[Haze with a Z]

I read everything on the bot because stupid wifi and I was lazy to turn on vpn and this is blocked on wifi but not the bot.

You appear to be very fixated on people's perceptions of you.

I think this leads credence to Sweet playing a nervous game. I don't like that they tried to say they play nervous as either alignment and that would Sweet would act a certain way, when this is only their second game? I just don't understand how you can harp on your 'newness' but then try to make claims such as these.

In his last game, as town, Sweet said something to the effect that he is nervous about how other players will view him (I forget if he said that he modulated his posts as a result). So I don't think this is scum-indicative.

President Eden's mischaracterisation of Brainbomb "shitting on" other people is quite odd.

He seems off this game.

I'm going to call this post wolfy because you already tried to explain how you saying 'someone is off' was meant as a joke, but now I feel like you're purposely trying to make sure everyone thinks you were joking. I'm not sure what your motivation with these type of posts are.

At this point, I read any "so-and-so feels off" as a joke post. It was A Thing a couple games ago (last game?).

fox dismisses back to back scumreads by xcution on sweet and on Jamie. this sort of lends itself to scumteam taking opposite stances on town players to look like different perspectives. fox trying to buddy or white knight xcutions scumreads.

In his last game, as town, Sweet said something to the effect that he is nervous about how other players will view him (I forget if he said that he modulated his posts as a result). So I don't think this is scum-indicative.

I mean, sure, but he also said he's nervous as either alignment (though he's only played one prior game?), so while I guess it would be NAI behavior, I do think the way he's been responding to me hasn't been in good faith and he hasn't really answered the questions I'm throwing at him. Instead, he's jumped into voting me for ??? reasons. This doesn't really tell me he's nervous because he's worried how people will view him, it feels more nervous that someone is poking at him when he doesn't want to be poked, so he's trying to throw the first punch.

If you're bored and feel like you don't have enough pages to read here, you could go reread D1 of game 79 and see how conf-town Sweet there compares to here.

Fox is sort of guiding xcution out of tunnelling

[brainbomb]

I see from the fox and xcution interactions two schools of thought.

either fox wants xcution to stop bussing Jamie and Sweet (less likely)

or

Fox wants dousing to keep those players alive and sees those players as slots they can buddy/manipulate so he wants xcution to focus elsewhere

Sorry not dousing, xcution.

[BunnyGo]

@brain: would Fox be more likely to guide X out of tunneling a town or over-bussing a teammate?

Cross-post, sorry

Third option? Fox trusts X and decides to distance as teammate by arguing? It only played out this way since we got them so fast.

Not sure what this says about sweet/jamie

[brainbomb]

I think Fox would have certain town players set aside that he wants alive for the long haul. This seems to fit more with that concept than that xcution was just hard bussing every teammate he has.

How come I'm on your do not kill list? Also, I have opposite vibes right now on Jamie and Damo. I still think there is something disingenuous about the way Jaime is posting. I thought that Damo's catchup had some decent takes and I didn't think he was just posting to feel like he needed to catch up with things and appear active. What are you seeing that I'm not?

Here is a bit of a meta thing. When Jsmiet is annoying and a bit obnoxious he is usually town and he have been doing this on this game. And Damo is more or less the same, when he is aggressive or make weird assumptions he is usually town and when he just try to blend he is scum.

You think Damo is trying to blend in so far? How would wolf Jamie act then?

*Disclaimer I do take meta with a grain of salt but am willing to listen to how players think others play like

Now we throw rivera into this also.
Xcution wants rivera to articulate how wolf Jamie plays

Yep, meta can be faked. Damo have fooled me badly some games ago so take it with many grains of salt. I tend to focus more on intentions and motivations then meta, but on D1 we don't have much to consider.

Scum Jamiet is less abrasive in general and tend to tunnel a bit. I am not sure Damo is trying to blend or just being honest, but something pinged me on his posts.

And yea foxcastle is doing a really good job of powerwolfing. And nobody seems to be calling it out. But his posts are exclusively from a scum mindset.

I can't read Fox and promised I won't vote him D1 again after miskilling him D1 last game.

I think Jamiet have a good point about Bunny ignoring completely the exchange between Eden and Brain on his vote possibilities. His answer is also poor so I am moving Bunny out of my not vote list.

I don't like Bona wagon, it's lazy just not sure if it's scum motivated or not.

Right now I will go with my original gut feeling and ##vote sweetandcool

Nuanced position here.

Fox is advising xcution not to push rivera, xcution is asking rivera for what Jamie scumtells are, rivera responds by articulating a reason why Jamie is making good points.

This also makes me think scum likes Jamie pushing Bunny

and Rivera does seem like he is working with teammate xcution on pushing sweet.

[rdrivera2005]

I feel like I read correctly that he chose a D1 tunnel because he thought it would look town. And I was the glorious winner of the crazy tunnel. Reminds me of last game, in a way.

Glorious winner in the sense that I won the random lottery of being chosen for the tunnel. Didn't mean to sound triumphant, but it is nice to see them flip Mafia. I don't think I'm very good at this game.

Part of me wonders if anyone here is actually good at the game.


Like there’s a slight chance that 80% of our analysis’s are essentially pseudoscience and we’re just using confirmation bias to enjoy a glorified gambling addiction.

Now you are becomiing better at this game. We are wrong on our analysis almost 100% of the time but we still pretend we are doing a great work.

[brainbomb]

So rivera aligns himself with Fox on that Jamie is town, and they both seem to like Jamie pushing bunny.

So rivera seems to be guiding wolf partner xcution on sweet and cool, implying, yea this target is okay even if fox discouraged it

[Jamiet99uk]

Is this a scumclaim?

Is this a serious question?

Jamie why did you ignore this?
there was no reply to this question and no follow up by xcution either.

Because I was joking, because his "scum claim" was fairly obviously also a joke (even though ironically it would prove to be true).

[Jamiet99uk]

I haven't talked about it until now but I was roleblocked during Game Start, and again halfway through D2.

How does one get roleblocked halfway through D2?

One does not.

I was being facetious.

[BunnyGo]

Just a comment to myself I am currently on page 20 and have liked Haze and Brain so far. Sweet made me raise an eyebrow can't explain exactly why. The others are just null.
I won't vote Fox today no matter what.

@brain: do you think wolf!rdr posts this as his opening post (ignoring his anchor post)

[brainbomb]

So now either

1 Rivera is just accidentally sitting between two mafia, taking stances that the scumteam are working on.

Or

2 Rivera is scum, providing direction to xcution and sweet and cool is just a town member in their crosshairs.

3 Or xcution was bussing sweetandcool, and town Rivera found common reasons to scumread sweet.

I think its 2

[damo666]

@Jamie what's your pisstake RB post about?

I think so. because his stated reason is that he miskilled fox in a previous game. very easy excuse to use on a scum partner

[Jamiet99uk]

sorry for the wall but I am just noting that xcution and Jamie do have a ton of interaction and its mostly xcution trying to find a number of ways to convice people that Jamie is scum

Thanks for putting in the work.

If this is Xcution's scum meta it's worth taking note of for future games.

[Jamiet99uk]

@Jamie what's your pisstake RB post about?

The answer's in the question.

[damo666]

@Jamie what's your pisstake RB post about?

Don't worry. Xpost
