[VFM] Purgatory III: The Reckoning! Finale. Demons Win!

VC

Voted Voter Counts
Zone Zone 1/4
Darth Yawn 1/4

Me and 1 are for darth being the heaven today, at least according to the last time I talked to them.

Iā€™m pretty set on gorta being the last scum, but Iā€™m going to try and ISO darth/gorta/Wazza today anyways before we place a vote.

@darth_tabor P1 wants me to ask you who you want to send to heaven today.

And yes: I am a petty person.

Good lord. I swear you guys are all just wanting me to be in purgatory for as long as possible.

P2, does P1 also want me to vote darth, or does he think that I will keep voting myself?

FWIW, I wish you good luck and hope it doesnā€™t take 30 hours.
(Not that it will matter anyway, since it seems to me that you two have muted me.)

Zone Zone 1/4

Player 1 is in the house. :house:

Gorta time!
My partner is in a tunnel on this player, so I figured I would take my own look at them and see whatā€™s up.


Opener is NAI.

They have a history of being asked questions and never providing answers.
Half of me feels like a wolf would care more about how they are viewed and would bullshit some reads/answers, but itā€™s become routine and frustrating.
After being pestered by multiple players throughout the course of the game, Iā€™d like to hope a villager would step it up.

He constantly provides useless 1-liners explaining why he was gone, or what hes going to do, rather than doing them. I suppose this isnā€™t AI? But past a certain point it begins to feel self-aware. Iā€™ll try to look out for these posts as I continue the readthrough.

Points out the vote on Wazza over the vote on me, or zone, or raven.
I donā€™t think there was anything different with this vote in comparison to the other RVS votes? Perhaps gorta can explain this from his perspective - why he called out this specific vote.

He had no read on Wazza prior to this.
This just feels really fake
It could be bias, as we know Wazza flipped W, but I donā€™t see why hes so caught up on the Wazza votes overā€¦ any other votes at SoD.

Also this one is from 2h before EoD ^

lol
take your own advice

This is doodoo
Mole felt nothing like JoaT^2 (I read through that game) - but he did feel wolfy for other reasons.

Weā€™re in PoE.
They have said nothing to or about Raven other than regarding the Wazza vote
Same with Zone

We happen to be the only player here that he has actively shown he is suspicious of, with quotes like this:

Why are we ā€œmaybeā€ in their PoE, if they have shown more reason to scumread us than Zone/Raven

Also holy shit
Gorta asks a lot of questions, but never comments or analyzes the answers.
Whatā€™s the point of asking questions if you arenā€™t going to look at the answers? It feels like saying things just to look productive and solvey.

LMFAO
Oh fuck
Iā€™m going to tunnel this arenā€™t I
But this post feels like itā€™s exactly what hes doing

He never says why he sees Zone as wolfy., but he hard scumreads him. Yet he leaves room forā€¦ Zone toā€¦ be an IC? Claim Priest? Prove himself town? I donā€™t understand.
Itā€™s like hes leaving room to say ā€œoopsā€ if Zone dies and flips V.

Throughout the game he asks people why they townread him, but he never comments on their responses and whether or not theyā€™re AI.

The longer I do this the more it feels like Iā€™m casing him rather than evaluating him, but I didnā€™t plan on hating everything he has posted.

Next section is where he starts his ISO-dives. I already commented on them here, and why I think theyā€™re wolfy (click to expand):

Gorta is focused on ISO-dives and never really communicates with players in real-time.
This is much more likely to come from a wolf, as they have time to consider every word they are putting in the thread, and there is less of a chance to slip up if they arenā€™t talking to players one-on-one.

Meh this post is fine.
But its an association read zzz
All their scumreads are on association with us

ā€œI scumread you but I havenā€™t read anything youā€™ve writtenā€
Cool
Oh also:

This feels like what he did with zone. Heā€™s leaving room to say ā€œoopsā€ when we flip V. He went from a scumread and PoE on Darth to possibly t/t with us, and he never explained this, when we brought it up yesterday.

More questions, but never commenting on the answers.

He still hasnā€™t answered our questions.

Have you gotten any info out of it? If so, please share.

This post is fine.

What

Also gorta went from townreading Raven to making W/W associations with them once Raven was guaranteed to be the execution yesterday:

This is the last thing he said regarding Raven. It was 3 days ago, during Heaven. They didnā€™t say anything regarding Raven in the meantime.

Then this.
Also Zone was just town to them. Aaa

While I think its more likely for a wolf to stick to Trivialā€™s townread on him and try to get heavened, you have to keep in mind that most people here scumread him, and would scumread him more for doing so.
Itā€™s very WIFOMy, and should not be a reason to townread or scumread him. Last wolf has to do some crazy shit to win this, unless theyā€™re in towncore.


Going to look at d1 VCA and see if things add up. Letā€™s hop to before gortaā€™s vote.

Top wagon is Anagram, with Raven right behind.
I already talked about how gorta viewed Zone d1, earlier in this post, so go read that if you wanna see his (bad) progression.

Wazza votes Zone. (I called this out for TMI on gorta, but I didnā€™t know what he was TMIā€™ing gorta as. This is ironically one of the only posts that is making me waver slightly on my scumread on gorta)
Anyways, hereā€™s the VC:

Voted Voters Votes
darth_tabor Zone_Q11 1/5
Raven Yawn, Anagram 2/5
Anagram Raven, Trivial, darth_tabor 3/5
Zone Wazza 1/5

Mole votes Raven, which ties the wagons:

Voted Voters Votes
darth_tabor Zone_Q11 1/5
Raven Yawn, Anagram, Moleland 3/5
Anagram Raven, Trivial, darth_tabor 3/5
Zone Wazza 1/5

Raven is now in trouble, and could die.

Zone selfvotes because lolzone

Voted Voters Votes
Raven Yawn, Anagram, Moleland 3/5
Anagram Raven, Trivial, darth_tabor 3/5
Zone Wazza, Zone 2/5

Next up is gortaā€™s vote. Letā€™s do some scenarios
1. Gorta is town:
Gorta votes Zone as a genuine scumread of his.
2. Gorta is a wolf:
Anagram wagon wonā€™t pick up, and he doesnā€™t have the progression needed to vote me. The only thing isā€¦ Raven has Zone as their top townread, so Raven wonā€™t be moving to Zone. They have to rely on townies moving off of Raven and voting Zone.

Occamā€™s Razor says Gorta is town from basic VCA.

But:

Hereā€™s the attempt to get a vote off of Raven and onto Zone. Option 2 is now valid. It will bring Zone to 4/5 (perhaps 3/5 if Zone unvotes), and Raven will be 2/5 - saving him.


Okay yeah, gorta is a wolf. Like heā€™s just a straight up wolf. The only things going for him are Occamā€™s Razor from VCA, and a single post from Wazza that could TMI him as town. I planned on going into this objectively but it ended up being more of a case than I expected.

He has horrible progression on players like Zone and Raven, is oddly obsessed with the d1 Wazza RVS votes, asks a million questions but never comments on or analyzes the answers, posts only when he doesnā€™t have to interact with other players, says a million times that he is going to do things, rather than just doing them, has all his scumreads based on associations, and all his townreads based on meta and tone.

This is just a wolf.

Yeah i dont give a shit, i see vote i count it, so guess what im petty too. So yeah those votes count. Sue me :ok_hand:

Zone Zone 1/4
Darth Yawn 1/4

Iā€™m fine with you or me. Iā€™m 99% sure the last wolf is between Zone and Gorta.

The way I see it game is pretty much solved. Zone and Gorta go in the next two Hell phases, and in the very slim chance they are both town (which I really doubt), we should be fine because both of us will be in Heaven and weā€™re both willing to put in as much time as needed to make the right decision.

That being said, I donā€™t see that scenario happening, but Iā€™d like to have it covered just in case.

and u can count that as official

Im counting the votes i see, still ping cheese, it helps with finding em for him, but yeah they all count

ā€¦fine by me. Itā€™s less work in the end.

/vote darth_tabor

@Anagram
@an_gorta_pratai
@darth_tabor

I know Trivial wonā€™t listen to Anagram because they want to up gorta or themself, so when are you three going to vote for darth?

Can I go first?

Not yet. Wonā€™t be till EoD. I want to keep ISOing people and talking to people.

Also
As certain as I am that darth is town here, I donā€™t want to get them to 3/4 until after I have had a chance to ISO-dive them and quell my paranoia.

If we get a wolf to 3/4 and they selfvote its gg.

Speaking of which, we need to all be on board for whatever we decide today. If we have two wagons, and one is on a wolf, they can just swap votes last minute and be ballsy and force a rand or get majority.

Ya feel?

~ Player 1

Listen, my play this game has been sucky, but I am not a wolf.

Yes, because Zone isnā€™t the player to make a random vote, which is why I asked. Zone is the type to tunnel and do everything they can to get their target killed. Zone voting Wazza, but never tunneling it makes me think that that is a wolf

That read is genuine from me. Itā€™s the same method of reading Zone I used in SFoL 61.3.

To get into someones head and see what their thought process is. That kind of stuff helps me with reads

Partially, but I just like insurance that others wonā€™t follow me if things ever clear said person. ā€œyou led the execution to a IC and didnā€™t unvoteā€ is just the worst thing when town and letā€™s say sleeping during the EoD

I got w/w associations when I read the ISO of the flipped wolf and Raven, which is why my read changed. If it makes you feel any better I think you are probably town now, but I can go explain the posts that initially pinged me next phase. A lot of that was how everyone went from having you as their top scum read to top town read, which I found odd and partner-y. It didnā€™t help that you did the same.

I agree with that actually. That being said I still donā€™t want the pressure of winning the game in my hands, even if there are 2-3 townies in heaven by that point.

I have been giving reads and trying to re-eval, but I am just a lazy bastard

I get what you want, butā€¦ to put it simply, it sucks to be me. My voice is worthless, and nobody will vote me up, so the best I can do is join a wagon.

When it comes to wagons though, there canā€™t be any counterwagons, because:

  • Anagram/darth_tabor/Yawn wonā€™t vote for an_gorta_pratai because PoE
  • Zone_Q11 is in PoE with an_gorta_pratai
  • Anagram wants to stay alive and solve the game
  • Nobody ups Yawn and Trivial for reasons unknown

Not even in RVS in a game where I have no grudge towards anyone?

I donā€™t think you would do that. I could be very wrong though
