They’re not new
Okay, good to know.
They’re probably not as towny as I thought then.
They’ve been playing for at least 2 years, not sure if they played botc for longer
I dont think any of this is particularly towny tbh
all posts that are a level of game related
A Caveat being that if Phraze flips wolf, I think Bystander’s wolf equity raises
(And makes Luxy and Bionic less likely to be wolves. There was at most one wolf on the hippo wagon.)Kind of don’t think it’s derps and littlelee are both wolves (with Sulit)
Doesn’t really make sense to me for two wolves to park their vote on a partner d1?
Obviously it has probably happened, but doesn’t feel like the vibe.
Or it is exactly the vibe tbh
VOTE: Sulit
The only one in the vibecheck who I don’t have wishy-washy opinion on
If I had to make a towncore in no particular order
I’d probably say like
Bystander
Windward
Sheep
Zugzwang
TutuuThose are the ones that I think are the least likely of flipping wolf just from how they have played the game thus far and my experience with them
(Sheep is probably the least confident read there though)
I honestly townread the sheer chutzpah to tunnel the one person who has spent the entire game defending you
Plus the two people who actually have relevant experience with Phraze townread them
So like
I’m erring on the side of being more likely town
As for the content, I get it, but part of their polarization from what I remember Windward has said is that as town you can see gears turn, but as wolf you’re just left feeling what the fuck.
I can see gears turn with Phraze
Bystander spent day 1 going “Guys, I don’t think Phraze is a wolf” while most others were following Windward going “My experience with Phraze says this is outing if they never show back up”
Phraze showed back up with a vote on Bystander, the one person who believed in them being town. And stuck to it even after learning that Bystander was townreading them because iirc they didn’t like how Bystander was going about it.
I expect basically any mafia to just accept the town read, because a town read is a town read.
I generally get that you think Phraze and I are paired for whatever reason
But my question is why do you think I’m a wolf, especially outside of Phraze, because I’m struggling to tell which one of us you think is more likely a wolf.
I presume that it’s a case of Phraze wolf doesn’t necessarily mean I’m a wolf, but if I’m a wolf Phraze is almost certainly a wolf?
Also, why do you think the two of us are paired?
Because like
Shifting gears often on a read, not actually that common, but also
Look at how hippo played
From a retrospective wholistic standpoint, obvtown. My gut told me so
But his literal actual posts everytime I interacted with them or read them? Wolfy as fuck
I’m like 69% sure they’re both joking, but like
If they aren’t I’m even more confused
Because why jump onto my wagon when both were town reading me from what I could tell yesterday?
Maybe Tutuu is wolfing
Not him hearting me contemplating him being a wolf
I’m killing Tutuu if SDA flips town
VOTE: derps
VOTE: tutuu
I hate how Tutuu went about this whole damn thing
To be fair though
Hippo wagon being pure is a possibility
At most one wolf regardless
The funniest world is me, SDA, tutuu, and Bystander all being town and doing this shit
Sulit is a good vote
VOTE: sulit
Vibechecked the wagon with Sulit as a wolf
Listen, if I was actually wolfing you would not be “hmmm, maybe Apo is wolfing”
I would be a hell of a lot more obvious
Because my posts suck way more as a wolf
Curious about the discounting of Bionic as a possibility
(And Luxy, but that’s a personal spicy Vibecheck of the EOD wagons read (aka me going top wagon probably has a wolf, and it has to be bionic or Luxy because bystander is locktown)
I was the one who didn’t like Marluna and Phraze’s eod pop-ins
Just didn’t vibe with low posters just showing up suddenly at eod
Windward gave her verdict of me being town with regards to the sheep-tutuu voting me incident
Derps doesn’t like how I post
Sheep voted me as a reaction test, tutuu joined in
I failed it, but in such a “what the fuck” way that Tutuu went back to town reading me. But still has paranoia about it
Sheep has yet to give his proper opinion/unvote
Mostly because of the aforementioned failed but in a “what the fuck” way
Anyway
I disagree with Tutuu that SDA and I are a difference check
I am convinced that SDA is town now
I think tutuu is town tbh
Tutuu is a tinfoilable nerd
Frost is one of those slots where it’s easy to see like
Both wolf flips and town flips
Which sucks
The towniest players in the game:
Apo is town
Phraze and Derps:
Imma ignore that
What do you mean piled on him
Man was d1’d with four fuckin votes made out of apathy and because the other potential target of Phraze was marginally townier by virtue of even fucking showing up and trying to solve as a supposedly polarized player
Phraze:VOTE: Apocryphal
read a bit and I’m comfortable with bionic for now
Like seriously
Wh
The fuck you mean sure thing buddy
I was actually there
I am literally one of the people who voted for hippo
I am straight up one of the people who’s hands are bloodied by sacrificing him to the mafia gods upon the alter that is the daily execution
There is no “sure thing buddy”
I am right, because I was literally there and involved in the relevant incident
Just so you know, Luxy went through and amplified Rhea’s reads at day start, which had several critical updates from that reads list
Like (lightly) town reading Windward and I think Phraze?Because like
That reads list was from Rhea’s entrance
Not her final posts of the day. I do not expect entrance reads lists to be representative of how one thinks at the end of day, except for maybe the initial stronger town reads.
Frost exists in a similar state right now to another player I’ve played with, who can be pretty accurate but always has the most what the fuck presence in thread because I cannot for the life of me scrute his thought process, but is pretty easily findable as town despite this.
Like, I want to town read Frost for this, but at the same time I hate it.
Like yeah, I can see what you mean by calling him lazy, I’ve been way more able to find Frost as town in prior games together iirc
And here his vibes are just wack
He’s nowhere near towncore levels of town
This is a PoE of all time
I am currently voting the person I think is more likely to be a wolf
(aka Sulit)
Though
A part of me is starting to get doubts
Mostly because of how stagnant the Sulit wagon has been
Fuck it we ball
VOTE: Derps
I’m going to bed now
there’s nothing in here that makes me want to pull apo out of my poe
progression is kinda wack
can’t see the gears turning
It’s not towny considering that’s almost exactly how I see wolves push on town!Frost quite often
Problem is just that we don’t know Frost’s alignment lol
Tempted to say that if he’s town, we should probably kill Marluna for those posts
I think frost is probably town I don’t think they claim how they did as mafia
i could see a apo/bionic pairing
Yeah I agree
Their ISO isn’t great at all looking back at it, especially coming from a player who seems to have a decent amount of experience.
I also don’t really want to kill a lowposter lol
Why did everyone get off the Bionic wagon?
(based on apo’s treatment of them. i haven’t gone thru bionic’s iso yet.)
idk dawg
these wagons suck and wolves have clearly made no attempt to powerwolf because they don’t need to powerwolf to lead people rn
[quote=“Luxy, post:2078, topic:9100, full:true”]
VOTE: apo
i do not like the message flood
RVS so probably NAI - they’re not really putting in any effort to solve early on.
we could lynch wind d1
it’s a d1 lynch might as well hve fun with it
VOTE: wind
imagine lynching someone d1 when they return to the game
Same
no im not town im bionic
Says this to a townread on themselves. Rhea read this as forcing a response to a read.
Hippo you’re doing like your jail game, people will consider your reads weak if you don’t give your reasonings
Hippopablompoyeetus:ive founs another mafia
This is the extent of it
The tone of this post is reasonably wolfy (and I think Rhea picked up on it as well). Normally I would put more reasoning into this but I’m giving it a pass because hippo didn’t actually provide reasons for his read. If hippo had provided reasons, I would say this was an attempt to discredit a read rather than deal or make a sufficient counterargument against it. I find it quite wolfy to reference a time when someone previously misread you as a means to defend themselves in a new game.
If you’re gonna push me at least do it right smh
[quote=“Hippopablompoyeetus, post:417, topic:9100”]
Hippo you’re doing like your jail game, people will consider your reads weak if you don’t give your reasonings
[/quote]Yes haha you remind me of jail game where i said u were mafia and no one listened to me
okay that is decent reasoning, whats your reason on tutuu?
I thought the top of these posts was reasonable. Bionic was attempting to get a reason for hippo’s read on them. But their response when hippo actually gives a reason is just like “okay, not turn your attention to this player”.
meh the vote on luxy wasn’t that wierd to me, he explained it pretty well even if it could be an easy cop out vote, that only matters if we know lucy alignment.
however
tutuu:wolves randing alignment cop is hilarious. although i guess that means they take it away from town so it evens out
using the setup to make content is something I’d do as wolf don’t know about tutuu
This was in response to hippo wolfreading tutuu for their D1 post on my sulit read.
We play a very similair way and i think of myself as a shitpost conneussuir and i think i can tell when mafia are shitposting in an attempt to be townread and when town are true shitposting
And youre giving me the same vibe you gave me in jail where actually a lot of what you are saying kinda seems to want to be townread
Hippo seemed reasonably certain on their Bionic read tbh.
Out of all my messages i just got that i:
- Voted apo for talking too much
- Voted wind for the silly
- Chilled a bit
- Questioned your line of thinking
If i was reading myself, i wouldn’t take any of this as town except the last one
Self aware.
i should read on derps and wind
Derps has nothing expect calling me mafia
Wind has a little more then nothing but i got nothing from reading it
and all the wagons areat 2 wtf
Let’s change that
VOTE: Luxy
you know what i think youre towny so we ball
VOTE: Luxy
[quote=“Bionic, post:1310, topic:9100”]
@Bionic do you have a reason for voting Luxy other than sheeping ApoThau?
[/quote]no
I noticed this sequence earlier when I was reading the voters on my D1 wagon that I didn’t like. I read it as NAI back then. Bionic is quite a chaotic player. Not sure how I feel about it in the wider context just yet. I’m going to think about it.
VOTE: Hippo
And then he switches back to hippo and starts hard pushing him once the wagon on me started to fall away.
If you wanna thunderdome around me the whole game we are gonna solve this d1
you’re just trying to appear nice and jokey now beacuse you have 3 votes
[quote=“Bionic, post:1347, topic:9100”]
im always nice and jokey
[/quote]i renemebr you being seriously trying to actually rally up a vote on me on jail, where you were town and i was mafia
[quote=“Bionic, post:1357, topic:9100”]
What is the case on hippo anyway
[/quote]I feel like hippo is just gonna keep tinfoiling on me for the entire game and he is being weak on the push rn to try it later and just look harmless
Ofc i wanna stay alive over someone who likely could be mafia
He even admits that his push was an omgus.
WindwardAway:Why are you so obsessively concerned about getting misexed later on? It’s D1
[/quote]I’d rather just not have a ticking bomb on me whenever hippo feels opportunistic
I think Windy kinda hit the spot with this.
Bionic:Other wagons aren’t looking good either
Luxy had derps who is another wagon and Tutuu who was a wagon
Derps has rhea and sheep who are hard to read when they post walls, sheep a bit lessThis I would say was his secondary reason for pushing on hippo?
It’s very low level reasoning - especially the Derps wagon read. The derps wagon was probably the most pure Day 1 wagon. This was also subtle shading of 4 players in one go. The mafia team is 4 players. I understand you may think more than 4 players are wolfy but this feels like a bit of a stretch.
Bionic:Message i plan on sending at start of day
Hippo isn’t a big loss considering he was probably gonna misexe me later and probably get misexed in a snowball effect, rip his never misexed status though
I have no info or stuff from my role to share
:3c
And his opener today was not great as I mentioned above.
Overall, about 50% of his ISO is fluff. I also understand that Bionic has a loud playstyle and has tunnelling tendencies. That being said, he was chaotic all day one and very reserved SoD2 (obviously this may change). I also understand that tunnelling players for dubious reasons used to be a towntell of Bionic’s, but that now he does it as both alignments.
I haven’t seen anything that makes Bionic towny in his ISO. Most of it seems to be NAI/a joke. That being said, I think the hippo push was bad - the primary reasoning being that hippo would mislynch him later on if he was allowed to live past D1 and secondary reasoning that he didn’t like the voters on the other wagons. With respect, the primary reason is a bad reason to push on someone and is even worse when they flip town. I don’t think Bionic made any attempt, past asking for hippo’s reasons, to actually deal with his reasons or provide any sort of counterargument?
Another point is Bionic has been very self-centered and selfish this game. Pushing to lynch hippo because they might mislynch you without other reasons as well I think is wolf-siding at the very least. Townies should put the effort into understanding why someone may be pushing on them or misreading them, not just try to lynch them. Re-evaluating and understanding other’s perspectives and why they may think differently to you is an important mafia skill. This is a bit of a tangent and a rant, but I think the selfishness may be wolf indicative, rather than the bad play itself.
I’m very tempted to solve this dome ngl. I’ve always been one to lynch the counterwagon if the first wagon flipped town, though unfortunately there wasn’t exactly a counterwagon on Day 1 as very little players were around EoD1. Bionic was also mentioned by a few players to be a wolf, but never really gained any traction as a wagon, which isn’t a great look.
Finally, from NKA, Bionic did complain about Rhea’s wallposting and I don’t think Rhea said that Bionic was a townread at all, so they had no reason not to kill Rhea (and may have even wanted to to get rid of the walls lol).
I will note that I came to this ISO thinking Bionic may be a wolf, so my perspective may be conf!biased, so I would like people to correct me or put their input into the things I’ve said if they can see a different interpretation of Bionic’s posts thus far.
My points on Bionic
Luxy:I find it quite wolfy to reference a time when someone previously misread you as a means to defend themselves in a new game.
i did it before on a game with luka
Luxy:“okay, not turn your attention to this player”.
??? i was getting all the reasoning, he was also WRing tutuu
Luxy:Hippo seemed reasonably certain on their Bionic read tbh.
Hippo had a good read of me on jail but it’s not correct now, zug even showed a wolf game of me Hippo TRd (or the opposite i forgot)
Luxy:Overall, about 50% of his ISO is fluff
that’s all my previous games! This is not even a town or mafia thing for me i straight up fluff all the time
Luxy:Another point is Bionic has been very self-centered and selfish this game. Pushing to lynch hippo because they might mislynch you without other reasons as well I think is wolf-siding at the very least.
I’d come as tacky and not genuine if i said i cared about voting someone who was gonna certainly push me later, it was a gamble, it failed, at least he isn’t gonna push me (but the mafia definitely will to get the free 2 for 1)

Yeah I am aware - I don’t think it’s AI at all for you. I was more saying it there wasn’t a tonne to put into the ISO because a lot of it was fluff.

So do you think my push on you is justified? Or do you think I am wolf motivated in doing it?
My response to Bionic’s response
Rip quote
Why did everyone get off the Bionic wagon?
Cause when I realtimed with him I was like ok maybe he deserves the benefit of the doubt cause there were one or two towny posts there
I’m not going through his ISO to find them again, tho.
Idk how to read him. I voted him off of "if he advocated for killing hippo and then came in and started the day with, ‘oh too bad hippo flipped town, whatever’, and nobody is discussing it, then maybe he’s a wolf trying to skirt under the radar by being loud and confusing.
Which is like, not a great reason to vote anyone, I know, but it was a starting point to get him to talk and to get others to talk about his slot.
But yeah I do feel like a bunch of people followed me onto Bionic and then followed me onto sulit so I can’t tell if people trust me or if wolves are encouraging me to lead a mislunch and I’ve been super paranoid about it all day.

The joys of being consensus town
these wagons suck and wolves have clearly made no attempt to powerwolf because they don’t need to powerwolf to lead people rn
Yeah but where the fuck else should the wagons be? If we dissolved both the top wagons rn who would you suggest to replace them? Sulits wagon is like, me, plus people sheeping me for whatever reason. Frost’s wagon is idk but I think I like it less.
Yeah but where the fuck else should the wagons be?
If you agree why arent you trying harder to find the right wagon?
