What do you mean hammering?

Hammering is when a player is lynched This happens once a person meets the number of votes (in this day phase 5) required to lynch

They claimed a "Popular" role modifier. This means for them to be eliminated they will require 1 extra vote. This can be proven by voting them to verify they do not get eliminated.

I personally just didn't care. I could see either Town or Wolves having such a modifier and I simply believe their claim given how easily it can be verified. So I accepted it as truth and moved on.

Same

To be clear wolves have had popular modifiers like this in Mikal’s games.

Standard D1 strategy of insulating potential alignment cops N0 peek.

Essentially if every player posts a peek then if an alignment cop is killed we do not have to guess who they checked. If I am the alignment cop I am then insulated while town is given direct claims post flip. If I am not then any other alignment cop would be protected and able to out claims without fear.

Interesting strategy, I will say n0 roles are fairly uncommon here, (I have seen it 3-4 times probably though).

My n0 peek is whiteflame.

Yeah I have also made scum populars in many of my games, its very NAI.

Hence why I was clear that it would prove my role and not necessarily alignment

... I know?

Ok early reads, keeping it quick

Kohai - Null leaning town. The popular self vote is whatever, scum can be popular so it doesn't prove much. But he's been doing actual work explaining stuff to Noah, and unvoting so nobody accidentally hammers was a good look.

Helz - Lean town ish. Lots of process, n0 peeks are fine. Only thing I don't love is how hard he pushed everyone to drop flavor right away. That's exactly the info scum would want rn since they can only ask about 2 characters.

Mag1cman - Town lean. Reads feel genuine and he's actually pointing at people.

Noah - Null, he's new so idk how much to read into anything. He feels genuine, but I don't know what he looks like when he lies yet.

Whiteflame - Null for now. Not claiming flavor is just wf being wf, he says "don't mass claim" every game as both alignments, so it doesn't tell us anything by itself. What I'm actually watching is his reasoning for shutting it down. "We already have 3 character claims and a full claim so no point getting more" is fair, but it also conveniently stops the claim train right before it gets to him. Also his only real action so far is a vote on Shining plus "we should consider policy lynches," and voting the guy who hasn't shown up is about the safest vote in the game rn. Not scummy, just doesn't cost him anything. Wanna see him actually put a read on someone who's posting.

Magoroth - Slight scum lean. Claimed MJ the second Helz asked, then VTL Kohai with "idk why but I scumread this" which is... not a reason. Feels like he's trying to look busy without committing to anything.

Thoth - "Whazzup" lmao. Need more

Shining - Can't read what isn't there. Not super into a d1 policy on him yet when Thoth has like 1 post too.

VTL Magoroth

Somehow missed this reading back through the early DP. Also, fair pick Luna.

If I had to pick, Mag1c would have been my n0 pick.

Relative lack of sleep is not helping with providing any kind of meaningful reads, but I’ll try to get something up to that extent, hopefully before I go to bed.

i dont get the idea behind this

The idea is that if the cop dies we can look back and get their checks.

I guess if I had an NP1 cop, it's between Pie and Noah.

I hate reading noobs; having certainty on Pie is always great.

I'm highkey thankful Noah claimed even it wasn't a good play. It helps.
