seems fine but the other nine seems like the lurker block?
A little, it's just I like a lot of the more postery players. There's probably a deepwolf in those 10 somewhere.

For reference: lurkers/unsortable are

Gloria Cleary
Flea The Magician
Lapsa
Adorable

Push block
Toogeloo
Unowen
Fidget
Bell
Noraa

1 deepwolf + 1 lurker + Noraa + 2 of (Toogeloo/Unowen/Bell/Fidget). Could be 2 deepwolves, 3 in push block, or 2 lurkers or something. I need a lot more for a solid solve, but this is where i'm vibing around.

If we just solid townblock and do a POE today that's much better than the 'stay low until later in the game' when you're honestly more likely to eat a scroll since we'll have lost some of the bigger voices.
I'm in the town block already though, no? I do plan to share my opinions as they become relevant. The thing about Noraa is that there's enough there for me to think she flips town some of the time, I don't think town Noraa spite passes, and LLD could legitimately still be scum. My plan for LLD is "hope she dies early, if so she's town." If scum Noraa passes to town LLD I fully believe we go S>T>S on day 1 and if we go S>T>S on day 1 I believe we are in such a commanding position that we win outright regardless of one town read player being gone. So I don't really see why we are trying to milk this. Worse case scenario is town Noraa passes to town LLD who I think manages to hit scum for sure, so we still go T>T>S which is not that bad because we still deny scum a kill (though they would be happy with LLD being gone off course).

Yes but I don't see how that's relevant. Taylor dies whether or not in first secord or third. I'd like to avoid that. Hopefully by wagoning Pooky, we get him to talk about things elsewhere. Otherwise, we accept Pooky!scum, Taylor is the sacrifice who hopefully eliminates Noraa.

rofl I have 250 posts and nobody else is over 200 yea I'm sure I'm the one who needs to contribute to the game more titus.

So you are saying that you noticed post 101 and thought it was a town tell.
You noticed that Isis town read Theta and assumed it was because of the town tell, and think that was itself a town tell of Isis
You think that at the point where I was mildly suspicious of Isis but not to the point of actually raising it I would have noticed these things and dismissed my suspicions of Isis because of it.
And that I would make all these connections but not have known that in the skellytrumpet post there is a sample role pm which disproves all of this theorising?

ooh i really like that list from hopkirk
but i also really think adorable is scum for reasons i have mentioned and other people have elaborated on
as town won 2 games | lost 5 games | mislynched 3 times | dayvigged once | nightkilled once | vengekilled once | survived once
as scum won 2 games | lost none | lynched once | dayvigged once
and if you count large normal 204 then i won that game after replacing out as scum

Bell you're inconsistent simply because making TRs is not equaling to pocketing. If you want to call everyone that TRs hopkirk as scum, SR this.

In post 1723, Hopkirk wrote:@Pooky - town Taylor would never accept this because she's getting the first lethal and you're getting the second. If she 90% scumreads you then it's a terrible trade for her to trade her own life and a strong townread (who scum you would scroll) as opposed to giving you first or third lethal. Town her would definitely never consider this over Pooky-Taylor-X and this feels kind of obvious? Like neither alignment Taylor would consider it a good offer, and I feel it's hard to miss that it's objectively a terrible offer from her POV, and also worse than the other virtually identical offer.
This depends on your game-state read of Noraa - is Noraa currently locked in as 3rd elim or not? Do we need some kind of pseudo vote to decide this?

Also you fail to account for T-Swift's feelings about me - if she is 95% SR me and I'm a higher influence slot in that I'm driving a lot of the action - it absolutely makes sense for her to 1:1 trade me out if she has little to no traction on my slot. - Look at the feeling Isis had about LLD in early d1 - if you're a townie and you see someone who you consider almost certainly scum being townread all over the place and driving people out left and right - you want to trade your life for theirs early to avoid them doing more damage.
The issue is this
If Taylor is town and thinks you're scum then the actual order would be

Taylor-Pooky-One of Taylor's townreads

That's a shit bargain for Taylor. If she dies she absolutely wants to be in the middle.

Like nobody would EVER accept that because it's literally the worst possible outcome except for hitting 3 town since she dies and the mafia get the effective nightkill. It's far superior for her to kill someone she scumreads with the first slot. I especially don't get why you think Taylor as a player would like the deal based on the personality read I'm forming around her. What you SHOULD be asking her is whether she'd accept Pooky-Taylor-X since that's a deal town would consider taking. Choosing not to make that deal ensures she'll never take it as either alignment.

You're also definitely overestimating your game impact.
