Prehistoric Purgatory - Game Over: Town wins

It’s one of those things where the 1st argument was about me being "townlocked’ and if she was mafia she’d probably just accept it to pocket me.
2nd argument she probably plays along and messes around instead of complaining about it if she was mafia?

Like that’s my reasoning.

I’ll have a look at it in the morning.

What do you think about the other point I brought up?

I have some concerns with Trochi due to this line of argument, which he started pushing when Derps got pushed in the lead ahead of Lucky.

The consensus thing?

I can honestly see it if we end up voting out mafia then yeah I can see everyone getting complacent.

of course i got anxious
all i knew was that it had been same two people in spotlight no change all day
did it end up actually affecting my read no
but paranoia go brrr and you know i’m like that

my vibe radar says the way she’s been interacting with trochi and brad isn’t from wolf standpoint. and once she explained how she entered thread day 1, I thought that was pretty towny too. but I don’t know her so idk if that’s possibly within her scum play or not. just going off how I’d feel if I was her too and it makes sense to me

I have / had more neutral / unsure reads that also just kind of put her in a more town read position for me based on ranking people

Yes, but I believe this is the type of paranoia you would fake as a wolf. Am I incorrect?

yes and no

as a wolf i tend to be much pushier about it
you’re probably right that it’s the same general thing i’d do but execution would obviously be different
but lol self meta

I see.

If you were to apply your methods of reading Soren to reading me, what would your conclusion be?

town
town soren is blunt, snappy, and monotone but still obviously cares that things go right and will try to direct thread until being Productive and gets pissed when it’s not
scum soren could care less about shit since they already know the solve and there’s no sense of urgency or motivation in them whatsoever

obviously i can’t read soren how i would other people because we’ll never be different alignments
but i’ve noticed these things about their play style
after popcorn we’ve been trying to cooperate more in regards to mafia and that involves unpacking how exactly the other plays
they had words for me i can paraphrase if you’d like

too bad you’re getting them anyways
the most obvious thing they pointed out was that as town i tend to read people more on how they say things and how they feel to me rather than what they’re saying and doing, tone over content
and that i’ll do most anything to be townread because i enjoy it regardless of if i think it’s actually true/something i believe
they said as mafia i tend to fall back on over explaining and massively tryharding, and it comes off stiff and disjointed (and that i very much underestimate and downplay my town self as mafia)
and also that as mafia i tend to fake minor (not major) excuses like “oh i have to go wash the dishes” when i don’t want to be in thread because i feel guilty and like i have to explain myself

not exactly too sure how the sentiment that all self meta is bad and useless applies in this situation but meh

note that i did leave out the most blatantly insulting parts
i can add them on request but you better be damn sure there’s a reason

P#1509, you voted Derps.(2022-03-25T19:22:00Z)

…alright. Fair enough. None of this seems to be scummy, and in fact the interactions look towny.
…my bad. Sorry.

Bud, IDK what you’re on about with these “styles”. I ain’t a pro. I can only read at most 2 ahead when it comes to reading people.

As for your read on Porscha: Of course I would like to understand the reasons behind your reads. How else would I agree with you?

As of now, the state is:

  • Brad: I have a townread on Porscha
  • Zone: Why?
  • Brad: I had an agenda while asking Porscha a question, and I expected a scumtell if they are scum. Porscha didn’t make the scumtell, so I think she’s town.

I mean… Good for you, but I have my own reasons to scumread them.
I already addressed the “why would they have the need to defend someone they have little to no opinion of” (which you have yet to respond to as far as I’m aware) and I mentioned how their vote was literally just them sheeping your lead, which would make a great cover if they were to be asked “why did you vote Derps”.

I mean the post that brad insists makes me townie is the explanation as to why I voted SDA

Cool. Let’s do that. :handshake:

She didn’t do the scumtell and the post was extremely informative and detailed so basically went “above and beyond” what I was expecting.
