Under what circumstance?

-E
Right now if you could decide which two players would be flipped would one of them be Wisdom? Other one is gameplay if I'm not wrong.

And if a majority of people want to have Wisdom flipped, would you argue against that?
I wouldn't argue for it or against it. I don't feel certain enough with my reads to feel comfortable with BPing Shoshin and killing gameplay right now, TBH.

Also in case I forget to sign for a bit, most of these posts are probably me. I don't think Ank plans to engage the game until things have calmed down a little and there's a little more strength to reads.

I guess.

People exaggerate a lot in mafia and I typically am overly honest if anything. It throws me for a loop.

They are trying to get you to take a stance on Wisdom

I've gone through periods of getting lynched a lot. I haven't gotten lynched so much this year. I believe once.

People aren't even always exaggerating.

Regardless, people overrate their own abilities and if you portray things accurately and fairly then their own personal reads won't be put to the same accuracy and fairness and will never be as enticing.

Because I've already stated my reads are weak at best
Because it's trying to force players within 24 hours of game start to take strong stances.

What are your reads, Dann?

This is the first post I've seen from S_S that makes me lean town on him ever so slightly. I don't understand the other people town reading him at this point and especially not the vote on him.
