Open 774 || Purgatory — Game Over

[Elmo TeH AzN]

But at that same time that seems a bold choice for Elmo scum coming back.

Just tell me you aren't scum this game. Cause every time we've played afaik you've not been on muh team.

alrighty I'm caught up

Best read list yet. I would have been sad if you weren't at the top of it.

I have some catching up to do.

[popsofctown]

Do you also think Wooper is scum, Taly?

I don't think you two are S/S given the lengthy conversation, too elaborate to pull off and you did push away from

wooper's

mindset in 254 so the interactions feel natural.

I want

wooper

to engage with more slots, coming in with a solve can go far in both alignments but I like the push for content.

@Elmo

, why don't you have any issue with a readslist that ends in a vote on you?

[Elmo TeH AzN]

I'm sorry I forgot my /s
I mean I can make a list as well my issue with it is that there is nothing else to go on.

thanks! I worked hard on it just for you!

also, is

wooper

an alt? They're sound familiar with everyone in the hydra :O

278 You go from saying it's the best reads yet to saying there's not much to go on?

I feel like your posting is to divert attention away from the votes and rationale on you, what do you think about your wagon?

And your

Amrun

read?

-Tai

[Elmo TeH AzN]

I like all the players in the hydra but I don't like hydras.

#1. This hydra I read as null as best. I told you all before I'm not a fan of hydra's and this one is almost neigh impossible for me to read.
Except I don't like them at all. Keeping it a secret for who are the heads is a bit rubs me the wrong way but even then I'm 99% sure I've played with no one in it. I believe the only person in this game I've played with is Amrun.

The hydra vote still just bothers me just for how its placed. I mean anyone can write a list at this point in time and just throw random reads out there.

I don't like Homura at all that vote just feels...Dirty that vote it is. There isn't much substance there at all. Which I don't understand since scum have a PT they can talk to in all times. There is so much in this game that's just not sitting right with me. On the side note of it I did misread and thought there were 2 scum. Whoops there are 3. So when I saw Whooper talking about scum having 33% of the votes I was a bit confused.

I've given up on the hydra on another note for now they are all over the place. Their posts are just going woosh over my head.

PEdit: If you are going to vote me I want a reason. That's all lists are just that. Lists they give some info but only helpful if someone flips and then you can look at the reads. If I wanted to divert attention I'm doing a pretty bad job aren't I unless I want all the attention on me which is never a style of my play.

Right now the second vote on my wagon looks pretty easy to just place along with the reasons. They have claimed there is a scum in myself, Implosion and Amrun. I mean just like your read list we can pair any 3 people right now and come up with something that has 33% odds of hitting scum.

[Something_Smart]

iirc pops likes to interact with her scumbuddies a lot.

[Team STRQ]

if you thought my reads were random, you could've asked about the ones you disagreed with instead of writing an essay about how unreadable we are and that you don't like the reads list

and why did you feel the need to justify your actions before even knowing why I'm voting you in the first place?

-Summer

do you think it's particularly likely that the engagement with wooper would've gone the way it did if they were both scum?

that's the main thing that makes me think it's not a SvS interaction.

Wooper is absolutely terrible. He's pretty much the worst

[Team STRQ]

It's pretty disingenuous to say I'm acting like i don't have elbow room while I'm frantically flailing my arms around. what are your reads other than implo town?

This is is one of my favorite posts of all time because it deceptively counters the argument that the metaphysical defensiveness is a likely response to small amounts pressure of the same type when the target in question is guilty by making the metaphorical argument that as a result of physical pressure his movements would be more physically restricted, and because he responds exactly as the stereotypical person who had committed some crime would be expected to respond, he is not such a player due to the fact that he does exactly that without actually countering a single point made.

I think the best way i can sum up my hydra read rn is it feels like we're all playing jenga while the hydra is playing with their new trumpet

I suppose I'd like something less erratic and maybe just a better presented summary of where they/their heads are at rn

I think hydra unison is for nerds, hydra dissonance is highly underrated, but i don't feel them within the flow of the game aorn. not detached. an active spectator. I'm hungry for more.

I will serve you more, what would you like to eat?

I feel like so many people have posted a weird comment of some kind about the hydra that it probably has partners and like maybe we should just flip it
This comment itself and lack of accompanying vote will probably go into the pile but that's ok as it will only increase the momentum for "just flip it"

Relax, check the scum PT. I know how to get us out of this one without you bussing us.

Raven feels good about Looker's post and not over Implosion's but I'm going to choke this one if they do not contribute to the PT.

I'm coming later today, I promise.

Also please choke me.

Before I go tho I wanna day Ameun is low key scumming it up and if I was still allowed to use the Hydra's vote, that's the next place I would put it.

[Something_Smart]

I don't think anything in that convo is out of the question as S/S.

Summer

posted my thinking toward

Elmo

before myself. I'm partially using this head's push to gain confidence with reads.
+hi

Raven

ily <3 post soon

wooper = TW

?!? QUACKERS.

I have to leave now, for real. But I'm liking the heat turning up in this game

-Tai

p-edit

Then how do you feel about

wooper/pops

individually,

S_S

?

[Something_Smart]

I don't see town pops yet. Doesn't mean I won't, but afaik scum-pops is defined as "lack of town-pops" so scumlean I guess?

Wooper doesn't seem to be caring about how he's perceived, which is towny.

[Amrun]

Homura/Amrun nonzero s/s equity off like the scent of openers

Yes I agree, that's why I was careful to note that post was not S -> T.

Failing to note that burned me in G&R III when I saw a post that I correctly judged wasn't S -> T and I assumed it was T -> X when it was actually S -> S.

What was this based on?



VOTE: team strq

Their reads are too vague for my taste, given that comp and propensity for specificity/clear reasoning. Specifically dislike their treatment of my slot.

[Team STRQ]

I would dislike us too, if I was scum.

-Raven

[Something_Smart]

What was this based on?

Oh. It's really brazen for scum to call out a townie who may or may not be a newbie for a greeting tell, which could easily blow up in your face if they aren't a newbie, or even if they are but people think it looked opportunistic.

On the other hand, it's a reasonable way to distance and play dumb with a partner.

[Wooper]

I don't think i have strong feelings on the first part of 293 tbh, i agree i wouldn't try to drive a lynch off it? but as a cursory observation the way it was i don't think I'd find it particularly difficult to drop as scum regardless of Homura's alignment


uhh the only person who's meaningfully interacted with my content is Amrun agreeing with my hard Elmo townread and i just called her out on buddying Elmo so....

I appreciate the high value of me interacting with other slots but i think I'm the least boring slot itt by a decent margin atm and think people should be trying to engage meaningfully with me rather than vice versa

[popsofctown]

Wooper I'm either going to policy heaven or policy hell that new avatar recognize you are doubling down

oh and this is meaningful
hi you <3

ok

[Team STRQ]

I'm sorry duck, I'm just so ridiculously overcome with excitement I am at this point in time having difficulty taking this game seriously.

Every time I log into this account I get into this surreal bliss that I just can't seem to come down out of and then you replaced in and I'm really just having trouble processing anything through this insane high I'm in right now.
