14/14
I dont think the stagg wagon is pure

I’m also thinking indy and dvmd aren’t w/w
 
i don’t think even with the d1 disadvantage, stagg would put all 3 village as the vote choices for d2
 
probably better to independently evaluate all 3 and not pay much attention to why stagg picked the way he did
 
DUBZ DUBZ DUBZ
BLOCC BLOCC BLOCC
Oh cool. I’m not being summoned to read Dubz for once.

Your village read of me felt too pockety.

Who in their right mind village reads me.

Which I realize is the opposite logic for part of what I don’t like about Clem. But it makes sense in context.

You’re village reading me too much.
He’s not village reading me enough.
I like this better
 
Purely noob vibes …..

But, alas:

zenge
Fruit
Rae

wildzoo
Samac

stagg
JJJ


others I can’t speak on yet……

@WildZoo was making a good case for Not Wolf but is lowering by the minute, a little sus
How has your Dubz read evolved since this? She was feeling a little bit better to me over time if anything
 
samac and Stagg

@Stagg737 COME BE SKETCHY DAMMIT

you
genny
and then probably stagg who isnt here tbh just cause

It was very nothing

You just wanna yeet staff lol

So the stagg vote feels like little information but if it is a wolf hit and the folks for tomorrow are RNG’d that’s probably best case scenario for bagging a wolf
But worse case scenario for a misyeet

Bleh

Genny, DVM, stagg

I think

I’m going to kick myself in the shins for saying you might be right

But doesn’t that boy love to scum?

I do appreciate that both stagg and I were psych attendings on July 1 in an academic medical center and I played while my interns were presenting.

I’m a bad attending lol

Okay

Yeet stagg

I would only worry if Stagg is a hit.

We’re on stagg. He’s going over I think.

Also enjoy your time with your friends!
Thanks for voting. I would have worried if stagg was a wolf lol



samac's handling of Stagg mostly mirrors my own. She never really protected him in any way that matters even if she wasn't enthusiastic about the vote. Her vote was fifth on the final wagon, so it didn't move mountains. But I'm fine with her.
 
Dubz and Stagg

Stagg Stagg Stagg


Kidding probably. I would have a hard time listing three names from the people who have shown up so far. Of that pool I've only gotten real pings from fruit :shrug:

yeet Stagg

Stagg
fruit

PSV
SAR
Indy
DVMD
genny

April
Zenge
Jay
Clem

rae
samac

I think I'd like Jay to stick around today but have the option to have him on the board tomorrow?

Like in my perfect world we yeet Stagg today and tomorrow our options are fruit, PSV, and Jay I think. Mostly because there is enough distrust of Jay among my village reads that I think that would be important, but I also think given more time he could clear himself if village, and I don't feel strongly enough to vote him out immediately.

But also the odds Stagg doesn't remember to submit his choices regardless of his affiliation are high, so tomorrow in that scenario maybe random!

I was just about to ask you to sanity check me because I'm nervous

Unyeet Stagg yeet fruit

It's not really lol but that's alright

I may still move back to Stagg, things just felt a little stag(g)nant and that makes me itchy when it's a vote I started on d1

I have my doubts that he could honestly distinguish you doing helpful things vs appearing to do helpful things with how little he says he's read

Nah I ain't buying it

Unyeet PSV yeet stagg

I do believe if Stagg is wolf then Jay is village hmmyes


Dubz was probably the premier reason Stagg was destroyed. That alone doesn't sell me, knowing how Stagg operates. However, she is also responsible for what I think is the best post in the Stagg-review series (I colored it blue). She had a keen and correct insight about Stagg's read on me that both helps people to see me properly and also motivated me to return to the Stagg wagon. Dubz is a good kid.
 
fruitsalad and Stagg

PSV or Stagg (leaning toward PSV more though because i don’t know Stagg), genny, you i think

I don’t think Stagg is a wolf

Hang on let me get a colored reads list out

I believe Stagg is a misdirection, he’s coming across as a wolfy villager to me

This is a strange reasoning when looking at it but this looks like coming from a wolfy villager


Well it doesn't look great at face value. I'm not sure what it was about Stagg's posts that came across as "wolfy villager". One could argue that fruitsalad would be more likely to just bus Stagg instead of do this at EOD. However, SDN has an inordinately large population of players that just do not want to bus at all (even when declining to do so is to their detriment). I can't speak on fruitsalad's perspective there, because I don't know.

Anyway, I will continue to view fruitsalad as a suspect.
 
Clem and Stagg

This is a read I can feel myself hating myself for making even in the moment but **** it I'm TRing Stagg

This I probably agree with


This isn't that different to fruitsalad. Clem would have no qualms about bussing, however, so whatever. This interaction isn't a reason to clear him anyway.
 
Clem could be accused of just plain having bad reads, and I generally respect his accuracy even if he's not perfect.

Wolf read Zenge
Wolf read samac
Wolf read Jay
Town read Stagg

Three (two) of these aren't confirmed as "bad reads" yet, so we'll see. At the moment Clem will probably die before them anyway.

I can’t help but wonder if he’s a jester tbh
 
April and Stagg

Genuine question, had stagg actually posted before this point (memory bad) or is it a policy vote

Earlier, I mentioned Stagg's anti-April post as a decent look, but I already changed my mind. Stagg was on death row by that point and April was in zero danger. It would be unwise to clear her on that basis.

April's own content about Stagg is mostly vacant. I'm not clearing her.
 
Looks good in association with Stagg
WildZoo
samac

Looks okay in association with Stagg
rae
Indy
Zenge

Looks neutral or worse in association with Stagg
DVMDream
SAR
genny
PSV
April
Clem
fruitsalad

The names in categories are in no particular order. This wasn't as helpful as I'd have liked, but that tends to happen when the wolf has 10 posts.

Stagg associations only account for a portion of a players' overall position anyway.

I’ll fully own up to having a bad read on stagg

For once I actually think this is reasonable and fair

I know this is just me talking and doesn't mean anything but I wouldn't have let myself have zero interactions with a packmate, I would have manufactured SOMEthing if I was wolf
 
Putting all this in one place to review.


I realize that focusing on this could be actively damaging given the possible outcome that they're both town, and these vaguely thunderdomy kinds of things are often bad for threads. I am doing it anyway, because these two players share their vibe-driven and low-explication styles, and it is atypical for both of them to aggress upon one another like this. So it feels like someone is right in their suspicion.

Unfortunately, I cannot draw much from their comments about each other. They don't really provide comments. They provide vibes. This is their style, and that's fine. But when two people are doing it to each other, I end up with nothing to do but shrug. Zenge did provide one reason, that Clem should town read him more than he does. This at least works in the timeline. Clem voiced suspicion of Zenge before the reverse with enough time to spare for that thought to exist in Zenge's head.

I have no idea on Clem's part. Zenge doesn't strike me as out of the ordinary. That doesn't mean Clem is wrong. This post is aimless. I dunno.
How do you feel now that Clem is village reading Zenge?
 
Clem self yeeting feels weird to me, but again, it sounds like Clem is generally chaotic so this may be par for the course.

Flow data is NOT analyzed, my doc was 20 minutes late for my appointment, and I grabbed my spouse’s laptop instead of my own fml
This feels like slightly villagery noob engagement
 
A little better. It’s easier to understand “Clem went on a strange little adventure and has returned home” than “Clem has moved away to live in an asylum just for kicks”
Right now Clem is living in his own category in my reads list called "Probably striving for a power trip via death" so all of his weirdness is getting explained that way lol
 
I don't think that's true tbh. When I'm making meta reads and wanting to make sure my read is actually correct (not that it appears correct but it's actually correct) I spend time fact checking myself. Granted that's me but I still don't think town has no incentive to verify.
I fly by the seat of my pants. I don't even have time to catch up on thread, let alone hunt down other info. But we know this about me lol
 
the actual post was kind of odd. like it was a list of reads, but stagg wasn't in the list, he was just a "needs more info" and then she voted him?
This doesn't inherently make me feel great, between the "no real wolf" reads list so settles on Stagg for lack of engagement, and the willingness to jump off of stagg and onto another noob, especially when Fruit was actually not even down in orange in that original reads list
^Pickle, I have two more señor players who are suspicious of me for bussing (which may I remind you, Shorty is manatoring me and would be highly offended). Plus stagg put me up for next yeet. Maybe not the pickliest pickle to ever pickle, but certainly a pickle of my own doing.

I'm still confused here tbh, how does this tell us a villager flipped?

My cat has an appointment with fat camp (the nutritionist) this morning, but once I sit down in the lab and get some flow data actually worked on I'll have some stuff I wanna share. I will say I don't feel good about voting samac but I feel worse voting clem. Is it a power trip, an incitement of chaos, or does he know something we don't?
 
Clem and Zenge being mutually antagonistic has really screwed with my mojo.

These are town reads:

samac
rae
Indy

Clem/Zenge might be too. I hope they develop whatever they're doing into something easier to interpret.

Otherwise, I don't really have a lot of trust to dole out. Previous town reads have fallen off (e.g., fruitsalad), and there are a lot of nulls floating around.
What makes you feel confident in the noobs/has that changed since this post?

I liked that Indy showed some kind of nuance/process in their read of me (moving from wolf read to town read), but that became moot when Indy voted for me again after that (when my wagon was at its peak). I don't town read Indy.

rae has just seemed like she's making an earnest effort to solve, more than most would in their first game ever (and more than I see from a first-timer randing mafia almost ever). I am taking care with this one though. She's a bit of a standout in today's three names since it's easy to see why Stagg would include the other two (Clem is easy to vote out and samac is a meme).
 
Current reads:
Zenge
Clem
samac

WZ
genny
fruit
JJJ
SAR
_rae_
April

PSV
Indy
Stagg


Honestly these keep changing as more chatting occurs, so this may all alter as I read through more posts.

Stagg is an obvious choice as they haven't really posted, but they may just be busy and I don't want to go for a low hanging fruit either.
Hmmm

This feels like it could be a bussy-but-willing-to-not-bus packmate post

Also feels strange that some active and quite different players got roped into neutrals but Zenge and Clem are up in green
