The beatings will continue until townplay improves: Part 3 - THE CRESSENING, Night 3 (6/11)

its not an impasse fmpov. you dont need to agree if you dont want to. im just sharing my thoughts and giving advice. it costs me nothing

I’m trying to tie this to Kyubey unless you are saying I am not experienced in the way you were defining it

oh okay

i dont know for how long you’ve been playing, but i dont think you have the experience of being a town leader like litten has. maybe you do on AoPs, but i havent seen it on FoL or MU. no town leader that i know of, or any site that i’ve played, was ever genuinely okay with dying as town

I wouldn’t say kyubey is a town leader this game though

he isn’t because he’s not town. litten in general has the leader playstyle archetype. and in this game he has been leading, has he not? who decided zone and pandora are getting executed? i would definitely say litten has been trying to lead, but my argument wasnt even tied to this specific game. in general, a player who has the “leader” archetype, if they suddenly start pretending “oh woe me, im ok with dying, pls kill me my friends” - in general that is a wolf tell for them, imo

like imagine achromatic self-voting and claiming “ok kill me now”. do you townread him (exaggeration, litten isn’t self-voting. im trying to illustrate a point)

See, there again I disagree, both in the concept of a leader being a fixed archetype as well as in kyubey necessarily leading zone/pandora wagons yes he led the final zone CFD, pandora was more of a collective thing in the end. I think it tends to be that town leaders tend to end up in situations that preclude being okay with dying, but this to me does not seem to be one of them.

Also nyaaaaa going way too off topic but how does somebody becone a town leader archetype in your opinion?

I’d need context.

be loud and assertive and get people to sheep you. quiet players can have incredibly accurate reads but they’re just not leaders, in the literal sense of the word, if they dont persuade people to follow them. some people are willing to follow everyone, including quiet players, but in general, being loud gives you a larger following. its like marketing. you’re selling a product

I’m a leader in the sense I can get people to follow me, I’m terrible at working with others and leading at the same time. You usually see me switch throughout games between working with others and leading

Kyubey (3): tutuu, Jaiden, Chomps
tutuu (3): Kyubey, Wazza, soweli

Not Voting (1): bystander

oh the account is called June because Ash is July and June is before July!!

sorry everybody i’m going to lock i

This argument doesn’t make sense, because tutuu is saying that mafia players have a natural inclination, or rather that they tend to make the choice, to kill people who are wolfreading them (because then there are fewer people in thread who wolfread them!), and thus it makes sense for the people who the nks wolfread to be mafia.

Wazza is denying that their play conforms to that pattern, and so it cannot be used as a heuristic on which to reliably wolfread wazza.

Maybe wazza is wolf and those nks aligned with other priorities, maybe wazza wanted to pull the WIFOM argument, the only real way to keep your previous stance here is to say that this game uniquely presents wazza with particular threats to the point that wazza needs to nk leafia & rue. and like. really? Say what you will about what the future might hold but at the time that Leafia & Rue died their wolfreads ended at “reminds me of more than a year old meta in ways I can’t explain (disputed by me & wazza)” and “I don’t townread wazza but do townread pandora so i will vote wazza”. Neither of those is particularly strong.

Not really sure how i can tie this into alignment at the moment (especially since this isn’t entirely out of my idea of bys townrange) but it seems obvious to me that conclusions are not the only or even most important thing in the game like even if kyubey is talking about accuracy.

What else is there with bystander

these posts look bad but also there’s little reason for w!bystander to make them when v!pandora dying at some point is practically a forgone conclusion save exactly being partnered with wazza

This readlist was cancelled but also having (2/3/4) (From bystander’s point of view/ from my point of view confirmed from my point of view) in the bottom half is a bad look. I’m using it because bystander doesn’t have other readlists. I suppose with that being said Rue being the NK doesn’t make sense but that’s just a NKA does things.

All in all… I can’t practically say I want to see more from bystander can I? I want to see fewer bad wolfreads on bystander & presumably this EoD as designed to put her in the ‘hot seat’ so to speak will reveal slightly more. I certainly see the tutuu/bystander world. Bystander’s later day play seems quite different from her earlier play though again it’s hard to pinpoint why without a good sense of her meta

The other thing that’s been eating away at me is that Chomps has barely been talking at all but especially as if I’m lockwolf from his perspective like I can technically see me being PoE’d by bystander here, other people’s reads on me often feel incredibly arbitrary but Chomps doesn’t seem to be playing with “soweli’s really wolfy” in mind.

wtf did you mean by this btw I don’t see it

>in my PoE
>looks inside
>soweli (& pandora)
There’s also such factors as: why doesn’t say, me/kyubey kill you here if you are onto litten (ok that one’s cheap i shouldn’t be using NKA)

also a huge black box not to mention a very bad look in w!tutuu worlds

Jaiden is reasonableposting which really shouldn’t be enough for a townread but in context I think it’s fine? It’s kind of difficult to lock that in especially if kyubey is a wolf
