As someone who knows the flavor, she pretty much claimed without claiming.

And it's just outright awkward

Btw this is public info, so Noraa waiting until now to have asked such an important question about this super duper exciting role? Even if she weren't already confirmed scum, this would be a bad look.

This is actually what caught bork in Illicit... not that ffery listened to me about it.

Maybe with 2014 era cabd you might have! Or maybe if I wasn't on like... a SHITTON of painkillers and feeling very go with the flow.

It's actually really hard not to just fullclaim and get this fucker to night two already but here I am being good.
what do we actually want to get done before we send this to night phase again? i'm fine w/ nora vote, that was the one read i had during the night b/c she DS'd the cakez vote

It's not about the fact she forgot what her flavor was, it's just that it looks fabricated based on the way she said it. Her name is Poppy. I called her Poopie idk I don't know the flavor let me read my PM.

Yeah, don't claim like Special or Driver/Blade, let's just claim links, maybe Blades should claim? I don't know how we should go about that.

1: Noraa's driver to confirm the targeting and results were shared
2: I want to put out that drivers should target me only on even nights, so you are welcome to come visit me tonight if you'd like. All you'll get is a hood but those are really strong gamesolving tools right now!
3: I want to hear more from the lurkmass. Specifically, I want more out of Maria, LLD, Beeboy, Noname, and Dunn. (DUnn's content tonight is a good start though!)
4: I want to clarify that Flavor Leaf is VERY fucking town this game, don't kill him, kthnx.

This sequence is out of his range for sure imo
My initial reaction to this WITHOUT the reread is "But like, Cakez was defo going down by then and gamma was gonna be the obvtown counterwagon that would be called globally town, why would you vote it at this point?"
I think it's really weird how you go between giving Guillotina a lot of credit here, and then absolutely zero in others. Cakez defo going down contradicts the later vote carousel w/ Noraa->LLD->Cakez. I think Guillotina's demonstrated level+his struggle with keeping up with the game to begin with suggest that even if he saw Cakez was going down, spending 15 minutes reading Gamma just to defend him makes zero sense.

What your expectations are from this slot as scum-high, low, somewhere in between?

I think we need to keep drivers hidden because blades are useless without them. Unless they’re pairing with scummy people then it’s their fault.

Think guillatina is a high quality player masquerading as a middle quality player.

I am certainly not nearly as certain about this read as I was cakez, or as I am about Noraa.

Hence the tiered list.

In post 3043, midwaybear wrote:Really curious who this driver was...already have some suspicions
if my driver wants to claim, they can.
okay so at a certain point I realized based on the results Noraa got it was better to make this clear earlier rather than later, yes I was her driver, and I also received the same information she did from her action.
In addition there's some stuff I feel like talking about that she said in our link PT. She talked about trying to bait NK on her, and the way she's described her ability has a sort of variability I think is more likely to be town just not focusing on the same detail vs. scum failing to keep their story straight. I'd compared her in another game to Tywin Lannister in Mini Normal 1905, who had claimed rolecop but called himself cop a few times. I feel like that sort of inconsistency is more towny because it's semi-stable with the claim but it means they aren't so worried about consistency that they aren't filtering down every little thing that doesn't line up about what they are saying.
Another thing I'd like to discuss involves how I perceived her power she used as strong. After I saw what it actually did, I changed my mind about it. But I can definitely see how that could be the perception if thinking about it as a rolecop. But it essentially is a blade cop, which isn't nearly as powerful, except for drivers I guess, to clarify possible targets for linking. She'd said she'd get on looking at who would be told her investigative result exactly, but she never told me, and idk if clarifying it publicly is wise? I'll leave it to her. That also is why I figured I'd claim, so I wouldn't get leered at for concealing that I knew the same thing she did, which actually has a tangible effect for me.
We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go...That's who I am.

Mmmm, that's fair. My expectations are definitely a lot lower, and Reagan seems to think the same even though MU's aversion to bussing bothers him+the plurality voting there making the strategy you're describing more plausible.

At the risk of being offensive to Guillotina I just...don't see him even thinking to think that many layers deep to begin with. It has nothing to do with someone's intelligence or anything like that, it's just picking up on+correctly reacting to those currents that you're describing w/r/t the Gamma vote comes with a lot more experience.

I think the way he replaced out also shows this. He clearly had very little clue of what was going on this game to begin with, the pace was very much not what he expected.

I am 100% NOT OKAY with eliminating Noraa here. If you do so and she flips town I will make an effort to comandeer this game's direction assuming I have the energy to and don't get drowned out. Because Noraa is obvtown to me and eliminating her over someone who is NOT obvtown makes me really skeptical of whether I want to continue following your lead.

will just say it's explicitly not true, they're nooby as hell, like i said, seen some of his games offsite on MU, not an alt or anything. can link the profile but that site's search function sucks ass. that said i disagree with the VP in that i think there's a chance he could be scum anyway
