Mini Normal 2118: Boon Gets Pretentious - [Day 4]

[AaronFrost]

Alright sorry this took so long for me to get to. Here's what I pickup up on upon a reread.

- insomnia pressured myself and Ame early on. I think in a setup with no daychat, it's possible that scum would fake pressure on their partner if they disapproved of their posting. This is something that should be discussed imo.
- He later turned the reads on both of us into townreads. Read into this how you will, but I'm trying to figure scum!somni's motivation for turning his reads around like that. I think he was trying to pocket me, but could his turn around on Ame indicate partnership?
- If he was distancing, it might have been with Wimpy. His play around the Wimpy slot feels like he was trying to avoid tunneling him. Could be that he disapproved of Ame's tunnel as well, but I think the way Wimpy played around him though doesn't indicate partnership.
- clidd insistence that insomnia is town is suspicious as well and he doesn't do much to support that read.
- dsj follow somni onto flippy. I could see scum!dsj voting with his buddy here/trying to protect him. Definitely looks buddyish.
- Hectic barely interacted with somni early in Day 1 which is weird, but the scum!Hectic I just witnessed in Micro 920 interacted with his buddies quite a bit so eh it's probably nothing.
- Gonna be upset is Ame was also trying to pocket me when I was getting pressured by Luca but I think her defense of me was genuine there.
- Luca/Ame/insomnia/me goes on for a literal eternity. Skimmed most of those pages on a reread.
- clidd voted insomnia even though he thought he was town what? I think Ame is town for the hop on in 1004, think she'd be a little more hesitant to vote him there is she was scum with him. Hectic's vote on Karnage after that was bleh as well.

Scumpool right now is {Hectic, dsj, clidd}, if this isn't right then throw Ame in there. Karnage I don't think is scum simply because of Wimpy's play around somni, and flippy is obviously conf town.

Shotgun reads from most likely town to least likely town

flippynips (conf town) > Ame > Karnage > Hectic> clidd > dsjstr

I have yet to read most of Day 2 I'll be doing that shortly.

[AaronFrost]

oh wow sweet pagetop

[dsjstr]

Nice timing Aaron

[Karnage]

After Luca started to really push for insomnia you (ame) obviously wanted anybody but him lynched:

I don't think there's anything to gain from a Somni town flip

either.

I don't think he lied, I think it's a misunderstanding. I do see why you think he's scum, but I think you should make an attempt at reading it from a townSomni perspective. I agree with him that backed down and falling under pressure are similar enough concepts to be used interchangeably.

No worries, feel better!

(

And join me on Karnage when you come back online!

)

Hectic I'm thinking about Clidd

@Clidd, now that you know flippy is mason, shouldn't the game be solved for you as dsjstr and hectic?

Ok well vote Karnage then. You're voting the only person that doesn't help you figure out the game.

and this is probably the point you gave up:

No survivors

lol

I guess we can try insomnia

VOTE: Insomnia

[dsjstr]

- dsj follow somni onto flippy. I could see scum!dsj voting with his buddy here/trying to protect him. Definitely looks buddyish.

I tend to not associate with people who I am 100% certain are on my team

I did that in Wolves Among Us and I did it here during D1 with Ame

[dsjstr]

The top line is Aarons quote

[dsjstr]

Well at least I thought Ame was town :p

[Ame]

Hm I guess Aaron could be scum. That analysis was really fast. Grrr this was such a bad lynch and a waste.

[clidd]

You are still

scum

and this is not going to change.

I already said.

[AaronFrost]

Fuck you mean that was fast? I spent like almost 2 hours rereading the game.

[Ame]

Oh I thought you started reading here:

Hi I'm still here. Doing a reread/analysis now. Stay tuned

So you were here all this time?

[AaronFrost]

"Doing a reread," as in I am currently in the process of doing one. Yeah I was here.

What's up you need anything from me? I'm still reading through Day 2.

[Ame]

I've been lynched duder

[AaronFrost]

Fuck really? Why? You're town right?

[Ame]

Yes, I'm town. Clidd quickhammered.

[AaronFrost]

Ok yeah moving clidd up to my top scumread if you flip town.

PEDIT: Cooooool

[clidd]

You are still

scum

and this is not going to change.

I already said.

Clidd I think the "It" thing may be something particular to this forum or maybe the internet. I've never heard it used outside of here. With regard to 'they,' it's a pain that Latin-based languages don't tend to have a gender-neutral singular. There's many instances where it's necessary/efficient, particularly when you don't know someone's gender or if you're speaking in a general context (for example, I often read books where the author uses 'he' or 'she' to refer to a generic person and find it confusing because it sounds like they are referring to a specific person). I think 'they' is the best alternative we have right now. I used to find it a bit jarring to read, but after a while, I've become quite used to it. There's been other proposals for gender-neutral singulars, but none of them have really caught on in language.

[Ame]

Honestly, I can't say I really even scumread Hectic. He's been completely null all game. He's really just the PoE option if Clidd doesn't flip scum.

Clidd actually has been scummy and illogical. Reading his town games, I can actually follow his reasoning and agree with it. I haven't felt that once this game.

[clidd]

I find it very strange to use "It" to call someone, it seems that I am treating the person as an object / animal. ''They'' in my language, it is a very serious misspelling if I use it to address someone. English has so many variations that I get confused when it comes to pronunciations. Another thing is the gender of words, which is in Portuguese (my second language) and not in English. An example would be dog (dog), which can be written as either '' dog '' or '' dog '' depending on the sex of the animal, but in English I have to add the '' Female '' to make sense of the phrase.

[clidd]

Correcting: Cachorro(male), cachorra (female).

[clidd]

So ''male dog'' would be cachorro, and ''female dog'' would be cachorra.

[clidd]

Honestly, I can't say I really even scumread Hectic. He's been completely null all game. He's really just the PoE option if Clidd doesn't flip scum.

Im not scum, just different in this game. I believe that the way you answered me there was

scum indicative

, that's why I hammered you. It was very selfish of me, but I believe it was the right decision(if you're

scum

pretending now). If you're town......

[clidd]

Well,I don't know what else to think about this game.

[AaronFrost]

Yeah actually I'm really feeling clidd!scum here. His reads have been so inconsistent today and he's just been all over the place.

PEDIT: Hi, native english speaker from the States here. In English, "they" is typically used as a gender neutral pronoun, which can definitely be strange if you don't know the language well. It is technically incorrect since "they" is usually referring to a group of people, but people also use it gender neutrally. English is a weird language man.
