I do disagree with your scumread on RC.

And I think Plum is the go-to wagon for scum currently
I agree you have been. Very much so.

I am townreading you but I also look at other players agreement/disagreement with me to figure out if I am on the right track.

I am not used to it so it’s weird. :P

Damn who knew you found an accurate self portrait of me there!

I am okay with this :)

Why's that?

Hi, I'm just letting everyone know that I'm going to officially request replacement from implo (my team checked that it was okay for me to make this type of post). My work schedule was far busier and more exhausting the past couple of weeks than I anticipated, enough that I could barely take care of the basics in my life, let alone a Mafia game. Apologies for the inconvenience to everyone. I appreciated the chance to play and I'm sorry I couldn't make it happen this time.

Did my meme work?

Sorry Plum! You will be missed!

Heya!

Time constraints mostly. I also feel good about your posting and whatnot and I haven't really seen much in the game that has changed my reads as they sit so I'm kinda in a little space of "I don't need to change my reads and everyone else if wrong" because most other reads are contingent on either myself or RC being scum and neither of us are.

The other problem with that is that I don't think I can change minds about either of us so instead I want to interact with and case those who are potential scum not probable town. Issue there is that they are either inactive or so short on words it's almost impossible to do so.

So, like, I'll happily chat with you, Ico, but I need to interact with those who aren't interacting first and it's a little annoying. I have little to say because those I need to say things about aren't saying things for me to say things about.

Like current V/LA list just grew.

Plum is replacing, Ico for the weekend, xtoxm, teacher for the weekend plus.

Tris is MIA, Bella is lowest content, RCE isn't around much, and Flopz says a few scummy lines then disappears every once in a while.

This leaves RC, Skitter, Math, and Myself as active posters and as actively talked about. This isn't a game where anyone else can be read and if one of the latter 4 gets lynched and another NK'd the game will end in a scum sweep for mere inactivity.

My reads are stagnant because the only people giving enough content to read are already solid reads and are the minority in the thread.

Okay but I am?

I was inactive for the first part of the game but since my work schedule cooled off I have been here actively. I have more posts than yourself in a far shorter timespan, and I would be more active if there were people other than Math and RC to interact with on a regular basis.

Also I was talking about the weekend specifically here and you are on a V/la so really you took my post and spun it in an ilunintended direction for whatever reason.

Your vote sucks and you should feel bad about it.
Case me if you think I'm scum :)

I already asked Skitter to interact with me and she was logging off at the time. I don't feel that there has been much interaction there but there is potential which I m hopeful will become fruitful later.

Not an omission, merely already addressed in my intentions.

Hi Ari.

Engage me. It's hard to post a lot of content when a lot of the thread is RC. I'm not dealing with RC today. .

Why are you scum reading teacher? It feels like you are being deliberately obtuse about him - how do you explain the hand waving you did over his RC vote? BC it feels like the handwaving you did over "Bella does this as scum...I meant she doesn't, but she could!'

Hey Bella!

Do you mean his vote on TW? Because he never voted RC that I can tell.

My comment about your potential scum ability was just that. With my understanding of your abilities as it is, I presumed it to be something I could see coming from Scum!Bella. It wasn't a major point and it hasn't done much for my sorting of you. It was merely a commemtary so I could keep it in mind as the game progressed and if anyone else had a similar insight it might spark somethig unnoticed by them previously.

As for Teacher he's probably a secondary scumread atm. I should probably reread his postng but just like his surface understanding of that last post, leading to a vote on me for something I didn't actually say, he has shown a very surface level inclination for most of the game leading me t ok think he is more likely to already have the answers, as scum do.

Also his reason for voting TW was basically "well Ari isn't gonna happen today so I figure we should just end this now with a TW compromise."

The delay was all showy and they did nothing with it.

It was not a towny hammer and could easily have been Scum who knew it was a mislynch but wanted to make it look like they had a town motivation behind them.

I don't see anything that looks good about it.

A weak action to build a case on. TW asked for more time, Teacher held the hammer up. It doesn't make it townie but isn't inherently scummy.

I'm getting around to focusing on the game because it looks like you guys are going to let RC live and that's insane to me. It's nuts, really.

ok, here's a question for you: do you think that i ever get lynched today if i'm scum and have teammates who are simply not going to vote me
because from where you're standing it should be pretty obvious that I only ever get lynched if I'm town here

like it can bother you that I ~might be scum~ and am liable to not get lynched but it's not really something that you can do anything about, but not lynching me if i'm town is something you can.
