Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
"Interesting" is not a scum tell on its own per se but it is depending of the moment it is posted and how.
Saying something is interesting without saying why implies TMI.

Scum
Voss
PQR
Maybe is cum
Lag
I don't lag his focus on mechanical play specially the subject of claiming roles during Day 1.
My concern with my own scum lean on Lag is that I know he is a competent player and fishing for roles on day 1 is just newbie scum play, which he is not.

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
Both Oliver and Lag voiced approval for claiming PRs though. Oliver first, then Lag. I don't know what to make of that. Can they be both town mindmelding? and wrongly so? Or could Lag be providing false positive support for Oliver?

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
I'm getting strange scum vibes from PQR this game. Something is off about his tone, he is usually very confident but he seems more confident than usual.

Also games you've not been in, but other players in this game were in (or hosted) like the Anime World 2 game Guillo hosted and Gikkle was in where I spent most of the start of day 1 appraising slots based on how "chill" I deemed them to be, lol

I voiced support for it because I think it's optimal play.
For several reasons:
- Power roles should be claimed before we're close to LYLO, because otherwise we risk running into a scenario where 1 day to LYLO is actually LYLO because scum have vote manipulation power roles.
- None of the powers other than medic are actually pro-town, just pro-that-slot, so a mass-claim doesn't cause us to lose anything like a cop
- The power roles actually are alignment indicative, because the setup is hand-picked, we can infer information about the scum equity of slots based on what role scum flipped scum have
Notably, if it gets to be too late in the game before the claim, then we run into a scenario where scum power roles just claim vanilla and we don't have time to chop through all possible liars (kind of like red check claims in LYLO)

Hard disagree with this, there are lots of AI interactions that occur during RVS.

Would you describe a player that rated every player in the range of 35%-60% town as someone that is "more confident than usual"?
Voss being the one exception who is at 75%

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
Ok, welcome to the great chinese text-wall of Pao zedong. I wrote it after post #107. Its mainly based on thoughts i had while rereading.
first at all: happy birthday PQR! I suggest amnesty for today, i dont see him yet to be lynched d1. I dont see enough reasons for him to be lynched, i dont see any reasons at all. (yet).
mass claiming has yet to be fully thougth thru.
considering claims: guillo claimed medic.
IS ANYONE COUNTER-CLAIMING MEDIC???
to: lags#42. I never claimed rvs was over. Just my vote on you wasnt rvs.
btw: it looks like many, e.g. MM and lag, suffered under the influence of paopan. However there is a victim: frinckles. He left the path of rationality and fully dived into the parallel reality of baby shark, king shark, and soviet union pizzas.

I really liked all your posts before that one. Lag focusing on mechanical play is very much in his meta, at least his town meta from the few games i've had/seen. I dont see you ignoring this either, so why would you not like it, still ?

1) What use are to town PRs that dont know how to use their powers for town's good, aka Attorney, Judge, Governor ? All these roles have powers that can hurt town REALLY BAD if misused, AND are extremely powerful for scum !
2) Please explain why/how the setup punishes massclaim. I see little to no downsides.

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
After reading their ISO, it feels like PQR has already contributed more to town than in the last Town in the West game, so he gets a solid completely neutral read from me.
-
Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
Seriously tho, if anyone finds any reason why Judge, Governor & Attorney should NOT claim, please let me know. It really feels like these roles are citizens if Town.
OH also, if paopan has a vote tomorrow, judge is dead.

there's no benefit. the downside is that we don't let these slots do night actions without the pressure of the town, so we can't judge their justifications for said actions later.

It would be pretty naive to use their abilities in that way, since it's more a matter of "when the massclaim happens" rather than "if the massclaim happens"
But again, I don't think it's necessary to do a massclaim day 1, day 2 massclaim is just as good, probably better

I'm not sure how this is information disadvantage, and i'd never advocate for something that I believe is anti-town.
Like, my other assumption here is that it's not advantageous for town to do a D1 mass role claim. This is because we don't want scum killing the better TPRs, and would rather wait a few days for TPRs to out and justify their night actions. Right?
I actually somehow completely missed the fact that the congress chat is anonymous. Your thoughts make a lot more sense to me now.

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
My reasonings are not great, but there's only like 3 pages here and i'm more interested in getting a reads list so people can interact with it than keeping it to myself
** KEEP ALIVE **
Voss - Putting yourself in your own reads list is a town tell 100%
Guillo - the early scum read is super hot
MM - coaching PAO makes him scum with him, or top town
Oliverz - because of early lag meta read
Ren - Not sure where to place him, but, like stealth, will get a better read later.
PQRNhack - didn’t like pao’s opening, just like I didn’t
Loldebite - paying attention to Guillo, posts don’t seem scum motivated
Stealth - engaged with me. I suspect I’ll get a better read as day goes on
Lag- did not like opening, but did not suck
Gikkle - don’t remember much of him
Frinkles - opening sucked, though the low placement here is hopefully more of a prod
Paopan - opening sucked, and slot continues to suck
** VOTE **
(note, that there can be subtle differences to someone I deem scummy, and someone I want to eliminate, or deeming towny vs keeping them around)

If it happens to be a bad time and no one is able to replace into your slot within approximately 1.5 cycles (ex: current-night>day>night OR current-day>night>day), then your slot will be mod-killed and no one is responsible for that but you.

I struggle to comprehend what you were intending with this post, both because it's weirdly formatted and also because it's just very strange.
I'm gathering that you view PQ as null and are not comfortable with lynching them?
Discussing Guillo's medic claim at this point is anti-town and if he is NOT medic I actually would call the medic to not CC because I have Guillo as a lock townread right now.
What are you even talking about here?

if MM is scum for agreeing with people why is Voss town lean for you?

I intentionally avoided stating specifics, because I want everyone else to think for themselves. I am not Audible, so why don't you go do your own reading and come back and tell me what I found "interesting"? :)

Funny, I just posted at around the same time replying to your other post. Because Paopan is always like that. Is Frinckles like that? Not from my recollection, or it would have stuck in my memory. All caps non-sense. Unless this is Frinckles D1 specifically. I remember Frinckles being thoughtful and mechanical in past games (forget the name of the game, but one we he and i and others won together when I was slightly fearful Frinckles made a big brain play as scum to appear super towny). So far in this game, Frinckles is Null and Void. Is that only because it's D1? I don't know, I can't memorize all players' metas by day.

I think it's too early to tell, honestly. His posts so far I think could come from both T!Paopan and S!Paopan. In 333 (scum) and 334 (town), early on, he was pretty unhelpful in both games.
