Newbie 2037 - Game Over

[Facebones]

What are your reads on Billy, Mr. Stral?
Anything standing out to you right now?

[ItalianoVD]

Sorry for not being here. I’ll catch up on what’s going on.

[ItalianoVD]

My justification is that you are giving analysis but it doesn't to anything. You are going with the flow and keeping up with the conversation,

I agree 100%. I was thinking this about Norfolk, but wanted to give him time, which he hasn’t done.

[Dunnstral]

Excellent read there, but also one that could easily be attributed to yourself, mini, bakslash and maybe padwag.

What is your reaction to this?

It's deflection

[ItalianoVD]

Italiano, what do you think of minimegabyte? (If you have no opinion on them that's fine)

I played with Mini twice I believe and she was townie both times. I haven’t really seen her scum game before so I wouldn’t know what to look for, but as of now I’m townreading her.

Can you talk more about this?
What do you find towny about her so far?

Well as I said I’ve played with her two times as town and she is playing similar to the way she was then. The fact that she challenged me for my RQS questioning shows she’s not worried about ruffling feathers, which I believe she knows wouldn’t be good if she was scum, given that I can tunnel hard.

[ItalianoVD]

There's a really good chance that scum exists outside of {bakslash, padwag}.

Agreed.

[ItalianoVD]

My ghost vote is on Norfolk Boy right now, but I don’t wanna put him at E-1 yet in case there’s a quickhammer.

[Facebones]

Did you miss 219?

Hello? Earth to Italiano? I

'M NOT INVISIBLE, BRO

That's twice now, man. Have you not been paying attention?!

[padwag]

When did I ever "jump on the defensive"?

*snickers*

[padwag]

VOTE: padwag

Actually no, this was worse

VOTE: bakslash

Not sure where your head is on this? RVS? Serious?

I dont understand the question. I dont approach these games as though there's some magical point where the game shifts from RVS to serious. Theres a wiki thread I think that talks about the early game as the Low Information stage. I like to think of it that way.

Okay? Not sure why you don’t understand. I was asking if these votes were RVS votes or serious ones? I assumed your bakslash one was based on the wording, but I just wanted to make sure. My bad if I didn’t make it clear.

I started with my role and alignment, and I voted randomly. When I made those votes, I had a page of content and most folks had popped into the thread. So I picked the opening that I felt was the most scummy and voted it. I thought padwag's vote was fine,

but the answer to the question was weird.

How was it weird? Isn’t that what RVS’ purpose is? Reactions?

But then I realized that bakslash hadnt posted already. Their first post in the game was literally to quote padwag's naked vote and put a question mark. Didn't engage with any of the content that was there, just put a weird question out.

That’s all fine. Thank you.

Forgot to respond to the middle question.

Two times people in this game have done something that they claim was a reaction test then within five posts, have explained that it was a reaction test. I dont believe either of them. By the way, this is why I voted padwag. Not because he did an rvs vote, but because he claimed he was doing a reaction test where he got the most predictable reaction, and then before he could see if anyone else.would react to it, he admitted it was a reaction test. Like that's looking busy to look busy.

Then rockhopper votes bakslash, "to see how he would respond" and doesn't even give bakslash a chance to respond before saying thats why he put him there. Honestly both those moves look like searching for town cred.

Honestly, I said it was a reaction test because I didn't want to leave bakslash hanging.

You said you did that for reactions. What AI type of reactions did you think you were likely to get and from whom?

I was looking for reactions from bakslash, particularly something overly defensive, which would signal scum.

[padwag]

I'm getting more townie feels from rockhopper currently

Wanna form a townblock?

Honestly, I feel this isn't how townblocks are supposed to work. A townblock is an agreement that forms gradually between two players, without a formal request, where they will townread each other and defend each other through anything. This feels more like buddying to me.

I’m not sure what you want me to say or do.

[padwag]

Spoiler:

Facebones, what do you think of rockhopper?

Italiano, what do you think of minimegabyte? (If you have no opinion on them that's fine)

I have a question based on these posts.
Why do you feel the need to ask what players think of others?

This is one method I use to get reads from people. Sometimes, they bring up points that I didn't even think of, and it can generate productive conversations as well.

[Facebones]

I’m not sure what you want me to say or do.

I want you to realise that one of the three players who had a vote on old mate Norfolk took their vote off him and placed it on someone else

[Norfolk Boy1]

Rocky, Dunnstral and Italiano - if i'm scum, who is my scumbuddy?

[ItalianoVD]

VOTE: Norfolk Boy1

Here is my gut scumread

Dunnstral made it E-2. I obviously missed something o why don’t you make it clear for me to understand. You’re comments are very vague and I don’t follow.

I'm sorry if it was unclear. Hope this clarifies things

[Facebones]

I mean, technically it's 4 not voting now, but you get it, right?

[Norfolk Boy1]

Town don't dodge questions and if you're town, you need to find 2 scum.

So, go on - who are you currently reading for scum role 2?
