In post 1098, Vasex wrote:So do you find BM-townie with ease, HUB?

You mean generally speaking? Yeah I usually can toneread BM pretty easily and I kinda haven't gotten that here. Then again he's not typically a powerscum either, so he's more just *generally off meta* here which is why I'm trying not to use meta on him at all and just evaluate why he *could* be playing this dayphase the way he has. Like if this was a theme game, I'd say he was like an 'executioner' third party slot lmao but that's impossible here

In post 1096, Vasex wrote:Maybe BM always tries to become a leader? Smth like that. His attack was directed to SE's, and the third SE is killed by that moment. Is it common for him? I can imagine such a person, he sees himself a leader, maybe always?

not really? he can be a kind of leader in late game, but early game he's usually on the more passive side, that's what's really throwing me off so much here. This level of presence feels very atypical

Vasex do you want to sanity check me that a Jessie/Jim world does not actually feel right/plausible to you? I know that we're like, very focused on the posts KT has made lately that we've mostly been focused on but this is a good time to sanity check worlds where we're getting snowed lol

She is more townie than anybody here. Except me of course.

HUB, in my opinion there are good possibilities for BM to be townie. Almost the same possibilities that you have.

In post 1066, Vasex wrote:The right check is maybe to check HUB or BM, looking to the end of the game (and to hope Jim is not mafia; maybe he can be checked too, but he is townie almost to everyone so...). Floo and Kitty are not be checking in this game anymore, if it hasn't been already done, this will be the stupidest check ever.
I was kinda tempted to skip Vasex, but the level of certainty and the way he seems to be trying to direct night actions can sometimes come from power scum. That and I thought it was good to sanity check my read on this slot given the suspicions from flow trap and KT
In post 361, Vasex wrote:I don't know. I'm reading him again and again. Most of his posts can be townie, even the moment with PR (usually I have strong feelings what mafia cannot do easy and that thing about PR something from that stuff), but then I don't understand how he managed to get so bad vision of the players.
He acts like a troll, sometimes even like a player who definitely know what he is doing (remember I told about covering differences between townie and scum game? at last he know terms of the game well, much better than lazy me, and he has strong opinions about what is too early in the game, use terms like "mid-game" in analysis of players etc). And he is quite confident about his game, jokes about the game of others, gives rates to other players with ease.
But at the same time how he can get me scum with Ydrasse and you, HUB. This is something like the 1st level of newbie thinking: like if I openly play with HUB so we are mafia together, and if I played against flow trap with Ydrasse on the first page, so we are mafia together. So I'm totally confused in sum. And yeah he goes against people who voted him, right?
That's why it is better to know the experience of the players. But I play with zero notes for anybody. So what - to hang people for the biggest mistakes?
Maybe this strange position with confident play is a signal about mafia, but maybe he just sees the game very bad in the beginning or at all...
And I think I found a good "not a pair" between him and Jim. It could be a key.
In post 421, Vasex wrote:
In post 395, Ydrasse wrote:i’m james here back off........
No, I am James.
Because HUB and TRQ are my main townies in this game since now!
And you can be a scum. With floo, flow, jim, fairy etc. Kinky?
Now we need to understand who is the pokemon among all of you and who we need to catch first.
The first one probably will be here - Floo, Flow, Yadra.
Because I don't see strong willing to hang Jim or Fairy first among my townies.
Other positions of the players:
Kinky is scumreading Flow and Floo.
Ydra is scumreading Flow, Kinky and maybe Floo.
Jim is scumreading Ydra.
Flow is scumreading Ydra.
Floo is slowreading...
Fairy is not scumreading anybody. Ydra for her is "votey-baity" is it good or bad opinion for Ydra? Help me to translate.

I think Floo is a good option for the first execution.
I still find these thought processes hard to fake, the reread on FT, and the ability to keep track of where everyone suspects. It's clear that Vasex has previous mafia experience but the level of certainty he has right now feels more like power town than power scum even if he makes me nervous when he starts openly talking about cop checks (?) seems weird to me

I guess it's a reasonable inference that we're not in B given no one claimed a friendly neighbor reception, actually, but I'm not sure why we're talking about cop checks and not trackers, JKs, etc.?

I've also been trying to understand Vasex's POV on Jim so if I look through this (2-page) iso again it's probably going to be for specific interactions because I think I'm strongly inclined to townread him for tone/approach

And talking about cop's check that's usual discussion for me, it doesn't tell anything about my role or tells smth that I want people to think about me)

And talking about cgecks it helps to explain my view on thegame. Or anybody's view. After Kitty's suggestion to check me or Floo he became more scummie. It doesn't matter if the cop exist.

Cop, if you exist, check Vasex or Floo.

you're right, actually, in a way, this is kinda the scummier post? I guess the subsequent post is the galaxybrain image that Jessie is focused on but the sudden decision to push cop checks here could be distancing or wifom

Still, I'd like to see KT discuss things like Jessie/Jim, get a better sense of how he's evaluating different slots

KT's e-1 posts are a bunch of FUD is what i don't like. just feels like tossing out names and seeing what sticks. and none of the defenses i've seen of that vote actually hit my point, which is that it was an aggressive move on a miselim wagon *that was worded to try to make it seem non-aggressive*


and really i consider the post quoted in and a borderline slip.

haven't read recent posts in full, but i've read enough to say, Vasex - if you're scum here, I tip my hat to you, what a performance! I can easily believe you are genuinely trying to solve here (which wasn't the case earlier).

will catch up in full tomorrow, but will pick up a couple easy bits tonight.

I have one new thought about Kitty. If he is almost destroying himself already, it usually happens to save the partner. Maybe the partner has a better role, more important role. Or just much better player, who has more chances.
In this case HUB doesn't fit well.
Floo or BM.
Distancing, yeah, I required this word so much))

Hub fits here only if hub is stupidely defending his partner all this day...
