I'm halfway around at the moment. If anyone else is here and would like my detailed thoughts on a specific player, please make a request. Ideally I'd prefer a player that isn't already being discussed at length -- think of someone you're clueless about.
 
I said earlier that I would read Dina purely on vibes. I changed my mind and have ISO'd her too, in light of my own town read being vague and a few people stating null reads. Let's explore.

Dinashadow ISO

I think it makes sense from a perspective of "I wolfed with Dina before and know she absolutely hates it and wouldn't choose it"

I think it makes less sense from a perspective of "inactive Dina isn't a wolf"

Because inactivity is nai for me. Although I do feel more of an obligation to be active as wolf, it doesn't always work out that

In casino we were PM buddies and I was very inactive and she basically advocated for me as village against dubz

So I guess I can kinda see where she's coming from from her POV


Overall a lot of words to answer your question with a 🤷‍♀️

Gun to my head I feel good about samac, but when I think about why, I know it's a bias that she wouldn't want to wolf and not from anything I've seen from her yet

I like JJJ's posts. They feel warm and comfy and remind me of how he posted in Kirby. But I also watched him play stardew so not sure what to do with these initial feelings

Has he done anything in particular to set you off?

I don't think I've ever played with wolf mayo outside of a speed game

Regardless, I can't make sense of his aff with his posts ever (as fun as they are)

Can you explain this more? Have you played with wolf!clem?

You had a separate category in your reads list of people you hadn't heard enough from but clem is green because more substance = sus?

What happened that dropped clem from village lean to now idk? Also you never answered my question from earlier

I feel like PSV lacks the usual gusto I've seen from her. She feels very defensive and not very offensive. But I've never seen her wolf before and don't know if that fits her wolf meta.

So you're voting mayo because he was aggressive?

Obviously I can't speak for everyone else, but I was following what you were saying re: PSV replying from a "if I was a wolf" mindset. I was also confused about her jumping to jester as well.

Red - At shorty's request, Dina spent a couple of posts exploring her view of samac (who had town read Dina early). If I wanted I could call this "hedging" or "waffling" or one of those words, but meh. It's fine. She was prompted for a read, and I appreciate that she both tried to be thoughtful but also not to force out a stance beyond "gun to head". Not extremely town material, but fine.

Green - While I'd love to accept the pocket and call it a day, I'll be responsible. This could be called more classically hedgy given the "but" caveat. There's nothing technically wrong with the read, but it's still kind of a take it or leave it. I will call this mostly NAI.

Blue - I like this a bit from Dina, but she identified an important moment that I had glossed over. I will actually poke at it myself after I share this review. Just saying "it's weird to town read Clem" isn't that meaningful, because it's pretty easy for anyone to make that accusation. I like the follow-through though.

Orange - Agreeable take on PSV, albeit one aligned with consensus. Probably not something that should clear Dina.

I included a few other game-relevant posts that might be interesting, but I don't have much to say about them. I'm more or less where I was before: I like the cut of Dina's jib. From an analytic standpoint, she's more null than that -- but I'm still not bothered by anything.
 
Poll for the People

How do you feel about the color-reference wall format I have used? Please choose all that apply.

1) I like having all the posts in one spoiler and referencing with colors.
2) I would prefer a post-by-post breakdown with commentary in between them.
3) I have no preference and will read anyway.
4) I don't read walls.
5) I like turtles.
 
Updated reads list, not ordered, also not caught up from D1 asdldkfjglkjask

Town: AM, shorty, SAR

Neutral with town lean: genny, Dina, samac, Santy

Idk: sheltermed, Boq, Dubz, Clem, marmot, Nate, mkg

Neutral with sus lean: dyachei, Veggie, JJJ, PSV

Sus: Stagg, mayo

EDIT: My autocorrect is AGGRESSIVE today
Credit to Dina for noticing and questioning before I did. The backtracks on genny and Clem are as strange to me as the original town reads were. Anyone is allowed to change their mind and develop a read; it's just important to grasp the progression from (A) to (B).

I was already unsure about the sincerity of (A) [town reading genny and Clem]. If the read was honest, however, then it's also hard to understand why they'd have changed in the time since. Clem has gone from doing Clem things to doing the same Clem things, so what inspires the drop to neutral? The genny drop is less significant and can maybe make sense, because genny did engage the game more concretely than Clem.

@chicandtoughness, I know you're already seeing questions piled onto you, so if your time is limited when you next visit, you should ignore me and focus on your own efforts to solve the game. Please only address this if you have time to spare.
 
is there merit to shorty and santy being masons or is that just memeing

Surface level but I think this is towny
@kaydubs just accidentally video called me for the second time this week, so I'm gonna take a break and hyperventilate for a bit because that was extremely perilous.

Good good, pocketing a mod is key way to succes in mafia
vote to kill: santy

* Stares at Clem with extreme prejudice *
I don't actually hate the vote though 🤔 I feel like Santy hasn't been overtly town

@potentialsheltervet I am super sketched out by this. WHEN was I overtly town for you? Like ffs its our usual dance that I always misread you and you never trust me. So what is this assesment? What is me being overtly town for you PSV? I think this a snarky and super fake commentary coming from from you POV. So I *heavilu* insist for you to expand
I would generally agree with this... except I also found the "I wish I had a gun" post interesting. Not in a "this is sus and I have a gripe about it" way, but in a "hm I'm going to tuck that away for later" way.

I think my mason also asked to expand if possible. So I'll just do a +1 wowee

Def 1. Because its easier to parse throug (and skip),. But for visibility purposes if you find something extremely compelling I'd advise a little bit of option 2

But also, why are you taking a bus so early @Santygrass?
It was a long weekend (Friday and Monday were festive? I think is the word so I was free from the shackles of work and was on a mink vacation). Now I have to take a bus for a 5h+ travel to go home and then to work.... But bus isnt here aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa panicpanicpanic

My plan was to sleep through the entire travel but now Im filles with anxiety its already been 1 hour Ihatethissomuch
 
Couple things. I wouldn't say I'm from the syndicate at all. I've probably played as many games there this year as I have on sdn this year. Which is to say I've played there but not a ton. I play more on mu because I value the technology there

That's out of the way.

@supershorty what's your read on psv outside the perspective thing? My issue is that even if I were to put that aside for her, she hasn't moved the game along much. She doesn't have many stances

I would agree with that, but I also don’t know that I really expect that from early game!PSV regardless? She’s misyeeted D1 not infrequently with similar reasoning.

By not infrequently, I mean I remember it happening at least once, but I think twice. Possibly more than that.

She’s a strong enough villager in later game and I’m not good at reading her in early game that it would take a pretty obvious slip for me to go there on D1.

I am very interested in how she responds to this though because I also don’t recall mason Momma being overtly towny to PSV approximately ever.

Can someone who has any read on sheltermed tickle me with your thoughts because from spec, I nearly always find her wolfy because of the questions she asks and what she does afterward. Which means I don’t actually trust my current uncomfortable vibes there, since that’s always how I read her.

idk about her yet but so far seems similar to the most recent game
 
Ngl I kinda want to vote marmot because the lack of substance for the number of posts he has is not the marmot I remember from finale.
hi so that's marmot in early game for you *most of the time*

I <3 marmot, but he can be a little lacking in substance from time to time. I wanna give him a bit more time

(have wolfed with him before)

I think they have low content , but mostly comes from a town pov? Like, I compare shelter to veggie and I think the direction of posts of sheltermed and stances of the game have more ¿Nuance? Or desire to solve? In it idk. Hard to explain but Im vibing

I think comparing champs to *any* player is a bad idea ngl
 
and I’m not good at reading her in early game
I’m not sure I actually misread her in early game all that often, now that I think about this, but I think it’s because I hedge and refuse to commit most of the time until later in the game. The one exception I can think of being CYO 3, where I blocced her correctly D1 and then we both got N1ed.

I think I was leaning the right way on her D1 in Literary, but then I let that go and slid her to neutrals for a while before revisiting it.
 
@JaggedJimmyJay do you agree with this assessment?
More or less, sure. I’m not sure I’d say “most” of the time, but it’s well within both of their ranges (town and mafia) to fart around for a while. Marmot’s meta is pretty diverse. The effortful Sloonei disciple of the finale is only one of their forms.

I’m null on them. There is a shelf life to it though. Eventually I’m gonna need stuff.

My Dina read is basically going to be pure vibe check for the time being (and I have liked her vibe). I place a lot of value in the SDN consensus on reads like this one though. I dunno ****e.
Are there any other SDN consensus rewards you’re putting value it

My SAR read is also quite vibey, and I’ve been reassured that the better qualified SDN vibe checkers have broadly seemed to agree.

I will take pretty much any intra-SDN viewpoint seriously though. Y’all possess much background knowledge on each other that I do not.

I did expand, but I'll state it again. I haven't seen you giving many of your own thoughts, moreso piggybacking off of other people and memeing. It isn't really what I would've expected from you at this point. You're right though, I do always wolfread you. So :shrug:

I didn't really think anyone had a read on SAR at this point tbh
