also why does the gamma wagon, as weak as it seems to be, have such longevity? this gamestate doesnt make sense to me if gamma is scum. here i go defending gamma. i guess i must be scum too. oops.
If Gamma is scum I do expect more people to pull out the "Wtf Gamma always gets wagoned d1, this is how he always plays, this always happens rararararara" card

To be fair I'm pulling that and DDL/Tayl0r/A50 also are

but it doesn't seem to be working lol

i feel like im decent at sorting the people in that hydra, and i feel like i can sort them as town here.
I could see Ban Hydras being scum by pure coincidence. But i haven't tried to sort them, so i like your plan of actually trying to read them first better actually

You should be sorting GuiltyLion in our hydra, he's been controlling himself but he's fairly obvtown if you look at his content.

I don't think this is true. There's a pretty healthy wagon on ban hydra.
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.

the Mod having a personal view on racism is "interfering with the game"? I don't think so.

I do think the whole episode makes the Ban Hydras slot look worse from AI perspective though.

Not me?

o(╥﹏╥)o

Be honest, are you scum morning?
Was that the hidden metric u were using?

Why should I townread you, Mena? (´・ω・`)

I noted that you were less present and solvey than I was used to but that was like only for the first 24 hours -- pretty sure I saw a big ol readslist somewhere while I was reading.

i'm aware that you have a good scumgame and i haven't seen it yet. we need to get some mindmelding going before we form our townbloc. I just haven't felt the Gamma wagon click for me yet, he reminds me heavily of my previous games w/ him. A50 mentioned earlier that Gamma hasn't played to his scum meta or done his scum tell or whatever and DDL also shared the sentiment that he isn't any different from usual. Your response was to add them to the scumbin.

~Morning
N-no. I have, like, a whole bunch of ways to sort you and stuff!

Ehhh idk, I /probably/ wouldn’t be quite so obvscummy to draw attention to myself at the start of the game? But meh. I think I’m being fairly solvey but yeah, I don’t think there are great reasons to TR me yet. What do you think that means in relation to the people who are townreading me (like mastina, for instance)?

Also, yeah, don’t expect Full Mena(tm) this game — I’ve started a master’s and there have been some developments in my personal life since we last played and those are eating fairly significantly into my game budget. Plus I just played a scumgame and that generally leaves me a little burned out

What do you think about my point of gamma’s scumread on me not being really based on anything at all despite him presenting it as one of his more substantial reads? Do you think town!gamma really sees me shitposting about getting revenge for a game that happened well over a year ago (my second scumgame on site) and thinks that it’s a solid indicator of scum!me that I’m bragging about getting to misguillotine him now? Personally I think that’s significantly less competent than what I’d expect from gamma, and that divergence between what I think he would believe if he was being genuine and actually solving and engaging with posts vs what he’s saying he believes is why I think he’s scum.

Actually, untrue on the final two points — I called ddl out as possible scum very early on, and I’m townresding A50 and have been for a while

Your thing about "finally getting to vote me out" after Pokemon Ruby is stinky garbage, and does not come from a town perspective at all. You seem like scum who got excited at the prospect of getting revenge.
If Mena was actually motivated by something like revenge, he could just be town that is willing you to be scum, too. It's not necessarily a scum only perspective.

that being said, I am tempted to conclude that your read on Mena is coming from a genuine place, making you town

pedit: Which will certainly be interesting when discussing this with my partner. Do you think both Mena
and
Gamma can be scum, or is it just one of them, Mage?

I mean, players are still allowed to use the L word and Schadd is a self described SJW. I think he was just saying that 1615 was "good" b/c it mirrors his own personal thoughts although I do understand how it can be seen as "mod interference"

I guess I can see the argument they are LHF and so we shouldn't worry about them today. Not coincidence though surely? I didnt have a view on the post itself, but the reaction afterwards wasn't great. The defence of "please don't think we used racial sensitivities as a tactic to survive longer as scum" felt a bit OTT if the slot was town. Likewise, the Mod endorsing the post isn't objectionable, but it does make the slot look worse that the Mod felt the need to independently endorse them. And the reaction to that endorsement also doesn't look great. Also, for a hydra slot, they've gone relatively unnoticed on Day 1, which might indicate they have some allies.
