Perfect Masquerade [Game Over]

[Gentleman 7]

Has Lady 7 given you a catchup? Cuz you should ask one from her as well

She hasn't yet, but yeah, I'll go ask her.
I'm going to go confer in the PT for a bit.

[Gentleman 6]

L9 where is your catch up...
L7 do you have any reads L4 do you have any reads

[Gentleman 6]

No one in this game has put forth any lynches besides my partner and the obvious bait pairing (though it still could contain scum) so...

[Gentleman 1]

G5 being turbotown is definitely a hot take.

Sort of. G5 was pretty dang towny.

I am pretty sure this should get discussed down the line but if it did not, please explain this read. I’ll most likely be reacting to posts without any expectation for my questions to already be answered, so don’t get frustrated because of that, I’m aware of it.

How likely is it that scum will want to pair with their partners? Ive been part of a mafia/mafia lover pair in a lovers game and it was even more stressful and miserable than playing scum usually is. So my thought is they wouldn’t want it, but then someone made a post about pairing off before scum had a chance to pair off together, and now I’m wondering icky original thought makes sense. Is there some reason scum would want to pair with each other here?

Remind me to answer this after pre-dance.

If you have not yet, here is your reminder to go over this.

Lady 9, may I have this dance?

I will not hold it against you if you decline.

Yeah we can dance if you want, let me know if you want me to accept this for real and i will. Only reservation here is knowing that I'm set to die if dancing with you, but if we can set up a few pairings that I feel good about then there isn't a problem, and maybe people will be more inclined to follow through with them that way

I like this post a little, seems like the desire to solve is genuine.

[Gentleman 1]

You don't want to try and live to endgame?

I do, but I see that paranoia is starting to blossom. I'm thinking my biggest contribution to this game now would be to set up T-T pairings and then die. I'm at a point in the game where I'm able to pick and choose with Ladies I'd like to see live to the end. I'm going to be focusing on Gents now.

I mean, yeah, that's absolutely something scum might do to try to avoid giving away inside knowledge. I don't think L5 or G5 are scum but I don't think this specifically rules them out.

Can you explain why you don't think L5/G5 are scum? I'm not sure that you've talked about this before

I am definitely feeling good about the effort L9 is showing here.

G5 I just explained.

L5, I guess it's just that she's spitting out a lot of information in a way that doesn't really seem planned or controlled. It's not that there aren't people who do this as scum but most of the time that carefree, say-what-you-feel attitude is town.

L5 is posting quite a few things, yes, but I don’t get the sense that there is a lot of rhyme or reason to it. Seems like posting for the sake of it. Which I do know people have brought against me, but I am trying to use my posting as footholds here.

Ok fuck it.

Without stating reasons at this time, I think either L8 or L5 shouldnt be dancing. I may sheep L9 until I get bored. Im thinking the setup is 2L/1G right now, but guessing the scumteam at this time would be detrimental until we get pairings. I Already stated my opinion on who should get left out.

With ICs permission I will be moving towards asking someone to dance.

I hope yall are ready, Im taking the reigns of the most active gentleman in the game; ladies I hope you can handle me.

Could you expand on this post? How have your opinions expressed here evolved?

[Gentleman 7]

L9 where is your catch up...
L7 do you have any reads L4 do you have any reads

I have reads but I'm keeping them in the PT.
Still haven't looked at G5, and I'm liking L8 less for her posts recently. They feel like they're just to throw doubt around in an unfocused way.

If G8 is scum, I'd be okay with a L2 lynch after.
I don't see them pairing up if they're both scum because I feel like L2 could be town who can live for a long time and G8 would be more of a burden. Yes, it's possible that G8 randomly invited L7 and then L5, but I don't really know, especially when anyone could just read a couple random pages and decide to keep L5 around.

I'm bad at reading AtE, though I think L5 isn't scum, but I still don't feel confident in that. I think 1 person in that team is scum.

G6, was it you who wanted G5 to die first? Why are they a better pick over L5/G8 for being first?

P-edit. Oh, I just realized you weren't talking to me. Oh well.

[Gentleman 1]

OH MY GOD!

This avi just will not do. I do declare that my first action will not be to make the women (and men for that matter) swoon with the absolute machismo emanating from places others have only dreamed of, but to fix this horrible avi situation.

Someone catch me up while I look. Thanks dears.

Please tell me you do not keep this schtick up. It would be quite annoying.

I think G2 should aim for talkative scum. He's conftown. If he gets paired with a scum, he forces a 1 v 1 trade. If he hits a vocal player, the hood gives information.

I felt like you had a good awareness of the current situation earlier, so why are you making suggestions for G2 after he paired already?

I'm currently fine with any of 1, 3, 5, 7 sitting out.

If this were a Sadie Hawkins dance, I'd have asked G6 out a while ago. The rest just don't impress.

Odd, why are you saying I should dance?

Why can't you find a good man here? I think G5 is definitely worth linking to.

I do like this from L6. I feel like town tend to notice these sorts of errata more frequently. This is specifically about asking why L4 think she should dance.

As for why few men appeal to me,

1 focuses on strange things, I don't think I understand him.
3 is a suspect of mine.
4 was recently replaced and hasn't done much besides roleplay.
5 might not be awful, but I don't think he's interested in me and I don't get what he's doing recently.
7 is too mechanically focused. I cannot read him.
8 is not even here.

Why do you find the things I comment on strange L4?
Truth is, I felt mildly attacked when L4 initially expressed this sentiment, I was just starting to get into things then, and it felt like she was having a problem with that. At this point, though, it burns me less.

@Moderator

Does day end when a couple dies?

If not, I'm very much fine with getting rid of Gentleman 8 and Lady 5 immediately and then working through the second pair immediately after, as I don't see the status of that pair changing.

[Lady 7]

G8 et L5 delendi sunt?

[Gentleman 1]

I probably be scum reading your bravado if you weren’t ic

I would please ask the lovely Lady 7 to not flirt with me when I have already given my heart to another.

Here is my room key, meet me up there in 15 minutes and make sure no one sees you leave. Did you bring your dental dams?

Spoiler:

how dare you sir! I will remain pure for the prince who was promised! If he fails to show, I will go to my death unsullied. I won’t tell your lady friend about this.

Oh my. Might this be a Game of Thrones reference? Your verbiage gives me that impression.

Why THE FUCK did I read 9 ladies and 8 gentlemen last night? Lol

That means we have to atleast scumhunt in gentlemen, and oh boy thats going to be interesting.

Lady 5, while looking back, I think youre posting has been suspect, but I admit im not entirely confident youre flipping mafia. Im willing to take a chance. Ive seen some associations that make me think youre townie.

As for why you over L2, I was never intending on dancing with L2, that was a joke post.

Why did you not intend to pair with L2?

Fixing:

What's wrong with lady 3 and lady 7?

What's right with 3? For real, please tell me why everyone likes her, I don't get it.

7 has had a few posts that made me think she might be town, but a lot more neutral unmemorable ones. I don't trust her.

Hmm, I remember liking Misty's early posts, and she had more content than a lot of people at the time

If the only posts from 7 are neutral or towny, shouldn't you want them to get a dance partner? It doesn't sound like you scumread her

I just don't get it. It's like everyone else is reading different, secret L3 posts. They don't do anything for me.

My experience tells me that players with a large volume of posts that read neutral to me often turn out to be scum. The same applies to G3. In the absence of many players who feel outright scummy, this is something I'm turning to.

I haven't formed a strong opinion of you yet, but as you probably already have more posts than L1, it seems like you will at least try.

Hold on, are you leaving people out based on whether they will try, or whether you think they will flip scum? You're changing your method between posts here

Someone who's trying is easier to read. I have no illusions that I'm, for example, going to be able to get my sick pocket L7 concerns lynched today. Not even sure I want to, as more time might help. If L1 is going to continue to be useless, that's a low risk predance kill.

I’ll ask you this because of the sentiment expressed here: what do you think of me pairing with L2, rather than L1?

If there's an S-S pair in the process of happening here it is G5-L5. Neither of them is making any sense on the subject.

I feel like each has their own problems. G5 feels artificially aggressive, like he’s forcing himself to provide. L5, however, seems to be taking the reverse approach, barely providing anything that really seems of worth, mostly providing drivel.

I retract my earlier wooden feel on g7.

He’s cool.

G7 - why don’t you want to partner with someone too towny?

I don't feel like I'm too town read and what we need to win is to create as many strong T/T pairs as possible. If I'm scumread, it will potentially get someone who's well townread to die from being lynched or them leaving. I still want to pair with someone I consider town, to potentially help in solving, bit nit someone whow iso a consensus TR unless I am as well.

Why do people honestly think scum would ever pair up with scum?

Other than being a stupidly ballsy gambit, its against scum wincon, no?

If they're both town read, I think it's reasonable. But at that point we're already in trouble.

I had already been feeling decent about G7, and this post I think makes that improve. Seems to be a major team player here.

[Lady 5]

@Gent 8
Your talking in our dance chat but can you talk in main thread please. Tnx.
I swear, your making me think your talking in mafia chat RN.

[Gentleman 4]

G8 et L5 delendi sunt?

Oui. Et rapidement

[Lady 5]

Anyone who’s online and doesn’t speak really bugs me and I always feel as if they are in mafia chat because logic.

[Lady 5]

I highly doubt that’s the case.
But if that IS the case Gent 6 also did the same thing.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Both G8 and G6 are Mafia but I highly doubt this game is like that.

[Gentleman 6]

there's 3 scum; do you guys think that L5 G8 is going to flip double scum or something? are we gonna talk about anyone else?

[Gentleman 4]

Sure.

Gentleman 3 and Lady 6 are very near the bottom of the list of my favorite pairs.

It’s better to lynch a G1/L2.
Because if G8 is Town we could lose this game.
G1 and L2 I feel have a high chance of containing 1 scum in it.
This game would be allot better if I could actually fully trust my partner and my partner actually posted something, I’m kinda sad G3 didn’t pick me.
It’s also kinda sad that G8 said in our dance chat that I’m prob scum and he may leave the dance.
LMAO.

[Lady 8]

I don't like L3's slot that much.

[Lady 5]

Sure.

G3 is Town 100%.

Gentleman 1 and Lady 2 kinda pings me the most.

I can trust the “77” for now.

[Gentleman 6]

I'm actually pretty okay with G1/L2 lynch. As time goes on I've liked Star Wolf less and less.

[Lady 5]

I'm actually pretty okay with G1/L2 lynch. As time goes on I've liked Star Wolf less and less.

TBH.
I think he’s easier to solve with this order:
First Dance Lynch - G5/L4
Second Dance Lynch - G1/L2


We always get a scum here!

Unless both You and G8 are scum which I’m going to hope isn’t the case here.

[Gentleman 6]

I really don't expect either G8 or L5 to flip scum right now. I'm not sure I expect G5 to either at this point.

[Lady 7]

G5 feels artificially aggressive

Thank you. I'm reading through G5s iso, and I've been trying to identify how I feel about the tone. But that's it. I'm not sure what it says about his alignment, I'm not even sure it's scummy, but thanks for helping me put a finger on the tone.

[Lady 4]

Hey everyone just logging in to post in the scum pt ok bye

[Lady 5]

G8 stop with the fuckin prodge and play!
This town considers lack of content = Scummy
So you need to step up your game, quit with the prodge and participate as your a participant and give some content.
If you can’t do that then replace Out.
Simple.
