This game is a psyop, I'm convinced of it

Ooooo, whatchya looking for?
Nothing specific, we euthanized this morning because one of her feet was bad bad. So we did post-mortem rads and then took a couple of samples for general screening/herd health stuff. Her guts were a bit angry but nothing else major going on.

Ouch
 
Howdy, so sorry for the radio silence to start Day 1! I just started a new job recently and onboarding has been kicking my butt, but I'm finally sat down and caught up.
To the favorite spooky movie question, for me probably Army of Darkness (I love me some good camp).
And to offer a few thoughts and questions after catching up:

JJJ – Earlier you seemed pretty convinced that wolves would jump at the chance to complain about empty role cards to blend in. Now that Clem gave everyone that refresh, do you still feel like those initial reactions actually mean anything alignment-wise, or was it really just village confusion across the board?
Apop - You’ve been poking at Jay’s early vote hop and shifting reads. Where are you currently landing on him versus other players?
Beans - You gave an early village lean on Dubz fairly quickly. What specifically about their entrance felt distinctly village to you?
 
Gentle town read on apoptosis.

To Spurs and basille, who’d asked if I still believe in “wolves blended into game confision discourse” theory — not really. It was a hunch, but I consider it essentially obsolete as of the role card updates. I may or may not have been right, but I’m resetting.

Do you feel like dubz exclusively powerwolfs? Specifically is that what you think she looked like in jaWWs?
I was modding jawws so that doesn't mean much, though I did specifically say that i wasn't putting much stock in her powerwolf meta atm. I think she's very potentially in wolf range given her work obligations lately
 
I started out with a blank role card, and when it got updated my response was "ok so the blank roles were probably town after all." I don't think I'd be thinking otherwise unless I got an alignment that suggested otherwise...

But I also don't see why wolf!jay would put that out there, unless to throw a red herring.
To expand on my apoptosis town read — this was what I suspected they were thinking when they questioned me earlier. It vibed like a “did you just slip?” kind of question that I think is more likely to be a spontaneous town thought (even if misguided). I’ll keep that read reasonably tentative, since I telegraphed it a little bit.
 
I'm quite pleased with the early participation! Apparently the secret sauce is to get dubz to promote the event...

Ironically I now think they're probably blending into the "should we ignore day 0" discourse

Mostly that dubz just feels very chill in a way I have to come to associate with her being village (or neutral 3p ig). It is a very vibes based village lean currently

With 14 players, many affiliation ratios are possible. This is ClemSDN, so I think at least one third party is likely (maybe two). Seems like every game has that, so...

10:3:1 or 9:3:2 would be the most likely arrangements. 11:3 if there is no 3p.

In most such arrangements, I think the "magic number" for town reads (not including oneself) for a "solved" game is about 7 on Day 1. Leave wiggle room as ever for a closed setup, because it requires assumptions.

But I will aim for 7 town reads. I have 3 so far.
 
I harbor a little suspicion of beans since the start of Proper Day 1, but I tread carefully. I'm a bit torn on one thing in particular:

- Why stand in support of "wolves knew themselves all along" theory if it doesn't really impact your reads anyway?
- Does beans oppose the initial soft consensus by taking that stand if she's a wolf? Is that a necessary thing to do?

Correction, sorta: 9:3:2 would be more accurately described as 9:3:1:1

Woop sorry forgot to ping in my last post, but I vote Army of Darkness!
@GoSpursGo
 
I'm intrigued by the apop and kitz village reads bc I don't feel like there's been much discussion about them?

I'm going to cautiously town-lean apop and katie for being willing to discuss the nature of the role PM update. While I usually don't feel any sort of way about talking about mech, I feel like this comes from a genuine place of wanting to understand the game setup, and presumably the mafia has some idea about the game setup by now.

I am not certain I believe that Jay had no reads, because that didn't seem how he felt last night. But I won't be voting him today regardless.
@beans2020 this is where I talked about my initial apop town-read, alongside same for katie
 
What are your impressions of those two (and if you feel like it, of the people making those reads)?
I can see the village read for kitz especially after her post talking about being confused about her role PM - that's enough for me to village lean her for now.
I feel like there hasn't been anything particularly AI for apop. The discussion of the role PM's isn't enough for me to village read her for it - that's not out of apop's wolf range.

I still don't really have a reason to wolfread spurs atm and I've already mentioned the dubz villagelean. I do want to be careful about not immediately clearing either one of them right now, but I don't think I'm interested in a vote on either of them today.
