Ohhh I was very confused, I thought you were saying that me and Ari as a team was similarly plausible to you as me and tris as a team based on associatives you're seeing. Which confused me based on what you had been saying to skitter about tris.

As for what you actually said, yeah, okay.

What really scares people is not the artificial intelligence in the computer, but the natural intelligence they see in the mirror.

Do you have a post restriction?
ScumBlade's eloquent performance left me utterly disoriented, debased, depraved and sent me spiraling into a horrific murky abyss with emotional turmoil and immense despair as my only companions until slowly I suffocate in my own gloom, surrounded by failure.

I haven't done enough for anything to go either way which is why i'm so exhasperated for the calls for my head when all I've done is drop in and say hi.
meh this is kinda townie, actually
I strongly disagree with this

Flopz literally did not just drop in and say hi to begin with
If that's what flopz did I'd be ok with it

I realise I'm very late on this but I'm town reading plum, I really like their realist post and am getting of town pings from early interactions, especially with math blade, mainly because of the relaxed tone, the chill reaction to the party hat stuff, etc.

Which means I no have to go and re-read ico!

@skitter, the 1v1 set to you had with RC made me town read you.
Ceph specifically thinks that noone should be pushing RC right now. Hard agree. Part of this is also BC of their light town case on me - think RC is the persob with the most experience of m in the game..

Hard scum read on flopz.

UNVOTE:

I've remembered a game with Titus where Titus did a lot of the things maths is doing with me. We were both town. I'm leaving his read for a while, it's not productive.

Huh, you've posted way more content than I thought. I dislike your early case on plum but also super like that plum pushed you on your flip flop on them and you were able to point to responses that changed your mind.

I like the fact you are calling out a few hard town reads of teacher BC I just have like... no/slightly low opinion of the slot and tbsoe reads confused me too.

I like how relaxed you are about the idea that you are bussing your whole scum team.

Vague pressure on the worst is good posting too.

I'm ignoring the NK chat with RC BC it's unhelpful
Reaching out to m to sort a read feels townie. Im also going on tone, questions and pressure in similar places to how I feel.

Cool, that was useful. Do you have thoughts or questions for me?

not really

I'm going with the flow a bit, I don't have enough strenght to push this game in the direction I want, which is Floppy. There's a strong scumread on him in my head, but I've also already largely written that out in here but nobody seems interested yet.

Watching closely to see how this is playing out wrt Tris, on which I don't really have a read rn.

I'm considering this to be a chill game despite some players trying to prove otherwise, and I'm quite happy with having a few good townreads and a few good scumreads rn. There's nothing I can do to force the low-content scumreads to post more, so yeah.

VOTE: flopz

Pssst, Ico, a good way to get the vote is to vote the slot.

Yeah, I need to probe my read on tris and teacher.

I unvoted flopz because he was annoyed at stuff

Gave it some room to post when feeling a bit more comfortable, but I did not like the next catchup post at all

Also disliking how Flopz is diminishing it's opening post to 'I only said hi, and I wasn't scumhunting'

I'm not sure if my vote on flopz right now accomplishes that much

Klick agrees with MSG's reads a fair amount. Thinks ducky could be scum which I'm kinda here for. Klick also sees the 'math is using space logic about Bella but is probably town'.

Not really.

His read wall is what is kinda townie but it makes me wonder if anyone has played with Flopz before. I am getting unnatural vibes. I am wondering if it is due to inexperience or playstyle or Flopz is scum.
I've played one game before off-site which was a lot more relaxed than here. My experience is very low. I really shouldn't have agreed to do two games at once in this state but I guess I'm here now.

So i've had some time to clear my head and I can see where you're coming from. What I meant to convey in my opening was simply that I had read the forum and was going to start participating soon. I just wanted to put forth a couple of my opinions that I was going to go into more depth with in the evening of that day. I wasn't intending that to have counted as my whole view but just a couple thoughts swirling through my head for me to be expanded upon later. I was certainly not expecting the bombardment that followed.

It was supposed to be a directed comment to RCE, but I forgot to tag and now I’m not really sure of why I remembered it so ??? Too much snow day/sleep deprivation I think.

Ducks associatives with that pairing is bananas and his entire 'hardline policy stand against me' makes sense if he's trying to prevent people from following me in a game where I caught two scum early tbh

In post 1320, Plum wrote:was hoping to see if pushing him on scumreading MathBlade while accusing Ari of trying to pocket MathBlade as scum would tempt Ari to overcommit and show his hand (actually this was primarily hito's brilliant plan) but Flopz's subsequent posts and the more general Townread that formed on him (again, which I am inclined to agree with) kind of dumped that as a play.
This is the best part od plum's post and is kinda townie imo

I'm starting to become lowkey creeped out tho that everyone is kinda coalescing on the same general readlslist. Like either scum is like just the lurkers or are super happy with the current gamestate and idk how to tell which it is rn

Thing is

even 1 flip going not the way you expect it to speaks to something being awry, no?
