I will vote however the cleared villagers want me to. I note that it looks like the ppeks aren't 100% clear, because there appear to be three of them when there should be only two. But I don't see any reason to deviate from any of the three.
There are 2 peeks from biggerboat's re-read; Kupra and dmk. Books is the uncountered Village Peacemaker

True. I had a vision of the game being a social thing among old-timers, with a minor side of werewolf. Didn't turn out that way, mostly because of my own life, and I got disengaged. And then I got silenced, but still felt disengaged.


I also got demoralized by the aa0 debacle, and my role in it. Starting the counterwagon didn't go well even though I think i was the right thing to do, and then switching off of it when I saw the claim, onto what I thought was a better choice, was really bad and I assume looked worse. I thought we'd be able to make that one roll even with ten minutes to go but it hadn't gotten enough traction, or so I thought.

The village captains' vote is riverfish.

I thought there was a coordi= wolf peek suggested too. I read the earl;y analyses and they looked compelling — same wording. But as I said, I see no reason to disagree about either villager.


And I books is uncountered, yes, so trusting that seems clear.

fwiw Nich's posts from yesterday seem like vintage village Nich to me, and I don't think he'd bother as a member of a wolf team that's cruising along so well, so I think it's clear he's village too.

I am going to be distracted for most of the next few hours, but I can vote at or near end of day, however the cleared villagers want me to.

Kukra has a pretty succinct case on him yesterday and I had a post on a few things wrt river very close to that in thread. On mobile or I’d link but just search kukra

I reread Felix who had convinced me he was w/w with Riverfish earlier. I no longer have him as a lock wolf. He is either a villager or a wolf who's playing a very good game and putting in a lot of work. Congratulations if you're a wolf, Felix!

Most of his posts are fine. His logic mostly makes sense and he's finding wolves and villagers. Though I cannot entirely shake the feeling that a lot of it is more about advertising that he's doing a lot of work, more than about affecting the course of the game.

Four reasons to keep him on the watchlist (especially if river flips wolf).

1. This post, already mentioned by jonnyd:

Likely v/v wagons means this is mostly on tone.

I like jonnyd's EOD posting, especially in light of likely v/v wagons. His position throughout the day was fairly consistent and logical, he saw aao as wolfy but not necessarily super wolfy, and was open to alternatives, as long as it didn't result in a worse shun. (For him that would have been Luckbox.)

Kukra and dmk just scream villa to me in general.

I see zero reason why wolf riverfish would make this post calling aao/dmk/Luckbox/traz wolves if any of them are villa, and we know aao and traz were villa. Like, assume they're all villa, by making this post he's inviting the attention of three of the most active players in thread plus traz. A lot of his posting falls into this category of "why would he be doing this as a wolf".

For Sun Tzu... tbh, I vaguely remember that I always think he's villagery. I'm keeping him on the list anyways.
This strikes me as something that would catch the attention of a wolf more than of a villager, and it's just a weird reason to clear riverfish.

2. This post:

I'm not happy with the result of the vote yesterday. I think I made the right decision though. I thought shortline was a wolf and I made it pretty clear that I intended to auto-vote him very early in the day yesterday. In retrospect JDalla kind of unintentionally leveled us, but at the time his logic seemed fine, and shortline's reaction was very convincingly non-villager. It's kind of hard to vote optimally when, of our two strongest villagers, one spends most of the day complaining that people would dare vote for him and the other spends most of the day surrendering for no apparent reason.
A bit weird to want credit for the coordi wagon at that point. Coordi hadnt yet flipped wolf, and, as Felix discussed in great details today, he ended up on shortline over coordi.

3. His huge umprompted apologetic post:
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...postcount=2820

4. I already mentioned this in previous posts: Felix made a big post this morning that had riverfish in his wolf list. I happened to go after riverfish shortly after, and he defended him. He posted a lot of content today but didnt really address riverfish at all, even though he was becoming a hotter and hotter topic and eventually books' vote.


So, in summary, Felix makes a lot of good villagery posts. He also has several moments that strongly ping my wolf radar. I'm not advocating voting him in the immediate future but please keep an eye on him.

Reread sixfour. Nothing struck me as particularly good or bad. His posts are fine, but he doesnt have that much of them and they're short. Not a lot to go on. A villager or a wolf could make them. Putting him in the "no clue" category with Crossnerd and Kruze, I guess.

lol crosswolf <3 can't even say a few words about your vote on me?


as far as my current participation,I basically gave my feel on the state of the game/where players stand in my eyes when I was posting last night, I don't really have any new thoughts at the moment to share, so I'm just keepin an eye on the thread, I'm around though but distracted working on some non game things at the moment.

found it, thanks. It's curious, as some of the same things that Kukra used to build his case, I used in my mind to give river a villa lean earlier, thinking he cant possibly be this wrong the entire game. What I missed and Kukra spotted, is that he was NOT wrong the entire game - the TMI part is really interesting when you see that it was not just once, but multiple times.

I could see river = wolf, but I am not very comfortable because I feel like I am just sheeping instead of making my own analysis. But kukra is clear, so at least I know I am not being manipulated, and if its wrong, its wrong, its wrong, what can you do. unless something happens, I will lock on river at :30 and go to bed, let's talk until then.

I missed that you find them. I'll leave for a bit, will come back later and try to give a final guess at the wolf team.

Right now I like dmk's list, and I'm even putting crossnerd before atak given her recent work:

order doesn't really matter, but i feel like we've got a fairly good consensus on the 1st 2 and i don't think i'm going to be able to make a good enough case on atak to lynch him over river/cross today

that said, if my thoughts are worth anything, i hope atak is the next to go after that

Trying to find the vig in these 3, I'd say it's river>atak>crossnerd. But it doesnt matter after today.

I am home. It turns out you can shorten a trip by averaging ninety miles an hour for long stretches.

I find the point about Aaron making that last second vote to be so funny because I have intentionally done that twice as a wolf and I was told how villagery it was. That being said I generally find Aaron villagery with the exception of that vote.

My theory is that Atak would post to support a wolf that is really trying to win and so would riverfish. I increasingly think they are all low volume posters. I do see value in having the roleblocker claim now before wolves can craft a believable counter.

Often when I talk a lot early game, people wanna kill me for some reason, think they just like typing my name or something, so being able to take a more observer approach for the first few days was nice and I hope to make up for it in the coming days.

I've been miskilled recently as a villa (mafia champs 7) when I tried to actively solve the game early, mostly my fault because I'm not that great at getting people to follow me/who I push and a lot of the time people end up turning on me and them I'm ded.

I felt it going in that direction day 1 and instead of trying to defend myself in the early game for making bad reads, I decided to have some fun and roleplay a bit and hope that people leave me alone until later when I have more info and can make more informed reads. It worked according to plan, and here I am half raptor, half KruZe, alive. rawwr
