Smoke-Filled Antechamber [Endgame]

[Jake The Wolfie]

We are here to frustrate Peta until he offs himself so we can split his vast fortune.

"vast fortune"

[Syryana]

There's a reasonable chance that you're scum and hoping we dont
Why don't you try reading or engaging with any of us instead of taking potshots from the sidelines

Pedit: Yes, you

i mean ive engaged both fferyllt and tammy but okay.

If you're referring to 507 then we have different definitions for the word engaged

This post stands out to me. Are you holding your cards close to your chest here until you get a read or would you care to elaborate?

How I read this: "Are you always this cagey or..?"

this is also a bad look. feels very much like a post i would make as scum, though if people disagree that it's a generally scummy post i might just be projecting a bit too much. feedback welcome.

How I read this: "I would make a post like this as scum, but maybe this isn't coming from scum"

Ffery responded in 538 which I haven't seen you respond to and IDK about Tammy but you never tried to talk to her again either. You talked about her once but that's it.

I don't have time anymore but we'll continue this later

[petapan]

why don't you assume good faith and spell it out anyway?

it's more fun to troll.

I thought it was pretty clear which line I was talking about:

"i tried to draw something out of him but was unsuccessful" (talking about towntells)

There's no point to add this in there.

It's not something AI about Jake and doesn't sort his alignment, absence of towntell doesn't make him scummier.

It makes town-tells you get out of him if you can in the future more questionable.

If this is an actual thing you are trying to do, it doesn't really make sense to say you are doing it.

Feels like scum trying to say ooh I'm doing this townie thing go me.

wasn't implying he's scummier for it, still don't see a read there either way, i gave up on the idea of doing so, maybe someone else can figure out how to get something meaningful out of him

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I'm not saying he's scummier for it.

just seemed pointless for you to say that you failed to draw a town-tell out of him.

[Nahdia]

feels a little big brain to me. i can see the logic as to why maybe town shouldn't, but i dont agree it means town

wouldn't

do it.

if i had gotten a read off him i'd have outed it, i don't see a problem with saying i didn't

not to be rude i don't need you backing me up in this argument and i dunno why it needs your comment over anything else

[fferyllt]

Ooh a pagetop.

Anyways, I'm mostly just gonna go to the backline until Nahdia posts more. I can read them fairly well.

They've posted more. Thoughts?

Oh shit you right. I swore I played against a scum hydra with you and Titus, but no. That wasn’t.
:/
Time to go do some research, I guess.

So what's my scum game like and is this it?

And quite frankly I think everyone may have a slice of life this game.

Quite possibly! I'm grabbing life with gusto here.

...Fuck

Revisiting this. I think you misinterpreted me. I miss Andy. And I evidently missed the import of your Temba, his arms open. You know what I love in mafia, and you know that variants are also well-loved.

Does anyone with experience with Grumpy Emerald know if he sounds this mechanical all the time

Do you mind if I give an answer after somebody else does? I want to weigh in myself but also don’t want to tamper with what your plan with this is

I like this.

Ah Cabd, no I didn’t really need a response I guess, but my self-absorbed self likes responses :p

Ffery and syry are a little higher priority read for me right now, so that’s taken up the majority of my headspace.

Don’t worry I’ll get to you and well the you is tied up in the ffery and to a lesser extent syry space if that makes sense.

How's this coming along?

No, I'm here and town. I didn't think the town block frisbee throw was serious but more of an attempt to see how people might react to it. Some players might be drawn to it. Scum might slap it down if they're insecure. Though it doesn't look like anyone other than me really even attempted to engage, perhaps due to it being too early. I didn't want to artificially engage with you earlier because I didn't want to force myself to town read you, or perhaps better said I didn't want to speak with you in a mindset where I was less confident that you were town, while pretending I was.

I'm always huggable.

For me, the frisbee throw is always serious

and

always a reaction gatherer.

And you're right. There was little engagement outside the usual suspects who tend to initially engage Cabd with squinty eyes.

I didn't post the townbloc invitation in this game, so you inviting me felt like a high enough level of engagement that I responded, and wanted and see where it went. It didn't go anywhere. I chalked that up to your class and sleeplessness, and reached back to you a couple times. This is why I said it felt like you weren't sure how you wanted to approach the game (or something like that).

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

if i had gotten a read off him i'd have outed it, i don't see a problem with saying i didn't

ok what's the point of you saying you didn't draw a town-tell off of him then?

[fferyllt]

Pedit: Yes, you

i mean ive engaged both fferyllt and tammy but okay.

Your engagement with me is entirely 3rd person and phenomenally low key.

Maybe it's a playstyle thing. I've already registered my disappointment that you're not engaging me.

You're talking about me. Not to me.

[petapan]

if i had gotten a read off him i'd have outed it, i don't see a problem with saying i didn't

ok what's the point of you saying you didn't draw a town-tell off of him then?

to say i still don't have a read on him? lmao

[Cabd]

You very much missed my meaning but that's okay. The fact that you COULD miss it means we aren't as badly off as I'd feared.

[fferyllt]

Well, not entirely. there was that one "you" question. My reply got nothing back.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

to say i still don't have a read on him? lmao

That's not what the previous sentence says tho

[Nahdia]

feels a little big brain to me. i can see the logic as to why maybe town shouldn't, but i dont agree it means town

wouldn't

do it.

not to be rude i don't need you backing me up in this argument and i dunno why it needs your comment over anything else

not to be rude but i don't need your permission to respond to posts in this thread

[Something_Smart]

If this is an actual thing you are trying to do, it doesn't really make sense to say you are doing it.

Why not? Transparency is usually better for town so people can understand your mindset.

[Something_Smart]

It may not be OPTIMAL, but I think from a certain perspective it definitely makes sense.

[petapan]

to say i still don't have a read on him? lmao

That's not what the previous sentence says tho

does it? i think you're just misunderstanding the intended meaning of what i wrote

feels a little big brain to me. i can see the logic as to why maybe town shouldn't, but i dont agree it means town

wouldn't

do it.

not to be rude i don't need you backing me up in this argument and i dunno why it needs your comment over anything else

not to be rude but i don't need your permission to respond to posts in this thread

i still have you as gutscum and coming in to defend me in a low level dispute feels like an easy thing to argue vs posting anything that provides real insight

[fferyllt]

You very much missed my meaning but that's okay. The fact that you COULD miss it means we aren't as badly off as I'd feared.

At some point, the nightmares that are waking

me

up in the middle of the night are going to hit this thread and the implosion will be spectacular.

For now, I'm white-knuckling it and trying to sort some shit on my own.

[Nahdia]

i guess i just dont understand the distinction between what im putting forward and content that "provides real insight". should i just not post unless i have some massive revelation?

[petapan]

i would like you to post something that makes me believe you are town. mostly i don't see why you felt the need to come in on that particular argument other than it being a thing that was going on in the immediate present that you could take an easy position on by disputing what pooky was saying

what nightmares are we talking about ?

[Tammy]

Which read are you wondering about? You, Cabd, syry or just the whole?

This morning when I woke up at seven I was super optimistic and sure. In that moment I was sure you all were town.

Fell back asleep and woke up in a different mood and more uncertain than I was.

But he sum of it is that my town read of you is getting stronger. Cabd got kicked up a notch and is merrily skipping behind you. He has balloons but I don’t trust what’s in those balloons.

Syry is much the same as he was, which I know will cause you to start squinting at me but *shrug*. This morning I went through midsummer’s where syry was scum last, and well I want to go back through it again when I’m not feeling like I am right now.

Not ready to talk about them.

okay well im not sure why you're sniping at me because you're not able to read into my content. seems like a you problem. you call what i said an easy position, fine, but why does that mean i shouldn't say what im thinking as i read the thread?

this feels more like a theory of mafia discussion than anything else and is unhelpful.
