I thought there was some feistiness that could be ~good when Hally was questioning Tripped
I think you and maybe only you will understand exactly why my mind went to Spirited Away specifically (a game where Hally was pretty feisty as a wolf and fooled a lot of the game... and was encouraged to play feistier / stand up for herself more by a certain wolf partner...)
But this may just be some unresolved trauma bubbling to the surface 😛 -

Nothing really imo based on our 1 game but I can see others would take issue with it....not unsimilar to why I oushed his lunch last game.and he flipped Town Doc....why I'm not on board against him yet
I don't find a SD wagon particularly exciting rn but I have no real thoughts on his alignment
What do you think about my musings on Hallia/AJ?

Going a bit more in-depth on @Hallia and maybe more specifically how I feel about how others are reading her so far
My thoughts on Hallia
First off, just so this post doesn't give the immediate wrong impression: I am not making this post because I think Hallia is a wolf or because I'm encouraging anyone to vote her. I have her null but she's been present in the game and when we are v/v we can typically get on the same page and there is plenty of time for that.
I am making this post because she has been trending onto a more [consensus] light-green list as we move closer to EOD1 and it kind of freaks me out. I'll go through each player's progression on her to illustrate and comment on the read itself, might be useful now or later, idk.
On why it's probably freaking me out - I feel like I'm a pretty good Hally reader and while I'm not concerned about her posting so far there's also nothing that makes me feel like she's more likely than rand to be a villager. She's got the "good vibes" going on but I feel that's just an indicator she's happy to be playing the game which may or may not have anything to do with her alignment. A
Most of her content this game has been social or only tangentially game-related (again, not a concern on day 1, but if the winning mixture for Hallia is good vibes + inner thought process we're lacking the latter itt) with her most direct game-focused post being some mild pushback to Tripped asking Leelou to explain a read on her.
Other people's reads on Hallia
Leelou - earlygame posting was 'decent' (p6) --> 'early still but she seems chill' (p7) in response to Tripped - mild town read
Zander - "villagery thus far" + "gets easier to read as we progress some" (p8)
(Both of these seemed fine to me as an early game 'vibe check' based on Hallia's disposition)
AJ - "Hally has natural flow" + "no bad vibes there" (p13)
(Honestly am stuck a bit on this one. I feel like AJ would be a bit more cautious with Hallia than most of this roster considering he's seen firsthand some of Hallia's stronger wolf games. I could see this being w/v *because hallia is unlikely to be a mislynch target if she's getting townread by a lot of the game* or w/w treatment *because AJ is a true team player as a wolf and will extend himself to protect teammates and help reinforce their standing*)
@whiskey delta do you think i'm being fair/unfair on thinking its weird? is there something itt from hallia that you think is really only likely to come from her as a villager?
Tripped - "mostly okay with leelou, hallia, mostly darthe"
(No issue with this read, seems mostly based on the meta-conversation around hallia and some light experience with her)
Darthe - "has Hally high" but doesn't want to explain
(Fine, would be more concerned if he gave some nebulous reasoning for the read tbh)@Hallia have any of the mild townreads thrown your way seem off or lazy fypov?

Yeah... so this being my second game *ever* I'm gonna go ahead and plead total ignorance. You can draw whatever conclusions you want, but when I'm dead you'll be one townie short. Sorry I'm not playing to your standard, but fixating on me (call it what you want) is giving me strong wolf vibes towards you. Other than that, I don;t think I have a super precise strategy.
Having a super precise strategy in mafia will always backfire anyway 😛
Glad you are playing with us, don't worry about standards or anything like that, if it looks like any of us know what we are doing we'll just be glad we convinced someone other than ourselves

Are these independent reads or based on interactions? I actually read back and have THOTS but want to hear your take first.
I can’t technically say what it is on DragonMount (perhaps it could be referred to as a “poop post”?) but its not to be taken seriously unless later on I say it was serious

I think right now I'm feel mostly okay with leelou, hallia, maybe darthe because he's at least been around and asking questions. i've never seen mafia darthe, but idk if mafia darthe wouldn't bother mentioning being annoyed about people not posting and he seems like he's trying to sort people out.
I think leelou and hallia have both felt pretty natural/comfortable in the thread and particularly in leelou's case, i'm not sure someone coming back from a 3 year mafia hiatus would necessarily vibe that way as mafia. That said, i have no idea if they have an alignment preference or if they are exceptionally good as mafia, so lmk if that's a bad take.
AJ seems ~okay, but he definitely fooled me pretty hard in Corey's game when he was teamed with hallia. I think it's a ~good look for him to question some of the town reads on him, especially if he thinks they aren't deserved.
zander is zander. He seems okay so far. Nothing he's doing seems particularly agenday, but it's still early. I feel like the game I spectated, I got more...idk...slippery vibes from him later in the game. @Hallia do you have a decent track record reading zander? What about darthe?
Chris is hard for me to read because he and I think similarly and sounds reasonable as either alignment, so I tend to judge him based on his actions more than what he says.
hi tripped!
i like this post a lot and its a pretty good summary of how i felt about the thread at this moment
some stuff that came to mind reading it -
i am more comfortable with darthe rn than i usually let myself be. he’s good enough to do the ‘helpful villager’ bit as a wolf but there have been observations he’s made that have rang particularly true and i can roll with it
im no great leelou reader and while a lot of people have noted her comfort i particularly think her interactions with zander have been villagery
hallia’s got the good vibes - im not sure id say she feels comfortable the way leelou has, in the sense leelou is reacting to the game in real time with off the cuff thoughts - as zander noted sometime back, this is a good indicator she is either town or has a fun mafia team to work with (glgl)
nothing from AJ has pushed me either way yet. he seems a little subdued but it could just be me
i’m a little higher on Z, i’d have him in light green, his post volume being a nonfactor in this read. my impression from his start is that he is making a genuine effort to find other villagers
