I could go for Alter Ego. Is there a reason you don't want the master vote?

Moon Cancer, the game's barely started and it sounds like you're already over it. If you scumread Assassin so hard how about you do literally anything besides vote him as master to flip him?

It took me a little longer to feel strongly that I can work with you, too. My townsense came way before teamsense did. I feel like you may like to play super-independently from your play so far, and I'm not sure you like or trust townblocking.
townlblocs were never really a
thing
for me, and i have severe trust issues unless i know the other person well, and seeing as this is an anonymous game...

Avenger is very obviously town to my eyes.

I think you are also town and would vote you.

In post 280, Servant Caster wrote:Are you watching me when I'm sleeping? I don't know why this keeps happening to me.

Honestly, I just want to king Foreigner whether he likes it or not and call it a day. I don't feel confident enough about anything else. VOTE: Foreigner

In post 282, Servant Archer wrote:I am fine with this vote, but I don't think your sense of urgency reads natural.
I don't have any objections to that actually, I don't know why I phrased it like we have to decide now. Maybe something to do with seeing a VC.
I liked Caster's immediate response to Archer here. I think scum (I def do it) like to double-down on their positions when called out on sounding unnatural like this, but Caster just looked at the post and went "huh, you're right".
In post 438, Servant Caster wrote:
In post 421, Servant Avenger wrote:@caster, why does lancer’s defense, coming from himself, weaken the argument? It’s a rule of thumb that bias means an untrue result, but this is short hand for evaluating a statement and seeing whether it is true or not. It has nothing to do with who said it, merely what they said.
I mean, there's nothing really to his objection other than "nuh uh." If he wants to be more substantive about it that would help, but at present it just looks like omgus.
I started quoting to explain why I TRed you and then remembered this interaction, so. Great. Are you really going to do the thing Assassin is doing and just totally ignore the parts of my posts that don't fit? I said it was weird that Assassin is only focusing on that one read and hasn't engaged me or engaged about me with anything else. But no, you totally shut me down and call it OMGUS. I guess I can't see it from outside my own POV but Assassin's questioning didn't even try to follow what I was saying, and then concluded with "Lancer didn't know how to explain the read" when I clearly already had as much as it was
possible
to explain a read from that early.

So you just hate the town and want us to lose? Ok
In post 442, Servant Caster wrote:Brb gonna start deliberately being scummy to trick the town into optimal play
Anyways, I liked this series of posts too but idk. Avenger's response to the Assassin is the only one that feels like he's actually considering the situation properly.

You know, I've never played with you before and I don't even know you, but you're still the first identity I guessed in this game. (Well, the first one I probably correctly guessed.)

I've been debating whether I should break the spirit of the game and do a meta-dive on you to figure out whether my issues have any substance to them. I don't know if I'll actually bother.

There is not, I'd be fine with it, just assuming it won't happen. I'm not much of a town leader, but I think putting it on town is more important than such considerations.

I don't enjoy how you've apparently put in all of this effort but don't seem interested in playing with the rest of us, and are actively voting someone you think is scum so the game sorts it for you in a way that's really bad if he is scum.
I don't even think it's AI, i just... don't like it.

This is @Moon Cancer though that's probably clear

No, I just don't really intend to hash out reads with people. If I think something needs to be asked, I'll ask, but I'm fine just trying to solve the game in my notes PT for a while.
In post 452, Servant Lancer wrote:If you scumread Assassin so hard how about you do literally anything besides vote him as master to flip him?
Because I don't need to? What would doing that achieve in this phase?

If this were a normal game, I'd probably try to get rid of Archer and Shielder before him anyway.

I thought I was doing pretty well at hooking posts to names in my memory. It doesn't really impact my read, but it makes me even more wrong about you campaigning.

I guess I'm low enough sort priority that my error didn't catch your attention!

How are you feeling about Rider?
i saw what you said but just assumed you were interpreting me differently. truthfully though you were in the group of people i lazily filed to "look into later" in my notes

my last note on rider was several days ago and it was just saying i don't like seeing a no context early readslist. i have not updated it since
went and read read rider past when i made my notes entry and i would say they are
fine
. i didn't really get the early tr on caster (i am liking caster a lot more recently though). asked some decent questions of caster. made some decent points about archer. their post about berserker in was kind of where i was coming down, but more in the sense of "early game looks decent but i really need to see something more from her". i don't find rider overtly suspicious but would probably want to see something more solid before i'd comfortably call them town.

Good luck with that.

This is an opinion I've seen before. I feel similarly about things like pre-flip associations. And don't get me started on obsessive, blinkered VCA.

As far as townblocks go, if it's not a good one that becomes very obvious very quickly. I've thrown a spanner. It's generating some interesting data as well as serving my primary purpose.

What do you think of Moon Cancer's approach to the game right now. What do you make of their strategy for using the master-upgrade vote?
well isnt that cute
Puppy-dog cute?

Side-games and self-challenges, and the old-game-reading I've assigned myself are all that stand between between me and a broken F5 key. Or a 5 page ISO.

I'm doing y'all a favor crafting player models.

Maybe I should challenge the mods to come play some 3P ELLO in my PT.
