so just giving a short spiel on my thoughts for now, because i want to play video games and go to sleep:
bradland - ehhh, he could be pocketing me, but i feel like wolf brad would be trying to play the part of an actual townie moreso than he is? i know this game was not really a mafia game, but i was able to catch him in uninformed spec chat in higurashi quickly because his opening felt super artificial. i haven’t really seen that from him this game - his approach to seth, him describing his playstyle to arctic, and him going to night “back off for today i need to get my groove going” all feel decently genuine to me
arctic - explained more in my response to squirrel, other than that i’m kinda punting the rest of my read on him here unless we’re both alive d3/d4
wazza - if the double voter claim is true then she’s very likely town as giving wolves additional voting power is a big lol in terms of game design. pretty sure osie wouldn’t approve giving a wolf a double vote
squirrel - actively inquistive and solving in his catchup walls i feel for the most part? like he actually went and responded to cape’s stuff in a way that i feel like he is at least interested in hearing cape’s viewpoint. “just tryna parse your reasoning here” and “out of curiosity, how many games have you played with catbae”, plus the fact that he was willing to look at cape’s stuff with mistyx, i think is a fine look for this slot
nightingale - probably subconsciously TRing her because she’s funny + she was kinda discredited to hell and back in railgun, but i’ve been fine with her pushing of lol
cape - his responses to my questions have been fine but i’m not really getting arctic’s impression that he’s the only slot in the game that is discovering things. still like not sure what overall impression he’s made of the game – like, he’s wolfreading night/gorta/squirrel but why exactly?
mistyx - was fine with her d1, hasn’t really done anything today outside of yelling at arctic and wolfreading night for pushing on lol?
catbae - i really need to do my due diligence on this slot because i feel like he hasn’t really been in the focus or has had a spotlight shone on him yet. he was wolfreading me early on but has dropped (?) it so far? it feels like from his posts he’s building up to a wolfread on brad but has stopped fully stating that fact. i feel like he’s playing the game in a very perpetual way
lol - the main issue i have with lol is the amount of townsplaining he’s doing - it feels intentionally played up with how many times he’s mentioned he’s town. other than that, i agree with arctic how he’s been quite different from railgun mafia as in that game he was aggressive and probing enough for the wolves to n1 him. other than that, being unable to really real-time with him yet is tough bc of his one-liner playstyle, hopefully i’m around tomorrow morning
kiiruma - i keep flip flopping on him. i thought it would be really weird for wolf kiiruma to NK seth as wolf kiiruma could just keep pushing/tunneling seth all game but he has been kind of a non-factor today and i don’t like how self-centered his reads have been.
gorta - i’ve tried to engage with him a fair bit today and i just feel like his reads are made-up. early in d1 he thought that kiiruma/isolde was exactly town/town or wolf/wolf and that dichotomy felt really inauthentic to me. gorta saying that lol reminds him of railgun but being unable to provide any quotes/evidence of that fact other than stonewalling me and referring to his gut/tone is sketchy to me. i feel like village gorta would be able to easily show me an example or a quote on why he thought that lol felt the same here but he hasn’t.
