Maxwell]

actually ignore that. if i go to sleep now my sleep schedule will become royally fucked. I will brave it and probably be up for the next 10-12 hours.

[Magnus]

How is it irrelevant?

[Maxwell]

i was posting about how i was going to go to sleep soon
but then i realized and posted in the follow up post that would nuke my sleep schedule and be a terrible idea.
apologies for the confusion

[Vulgard]

Why Kyo?

[Magnus]

Because people have been suggesting one of us were wolf, so I figured lynching the i’m not sure is better than mechanically confirmed Town (from my perspective)

[Maxwell]

@Maxwell

Howdy, I’m Magnus the Vanilla Town.

Luxy:

You have no abilities except your voice and your vote. Put them to good use!
You win when all of the Mafia are dead.

interesting™

Although I could be reading too much into things, this does kind of feel like a semi-wolf soft.

How are you confirmed town? Some would say you slipped wolf with this post.

[Vulgard]

Has the entire case against Magnus been that Kyo was hedging on him or is it something else?

[Maxwell]

this is part of it @Vulgard
