Okaay I'm back though idk if I will be around for EoD (that being 4 am and all).
I'm switching my Hermit read back from neutral to town lean. Makes me a bit more positive on Nictis and 99Lies also (also helps that Nictis is posting now).
Very helpful because I completely missed this and it's quite important. However, I actually think this is a town anti-town post. It doesn't exactly outweigh everything else, but the better 99Lies looks the worse Zaealix looks imo so my vote on them might become serious by the end of this post? We will see.
Okay, still having trouble squaring "least bad option available" with "bait." It's feeling like your motives for this hypothetical push are in a weird superposition where it's simultaneously a gambit and kinda sincere.
I think that's fair? And if you find that sus that's also fair. I'd ascribe it to me not feeling capable of doing like an actual gambit/fake push but also wanting to um do one anyway? It's been a long time since I played but I remembered a lack of actual making things happen being something I wanted to get better at (I can like poke and give reads but I have issues doing things with them).
Yes, this is what I am commenting on. I am very devoted to not doing the brain thing anymore.
What does this mean?
I'm probably coming off as 'weird' because nothing strong to form a case on is jumping out at me and Absun's earlier bop is telling me to double-down on making sure I know what I'm talking about.
That and I think I tend to add more odd florishes when I'm unsure, versus when I'm focused on someone.
Absun's earlier reluctance to go into detail about that twigs things a bit-
Like the bad post+vote DOES feel like a good cuff to get someone who's being weird to stop but uhh.
Just saying bad post feels unhelpful to town.
I can sort out and slap a narrative of my own but that's not the same as Absun explaining WHY my post is bad, yanno?
…Doesn't help he's sat his vote on my head instead of using the pressure to try and get people to make claims.
Eeeeh. Like, fair enough on both counts, but also this applies to so many people (including you). Plus I did (briefly) explain when someone (not you, why?) asked. Passable post I guess?
Eh, why not. 5 theories for 99Lies. First three are for the role he was hinting at. Next two are for the problems.
1: Mayor. This has been shot in the water due to him talking about charges. Also means no get out of jail free card.
2: Vigilante. This is less likely given that he is suggesting he is a Cop/Vig like Landmine was. Also, if he was cop/vig then pulling as much attention to his role as he did was a very bad play.
3: Veteran. Obviously not what he is hinting at now, but was one possibility for why he was doing it. With how he's been acting it was more likely to pull protectives and investigatives than scum.
4: Non-Town 3P. Likely Jester in this case, don't care for the consequences if he is, kick him out.
5: Scum. If he is scum then he is just repeating previous scummy behavior so that it's excused as just being something he does, despite that really not being the case. It was out of character last game, and him repeating it is not his style as Town.
It is pretty obvious that the repeat was intentional.
Now as for why I hate it. I hate the slow leaking of role info to pull attention. It's not a claim, despite him being voted out, and the hints are too big for people not to figure a good idea of what he is.
Honestly extremely confused. I disagree very much a lot on what role 99Lies is hinting at to the point that if you weren't, you know, trying to vote them out, I'd think you were intentionally trying to obfuscate.
Not helped that Absun's case is thin
Err, my case on you or your case on me? It's not clear to me.
Don't Want D1'd Ever
Clown Bean
Absum
Nictis
Young Pyromancer
Nanimani
Middling (Prefer not D1'ing but not quite as much certainty as the category above)
Cyricubed
Logos
Ori
Wiadi
Why is Nani in the no D1 ever category compared to Cyri/Ori/Wiadi?
Finally, my vote on Zaealix should now be considered a serious vote. I should have one of those at EoD and atm I prefer Zaealix to 99Lies. I will be attempting some re-recalibrating though. Because (without checking anything) I actually think I feel worst about Bean right now. But then Bean scum doing this makes no sense in a 99Lies Town world imo, so I would need 99Lies scum. But then while that's not impossible I'm increasingly doubting it and would think Zaealix scum more likely then 99Lies. But if Zaealix is scum and 99Lies isn't then Bean scum makes no sense. I guess all 3 of them could be but that feels cospiracy theory tier bad. So uh yeah, vote on Zaealix for now. Also crying because of the seeming 99Lies/YP/Zaealix endgame, actually awful but I'm partially to blame for it so fuck me I guess.
I'll read hugh first because apparently there's a push on them now?
