Posting GTH reads on everyone is a way to get started. You could also try asking questions to poke in people's worldviews

it's a quick solution for a problem that needs more work
also, how many games have you played with a solo wolf?

can you clarify "and it feels like blindly voting them is the same as rng."?

them = ?

It feels like blindly voting xelnya is the same as rng.

Didnt mean to be gone so long, did family stuff after Captain D's, basically kicked everyone's assess at Bust A Move/Puzzle Bobble 2

I feel relieved I didn’t accidentally make someone think I was new this game because I have accidentally done that before and it makes me feel really badly.

Oh yeah I do remember you. I was Raeko's backup and followed the game. The CFD at the end was crazy but honestly it's her fault for not being more active

❤️ You Raeko

A short overview of everyone who has posted:

Haze: Is mostly playing the "fish out of water" role for now. Their posts are largely about the playerlist or their history, no real attempts to move the game forward. They did ask if people are voted out D1 here, which can be seen as a little blendy, but according to them it's typical of where they're from.
XelNya: Still not the biggest fan. Announced a decision to slank, then seemingly went back on it when they started getting scrutiny. Most of their posts afterwards have focused on whether or not there was a N0, but they don't seem to be making a larger point here.
MML: Is the N0 thing a slip? I mean, their opener says the game started one hour before their post, so by their logic there couldn't be a N0? I don't know, it could be a deliberate attempt to try to make it look like they don't have TMI. From what I remember, this bullheadedness isn't atypical of them so it could just be that. Don't really have any strong feelings for them voting for someone who isn't even here; they seem to be someone who would want the game to be pushed forward but haven't done terribly much in the grand scheme of things, granted they disappeared after posing a question to Haze.
mellon collie: Still pretty much hasn't done anything, just having two responses to people that aren't terribly game related.
Zenith: Just posed a question that was remarkably similar to one Haze did earlier. Again, they've basically done nothing.

I guess that leaves roundbox as the winner™ of the slanker award.

This is try-hard for the first phase and what content we have but probably a townie try-hard. Leetic is a newish player IIRC and I think this is them not knowing where to go in the game. A wolf chat would probably soak up idle thoughts like this so it

Also Leetic is my check so like, obviously reading as town

Speaking of which any of the vets thinking that HypoCop is fishy here can go bellyflop on a jellyfish. If you're new and don't know what that means then note I said -if- and keep moving.

As a rule this is true
There are some exceptions but generally I never regret voting out the slackers on the early phases

It was a shit post, a funny way to start the phase

I've seen towns, wolves, third party fractions, and co-hosts do it over the years

it feels forced, like spouting a reads list as soon as you've been wolfread

on that note, here's where everyone stands

not a reads list

Had my hopes up
Sorta agree on the Zenith read but don't want to just have you come in only after being voted and only really pushing the one who made the vote, if you feel me

Is the Zenith thing a sheep of roundbox?

[MixMasterLar]

Overall actually pleased there's some real discussion in the game right now

I think I'll be honest and state that I feel I can read Xel better in later phases, and voting for him this early just feels like I would only do so to make a point against his subpar play

Which I'm not above doing, like screw dipping out on a phase, but we only get so many games a seasons these days I hate to not play to win

that'd be against the rules

I have an easier time rendering judgment on xel and zenith since their posts are in a fixed state
everyone else is in the process of posting, so I'm still judging them
note my complete lack of vote on zenith

[leetic]

The fact that we have a Seer means that by itself the fact that someone is slanking doesn't mean we should vote them, as they can be resolved mechanically. We might end up lynching the seer by accident if we don't keep this in mind

[MixMasterLar]

Just noted inviting is the opposite of unvoting and Jesus I had to right that twice before my phone didnt just re-correct it

Your lack of vote and your calm defensive tone are both noted

I feel like Xel wouldn't be bad enough to do this sort of play as seer but yeah you're probably right

I had the same thought about his tone :thinking:

[_Zenith_]

unvote

hi Zenith!~

his play is objectively anti-town

I agree with this sentiment

raeko is still ignoring this post
that makes me sad
I'm giving you another question: who is the towniest thus far in your eyes?

[roundbox]

"push" is a bit of an overstatement here
I'd rank it as light suspicion

[roundbox]

light treason, if you will

It's a push

I just caught up with reading actually, seems like the conversation literally spurred up the very moment I left the thread haha.

This has happened and it sucks but from experience keeping inactives around for late stages have never been in towns favor

I've seen town bounce back from dead PRs killed on the first phase, but never from 2 inactives in the Final Three

I don't know if I want to try playing around a PR that isn't playing just simply because they're a Power Role

----

That said, who really is slanking right now?
For Xel it's NAI (Not Alignment Indicative) because it just always how he is. Shit, if he was super active that would mean he was a role that he found personally interesting and for this game it'll be scum. I almost am tempted to clear him on his other wolfy play, but will give him a phase to see how he responds to stuff that shall happen later

For Zenith, IIRC this is their meta always, both roles

I generally do vote out the inactives first phase because they've proven to be an issue moving forward before, but of these two I would only entertain Zenith right now

.....I will not vote yet, though
