Can I have your thoughts on Flower while you're here?

i dont think miller is cultable

vig wasnt. all strong roles probably arent. poyser wont give scum free win by them lucking a recruit on vig or cop or miller, i firmly believe in this until proven otherwise

the vaccine is an exception cuz i think its legit a strong fake claim and only the vig miller and cop arent cultable

Culting Miller doesn't really upset game balance, culting vig would due to giving evils multiple KP. I don't love this logic
FTR, the reason why I think she's a conversion mechanic is becuase her progression really sucks today

Rugrat is literally the embodiment of the "refuses to elaborate further, leaves" meme this game.

Vote Rugrat.

Contribute, my guy.

Same as every game then, why should we care this time?

 

[EkkoLoJinx]

Theirs a thin line between "generous" and "objectively insane to give" and I think that this falls in the latter category lol

your town read on sparkle was far worst by that metric lol. i just know aurelian more and know how shit hes capable of playing and still turning out town. i think the way hes drip feeding his claim is also more townie than not

 

[Luka]

I didn’t have time to reread the game tho. I‘ll just work like the converts aren’t a thing and continue like yesterday.

Actually Rugrat is probably the convert if he isn’t scum lmao. A DV is a great choice.

Very wolfy / werid progression

Idc. If you wanna mislynch me, go ahead kek. I rather die a Townie than get converted anyhow.

This is just like, wolfy as hell LMFAO. Flower is very outspoken about wanting to be converted, I just cannot see a thought process for this from a town

 

[Hans Tweetenberg]

I think that this is probably a real perspective from Tweet given Sparkles didn't claim conversion immune. I'm sure it doesn't mean like, all to much but >rand v

You're right I'm town

Now go and recruit me already you silly fucks

 

[Luka]

Yeah, I admitted it was a gut read. I also didn't actually push people away from it, if it was a strong read I would have stuck to it. I understand that Aurelion has town equity, but I don't think that him having town equity is a reason to TR me. I also have town equity fypov by a similar metric.

That aside, this is just arguing on something that's not relevant so let's switch it to something actually relevant, aside from your weak town lean on a slot that doesn't deserve it. Thoughts on Melkor?

nobody loves cults. if posyer made the strong town roles cultable game can be lost and nobody will have fun, im sure posyer took extra measures to balance a cult game out such that they dont luck out and recruit cop n1 and basically just win from there on out for instance

maybe the miller isnt as strong, i'll give u that. this the extent of it tho. still feel like it'll be pretty unfun for town to have to speculate a culted miller

I love it. Time to betray Town .

I relate to this. Been scum so often this year it's insane.

Still would betray Town in a heartbeat anyhow.

This is setup spec that's nearly impossible to confirm and I really dont want to lose a game on this basis. That aside, I disagree about it being unfun given that's the entire point of the game (anybody can be evil). Also, Flower literally said that she loves cults and wants to be converted in signup thread lol

 

[Hans Tweetenberg]

There's a massive problem with this game I just realized

See usually you'd assume townies make sense and then quit making sense once they get converted so perhaps you catch em off of that

All that goes out the window when you're dealing with a number of people tho who routinely have batshit insane takes as regular town

Halp

I hope this isn't talking about me
(Also a really towny post to make btw, just dont see it coming to the mind of a wolf)

u wudnt need to push ppl away from it if u know shes town, just good guy it and let it die. whose TR'ing you? aurelian?

for melkor - scummy popins day 1, need to be pressured, why u pick him out of the others in the same catagory

Nah fwiw I think you're pretty obvtown so far so that's something I can work with

It's not even necessarily applicable to the game so far but it's just a major roadblock I noticed when I started thinking about how to actually identify recruited players

flower can confirm it by claiming but that sort of defeats whole purpose. i think if anything she shuda lied about it in day 1 and said she is unrecruitable even if she is, that way scum is more reluctant to waste a recruit on a miller

wats ur read of me rn luka?

me -> him*. That was a typo
The only other people I don't think have town equity:
1. Flower
5. Ekko
13. hime
14. Lord Melkor
16. Saber
(+ Aurelian)

I'm not pushing you today, regardless of my read on you I think that's probably a bad idea just due to activity levels. Saber you TRd + After looking at a meta dive I kinda town leaned them as well.
Aurelian / Hime / Melkor, you trd Aurelian and I didn't really remember much from Melkor, contrary to Hime who I remembered at the very least they were slightly lax D1. It was largely just a random pick though, can't really say much thought was added onto it

 

[Luka]

wats ur read of me rn luka?

I think I like your D2 better than your D1 which largely just consisted of pushing Yoho, but probably null (I have zero confidence on my read of you pretty much, and I think that you're a good enough scum player to not have left scum range yet)

I'd expect anyone to be recruitable but they may lose their role based on what it is

Sparkles wasn't recruitable, it's probably safe to assume 1-2 more townies are unrecruitable
(Also mentioned in OP that non-recruitable towns exist)

@Tempest
Any thoughts for today? Aside from your angle on me ofc
