Newbie 1951 (Day 4)

[skitter30]

did you like not read anything between 399 and 513?

[skitter30]

oh, just looking at my ISO to find where I declared intent: I'd forgotten that I was calling fark/emps as a possible pairing. So that means I've got to Farkran as possible scum in two pairings, through two more-or-less separate reads

sorry so was it serious or not ?

[skitter30]

skitt said something that bothered me but can't remember exactly what now: I think about scum!her just pocketing me?

but I don't think scum!her would try and pocket me through buddying me, bc she knows that I know that pocketing is something she chooses to do as scum

I'm also not sure she'd do that to me vs NMSA or teacher bc I don't think scum!skitt would view me as a threat that much

but if she was to not try to pocket me (i.e. what she's done) she might actually be trying to pocket me by not doing what she thinks I would have expected scum!skitt to do

the ways of scum!me are mysterious and inscrutable

really tho i have a pretty simple MO: pocket everyone i can, nk the threats that i can't, be too 'townie' to be in the lynch pool

i don't push mislynches as scum, or push people at all really; i just kinda waffle back and forth ad position myself well so that when people flip i look good

that's it

[skitter30]

like, I think there's a good chance scum!skitt just leaves me to push Farkran/someone else she knows is town so I'd take the flak after getting the lynch through

but when my activity took a hit then I became a reasonable first day iynch target bc I'm (1) easier to get through than teacher/NMSA probably (2) I'm less active than emps/sushi so prob also more viable than them (3) I probably become more dangerous late game to scum!skitt as a newbie and I think mislynching me becomes harder the longer game goes on bc I tend towards spewing myself town when I get active

i really don't think scum!me tries to mislynch town!you here, you tend to obvtown i think and i wouldn't want to deal with that

your reads are decent but not ~great~ so i think i just pocket you and keep you in the game to push mislynches for me

[emps]

fakehammering is not a thing where i come from, it's considered a dirty play.

wait fakehammering is dirty play but faking that ur a newb and this is ur first game isnt????

imo the whole "rando names lol no meta allowed" is bad imo

[Sushi Martyr]

did you like not read anything between 399 and 513?

No, I read all that, I meant the more recent stuff. I didn't get any sleep last night and haven't really been able to focus today.

[emps]

i think they were referring to mena there sushi

[emps]

also mena didnt post in the middle of it

i feel like hes kinda lazy tbh

[skitter30]

The fact that Selynee's sticking around in the thread despite the high tension and has started posting more makes me feel better about her than I did before, especially because her posts seem reasonable.

The way skitter keeps defending Fark largely on the basis of him coming from a different site and being used to a different style of play, etc., gives me bad vibes.

1st paragraph: i don't really agree

second paragraph: ok :shrug:
what kind of bad vibes?

also i think this is a townie post

[skitter30]

also mena didnt post in the middle of it

i feel like hes kinda lazy tbh

yeah it was about mena

i was saying that he gave intent and is just now claiming that it wasn't serious

but he gave no indication of such until like a earlier today (irl today)

i feel like if he was posting around then he should have indcated that it wasn't serious if it wasn't
but he didn't post around then

and everyone else was treating it as serious so why did he take so long to say that it wasn't, until people started giving him flak for it ?

[skitter30]

100% nothing she's done here is a good reason to put her as solid town

this is true

tfw people think you have a competant scumgame

[skitter30]

I think I would be townleaning me based on my play so far

ehhhh this is kinda icky

[skitter30]

Her leaving out teacher in her latest update (#645), and him almost immediately correcting her might just have been the greatest scumtell ever that i had been overlooking until now.

this isn't ai
also i don't want to vote teacher rn

[emps]

eh i think forgetting about people is kinda scummy

[skitter30]

I find it weird that you’re as keen for this wagon as you are skitt

because i think you've been trying to get in a lynch on lynch-bait-y town

and yeah the fact that the game stalled when you got wagoned is ... slightly concerning

btw the townread i had on selynee has all in all evaporated

surely the definition of Lynch-baity town is that they do things that seem justifiable for lynching

why is this scummy rather than me just disagreeing with you about whether the tells are genuinely scummy vs town being scummy?

I've been more reticent on fark than I think I might have been and I think you know why

because i'm wary of people repeatedly subtly pushing wagons on someone who i believe is town but is playing in a way that makes them imminently lynchable

[skitter30]

i actually don't think it's ai in the slightest, people just do that sometimes, i've seen it from both alignments

[skitter30]

I think a lot of people are overlooking Selynee and Sushi Martyr. I see good questions from them both, feels like town but could easily be made up.

big oof

we can lynch this too, i think

let me check the vc

[skitter30]

ehhh that wagon is kinda icky; both of the people i'm scumreading are on it rn

still happy wiht my vote i think

[teacher]

Skit I think were going to need to compromise, and that slot is basically the compromise. Maybe Selynee - I need to reread todays stuff, which Im not going to be able to do until tomorrow. But Menalque is off the day's list for me in the same way that Fark is for you.

FWIW, I think Menalque's posts of today are fairly town-indicative for him, especially the nuance on Fark which you can also find in my posts.

Have you had a chance to go over 1941!emps?

I cant chat tonight, so somewhat of a prodge.

[skitter30]

i'm not voting fark today and i'd much prefer menalque

i can compromise on creeper; i'm not sure menalque is like ~viable~ anymore really
i do think the wagon is icky tho
are we ready for l-1?

i haven't had a chance yet to read the other game, i've had a p busy day
(also will be busy for the next couple of days; i'm vla over fridays and saturdays, just a reminder)

[Sushi Martyr]

Remind me to respond to 733 tomorrow, and reread posts and stuff from today. I think I might call it a night.

[emps]

ehhh i kinda changed my mind on fark still kinda unsure tho

UNVOTE:

[emps]

but like idk what to really think of mena ignoring me pushing fark to claim when his intent was "fake"

[skitter30]

vote mena with me!

[Farkran]

fakehammering is not a thing where i come from, it's considered a dirty play.

imo the whole "rando names lol no meta allowed" is bad imo

It's my very first game on this site, not my first forum mafia game in my life, i even said it in the signup thread, before the game started.
