Newbie 2023 - Hedgehogs - Day 3

[shellyc]

i told her I am town in our pt

Wait you have a PT? Wait... is this a mason claim?

[shellyc]

interested to hear what, if anything, happened between these two posts

Me too. I asked about what happened there, and Andres hasn't replied.

These will probably be my only posts today - will not have internet access.

[The Bulge]

Idk bulge frankly

My baseline is those townreads. I think Bella’s read reversal makes her more likely to be town but I think your read solidifying means you could be town too so ugh

i did read back and you said you'd believe me/bella scumteam in response to andre but didn't say much about

I'm familiar with your poe reads. I get the feeling tho that you are internally going back and forth on andre? what are your thoughts there

[The Bulge]

Wait you have a PT? Wait... is this a mason claim?

mason claims are designed to be pointless in most setups no, that was a scum claim

[notscience]

That he made perfect sense as scum with Bella and her last minute choice to clown iv

But I’m doubting bella scum

[notscience]

I’m also worried this is all a front to clown Andres then you and bella kill me tonight and point to this if one of you went down

HNNNNNNNG

[The Bulge]

hot take I think you survive this one to the end

[The Bulge]

I'm not looking forward to tomorrow tho if andre flips because I see what you're saying about that pair

[notscience]

Reword that I’m lost

[The Bulge]

andre flips red, i still think bella town, head hurt

[notscience]

Ah, gotcha

If it’s not bella who is it though? I could believe joyed maybe. They did almost trip the tell but the sheer insanity is so overt to be scum

[The Bulge]

first place I would look is joyed/nash. Then bell, then bella. I think.

[notscience]

What in particular leads you that way

[The Bulge]

Joyed for their earlier interaction with andre. Bell is a mid-strong town read but andre has been at his arm's length the whole game. On a 5-second skim, Clarity/andre interactions look worth examining upon an andre flip as well.

[Andresvmb]

I won’t get to this until tomorrow but, after reading The Bulge more carefully D1, I came to the conclusion that the slot was most likely Town. I am in desperate need of a re-read because I just feel like I need to update that read, but I’m starting to develop this feeling that one of notscience/The Bulge is Scum, and I can’t shake that feeling. So that’s where that’s coming from, and the switch by notscience away from Bella and onto The Bulge is reinforcing that.

[Andresvmb]

So what crossed my mind was that I should be sheeping notscience maybe, and move onto The Bulge and see if that hits, and if it doesn’t perhaps look at notscience more aggressively if that makes sense. But I also feel like nobody is really taking control of this game and it’s really up for grabs, and I need to put more of an effort to figuring out what makes sense.

[Andresvmb]

Also, Bella was near the brink for a bit there, and there was even some intention to hammer, but then the pressure sort of went away after Bella made some posts that honestly I didn’t think were Townie but other people thought they were

[Andresvmb]

I don’t know, I feel like there wasn’t a tremendous amount of resistance to that execution, and not a whole lot of stickiness to the wagon either, but I’m struggling with how to interpret that. Did Town just lose interest on a potential Scum execution?

A mod error has occurred as the deadline was frozen at 6 days after the 2nd vote count of the day.
While updating the vote count I never double-checked the timer. I am incredibly sorry that this error occurred.
Given there was no way to anticipate the actual deadline I will be setting it at 3 days from the time of this post.

The deadline was frozen at the following time 5 days, 22 hours, 5 minutes. All past and future deadlines will show the correct deadline.

[Andresvmb]

I think shellyc is the only player to be almost firm Town the way everybody is speaking about the slot.

I'm now going to think about this. The way I am townread, I am quite concerned. I am concerned that as a newbie playing town for the first time, I am being pocketed. I am often pocketed and I hope to rectify the pocketers (if any).

Everyone explain your townread on me please (if you have one)...

I think that if there was an opening for Scum to cast doubt onto your slot (and get you closer to elimination), it would have happened by now. Which means, you’re being left alone because it would most likely be suspicious for anyone to go aggressively after you (since you seem like almost obvious Town to some players), but also because you are not, as far as I can tell, hard pushing a view of the game or asserting yourself. My interpretation being that you’re not seen as an obvious threat, and so the Scum are just content to leave you be. This is what makes me think you’re probably in fact just Town, and I don’t need to spend a whole lot of time re-reading your posts for tone.

[Andresvmb]

Besides Bell throwing some suspicion your way @shellyc, and then reversing that read later, I don’t think you’ve attracted as much as a single vote. That says more than enough.

[Andresvmb]

@The Bulge can you clarify if you’ve claimed Neighbor please?

[Andresvmb]

Or Friendly Neighbor whatever which I guess is just Mason.

VOTE: plusJOYED

I’ll place my vote here while I wait for confirmation on the Claim.
