JustAGuyNamedWill is at risk of becoming JustAFryNamedWill.

BunnyGo, Chaqa, Control V, damo666, yavuzovic, Red Neurax, Jamiet99uk need to cast votes.

rdrivera2005 needs to meet posting requirements.

Just under 23 hours remain in day 2.

[brainbomb]

well, I'm town, for starters

and I think both mimi and Dream have a high chance of being town too

Why

Dream is pretty similar to last game, I don't see any abnormalities or maliciousness from him. A bit more silent, like maybe on 90 or 95% of the settings, but with the same parameter.

I also don't see any agenda or the like from mimi, and how the wagon formed I don't think mafia would gain that traction. Sure a little nervousness at the beginning, but that's probably because of the potato miim had

Disagree on Dream. His posts this game are alot more concerned with how they appear. I read him as awkwardly different and more worried about who is pushing him. Seems less involved in giving reads

Disagree on mimi, their agenda is self evident in that the scummy thing about them is their posts are tonally defunct and lack any energy. Even their most decent damo push just looks rather pitifully conceived of. Im not impressed w their first 20 pages and Im really surprised you are

Snip

Will - feels like he can change his opinion here on a dime. He early declared a (probably soft) town read for Bunny and me, and after a bit that completely vanished. Other examples of that is all over his game. Sure, it's good to not tunnel and have an open mind, but Will seems to be another extreme from his last game, where his reads looked pretty frozen. I think he very well could've changed his approach from last game so to not fall into the same track.

Red - I don't like how he blocks all information from his reads, that's either unhelpful town or a mafia tactic.

Wow its almost like I’m not mafia

then prove it and throw one potato to a mafia

I do think though your townreads are quite fine. A bit different ordered, like dip higher and mimi lower, but I agree with them mostly. Hmm probably switch RD with Bunny.

Well lets see

They’re not ordered within tiers if thats what you’re asking

And yeah, I’m trying a different method of solving by just towning people and killing the rest. I tried to do this a few games ago but got D2ed or something i forgot

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

I think Brain is much easier to read than worcej

##VOTE BRAIN science

Weird

Why

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

##VOTE RED

Doing this 20 minutes later makes it weirder

Why

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

##VOTE RED

Doing this 20 minutes later makes it weirder

Will's votes have been weird all game, I still find the last minute Bunny vote on D1 suspicious. And then he immediately goes back to townreading Bunny.

Unfortunately me being insane is more town indicative than not

What do you think of Bo?

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

Unpopular opinion but Civ 6 is fun. Its not the same gameplay loop as 5 but saying its unfun is not true

bozotheclown's vote on worcej carries over as a vote on brainbomb.

##VOTE brainbomb, for the bot

This seems excessive.

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

How much of me do you want this day


A. The full bb
B. Sheep Just’s shit cuz theyre amazing
C. Dont care and this question is scummy
D. Id be happy with a low investment bb for once

Fixed it, and I choose B!

[brainbomb]

[Jamiet99uk]

Lets dooooo

##VOTE CONTROL

Wanna see this mf do some more

hmm I kinda like that too

##vote Control V

Why?

This looks like a super lazy vote.

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

Bro what

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

How did 3 people decide to vote me in one page

[brainbomb]

How did 3 people decide to vote me in one page

You arent very towny is probably why

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

I would like to vote within the following pool today: Will, Chaqa, Red, worcej, Bunny, rdrivera, yavuzovic.

I'm still down to vote for most of these people. Specifically Will, Chaqa, Red, Rdrivera. If people think Rdrivera is just being his usual self (I wouldn't know) then I guess that's whatever but I have found his votes to be completely random (why Yavuzovic out of the 5 people he mentioned??).

I want to give Yavuzovic and Brainbomb at least a day to see how they act. And Bunny being on my list is mostly vibes based.

But anyway, I am changing my vote again, sorry Bo. I found your post at the top of page 48 to be well reasoned and I have felt suspicious of Will for a while.

Chaqa is kind of sus but partially due to low participation and not understanding mechanics. Will has not provided a good explanation for his D1 voting pattern (I thought Bunny was mafia is not a good answer) and he's continuing to switch votes as if to start random wagons of town.

And despite Control V's vendetta against me I don't think Control V is the best daykill here and I feel like people who are saying that are trying to earn my goodwill.


##vote JustAGuyNamedWill

Ok Dream heres where we’re at

I get you’re suspicious of me. I’m always sus as town. But ask yourself if I resemble my scum game at all. You had first hand experience of how I play. This is not my mafia game

And why is “I thought Bunny was mafia” not a good answer? Why else would I vote someone unless it was to prevent a tie

ik but usually my death is slow and agonizing not suddenly all at once

[Jamiet99uk]

so, let me see:

• brainbomb replaced worcej

• there are still only two votes on red

• chaqa is a wagon for decent reasons

• red neurax is still talking about having 'plans' instead of actually giving reads

• other than 'control V kinda suspicious'

• brainbomb... is doing nearly nothing

• bozo is keeping track of potatoes and doing basically nothing else

• I have somehow not yet been shitpushed today

Anything else I missed?

I asked you some questions.

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

I have no issue voting Will if it comes down to it but I prefer Chaqa. No need to apologize for changing your vote.

I don't know what this means. Can you explain it?

"I don't think Control V is the best daykill here and I feel like people who are saying that are trying to earn my goodwill."

Control V’s biggest impact on the game has been scumreading me. The wagon against CV feels a bit forced, especially with Red Neurax saying CV is sus and then dipping. It feels like at least one of the people scumreading or voting for Control V is trying to get me to join the wagon on a misguided townie.

hmm, how sure are you we have another Antonius?

should Cicero follow Metellus Cimber, this time around?

guess I should as I'm the writer of The Willippics

##vote JustAGuyNamedWill

Kak were you not just agreeing with my towncore?

This vote is the most sus of my voters

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

Doesn’t mean I’m mafia
