Since you don't have reservations on Heury, would you mind disclosing your night action before him?I have reservations on both Laser and DB.
How are you more town than me?^ I’m happy to day my night actions but feel I’m the most town so should go last.
I once played a game where the mafia partner has a chance to safely save their partner without being suspect and chose not to do it, and because of that one decision won the entire game. I don't think it's that insane. You were not busting tattertot from the start. I'd argue that laserguy and deadbanana as mafia would have been busier than you were d1.I stopped Laser being lynched and went for Tatter. I was the only active player there to swing it where I could very reasonably have sheeped two confirmed towns with loud personalities. It would have been an insane bus.
You are suggesting I went from town reading him and defending him to hardcore bus in a 2v7 game day 1 when I didn’t need to?I once played a game where the mafia partner has a chance to safely save their partner without being suspect and chose not to do it, and because of that one decision won the entire game. I don't think it's that insane. You were not busting tattertot from the start. I'd argue that laserguy and deadbanana as mafia would have been busier than you were d1.
LaserGuy said:ranmaru , do you know Swiss? What can you tell me about their playstyle?
Ryker plays a very chaotic style of play. He likes to make bold, crazy plays regardless of alignment. Similar to Xivii/Zen if you're more familiar with that. This read was not disputed by Swiss except for him to say that he taught Ryker. Swiss is more than capable of executing a planned bus like this.Ranmaru said:I do, I have played with him long ago. He is a strong player, and I expect him to do long posts with +s and -s. He can be forceful as well. I think if you guys know of Ryker, he is simply British Ryker. My confidence level in reading him is low though.
Bessie has typed a lot but said very little. Feels like she’s playing too safe.
These fairly nothing posts. Tatter is in thread at this point, but does not give a like to anything else, anywhere. His only posts before EoD were two essentially naked votes. This a really weird interaction.^Says he won’t give in depth reasoning - gives in depth reasoning.
The towniness hurts my eyes
-Fake vig claim is a dubious play coming from Town non-vig. His behaviour is consistent with Scum trying to draw out the vig.
Depends on why scum are killing who they’re killingI just feel Laserguy benefits the least from a Bessie kill, since from my perspective before, and from what I can tell reading the thread on day 2 others perspectives as well, he was perceived as the least solidly cleared on the Tatterot wagon. So killing Bessie would put him in more danger, where as Swiss or Heury would benefit since they were more perceived more solidly clear from the flip
Also interesting to note it was laserguy himself that called me ‘locktown’ yesterday.I lovingly await your case on swiss. I still am suspicious of swiss due to two reasons: the claim of being town core and everyone having him as town just isn't true. And the never explaining themself as to why they claimed vig.
I'd love to hear any cases anyone has, them tomorrow do a thorough re read of the remaining living players (assuming I'm alive to do so)
I've played one game about a year ago with Laserguy where there were 16 people so we barely interacted and he was killed night 1. I know a bit more about him from my friend Malakandra who played scum with him.Also how well do each of you know each other and more exactly how experienced is each of you?
The short answer is sabrar knew I wasn’t vig because I told him so - so the entire case falls flat.I'll await your defense eagerly Swiss.
I need to digest your case for a bit Laser. It definitely raises some good points that I didn't think about, like the Sabrar vig bus, and does hit on what I mentioned in the post right before about ballsy play.
I remember the post where you told him you overestimated him if he thought you were serious about vig.The short answer is sabrar knew I wasn’t vig because I told him so - so the entire case falls flat.
I’ll quote tomorrow as going to sleep but it’s in one of my long daily posts
this should be #264 for others reading#284: Tatter gets obvTown; gives me bonus points for reading Tatter as Town, tries to push Ran away from Tatter. Tatter is 2nd strongest townread here.
Covered both of these now.I lovingly await your case on swiss. I still am suspicious of swiss due to two reasons: the claim of being town core and everyone having him as town just isn't true. And the never explaining themself as to why they claimed vig.
I treat you as town, not a contest but obviously in my own world I happen to know I'm town. Plus the Tatter swing was massive. Changed the game and I won't shy away from lauding myself.How are you more town than me?
Exactly, I wasn't sussing tattertot from the beginning - so it's an insane swing of opinion to make last minute which went against my prior reads. I put my neck on the line for that read. Had he been town people would now be saying "wow swiss i cant believe you swapped your read conveniently at the last minute so you could vote off a townie" and sussing me. If you don't give me kudos for being correct you are structuring me into a lose/lose. Which shows you are not approaching the game from the right angle. That's on you not on me.I once played a game where the mafia partner has a chance to safely save their partner without being suspect and chose not to do it, and because of that one decision won the entire game. I don't think it's that insane. You were not busting tattertot from the start. I'd argue that laserguy and deadbanana as mafia would have been busier than you were d1.
I think Heury is current;y town, rip if I'm wrong. I think if you're scum the game is probably over and well played. Had my reservations but, well, it is what it is. I'll be doign a full re-read so subject to change. The night kills have all been on unexpected people, which means that the scum believes they are being townread - so remoevs Heury from the suspect list fown to Laser, DB and of course me.Personally, Laserguy is my top town right now. I haven't looked through all his content yet, but I think the Bessie kill makes the least sense coming form him. He was defending her yesterday, so I would think Bessie and him would vote together especially since Bessie had Laser pretty high in terms of reads from what I recall. He also would have the Tattertot connection Ran brought up hanging over him, so scum!laserguy would be less inclined to think killing Bessie would generate an easy yeet on me. His vote on Tattertot was also at a pretty critical moment, and Laserguy definitely had an easy out for not casting that vote, since he had established he didn't like voting out new players earlier, and from what I can tell, has a history that agrees with that.
Heury and Swiss is a close one for me. Heury started out with that hedge post on Tattertot I have brought up before, but since he actually went and voted Tattertot later, when he could have said Tattertot was playing more like his town games now that he'd observed him more since Heury had the only meta on him, it brought my Heury read up. But Swiss also head down the yeet onto Tatter like he said, even though he started out by defending Tattertot. I specifically remember Swiss bringing up Tattertot crumbing town with the cat pfp as something super innocent and townie, and saying no one would coach that, besides Swiss himself. Swiss would have to be a really ballsy player to say that while having actually done it.
Why was Sabrar going to shoot me? After he realised I wasn't really claiming vig he seemed to have no issue with me, never voted me and was pushing other votes.As promised:
Why Swiss is Mafia
I want to start with the single most important set of interactions in the game, the interaction that I think most conclusively demonstrates that Swiss is mafia. Not Swiss/Tatter (though I'll get to that), but rather Swiss/Sabrar.
Here's the important points.
Swiss softed vig early in the game. The only person who this seemed to bother at all was Sabrar. Everyone else either ignored it or maybe thought it was kind of LAMIST, but did not read much into it, whereas Sabrar clearly took it quite strongly. He was signalling that he himself was the vig, and Swiss picked up on this. I think there's an interesting shift in Swiss' tone on Sabrar somewhere around post 114. Early in their argument, Swiss is quite dismissive of Sabrar, but over the course of 114-195, Sabrar gets moved up from strong scumread to moderate Townlean. Sabrar, on the other hand, is as relentless as he has ever been, hammering his case on #350. The details of this case are actually not super important, though I think Sabrar makes a number of good points here that are worth revisiting. What is most important is that Sabrar is committed. Sabrar implies in posts such as #386 that Swiss will "resolve himself" by D2. I think the very strong implication here is that Sabrar is the vig and is going to shoot Swiss. At least the first point was apparently correct.
So here's the question, what is the play as mafia in this situation? You need to deflect Sabrar somehow. Mafia has no defense against the vig unless they randed a doc. At #523, Tatter is at 3 votes and there's very little time left. If Swiss is scum and tries to defend Tatter, but he gets yeeted anyway AND Sabrar takes the shot, game is over. How do you make the save as mafia? You have to bus, and bus hard. Here comes #524 where Swiss jumps on Tatter. But then I come up as a counterwagon. Swiss could move to me, but if he does, I get yeeted, but then Sabrar is probably going to be locked on his Ran/Swiss mafia idea and continue with his plan to shoot Swiss. So Swiss can't give up the bus and has to push through. With only 5 minutes left there may not be time to save Tatter anyway, and it's dangerous to try. So Swiss sacrifices his weaker partner and earns enough townie credit for Sabrar to be uncomfortable shooting him and going for Ran instead. And, finally and most importantly, Sabrar is then NKed. Who has the most to gain from this transaction? Swiss. Sabrar likely would have hounded him for the rest of the game. Who else would consider him a threat? Sabrar was not worried about DB or Heury. His EOD push on me was not well-motivated, only that he preferred me to Tattertot. Sabrar wanted Swiss. So Swiss sacrifices Tattertot to keep himself in the game.:
No no no, you don't get to rephrase that. My #68 is a townread on his reasoning for wanting to crumb town with a cat pic. Absolutely nothing to do with that ongoing charade of cats and dogs which I assumed started prior, with you lost mostly knowing each other.Now let's turn to the interactions between Swiss and Tattertot.
First is this exchange:
#63: Tattertot claims he changed his avatar to a cat to look townie.
#67: Swiss says he doesn't understand the cat/dog thing.
#68: Swiss claims Tattertot is Town without explanation.
#71: Tattertot claims he is suspicious of Sabrar for "no good reason yet, just looking for one", immediately after Swiss suspects him.
#76: Tattertot doesn't think Swiss is mafia.
#81: Ran questions Swiss about why Tatter is Town.
#87: Swiss defends Tatter based on the cat avatar thing.
Swiss' reasoning here doesn't follow. In #67, he doesn't understand the cat/dog exchange. Therefore, his reason for townreading Tattertot couldn't be based on that in #68. It's only retrospectively that he has to come up with the reasoning for this. Ran was right all along about this. On the other side of things, Tatter suspects Sabrar for admittedly no good reason (#71), immediately following Swiss' #68. Tatter never returns to this scumread of Sabrar and ignores questions asked about it. There is an exchange later between Swiss and Tatter about his Sabrar read in #147-148 that comes across as super buddy-buddy. Swiss is not really interested in Tatter's motivations, he just wants to have it on record that he commented on it.
This is outright lie and you know it.However, there is an abrupt shift at #472 just after Sabrar and I are discussing sealing the Tatter yeet, where Swiss suddenly shifts from a very strong townread to a very strong scumread on Tatter.
Despite this Swiss continues to try to push votes away from Tatter, e.g. in #502 he questions Heury's vote there.
Swiss finally commits to the bus in #524 when it is fairly clear that Tatter cannot be saved.
Man saying someone will do a ballsy play just means you can then later accuse them of ****ing anything no matter how unbelievable. That's not a case.I'll await your defense eagerly Swiss.
I need to digest your case for a bit Laser. It definitely raises some good points that I didn't think about, like the Sabrar vig bus, and does hit on what I mentioned in the post right before about ballsy play.
In short, no vig would counter claim that. I used it as a gambit as per all my meta, go and check.-Fake vig claim is a dubious play coming from non-Town vig. His behaviour is consistent with Scum trying to draw out the vig.
-When Sabrar confronts him, he tries to discredit Sabrar rather than engaging him.
-He makes several comments (e.g. #158) that seem like they are trying to fake towntells and are not the kinds of things an experienced player would need to ask.
Besides what I hit on about his position on Bessie and the analysis of the Bessie nk.Can you talk more about your Laser townread, specifically not D1 as I also townread him.
