Quote from: SpecsFlyer17 on March 10, 2024, 10:19:19 AMNow I'd like to analyze TZP's last-minute vote change to the KitB.
Prior to his vote change, his vote was on raeko, with Toby/Specs leading the pack at 3 votes. TZP/BDS had 2 votes, so the only influential move he could've made was creating the KitB between TZP/BDS and Toby/Specs, which he did.
From a statistical standpoint (random distribution) and assuming TZP is human, I'm not sure this move makes sense. On page 1, we discussed the probabilities of a given human being paired with a wolf: 2/3 chance your partner is a human, 1/3 chance it's a wolf. So from that angle, self-preservation makes sense, and TZP should've not gambled on himself getting killed.
So, there was clearly another motivation behind his vote change. One, he could've just felt strong enough about human!Toby and human!Specs that he was willing to take a risk that wolf!BDS was his partner. That's consistent with his suspicion list, as Toby was his least-suspicious, and I was in the middle of the pack. Still, I think his suspicions regarding the possibilities above must've been very strong to cause him to change his vote.
I'm not sure it makes any sense for wolf!TZP to do what he did. The only scenario where that makes any sense would be if wolf!TZP's partner wolf existed in the Toby/Specs lover pair. That's inconsistent with his suspicion list. Furthermore, the net result is still even, as it was either wolf!Toby/wolf!Specs that died, or wolf!TZP.
Given all of that, human!TZP seems like overwhelmingly the likely option. If that is true, statistically he took down another human (2/3 chance an H-H), but it could've been wolf!BDS.
Quote from: SpecsFlyer17 on March 11, 2024, 07:10:56 AMI don't entirely hate the idea of dying this phase. I feel pretty neutral about Toby, so I'd rather see it go somewhere else.where would you see it most rather go and why? I want to see you actually put forth a position today, because the fact that you still haven't is why I'm sussing you
Quote from: SpecsFlyer17 on March 11, 2024, 07:10:56 AMHas anyone considered a THC/MSF. The fact that MSF isn't even remotely considering THC leads me to believe this may be a push for a lylo win. If they can successfully push the vote onto someone else D2, it could be game if they are wolf partners.strictly speaking it's possible, but it would be an extremely elaborate setup. given just how much THC and I have interacted this game (first the whole chunk of time where I pushed on him as my biggest wolfread, then we both hop our votes around from each others' lovers to BDS to Specs, then we fully trust each other and communicate heavily over PM), I think it'd be incredibly on the nose for us to pull this as wolves. I've been townread by BDS, TZP, and Toby, and while that's isn't everyone, I think THC has basically been universally townread. it'd be giving us a lot of credit and everyone else a lot of flak :p
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 10, 2024, 10:25:34 AMI'm going to maintain my trust in you. I have a really hard time seeing you paired with anyone as a wolf — not Specs or Toby, because you voted them at the end and contributed to the kitb; and probably not raeko, BDS, or TZP, because you seemed intent to vote them earlier. it could be a distancing play by you where you voted them but planned to change your mind before vote end, but the vote hopping (which we both did) seems moderately elaborate to devise as a wolf, and I think a wolf would be more scared of coming under fire for seeming inconsistent or throwing their vote around so much. it'd also be risky to place a temp vote on raeko or BDS if that could have been the catalyst for a wagon or an insta (and for BDS, it almost was). although if you were a wolf, maybe you would've unvoted if I hadn't done so immediately
by that same logic, one could construe my BDS unvote as indicative of me/BDS as a wolf pair, with my initial BDS vote as an attempt to distance. I wonder if anyone will try to bring this up
curious to see if Nakah tries to push on me today.
I still humanread Toby, even (especially?) after his BDS vote. if Toby's a human it makes a lot of sense to vote TZP/BDS based on probability if he read both you and me as human; if he was a wolf, I think he'd be more cautious about looking like he's jumping on a bandwagon. but maybe this is muddled by the fact that he didn't seem to have much time. I want to see him now that he says he can be more active. (it's also possible Toby's a wolf partnered with raeko or Nakah, and the fact that you and I have been widely humanread just gave him a convenient reason to go for the BDS/TZP lynch.)
I no longer feel good about Nakah. I don't feel bad about him, but right now he's right back in the pool with everyone else for me.
some more thoughts:
- if TZP was a wolf, I really only see him being paired with Specs (which I think is a pretty likely scenario!). I don't think he's paired with Toby because Toby voted BDS which ultimately got BDS/TZP lynched; if TZP/Toby were wolves, I think Toby could have voted raeko without coming under too much scrutiny. if TZP was a wolf with anyone other than Specs or Toby, I think he almost certainly would have let Specs/Toby die.
- if BDS was a wolf... idk. probably not paired with Toby or Specs because he also could have just joined the raeko train. possibly paired with raeko? Nakah seems to think so. or possibly paired with Nakah, and his initial Nakah push could have been a distancing ploy. I don't have great evidence for or against raeko/BDS or BDS/Nakah, other than that BDS didn't seem all that concerned about his survival at the end of the round there (if he was a wolf, he might've tried to convince you/me earlier to switch to Specs)
- if raeko's a wolf: raeko/BDS as aforementioned. as people have pointed out, raeko said she liked Toby's reasoning for voting Specs, even though the reasoning was not very much to go on. I don't think(?) raeko has responded to this? raeko/Specs or raeko/Toby are plausible — I suggested to raeko early on that I didn't want to lynch Toby/Specs because I townread Toby, and she was onboard with this. there's been basically... no visible interaction between raeko or Toby/Specs all game, which is interesting. raeko/Specs is made less plausible by the fact that Specs left his vote on raeko before dipping, and there was a reasonable chance at that time that me/raeko were in fact going to get lynch.
- if Nakah's a wolf: BDS/Nakah as mentioned. in his sus list he townchecks Specs, doesn't give a check on Toby. I find it interesting that he townreads you and wolfreads me... maybe this became more apparent at the end of the phase, but I think people (at least, TZP and Toby) have been reading us pretty similarly so far, and it's a little interesting to me that Nakah doesn't, although maybe it's because of your PMs with him. I think this hints toward Nakah/Specs, possibly Nakah/Toby, for me.
- the other thing I'm worried about is the world where raeko and Nakah are wolves. I think we've mostly established a consensus in thread that this isn't true, but... I can't help but wonder if all of the distancing that happened before was a big ploy. raeko did say she want to lynch you/Nakah, but I wonder whether they planned for raeko to do that and for Nakah to lead a charge against BDS so that you/Nakah wouldn't die, especially given that I had brought up my suspicions about the you/Nakah wagon. Nakah's "reaction test" vote on raeko also feels really out of place to me...
if raeko/Nakah were wolves, it would be weird that raeko initially suggested voting THC to me in PMs. this was early d1, and most notably, at that time most people were against the idea that we should reveal lover pairs d1. if raeko didn't think we would reveal lover pairs, sussing THC wouldn't distance herself from Nakah. (that said, she did say in the second half of d1 that she had changed her mind and was also thinking about revealing before I went ahead and did it.) maybe it was a long con by her to sus THC (but not go through with it), wait until we reveal lover pairs, and use it as a way to distance herself from Nakah.
in the end I still think raeko/Nakah is not super likely, but I still worry, because Specs/Toby seems like the "obvious" lynch for us to go for today, and if we do then raeko/Nakah get to run away with the win.
in short, my wolf pairs tier list:
highly plausible:
TZP/Specs
Nakah/Specs
pretty plausible:
raeko/Toby
Nakah/Toby
plausible:
raeko/Nakah
BDS/Nakah
BDS/raeko
raeko/Specs
not very plausible:
everything else
in general I find it really unlikely that anyone bussed their wolf partner - particularly any of BDS/TZP/Specs/Toby, because their lovers are all under suspicion too, and so bussing their wolf partner wouldn't make them that much less likely to get lynched d2.
I'm sus of Specs.
I've been thinking about if there's some sort of reaction test I want to pull today. not sure how to do it.
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 10, 2024, 10:32:30 AMlooks like Specs is starting to plant the seed of a narrative that I'm a wolf. I expect he's going to push hard for me/raeko today. this lines up with my suspicions of TZP/Specs or Nakah/Specs being the top possibilities...
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 10, 2024, 10:48:04 AMI don't know if raeko was just busy for all of yesterday evening, but I can't help but feel like if she was a wolf partnered with any of BDS/TZP/Toby/Specs, she would have made more of an effort to come in and save her partner.
other than Specs now, the only other one who's wolfread me is Nakah. given that I'm less sus of raeko now that I was yesterday, in my eyes Specs/Nakah is currently the most likely wolf pairing - if so, I think they might push this together and try to secure a d2 win.
I might vote raeko as a reaction test, and see how they respond.
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 10, 2024, 12:09:19 PMposted - to be clear, I do not actually want to lynch raeko anymore. what I have posted is a lie (Specs is my top wolfread right now) and I want to see how others respond.
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 10, 2024, 12:13:34 PMif I'm right about Specs and/or Nakah, then me sussing raeko is probably right where they want me — although it also complicates their attempts to paint me as wolfy.
Quote from: SpecsFlyer17 on March 10, 2024, 09:49:40 AMMSFs unvote (to avoid a KitB) was well received by THC. Avoiding a KitB generally appears human, but it could've been an opertunity as a wolf to gain town-creds while also getting the oppertunity to change a vote.and while I think this an okay comment and I may have gotten a little too paranoid about it (given that he also questioned Nakah and THC in said post), ultimately his response to my vote is what made me wolfread him:
Quote from: SpecsFlyer17 on March 10, 2024, 02:02:50 PMSimilar to TZP voting himself out, MSF deliberately taking himself down strikes me as human-play, assuming he sticks with it.specifically — it's extremely avoidant on making any sort of stance or claim about my vote. he spends almost all of it talking about how it reflects on my own sus (which I think is less the important issue, given that I've been highly townread by everyone other than Specs, Nakah, and to some extent raeko), and virtually none of it addressing what I said about raeko. all he says is, "MSF ran through the possibilities pretty well, and given his suspicions, I think it makes sense from his pov." from my perspective - what about yours? given that you voted raeko yesterday, I'm surprised that you have nothing else to say - not about whether you agree/disagree with any of what I said, not about whether or not you are still sus of raeko or not.
Of course, it could be a plot to instill human!MSF vibes, resulting in him not getting lynched. I personally don't think this is the case, however.
If it's genuine, its a gamble on raeko being a wolf. MSF ran through the possibilities pretty well, and given his suspicions, I think it makes sense from his pov.
Quote from: raeko on March 10, 2024, 05:03:23 PMNot IF not me. NOT me. First of all I'm not a wolf. Second of all voting to lynch yourself is against your win condition as well. so yeah not going to do that
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 09, 2024, 05:44:36 PMI think I might actually off myself
if you and Nakah aren't wolves then the pairings are:
TZP/Toby
TZP/Specs
raeko/BDS
raeko/TZP
raeko/Toby
raeko/Specs
voting Specs gets rid of 4 of these 6 pairings. but so does raeko. maybe most of all, I'm disproportionately worried of a raeko/TZP pairing where they're currently distancing each other. raeko PM'ed me previously that she thought TZP was UTR - that kind of came out of nowhere, and now I worry it was a setup by raeko and TZP. likewise TZP's vote on raeko, and now TZP reaffirms it, but only now in the position where there's not a risk of TZP's vote actually killing raeko.
if the wolves are actually Toby/Nakah or Specs/Nakah though, I might be shooting town in the foot.
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 09, 2024, 05:48:47 PMthe downside is if the wolves are actually Toby/Nakah or Specs/Nakah though, in which case I might be shooting town in the foot.(I didn't realize I sent the same thing about shooting town in the foot to THC twice oops lol)
it might be worth hanging on given that I seem pretty widely townread, and then push for raeko tomorrow. if the pair really is raeko/TZP, I think BDS will be on board. I don't know if Nakah will be on board.
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 10, 2024, 08:05:58 PMcontinuing to stand by my post, but since we may be in lylo I'm going to unvote for now to avoid the possibility of an insta in case there's a world I overlooked with two alive wolves. will be back in the morning(*two alive non-raeko wolves)
Quote from: SpecsFlyer17 on March 10, 2024, 02:02:50 PMOf course, it could be a plot to instill human!MSF vibes, resulting in him not getting lynched. I personally don't think this is the case, however.I think it's been clear for a while that if I were going to get lynched, it would probably be because of raeko, and not me. if I wanted to not get lynched, I seriously doubt this would be the way to do it
Quote from: SpecsFlyer17 on March 10, 2024, 02:02:50 PMgiven his suspicions, I think it makes sense from his pov.does it make sense from your pov?
Quote from: Toby on March 10, 2024, 03:19:36 PMI'm a bit neutral on Specs at moment, I'd like to lean human on him for giving Master praise, but it doesn't matter too much if we end up lynching Master via Raeko anywaygiven that most players thus far have read me as town, why does this make you want to lean human on Specs?
Quote from: Nakah on March 09, 2024, 02:55:44 PMSorry, we're in EDT lol....but that last post by ZeldaPianist is very suspicious, because I feel town check for THC, who is my paired lover, and I don't feel town check for Raeko/MSF.....Both of which are being a bit inactive until probably the last second as wolves do.
I'm willing to bet right now that MSF is more Town than Raeko....but I don't want to push a vote on Raeko.
I'm feeling right now that the possible wolf team may be BDS and Raeko....I'm therefore keeping my vote on BDS for now.
Quote from: SpecsFlyer17 on March 10, 2024, 09:49:40 AMPost 100, MSF claimed he didn't feel overly compelled to lynch me. What changed?once I found out you and Toby were lovers, I didn't want to lynch you then because I had a decently solid townread on Toby. given BDS/TZP vs. Toby/Specs, I would've lynched BDS/TZP if Toby was the only one of those four I townread. however, after seeing BDS and TZP both say that they'd be willing to go down with each other, I townread both of them more strongly than before. it could have been a ruse on their parts, but BDS didn't fight very hard to stay alive (he didn't communicate with me about voting Specs) (and we know now that TZP really was willing to go down with the ship). because of that, and because of Toby's hasty last minute vote (which, I think, THC rightly sussed), I felt the odds of hitting a wolf were better by lynching Toby/Specs. it was close, though, and I didn't feel too bad about the kitb because I would've been fine to take the outcome either way.
Quote from: raeko on March 09, 2024, 10:53:53 AMIs there a reason to go after the partner instead of the wolf?
I just voted for Nakah because I'm not going to be around much today and I needed to get a vote out.
I could see TZP being UTR as well and would be willing to vote there. They gave a lot of reads but little reasoning
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 09, 2024, 11:15:06 AMah I meant that I felt like I was going for the partners out of necessity because I didn't have good reads on the other players themselves, and was just trying to go for the most sus among Toby/THC/Specs while hoping to maybe catch a wolf partner as collateral damage
I have a slight townread on TZP but I see where you're coming from. I worry about BDS.
if we lynch THC/Nakah today, there's a chance I consider voting ourselves tomorrow, depending on how the dynamics go. I'm worried about the world where you're a wolf
Quote from: raeko on March 09, 2024, 11:24:25 AMI'm not going to consider voting you until we are final 4. Even if you are a wolf I just don't think it's worth rushing it(Nakah comes in and becomes active)
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 09, 2024, 03:37:50 PMwhat do you think of Nakah's most recent posts?(no response from raeko as of yet)
you mentioned you thought TZP might be UTR — are you willing to push for a BDS/TZP vote before phase end? it seems like a more tractable vote than THC/Nakah, I'm still not sure whether I want to lynch THC, and I think wolf!BDS or wolf!TZP will be more dangerous on day 2 than wolf!THC or wolf!Nakah given how distanced BDS/TZP have been from the meat of the action this round.
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 09, 2024, 05:18:34 PMwho do you think the most likely wolf pairings are?
Quote from: ThatHiddenCharacter on March 09, 2024, 05:32:10 PMI could see it being either Toby with raeko or TZP or Specs with raeko or TZP. As of now, I think I'm more inclined for Toby/raeko. To list them in order:
Toby/raeko
Toby/TZP
Specs/raeko
Specs/TZP
Clearly, out of the four of them, Toby and raeko are my top individual contenders for wolves, as well.
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 09, 2024, 05:34:16 PMthanks. I just reached the same conclusion, with the added possibility of raeko/BDS (what Nakah suspects). the possibility of raeko/BDS bothers me because raeko said earlier today she would be willing to vote TZP out, but hasn't responded since then after the pairings have come out and I asked her to help push a charge against TZP/BDS. she hasn't responded to anything nat all so I don't know what she's doing. I'm sus of her.
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 09, 2024, 05:38:07 PMI'm worried that raeko/TZP could also be a pair and they're distancing. I'm lowkey tempted to off myself to kill raeko
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 09, 2024, 05:44:36 PMI think I might actually off myself
if you and Nakah aren't wolves then the pairings are:
TZP/Toby
TZP/Specs
raeko/BDS
raeko/TZP
raeko/Toby
raeko/Specs
voting Specs gets rid of 4 of these 6 pairings. but so does raeko.
Quote from: ThatHiddenCharacter on March 09, 2024, 05:44:21 PMThat is certainly a possibility. I will say, though, that is Toby/Specs is lynched this phase, raeko is likely to get my vote next phase, so it might still be worth sticking with Toby/Specs for now.
Currently, you and Nakah are the only ones I feel comfortable about. You in particular, your recent plays scream town, I feel very confident in you at this point.
Quote from: mastersuperfan on March 09, 2024, 05:48:47 PMit might be worth hanging on given that I seem pretty widely townread, and then push for raeko tomorrow.
Quote from: BlackDragonSlayer on March 09, 2024, 04:38:23 PMOut of curiosity, why do you feel that about me/TZP but not Specs/Toby, who it seems to me (and least upon first glance) have been significantly less involved in the "main action" of this phase?at this point, I don't think I do anymore. Toby and Specs were a hotter topic near the beginning of the round, but not as much since and they haven't popped in as much at this point.
Quote from: BlackDragonSlayer on March 09, 2024, 04:38:23 PMWasn't I the first person to (at least, publicly) direct suspicion toward THC, though? As well as pointing out the seeming Raeko/Nakah mindmeld (and pointing suspicion toward Nakah)?fair on the THC point, I do think that was warranted. I kind of think the raeko/Nakah mindmeld was kind of a trivial thing to fixate on, I have a pretty hard time believing it was a genuine wolfslip and not a coincidence. but it's probably happened before
Quote from: ThatHiddenCharacter on March 09, 2024, 04:57:33 PMOk, someone's gonna have to change their vote, cause a three way KitB is not a good outcome. We need to have control over this situation.
