Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
rereading ne:
D1 ne reads as super unpartnered to me in relation to the wagons tbh. What’s to cfd to pulsar (marlyne) doesn’t, wagons are vizh/skipper (neon) only cfds to aligning after not liking the claim, it’s super all over the place and I’m not getting partnered vibes
I randomly don’t like nes d2? The first 24 hrs felt so.. substanceless and then he votes dbd into bd into pulsar which is kind of giving tmi? 3432 is good tho I like that post
I think off an iso ne reads as mixed

It's not like I even lied, I said I knew where they went...nowhere...
come on. literally half the game is all like OH YEAH SORRY I'M NOT GOING TO SHARE MY ROLE. the objective here was pretty clear - make sure my targets were honest with their result!
idk how i can really respond to the d2 stuff being tmi, and it's super easy to make excuses in retrospect for why I voted them, so I'm not gonna bother. I feel like I had good reasons for not voting pulsar off the bat, wrt having flips + night info to analyze while pulsar remained with the same amt of info they did d1, though I don't remember the specifics of how my vote ended up going dbd->bd->pulsar
idk I guess it seems ike people are really serious about voting me off I mean at the very least you could let me hero shoot someone.
look I dunno what to say forget about whatever DBD did, I think it's pretty fair to say I've done a lot to try and progress the game, throw ideas out there and keep the game thread moving. if I was mafia I could easily shut my mouth and try to vote out skip or idk tunnel on CK I guess. let's be honest here the last two days were basically wasted and while I could give a pass for day 2, literally NO ONE even thought to c consider the alternative hmm well what if des is town, and tbqh it's put us in a poor position.
if our conclusion is, well we were wrong 2x but I'm sure the third time is the charm on the basis that I'm that confident in my d1 and d2 dbd reads then well idk what to say about that. in that case I sure hope Charlie is town
Jalmonts post made me think of this:
Isnt a jalmont vote kind of the same boat as a Charlie vote? As a mechanical option that prevents town autoloss upon another mislynch, bc unless marlyne is town and gets off a protect scum!jalmont + mafia kill two town and win. I’m not sure I articulated myself clearly but does what im saying make sense

kinda? but i think charlie has a lot of towny factors going for them that I think jalmont doesn't have
I am working on a charlie progression track so you can see what I mean, but again I want to reiterate that it feels jalmont went reads first why he has those reads second

Ohh i was meaning like
Charlie is voteblock
Jalmont is os vig
Mechanically both of them have the problem of, if we misvote town today and leave them alive, them getting their action off loses on the spot for town

I mean vote negator is way more likely to be on a mafia team compared to extra kill (or doublevoter/mayor)
really the more plausible line of thinking is that I'm just lying about my mega. of course why I would decide to do that now doesn't make much sense either so I guess then maybe if you think I'm an extra kill that procs when half of town dies then well idk what to say about that.
this is why I wanted people to claim mega conditions and actions, it's hard to put the full picture together otherwise

i am gonna quit this halfway after burning out but who shits a give!!!
idk how lechen gets good vibes from joking and then saying d1 is a rand but it's not totally unbelievable
in advance im gonna say this is not a comprehensive list of charlie's posts, just the ones where they express/elaborate on their own reads
also just gonna exclude nullreads because that to me basically means "I can see it both ways"
Did you think Sunny was town at this point? If so why? I'm confused by this flip from town to voting them off of what I think was supposedly one Tommy post?
I wouldn't scumread Sunny off of the groupings ftr unless they're incredibly convenient for mafia. Ruling yourself out of voting the supposedly inexperienced NOC players D1 when you're already floundering doesn't make a ton of sense unless a lot of them are your buddies. I'm not there with him being town but the logic's consistent.
Vote: DBD
I'd be lying if it I said it wasn't like 70% vibes but the quoted post is really fucking with me.
votes dbd off earlier bad vibes, and while im at it:
Newer Players (I would like to avoid voting these players D1 specifically, we are more likely to catch them off of mech, from interactions with flipped players, or just spewing)
- Vizh (he kinda fits in both this category and the one below) - des (to a limited extent, she has played lots of games recently but it is difficult for me to get a read on her. Although this could be a good choice since her reads were super on point last game)
- AligningStar (again, p new)
Experienced OC players (Players who likely can provide usable reads but have less NOC experience and so ymmv re: reads)
- Me (sunny)
- Mekkah - Blazade
- Vizh (see above)
Experienced NOC players (Players who have played multiple games as of late and I think have not bad reads. For D1 ONLY I think we should be voting within this pool)
- AG
- DBD - Lechen
- HyHy - Tommy
- BD - fairy
- CK
- skipper
- charlie
- pulsar
- NE
i mean in general idt it's really prone to being scum driven unless both masons were fake and planned it out beforehand. (someone really should look into that), since theres just such a large pool and the vote didn't even end up in it
I am not really sure what Skip's opinions are by this post aside from Vizh/Sunny and idk what he thinks is worse?
I do townlean Vizh ftr, their posts have felt like a genuine effort to advance gamestate without much to work with. They could've sat back a lot more by this point as maf.
bluedoom's entry feels a little bit lighter than I expected, but the criticism of skipper wall after is decent. I kind of expected your vote to land there though from your posting, bluedoom is there it didn't?
After coming back I found out I was basically caught up and the last page is like 50% me talking to myself WHOOPS
AG posting seems a bit more logical so I feel a liiittle better on him. Despite what I said like an hour ago the vibes from Lechen's last few posts feel pretty natural so I guess I'd lean town there. Same applies to Sunny and ig I would not call pulsar as frozen anymore even if she's not really producing content yet so she's a bit better.
DBD going completely silent blows (NAI, but blows). Voting Skip because their reaction to bluedoom's pressure felt over the top and I felt like their notes didn't really go anywhere without being prodded. bluedoom's Skip read's good but the vote sticking on Vizh without really engaging much with them when they're posting around the same time's a bit bleh.
not included was confusion over ag's read on sunny which i thought was null but this post treats as dislike
AG,Lechen,Sunny improve
pulsar looking less frozen is (biased rant deleted)
dbd stays negative
dislike of skip develops
bluedoom hedginess
I don't like Skip asking me questions and then not really doing anything with the answers.
Would appreciate votals. I don't really rate a Vizh vote, I feel like their efforts to try and drag us out of rvs early were genuine and I feel like they're getting a lot of flak for a reads post which was perfectly acceptable. I feel like he's just catching heat because he's more present than a lot of people so there's more opportunities to post something bad.
Skip dislike develops, creates. let's call it negative pressure, on Vizh
read back and it boiled down to aligning felt vizh's questions weren't going anywhere, and bluedoom agreed.
I'm skimming while I wait to fight BIG STALL but I liked CK's justification for their Vizh vote (not voting Vizh) and the progression off onto Skip was alright. Blazade's posts were pretty good too.
NE's entrance started okay but I have no idea why they're voting DBD/generally don't know who they think is maf by the end of it. NE can you expand on any of this?
Skip's posting vibes a little better than what they had earlier but I don't really have time to examine it atm.
Des' reads not changing at all is sliightly weird but only slightly, wouldn't vote her for it atm.
Momentum shifting away from Vizh is interesting bc I felt like nobody else townread him forever but idk what to make of it yet.
Not being able to see Tommy live reaction to Lechen kind of sucks because their reaction was a lot for very low pressure. I don't think it's s/s staged but I am kinda weirded out by not really following Tommy's process twice already.
NE saying they didn't vote Pulsar alone because they wanted a wagon/no vanity and then going to solo vote them is ehhhh even when they acknowledge it themselves.
Is Pulsar that unique in not saying much? It doesn't feel that way to me.
Also it kind of feels like Aligning got caught with their hands in the cookie jar on P30 when bluedoom said they couldn't remember anything they were doing.
I think I am probably voteswapping ftr but I don't know where I land yet and need to go eat and stuff. Skip has barely posted since I went to bed but they did seem mildly better and the wagons being this settled all day makes me kinda uneasy.
dislike me over me voting pulsar the bluedoom/aligning stuff... didn't happen? at least not where they quoted it and I'm really not in the mood to sift.
NE, Aligning and DBD. Skip is kind of waning bc I think their posts before I went to bed yesterday were more mixed and the gamestate kind of stinks. Softer reads on you and Des for smaller things but I am not interested in voting either of you today.
these are scumreads, 'you' is tommy.
Of these, I think the aligning one is weirdest even without taking the fact that they flipped town into account, it feels undeveloped since, well you can scroll up to see why I don't think it's developed enough! that's why I'm doing this!
My eyes glazed over their posts before but I didn't really clock them at all until bluedoom made a comment about them not doing anything and then they showed up like 30 mins later to disagree with one NE post and then vanished again. I read their ISO and most of their content posts are like this wrt they haven't really stepped up until prodded and they got away with it way harder than anyone else itg.
Debating between DBD and NE myself/not there yet (not optimistic about getting Aligning) but they have weak scumreads - they were on DBD which didn't really make sense from their posts to me, then moved to Pulsar which they also haven't gotten anything out of. It felt kind of like they just moved onto Pulsar because they were getting flak for DBD vote but that also didn't really feel good to me.
Actual thing I wanted to say about this: idt it really shows in an ISO but my big problem with Aligning as that they've only really appeared when pinged or when people mention them and have otherwise been very light on content all day w/o getting called out for most of it.
Clearest example is here Aligning makes a non-content post, bluedoom remembers they exist here and expresses interest in voting them, and Aligning comes back with a pop in like 10 minutes later with a very short exchange with NE that fizzles into nothing.
