Chess is a struggle between my desire not to think and my desire not to lose.
- Jan Gustafsson.
Summary
Achromatic naturally opens the game with a lengthy wallpost talking about the other players that are present here today, which he claims to have written because he was excited. This might not be directly alignment-indicative, although this beginning style contrasts with Achro’s openings in Morbtainado and Strategem-10, where his openings as evil were shorter than more reserved. On the other hand, his openings were this short as well in Love is War and in UFO.
A common thread between all of Achro’s openings is that he likes to start a conversation. You can see this quite clearly in that he wasn’t overly critical about his own opening.
Marluna was aligned with Town in that game. Achro was a participant in Love is War, and his mention of Sulit’s previous win clearly indicates that he’s willing to put in research towards slots he doesn’t know as well, so slipping up about Marluna is weird. It’s not suspicious though; Achro’s opening post simply had a different focus in mind. The real benefit of the opener is to discuss the playstyles of his fellow GameFAQ players, which I appreciate very much. His questions are meaningless in of themselves, asking to hear people’s favourite setup possibilities is entirely pointless, this is just a conversation starter. I like it.
- May. We have never played on opposing teams, so continuing the streak would be fantastic.
- Zenon. I would consider us friends, she plays errantly which I find really fun, she has a great method that doesn’t line up too much with my own strategy, and while I haven’t seen her best wolfplay yet, she usually comes across as easy to read town for me.
- Garfooled. He’s fun to have around and he doesn’t always follow the same thoughts as the rest of the town.
- Achro. This is because even if I read you as evil, convincing everyone to side with that vote before MELO would be next to impossible.
- Hazard. I saw his play in Grand Idea as a Lost Wolf and I was caught off guard to see him flip evil. This is a paranoia placement, may reevaluate later.
- Leafia. Her play wasn’t stellar in our last game, but she at least convinced me and Litten before falling back into doing old tricks. Until I can evaluate her new threat level, she’s here for now.
Leafia is always scared of Achro immediately as Town, I swear. A lot of Leafia’s behaviour revolves around Achro, because she’s fearful of him as either alignment. She didn’t vote him first in UFO or in Need for Speed, so if she’s evil this is a bold action from her. Is Leafia calling her own behaviour scummy? I see her do this all the time as evil, and this was called out in the graveyard by someone else, so it’s not just being made up. Has anyone seen Leafia say this as Town?
Proph begins the game by microreading slots, which I don’t really find alignment indicative given what I’ve heard about their play. Proph then improves by deeply analysing Leafia’s slot a couple times, and sharing meta, so Proph is likely town as well at this stage.
Garfooled sensing something engineered between Leafia and Achro is a good look for him.
I bet this is not the entire scumteam.
Five votes is a lot. This statistically isn’t pure, regardless of Leafia’s actual alignment, given how many players kept jumping on. I guess I would be looking at Lea or Mr.L at this stage?
Leafia (5): sulit, Achromatic, Lea, Mr.L, Prophylaxis
Probably Lea for this naked unvote.
I would be pretty happy if the wolves outed themselves on the first day to hammer someone immediately.
Also I’m the Serial Killer.
