I'm back on a thing with an actual keyboard, I'll read some isolations in a bit, but before I do that

Precarious, could you please answer my question I asked a long time ago?

yo dude, why did you unvote DBP when you were just pushing on him the day before?

You might think my question, my game, or even my entire existence as a human being is shit, but I still find that weird about your interaction with DBP, and I actually want to know the answer.

pls notice me Precarious-senpai

While I think Charu doing that gambit is way more risky than you seem to think, that post was way funnier than it probably should have been, +1 for that mate

Okay, I'll read some stuff now, but I'll be around if you guys want to address something directly at me in the meantime

I thought I answered this previously, but I needed to step back and reevaluate my own play, and I felt that I was tunneling on DBP because of the hypocrisy surrounding their vote. Hypocrisy bothers me in mafia/TWG because it's about half a step removed from dishonesty, which typically strongly correlates with wolfiness. But there really wasn't that much there, and when people led me to go back to that brief DBP-Charu interaction, I more or less concluded that I was overreading. After that, DBP was missing in action for a while, and there wasn't a lot to go on. I'm actually tending back toward wolf-reading DBP again now, just because they've been so hesitant to say/do anything game related unless absolutely forced to.

Okay, caught up. Here are my current feelings on anyone.

***

Hakulyte - null to town. Although I'm kind of wavering here. It's not even that Haku did anything that screams "wolf" to me, so much as no one is screaming wolf, and Haku is my least confident read based on active players. I don't want to totally go into some sort of post distribution thing, but it's hard to believe that all the wolves/sk would be low-ish posters/high posters that blend in.

Zodiac - Null. At this point, not an obligatory null, there's just not quite enough there for me to comfortably evaluate him.

ShadoWolfe - Upgraded to null. Regardless of the sincerity of the vig claim, they've played...unburdened today so far. Feels tonally different. It would be a poor decision to lynch at this stage anyway, given the claim.

danceflashrevo - null, possibly sinking. I just feel like DFR is sort of holding back.

Charu - Mechanically town unless counterclaimed.

DaBackpack - null to wolf. Possible SK as well. Late vote, absent (even with reason) so much, and combined with lack of real content it feels like they're avoiding sticking their neck out.

Precarious - Town.

roundbox - Town. However, this is hard for me to evaluate fairly, since they've said a lot of philosophical things about the game that I strongly agree with. The thing is, I'd say those things regardless of alignment myself, because while they're good for the game and good for the town, they're often so abstract that they might not make a huge difference in an individual game. But overall, I feel like roundbox is playing in a pro-town direction.

botchi246 - null to wolf. I think I might have been overreading him earlier, but the style of play is very much a blending in type, which is concerning.

XelNya - More interesting today, since there was some actual content. Xel now reminds me of someone I played with elsewhere who was aggressively absurd on D0/D1, then suddenly would reform and play seriously. I need more to shore up that comparison, and that person played like that regardless of alignment. Still, Xel's Vig Box is in line with how I feel generally, and including himself is gutsy. Null, but I prefer this null, if that makes sense.

juckter1 - null to wolf. Not completely thrilled with juckter this game. The odd thing is that it's not something that I can isolate from individual posts, it's more an impression (which was probably exacerbated by inactivity). I know he's given a reason for it, but I still feel like his posts are lacking something. I do think that coming after me to answer his question is a good thing, because it feels like he's trying to figure something out, which is townish.

mellonxcollie - slight wolfish tint with some SK scattered around the edges. Has been pretty shy about advancing ideas other than the argument with me, which again feels overly reluctant.

***

Basically, I don't have very strong wolf reads on anyone, but I see some troubling stuff in several people. I feel like I'm conceptually punishing what I perceive as low contributors, so I'm going to reread.

It kinda makes sense, I understand why you place me as null, but I'm not sure how mechanically it's a good thing maybe. But you got something turning in your head so *shrug*. It's good.

I'll do a bit of actual recatching up after I shower and eat some tacos.
