Palsonny flipped Town. Unfortunate, but I stand by what I said about townreading Carroty based on DADV. I started Palsonny’s wagon thinking “oh, yeah. there was that one person whom others had scumread” and just hoped their hunches were correct.
I didn’t have any personal reason to scumread Palsonny, so I would’ve hopped off Palsonny had she not scumread me. My gut told me she would’ve tunnelled me for the rest of the game if I let her live, so I didn’t. It is regrettable that she flipped Town, but I don’t exactly regret my decision of eliminating someone who might’ve tunnelled me for the rest of the game.
Something that caught my eye as I was skimming EOD1 is… zoe. More specifically, what she said about her own wagon. The CFD was rather very sudden, and I don’t understand the motive behind it either if it was scum-motivated.
Motives for zoe wagon.
Mistyx started the wagon because she scumread zoe’s behavior (P#1476), Jarek sheeped Mistyx’s logic (P#1477), Litten tested reactions (P#1478) before switching back to Palsonny in the end (P#1537), Palsonny self-pressed (P#1491) and apparently scumread zoe somewhen due to lack of content -cough, questionable reasoning, cough- (P#1184), snickerz had zoe in her POE because of zoe’s focus on mech (P#291, P#1504, P#1518), and Wazza… IDK why she voted zoe.
I don’t know what to do with this wagon. Had Palsonny flipped Mafia, then these folks would’ve been suspicious for attempting to divert the main wagon. But since that didn’t happen, where does that lead us now? Is this wagon pure? If it isn’t, then what would it imply? Did Mafia [have thread control and didn’t care who dies between Palsonny and zoe], or -if zoe is Mafia- did they push harder for Palsonny’s wagon?
Speaking of thread control, who was it again that has thread control?
Eh… I might be going nowhere with the thread control thing. I am progressively realizing as I write this sentence that thread control became non-existent at EOD because of the zoe CFD. It’s less a matter of thread control and more a matter of presence. (I.e., “who were present at EOD?”)
...meh, I might as well review the five mentioned by Litten while I'm at it.
- Litten was flip-flopping between Palsonny and zoe, presumably as means of RT.
- Mistyx felt DADV and switched to multiple players before settling on zoe.
- Leafia switched to Palsonny to save Carroty, but didn’t say anything about the zoe CFD.
- Hazard wasn’t present at EOD1, so I don’t care about him.
- Chomps noticed the resistance against Palsonny’s wagon, which I think is towny, because considering Palsonny’s flip, I don’t understand why w!Chomps would press so hard for a mis-execution. (Well. Unless zoe is Mafia and he was trying his darnest to save her.)
. . .
So basically what I get from this is that Chomps is most likely Town, and nothing else. There could be any number of wolves within [Litten, Mistyx, and Leafia] because their thought process -while logical- do not necessarily have to come from Town.
