I should say that I don't think it's super likely that Palmar and die_meatbaby are mafia together. But that's unflipped association analysis and I shouldn't rule it out regardless, just an interesting point.

It's mostly just generic reasons to call me mafia and he can't even find the text pieces to prove what he's saying. I've been far from a blend-in playstyle.

This post here also shows a mafia mindset, not arguing against the substance of what I'm saying, which is that his first post he did not read the thread and tried to reach a conclusion about my alignment, but instead he followed thread sentiment and quoted I few things from my post to appear to be contributing.

In the post above he dismisses it as generic and quibbles about me not finding text pieces, which is classic mafia sentiment for "you are accusing me for the wrong reasons"

This btw is a genuinely very scummy post. Not because of it's context but because of the thought process behind it.

Sandroba can easily just say "well Palmar looks town so I go murder train on Vivax", but instead he does "independent research" and comes to the same conclusion to justify his vote. It's forced "case".

This is a scummy post if Vivax flips mafia and it's also scummy if Vivax flips town.

But the good thing is that it locks in Sandroba's vote on Vivax so I don't care for now. Can only lynch one dude today.
Ignoring Palmar's push onto Vivax. I don't know how alignment indicative it is. This is the first thing that really sticks out in Palmar's filter from an alignment indicative perspective, I don't think Palmar's reasoning here is valid. Let's check this.

This is post #794. What did sandroba think about Palmar before this? Answer: likely town. Fair enough, maybe I stand corrected. I still think this is a big mischaracterization of what sandroba is doing though.

Doubling down on it, and calling Alakaslam a troll feels very off, especially given that they were masoned together and Palmar's reasoning earlier. I actually think this is an important point, the first important point I'm seeing from Palmar (in terms of alignment indicativeness).

The house of brown has found it time to end your mafia-ness.

Scummy
Wait, why is this scummy? I somehow haven't seen this post before. Especially given that Chezinu flipped mafia, the callout on my vote looks worse. More than being wrong in that Chezinu was mafia, it feels discrediting. Then again it's also Palmar and Palmar can just kinda be like this, so idk.

Triples down on calling Alakaslam a troll. I don't get how he can say this, Alakaslam isn't a troll anymore, and especially not this game.

I must add, I find the descriptions of Palmar and sandroba's mason chat rather amusing.

The list on you is me, Koshi, Marv and Holyflare.

You say "don't let the mafia steamroll this lynch on me".

Are these mafia-steamrollers in the room with us right now?
Palmar isn't really townreading these people though, is he? Meh, he tentatively is, except for Holyflare. Actually, he's probably saying this from sandroba's perspective, so this is all invalid.

This Chez lynch is such a crapshoot. But I'm almost tempted to just not do anything about it and see it through. I feel like the game is in a bad state at the moment so maybe rolling the dice is a good idea.

How is the game in a bad state? You said that it was a productive Day 1 and you have a strong scumread? I'm really confused about where the uncertainty is coming from. At times Palmar seems certain about sandroba being mafia, like enough to not take him super seriously in the mason chat, but also Palmar says stuff like this.

Vote count before Palmar switched his vote to Chezinu. I can see Palmar's perspective that lynching Chezinu was purely a policy lynch, but going for it at this point over his strong scumread (or is it a strong scumread)? of sandroba seems off to me. I need to reread his filter again but paying attention to the sandroba scumread, it's like I somehow missed the part where Palmar isn't actually sure if sandroba is mafia and is significantly doubting it. But I just didn't see that stated.

My interactions with him felt like he wasn't annoyed and incredulous enough at being accused of being mafia. He almost "accepted" being called mafia and tried to push for a different lynch.

Now this isn't a scummy thing in itself, a good townie will push for alternative lynches, but the problem is I feel like townies tend to almost always get angry about being called scum when they aren't.

It's largely an emotional read on sandro.
Okay I just really don't get it.

No conclusion just yet, need to double check. Also I'm tired and I don't quite trust myself to come up with a valid conclusion at this point. But two points that stick out.
1 - Palmar says he thinks Alakaslam is town day 1, then day 2 calls him a troll/unreadable, then day 3 calls him town for the same reason Palmar said Alakaslam was town on day 1. This doesn't make much sense to me. I could see Palmar giving Alakaslam a pass on day 1 and then looking into it more on day 2+, but going back to it FOR THE EXACT SAME REASONS seems suspect.
2 - Palmar's read on sandroba day 2 especially made no sense. Sandroba was one of his top scumreads, and he seemed confident in that read, but he also kept saying things where he seemed to be doubting. It's like he was simultaneously both confident in that read and doubting that read.

In the end I don't really know what to think of Palmar, I was thinking he was town before and now I'm really not so sure. But my energy for quality analysis is pretty much gone at this point, I'll try and follow up on these things tomorrow. Curious if people have any thoughts on die_meatbaby and Palmar for these reasons or others.
Palmar, do you have any thoughts on point (1) above? Something I am missing or not understanding maybe?

No not really. Slam is a troll player who did some things that I thought might be townie.

Day 1: slam does something townie so he gets a pass
N1/D2: slam does very little I think is townie, so my townread fades a little
N2/D3: slam helped kill mafia, so he renews his pass

I would still fully support a vigilante killing him. He is very difficult to read and because he doesn't really play the game it's hard to figure out his alignment.

But what little I can divine into his alignment leads me to think that he's more likely to be town than not.
Oh, I see. I suppose that's understandable. Thanks.

I do really like Wingspan, engine builders in general are pretty fun. I do think that if you only have the base game (no expansions), the wild nests get a bit unbalanced. If you are able to get a few birds with wild nest types, you can pretty easily win each end-of-round condition since they are all related to nest types. I have heard that the expansions make this less pronounced by adding other end-of-round bonus point conditions unrelated to nest types, but I haven't tried any expansions yet. Glad you are enjoying it


@Holyflare, do you know when you might be able to share your reasoning for Palmar being mafia? I still need to look over sandroba's reasoning again but right now I'm just not seeing it Feeling pretty blind.

I agree, I kinda don't think raynpelikoneet is mafia. I know he's burned me before as mafia though, and there is someone who is sneaking by who I'm not really seeing. My guess was it was either you (Palmar) or raynpelikoneet, I could definitely see that being wrong though since I feel I have more reasons to townread you both than scumread you.

Like I could see raynpelikoneet being mafia, it wouldn't really surprise me, but it doesn't make anywhere near as much sense as I would like to have any sort of confidence in it.

I need to reread Alakaslam, Holyflare, and sandroba.

I thought die_meatbaby was mafia due to how she played day 2, her vote on Chezinu screamed bussing to me. She was so focused on her Palmar read but was content to go along with everyone and vote for Chezinu in what felt like an afterthought.

would like to see who you ACTULLY DO think is mafia, please?
I think die_meatbaby is mafia. For realzies, all the bells and whistles and all that.

Past that I don't know. I'm missing something in this game, my best reason for that is that someone who is good at mafia is completely fooling me. The hard part is figuring out who that could be.

Holyflare says Palmar is obvious mafia, which I find very interesting, I look forward to hearing why.

I also didn't like the way die_meatbaby voted for Vivax on Day 1 but marvellosity disagreed with me about that. Your point about die_meatbaby trying to keep Vivax alive is valid, part of me wonders if mafia!die_meatbaby would do that just because she still wants town!Vivax in the game even if it isn't necessarily beneficial for her winning but it's hard to say.

I also don't feel like the desire to get Palmar lynched is genuine. Could be wrong about this for sure, she says a lot of words on Palmar, but my instinct is that the motivation isn't really behind it. Could be wrong. That's most of it, I also don't really have a ton of reasons to townread her I suppose? Other than the Vivax thing.

Do you have an opinion of yours on that?
Honestly I'm just not seeing Palmar as mafia. Like theoretically it could be possible, but I'm not sure if Palmar's play this game is in the range of his scum play (to be fair I don't really know what his scum play range is, I just was under the impression that it wasn't quite on the level of someone like you or Holyflare). I looked through his filter, there were a few things that came up but nothing seriously scummy. One of the main points I had on him ended up having a somewhat plausible explanation. Furthermore, I do believe marvellosity is town and I trust marvellosity's read on Palmar, he said he's going to re-evaluate that over the course of the day but for now that's still a townread.

I think perhaps the most likely answer is that one of my assumptions are wrong and that Holyflare or sandroba or Alakaslam is mafia. I have no idea why they would be mafia though, I'm hoping to get through some filter dives sooner or later.

The marvellosity part is only a small part. But it still stands.

I don't really see anything atypical from Palmar's posting, which is why I have a hard time seeing him as mafia. I'd normally townread him but I'm having a lot of trouble finding the last mafia.

Not a ton to be honest? You guys were both kinda agreeing, in the case that you're both town. IIRC you said sandroba would be the most likely mafia in this case? I'd have to check.

What was I supposed to have gathered from the discussion? Like not that it was bad by any means, but I didn't get the same takeaways from it that you and Palmar seem to have.

If I'm being honest I don't know what your takeaways were. I might need to reread it because I feel like it went completely over my head, I can try and look again once I get through Holyflare's filter.

I thought you were also suspicious of raynpelikoneet and to a lesser extent sandroba? When you have a moment, I'm curious why die_meatbaby is more likely mafia than them?

Holyflare's reads have been changing a lot, probably the person with the most fluid reads I've read so far. Really the only person in the game with truly fluid reads, except for possibly Alakaslam? But that's a bit different. I don't know if this makes Holyflare mafia or town, I don't see a ton of mafia motivation in his posts though. I don't really like his day 2 stance about saying Chezinu was mafia but not wanting to lynch him because a non-policy lynch gives more information, but I can't say that Holyflare doesn't actually think this.

The main thing that sticks out to me is the day2 -> day 3 read progression. He was heavily suspicious of sandroba, and raynpelikoneet, and Palmar, and then ends up with a scumteam of Palmar and die_meatbaby. I feel like there are a lot of missing steps there. To be fair Holyflare said he didn't have much time to explain, so I am guessing an explanation is coming, but for now that's the thing I find most suspicious.

I guess also, the way Holyflare bounced around day 2 between all the aforementioned suspects without seeming to really settle on a preferred lynch/push seems kinda weird, just letting thread sentiment go ahead and lynch Chezinu without much protest? But I can't say for sure he wouldn't do that as town.

I also kinda think that the asking how many mafia there are thing is suspicious but that's really stupid and pointless and if Holyflare is mafia surely there are better reasons to find than that.

In conclusion I don't really think Holyflare is mafia but he's burned me a million times so who knows. If he's mafia I don't really have any reasons as to why.

Also that really is a townread with possibility of being wrong. I suppose you can add a lack of investment about who gets lynched as a reason, but I still don't think the reasons are strong. Holyflare's overall play feels inquisitive and it truly feels like he is trying to figure things out.

Why?
I don't think others agree about this but it seemed like she voted her lesser scumreads Day 1 and Day 2 and was very content with a thread sentiment lynch while I would have expected her to prefer someone else given her filter. Mostly this involved Palmar.

Day 1, she voted for Vivax despite saying very little about Vivax and focusing on Palmar and a few other things. It feels like she didn't really believe Vivax was mafia but just went along with it.

Day 2, most incriminating imo, she voted for Chezinu despite focusing on Palmar all day. Her read progressions/view of the game doesn't line up with being content to lynch Chezinu, to me anyway. It feels like a bus.

His vote onto Chezinu. I actually do think it's suspicious, how he voted for Chezinu despite seemingly being more invested in Holyflare and/or sandroba being mafia and talking more about them.

Can you also make me a big ass post on this, what you actually think about this, so i can make some sense of this train of thought of yours?
I am in bed and don't really want to get up and go to my computer and pull up a bunch of quotes but I suppose I can if necessary. Honestly it is just the impression I got though.

You spent more time talking about and pushing Holyflare and sandroba, then seemed content to lynch Chezinu and mostly talked about him after the wagon got going. This partially has a plausible explanation in that it's kinda hard to discuss Chezinu a ton. Holyflare was kinda similar for example (being okay with Chezinu's lynch but not passionate about it, and focusing on other things) but he said he would have preferred a different lynch for more information. You didn't have a reason like that.

Like it isn't unreasonable to see that coming from a town perspective, it makes enough sense. But I do think it was natural for this to happen as mafia too, like it makes sense for mafia to act that way.

I don't think you are mafia, I'm kinda grasping at straws and don't know who is mafia though Bleh.

D1 end she almost ended up lynching sandroba (votes were 6-6). At the end yeah she didnt really believe Vivax was mafia. What's wrong with her play here on D1? I don't like defending other people but you, jsut like fucking Koshi and HF for instance like to take half of the story and try to make it fit your narrative, it's fucking annoying. I was there, she tried to make sandroba lynch instead of Vivax, anything else you claim is wrong.

She could be bussing D2, i can see that.
I was ignoring the deadline play. Iirc she came back with about an hour and a half until the flip, I was ignoring this period. BEFORE the vote switch and that last deadline activity, I stand by my statements.

I don't think that die_meatbaby's flailing at eod1 is easy to get much from. I could see arguments both ways, and it's also tough without knowing sandroba's alignment for sure. Your point about how it makes her town is probably the best. But I think the points before (before those last few hours to the deadline) and after (day 2) are more impactful.

I'm not intentionally trying to mischaracterize someone's play. If I have done so I apologize, it is either due to my flawed interpretation or misreading key information, not something I do intentionally. At least not as town.
