Hydra-Optional Vig10er - Day 4 - Town Wins

kat was right about wind, i was wrong about wind

orange was right about melody, you were wrong about melody

we were both wrong about litten

wow

how different wtf

yes im being a butt about this but you have legitimately been as wrong as we have lmfao

and i don’t know if you’re a villager so the ‘4 villagers’ thing doesn’t hold weight fmpov

and im being generous because i never truly scumread melody

We are not aspiring to be the leaders.
At least I am not.

And as per our pre-game discussion, Dum wants mostly to handle macro game size reads (as you’ve seen), which both usually need time to… create macro scale to begin with, as well as are situation dependant.
Asking to do specific reads doesn’t really work here.

Paradoxally, exactly due to our non-aspiration to lead this town is why you should listen when we call lack of depth on reads. And I do this both day 1 and day 2.
Dum also had some macro stuff, but those were bit more directly involved into discussion, so they should be taken with bit more doubt.

Either way - I’m NOT going to tell you who to lynch.
As some people know, I don’t believe in american styled mafia that everyone has to shout over each other to get own opinion through.

Sometimes having neutral bastion to get to for reality check i better.
In this case it should be your hydramate.
But again, it seems most of you didn’t divide tasks between hydra heads. Didn’t discuss roles or aproach pre-game. And are definetly not trying to actively doubt each otehrs reads in order to make sure they are not missing some important bits.

Instead of that I see a lot of “My hydra partner thinks that, but I think that.”
If you have two different opinions and you are not trying to discuss it between each other to find which one is correct, what’s the point of hydra?
Or even worse - “We agree that X is scum/town”. If you are having 2 people false-assuing each other, what’s the point of hydra?

Hydra is a reality check. Discussion.
All reads need to be discussed. All unpleasant questions asked. Just to make a read is foolproof.
Only then it really make sense to present it.

In our case, Dum is going to handle reads. I’m here to doubt him, but also motivate him.
As well as handle… other thread-specific stuff.

Ergo - zero reads from eevee.

Counter counter point. I’m town. That was a good and much needed break too. I feel a lot better now. :sleepingleafeon:

WHATS AMERICAN STYLED MAFIA

kat had the correct read on Wind but made no effort to save her and willingly went along with killing her (your slot was voting her at EoD)

Ruby was floating around my PoE but when orange told me that he was vetoing a Ruby exe I was willing to trust his judgment and (unlike kat) he was trying more or less as hard as he could to save her

you’re drawing a false equivalence

like if kat had been like ‘Wind’s a villager, I don’t care what Chloe says, get the fuck off her’ I would have fewer concerns about your hydra :joy_cat:

her having the correct read but letting you kill Wind anyway is arguably more concerning than you guys just being wrong because, like, ‘being wrong on Wind’ is a thing that villagers can reasonably do, ‘thinking Wind-in-particular is a villager but not doing anything about it except vaguely making fun of people and still voting her at EoD’ makes much less sense from a village motivation

i mean tbh ive made it p clear to chloe that… actually, i guess i could just steal eevees wording

replace Dum with Chloe (and him with her if you wanna be nice) and honestly its kinda our dynamic?

obviously… i think chloe is better than me at making reads and villaging, but our hydra is like 80% chloe 20% katze (prob even more one sided) whereas yours is presumably closer to 50/50

so i kinda agree that she’s drawing a false equivalence in this specific scenario but also shes neglecting to mention the part where im not doing anything half the game :joy_cat:

me not trying to save wind is mostly a result of a not super high confidence read and also… im not really planning to call too many shots lol

if i had her at locktown id have told chloe to sit down and let the big katze lead but it was like, >rand v at most

(tbh though i do regret not asking more about why LBW survived D1)

-kat

Oh right, and about that part.

Yes, I was aware Litten was a vig.
For example stuff like this:

It’s answer to FK.
Not only it says to kill eevee if vig dies, but also the whole post is omitting “idrc slot is a vig”.

I even had to explain to Dum why am I signaling “we are not the vig” to someone when we were supposed to seem like a vig.
And honestly it was bad communication level. Could probably do it bit cleaner.

The being said, Litten went even less cleaner with this “perfect plan” to begin with.
Or them not accepting exchange offer. Altho they would be dead on n2 then. Meh.

have you met me

like, im not even gonna say “you know i can do better as a wolf”, because we both know thats true

but i dont think you can tell me with a straight face that this isnt in my unengaged villager range :joy_cat:

-k

I think it’s in your unengaged villager range for ‘some random LHF you don’t care about or really see as valuable’ but Wind is Wind

Just got home.

Will not have time to back read today. If you need me for something @ me

-Dum

every slot in this game is insignificant compared to my own, so

shitposts aside i don’t… really care who composes a slot in that situation, my teammate was tunneled and i wasn’t going to tell them to full stop with my confidence/engagement, end of story

(also, again, i was pretty unaware at how much heat dispersed from LBW)

eevee u are like a living labyrinth

trochi tired

Here’s my case bbn on Kiiruma.

Why the hyper focusing on me? Even if he’s certain I’m a wolf, he hasn’t even been trying to figure out who he thinks my partner is and he has no congingency plans for if I flip villager.

Also, even he knows that going for a mislynch here is always afer and better than going for a 1 for 1 so why is he so certain that I’m trying to go for a 1 for 1? Which isn’t something I can ever see me doing as a wolf.

That’s literally his only stated view and it feels like he’s trying to set up a misexe on me then plans on getting a villager to vote for another villager in lylo.

It may not look like it, but everything I’ve done has been town motivated which is something Kiiruma isn’t willing to even accept as being possible even though we’ll be in lylo if I get executed and that singlemindedness scares me. Ijust can’t see it coming from a villager because villagers should be doublechecking to make sure their reads are correct right now, not in a literal deathtunnel on someone and refusing to see the possibility that they’re deathtunneled on a villager.

:sleepingleafeon:

The thing you consider “mafia” in general.
Aka. everyone expresses reads and whover shouts the loudest gets theirs lynch through.

Paradoxaly what live mafias as well as russian forums gravitate towards is having 2-3 people expressing who is suspected and rest centering around the, trying to find which of them is trustworthy, who to follow.
Questioning theirs reads. Making sure they are coherent.
Also - in very advanced games - selecting corret leader for current game day. Like person able to perform psychoanalysis on day 1, while macro players only starting day 3+.

After all it’s easier to townread someone in the end, so finding someone trustworthy is just easier. And gathers townies on a single wagons.

And wagons themself are more coherent due to multiple people questioning it and trying to “refine and polish” it.

Basicly completely different aproach.

No offense, but “everyone has right to express opinion” american mindset is lowering amount of it complexity. Cause everyone has pride to express it and try to be correct. While it’s not really necessary. And usually leads to games being more shallow in the end.

ok lets select our leader for the day

okay eevee good luck picking the yeet target for today :)
