Open 756: Hope Plus One (Day 5)

[Egix96]

Why have you been scumreading me?

No offence intended, but have you been reading my posts? I thought I'd been explaining myself quite well but if not, I apologise.

All right then, if I'm wrong on you and you're actually town, then now's your chance to show it.

- Can you remember why you said "I'd feel tempted to self-vote in that case, RC." in post#36? Because I don't think that's a very towny attitude to have.

- You seem to ask the question "if you assume I'm town, who are the scum?" or some variation of it, often. What do you intend to achieve by asking it?

- P#798 - "I'm also sort of lazy this game because I have the backup of RC & NSG, so I feel less urgency about sorting alignments." Why those two players specifically?

- P#978 - "You're scum until you stop scumreading me." Can you remember why you said that?

- P#986 - "I don't have a solid read on either of RC or NSG." Then why were you using them as backup?

This is from looking through the first ~half of your ISO. That should be enough for the time being.

What are your reads, Egix?

{NSG, Freezer}
{Cowbells, Fumuki}
{Eyes, Wormy}

Flippy - If I be honest I don't really have a read on him atm

{Creature}
{Titus slot, Shosh}

[GuyInFreezer]

I can already smell the no lynch

[GuyInFreezer]

Titus (2) - GuyInFreezer, Fumuki
Dr Worm (3) - Eyes without a face, NorthSideGal, Shoshin
Creature (1) - Crerature
Shoshin (3) - RC, Dr Worm, Egix96

Not Voting (2) - Emperor flippyNips, Titus

I'll still be very lacking in activity until like Wednesday since finals week.
But I'll be around in time to vote the biggest wagon.

How frequent are the VCs? Are they a good place to get started with?

[GuyInFreezer]

VCs are very infrequent in this game.

[Fumuki]

prod dodge?

[Fumuki]

not much time on my hands here.

all I have to say about Shoshin is that...I don't know, it's a very weird slot in the game.

I can see the slot flipping scum, but like, why is she playing like this if she is scum? does she always avoid taking a direction as scum?

Here she seems pretty lost and I...sympathize a lot with that. I feel like most of the scum would have at least a half-assed narrative on their reads, but looking in Shoshin ISO there really seems to be nothing.

I dunno, it can flip scum but I don't particularly feel strong about it. I would need to check Shoshin scum meta more but I don't have the time right now.

[Fumuki]

I think a lynch on Titus might be slightly better but dunno.

[Fumuki]

Meh, but in the end I can go for Shoshin sure

her ISO is like...so fuzzy.

[RadiantCowbells]

then vote her

[Fumuki]

my today lynch pool in that case is [Shoshin, Pretentious, Titus, Worm]

If I vote with my heart, it would be Pretentious/GiF to be honest. But since it doesn't seem viable... (and I don't want to make many enemies tbh)

Maybe Titus>Worm>Shoshin?

I think Worm is kind of towny in some posts, but that "hot-take two scum below me in the playerlist" gives me the creepies. Maybe I can exchange Worm for Shoshin there.

[RadiantCowbells]

itt fumuki expresses a willingness to vote for shoshin but refuses to do it when it actually comes down to it.

@nsg remember that in later day phases.

[Fumuki]

You're still going on with that scum read on me...

NSG also has Shoshin in her pool and isn't voting her right now

[Titus]

VCs are very infrequent in this game.

Shit, there goes the best way to solve the game.

[RadiantCowbells]

nsg has been absent. you popped in to a shoshin wagon, waffled about it a shit ton, then put it at the bottom of your lynchpool with the other two options being the only two other people getting wagoned.

[Titus]

I think a lynch on Titus might be slightly better but dunno.

If you want to vote me, vote me. If I get lynched because the slot was unsalvageable, not going to hurt my feelings. Right now, I think it's dumb to lynch active players though. I won't be as active as I used to be but I will still be around.

[Fumuki]

Are you saying that maybe the team is Shoshin + me?

I was the one leading Shoshin wagon on d1 while you were the one defending her.

Stop doing those pre-flip assoaciatives when it doesn't really glue.

[RadiantCowbells]

yes that's exactly what I'm saying, and you would know that a shoshin wagon wouldn't go through while I'm leading a different wagon at the same time because of my sheer force of will.

if you're not shoshin's buddy then vote her.

[RadiantCowbells]

this wagon is going to happen. if you're not on it at eod you're going to die tomorrow.

[Fumuki]

and why I would pop in today going for a shoshin wagon just to not follow it up as well?

If I was bussing I would do it until the end. There is literally no point to stop it midway.

Shoshin is in L-what anyway?

[Fumuki]

this wagon is going to happen. if you're not on it at eod you're going to die tomorrow.

whatever. I would thank you regardless of alignment.

I'm playing this game mostly out of duty than enjoyment tbh.

[RadiantCowbells]

you went for it when it was obviously not going to happen and bailed on it when it could actually happen. you can claim that you'd go all the way with the bus but you tried to avoid bussing last game.
i really don't care fumuki: it's a similar situation to last game where if you're town and not voting her here i still think lynching you is a plus.

[RadiantCowbells]

this wagon is going to happen. if you're not on it at eod you're going to die tomorrow.

whatever. I would thank you regardless of alignment.

oh i'm with you on that. pushing shoshin is aids and something i hopefully never have to do again.

[Fumuki]

it's like

why the hell shoshin plays like this as scum? is she this bad in faking reads?

[RadiantCowbells]

it's not a matter of competence it's a matter of motivation.
