Mini Theme 2172: Great Idea Mafia - Game Over

[shellyc]

People going around asking "who's scum?" less than 24 hours into this game is weird. If it was just one person along, I might tr it as some scum hunting style.

how is it weird though

like wanting to know the townreads and scumreads of others is strictly NAI

[Primate]

I'm asking redcardinal specifically because they've posted mostly game speculation stuff, but also changed their vote from a RVS vote, to you, so the implication there is that they have something, but aren't really talking about it in favour of instead weighing in on setup stuff. The question itself is just a more provocative way of asking "what are your thoughts".

I almost never have scum reads this early in a game unless someone is obv scum. The what are your thoughts thing makes much more sense.

[shellyc]

Then what are your thoughts

tbh, I’m more fond of townreading early on and using POE

remember if nobody starts pushing or scumreading the game just dies

Not much at this point. Jumped out of rvs quick. npom is probably town. You and noraa I can't tell bc I'm having a hard time distinguishing you. Echo seems overly serious, but I'm having some difficulty there with Primate bc of the similar avatars also. I don't understand why everyone blew off the one person's question about other great idea games when there are three linked at the end of the wiki page. I mean several people have said that they read the wiki page, but none bothered to mention that? I linked to one of the games thinking that someone would accept that as an invitation to town bloc, but nothing.

What do you think?

[shellyc]

whyyyy does 154 sound like a bunch of IIoA (information instead of analysis i.e. just summarising the gamestate instead of sorting alignments)

do you even know what townblocks are??? linking to a game does not automatically form one.

I've listed my reads multiple times now. I think 154 comes from newbscum more than town thought (assuming herta isnt an alt or something)

[shellyc]

like I think it's coming off as IIoA pretty much, and thinking linking to a wiki page = townblock pings

and basically refusing to give reads due to avatars (?) is pretty anti-town

[Herta]

Yeah, sounds like newbscum to me.

[shellyc]

did you just scumclaim

[shellyc]

VOTE: Herta

get this slot now

[redcardinal]

herta's scum, serious vote

[shellyc]

kok red is gunna have a early townish pass, scum don't really bus super early d1. red is town, herta slipped and scumclaimed.

[shellyc]

EBWOP: ok redcardinal is gunna have a early townish pass, scum don't really bus super early d1. red is town, herta slipped and scumclaimed.

[redcardinal]

info, no analysis, very reactive posting

[redcardinal]

I agree with noraa's logic but don't entirely trust atm

[redcardinal]

lots of early game info w/o analysis from there too. difference is noraa isn't as reactive

[shellyc]

redcardinal lets hard push herta and be our little townblock

I agree with noraa's logic but don't entirely trust atm

can you ~explain~ this a bit more? is it gut that makes you distrust them? because coherent logic is usually town!AI

[shellyc]

info, no analysis, very reactive posting

this is exactly what im thinking atm

why do I find myself agreeing with everything redcardinal posts, red is super town

[redcardinal]

shelly how many games have you played with noraa, ballpark

[shellyc]

This game (their first ever game)
I don't think any other games are finished yet?

[Primate]

Yeah.

I read herta as a bit more of a complex situation than you in particular are acknowledging, but broadly I think there could be something there.

UNVOTE: Rannygazoo
VOTE: Herta

(Unrelated, but if Noraa/shelly meta is based on literally one game we can talk about I care about it a lot less, pshaw)

there are like 4 (?) ongoing games if you wanna talk about it a bit later

[redcardinal]

I get the feeling based on the first page (which is admittedly very little) that noraa and shelly have the same alignment

[redcardinal]

that's gut

[shellyc]

what's up with all the newbs loving preflip associatives

I think efforts to solve each other arent indicative of scumpair if anything. I dont think a town-town interaction is similar to a scumpair interaction at all
