One of ya'll ain't town

I've mostly been skimming, but I think it's interesting that XelNya seems the first (or one of the first, at least) to bring up a serious notion for suspicion of someone.

the only situation where you're not completely dumb for choosing tracker over vigi is if both of the other town roles are forced to claim today, and town deserves to lose if that happens
pick vigi between the two

while it gives the hider one more target to die to, that shouldn't matter too too much if what I'm playing with works out

i do what i want!!!

but I am a \bit\ worried you feel this way

Of all the people in the game, why are you concerned about XelNya of all people being suspicious of you? And at Day 1 even?

Someone rush me to the hospital I might be sick or something.

I was feeling unsure of what I wanted to take out of XelNya's serious comment (i.e. was he a Human that actually was worried about something or a Wolf that decided to get some discussion going to look good, as two examples), but given his comment here, I think it implies that he wasn't really intending for his comment to have any major repercussions. As a Wolf, I imagine he would have some foresight before making the post about sunfan's and Charu's interactions. So the fact that he didn't seem to be thinking about it makes me feel he's slightly Human.

Because honestly I'd rather see you put that effort into finding wolves than trying to supposedly "break" the game

Not that stacking the odds in our favor isn't good for us, but wolves use that technique to appear like they're being useful without using actual critical thinking

(And of course in doing so, they're harming town because they have an agenda)

While it's true that a Wolf will offer strategies beneficial to the Humans, it should also be recognized that Humans can do the same thing! Of course, if sunfan never brought up suspicions or anything, I would agree with your stance of seeing his reads, but I feel like it was rather too early for him to give anything of much substance at that moment in time.

Besides, if he figures out the setup, that's less work for me!

Why do you find it sketchy?

What was Dabackpack's read at the time? He had never explicitly declared by that point that he felt sunfan was Human or Wolfy. What about what Dabackpack said made you feel it was towny?

Just commenting that this isn't always the case. Maybe something like "discuss whom the seer should seer" is something that can be taken advantage of, but strategies like "we should mass claim if such and such happens" or "we lynch these unconfirmeds and do this special powery uppy thing" and the like. In any game though, discussion of game mechanics should be read as a null tell, from my experience.

XelNya saying not,giving a f,then posting nonsensical stuff is scummy.

Mr. P coming into thread attempting to make a joke to what seems like insertting self in conversation is scummy, but I like his response me calling his posts boring.

Everyone else is boring.

Do something. Impress me enough to where I want to come back.

I'm confused by your logic regarding XelNya. So then, if XelNya said he didn't care about the game and then stopped posting or posted serious stuff, would you think that's Human of him?

Not too sure what you mean about Chariplop, but I'm figuring you couldn't clarify since you were apparently phoneposting.

1 - DaBack of Packs - towny feel, one of the only people i notice pushing questions around
2 - Red Blastoise - I want a meta reading Xel seems to have a good one on RB, seems to be trying not sure if it's self pres or rep pres
3 - rzrzrzrzrzrzrzrzrzr - illogical
4 - storn420 - not enough to read really, just about everyone is acting the same way he is
5 - Tokzic ayy - i always beef with inactivity
6 - Plopadop - could get my vote, plop seems to have put his nose in just enough to be in the big picture but not actually stir the pot at all
7 - just a box that is round - same as plop, not my best town lean for now lol
8 - Clownpiece heidy - def trying harder than last time, maybe cuz Zenith isn't in the way, maybe because he needs to push an actual lynch
9 - XelNya the gif lord - beef with RB? never got any reading on xel's meta last game, so currently comparing here
10 - thesunfan of flags - charu? seems slightly out of character to humor 18 pages of bs lol, but idk sunfan well enough to say that
11 - THE Charu - sunfan? unless someone sheds osme light on his charuposting i think it will be really difficult to get a reading on him, though I'd tend to say this is standard. still digging through the plethora of posts so far lol
12 - Mashiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii<3 - null like tokzic
13 - 27ninjabunnies the lone bunny - seems to have a good handle here, one of my more towny leads but also she gives off the vibe she's good at pulling the wool over eyes.

my biggest focus' for now in no order are sunfan, charu, and bunny

If roundbox is in the same boat as Chariplop, why did you add "not my best town lean" to the read?

In what way has Clownpiece been trying harder to you?

that's not a good reason for anyone to agree with me, but I can't really articulate why I'm getting those vibes from him

There are 10 Humans this game out of 13 Players, so the chances of him being Human from random chance alone is already approximately 76.9%! I am curious to know about why you're reading storn as Human though, if you can elaborate.

darn this was the crux of my reasoning for believing he was human lol


okay i think ill take a shower now or something idk ill read the rest a bit later
