I am not.In post 1728, Hopkirk wrote:@Fidget - are you a public alt? I'm wondering who you are since you said I've got a 'very good scumgame' and I haven't rolled scum in like two and a half years and 20-30 games at this point.
I would say I was thinking about voting Bell but only by virtue of that it was page 2. I was looking for his answer, not for other people to chime in. What makes you feel like it is the latter?In post 1745, Hopkirk wrote:To clarify my POE is closer to 10-12 than it is 5. Those are just the ones I was thinking of voting right now (less so Noraaright nowbut they're more the names I can see myself voting over the next two days)
It's largely that the tone feels under the radary/uncontroversial in general, but there's a couple of specific things that pinged me.
In post 39, Fidget wrote:
You have a pretty good understanding of the setup, up until the part where you question whether or not scum has a NK. What is your intention behind the last line?In post 14, Bell wrote:My understanding is that scum get one day vig you can’t shoot a scroll holder.
We get three flips at once.
That occur over a 7 day voting phase.
Then 2 baton passes for an additional 6 days of content.
3 flips repeat.
No scum NK?
So two things here. First, this kind of reads as someone waiting to see how much traction it gets before deciding to vote and/or bus.In post 291, Fidget wrote:I trust that Noraa received several votes for that? So I'll hold off for a moment.
UNVOTE:
I do not understand. Why did you feel the need to ask how many scum are in the setup rather than looking? If you thought this setup was closed, why would one of the designers/reviewers (Isis) play it?In post 104, Noraa wrote:Ok let's clarify something rq. I asked Cabd to bring me along to spectate the next game he was going to spectate. He said he was gonna spectate this game and that I was in it already. I was at the time, not even aware of this games existence. I checked out this game and saw it was modded by hectic and was like ooooo sounds fun! so then I directly inned. I don't read setup. Everyone says that I town slip as scum. So to be completely honest, a lot of the "townslips" aren't even town slips for me cuz I legitimately don't pay attention to the OPs. Pooky since you referenced Mafiasunny, I was a mafia goon that game and I legitimately asked my partners in the pt if there were town prs. Dumb question ig you could say and considering my partners were voyeur and Roleblocker, it should've been pretty obvious there were prs. I didn't read any of the setup in that game either and submitted actions in the pt when the mod directly said you had to pm him. I literally do not read OPs of games with setups I've never played in before(that was my first mini theme). I want to reference two different games as well but they're ongoing so I can't but regardless I only skim OPs and sometimes I dont even do that. In this case, I did not read anything believe it or not.
I am playing with the idea you're just easy elimbait, but what an odd question to ask.
Second, less Fidget based, but something Fidget picked up here is that Bell's kind of doing a fake townslip there too with the 'not knowing if scum have a nightkill' comment. Feels like that didn't really get a reaction. Hey Fidget, can you go a little more into where your solid Bell townread comes from because it feels like you handed it out quickly, and it feels a little (not completely but a little) at odds with your Noraa perspective.
Yes, that is what I was getting at. I decided I was fine with his reaction and by the time I was back in the thread, I had Noraa to focus on in any case.
With regards to townreading Bell, I liked his tone which did slightly go against the thread pairing him w/ Noraa at the time. Let me see if I can tell exactly what I meant when I townread him.
Ah, I cannot help but like posts like these. Makes me feel like scum doesn't say them (even if sure, they could), especially when I'm thinking Noraa is scum.Spoiler:
I had an issue with Noraa immediately after reading the post that looked like an attempted townslip. I noticed while skimming she got a couple of votes for that but needless to say I agreed. I'm curious what makes it seem like my issue with Noraa escalated after seeing others' reactions. I usually read starting where I was, post, keep reading, post as I go. Mayyyybe that, or maybe I'm missing exactly what I did.In post 1745, Hopkirk wrote:
I'm not sure how natural Fidget's progression reads since they had a problem with Noraa, but got a much bigger problem with her after it became clear pretty much everyone did.In post 300, Fidget wrote:I like Bell's tone, but pointing that out ruins the Noraa coaching/bussing joke so I'll shelve that for later.
YouIn post 166, Noraa wrote:Taylor - town for realizing that this isn't AI due to previous experience playing with me
Murder - null bc he didn't realize it wasn't AI even tho he has played with me before but the paranoia towards shelly is very town bc when playing with shelly, it is nerve-racking trying to determine if you're being absolutely fooled or if you are judging too much and she's actually town. I feel this paranoia all the way after one scum game with her where she told me about all her evil plans in the scum pt and after one town game where I was fooled by her big time. Something that town pings + something that scum pings cancel out and so I am null but prolly town lean still.
Pooky - town because I believe he believes in his SR on me and scum wouldn't bc scum knows who their scum buddies are.
Lexi - null. I still dislike the discord argument. Lexi's been more eager to push me than Pooky has which tbh is a bit strange considering normally the one that starts it is the biggest on pushing it :/
Isis - town because the tone is towny and I relate to some of those posts in that I would say something similar in her position
Bell - townie confusion. could be faked but I'm willing to believe it is real for now
Shelly - scum for misrepping people and also for throwing shade at pooky yet never voting pooky.
Vaultdweller - scum. can't quite put my finger on what's wrong here but I'm def getting scum pings.
Hopkirk - null but lean scum. dislike the jumping on all biggest wagons for no reason.reallydon't want to die, do you?
I don't like that you went offline just when I wanted to interact with you Noraa :(- Fidget

If I am deepwolfing scum right now, that is going to end if Noraa is town. Feels like I got into a lot of town bins for the Noraa stuff, or at least that's what I remember.In post 1749, shellyc wrote:this is ordered from left to right in tiers btw
yeah fidget could be deepwolfing but their tone reads as solvy and rather proactive
Oh, you meant the large reply to Noraa, and not the "Tayl0r and Pooky stahp" post? That makes way more sense. I think my WIM is higher as scum so my posts tend to effort more, and that might be a way to seem like I'm high-efforting.In post 1761, Bell wrote:As for fidget, I’m not building a case as to why those sorts of large posts are scum motivated or how shelly’s reaction is exactly the sort of thing that those posts are designed to incite feelings in. It’s not strong though! And he insisted that this is the first time I’ve met a town player that makes a post like that and I don’t feel super inclined to disbelieve them.
In this case, I wanted to reply to Noraa but it turned into condensing my reads someplace partway through. My original intent was to ensure I wasn't ignoring Noraa, but I may as well use the opportunity to figure out where I stand on all the players.
No. Well. Maybe. White knighty shelly.In post 1785, Bell wrote:

Yes.In post 1791, Hopkirk wrote: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.
Shelly has a really good ability to make me want to vote her every game. But I was just going over why Noraa also makes me do that. This feels bad. I'd love for@Bellto expound on how he lockscummed shelly, unless he did already in which I will find it later.
Oh. Guess I'll have to think for myself on that one.In post 1815, Bell wrote:Maybe after the game and if you flip red I’ll share.In post 1822, Hopkirk wrote:
I'd like to wagon someone yes.

You’re kind of like somebody who wants to control the game but I don’t respond well to what you’re doing. So I’m tactfully side stepping you.
Hopkirk smells a partnership since I dropped the possible forged townslip accusation from you earlier, I think.In post 1824, Bell wrote:If I wanted that wagon I would be trying to make that wagon, no?

My problem with this game is that I followed it for the first 15 pages or so, then it blew up when I was offline. I skimmed through what I could, but after 45 pages we were still gungho for Noraa. The game seems most active while I'm sleeping, and I don't just sit here and read pages on pages of mafia in my free time. So now I pretty much have no idea on what the plan is.- Toogeloo

Noraa is a go, the main disagreement seems to come from whether we put her up first or game it and put her last. Those who aren't 100% sure of Noraa being scum generally vote for Noraa going first. Those who are certain Noraa is scum generally vote for counterwagons so Noraa can be hit third.
Pooky and Tayl0r are 1v1ing where Pooky wants to have Tayl0r nominated, choose him, and then he chooses Noraa. Tayl0r doesn't like this plan and Hopkirk pointed out why it doesn't make much sense for her to take.
Adorable is the largest CW, she had some awkward interactions with Noraa early. There might be other reasons.
Bell has a big scumread on shelly. Shelly also has a big one on Bell I think.- Noraa

No. I cannot at all know what I would do as scum here. I'm an unpredictable player. Literally can't even read myself or understand why I do half the things I do as town. My best guess would be that as scum, I'd be pushing some LHF or Taylor hard rn. The reason for pushing LHF is obvious. Those are easy to mislim and as long as someone else is already on that LHF, I can just hide in the shadows and give it a small push. The reason for pushing Taylor is because I can say she is scum TMI-ing. I have actually thought about that this game that maybe she really was scum TMI-ing but Mush had the exact same thought process and I highly doubt the scum team has both of them. Town me wouldn't push her because 1)she TRs me and that makes me feel too bad to SR her and 2)I feel like at least someone believes meIn post 1728, Hopkirk wrote:@Noraa - I'm online and going through stuff and want to interact with you a bit in real time. Idk if I'm starting to buy that 'hard effortposting Noraa' on the last five or so pages feels like town. Can you describe how you feel scum you would react in this scenario (basically to this whole game). literally just shoot me up with a post full of AOE? Also, please don't shoot Lady. I know you don't like their play this game, but it's a town slot and really doesn't have the influence you think.
scum me would likely deflect to her right now bc I can, as murder said, I can justify it by saying something like "eyyy this be scum TMI-ing"
Btw you are trying so hard to shift attention that it makes me think ur a big hypocrite. You talk to me exactly like how Murder does except you yourself have been tunneled by LLD before. In fact, you panicked quite a bit when the pressure on you was legit the tiniest speck of dust compared to the pressure placed on me. And I take it you aren't even a noob. Take some time and think about a town!noraa situation cuz you aren't. You are just going with the flow and sussing me when I 100% feel like if LLD had gone thru with the tunneling, you would be dead meat rn. Think about how it feels to have people just be like "Stop fighting. I don't give a shit that you try hard. You're dead now stfu" If you are town, you should be able to understand why I am reacting the way I am.
So tell me Uno. On this day was bad right? I was widely SRed and went down really fast.In post 1737, UNOwen wrote:
Eh, my enduring memory from On This Day is that you kept swinging way after everyone had confirmed-scum you and in _______ you certainly did make a read list despite being done for, it is etched in my mind as about 20% of the reason I got paranoid at the end. I suppose they were not as substantial as this game though.In post 1726, Noraa wrote:On this day and _____ that has ended except mod hasn't checked thread yet
so thats two scum games that I promised reads yet never really gave them a high efforted one like promised
Q: Why did you think that I should not view you as scum in this game based on the games we have played (at the point you asked me)?
But then after 2 entire scum games, I went into So many bats and what happened? I was widely TRed. If it weren't for a weak fn targeting me, do you really think I would've died that fast? My playstyle got so much better and I literally fooled everyone to hell and back. You really think it would get twenty billion times worse this fast? I literally 100% of the time make it to endgame if I am scum unless someone guilties me. Does that really not say something about my scum game?
My town game is bullshit compared to my scum game. It is very obvious. Uno you should know. Plus this may be a bad argument but like ... you really think all three games you play with me I will be scum? No. I think you are just being paranoid like duppin. Sure, both games he SRed me in(that have finished), I was scum. But I absolutely think it was paranoia against me that resulted in those. My scum game gets me universally TRed. My town game gets me universally SRed. I think its very clear what's up.

I read shelly wrong in roses and whatever the one that just finished was called(ffery modded it)
But ... I'm getting a lot of scum vibes. These aggressive pushes on me remind me a ton of scum!shelly tunneling. The prob is that I thought shelly was scum in the game ffery modded for tunneling my slot but she was a JKer :/
I want to hear some cases on shelly bc there are times where I am certain she is an alignment but this one isn't one of those....

And to be perfectly honest, even if I do read them, you won't change my mind that you are still the best person to eliminate today, and the other 2 are just additional information.
You've added too much of a question mark to be ignored at the beginning of the game. No amount of work you put in now will change that, and you need to be sorted.- Noraa
