Micro Normal 1100 | Game Over

[JacksonVirgo]

I think neither of those things

[JacksonVirgo]

I don't know if you recall but they were my top town-read as well

[GuyInFreezer]

Game needs to progress, I'm feeling worse and worse about the slot.

For next time, it’s more effective if you just do naked vote and afk for half a day.

[JacksonVirgo]

This is an unconventional vote/though so I expect to get backlash but I do think this flips wolf hilariously enough. I don't think the read on him would be so polarized if he were Town

Hence my confusion. I guess I don’t understand strategy.

Eh not necessarily. People tend to scumread others who don’t share a similar playstyle, and this game has players with polarizing playstyles.

[JacksonVirgo]

I'll try and explain my thought process. While I was catching up, I had this constant nagging feeling that I was town-reading too many people. At the end of the catchup, I had scum-read one single person and even then the read was a fleeting one. Writing up my readlist threw it right into my consciousness that my reads were top heavy, so I thought about my top tier. I dislike GIF in comparison with the others, but then thinking about Roland and how polarized they are had me thinking that I could be way off. I have a habit of townreading scum early so I want to flip that on it's head. I trust Drew/N_M aren't wolves together so there's a polarized view on Roland regardless so there's this pit in my gut that just does not like the slot and it's emphasising the scummy parts I was reading them with more than the inverse that I was before. This is the first time in a while I used another's reads to form my own, so it feels strange ahaha but little risk on day 1.

Also this interaction makes me more confident that Kay is town, so at least there's that.

And this is ok, tbh. While some of us live in the abyss and only play the games to grab as much bragging rights (which is the "endgame" of mafia games) as possible, we don't

have

to solve everything all at once.
As someone who focuses on townhunting over scumhunting, this happens to me quite frequently. What I do then is to pick one name that I just don't see myself placing above bottom 2~3 of the list, flip that, and go from there.
Some of us do much better with few flips to analyze, after all.

[KayJayQueue]

I

know

I have too many town reads.

[RolandOfGilead]

So why don't you ask me some tough questions then, Jackson, if you want clarity on my slot?

Unlike Drew, I will actually answer your questions and explain where I'm coming from.

[RolandOfGilead]

But if you're gonna carry on with "I kinda just have this FEELING, man!" then it certainly won't be MY fault that the game isn't progressing.

[JacksonVirgo]

That's one hell of a strawman of my vote lol

[JacksonVirgo]

I'm planning on it, when I find a chunk of time to sink into this game

[RolandOfGilead]

For me I don't see anything wrong with believing that Random Nurse / Not_scum / Doctor Drew contains our two scum.

[RolandOfGilead]

Also, what's your basis for saying Drew and NM can't be wolves together? How do you have any clarity at all on anything associated with NM?

[JacksonVirgo]

No direct link, I just don't see that being the solve.

[JacksonVirgo]

Feel free to argue that solve

[GuyInFreezer]

For me I don't see anything wrong with believing that Random Nurse / Not_scum / Doctor Drew contains our two scum.

If you have to pick two, which would they be?

[RolandOfGilead]

Feel free to argue that solve

Sure, okay. The only thing NM has done is provide a reads list with literally no background. He's an empty canvas.

This is like if you go to an art museum and look at a piece of art and say "I think the point is to describe the emptiness of life, the void within us all" and I say "dude, it's just a blank sheet of scratch paper". I just don't really understand how you can make ANY conclusions about it at all.

[RolandOfGilead]

For me I don't see anything wrong with believing that Random Nurse / Not_scum / Doctor Drew contains our two scum.

If you have to pick two, which would they be?

Kind of an unfair question because Random Nurse appears to be completely absent, so it isn't fair to make a decision on that slot. But I do feel good about Drew being scum.

[GuyInFreezer]

I mean nothing is stopping us from assuming that RN is lurking scum.

[KayJayQueue]

Okay which one of GIF, Roland, Drew and Solon is scum? I know one of my town reads has to be off, so which is it?

[GuyInFreezer]

Not it
