For the last part I dont know LMAO. It was moreso "do we think a wolf tries to bait AM for a start"

I remember someone not named mayo loving to fight with AM (its a futurama pfp dont remember the name now LOL) , so for them it wouldnt apply, but was wondering if Mayo is just based and something normal for them

As the architype of serious players, I can't help but question this take. While on one hand, a casual adherence to an underlying freewheeling, even epicurean extremes these games, I don't want to see them descend to the hedonistic depths I've seen in the past.

Let me share a story. I had a friend in elementary school, Billy John. I never understood why he had two first names, but he did.

Anyway, we used to be really serious about our games of connect-four. One spring recess, we decided to put a wager on it. SEVEN DOLLARS!

That was all the money I had at the time. You have to realize, I was a child. That was serious money.

Billy John won.

I was devestated.

"Double or nothing!" I said, knowing that I could never make good on the debt if I lost.

Billy John agreed. I lost again.

"Double or nothing" I said. Billy John agreed again and once again I was in the hole more money than I could ever possibly hope to pay back. My parents gave me an allowance of a dollar a week. That was fair at the time, but it would take half a year to earn back what I had lost.

"Double or nothing"

I shocked myself as the words left my mouth.

This time however, fate was on my side. I WON!!!

Confidently, I was back to zero. Billy John was devastated. A fortune having been ripped from his grasp, I could tell he was mad. Honestly, I was mad.

"Loser has to leave, forever" These were the terms that Billy John laid down for the final game. Despite myself, I accepted.

I'd never played for the like before, or since.

It was an epic game. We filled the entire board. With the last piece, the very last piece, my red checker slid into place for a diagonal win. "Connect Four!"

I had won.

To my eternal regret, Billy John was a man of his word.

I don't know what he said to his parents to convince them, but the next week they moved out of town. Not just out of town. Not just out of state, but all the way to Iowa.

It's been 20 years and I haven't seen him since.

I've never seen a greater representation of sportsmanship, and honestly, I'd be offended if I see anything less during this game.

Having not even actually read Mayo's post, THIS is Mayo's based 😂

I do think JJJ is kinda trying to get some sus to get the game rolling. My issue is that what I expect from jay is moreso townbloccing rather than trying to create confrontation. So I think the approach here is kinda wolfy

We'll get there! I've voiced some town reads. The game needs to exist before we can do anything with it in the way of bloccs.

Asking me questions based on meta is not going to be a strong suit of mine.

That said, isn't mayo one of the players that always has a policy yeet? In which case, I'd expect him to make the same opening post regardless, but perhaps with more dedication to it if wolf in an attempt to get that village read for consistency

His vote is 100% NAI here because I know exactly why it happened.

Welcome to champs JJJ.

BARK! BORK BORK! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RUFF! BEOUF BEOUF! SHIA LEBARK!
 
For historical context, Mayo always votes one of the nominees in these champs practice games.

His argument being that they’re going to get pushed hard out the gate in champs, so they should get the practice of being pushed.

I don’t think that’s usually how champs goes, but I’m not surprised to see Mayo vote AM, under the circumstances.
 
Okay, initial findings:

Zenge does not care at all about my aggression, and I think that's fine. I may even town read it, because he doesn't give me the impression that he is trying to think of an appropriate reply -- he's just receiving it as it lies.

samac remains at least a bit suspicious, and she seems off to me. That's not some severe accusation, but it's my initial take. She doesn't typically struggle to take clear stances.

You said it too late.

But also "you don't think"??? You've literally been to champs before. Of course, it doesn't go that way.

You force your fist down their throat and make them dance.

How strongly and why?
Click to expand...
I wont have any strong read *now*

But If I compare mayo to the rest, then they feel better than almost everyone who has posted, hence why I state the tr. Partly is because they made me laugh, but eh I think the vote onto memeing while not caring much aboyt the discussion has the right amount of /not caring to blend/ that usually is town indicative

Personally, I'm guessing 2 wolves haven't posted yet. Thread feels fairly towny, though I could see 1 wolf blending in.

I didn't say you have to be sure. I am definitely not sure.

You haven't provided a stance. I can't assess your surety or non because it isn't there.
 
moonstermash said:
Understood.

You have any ideas for how to start? I got nothing tbh.

moonstermash said:
I mean, he basically told us he had a plan for this game, I was curious if it started now or later. And I'm perfectly willing to defer to him (or anyone) who wants to be town captain tbh. (At least until it's D3 and neither they nor I am dead...)

This is probably the posts that made me tr moon the most out of everyone.

SAR open vibe and them openly asking for people to give directions of questions was villagey

Thanks for explaining. I agree.

I think PSV appears to be comfortable in her own skin.

Also rereading the first page, and just wondering what in the NAI is this to comment. About PSV, who is one of the best wolves tonally (and jay should know this) . Yet they are on a start of trying to pick more sketchy things and have a charitable take to psv .... wowee

I do think PSV fading again is rand wolfy, but I have an inclination to suspect PSV out of paranoia so Im just mentally noting it down for now

I am quite good at reading PSV in our limited games playing together. I can grasp the vibe. I understand if you don't see it yet, and I am not sure it'd be easy to explain.

Mafia PSV does not typically look like this. It's not really "tone". It's approach. It's attitude. Very often, when she "fades" and gets sussed for it, she ends up flipping green.

My sample size could validly be questioned here (as with many reads I'd make on SDN regulars), but it's my impression.

I disagree. PSV is an excellent wolf, but I feel like her pointed approach with a slightly relaxed air that she's shown so far is far more likely to be village!PSV

Pretend these are differing shades of green, the color panel doesn't provide many options. I have some non-zero town impression of all of them. The lower tier is weaker, but still non-zero.
