It was a small lean, but his paranoia regarding Fluttershy was a villagery sentiment, I thought, and it was similar to how I felt (which I explained at the bottom of my entry post). I don't have a villager lean on him anymore, but that original lean was enough to justify ranking him ahead of VM in my lynch preference order, which is all I was saying.

As for others ignoring it, idk.
Jim you are too ****ing smart for my shenanigans.

--------------------------------

So I had these delusions of grandeur that I could pretend to out myself as wolf when I'm not actually a wolf, lay low for a while and gauge people's reactions, and then make a bunch of reads based off those reactions. I made a post that I thought would look like a PM that I intended to send to a wolf buddy, and figured people would instantly jump on me for it. I thought people would speculate on who that post was sent to, which player I was "bussing," etc.. etc...

I figured wolves would no idea how to react when I make that post since they know I'm not a wolf and would be awkward, while villagers would react with genuine surprise and curiosity. It didn't happen.

Look at this nifty code I'd made to clear myself in my previous post too...

Everyone should post as many reads as possible, even if you're not under pressure right now and you're a villager, the more reads we have the better off we'll be.

But the thing is there are so many utr players right now, it's too easy for wolves to hide.

I am wary of fake reads and any thought processes that don't seem genuine or sincere, and I think everyone else should watch for this too.
It did not work out at all like I'd planned, especially when the only response I got was basically "zomg nice one br0." I didn't calculate for the possibility that JH would stare deep into my soul and LOL.

Cliffs of my attempt at FPS:



Conclusions? Jim gets like 4.3 villager points and everyone who didn't respond gets like 0.412 wolf points. I was hoping I could make some really strong reads based on reactions but since I got basically no reaction I really can't do that.

Shanks, my friend, my concern is how did you notice that peek from WN? It's somewhat concealed on page 1 and was made over a day before you subbed in to this game. I just can't imagine you as a villager going back and checking titles of posts on page 1 of live players. Like what do you stand to gain from that if you're a villager, it's hard enough just to read through the ~350 posts you missed and get up to speed without checking titles for peeks.

Based on day 1, I thought vmf was a villa, but now he hasn't posted at all which makes me think he might be woof. AFAIK he suffers badly from "i'm a wolf, cbf" syndrome.
I'm still fully confused by FS.

What I said earler about Jim/WN, I take back. It was an honest mistake on my part and I shouldn't have brought that stuff up.
Do you really think Kruze is ever going to do anything that clears him? It's late in day 2 and he's still done nothing - I don't see that changing.

I have been caught out before for fakepeeking someone villa, then going back on it. I thought I saw WN do this (though he obv didn't), and called him out on it without thinking about how the forums worked.
Now I know how it works, I'll make sure to double check that stuff in the future, but sorry for not thinking it through this time
Can you explain to me when and how you noticed WN's fake fakepeek of Jim?

I actually tried to read the game this time around. I've missed parts of games before and just got swamped in stuff. At some stages I skimmed, at some stages I read slowly. when I was reading slowly, I saw WN's post (which was after Anarchists post). I've been taught by sillyman to check for this sort of stuff even as a villa because it can help you figure out who may be clear.

Idk if Kruze will ever clear himself, but we can easily get him later when he hasn't. It seems like a bit of a shot in the dark to lynch him right now.

I noticed the fakepeek when i was reading day 1. Besides, it turns out it wasnt even his fakepeek anyway.

Were you so snarky about my case in NBA? I don't think you were. Why suddenly get annoyed about a case on you?

If they try and fail to get you mislynched it looks pretty bad for them, but they can't afford to pass up a chance to get rid of you (as you've said in the past, you've never yet been mislynched).

I know I told you in that NBA game that I'd feel fairly comfortable defending villagers as a wolf, but that doesn't mean I'd defend ALL the villagers, and you're definitely one where it would be a terrible mistake to miss out on a potential mislynch.

If you believe I'm a villager and the wolves are likely to sit back and watch and see what happens, who do you think falls under that category? You should also have some form of read on those that defended me around the same time. Do you?

Of course you wouldnt defend ALL the villagers, but don't you agree this would be a pretty damn important one?

Your case on Palo involved pushing him for one thing he did (or more precisely in this case, didn't do) that wolves sometimes do while ignoring the fact that villagers don't always pay attention to everything and that Palo had been somewhat villagery otherwise.

Do you see how I MIGHT have seen some similarities here?
If you break it down that way, yes. I don't believe that's an accurate breakdown though:

1. Mine on you in NBA was an admitted tinfoil theory at the time, and was focused on "this is a potential thing he could do as a wolf, and I cant figure out how he'd have these reads as a villager, so he's prolly a wolf". Palo was because I thought HE WAS AVOIDING INTERACTING WITH ME. They are NOTHING alike.

2. Your generic break down of my Palo case as a "meh he didnt do something and he thought he was wolfy for it" is ridiculous. He was IN THE THREAD TWICE. And he avoided me. TWICE.

3) You're STILL failing to take into account that my play makes more sense when I'm a villager. I reviewed the lead wagons and expressed my opinions on them; I think you're a villager and that well named is a likely wolf (and well named being on you is consistent with both of these). How on earth does that necessitate this ridiculous scenario wherein I'm a wolf hard-defending a valuable mislynch and attacking another player who's trying to get you lynched?

You already stated you didn't expect wolves to be on me early because it'd look bad if they were wrong. Well named was on me first. Why was he still a wolf lean from that?

This is true regardless of your role

Sanga: I love the plan, and think it was executed well. We had talked about it though so I knew it was unlikely to happen etc. I still dont know what to make of nobody else commenting on it.

You asked to discuss Shanks: I think he sounds genuine in his "whoops my mistake" defense. It's a pretty easy mistake - I made it too. I don't think he should be lynched for it, especially since he's rather newish and should be easier to discern with more info later.


Now I ask you: Discuss Zsj.



I dont have many posts remaining.

Lol. Ironically that was one of the shortest posts I've had all game.

But on a serious note, when I'm clear that's when you know you can trust my reads because they're genuine. Just sayin'.

I remember this now. Makes sense.

I also agree that there are some similarities between Jim's case on you in NBA and Jim's case on Palo this game, I believe I voiced that sentiment earlier today.

Yeah he posted a couple times but he said he was busy and wouldn't really have time to participate and that's what happened. To me it didn't really look like he was consciously trying to avoid you, and now that we know he's a villager it's evident that was the case.

I still think zsj is probably a villager. I don't think it's very likely he was defending you (Jim) just so he could look good. Especially because it's far from certain you're getting lynched today, so even if you're a villager we might not know it for a while and therefore zsj can't really get credit for defending you for a while. I think it probably would've been wolfier for him to just ignore the case on you, and hope you get mislynched and that way, if you do, your mousey blood wouldn't be on his hands.

Hmmm I don't know who this sillyman guy is but I like that you're using specifics in this story. Another thing going in your favor is that n my experience (from batman) you don't really put up much of a fight when you think you've goofed and the pressure's on. Plus I think there are better lynches than you. So I still think this whole thing with you knowing about subtle fakepeeks from page 1 is a bit suspicious, but I think I'm fine with not lynching you today.

Someone doing a re-read and then posting all of it and then concluding they are a villager, and the person in question has gotten some heat and could be a d1 wagon. that's villager gold imo

- In retrospect jim's posts seem perfectly fine to me. He's probably a good enough wolf I shouldn't clear him for that but I don't like my Jim vote at this point, and the only reason I haven't changed it yet (well only 2 reasons) are that I haven't decided who to vote instead and it's at least somewhat interesting to see what people say about it. For example I am happy with fluttershy coming out against it and she seems pretty villagery to me

- Out of the UTRs, kruze's few posts seem the most stereotypically wolfy. Other people seem better. This post especially is bad (218)



- aksdal and 27allin have me somewhat confused but I could see wagoning either of them. In both cases I see a particularly wolfy thing (27allin's weirdness with sanga at the very beginning really is wolfy, I must concede it; aksdal's reaction to donk's vote seems really wolfy) but I also see villagery posts, at least tonewise. So I'm not sure what to think

- I've changed my mind about finding anarchist wolfy. It was probably hangover from skimming the turbo last night in which he was a wolf

- I think TL is a villager. Maybe for bad reasons since one of them is her calling me a villager :P But it doesn't make sense for wolf-TL to clear village-WN in the context of yesterday's game. Especially given the way I was playing. I mean why turn down the possibility of a WN lynch? Besides that, on re-read she has reads that agree with most of mine now, and I like that

- i'm still reading while I'm writing this post, ehre's another terrible kruze post:



claiming vanillager is bad. the lack of reads is bad. I think the first is most damning though. Lots of "bad" early game villagers who aren't posting much at least can make a fake peek. why wouldn't you even try? I find that wolfy. And then there's "I did give my reads, I said everyone is a ****in wolf to me right now." which is also horrible

I guess this is enough for one post

kruze seems like a really slam dunk lynch. Like before hitting some of these later posts I was thinking kruze was an OK lynch, but really just an UTR lynch. Seeing these couple posts though, I think it's much stronger than that
I think kruze is wolfy but he did leave a peek fwiw

27a I think you should make your own decisions on who to vote for. While it's nice to hold the orb of justice, I think it's better for the game if people make their own reads and vote for their own reasons. The village gets more information that way.

I'm personally not officially decided on who I'm voting for yet, but I've expressed my top candidates several times today.

Wow I just had crazy dejavu. Look at the highlighted. Do you remember d1 of Batman. You pushed shanks (you were a villager). I defended shanks (he and I were wolves). My main defense was basically "shanks is new so he's prone to making mistakes like these as a villager... also we should be able to read him better on future days since he's pretty obvious as a wolf." Is that not eerily similar to what you just said about Shanks? What are your thoughts on this (this question goes to anyone who was in that Batman game)?
