NOC JOAT 10 Game Thread [Completed, GG Mafia]

This is Town Neon

pulsar is also giving Town Neon vibes, which makes me think that they are town too
How is this Town Neon? I happen to agree btw but I would like to hear your reasoning.

Pulsar is giving Town Neon vibes or just Town vibes? Not sure what you mean by that.

Either way can I get like an actual reasoning with quotes or something? This is all very vague.
 
inclined to think it's AG + one of [pulsar neon skipper zippy] atm, dont have the brainpower to work out which of those 4 im more sold on. probably skipper or neon
 
ok woke up, posting time.

i think skipper is lean town and aura and maybe jalmont are mafia that are just using him as a relatively easy scapegoat. remember celever was hella sus of ag near the last day's end. zippy is still creeping up. i think any of AG, JALMONT, and Zippy are reasonable choices here, but I'm gonna go with a couple other people and vote Aura Guardian
ok skipper was grey area for me but I felt like they were nigh-universally tred. This reminds me AG had them as scumlean so move skipper to a "possible backup wagon if not AG / Jal / Zippy" tier by himself
this is the most interesting post to me, ties in well with skipper's conclusions atm
 
somehow i believe skipper. LS is just like hanging out, her activity has dropped off a lot from d1 but maybe she just hasn't been available. i would want to wait longer on her
 
ah that explains it has bossaru given u trouble today

not yet but he also hasn't posted contacted yet so i guess he hasn't contacted

This post is mostly me going over everything again, knowing my biggest reads are now all dead.

Day 1 overview by page, filtering out jokes and not-serious votes when I can.
Page 1: RVS / LHF
Page 2: Neon says Ehmcee and Haruno are sorta-clear, but gambler's fallacy logic. I go after Haruno for present-but-inactive.
Page 3: memeing. Also pulsar is new
Page 4: I suggest hypoclaiming future inspects. From memory, this is not agreed upon by many, and mostly not done. Zippy tries to paint a target on his own back, claiming he'd go after someone he didn't play with and with a low post count. I disagree with the postcount thing, and zippy gets a little defensive.
Page 5: Celever discusses my hypoclaim idea some. Poetry by others moving anything coming of it to another page.
Page 6: Ehmcee doesn't get the hypoclaim AFTER inspecting standard strat. LS argues with Zippy.
Page 7: Zippy doubles down on going after inactives despite the warnings that it's not a sound strategy. Celever offers a deeper explanation of the game theory on who to vote.
Page 8: Zippy triples down... gets a bit defensive. I remark on hero plays not working, referencing the painting a target from page 4.
Page 9: Zippy goes after Haruno, I follow. My list of 4 categories players fall in. Celever defends Zippy's heroing.
Page 10: Stuff about the guy who ghosted us, and about Psy's absence being why there's 10 pages, not 100.
Page 11: Neon doing his chart that records reads thing. Skipper townreads Celever and null reads Zippy. Celever sort-of agrees with the logic, and then Zippy scumreads Celever.
Page 12: Zippy elaborates on scumreading Celever. Banter. Celever asks Zippy thoughts on Ehmcee. I KNEW that somewhere, Celever asked me about my hypoclaim impending inspects thing, and here's where I notice it! I explain.
Page 13: More elaboration on the hypoclaim future thing. Celever asks if anyone wants to read Ehmcee.
Page 14: Neon gets a bit angry at pulsar. Feels like a joke, but it involved a vote, so I'm bringing it up. Celever gets where my hypofuture thing is coming from, and politely disagrees. At time of review, I think this is where the topic mostly drops? Huh, I've seen a few posts from pulsar by now, but contributing less than Haruno... part of why I went after Haruno. Zippy arguing with people, seeming to miss some stuff.
Page 15: Huge "who to towncore with" post by Celever. In retrospect, I think this might have been a slip that he's JOAT, but I didn't catch it until re-reading. I was trying to NOT guess so I couldn't slip it to the mafia. LS reads no less than 6 people as potential towncore, 2 each under 3 options. Pulsar, Neon, Celever, me (AG), zippy, haruno. Skipper anti-cores me and Zippy.
Page 16: Celever asks for elaboration on Skipper's hypotowncore. Also LS's. Ehmcee indicates towncore with LS and Celever, and sorta scum-reads Zippy.
Page 17: Looks like Neon doesn't count a number of the reads already made. List is 6 entries long, and he remarks on it. Skipper explains his reads. Celever remarks on how I seem different this game. I'm marking as green there, because of my being mafia a lot, so different is good. Pulsar says Celever and LS would be his core.
Page 18: Zippy remarks on LS's comment re: Haruno's activity, and Celever's read-ish on me. Haruno speaks well of 2 non-players as well as Ehmcee and Zippy.
Page 19: JALMONT subs in. Banter.
Page 20: Banter. Neon votes Zippy. Celever makes a huge case against Ehmcee.
Page 21: Neon votes Ehmcee. Celever hounds people for opinions on his case against Ehmcee. Pulsar votes Ehmcee. Zippy seems a bit against the new Ehmcee wagon? I indicate I could follow the wagon on Ehmcee, but want a votecount first.
Page 22: Celever notes some contingent meta reads on active players. JALMONT votes Haruno. I give a huge reads list, too much to recount all in this summary, have a link to the post. From my vote list at the time, skipper is next. JALMONT townreads Zippy and Celever. Celever remarks on my opinions on both idlers and on Haruno. Going from memory and not looking forward, this is part of my 4 categories thing on page 9. Celever asks for skipper reads.
Page 23: skipper joins the wagon on Ehmcee. Huge reads list, have another link.
Page 24: Ehmcee's response to Celever's case. Ah, here's where I refer back to page 9 (per the summary of page 22). My reasoning for my reads list was based on active solving, and the activity thing was just a correlation. I'm down for voting either Ehmcee or Haruno. Ehmcee votes Haruno. Celever asks for responses to Ehmcee's response. Pulsar's fine with both Zippy and Haruno, but NOT with Ehmcee.
Page 25: Pulsar thinks Zippy has been creeping up as mafia candidate. LS is against both wagons on Ehmcee and Haruno. Prefers one as a better shot. I'm against skipper, pulsar, and Ehmcee. In that order. Celever unvotes Ehmcee, to Zippy's confusion. Given the vig kill, I think I can guess why, now.
Page 26: Neon and JALMONT vote each other.
Page 27: Zippy votes JALMONT. I switch from Haruno to Ehmcee. Brief but complete reads list from Celever, who then remarks on how Haruno's posting didn't improve like I thought.
Page 28: Ehmcee votes me. Just noting, he died to the JOAT. Not sure what to make of Celever's chart of interactions because I have no idea what criteria were used to make it. I admit my error re: Haruno. Neon votes Zippy. LS votes Ehmcee. Ehmcee townreads Zippy, Neon, Celever. Pulsar is against Ehmcee, Jalmont, and LS.
Page 29: A No Vote wagon starts. Banter.
Page 30: A whole page of banter, mostly.
Page 31: LS miscalculates evens as LYLO/CYLO, when it's actually just MYLO. Celever brings up vig shot. DANGIT CELEVER! In Matrices, you were only discernable as a power role when you outed yourself to clear our vote target. Seriously, looking back, I feel like your death was Death Note NOC all over again!
Page 32: Celever and Zippy vote Ehmcee. Celever and LS then unvote because vote-1.
Page 33: Getting close to EoD madness. Celever votes me; Jalmont votes skipper. Zippy's list, in descending goodness. LS switches to Haruno.
Page 34: JALMONT and Zippy vote me, then Zippy. Original vote on me was for my suggestion of a no vote, which was later explained as worsening mafia odds of hitting JOAT or someone getting greenchecked.
Page 35: Pulsar votes Zippy, then Ehmcee. Votes on Skipper and Zippy, though those are later removed.
Page 36: Forgot this wasn't just wrap-up. EoD vote chaos between Haruno and Ehmcee.

Things to note:
1) I will never learn that this is a time sink that doesn't do as much as it costs in time.
2) of the remaining players, skipper and Zippy seem to look the most odd to me, from this. Some of this is gut, some of it is early-game behavior... I guess they're rubbing me the wrong way?
3) LS seems a bit indecisive, but trying. Neon seems to be being Neon.
4) JALMONT seems to have lower posts, but dense contribution.
5) Pulsar has low contribution.
6) It was a TvT wagon, so a bunch of "voted town" stuff should probably be discarded.

My reads:
me-tier: me (AG)
Town: JALMONT, LS, Neon
final vote: Pulsar. If not Zippy, then probably him.
scummy: skipper, Zippy.

vote ZippyDoo200

Most information, least odds of town IMO. Can be persuaded to go for skipper first.
This was fun to read.

I would send a video of me just quickly scrolling through both things but I don't know if that's legal and also this forum doesn't support videos.
What is this supposed to show?

Yes I agree you have the same tone, are talking about nonsense and such, but how are you ACTUALLY playing similar to how you would as town. As in, how is your opening Day 1 same/similar to previous town games? How is your voting strategy same/similar to previous town games?

And fundamentally, if you were mafia this game, how would you have moved differently?
