If we were judging based on flavor, Annie would make no sense as a miller given how the manga goes (btw the manga is like 10000000x better than the anime). Since flavor isn't alignment indicative, Bert's probably town.*
I'm assuming F-16 has some sort of history with pie that would cause him to reach out there over me or muffin.
wtf is Mykonian's read list.
VOTE: Pie
I don't like the way you're pushing the Annie flavor based on the anime when the game's based on the manga, with Annie's alignment in the manga being incredibly clear. It's like you're simultaneously trying to write-off the flavor while using it to potentially position an attack later.
*subject to change based on how much he leverages the equity on his claim. Weak thing also needs to be explained.-

Go read Sabo mafia, where EtL smoked XScorp b/c of an assumption like this.In post 79, Kagami wrote:Because flavor isn't alignment indicative, it is very unlikely that scum were given a fake-claim. There's no way bert would know to claim weak unless he is town.
This is a terrible assumption to make.-

Yeah.In post 108, Kagami wrote:Ok, here's what weak means:
You do not have maneuver gear.
In the advertisement for the game, it specifically says that the HUMAN faction gets maneuver gear, so it makes no sense for the scum, who already lack the gear, to get the special prefix.
Scum were told this.
Otherwise this setup would be dumb.-

Well, I heard claiming miller right away was good. But, I can't remember who told me that way back when. Never actually drawn the role before until now.In post 115, Paschendale wrote:Isn't claiming right away considered optimal play for an actual miller?
I didn't mean to stir setup speculation and thought flavor and stuff was all just that - uncertain and flavorful, not necessarily alignment indicative - I was just claiming miller because I felt obligated to.
I'd don't think scum-you could pull this off.-

this reminds me of how you jumped on Varsoon in imperishable night early game with a sketchy reason and iirc completely ignored everything else
I haven't seen the anime or read the manga .-. so I didn't know any of this, nor was I paying attention to exactly what this game was based off of, nor did I know this bc no one brought up the manga. so you're kind of right in that I'm not really paying much attention to the flavor, but I'm using what I'm picking up of it to try to figure out stuff
what makes you think I'm familiar with the manga?

1) Have you read any of my games?In post 153, Plum wrote:Bro is being smart about this.
2) Sabo mafia was an easy scum win for me/EtL b/c town made a lot of faulty assumptions about the setup (and also because I got access to a weak-neighborize as scum, but I digress). I'm not going to get burned because a bunch of townies make that mistake.
Also Tammy needs to get her ass in here and obvtown up so she can lead. Towns without structure suck :/
pedit: Could have been scum feigning because they'd know that the people who knew about it would be weak townies+them. It'd be like how I spent the first 3 days of Xenoblade being like "I have no idea whether this is multi ball" because I knew that saying that I thought it was multi ball would raise alarms.-

1) My reason for jumping on you wasn't sketch. Yeah, early game isn't going to have to most evidence, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to sit around and wait for someone to stumble. I'm going to press something minor and get pressure moving.In post 165, pieguyn wrote:
wow nice discredit. still doesn't change the fact that you jumped on me early game for a sketchy reasonIn post 154, BROseidon wrote:1) You suck at reading me.
also I'm 1/1 on reading you, so this isn't even correct. the only completed game we have together is imperishable night and although you did fool me D1, I came around to it on D2. so that's a blatant fucking lie
this is a blatant strawman. it's not bc you made an early pressure move, it's bc the early pressure move you made was shit and it p much exactly matches up with how you played in imperishable night. your jump on Varsoon in that game was an early pressure move, but it was bad bc the reasoning for it was sketchy as fuck. what's different about this?In post 154, BROseidon wrote:2) I make early pressure moves regardless of alignment
I was sheeping what everyone was saying about the flavor bc if everyone agrees about it then it's probably true. I had no way of knowing whether said flavor was BS or not, and from what people are saying it doesn't appear to be BS in the first place.In post 154, BROseidon wrote:Were you just sheeping BS on your flavor comment, then?
why are you assuming I knew said flavor was BS when sheeping it? like you apparently think that I'm scum who was deliberately sheeping BS?
this is exactly why your push on me sucks. first, you said I was scum who was writing off flavor while positioning for a flavor based attack later, citing the differentiation between anime and manga to back it up. but in order for this to the case, I have to be familiar enough with the flavor to know the difference in annie's position between anime/manga, and know which one this game is based off of. this assumption comes straight out of thin air and I don't see at all how the fuck you felt comfortable making an assumption like that. not to mention someone said your idea that the game is based exclusively off the manga is incorrect to begin with. when I told you I don't know the flavor, you completely dodged me. instead you left your vote on me and continued the push, despite one of the underlying assumptions behind your push was demonstrated to be unequivocally incorrect (game being based on manga), which in this case fked up a lot of your reasoning. and now you accuse me of sheeping smth that's BS, which makes the assumption that I knew it was BS. which is the same thing. why would you make an assumption like that consideringI just said I don't know the flavor?
tl;dr: you assumed smth that is completely false and there was no reason for you to assume that. your reason for voting me is entirely fabricated and not coming from a legitimate thought process. your logic is contradictory as fuck and the way you're trying to completely dismiss me with these terribad illogical arguments is, guess what? scummy as fuck. die :>
vote: BRO
and one more thing. go back and look at all your illogic in NY167. you discredited, misrep'd, and strawmanned all over the place. this is the same shit. if I apparently "suck at reading you" as you say, then why are my arguments against you incorrect? you still haven't given an explanation why. good luck ~
2) You read me in the game where I was trying to get lynched on day 2, so grats on that
3) What's different about this is that my reasoning was fine. You awkwardly postured around Bert's claim. I attacked you for it.
4) BS = Brian Skies, obviously. You missed that part, which is super suspect, give that he's the one who said Annie's alignment in the show was ambiguous, which you then worked off of. The fact that you then didn't catch me referring back to that point indicates a lack of solid trajectory, aka scum trying to bullshit reasons without understanding what those reasons are
5) I didn't cite a difference b/w the manga and the anime, I assumed that the anime hasn't gotten as far as the manga, so that someone watching only the anime might not have known how that arc would have ended.
6) I didn't dodge that you didn't know the flavor; I tried to work out where you got that idea from, and tracked it back to BS (Brian Skies, so you can't misrep me again on this. You then COMPLETELY MISSED THAT.
You're now going to try to play off that you didn't realize BS=Brian Skies in my previous post, and that you forgot that he was the one (and only one before you) who first said that Annie's alignment in the series is ambiguous.
Holy shit you're worse than mastin was in Anything Goes with the mist.-

Probably because scum were hoping to obfuscate it to stall out for as long as possible, or to set up some sort of play.

This is super WIFOM and not a good assumption to make.In post 181, Kagami wrote:pasch, I'm quite sure I'm correct about everything I said regarding the weak modifier, the "danger" was that scum would know what it is (either through their fake-claim information or through special mod-granted setup knowledge as bro suggested) and would use that knowledge to snatch some town-cred. The fact that nobody jumped on being the third "claim" suggests to me that they weren't given explicit setup knowledge regarding the modifier, and if one of them has the modifier in their fake-claim, they didn't figure out what it meant (it's not obvious, as bert proved, and would be even less obvious to scum who wouldn't have it on their real PM despite lacking maneuver gear).
Scum claiming weak, given knowledge of what it was, would be a gambit similar PGO or miller claiming. I don't know most people's scum games who are here (I've only seen Bert/Muffin/Tammy as scum), but I don't get the impression that we have a lot of gambit-happy players.-

"oh look, pie's making an early push on me. I'll just completely brush it off, then respond with some aggression so that he backs off and goes to look elsewhere! I don't even have to address anything which will give him a foothold to make a better push on me, so that I get to avoid an early game push from him. and no one will notice how I'm not actually answering anything at all bc of all the towncred I get by pointing out the flaw in Kagami's plan." ok mb that was exaggerated a bit but you get the idea

Scum are probably trying to out-WIFOM various townies about when they'll burn their commutes. Having closer to guaranteed kills later in the game is probably something scum are going to want to hold on to.In post 203, Kagami wrote:1-shot commute isn't strong enough to make me think that scum would be all about eliminating players with it.

See my point about miller/PGO fake claims.In post 223, Kagami wrote:Because knowledge of what it meant from someone who hadn't claimed weak themselves implies the knowledge came from elsewhere (presumably fake-claims or other information that the mod might give to scum a la sabotage mafia). Scum who had actually gotten this knowledge would be very unlikely to let on, imo.
I'm town reading you/Bert right now because the play is more likely to come from town, but I'm not going to conftown you for it.-

There could be other weak townies who just didn't claim?In post 226, mykonian wrote:
Yup, you are right. There's where pitoli messes up. GoddamnitIn post 224, Kagami wrote:
I would like to think I'm clever enough to do so, but if that were the case, pitoli's post would be a fairly severe violation of neutrality. It would also be very odd that there would only be a single "weak" human that is confusingly attached to the miller status, yet with weak being in a fake-claim.In post 221, mykonian wrote:and if that isn't the case, it's kagami who was quick of mind. That'd be a nice gambit. Low risk high reward etc. Confirm "just" bert (soz, but you know what I mean) while setting up a fakeclaim straight away, and getting a ton of towncred if nobody is ticked off by you thinking about the setup so much.
it's not out of the question. I know if I was well awake and my fakeclaim was something "weak human" or it was talked about by the mod or anything, it only takes some steady nerves to abuse Bert coming in like he did. I don't know kagami's nerves (yet). I don't think bert would claim the way he did if he were scum.
Bert is town because
-he seems very genuinely confused about the weak thing
-his posts read like a bewildered townie
-I don't think scum would get a weak fake-claim with only one other weak player
-Since scum have been given fake-claims, why would they be given "Weak Human Miller" of all things?
so hi dear near confirmed town.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG
If I had a strong PR attached to being weak, I wouldn't claim it b/c I'd have assumed that scum were informed what it was. Claiming weak basically says "shoot me in the N3-5 range."-

I won Xenoblade b/c I buddied Nacho on his reads throughout the entire game, and then anticipated where he would go with reads so that I could explain things before he did.
If my assessment of Dan's play is right based on his first few posts, there are other things you can look for to get a solid read.-

Town on Mykonian, null-town on Dan. Dan read is one that I'll check a lot as the game progresses, though, as I'll need more of a corpus of his posts to get a strong read.
I like the pressure on F-16. I'm on Pie right now (which everyone else seems completely disinterested in; and nobody else pointed out his misinterpreting my post/other people agreed with it, which is something I should go back and look at again). Also, Tammy's not here, which is concerning b/c she likes town a lot more than scum. Someone should probably put some pressure there right off the bat so we can get a good read there.-

Eh, I don't think that positional play is intrinsically scummy. It's a different style of play.
The games I've had with roflcopter where we've been town/town have had us work really well together b/c I read him as town for how he moved. Also, I got to see some of his back end in Death's Diner b/c he posted it in the Cop-neighborhood QT, and his reasoning is very strong.-

But, the games I played with Dan last year, he was more thoughtful about his stances and play. You could see where he was coming from. His game lately has been kinda smug? in a sense and less transparent, which makes him harder to read.

Muffin: what you're seeing is why my mislynch rate is over 50% (I think; it might actually be a bit lower), but also why Death's Diner is the only game I've ever lost while not getting mislynched. I'm a fairly hyper-aggressive player, especially when I start getting a sense of the gamestate early.-

I assumed you knew the flavor, especially after you made a statement regarding the flavor.In post 324, pieguyn wrote:except it's not bc you made the assumption that I'm familiar enough with the flavor to do smth like that, when there's no basis for that assumption. I could see smth like "oh I would have expected everyone in this game to watch the anime", but yours was based off the fact that I KNEW the manga and p much everything about the flavor. let me break down your argument for you:
So what you're saying is that I'm attacking you for not knowing flavor, and not something that's alignment indicative.In post 324, pieguyn wrote:so what are you trying to imply by this statement?
"I don't like the way you're pushing the Annie flavor based on the anime when the game's based on the manga, with Annie's alignment in the manga being incredibly clear."
you're implying that I am scum who is deliberately pushing the annie flavor based off the anime when the game is based off the manga. however, in order to do this, I have to know the annie flavor in between the game and the manga in the first place. this is bc no one had been discussing the manga AT ALL
"It's like you're simultaneously trying to write-off the flavor while using it to potentially position an attack later."
again, suppose I was scum and I was doing this. then again I would have to know annie's alignment in the manga. there's also the idea that mb it's just me but in USA at least I get the feeling there's not very many people who even read manga, so I srsly don't get where this assumption comes from at all
there's also this one
"when the game's based on the manga"
which was demonstrated to be false, although idk if it was intentional. although I really don't care atm
When what I pointed out was that you were using it as a tool to POSTURE AROUND BERT. You're focusing in on my flavor accusation, and not the fact that you were posturing against Bert.
So why don't you address that point.
And plenty of people in the US read manga. I probably have a bias towards thinking more people do, given that I do and all my friends do.
Why should I assume that you didn't fake missing BS=Brian, trying to pass it off as bullshit?In post 324, pieguyn wrote:WOW MASSIVE DERP LOL. ok it makes more sense now
the last sentence is the most random ass assumption I've ever seen. the fact I didn't catch you referring back to that point indicates I'm not aware that BS = Brian. you're assuming that this comes from a scum motivation (BS reasons), rather than showing WHY it comes from a scum motivation as opposed to smth else (not realizing BS = brian). I can't really explain this any further beyond the fact I didn't know BS was referring to brian skies as opposed to bullshit. however, bc you didn't explain why, I get the feeling you knew I didn't have any explanation and were just trying to paint me as scummy
Especially given that after you admitted to sheeping on flavor, I traced that thought process back to Brian. Which would imply that you would remember that Brian had given it to you, which would in turn indicate that your trajectory is falling apart somewhere, given that you couldn't remember that your flavor trajectory started with BS.
You're a smart player. That's not a mistake I'd expect you to make.
Re the contradiction:
It's not a difference between the texts; it's an assumed level of progression (Annie appears to be a good guy, then it's ambiguous for a while, then it turns out she's pretty clearly evil). I assumed that the anime is somewhere in that middle phase, whereas the manga is obviously further along.
It's me pre-empting what your next step as scum would be, and me countering it before you make it.In post 324, pieguyn wrote:I find statements like this to be generally defensive bc by saying what I'm going to do next and painting it in a scummy light ("play off") you're trying to manipulate me into not responding or otherwise giving a response that isn't the natural continuation from your arguments. it also comes from a scum motivation in that you don't want me to give said natural response and thus continue the 1v1 further. so yes, you are trying to brush me off. it's the same deal as you completely dodging my arguments when I first pushed on you. no, I'm not going to let you cover it up
I did the same think to Katsuki/mastin in Anything Goes, but everyone was too busy throwing the game to listen to me on it.
Oh yes, I don't want a 1v1 with you SO BADLY that I'm intentionally antagonizing you and counter-walling your wall.In post 324, pieguyn wrote:fuck that. while I can see this very reasonably coming from a town POV, this also feels defensive. it also fits with all the other statements you've made from a scum POV in that you're trying to manipulate me into not continuing the 1v1 with you
Obviously.

Other than in the post that says "this game's flavor is based on the manga [and other things that I assumed were roughly the same]In post 331, pieguyn wrote:the point is if I was willfully and knowingly posturing around Bert they I would HAVE TO BE FAMILIAR ENOUGH WITH THE FLAVOR TO KNOW ANNIE'S MANGA ALIGNMENT, SINCE NO ONE HAD BROUGHT UP THE MANGA AT ALL. YOU WERE THE FIRST TO DO THAT. THERE WAS NO REFERENCE OF THE MANGA BEFORE YOU BROUGHT IT UP
So you just forgot where you got your idea of the flavor from? Like, it's fine if you don't call him BS, but to then NOT REMEMBER THAT BRIAN GAVE YOU THE IDEA OF FLAVOR, AND THAT I WAS CLEARLY REFERRING TO A SPECIFIC PERSON seems like a little much.In post 331, pieguyn wrote:I don't call Brian BS, I call him Brian. I get confused and I basically go "wait what" every time someone calls him BS . as I said, if you really are town, feel free to not believe it. but the way you're pushing on this makes me think you knew I wouldn't have a good answer for this question, and are trying to paint me as scummy
It comes from a scum POV given that your initial posturing comes from a scum POV (there's no reason for town to posture like that around a miller claim), and that you've manipulated my words in a way that I wouldn't expect town-you to do. Call it burden of proficiency if you'd like.In post 331, pieguyn wrote:except it's the next step I'd take as town. you're not explaining WHY said action comes from a scum POV, as opposed to a town POV. you're not countering anything. you're trying to box me in
No, I don't care whether you attack me. I'm simultaneously posting to attack you, and to show everyone else why you're scum.In post 331, pieguyn wrote:your posts are manipulative as fuck. you're trying to stop me from attacking you back.
Wat.In post 331, pieguyn wrote:THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL CONTRADICTION AND YOU KNOW IT. THE CONTRADICTION IS, YOU WERE MAKING PUSHES ON ME THAT ONLY WORK ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT I KNOW THE FLAVOR, WHEN YOU STATED JUST NOW YOU WERE ASSUMING THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO HAD WATCHED THE ANIME BUT NOT THE MANGA AND THEY WOULDN'T KNOW HOW IT ACTUALLY ENDED. DON'T FUCKING TRY TO WRIGGLE OUT OF THIS
That's not a contradiction.
Other people weren't using it to posture a future attack. You were.-

So you're saying townies don't lose their train of thought?In post 350, ActionDan wrote:F-16 is scum because after this post he never touched this again. He was clearly needling Brian Skies before this and this particular post does not give a sufficient answer to F-16's question.
The question, paraphrased, that F-16 asks Brian is, why is Brian concerned about Pie putting Brian in Pie's town block when Pie also has F-16 (who is scummy to Brian) in his town block. Brian's answer misinterprets the question and assumes Brian was put into F-16's town block also. If F-16 was particularly concerned about this line of inquiry, he would have continued it. It drops completely after post #26.
F-16 has had ample opportunity to look over this since I quoted it again but still didn't pick up on it. That's telling. He thinks it's history, done and over with, and can't remember why it was important to him... which means it never was.
Um...
I lose my train of thought a lot more as town than scum; I normally have an agenda as scum, which makes it easier for me to track what I'm pushing and I. I'm working on aligning my town game more to that, since it's annoying to read in my ISO that I've noted something, but not remember why I've noted it :/-

1) Majority consensus=1 person.In post 354, pieguyn wrote:more like I wasn't paying attention to exactly who was saying what about the flavor bc I was sheeping the majority consensus
AND SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR MANIPULATIVE RESPONSES. YOU WERE NOT "CLEARLY REFERRING TO A SPECIFIC PERSON". YOU ASKED IF I WAS "SHEEPING BS". I INTERPRETED IT TO MEAN SHEEPING SOMETHING THAT WAS BULLSHIT. IS THIS REALLY SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND
2) BS was capitalized because... wait...-

You still took a noncommittal stance on Bert using a flavor justification that you didn't understand.In post 354, pieguyn wrote:it's a contradiction bc you were assuming there were people who watched anime but not hte manga and thus wouldn't know the whole story. however, where did this assumption go when you wanted to accuse me of posturing? your actions don't match your words
also you still think I'm posturing, despite the fact that your initial assumption that the game was based off the manga is wrong?
That's still posturing.-

Largely it's because your push on me reeks.In post 354, pieguyn wrote:if you're town I don't get why the hell you don't wanna let go of smth that's been flat-out proven to be incorrect. you're scum and you keep coming back to this like just by bringing it up you can crush my whole case against you. you really haven't provided adequate answers for any of my points. instead you keep going back to this and the whole "BS" thing. I've explained how all my actions make sense from a town motivation, and you just ignore it and twist my words around.
I'm done arguing with you. at this point you're just twisting my words around, and it's p obvious you're scum so idgaf. until you can come up with some actually legitimate points, I won't be responding to any more walls, as there's no need to
now I need lots more votes on BRO. let's lynch the fuck out of this
I'm not twisting your words. I'm using your words to try to look into the motivations that back them, which in turn elucidate your alignment to me. You haven't tried to parse any of what I've said. You haven't thrown questions my way, only accusations. You haven't actually pointed out what the scum motivation in anything I've done has been, you've just said things like "there's a contradiction/your case is weak/you're twisting my words. SCUM!"-

There's a difference between losing track of a note on a specific point and not remembering someone's name.In post 357, pieguyn wrote:

where'd this stance go when he was pushing me for supposedly forgetting about brian skies? if townies supposedly lose their train of thought, why would be apparently be so surprised at me "forgetting" that?
it's complete fucking BS and we need to lynch the fuck out of this before I go any more insane-

Gonna correct myself, Tammy also can't reasonably deny it.In post 373, BROseidon wrote:I think I see what you're driving at, muffin.
You aren't be the only player in this game that knows that I'm easy to push, you're just the only one who can't deny it.
Anyone else could spend 5 minutes counting shit on my wiki and seeing that I have a scummy town game.-

I'm using him using it to obfuscate my point and turn the attack on me to push. He misinterpreted my point, used that against me, and then didn't back off on it, instead trying to keep it as a point against me.-

Again, are you asserting that there's 1 scum in {me, Pie}In post 389, Brian Skies wrote:Sorry, not enough time to go back and read your interactions thoroughly. I'll re-read them when I get back. Current opinion: I think Pie comes out better because some of the aspects of your argument seem overplayed. Anyhow, Tammy makes some comments about the discussion in your favor, so I want to go back and check later to see if I'm in the wrong.-

Plum's not that widely suspected though...In post 392, mykonian wrote:Which is why the undercurrent that names plum is surprising to me. It's different than what I expected from this game and I'm trying to find out if the reasons is either that people simply don't know her, or because I'm wrong about my assumptions about her, or because scum is somehow mingling in that discussion and amplifying the noise it's making in this game. Regardless, it says very little about plum's allignment. It might say something about the people talking about her.-

I'm defensive because I'm responding to attacks on me.In post 398, Paschendale wrote:Very well, perhaps I was mistaken in my conclusions over this "weak" modifier thing. The whole think stunk to me, though.
Plum's posts still have me uneasy, but I'm willing to accept being wrong about the "weak" thing. But I don't like the way she handled it at all.
Otherwise, there are so many different things going on. I think F-16 is floudering all over the place. I'm not sure what's going on in his mind, but he's puking all over the page.
I'm not inspired by Dan at all, or Tammy. Tammy makes good points, but then ignored all of them to vote for me. I've seen a couple people say things like "nothing Pasch posts looks like town". Sorry, that's just how I sound. I get mislynched a lot because people apparently don't know how to read me.
Muffin is, in my experience, pretty level-headed and is playing to that in this game. I think he's right about Bro. Bro started out strong, like he had some ideas, but has seriously petered out since. He looks unfocused and defensive. Not sure how I feel about his quickhammer comment about F-16. though. Why wouldn't he cast the l-1 vote? Seems weird.
VOTE: Bro
I was actually on a train all day yesterday. I forgot to post about it in this thread. You can see posts about it in mini 1536 and 1537.In post 396, Kagami wrote:Pasch's crazy post followed by ninja vanish still seems like the most suspicious thing that's happened thus far.
Wat.
Also, you have like twice as many scum reads as there are scum.
I'd rather lynch Pie, but I'll probably end up jumping to this since mine and F-16's wagons look counter to this, and his posts suck.-
