VOTE: gypyx

ok i know yall gonna yell at me for this but i doubt that umlaut ain't gonna count the votes on him and i feel like this Very Bad Feeling in my stomach about this so i'd rather not E-1 bc umlaut will prob be claiming anyways

if he refuses to claim at E-2 hit me up

The main advantage to these hammer tests is because scum sometimes try and fake a reaction thinking they were hammered which can look real scummy, but fair that Umlaut probably isn't that type of player.

[Datisi]

i think we've had enough of that this game tbh

[Something_Smart]

I like today Grumpy Cat a lot more than I liked yesterday Grumpy Cat.

Idk maybe it's just that I'm actually reading his posts but yesterday he was like a PoE null-scum but he's decently towny now.

[the worst]

i feel like there's a pretty small % of scum players who actually react poorly to that kind of test
i satirise them for a reason

[Datisi]

am i allowed to vent about my paranoia-reads or is that -EV right now

[Something_Smart]

idk

I just read through the mason PT for mini 2157 and now I'm an official member of the Conftown Datisi Fan Club (also the Regular Datisi Fan Club but I was already in that one) so do whatever you feel is best.

How dare you

[Something_Smart]

I know, reading your posts is the gravest offense.

But sometimes these things have to be done.

[the worst]

am i allowed to vent about my paranoia-reads or is that -EV right now

rant at will

[Datisi]

i am really not sure how your takeaway from reading the 2157 mason PT can be "lol do what you feel is best"

[the worst]

us: do what you think is best

datisi: screams, sets the game thread on fire, rolls it down a hill

[Grumpy Cat]

VOTE: A50

Why did you switch, Grayons?

Mr. Crayons, I have a query.

YEAH?? WELL I READ ALL OF YOUR POSTS IN FULL SO TAKE THAT

[Something_Smart]

i am really not sure how your takeaway from reading the 2157 mason PT can be "lol do what you feel is best"

Your gambit was brilliant and you got screwed by the setup.

[Something_Smart]

YEAH?? WELL I READ ALL OF YOUR POSTS IN FULL SO TAKE THAT

Ha! I've got you now, Dr. Jones. My posts are so annoying and useless that it's impossible for you to have read them all.

[Green Crayons]

VOTE: A50

Why did you switch, Grayons?

Mr. Crayons, I have a query.

Just skipping to that post and the one prior to jog my memory, A50’s posts were scummy, I believe momentum was shifting back to him away from Gy, and it felt like the better option.

they... they were informed of the masonry...

[Umlaut]

I was going to read overnight but I... didn't do that

and I still haven't, really.

Except this:

VOTE: gypyx

ok i know yall gonna yell at me for this but i doubt that umlaut ain't gonna count the votes on him and i feel like this Very Bad Feeling in my stomach about this so i'd rather not E-1 bc umlaut will prob be claiming anyways

if he refuses to claim at E-2 hit me up

Why should I claim anything at E-2?

[Something_Smart]

well you probably have enough people willing to vote you to put you at like E+3 or some shit.

[Umlaut]

I'm having a somewhat childish stubborn "You can't make me vote Marquis" reaction just because I dislike the suggestion that I'm

supposed

to, even though I would be happy to vote them on the merits if not for that pressure.

I'll get over myself and

VOTE: Marquis

(L-1)

(Or at least I'll make the vote and internally grumble about it and try to get over myself later)

This is the post where I voted Marquis. If you think this is what a bus looks like then vote me, I guess. The idea that I as scum would "bus" by holding out so long and then being like "ugh, fine I

guess

I'll vote them," only to pass up the chance to be on that same wagon when it actually goes through to an elim, is absurd to me but I'm pretty sure there is no point in trying to defend myself over it.

VOTE: Gypyx

Until I see something to change my mind this vote is at least as good as it was yesterday.

[Umlaut]

Whatever. I'm a VT.

Based on draft order this means one of {DrDolittle, Something_Smart} has a role from the pair I requested. Should I out it?

[Green Crayons]

VOTE: Gypyx

[Umlaut]

UNVOTE: Gypyx

Actually I am going to out it, because I was kind of surprised it was taken but didn't really think about it until now.

I requested Universal Backup. This is paired with Role Cop, so one of {DrDolittle, Something_Smart} is a Universal Backup

or

a Rolecop.

I picked UB precisely because it seemed to be a less flashy or popular role, therefore less likely to be picked, yet very likely to be useful. But Rolecop is a popular

scum

role, and I notice there was no extra kill last night. This means that if one of those two is UB they inherited A50's vig ability but didn't shoot anyone last night (unless they shot Hoopla, but like what town player would ever shoot Hoopla?).

I'm not going to say that a 1-Shot Vig

should

necessarily take their shot the moment it's possible, but in my experience most vigs

will

do so particularly if they are town and a potential nightkill target. On reflection I think it's very likely one of these two is therefore a Role Cop, and probably scum.
