you're very touchy this game, the only thing similar about your playstyle to your other games is your aggression focused on a single player, everything else feels very different. inconsistency, aggression being forced, nitpicking. The reason I'm comparing to other games is they've all played out in a similar fashion and you've always been town (the exception is the game where you pulled the "I'm a wolf" shit) so this one stands out

alright so one of my wolf suspects does not comment on my other two wolf suspects

I know it's early to start looking at wolf teams, and this is highly conditional on flips, but if I had to guess, I think Xel/YoshL/(maybe YMIA) is my current guess

I need to see if YoshL has made any mention to these characters early on, because he sure has acknowledged everyone else

at any rate, I think that the Xel meta is largely correct --- with town Xel, there is content interspersed with shitposts and his wolfiness depends on how long he maintains that style

As others pointed out, he's beginning to fail at that
Last game I was able to give him a town read for this meta, and I'm not getting that impression this time around, so I think he would be the safest candidate for a D0 lynch

YMIA I didn't consider until V told me to look back at his posts, and that led me to some conclusions that I feel are solid

In addition to everything else stated about YoshL, it was weird how he backed off of me just by me saying "I'm not the SK", which indicates that either he believes me, or that he was looking for a reason to lay off me so he could get off the sinking ship

I'm not sure he's a good lynch for today, but there are strange things about him

[DaBackpack]

Xel's low postcount is also to note -- but he's come in recently to refute one of Plop's points against him

during that time he could have tried defending himself or at least trying to make reasoning

[DaBackpack]

I'm feeling AA town, V probably town due to one of his earlier appeals (I'll have to find it), choof is most likely town

[YoshL]

or i'm busy playing fibbage

Also trying to make distinctions between "agressive" and "vitriolic" is the pinnacle of absolute bullshit only you can tell the difference between. Come on bro, let's be real that's personal vocab wankery.

I still think people should iso YMIA and read it. Have you?

this post tells me that V is encouraging what he considers "proper" reasoning, which suggests a constructive mindset from him

he wants people who he considers town to make good reasoning, which fosters in an environment conducive for streams of positive information

am I being pingvoted or legit voted to be lynched

[choof]

oh looks like I'm not going to the rally
phew
will catch up and then I'm winding down for the night, got a long day tomorrow

[DaBackpack]

not to lecture, but V's reasoning seems to be goal-centric, which is great for motivated wolves but I don't think it's a good lens by which to view characters like Xelnyar, whose external characteristics betray their lack of motivation

from a adversarial game theoretical standpoint, you assume that players take options which maximize their utility, and in this scenario, we assume that those options reveal their goals

but if a character makes suboptimal decisions because they aren't fully engaged, the goal-oriented mindset will fail

scummier when "hey I g2g to a concert now"

[choof]

so I'm starting from AA's post with the numbers and no quotes, the first post he references was the first large post I made, which brought me back to this yoshl quote

"oh hey the past bajillion C9++s have had serial killers, there must not be one right now" don't think like this pls

I'll ask this as explicitly as I can: why are you so obsessed with dbp being a sk

I want to place pressure on rzr right now. I reread some of his posts and reread my read on him and something didn't add up. A synopsis of this new read is his defensive tone when he had earlier pressure into leaving (unless I missed his post saying he wouldn't be around today) abruptly. It seems uncharacteristic of him unless warranted is what I'm getting at.
