So now I need to be way less townie for a very long time and I am sure you people wont be able to handle that. Only a problem if you are mafia… 🙂 | ||

But it could be a double bluff of "its stupid so it's obviously not me being mafia" but then we keep going into recursion. Reads like a mess is kinda my mo. Not intentionally though. If a random early townread is being characterised by you as ‘so scummy’, I’m really looking forward to how you categorise really scummy stuff later in the game | ||

If you’re friendly and compassionate guy that does your best for other people, I assume you value 9 (9?) other townies townreading you as more important than your own meta, right? | ||

Well there are always more townies, so from a compassionate friendly perspective, in future games it is also best to be as easily townread when town as well | ||

I now have to decide if you sort of see yourself as the "marv whisperer" trying to make an early god read. Or are you trying to pocket marv which is more suspicious. I flatter myself to think I am extremely hard to pocket | ||

Don't mafia teammates try to create seperation between each other typically? Well actually it wasn’t simultaneous exactly, it was cleverly crafted where Koshi said something about VE and the only reason I mentioned it at all was because of what Koshi said. Next level play in that case! | ||

Why hedge when multiple people are making reads in the thread. 3.) essentially replicates a x and x can;t be mafia together heuristic that was getting Jacob town reads earlier in the thread. 4.) sheeps a read, and town reads strong players who have that read without bringing anything new to the table. Basically, reads like a post to make a post, and the main aim that I can see is to ingratiate himself with some of the stronger players. so yeah, could be a new player thing, could be a scum thing. But either way I don't like it. Hedging this early is super natural regardless. I mean ultimately you may be right (hedging  ) - but I don’t think it’s because of this. And it’s a different reason to townread VE than previously mentioned. I hadn’t said anything about my reason | ||

On August 25 2023 23:22 DarthPunk wrote: You are the LS whisperer apparently. I didn't like how he used IRL to exit the thread as soon as he was under pressure. Reminds me of the last time he was mafia. Also, this: very disconnected from the thread, no one thinks this so why is he asking this? the position on Jacob generally is slight town read. It's like a halfhearted effort to change the direction of the discourse from himself, to like the most out their topic before he nopes out of the thread. I’m not gonna tell anyone how to read LS. But for me: 1. Is he invested? 2. Do his emotional reactions seem genuine? Are what I’m looking for. Sure LS could be mafia (although I have no reason to think so currently), but I think if you’re gonna lynch him for inconsistencies or disconnected from what’s going on in the thread right now, or thinking weirdly, then you’re gonna lynch him every single damn game. | ||

I feel at least one of these might be mafia unless it's just a meta circle of town. I know if I'm not going to trust anyone inherently though it'll be these three even though I have nothing solid. Happy to bandwagon LS for info though. You know i genuinely hate excluding new players with ‘in’ jokes or whatever and will often go to lengths to encourage them to contribute. That doesn’t mean I also don’t like to shoot the shit a little with old friends and foes, though I wouldn’t read too much into it (the chit chat, obvs read stuff into gameplay stuff as much as you like :p) | ||

The bolded was why I felt that whole ChatGPT thing was forced it was trying to hard to be funny or he just trying to bait people idk which one it is. Regarding Marv and Koshi defending me: I was kinda surprised with the way they defended me but it does solidify my read on Koshi and Marv. Side note I do think DP is town based upon how he was with me the last 2 games. Why? Specifically relating to me | ||
