Silent Star 3: Royalty

[Gloria Cleary]

Disagree with you on Skitter.

what do you like about skitts so far?

It’s kind of a gut thing and I’ve read a few of her scum games and she tends to do wolfy type tunnels rather than reaction testing different slots.

[Gloria Cleary]

can you work this into your theory somehow pooky? pretty please?

I can't say no to you.

How would you like to be cast?

Princess
Hero
Forbidden Love
Amnesiac Princess
Secret Lost Princess
Unlikey Hero
Villain

I want to be Unlikely Secretly Amnesic Lost Hoctac.

[skitter30]

i thought so :C

It's the hopkirk im familar with from the past couple of his towngames

i'm not sure i really see it, and i don't really like his positioning around me and gloria yesterday

~

I think she would be.

I don't see Hectic making her an anti-town role but I could be wrong here :3

I did not like 377 from Infinity.

It feels like he is not happy about how fast the townblock has grown :3

well, per the op, all town players are vanilla, so i'm not sure how accurate your theory is, but i like the creativity!

i kinda vibe with what infinity said. or, more accurately, at that point in the game *i* did not feel like there was an overly large townbloc, but that's a vibe i get p often as town ( i sometimes just have games where i feel like i'm townreading waaaaaay too many people), so i can understand a town player feeling that way

also if he were scum with that complaint i imagine he would be trying harder to undermine said townbloc, which i didn't really see happen

[skitter30]

Yeah but why does scum!Infinity voice that unhappiness? surely it'd be leagues better to like, attack the townreads directly rather than just voice dissatisfaction with it

maybe he felt better to pump the brakes and express distrust rather than attack someone specifically?

I would've been way happier with him if he had actually pointed to someone being townread by everyone that seemed to him that they shouldn't be town-read rather than a general statement of dissatisfaction.

i kinda felt like the fact that he did not really follow that statement up with an attack on anyone was townie - it felt more like a transient thought that just popped into his head so he just said it instead of scum going otu of their way to cast doubt on a townbloc that nobody had formalized yet

[skitter30]

hm?

well you posted more in between, which made me change my mind

[skitter30]

skitter's reaction was, she doesn't even think Ydrasses is scum, but she cares a lot whether my point was stupid anyway.
VOTE: skitter

right, and complaining against an argument i dislike is scummy because ...
(or more accurately, is scummy for *me* because ...)

The discussion around the infinity comment made me realize shading a townblock for size without picking anyone can like, benefit scum without putting oneself in harm's way and that make sense

i dislike this

TGP's readslist makes no sense and what I remember of their posting doesn't make much sense, and on balance I lean towards it being a scummy thing I don't understand instead of a townie thing I don't understand. Apparently Dunnstral and skitter were my comrades in terms of voting their so when I don't have my fingers wrapped around it composition might be something to think about.
Jessie mostly hasn't towntold yet and has touched on a lot of topics where I'd expect her to have towntold. I think Infinity is the one with the sig where where posting long enough without towntelling is a scumtell. I'd sooner vote there than revote TGP at this point I think.
Dunnstral is mildly scummy but I've reached a point where I kind of treat him unfairly [well] in my games if he's not a 13/10 on lurking and scummy potshotting because he sometimes turns on midgame and has really good reads, and lots of times when you elim him for seeming scummy he's actually town, he just has that playstyle. I'm not gonna expect others to hold to that though.
Gypyx seems scummy for the way he was scrabbling with setup spec stuff it's a bit cognitive load scummy to count through the wifom of claiming hidden information so slowly. I don't have a lot from him yet though.

ok reading more i kinda dislike all of this ...
your reads are fluffy and you're using 'nuance' to hide the fact that you're not actually commiting to anything

[skitter30]

VOTE: skitter

Skitter’s been bothering me and maybe if I vote with isis it’ll actually go somewhere

Why is 413 a townpost jessie?

go on

[Infinity 324]

Perfect timing, do you want to explain how isis is “disguising” how she’s not committing to anything? Because that seems pretty apparent in her post.

[skitter30]

because it shows that gypyx was like following from step to step and it asks a very good question for someone unaware of silent star: menagerie

i'm not sure this is 'town indicative' so much as 'asking a reasonable followup' indicative

VOTE: skitter

Skitter’s been bothering me and maybe if I vote with isis it’ll actually go somewhere

Why is 413 a townpost jessie?

Can you tell me why?

I guess it’s cause she hasn’t really done anything town.

it's ok, if you wait a bit more i will eventually become an un-limmable shining beacon of towniness, it sometimes just takes a bit more to kick in than other games

Isis looking at broad strokes instead of nitpicking and doing stream-of-consciousness are towntells for her from what I’ve seen

idk her meta well enough to know what she's likely to do as town but she hedged on like all but two of the reads she gave

pedit i think that hedging on like all of your reads is scummy

[skitter30]

tgp looks like a gypyx partner

[Infinity 324]

She didn’t hedge on her ydrasse read

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

well, per the op, all town players are vanilla, so i'm not sure how accurate your theory is, but i like the creativity!

I did not see that.

Well I guess I will have to adjust the Princess role to "Lost Amnesiac Princess" who thinks she is a VT then!

[skitter30]

Perfect timing, do you want to explain how isis is “disguising” how she’s not committing to anything? Because that seems pretty apparent in her post.

or to clarify a bit more what i mean: when i'm scum i basically hedge on all my reads by giving a reason why it could go either way, it gives me room to change my trajectory as needed. and by having this stream of consciousness type 'nuance' it looks townie without actually committing to anything
and her post looks exactly like that

pedit int he like 8 reads she gave in those two posts she hedged on nearly all of them

[skitter30]

I finished catching up and I agree with TGP's defense of Gypyx not making enough sense, in a scummy way. I like Jessie's version a lot better.

I felt like they really wanted me to believe gypyx was town, what do you think?

this is a good way of saying it, yes

[skitter30]

Ok i'm here catchup time

did this, like, go anywhere?

why is dunn a leading wagon again?

[skitter30]

i still like my tgp vote

[Infinity 324]

pedit int he like 8 reads she gave in those two posts she hedged on nearly all of them

Fair, but she directed a lot of focus towards slots that haven’t posted a lot and are difficult to get a solid read on (gypyx, dunn, tgp, jessie)

[skitter30]

and you
and her reasons for voting me are kinda bad

and holistically when i look at those two posts i see a lot of circuitious words that dont' lead to conclusions

[Dunnstral]

Ok i'm here catchup time

did this, like, go anywhere?

why is dunn a leading wagon again?

Without having read, let me guess: Is it the combo of the guy I suspected and the guy I voted who jumped on me?

[Gloria Cleary]

She didn’t hedge on her ydrasse read

or me.

[Gloria Cleary]

Anyone play with Hopkirk as scum? I’m only familiar with his town meta. Wrt to TGP, only connection I see with Gypyx other than TGP hard defending him, is that they both seem to be focused on Jessie but neither has voted there.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I've never seen Hopkirk play scum.

I kind of assume by now he's affected by Hectic's supreme town aura.

Or there's just a magical force shield over England that keeps the boys over there from getting red pms.

[Dunnstral]

i think the entire concept of a d1 townbloc is flawed, although the relative naturalness of it makes me question it far less. gypyx and gloria look town, as do ydrasse and infinity. i'm really going back and forth on pooky, but settling in on a slight townlean on them. hopkirk is still town, and i'm much less confident in isis, so VOTE: dunnstral this slot has been fairly bad from the beginning and has not gotten better.

I don't think TGP is town and this post deserves pressure

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

That's a weird thing to say.

[team rocket queen]

106 would be a randomly selected post that might've contained townspew but doesn't

ah, so this one:

was i meant to take the setup speculation to extremes?

If you get to recruit scumpartners pregame and you don't recruit Jesse you're throwing because she's excellent at scum!

do you actually believe this?

No, this is hyperbole. I think you're great at scumplay but you in no way would be the only good choice in this playerlist

i meant the 'she's excellent at scum' bit but it seems you've answered that in your reply.
