Also if you want me to start moving my vote around you have some convincing to do.
Being coy with why I shouldn't vote someone is not going to work here.
PEDIT - Btw are we discussing that super weird conversation earlier?
I remember BM being a part of it but I can't recall who the other participant was.
I can dig it up though I'm sure.
Though I think Gamma may have been the one to initially point it out.

Yes, this game has way more VCs than most (which is great.)

I want to write up a thing on Haschel instead, but I don't want to just leave you two hanging on too many things. Just the one thing.

I need to pry Gamma off me and just do the two things I wanted to do in this game before going to bed.

And I have my reasons. If I explained my reasons they would be irrelevant in this case.

Nevermind, I got the conversation you guys are talking about mixed up with a conversation between MC and BM.
If anyone cares, and for my own notes, it was on page 64.
Anyways.
@Akarin - how is it that explaining why you townread someone make you not townread someone anymore?
That doesn't make
any
sense.

Ok I feel encouraged to actually play the game now based on another game ending recently and some feedback about my play in it. Please unvote me, I would like to actually avoid being miselimed. My LAMIST play is to actually look back over the VCs and try to make something from the wagons as I do think no elim is more likely to come from town as scum probably want to push for miselims still. Early game is all mech talk, I am looking at wagons that reach 4 votes, as those actually have some weight behind them.

In VC 1.29, there is a wagon that reaches 4 votes on BM. Members of the wagon are OutWorldER, Flea, DG, and Blitzo.
Spoiler: BM votes

I mostly went with the Titus wagon to get things off this mech talk and encourage town to ditch the awful No Elim plan.

Already it's paid off since we've got more tangible things to go after and our positions in the game now are not solely based on support/opposition for the Pooky/Ali plan, at least for the people involved in this wagon.

I had reservations about Titus's posting before this recent bout since it feels like she should've at least had some weigh-in on the mech posting but this recent streak seems mostly like standard Titus.

Titus's points against BM ring true and considering his stances earlier his flip will help us sort the Pooky/Ali plan so I'm on board there.

Who do you think are the scum on/were on your wagon outside of Battle Mage or is BM the only read you've got there?

These votes are all pretty weak, even the surrounding context doesn't add much. I like Outworlder's the best and I think that any of the others could come from scum, but are generally NAI.

BM stayed at 4 votes until VC 1.37 because

The Taly vote isn't really pushing a scum agenda at all nor does it come off as trying to look towny, so I guess it is worth some town points for DGB?

The next wagon to hit 4 votes is blitzo in VC 1.39

Option A has a big problem here. Can anybody else see what it is?

Her reads in 580 are terrible, too. Misrepresentation of my game + Wildly overreacting to BM's 254 + Appeal to meta + 3 reads with literally no substance behind them.
Unvote; Vote: Titus


Taly is by far my strongest townread for being the person who is visibly doing the most scumhunting. OutWorldER looks good too for similar reasons and also I like a lot of his posts.

That's all for now.

goshdarn Titus, are you going to kill me? :lol:
Nope but given tasks can repeat, we may have the same task (if you're town). If not, you can't use your bonus kill on me. So I'm uneasily ok with staying with you.
We may have the same task if you're town... Scum might just mimic you and pretend to have the same task.
Then theres the "Well you can't bonus kill me, but I guess I'm ok with this..." which is a little odd? TMI or paranoid... not sure.

In post 580, Titus wrote:If I get mislimmed day one, there's little I can do. I have accepted that with this game state. I have an easy task if I slowly post day 2.

That being said, I do feel my wagon is scum driven though. Consensus is gathering around no elimination but yet people vote me for actually voting for it.

Here are my actual weak reads though.

HC is scum riding off town Reck's coattails to disrupt the game.

BM is scum for waiting on a consensus before voting me. His position on me is just hot garbage in his ISO. He appeared fine when it was just me and him going to electrical but sad when Ali was added to the mix. That would have three in electrical. Removing me makes two in electrical.

Taly and Flea are town because of their metas.

Pooky and Alisae are town.

Cakez is town.
WRONG! There's a LOT you can do, you know, like sharing information and reads, giving town information to work with and stuff.
HC read seems legit, BM read is suspicious at this point.

Reading me as town because of my meta....

Lets go further into this. I'm not a huge fan of meta because it's adaptable and exploitable.
I have 2 completed games on site as of this point I believe, 3 at most.
First game is my newbie game where I'm all over the damn place
Second game is Death Curse. I was a heavy lurker, when I did post it wasn't much until I came under threat and it was again, all over the place. This is also where I decided to change up my play style.
Third game was The Council, School Edition. I posted LOTS and streamed my thoughts fairly well and stubbornly latched on to Ali/Taly's hydra, ultimately getting NK'd night 1.

The Council is the closest to my play here, but still different enough to not be considered my play here.
Could you justify your meta read on me?
In post 592, Titus wrote:
In post 585, SirCakez wrote:Personally I feel OER or Bell are the more likely scums there, not BM
I find Bell's take on me interesting. It's more NAI but suggests a genuine fear of me. If he's town, he knows I can pull some pretty outrageous shit and would fear me. If he's scum, he knows he needs to shade me out of the gate due to my late game prowess if given space.

Starting a train on me serves both purposes.

I don't really have an alignment read on Bell for that reason.
Self meta'ing to read another player is genuinely interesting...

In post 591, OutWorldER wrote:I'm still in vehement disagreement of No Elim being good here, especially considering recent events.

At the very least, I'd like to flip somebody with hard stances on it, flip Me/Reck or Pooky/Ali. Then use the alignment to determine who's right.
This thinking is a fallacy. It supposes all town think correctly and all scum push incorrectly. It also supposes one correct path. The correct path is to force scum into claiming tasks or get eliminated. This puts us closer towards winning regardless of who is right. Right now, there are no tasks to claim.
This is also interesting, and I'm curious how this would play out.
Given Titus is keen on BM scum I would think she'd push here. Self claimed to be dependant on data she's still on no lim instead of pushing for data.

EUUUUUUGH I did not want to come into this and get a scum read. I was coming in here hoping for a townlean...

The HC read seems strong for what evidence is presented, but still nolim?
Like this is WEIRD to me.

In post 1063, Akarin wrote:SIGH

I wasn't at any point suggesting going to random rooms.

The assumption of random is that everyone just doing one of their tasks amounts to random rooms, assuming roughly equal distribution of tasks among the rooms.
Except it doesn't. For instance, Alisae has two tasks. One takes her to electrical the other to another room. By actively selecting electrical, we force a room of three (assuming BM lives).

That's a strong reason for BM to live. He has to try and complete his one task and can have another passed off to him from the dead corpse. It's a win-win situation regardless of BM's alignment.
This feels dismissive and stubborn. "I AM RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG". I agree with Akarins #. The clarification didn't really leave room for misinterpretation here. Like it flagged me a bit at the time but I was a little bit focused on BM at the time.

It is.

We force him to take a task. It auto completes. If he refuses, we kill him.

The task lets us also control what room he goes to. So he's a liability to scum.
This seems legit logic though.

This is an attitude I see both you and BM spouting and it's just like:

People have solid reads, wagons are being started, people are pushing.

Were also only 3 days into deadline.

How the fuck does this possibly feel like RVS? Why are you so quick to end the day; even if your going with Pooky's plan, there's still a lack of claims so ending the day early with a No Elim vote would be awful?
No one can die. No one should die. Therefore, these votes are meaningless.

We just have me take a task and force BM to take a task after ensuring no one dies. Provided I don't fuck up tomorrow, it leaves us in a great position.

That's the proper play IMO. I have said it a million times.
No one can or should die.
Why?
Going for task win exclusively is BAD as we don't know enough about the setup to know that's a fully achievable wincon. Think about it, assuming some poor soul has 2 long tasks, thats 4 days to victory.
Imposters can kill between 4 and 8. If it's 8 then there's 9 players left.
That's TOO EASY for town to win. There's got to be something here to screw with us. You're not daft. You would think of this.

No. Battle Mage is pretty transparently scum.

I actually think that this is now a second Flea vote that seems to be adding pressure to a wagon and, like I mentioned before, it's a big quote wall with not a lot of actual reasoning behind it. It really doesn't read like a Titus vote should follow that wall.

I also think Blitzo is somewhat likely to be town for those reasons. The wagon on him doesn't really seem to have a driver? At least that I've observed, and despite no-one really coming to his defense it's mostly stalled, and while normally you could attribute that to the No Elim plan there seems to be a consensus to vote anyways so the stagnation of his wagon suggests to me that he's probably town.

I keep thinking about it and I'm mostly talking myself into a Murdercat vote the more I do. He seems to be the main one keeping the game in stagnation and furthermore has expressed content with this game-state, despite the current trajectory of this day being mostly bad for town with the weak reads from most players and lacking motivation. He shows no initiative to try and influence the game-state in any way and his posts such as showcase that he has no initiative to force other slots to make AI content.

As an aside, I had time to think about it and I've mostly come around to the claiming rooms part of the plan, though not to the No Elim portion.

My wagon is noticeably different from the others in the speed in which it developed. I think this is mostly due to a kind a stale gamestate.

As I said, outworld's vote on me is legitimate. Akarin, Reck, and Ali, all mentioned me before. I think the votes that are most interesting are cake and BM. I already discussed why I am wary of both those slots and why I am wary of BM's vote in particular. He did unvote me though, so I think that dulls it somewhat.

I am getting tired, but here are questions for myself tomorrow:

What happened around VCs 1.37 to 1.41? Were any of those wagons in response to a wagon on scum?
What to make of Flea's wall about my iso, that for some reason did not end in a vote on me?
What to make of TGP, who has had a weird progression on me (as I noticed while doing some of this).

Don't lim me thanks. Good night.

N1 Plan Draft 1.0
Cafeteria

Akarin
Outworlder
Pooky

Electrical

Titus
Battle Mage
DGB
Blitzo

Security

TGP
Bell
Flea

Admin

Alisae
Taly
A Very Sad Gamma?

Comms

Cakez
Murdercat

Objections?

Something like this is probably ideal right now, then Gamma doesn’t have to be alone on N2.
If DGB or Blitzo have either Admin or Comms it would be good to claim one of those and go there first instead.

If we kill Murdercat I think Cakez should probably play it safe and we'll just have others accompany him on N2 and N3.

Important to talk this out now.

If we Eliminate Haschel we don't have to adjust the plan around the elimination.

In all seriousness I think that's a plus.

I think I more than mentioned MURDERKITTY before, I thought I was one of two people actively pushing for a wagon there.

Why does it feel like I slip under everyone's radar so much?

On planning: We should aim to be the most efficient tonight, front load the efficient parts and do the inefficient stuff later. So there are fewer total tasks to be claimed due to NKs.

Okay so a bit worried I poisoned the well against myself by pointing out the mech benefit first, but it's actually a really good reason independent of anything else unless Haschel is a townread. That said, I've been lightly scumreading him for quite a while and here's why:

The first thing is his entrance to the game: He comes in ready to talk a bit of mech and only slightly uncooperative. 5 actual minutes later, the plan is "bad and doomed to failure." And Pooky is sus for suggesting it. When Alisae asked him why, all he'd say was"If you don't know then now is certainly not the time to tell you." As if there were some mech reason. Later when I asked him again why this was worth giving scum a free NK (after my big example) his extremely persuasive reason was just "Because it gives the scum waaaaaaay too much room to maneuver and at the moment they have a lot more information about how to use game mechanics to their advantage than we do." That's it. Despite not wanting to tell Alisae earlier, and all the reasoning I gave, his 5 minute turn-around is just that strong.

Also, his desire to not at least engage with the reasoning around the plan, even if he doesn't enjoy it, is extremely hypocritical given his stance on other things:

Then there's how he pushed Titus. Bell was voting there, I had just accused her of trying to deliberately muddy the water around my talk, Blitzo had called Titus scum but not voted, Alisae had Titus in er top 3 scum.
In post 1125, Haschel Cedricson wrote:
Titus wrote:I'm going to electrical. I'm doing my task.

Either a) scum kill me and leave less for y'all to do

Or b) scum kill elsewhere and I can get those tasks.

Agreeing to anything else seems stupid.
Option A has a big problem here. Can anybody else see what it is? (
Titus was wrong about the setup, why is this scummy? And why does Haschel understand this part of the setup but not the rest?)


Her reads in 580 are terrible, too. Misrepresentation of my game + Wildly overreacting to BM's 254 + Appeal to meta + 3 reads with literally no substance behind them.
Unvote; Vote: Titus
In post 580, Titus wrote:HC is scum riding off town Reck's coattails to disrupt the game.
It's a reasonable vote, but it doesn't seem like the strongest thing of all time. Despite that, Haschel treats her very hostilely after this point.
In post 1436, Haschel Cedricson wrote:So his voting pattern both makes him transparently scum and can't make you 100% sure he's scummy. Do I have that correct?
Like this doesn't seem like a damning contradiction to me.

Then there's the whole WHY ARE YOU DODGING THE QUESTION interaction: After Titus votes BM, Haschel: "Oh no. You of all people do not get to just drop a vote with no reasoning and walk away. Why Battle Mage over the other wagons? Does the case against Murdercat make sense?" Murdercat was the other wagon here, and at this point Haschel was saying the BM wagon was bad and Murdercat was good. I actually agree with that at that point in the game, but when Titus says BM has been her main scumread for ages Haschel makes this big weird deal about Titus apparently "dodging the question" of whether the Murdercat wagon makes sense. When Flareon asks what it is, Haschel insists that no one but Titus should answer. Like he's expecting some useful scumhunting trap out of not telling Titus what the Murdercat case is. When she eventually catches up, she says post 1953she has no idea why the wagon is a thing[/url].

Like this level of aggression from that read, and these sort of "gotcha" questions don't seem like real scumhunting to me. Titus wasn't voting MURDERCAT, so what was even the point? It served to put a lot of pressure on Titus but???

I'll do some VCA myself soon for that first question.

I think

could be scum based on their pushes rather than how people perceive their content. It's not strong enough for me to pursue and I feel like
Flea
is an easier solve later...
Flea
is the only person in the plist at the moment I think could be pocketing me. But I'm not worried about it, tbh, and I'll avoid getting confbias here.

Congrats with that

I think this is the best plan so far if we all want to get the 2-nighter plans out of the way.

I don't think having ONE 2p room is bad IF it's planned.

The reasoning is that IF there's 2 NKs a night and we could verify that a 2p room existed, that narrows PoE, and may even discourage scum from NKing.

But that's as far as I go in condoning that course of action.

I also think 2-nighters MUST be in a 3p group, at the very least for the first night.

I don't think it makes sense that he didn't vote titus, but voted TGP after saying he felt he would die if he tried to vote titus opportunisticaly.

You're here Murderkitty. Respond?
Yeah I'm here. TGP isn't a real wagon, looks less opportunistic (well to everyone except TGP). It's effectively still a no elim vote, but it's showing support to Taly who I think 1. Needs it and 2. Deserves it.

I think I have given reads on everyone in the game. I am solving. I need more info. That could be an elim but night kills and neighbors also work.

I guess maybe I contributed too, at least stealing away momentum, but the wagon was feeling like it was going too quickly when I checked in last night and I wanted to make sure it didn't hammer before I got time to come back to the game.

but me feels bad if we lim town
titus
and
alisae
sees town there

i know this may seem irrational because holistically the
TGP/Flea/Titus/DGB
team makes sense to me... or I believe at least 2 scum reside here, with
TGP
slightly more likely as scum.

i really want
Titus/Haschel/TGP
to follow up soon, i can make the strongest decision in this scenario.

, elaborate on what
Titus

you probably think youve beat this to death already but i think this is the one time to repeat the thoughts.

you know what, just remove the solve for a bit instead of trying to rationalize it, it may dissipate into thin air before D2.

i need to just focus on the wagons at this point.

I smell a crumb somewhere on here.

Why does scum-
titus
vote for any popular wagons unless she thinks she can't actually no lim? This POV makes some sense because no-limming option has had week-long resistance.

My biggest vex is the
BM
tunnel and insistence that we're all still in RVS even though she has prompted scumhunting earlier in the game.

Her thought process does not feel very clear but I don't know if that's TMI'ing something TAI or SAI.
