fwiw I signed up to this with the intention to just chill for this one. playercount looked hype.

I stopped playing because I got worn out with reading the thread over and over trying to find something when all in all I'm really not that good at forming these reads.

So I get it if I look like I'm playing less... because in a way I kinda am. Just don't wanna do ISO's because they suck to do. Gonna read the posts once when they come in then go off that.

you're read the thread a lot? can you just drop some rough reads then

isos do suck and no one likes them you can still give reads without them right, you don't even normally iso I feel?

why shoot tbz and what are you referring to about what texas said? i dont remember anything like this
literally I'm sussing TBZ because he doesn't have a concrete read on me and that's not the town!tbz way

i can't be arsed getting the tex message yet because i'm at work, for the same reason I'm yet to read all of the posts between me going to bed and me posting
 
i can understand celever scum in the first few pages but i really think around 11 or 12 (around when he starts talking about communism) he becomes normal town celever. idk maybe its its own issue that it took a minute to hit his stride. im thinking about it hes certainly different

I mostly don't buy celever not caring about the game if I'm honest or like the lack of contribution etc into tryhard

I'm ngl I forget exactly what he said early but he did feel like he was faking non chalance in some way, given how he normally views forum mafia games

He's referring to a specific Dusk post from early day 1 when he and you were squabbling that I felt was alignment indicative, it has stakes and emotion behind it in a way that I felt gave insight into how dusk was approaching the game, as opposed to banter or game observations that could be made as either player. What he's taking issue with is that I said the post was alignment indicative but couldn't tell which one, which is essentially how I'm feeling about dusk as a whole, that post and his game are more probable coming from town!dusk but it wasn't so clear cut I could be sure on it and dusk is good enough to be able to make said post/play said game as scum. In other words there's a reason dusk is only in my third tier of town sided play because their burden of proof is higher for me to be sure of my reasons on their alignment

Lady Salamence what made you so sure on aura? i dont feel like ive ever seen you with that much conviction on a read before
you didnt like the answer before and you're not gonna like it now, but - i wasn't trusting my read on him, i was doing the exact opposite, coupled with other wagons being less appealing to mee. by the time he was around for EOD, i was looking for other wagons to join. i had been on AG since i town read him earlier in the day and have a literal 0% batting average in those environments. so seeing others scum read him, i was like, man i've done this so many times where AG goes down to sus and i'm sitting there thinking "no he's clearly town" and then flips mafia - so i moved my vote to him off realiti once realiti stopped being a totally useless player. iirc you specifically were like, "yo this reasoning fuckin sucks"

eod comes and the viable wagons i see are zippy and caff. i ask like twice for a caff wagon explanation and got ignored both times. meanwhile zippy's acting exactly like how im used to town zippy acting so im less keen to move onto him, especially after joat where he went for my neck because i'm supposedly the one that cost town the game there. then the ehmcee train shows up out of nowhere and i'm not seeing the logic (which is maybe moreso a lack of trust of realiti), so I hold on AG on the trust of earlier-cycle me.

How come you've been disengaged from solving?
idt I am? as a general statement I have played so many games of mafia at this point that I'm more apathetic to individual games if you're talking on an emotional level

think my worldview is fairly clear though and am catching up on what happens

what the deal with the ehmcee push?
