First impression on that day opening is that this was a bad outcome for town and scum got to decide this gladiate. Since we could not have triggered the catastrophic outcome yet, my guess would be that the mod would not allow this to be a 3 town gladiate since that would guarantee another difficult trial for town, likely resulting in the double faillure scenario.

Ergo, I feel that scum likely sent their player thats not looking great against the two biggest lynchbaits she could win against. Either that, or they just sent all 3 scum in there to deceive us, but that seems a bit silly.

Something went wrong with this post. This is what it was supposed to say:

Like, based on the last few posts from shelly, if she did get a good result and she got to decide who would be fighting eachother, I bet pickaxe Pete wouldve been in there.

I am townreading the other two.

Objectively, I would vote PickAxe today but that's not happening.

A good result could vary by number of scums in the gladiate without Shelley having control.

Ok so, do we lynch the jester? I think not

i think the gladiate is a result of shelly's trial btw, maybe he had to like, try to pick 3 scum, and if he gets at least 2 that's a success for him?

Allow me to doubt on that, like, that would give 24 hours for a trial and 24 hours for scum to make a decision based on the trial, that's a pretty small time window imo

Titus, given that we know that the OP says a D1 scum lynch will be especially bad for town, how does that impact how youre gonna look at the voted on D1?

You and titus are probably right that its something along those lines.

Still, the trials can have 4 outcomes (horrible/fail/pass/perfect) and theres 3 people in the gladiate. I guess its possible the outcome could influence both the # of people in the gladiate and the # of scum in them?

I mean... 3 peeps to gladiate : 0 scum = horrible / 1 scum = failure / 2 scum = success / 3 scum = perfect

I find it really fitting tbh, and maybe scum has a say in the result

I'm not townreading you. I am not scumreading you either. I am deliberately waiting to see how you react to others to sort you.
You were calling me town beard or Shepard or w/e in most of your VCA shit you were basing your shelly vote on. You gave momentum to that wagon with some very weird reasoning.

I need some proper concise reasoning that I can understand. So far it feels like youre just finding the glue/justification that you require for your votes, not the other way around.

I mean, we don't know what the result was, so it's fine this way imo

Anyways, setup spec discussions won't win us the game, i'll try to actually get reads

OP says "This game will be very swingy, and bad executions can be VERY bad for either team, especially a Day 1 scum execution."
Lunching scum is bad for scum, not for town.

if the scum has a say in the result (which I think they do, given im town and was put in) I think they'd but in the scummiest townies (me, obviously and 1 other) and their best deepwolf? Or maybe 2 scum and me depending on shellys result. I don't know the nature of the trials but since they are said to be very hard, so im leaning towards there being 1 or 0 scum in this gladiate

Very, very annoyed to come back to a quick lynch. I should have been in here on Monday, I take responsibility for not being in here. But, ok. Battle Mage was one of my reads that was off. However, I don't think this one is...

I think its noserferatu since dgb's iso is horrid like mine
my guess is that shelly got a fail result and 2 townies (the scummier townies) were put in and 1 scum in solid standing
