Craig is too scummy to be scum

It doesn't matter deeply, but it is mildly (I emphasize

mildly

) anti-town not to engage in voting because analyzing vote patterns is part of how we all form reads in the first place.

Craig is too scummy to be scum

Even though I know this is a discredited concept I'm having trouble disagreeing.

[Eevee]

i disagree with the too scummy to be scum thing but i do think Craig is doing this for fun and the fact it'd be a lot less fun as scum since he might just get suspected and lynched for it means it's town-indicative
like i think it's more fun to troll as town like this than as scum basically

Misty is winning me over with cuteness!!

See, this is why I wanted Eve to notice me, she gets me

I don’t disagree but I don’t want to force anything out early in this sort of gamestate

Yeah, 100%, but he is TOOOOOO scummy to be scum

[HoldenGolden]

So, I make an RVS vote, then after RVS I remove it, and suddenly everybody somehow didn't expect that?

Exactly. I didn't expect that.

Hello musical composer.

Would you like to give opinions on the events of the game. Are you in favor for the main wagon so far? Who do you like better: eve or eva?

I am in favour of the main wagon. I like neither.

Would you like to explain the former? What do you like about it? If you favour it, what is making you decide not to vote it?

I am fine with a wagon on Craig Pelton because of their posts.

I already am voting Craig Pelton. I started it.

Oops for some reason I thought Mohab was still leading in votes.

Idk if I can help clear anything up because ya know, wifom. My initial rvs vote on you was just for voting votato back. Not a big deal in rvs. But then when you supported porkens for voting votato as well and then invited others to join in the wagon I saw it as a good opportunity to call you out and get the game going


Slight townlean on snowblaze. I find scum tend not to open with a pile of reads.

I mean not really since it's over what you havent done.

I also disagree on snowblaze and actually

FoS

the readlist. I found most of the reads (pork, Ulmant, mohab, craig) non-committal or providing reasons to not fully trust in it (ulmant on chem for example). The only 3 committed reads there are a townlean on me and eevee and a town ping on you.

That's a good point

Snowblaze, do you think you could explain some of your reads?

I'm not really sure what more I can explain - that's about all I've got at the moment. It's less than 24 hours since the game started, I'm mostly going on instinct and vague impressions right now. (Plus I'm tired for some reason, so being lazy.)

Can you elaborate on my question about your pork read based off the instinct and vagueness? I can quote specifically what post by pork I want your opinion of.

Oh no, a wagon! Whatever shall I do? I have the strong impression that all of frederick, Holden, and homura are scum!

Blisterin' Barnacles, th' triple decker OMGUS! Wha' an outstandin' maneuver! Tell me sir, wha' be th' opinions o' those off yer wagon? Who be prime buddy material fer ye?

Personally I would find it even more humorous to be doing it as scum, but I confess I tend to be more ballsy in my ego posting then most players when they roll scum.

I find the style NAI, the reason why I'm voting is looking beyond that, yet I rather wait to explain what I see for the time being.

[HoldenGolden]

RCEnigma replaces Porkens.

Been a long time RC. Welcome aboard my ship.

It's funny because for me it looped around to being too scummy to be town who's too scummy.

Joke scumclaims are frequently +rand scum equity from what I've seen outside Newbies.

[RCEnigma]

I see some familiar faces. Haven't played with holden or Umlaut in a looooong time.

I've read through three or so pages and it looks like I repped into the towniest slot. Raya is a close second and holden a distant-er? Third.

[Homura]

Feels like scum risks too much being lynched D1 in this setup, though.

But the unsubtle bait still feels a little disingenuous.

[RCEnigma]

Correction: end of D4 or N4's start

Pending confirmation they could win by the start of D3. If the wincon for mafia is actually "all living members must escape to win" and not "majority members must escape to win" meaning 2/3. I don't want to talk more about this until nsg confirma something but I want it to be known.

[RCEnigma]

Also didn't particularly like eevee's opening but it's one post as far as I've read. Not concrete. I'm a' sniffin em down Cap'n!

[Homura]

Anyways, I don't see how you'd think he's post-restricted Homura. He drops the flavour occasionally, so unless I am missing something, can't be a post-restriction, no?

I posted my question before Holden lessened on the pirate-talk and it was a game I read fairly recently that had a similar mechanic.

This one.

[RCEnigma]

First impressions based on basically nothing:

• Holden town
  
• Eevee town
  
• Raya town
  
• Chemist kinda town
  
• Porkens not so great
  
• Mohab either
  
• everyone else needs to do more

Hey these are pretty good minus the porkens part.

Eevee tipped the other way into town territory with the Homies observation and the questioning on Rayas intentions. Raya specifically claiming credit for moving out of rvs makes the majority of her argument disingenuous.

[RCEnigma]

Homura*

Homura can be a homie though.
