VOTE: Gamma
Gamma has been on MS for 4.5 hours now. He made 47 public posts (the last if which was maybe 2 minutes ago) but is yet to even make an ego post in this game.
But I feel so bad about misreading you and making an ass out of myself that I want to vote with you instead. :3- Almost50

I vote him and 33 seconds later he shows up!
@Bell: You can wait to see what Gamma brings in before deciding to vote him or not, but I agree you shouldn't misread me twice in a row.

I do seem to recall the last time Gamma did that, he was scum, so consider me in support of this. (I like my Bell vote more, but in spirit I am with you here and will happily switch.)In post 874, Almost50 wrote:VOTE: Gamma

To be fair, this game’s huge, and if you’re not in it, or plan to be, i can understand why.In post 874, Almost50 wrote:Actually, here's my first serious vote 9actually my first in-game vote, since my RVS went to a spectator)

If anything this is probably more town indicative for me.
Side note, I have an 8p Micro game in queue with the theme of Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water, should be a fun small ride. It’s taking long to fill than my large themes.
Just in case anyone is looking for a small game to play.Time Is Money, Money Is Power, Power Is Pizza, Pizza is Knowledge- Bell

why do you need 5 real scumreads?In post 779, mastina wrote:Well, I just explained the Bell scumread.
The powerpuff girl hydra scumread comes mostly from feeling like, if they were town, that Ishouldbe townreading them...and yet, having an utter absence of a townread. They are one of the top-two posters in the game, as in, literally only one slot has more posts than them--plenty of content to sift through for getting a townread.
And yet.
I don't have one on them.
Everything they've done is a big ol' fat pile of null. Nothing that even remotely looks alignment-indicative. And while I realize that there is a lack of scumminess just as much as there is the lack of towniness, in a void, where both are absent, the alignment I'd expect is scum because if they were town I'd expect there to not be the void, I'd expect to have a read one way or another.
So basically, it's an "absence of evidence is evidence itself" sort of scumread.
For the Morning Mage hydra, it's largely similar, with a side of thinking that the Battle Mage from this game might be the same as the Battle Mage from my last game with him--basically, I'm not townreading the slot and I would expect to be townreading the top-poster in the game if they were town. But, this is explicitly not a strong read, because while Battle Mage's opener might've given me minor scumpings, it's not total deja vu, his game here doesn't seem like it's a perfect match to that scumgame, and overall it's not a strong scumread and has a significant chance of being wrong.
Heck, I'd probably call the Morning Mage scumread weaker than the Ban Hydras scumread. It's more or less a scumread for the sake of having a scumread, because in this game I should have five scumreads and right now even including all three, I'd have only three--but really, it's even worse than that; I have only one.
(I have one real scumread and what amounts to two rvs-tier-scumreads, when I need five real scumreads.)
So I've got a while to go yet before I can get so much as an initial solve.- Tayl0r Swift

my understanding of this was these were things that happened in the series, but none of them were guaranteed in this game. if all of those things were to happen itd be a basically open setupIn post 848, Almost50 wrote:
Did you read the intro & specifications to the game you signed up to??In post 832, Titus wrote:Since when do scum pick the setup at all?

assignment of roles to town by mafia; heavy information to mafia;night actions being determined by events (e.g., two players are assigned to collaboratively use a doctor ability); normal roles or otherwise non-flashy roles; uncertain guilties vs. certain innocents; setup fake-outs; vanilla by any other name tastes just as sweet.- Titus

so you dont think that the specific number was a slip? i dont remember seeing the number of scum present in the setup being given. uhh menal has been a person in the thread. i remember having thoughts, i dont remember what they were. i can go read the iso real fast. i should say that in my experience with menal usually you notice his presence right away, so thats a bit odd.In post 888, Titus wrote:@Taylor, That's mastina.

No. I don't. In fact I know it wasn't. 5 to 6 is a good guess for a game this size. 5 scum at a minimum. Can you see 4 scum in this setup? Not unless multiball. Therefore a solve requires 5 scum minimum.ShowThe scum had the misfortune of Titus being absurdly accurate on day one.Really quite impressed by that.~Drixx

hmm ok i reread and menal seemed a little bit too excited about the nero wagon. it pings scum but its kinda obvious. people who know menal better can tell me whether thats something scum!menal would actually do. but whats really interesting is that menal switched to voting plus and hasnt mentioned nero since. nero is now near the top of the readlist though. makes me scratch my head. maybe the nero push was a meme, it was early game. i also dislike the wanting to flip his townreads if we dont catch scum early. it reeks of fake paranoia. so i think menal is a solid scumread for me. VOTE: menal
also, i think your real question was asking if im scum with menal. the answer is yes.- Gamma Emerald

how much of this have u read, Gamma?Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
