Tales of the Abyss - Town Victory!

How does my off-the-cuff early game meta comparison make me town? I’m strawmanning myself a little bit here, but I don’t understand how me linking a meta analysis I did wrt Leafia a year ago makes me likely town.

the amount of cackling I am doing reading archo and hippos posts is large

Could you explain the L read when you get the chance? I sort of see how you’re getting to IGCD town but I don’t have the same meta knowledge to draw upon.

She’s been posting one-liners/mostly fluffposting thus far. How would you expect her to play as town? Not to disparage her, but her play thus far in the first seven hours of this game is a little bit at odds about what you’ve described from her in your first post.

@Magnus are u good at woofing

Glad you remember me so well Prophy

Several players have mentioned that your playstyle seems geared for reaction testing, so I’ll bite.

Talk to me about why you think Kiiruma and Hazardwaste are town? I have Kiiruma as null/slightly wolfy thus far for that weird self-aware thought that Hippo pointed out (which probably makes them unaligned tbh), and Hazard hasn’t really pinged me thus far yet.

I’ll ask you the same question I asked Leafia – what do you expect from Achro at this point in the game? He’s acting fairly normally from what I expect of him.

Why the hell is Leafia voting someone that Chris suspects?

Leafia thought that Chris was a wolf, right?

So she thinks wolf!Chris is moving from town!Leafia to bus his buddy wolf!Lea?

@Leafia - can you explain your thought process here? Could you clarify your reads on both Chris and Lea?

lw tired bye bye

This question is meaningless. You’re not going to deny that you’re Town.
I quoted your meta link, but you had a more in-depth Leafia read prior to that post. I’ve heard enough about your townplay, and that presumably means you’re a capable evil as well, but piling onto any player as early as you did with supporting arguments comes more likely from a villager.

That depends on your criteria. I haven’t won a game as evil recently.
What makes someone good at playing evil?

this is too deep of a question for me rn

Could you give me the cliffs notes in terms of meta insight on Mr. L/Ben? I’m not a GameFAQer so I don’t need to hear the full story, but a succinct summary would be appreciated to at least glean your thought process.

And nvm, I see Zenon posted her reasoning as to why she’s townreading the people she is in 551. It’s not super detailed but eh.

kiiruma moment

I’m vaguely cautious of you, but I’ve also reviewed and re-analyzed that game we played a million times. I’m obsessed with self-improvement. Having that wolfgame fresh in my mind makes me feel more likely to be able to read you well, not less. I know exactly what I’m looking for.

In general, my ability to read people scales with knowing them. I’m usually good at spotting people’s reactions to their past games, so the more familiar I am with someone, the more comfortable I am with them. That’s no small part of why I sustain the masonry in-joke with Magnus, though the fact that I’ve never been in a game where they were wolf is what makes me inevitably paranoid.

can u answer my garf question too

Yes, but I do like to hear people’s reasoning as to why they townread me. I’ve had many a wolf fudge an easy townread on me, and struggle to fake a coherent thought process when pressed.

Fair, I can buy this reasoning.


I’m giving a D1 pass to Sir Chris/Achromatic, Marluna is likely town, Hippo is likely town.

Mindmelding with everyone else on Leafia wolf, their vote on Lea feels fairly disingenuous given that she called Chris a wolf and that Chris voted Lea before her. Like, if I saw my number 1 scum suspect vote for someone, I wouldn’t sheep them lol.

Kind of want to operate in like a devil’s advocate world honestly where Leafia ends up flipping town honestly in case we’re living in that disaster world? Reminds me a lot of D3 of Trials and Tribulations, heh.

Oh yea sorry. Achro quoted a post where Garfooled was being anti-solvy, saying “you can’t possibly have a read on Marlins this early”, and I agree with him that it’s wolfy
