god i just really feel like one of agar/notty has to be scum here

[Gamma Emerald]

do you have any inclination on which it is?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i cant wait for reck to hulk smash someone

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

gamma are you conceding that chess game btw?

[xRECKONERx]

do you have any inclination on which it is?

if i did dont you think i wouldve indicated that by now instead of being conflicted

[xRECKONERx]

holy shit i can't tell if gamma is scum or just infuriating

[Gamma Emerald]

gamma are you conceding that chess game btw?

I stopped after you made an advanced play after a suspicious pause, because I suspected you looked it up, when you had previously stated you weren't that good, so I was like "man I'm not gonna play against someone so interested in winning he's gonna look shit up against me in a casual game like this"

true
thing is I've gotten scumvibes from agar, not so much from notty, and I'm also not certain my scumvibes from agar aren't just personal bias
so I'd like your perspective on those two

[xRECKONERx]

notty's refusal to play yesterday bc "all four are town idgaf about this" really to me screams like a very simple scum tactic to avoid contributing

my primary problem this game has been that i see things everyone are doing as really blatantly weirdly scummy but they can't all be scum

lol what

imagine thinking I'd cheat at chess.

ridiculous

[Gamma Emerald]

if you wanna start a fresh game I'd do that
I just don't feel good about continuing the current one

[notscience]

...I was contributing. Even though I found the day ducking stupid I was doing things.

And I wouldn’t be trying a simple scum tactic.

(Self meta inc) last time I was scum in a hood with bulge I took the simple by the book play for scum and got busted for it. I’d know it wouldn’t work here and thus wouldn’t do it. Call me too scummy to be scum I guess, but I’m a little confused you think the game would be *that* easy.

[VP Baltar]

I have a very firm belief antitown actions are more commonly done by town as scum is more self concious about it. Given pookys chalenge was antitown as all fuck, I think he’s likely town.

This is kind of a silly statement that sounds good on paper, but really makes no sense. Anti-town play is literally the definition of playing to your wincon as scum. Every action scum takes is anti-town, some are just more overt than others.

[notscience]

My first game back from hiatus had two lolhammers on consecutive days, both by town on town.

I understand you’re about to counter with Haschel lol hammering Sunny D1.

My tell has worked for me, and helps me avoid chasing miselim bait. Yes your answer is a very by the book answer but the beauty of this game is that the book serves as a guideline and not judge and jury.

[notscience]

I can also back up me using that thought in other places with references.

[VP Baltar]

If your point is that sometimes town do scummy things, I don't think anyone disagrees with you. Scum also do scummy things, and it is silly to hand out free passes to people based on that. There are other reasons to call pooky town from yesterday and still engage in the day. That's my point.

[VP Baltar]

AGar, you already say today who you think should be in the challenge arena?

[notscience]

The base of my point is scum is way less likely than town to be overtly scummy, which is how I view pookys chcallenge.

[SirCakez]

The counter point is it's a pretty low reward play (you might keep one of your scumbuddies out of a yeet pool for a bit, you maybe get a bit of towncred) with a lot of opportunity to backfire if one of them flips scum and is linked back to the person pushing it and even if they aren't they lose any potential gains as soon as that one flips. Unless you think notty's mild attempts to persuade others that all four were town will prevent any of them from ending up back in a challenge. I don't see it as a good play from Notty to try and save a scumbuddy there.

but it gives him a pass to not have to bus

[SirCakez]

lilith told me she would work reads with me but she hasn't

[VP Baltar]

I'd be up for a lillith yeet honestly. Her entire presence in his game is forgettable, and my sense is she is a good player.

[xRECKONERx]

let's go Cobra Kai

Strike Hard
Strike Fast
No Mercy!!

kill or kill

this isn't an explanation

[notscience]

Ah, so we’re basing it off preflip associatives on the chance someone is scum in the pool.

Got it.

[AGar]

AGar, you already say today who you think should be in the challenge arena?

Nah, but I've also been operating under the assumption that one of Cakez/Notty is gonna challenge me. I'd prefer Notty or GE in the arena to tango with.

This feels like a weaker justification, but ok.

[SirCakez]

i'm p much ready to challenge barracudas
fine with wagoning lilith or agar

[VP Baltar]

We all have control over this.
