Shrub this is a reads duel. I'm going to out 6 townreads, and you're going to out 6 townreads. At the end of the game I'm going to shove it in your face that my townreads were better than yours. Ready?

I'd like to challenge Shrub to a duel of reads (people looking for legitimate game content ignore this exchange because it's just for the sake of my own ego)

probably nothing anyone says will change my mind tbh

vote: yoyo200900

I don't think there's anyway this lynch can be wrong

if anyone can give me a reason to lynch one of the isp'ers i might flip before the thread closes but im just leaving this here for now because im off to school

peace

i fos Arcbell because his actions - at least towards me do not make sense as a towns actions. He is not genuine whatsoever and literally everything is forced.

Arcbell is probably town. He's been towny since his first posts but I would expect that from him as mafia. However he's kept up his towny posts despite how players are fossing him. Maybe he's pocketed me but I think that as town he would townread me, so it all lines up nicely.

I think that your fosses against Arcbell are largely based on fear. People fear being beaten by a mild mannered, logical player more than they fear losing to an ISPer because they know that they can accuse the ISPer of dishonorable play. They cannot accuse a high profile player of that though. If the player that has posted the most wins as mafia then the town will feel truly outplayed. This is why noobs overthink and fos people for "leading as unclear" or for "being too nice". The noob wishes to avoid being outplayed so much that they will form a confirmation bias and end up fossing the good player for everything.

It was a risk to post this, my townread on Arcbell isn't as strong as some others, but with towns like xSoniaNeverMindx tunneling me I think that we will lose unless Arcbell is town, so stop tunneling him.
no.

I'm gonna explain why we all need to be unified behind one vote today:

Sample end of day tally:

T = town, M = Mafia

Players being voted:

(M) - being voted by: (T)(T)(M)
(T) - being voted by: (T)(M)
(M) - being voted by: (T)(T)
(T) - being voted by: (T)(T)

.. etc.. (bunch of players not voting, or being a single vote on someone else)

Mafia sits and waits to see if a town naturally changes to a town. If not, the mafia voting (M) votes one of the two (T) being voted. This doesn't look suspicious because when votes are split people change their votes all the time. We don't even find out that the (M) changed off a mafia at all until the person is finally lynched. Maybe we don't read into it. Mafia changes vote from mafia to town easily and doesn't really tell town anything in the process.

Better way:

(M or T) - being voted by: (T)(T)(T)(T)(T)(M)(M)
(T) - being voted by: (T)(T)(M)

Mafia can't do sh*t without being obvious here. We might lynch town but it's better to do it this way and maybe lynch mafia, than hover around with a bunch of votes on different players and 100% guarantee a lynch on town.

Like, seriously, watch. If the votes are split between a bunch of players at the end of the day and the margin between votes, I'm gonna call it out. If I call it out, I promise you 100% we are gonna end up lynching town today.

So suck it up and follow my BW who could very well be town or mafia. Get over your pride and the fact that you'd be sheeping Arcbell, and vote ThirdAug
Shrubabout 10 years ago
Arcbell just does not seem natural at all. All his lines are so forced. I feel like Mafia are trying to get ThirdAug lynched in as subtle a way as possible by being reluctant to actually vote but then actually voting anyway.

And someone send me a PM when the game's over
yoyo200900about 10 years ago
If you lynch me don't lynch any of my townreads
Arcbellabout 10 years ago
If I don't purposefully inflate my passion for the game, I'm going to end up ISP'ing worse than ThirdAug, izzy.
