From the very start of the game,
whiskey delta
was very active. I can tell that he's experienced in playing mafia and I have reasons to believe that he's the one behind the wheel for the entire game.
Looking through his ISO, I can see that his interactions with both
hutmeil
and
Tidus of the X
were kinda murky.
In post 191, whiskey delta wrote:hutmeil is admittedly my leap of faith read in this situation. I am more convinced by what others have said than anything hutmeil has done in particular, but again if Roden turns up red then I would take them off the table as well.
Tidus hasn't said much which looks ~bad but at the same time I feel like scum would try harder to look productive. 148 isn't much but might be a >Townie reaction.
Both of these really don't give that much information.
Post
255 is
whiskey delta
's first meaningful interaction with
Tidus of the X
. The response in
257 is kinda town-ish though.
In post 257, Tidus of the X wrote:Actually, now that you say that, it doesn't make sense to scan greeting when everyone is saying he looks town, it would nonly confirm him even more as town. I remember reading somewhere that it's a better idea to scan null reads because you have absolutely no idea which alignment it could be, so that's something against his claims.
There still is, however, a chance he could be cop, there are currently no counterclaims after all
Sorry, no, I don't have an alternative. Currently not very good at reading alignments other than the obvious stuff
My opinion is that it was a good choice to get a green check on me early in the game, but unfortunately we could not get that due to that horrible Day 1 wagon. But this is something that fits what a newbie townie would say. Newbie townies in general are more likely to go after the "obvious" solutions such as assuming that it's best to get all the scum reads check out. Truth is, even the loudest players in the game involved in scumhunting can keep flying under the radar for the entire game (aka
whiskey delta
).
There is, however, something worrying about the pairing of
whiskey delta
/
Tidus of the X
. There has been an attempt at an interaction in
505, and
Tidus
' responses to that interaction have been kinda underwhelming. I cannot, however, make anything AI of
Tidus
' responses in
508 and
516. I hate to say this, but these responses weren't good at all, but more importantly, they were consistent with his overall performance in the game so far. Which, to me, makes the
WD
/
Tidus
pairing far less likely.
hutmeil
- follow-up.
Please note that for the duration of all of Day 1 and Day 2 there was virtually no interaction between
whiskey delta
and
hutmeil
. To me this looks like both of them were distancing from one another so that we could not find any connection between them. It does make sense and is a pretty valid strategy as scum.
I also have a read on
hutmeil
's part which seems to be proving this theory. In
260, I noted his nullread of me as caused by me asking supposedly too much questions, while he didn't seem to notice the same thing about
whiskey delta
. And here's the read on
whiskey delta
:
In post 260, hutmeil wrote:
whiskey delta
I like how he generates discussion. But something is off and I can't put my finger on it.
What was I doing asking questions if not generating discussion? And what was
whiskey delta
doing that supposedly worried him? Does not make sense. Looks like a slip.
Late on in Day 1, operation to put the blame on me for
furtive glance
's miselimination started to take place. In spite of the fact that he jumped on the wagon himself. In
491 and
496, attempts and hopes were made to get me to take the bullet. It wasn't enough, so the plan was to back off and go after
Malakittens
instead.
Looking back,
561 was quite clever. At the time it made me get a soft townread of
whiskey
's slot. Maybe if he were bolder with pursuing this, he would have even convinced me to after
Mala
. Still, the way the gamestate is, I see this post as laying grounds for a
Malakittens
elimination Day 3.
Mala
and
whiskey delta
are definitely not both town-aligned, and neither is
Mala
and
hutmeil
and this is another reason for
whiskey delta
to be our elimination for today.
Now, going back to
191, me and
Malakittens
are both listed as townreads. Which makes sense from a scum point of view. Going after obvious town is a known scum tell around here and I would expect
whiskey delta
to know that. In my experience, it's almost always inexperienced townies who do this. This would also explain why I am still not dead as of now. My vote history is bad and in his eyes, it was probably easy to use it to miseliminate me when there is nothing else. And this is our last chance at getting it right, which gets the pressure going.
Another thing, who brought up the voting history right now? His partner,
hutmeil
, in
692. And, as I pointed out in
699, this was a double-edged sword, because
hutmeil
's voting record looks less bad only on paper.
