On a unrelated note, what the hell happened to the activity level all of a sudden? I think we've posted more the last hour than the day before it.

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
Valmark is null, I guess, sorry. I don't vehemently disagree with any of his opinions, but I also don't think he's done anything wolf!him can't fake. Yes, I am aware that's unhelpful.
I... think this high-thread-presence, rapid-read-movement stuff is towny for bladescape but paranoia so I'm not actually going to townread him for it.
Going to make a vote count, then work on getting a Rogan read.I'm writing stuff, come and read it!

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
Since I don't seem to get a lot of support on Elenna, I might as well switch to Rogan. With some luck, his flip might shed a little light on Elenna (and BW) too.

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
Okay, having skimmed through the explosion of posts that just occurred, for the moment I'm going to switch my vote to Rogan, so that we at least have a tie between them and AvatarVecna to keep us from only having one real wagon on Day 1. The whole questioning of "3 wolves/4wolves" from Rogan about Book Wombat is somewhat strange (as several people have already pointed out); it may just be paranoia from town, but its the most off-sounding note in the conversation so far, so it's a place to start.

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
I don't think it's a stretch to say that if either flips Roman we should look at the other after this exchange. Somewhat smells like faking an argument.
Goddammit I keep reading 'gac' instead of 'GA'.
Meter is? That stuff about the lenght of sentences in poetry?
I thought it was because of the seemingly obvious mech error, but I'm guessing Rogan is assuming BW knows the size of the Roman group and let it slip despite his question implying a four Roman team already.
Also, now that I thought about it, I should specify it here.
The only team one can assume from your question is a 4 Roman team unless you think Neptune children change parents after using their power. The Greek power thrown in the middle is certainly weird, but one would need to be incapable of doing 3+1 to not think about a four Roman team from your question. Doesn't help that there could very well be a four roman team.
Pretty much my thoughts, though I wouldn't call it disingenous. As the one who actually made the question, Rogan might have genuely not realized he was implying a four people team.
Now, that doesn't mean we should discard the tunneling that seems to have followed. Especially because tunneling on another player can be an effective wolf strategy.
A bit. As soon as Snow is done with that read list I saw her mention I might vote Rogan if it looks like my vote would do something good.
I've been learning so many new words this game.

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
Note to self: if bladescape dies N1, kill AV D2... wait, hang on, I'm already killing AV day one.
I'm kind of toying with a Rogan wolfread but I don't want to commit to it because I'll be mad at myself if I'm wrong.
Points of concern:
- that thing bladescape said about his BW TMI read
- trying to get the game moving but at the same time voting for someone who isn't playing
- the thing I mentioned earlier feels... unnecessary, I guess? Hard to explain
- I think bladescape has decent accuracy at reading Rogan
- I'm mildly paranoid that his earlier "getting the game moving so Snow doesn't have to" is an attempt to pocket me.I'm writing stuff, come and read it!

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
Well, I thought the wolf could pick powers, not parents. Books team did assign different Neptune powers to his team, so he assumed this as well.
In light of the clarification about Neptune's power, it's a wrong assumption, but this doesn't change my point.
See below. There are no strong cases, so I assumed someone would jump at the chance to go for a meme. Or maybe someone getting obsessed with my questions.
AV used Fool as the color for her self vote. In the Discord, I said that someone might hide a claim there.
I had the vague memory about someone (Libro/GA) calling some power (The parent scry) a spin of the Fool in the first PJ mafia.
A bathtub curve is like this: \____/
A high value on one end, a high value on the other end, a flat value in-between.
For example, a car. It has a high probability of problems immediately after repairs (missed a screw, changed a setting, whatever) a lie probability in the middle, and a high probability again a long time after inspection (general aging, rust, ...)
Real role or real alignment? Cause number one doesn't seem like a big problem, while number 2... well, it doesn't happen that often and when it does, it's pretty likely to get the wolf killed.
There is a passive wolf power for every parent and two active general powers. Town will only get one active, wolves will get one active and the passive. At least, that's my understanding.
At first, I thought a child of Neptune could select the exact composition of his team's powers. This was a mistake, they only get to pick the parent (or rather, the passive power) but not the active power.Spoiler: I'm a seer

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
I never mentioned a reads list, I just said I'd look through Rogan, but... it does feel kind of helpful.
Townish, maybe, am paranoid and/or need to ISO: bladescape, Batcathat
Tentative townlean: Elenna
Townlean for bad-but-not-necessarily-invalid reasons: Book Wombat, Xumtiil
A millimetre above null: JeenLeen, Zelphas
Null: Valmark, AvatarVecna, Xihirli, Grand Arbiter, flat_footed, CaoimhinTheCape
Wolf, maybe?:Rogan. Voting him as much to see what it does to gamestate/how he responds to pressure as because I wolfread him. Also because he only answered one of my two questions.Last edited by Snowblaze; 2022-06-17 at 01:16 AM.

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
...hihirli? The laugh before the kill?
You're not helping me catch up to the thread for sure.
So, with the new votes added in it should be:
AvatarVecna 3: Xumtiil, Snowblaze, AvatarVecna
CaoimhinTheCape 2: Grand Arbiter, Elenna
Rogan 3: bladescape, BatCatHat, Zelphas
Zelphas 1: Book Wombat
Batcathat 2: JeenLeen, Valmark
Xumtiil 1: Xihirli
Book Wombat 1: flat_footed
Taffimai (not playing) 1: Rogan
Posted without voting: CaoimhinTheCape (have fun trying to catch up!)
Knowing this, I'mma shake things up by seeing what happens withCaoimhinTheCapeforming a three-way fight. I will be awake and not busy come EoD, so I can always jump in to change things.
Unless asked, I'd like to refrain right now from expressing thoughts on who I want to see lynched. That might change how the three wagons are seen, knowing wether those on them plan to stick around or change (for example, if I wanted to get Rogan lynched then nobody would worry for AV and Cao right now).
- - - Updated - - -
Oh come on, Snow.
That makes Rogan the lead either way so... Uh... AvatarVecna for precisely the same reasons as before.Last edited by Valmark; 2022-06-16 at 10:37 AM.

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
Sorry for messing that up, Valmark. Also who do you want to see lynched? (I'm asking mainly for the memes, you don't have to answer.)
bladescape, do you have a read on me, and if so what is it? (And preferably why, but I'm being realistic about the amount of helpful answers I'm likely to get.)I'm writing stuff, come and read it!

Wait, Snow was on AV, so whoever I'm voting goes to three and the other to two.

Yeah it can stay like that. No point to keep changing it if I'm not gonna commit before EoD.

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
I was wondering, cause I thought you said BW was a slightly better case than Elenna, but didn't want to go after Book.
Correct. After all, you didn't change your vote yet. Now you did, which is fine. I feel like I've been more suspicious than Elenna, which doesn't say much about her but rather about me.
+1... I guess I should change away from mobile.
I'm afraid not. Mostly cause I don't think I'll flip just yet. That being said, I thought I saw some support for Elenna. Not in votes, but in voices.
I can promise I won't be mad at you if you wolf read me. Does this help you at making your decision?
I will vote someone else if I feel like it's going to matter. Right now, I don't think it's worth the trouble.
Also, I can totally see wolf!me trying to pocket you. Not happening this time, but I feel your concerns.
- - - Updated - - -
Sorry Snow. Drowned in the wall post on mobile. I think I answered later in a reply to Bat, but if you still feel like you need an answer, please ask again and I'll see if I can give you something satisfying.
Now, your read list... you mentioned trusting blades read on me. I think, he is suspicious of Elenna, yet you place her pretty high on your list.
Mostly curious, do you think his read on me is better than on her?
Sorry, I'm missing the context here.Spoiler: I'm a seer

Sig'd. Or rather, it's been sig'd, except for the fact that I changed the color code to a different word, since abattoir and my role happen to be the same color. OR DOES IT. It does. OR DOES IT.
I find that amusing (and amusingly, non-specific) enough that I'm comfortable claiming it, especially since I'm gonna die anyway.

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
Huh. So in my Latin class in high school, I was taught that they didn't have the letter K and that C was always a hard sound.
We can always look back at the poem for you in Love Letter.
Oh my god, I've been about to post so many times and then I have 5 new posts and new information to consider and then it happens again and again.
Reading through the thread, there isn't anyone that strikes me as an obvious Wolf but that's standard for Day 1. I'm not a fan of the AV wagon, mostly cause it feels like a given that a) AV has said they aren't super active Day 1, b) often self votes, and c) I feel like AV is popular to vote just because? (I don't actually have numbers on how often AV gets votes). The first two posts of the game immediately create that wagon and it's not unreasonable to assume that AV won't spend too much time defending themselves Day 1 and/or a self vote would show up there to boost the wagon. So possibly scum picking an "easy" target or one that at least won't be questioned too much.
I don't like that Rogan's vote is still on Taff rather than moving it to someone else, but he gets a pass for now for being so active and pushing discussion but another way to do that is move votes to pressure people.
All the other votes being split is... kinda interesting. No one seems willing to push a second wagon to rival AVAside from Elenna moving to vote me I guess.
I swear, every time I have a thought I refresh the thread and have to catch up on a bunch of new posts. My vague reads:
AvatarVecna - no reason to call them a Wolf yet and I don't love the wagon that popped up on AV so quickly and how it's been stuck as the leading wagon this whole time. I feel like Wolf!AV would have buddies to bail them out? Picking someone to vote for out of that wagon would probably be good.that most recent vote is obviously sketchy, I should vote for AV
Elenna - putting a 3rd vote on AV... the fact that it's the 3rd vote doesn't seem too bad to me, it turns out wagoning is important but as I mentioned above, all of the votes on AV left a sour taste in my mouth. Elenna moving to make a second wagon feels good to me though, rather than make yet another one vote wagon that we have so many of.
Snowblaze - apparently has exams and is catching up. No opinion right now but I don't love the 1, 2 punch of her and Xum starting the game by both voting AV.
Xumtil - someone I want to follow up on. A lot of posts that I'll analyze more later, but I have a gut feeling that I just don't trust Xum atm.
But apparently we have Rogan/BCH as possible wagons now? So my thoughts on them:
Spoiler: Batcathat
I don't like the initial focus on Elenna over the other people on the wagon, from this post:
Does this post mean that you don't think Xumtil and Snow aren't suspicious for their votes? Or just that Xum/Snow is not a wolf/wolf pair?
BCH eventually comes around to suspect Xum as well, though there's no mention of the AV vote.
Spoiler: Rogan
My instinct is always that high posters feel more townie so Rogan initially had a vaguely town read for leading the town but...
Joke vote on someone not in the game is fine initially. But it has stuck around for an uncomfortable amount of time now.
Singling out Book to ask the real question to is weird. I get that Book is hard to read but it's still calling one person out when that information could be just as useful as a general question to everyone. Picking Elenna for a random question is a choice as well... Explained below but still. Drilling down on Book's "slip" new feels like there was more behind the choice of who to ask.
Later on we get a defense of Elenna (a possibility of a Rogan/Elenna team is gonna sit in the back of my mind now)
Don't like that argument. Bat was voting one of his reads and mentions others. Rogan technically is voting someone who is not among the top posters (Taff, the person not appearing in this game) but I don't see him pushing for activity/any reads himself. Even the line of questioning on Book Wombat apparently doesn't get any sort of vote.
Later in the thread there's some role analysis but that amounts to speculating what roles are in the game rather than chasing down leads. There's an explanation of reads there, but why not actually vote any of them or push them strongly?
Overall I think I want to vote: Rogan after catching up. His play so far appears townie on the surface but after looking closer I don't like it.

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
Well that was a lot of posts all of a sudden. I only skimmed the last page or so, it's my lunch time and I'd like to actually eat lunch instead of just playing Werewolf.
(Also speaking of timezones, EOD is 7am my time so I'm going to miss the last 6-7 hours of each day (again). Y'all need to stop putting EOD in my early morning. )
As far as I recall, at the time he was the only person with any non-meme reason behind the vote (besides Bat's vote on me, which I wasn't going to join as my name is neither AV nor Xihirli.)
I'd agree with the people who said "one power for the Child of Neptune plus three other powers" is a reasonable interpretation of this question.
I don't think Rogan jumping on the initial "slip" was necessarily wolfy, a townie asking this question could very easily not have realized that it implied four total powers.
However, I do think Rogan seems to be ignoring the "he probably read it as 3+1" responses, even though he answered some people who said that. Also it's strange that he's suspicious of Book but he's still keeping his meme vote on Taffimai. Combined, that seems to me like he's a wolf trying to get a mislynch rather than a townie genuinely searching for wolves.
I counterclaim Child of Ariadne! Lynch the liar!
(probably obvious, but this is a joke)
Abattoir Vecna is good but I also miss "lynch me on principle".
Debating between voting Rogan because suspicions versus voting AV to tie up the wagons. I guess tying the wagons and watching vote movement doesn't really work as well now that I've made it clear I'd rather lynch Rogan.
...oh look, I previewed and there were 4 more posts. Amusingly, I think AV is still one vote behind Rogan before this post, so the above still makes sense.I'm Chaotic Good! Ish!

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
No, I don't think their votes on AV are anywhere near as suspicious as Elenna's. Xum was the first to vote and Snow voted at practically the same time, so I'm assuming Snow hadn't seen Xum's vote. Now, it's not impossible for Snow to have made her vote knowing of Xum's, either by the two of them colluding (if that was an intentional play by two wolves, they certainly went into the game swinging) or Snow seeing Xum's vote and posting hers very quickly.
Basically, putting the first vote on someone (and especially AV, especially after last game) doesn't look particularly wolfy to me, putting the third vote (especially when there are so few votes in total) is looking considerably more so.
Of course, none of this means that Snow and Xum can't be wolves, I just don't think their AV votes are hinting at that.

Re: If you're reading this, you just lost the game
I think it might be because it's become a trend to kill AV off early in order to remove a good player from the board, both from townies and wolves. In addition, there have been times where AV ended up doing all the heavy lifting- my guess would be, she doesn't think it's worth it to put in effort D/N 1.
That or she's got a power that works better if she's lynched/killed earlier.
- - - Updated - - -
Iirc both me and another player remarked on how that may have become a bad habit (getting AV killed early).

Re: Percy Jackson Mafia 2
Caoimhin - the initial AV votes are because last game AV was the narrator and a serial killer, and won. Xumtiil and I were both in endgame and as such were/are salty about it.
Rogan - my question was on how serious your "who is your top wolfread and why is it Elenna?" thing was.
And based on track record, bladescape has pretty consistently accurately read you but was responsible for Elenna's mislynch last game. But also his read is a fairly minor factor in mine on you and non-existent in my Elenna read.
AV - you are utterly evil.
Trying to parse the influx of Rogan votes but also have invested far too much of my afternoon in this game and should take a break.I'm writing stuff, come and read it!
