i don't really have interest in lynching him today but i have way better reasons to townread everyone else and he's playing very pro-scum atm
i just very very very strongly disagree with ur read on him
and i think at least in part how he's playing is cuz he's just fed up with this game and how it's going down
and being annoyed with you last night because you were push was kinda ridiculous and taking things out of context ...

I backed him because I agreed with what he was saying. His comment after did feel a bit icky but didn't really change anything for me.

skitter i'm town and when i have support from other players it changes the game from an emotionally draining slog to actually worth playing and i express that

if i'm town here (and I am) how exactly am i supposed to allay this concern besides by saying no i am not scum with slopz

flopz is the least scummy of the little timmys
hes new, never played with rc and doesnt know any better
unlike every other slot blanket townreading rc
Smooth as silk when he's scum, and very much capable of running things from behind the scenes while appearing to be doing minimal effort. - Almost50
Xtoxm is consistently great - Shosin
you were the only wolf i townread at endgame - the worst

there's literally no one in this game doing anything remotely close to "blanket townreading rc" besides for Aristophanes and even that is heavily in question

how is skitter blanket townreading me when she just called me potentially SvS with flopz? How is Bella blanket townreading me when she said if any of her scumreads are wrong I'm scum?

i have more experience with him than anyone here and he is outside of what ive observed to be his scumrange

why the fuck are you so insistent on defending saudade to the point that you're willing to NL over him
I'm not defending saudade. I've actually never seen anyone attack him, it's just votes. I disagree.
also NL is OK since we're 12 alive
I have both towncased and scumcased him.

Also if we NL today we just end up in this same damned mess tomorrow and shit man, I don't know why we would do that to ourselves!

In post 6044, RadiantCowbells wrote:I'd be interested in thoughts from anyone on your team, to be honest.
To follow up with this, I do actually have thoughts from both my teammates.

Well, kinda.

Nancy said Xtoxm might be town, but in a very unsure tone and without any elaboration.

Auro says this looks like scum Saudade and we should stop overthinking it and just pull the trigger already. Because even for those not in the game or even actively reading, the fact that this is still only in D2 is astonishing. RC is a "sort later" for Auro though I'm still solid on my read there. RCE is apparently a townread for reasons they have long forgotten so meh because stale read. Oh, and @Xtomx who "has been fairly active" apparently RC has 66x your postcount as of last night which is...I mean sure he posts a little but much but a 1:66 post ratio is crazy XD It also garnered a light scum-feel from Auro on your slot.

That's what I've got from the team atm.

Note to self that is where the RCE case begins. I don't think I'm going to bother reading that today because, as Auro said, this day has run too long as we just need to lynch Saudade and get on with it already! :)

Oh, RC already said my thoughts.

Awesome! XD

Sidenote, I skipped from 6050 to this post, 6275, because it all seemed RCE-centric and I'm just not into reading it all atm.

Secondarily, there are up to 5 days left in this phase. Can we please not use them all? Please??

Uh, yeah Imma stop being distracted and just read from here now. Sorry about all the empty posts here.

I really really don't think this is it and you're going to tunnel me if we lynch a townie today so I need us to lynch scum today.
RC, don't forget that a BoP only applies if you are pushing the lynch. If Shos is lynched today and flips town, it has been noted that you are uncertain on the slot and have conflicted thoughts. There is no reason to imagine you will be lynched on BoP because we lynched a townie if you were not the one who was pushing to lynch said townie.

Like I've skimmed a lot of posts where you start to freak out a bit because if we don't lynch scum you are going to die. But that's almost a misrep of the gamestate and I just thought I'd mention it explicitly so it is out there and if people do try to push you for lynching a townie when you explicitly said they should not be the lynch then please feel free to reference this and call them bad :)

In post 6320, Saudade wrote:its all about surivvaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal
It should all be about leading the town to a victory as sometimes dying is the best thing for us even as townies and maybe when up against a probable lynch spewing town or displaying reads clearly with argumentation so that conftown views can be looked upon after your death is like, best play even if you aren't going to live to see them followed through on.

But maybe that's just me.

This isn't really too big a deal in this case but in the future
Do NOT talk about Ongoing Games!!!


I will not elaborate any further at the moment but there is a fine line between what is acceptably said and what is not.
As a rule, just pretend any and all games only exist within their own thread and nowhere else.

Sometimes a harmless comment can have game changing effects and it is best to air on the side of caution in every respect here.

This has been a PSA from Ari
Thanks for listening :)

I actually think a policy Lynch+night action results will be the best
What's your rationale behind this being the best course of events?
This game's D1 was a shitshow, and it appears that the lack ofnightkill basically made D2 the same as D1, nothing to go on. May as well lynch policy lurker, or even nolynch to get the numbers back to odd.
"This game is a shitshow because we had no kill last night and had nothing to go on today. Let's continue that trend by killing either nobody or a low-poster with few to no associatives so we can start fresh with nothing to go on D3 as well, making D3 the same as D1." - shos, basically.

Like fuck.
