hmm VOTE: isis that's a really off thing to focus on your part
pedit: jesus christ this game is moving fast
I had the same question Gloria had (that you didn't answer) when I read this - what did Gloria being an alt change for you and why did it matter? That comment felt kinda odd.

Don't worry, I've got a good record of guessing Hectic's setup gimmicks in advance.

I tried to strongly hint this and get confirmation d1. I died n1 after telling Hectic I was sure of this. I think it was early d3 that anyone else considered this.
At the moment it could be anything though. Maybe after we yeet one or two people they get to pick who's scum to avenge them.

Ydrasse how about you and Jessie pave the way to greatness with your votes?
Jessie -- yes. what is it that you like about Ydrasse?

Woah woah woah slow down there, I never said I liked Ydrasse, I'm just asking her to lead the way as my senior in this game since I noticed she isn't voting anybody

Um being right about something that town wouldn't have a good reason to know is kind of suspicious no? Why would Jessie do that?
It's the same logic than why you find parteners scummy, and just like bussing, like, peoples do it because they think it's normal to notice that kind of stuff
I'm not a Gypyx fan from the exchange over this. He feels kind of focused/detached form the loveliness of the thread, taking a surgical approach to it instead.
if u put the entire game in a townbloc except like 2-3 ppl who go in a process of elimination, that's just another way to play. I end up doing it like that a lot..

i suppose i tend to find it towny when someone points to past things that have already occured and say they don't come from scum, as opposed to saying future things they won't do
.. think that makes sense
Try and get as many townreads as possible, accept a deepwolf getting in there, then work through the POE? I like the sound of that.

Yes! That's my playstyle because i am terrible at finding scum. the only issues that arise are A.) sometimes i get scum in the PoE, but miss inside of the PoE and B.) i am bad at reevaluating already cemented townreads so finding any deepwolves is pain
Or maybe it's because i used to give out townreads way too easily. i tell myself i don't do that anymore, but then wonder what went wrong when I run out of people I'm
Looks like that game was a test run for silent star. Personally I spent most of day 1 in my run of it trying to hint at something with another player through word associations that I thought another scum would pick up on while doing setup spec with them and trying to hint in a way other scum would see.
It sounds like it was a trial run for silent star 1. I think in the one I'm talking about, all of the town were just told they didn't know their partners and didn't have the factional kill (but were sided with the scum).

not
townreading
Also how I've said I like to do it in the past. Nice.
What I've found helpful is the realization that most the scum are usually inside your light townreads- people you aren't scumreading but don't feel like they should be put in the locktown block.
That is what it reminds me of When you list a bunch of town which are generally consensus reads, say you should be townreading someone but don't act on that, two people's interactions are weird etc.

I townread all of those slots except Ydrasse (who 3 of my TRs and several other people TR so is town) very early in. Do you have any specific problems with my progression or the reads on them, because I was one of the first to state most of those reads. Shading me for having common townreads when it's more of a townblock is really odd.
I'm acting on it by saying it and paying attention to responses. I don't understand what you mean by 'not acting on it'. You can fish for responses without a vote, sometimes it works even better.
Plus I'm voting someone I have bad pings on for other reasons? I don't like how you're trying to shade me not voting Skitter30/Gloria?
I know that game was silent star. It was in the title. I never said anything that remotely implied I didn't know this?
In post 509, Hopkirk wrote:The Skitter30/Gloria interactions tasted a bit weird.
Can you explain this for me though. Are you suspecting Skitter too?
Gloria obvtowned in 20 posts last time we played and hasn't in 90 this game to me. That's a cause for concern.
Skitter30 I haven't played with, but she feels like she's occupying the light-town zone that scum crawl into. I want a lot more from her.
Also as I've said, my style is gather a solid set of townreads then do POE.
Awaiting responses. Feel free to throw in as much toxicity as you want because it'll make me cry and then Isis will be happy.

Skitter/Gloria both read aren't jumping out as obvtown but are giving slight townpings which concerns me. I'd like to sort both through the art of talking and/or sheeping
I'm not going to put any stock in associative pre flip 2 days into a game, but their pushes on neither of their pushes on each other screamed town.
Skitter/Dunnstral is always a possibly too.
pedit - I already had a meh read on Taylor and I feel like you came into this intending to try and start a minor conflict with me then intended to back off. Skitter30 I have as null at the moment.
Skitter30/Dunnstral is partially serious based on me thinking 'I wonder if Skitter30 knew about the Taylor ban so quickly because partners', and your question choice on me. It was also in part a joke about me saying 'whoa it's too early for associatives' then mentioning another associative - so I'd have tried to find an associative between you and someone there even if that wasn't there.

Yes. You were the only person I quoted there and there's questions either asked or implied.
(The last line isn't intended to imply you're toxic at all, its in reference to something Isis said earlier. Plus I was talking to Flopz the other day so I've got those major flashes of intense toxic 1v1s just flashing through my head).

I haven't read enough to know you were the first to form these reads, if so then I guess I'm wrong on what I was saying.
You have a good point against Gloria
Your read on Skitter doesn't make sense - you are suspicious because she's light town?
You are voting by yourself right now so it doesn't seem as productive, but everyone has scattered votes/aren't voting right now for reasons I guess.
In post 520, Hopkirk wrote:Skitter30/Dunnstral is partially serious based on me thinking 'I wonder if Skitter30 knew about the Taylor ban so quickly because partners',
Doesn't really make sense, the mod wouldn't announce a replacement in a scum pt instead of the game thread
Early on, not specifically the first for all, but I had those 3 townread/developing TRs before I went to bed last night. Ydrasse also got added more recently.
To restate, I'm not yet 'suspicious' of Skitter30, I thought I clarified that. I'm null-town reading her, and given my gut null-town at this stage of the game flip scum more than my guy scum reads at this stage, and because she hasn't jumped out as townie yet, she's someone I'm cautious off. I've also been told Skitter30 is very good, so caution. I think Hectic had in his top (somewhere between 1-3) of either players or scumplayers.
I don't see why scattering votes a bit is bad. This is one day into the game. Plus if I voted either of them then that would be a lone wagon? Wouldn't you criticize a vote on either of them as a lone vote in the same way as you are this one?
Scum partner would be marginally more likely to notice/discuss the replace out I'd say. This isn't more than a 0.5% movement in a read though, just why I picked that pairing since I needed

Because then I can be a problem on a global scale :3 Kesslar Syndrome is scary af.
Gloria's a meanie. Asking anyone to review that game even in ISOs should be considered a punishment. [As awesome as it was just ye gods the shitposting was real.]
I don't get why this is scummy for Gloria just seems like a lighthearted way to let Flea talk about the game
