wrong assumption, i'm talking about nk15's claim. sounds good on paper, we can't accidentally run up the PA or execute the TD. at the time of writing that, i think i was reading titus's post that said the claim will get in the way of natural wagon formation/executions (or something along those lines), and i think it holds true somewhat even with the New And Improved plan.
Ah, I assumed you meant Menalque because that's the one that (1) happened at the very start of the game and (2) is definitely fake. I see what you mean about it getting in the way of letting people play the game normally.

Everyone fluffposts, there's no reason not to admit to it, and there's nothing suspicious about admitting to it especially when it's as obvious as it is in Hel's case.

Really dislike this post. There is nothing LAMIST about that argument as far as I can see, and if you think Hel is trying to bury something she said under a mountain of fluff then you should find the thing instead of just suggesting that it might be there.

Also, why are you even voting notscience? All you said was "decent place to start"

In post 490, Titus wrote:I don't like EE being wagoned here. He's not defensive enough to be scum IMO. It's a meta read which is blah but it's better than most anything else on day 1.
I feel like the best way to read Norwee is by looking at his reads and the gamestate to see how much they line up, as well as to press him on his reasoning for why he takes stances when he does take certain stances. If it feels opportunistic and feels like what scum would do, its probably scum.

In post 517, Titus wrote:I specifically want Ali to comment on the problem I see with NK claiming early and how it screws up town dynamics.
it was this right
In post 493, Titus wrote:Ok. The PA claiming here (which I suppose is real, otherwise the real one would CC and we net a scum) is not a good thing for town in the long run. Townreads now must self sensor. It's not enough just to suspect someone is scum but that read must also get past NK15 gatekeeping.

This would be ok if NK 15 only had to block one lynch but he cannot do that without screaming someone is the TD.

So we're left with halfbaked plans of trying to force two wagons on day 1 just to have disagreement to cover NK's tracks.


All of this interrupts innate scumhunting. It also makes VCA meaningless. Why would anyone feel threatened before a second wagon unless NK explicitly endorses it is ok?
I'm not sure what exactly you want me to comment on.
The way I see it, I feel like, its problematic because the way the setup I feel like was meant to be played, PA and TD were supposed to be hidden until a certain point that I don't know when that is, and the PA is supposed to lead us away from the TD w/o revealing who they are.

In post 520, Titus wrote:He wasn't part of T v A and didn't see how someone being conftown and in control of lynches (despite trying not to) impacts the game. The less controlling I was, the better town did. So the dual lynch thing might be the best we have, but it's still a problem.
Ya if only NK15 was as smart and as good as you. Maybe he'd even have an avatar.

In post 524, Umlaut wrote:I really hate that claim (that big bold "

Scattered thoughts:
  • I think we all agree Menalque is town.
  • I've decided Radical Rat is town as well; his gamesolving attempts seem to come from a town place (though also seem a bit like cat-herding; his plan in requires close to unanimous agreement to be workable)
  • I agree with the arguments that username tone-slipping so quickly is probably a towntell.
  • notscience' vocal suspicion of the NK claim is weird and pings me
  • I kind of agree with but given the cat is out of the bag we have to make the best of it.
  • I think there's a high probability there is at least one smuggler in those who haven't posted since NK15 outed. (Which is six players so that's not a hugely impressive deduction I guess)
VOTE: notscience
reasoning to vote notty is bad here.

If Hel is who I believe she is (maybe someone can confirm this for me), lolmeme is NAI for her. That said I'm not feeling great about the slot either and it's hard to really put my finger on what's different about it. Can you try and say what exactly you find fake about the playstyle in this case?

It would be helpful to get a readlist from you.

Wait I just read the rest of NK15's claim post. He doesn't want to out the TD, so he's going to risk outing the TD. Brilliant.
