Help for Proxy night actions, generating content for scumhunting, attempt at controlling voting trends, reaction testing, maintaining credibility by using humanisation process @ being part of a group.

I think that's about it.

More of a town lean and not a read
But noted.

attempt at controlling voting trends, how. just because somebody is your friend you're expecting the votes to be placed the same way?

reaction testing, and what have you gotten from your shit so far in terms of reaction testing?

maintaining credibility by using humanisation process @ being part of a group. shouldn't have to use being in a group for maintaining credibility, you should maintain that by actually playing and looking for scum and making good pushes

I think that's about it.

And so again, I say your friends thing is dumb and I will not be taking part of it. I'll be playing by looking for ACTUAL connections and scumhunting.

[Gradiant]

Actually, let's do this for now. haku
This just looks like a bunch of shit to look useful and busy but it's not actually doing anything

[MixMasterLar]

leaving now. Whenever someone ask where I am show them this

The idea of Friends vs Not Friends is to generate interactions. Honestly, it won't matter in the end which group you are in because this is not how wolves will be found.

The real evaluation starts after that where you check out if everyone is making independant plays and try to get the game in the same direction or if something weird happens.

It's literally individual thinking vs group thinking here and I think mixed with actions/intentions/meta etc. that this should be a good enough system to start making real reads.

You get to check if the player is trying to join the group and potentially sheep reads/be opportunistic or if they decide to refuse and keep playing independantly like you're doing. I think it's significant.

Yeah, the phase is supposed to develop with these awkward interactions and slowly get somewhere by itself. Depending on how conflicts are generated it should be possible to start figuring out intentions and get votes going around that.

Sunfan is kinda weird and it's kind of funny that he wants to be my friend.

MML is not that weird. I won't be able to get a solid read on him until he gets more invested. I somehow missed that work was holding him back.

Celirra is null atm, but not particularly suspicious. He just likes playing weird for some reason and I'm expecting him to shift playstyle when he actually sees something relevant.

DBP is interesting because it's rare that I actually get scum read over something so small. So, I'm kind of curious of what he's doing and also of how he sees my play overall.

Getting there. I know I have straightforward boring posts, but they do contain my entire game plan and intentions overall.

You do you.

Is it possible for me to choose a wolf as the vigi?

Proxy Partner is decided before game starts. They just don't know if they're Vigi or Doc until N2 where they can start using their night action.

I get that. You didn't answer my question.

[Hakulyte]

Proxy Partner is a blue role.
Blue roles cannot be red.
Therefore "no" is your answer.

[blindreper1179]

Jk, night 1 hasn't happened yet.

[Hakulyte]

The point is that Seer doesn't choose someone in this game.
The Seer only choose what role the other blue role will have.

So you're saying, if I chose a red, we don't get a vigi, and I just know a red instead? Seems wrong

On the scale of obvious PR hunting, blind is currently 8/10.

Now that makes sense, wasn't fully understanding. Sorry dbp, can't choose you

Also Haku's 'friends' thing is fucking dumb. That is all.

Do you also think I'm cute?
