Large Normal 231 | Etymologies | Game Over

[Luca Blight]

To be clear, I have Luca in my town bucket right now. I don’t want to have that appear like I’m shading them. Not my intent.

It's cool bro. Everybody shades sometimes.

[Luca Blight]

But yeah, I'd recommend getting out of thinking like 'scum do this' and 'town do this' and instead consider what feels right in that particular moment, in that specific situation.

Allow your past experiences to guide you by all means, but don't let it rule/bias your judgement. Always stay open-minded.

[Mizzytastic]

Busy with family stuff today

Vc and checking prod timers in ~2 hours

New page occurred, find the vote count here

[Andresvmb]

Okay I’m back. Let’s catch up.

[Luca Blight]

I just realised that this is Hayker's first game in like 8 years, so perhaps they're a bit rusty/out of touch.

[Andresvmb]

VOTE: plusJOYED

I like the wagon composition from 652 and had my own early suspicions. Still, I haven’t really caught up so I’m just trying to move away from Gamma Emerald which is a useless vote right now.

[Luca Blight]

A quick meta search tells me PlusJOYED is capable of towntelling as Town, so I'm content with my vote there for now.

[Bypasser Catcher]

andres be honest with me, did you rand scum here?

[Andresvmb]

I also feel Mini is probably Scum.

[Andresvmb]

andres be honest with me, did you rand scum here?

Are you trying to use my own question against me? Funny.

No, but you might have. NPOM was particularly bad at the beginning. So you replacing there is noteworthy.

[Bypasser Catcher]

NPOM is just Not Good in general i was cringing at his reads and engagements. Mostly useless

[Andresvmb]

BERATED

that's the word

anyway I'll find scum now

If this had happened two days later, I suspect you might have characterized the reaction from the players in that game as an insurrection!

[Andresvmb]

NPOM is just Not Good in general i was cringing at his reads and engagements. Mostly useless

I have to admit, this made me laugh.

Alright you get a pass for now.

[NorwegianboyEE]

I still find your slots reads cringeworthy.

[Andresvmb]

Andre do you have any reads you'd like to share right now?

I’m working on it.

I have a strong feeling that chkflip and Nero Cain are Town. I got good vives from Luca. Vax seems like Town to me too. This is all early yadda yadda I’m not particularly good with reads early just take it for what it is.

[Andresvmb]

Not fully caught up but I would blow up Mini for that long post demanding reasons for votes. I thought that was Scummy.

[Andresvmb]

Ugh VOTE: binatog

I also have a feeling Ranny is Scum actually. This vote just seemed off.

[Andresvmb]

I’ve had a game with you and I know you’re inclined to play that way.

But announcing your intentions unprompted that you’re going to “play support” is something else. I feel like binatong is leaning into the clueless thing too hard.

Passive play does make sense at the beginning of a large, but you don’t have to advertise it. Just do it and people will see.

Like this seems overly forced to me for example. Some people are just afraid of making mistakes or don’t feel like they can lead Town in a positive direction. Why the hate? It’s too stubborn in order to justify a vote that’s probably not there.

[Andresvmb]

No-one stands out as being particularly scummy so far. Gazoo and Andres are my biggest TR's from my first skim-through.

Luca! Gazoo’s attack on Binatog seemed Townie to you? Damn. Maybe I’m wrong.

[NorwegianboyEE]

I don't think Rannygazoo is particurarly townie for what it's worth.
Did Luca explain why he found Gazoo townie for their push there?

[Andresvmb]

Last time we played, I could understand your POV. And you seemed more careful. Here you aren’t really being careful. I mean, you threw out a completely emotional reason to begin questioning my slot (based on literally faulty logic), and your focus seems overly narrow.

Whatever, just an early take. Some folks are already trying to sideline you by calling your approach superficial and what not. There’s probably something there, but you haven’t questioned it much.

andres putting more effort at the start here to make up for last game or because he's scum?

Plus this is actually disappointing. We mind-melded so well last time!

[Andresvmb]

I don't think Rannygazoo is particurarly townie for what it's worth.
Did Luca explain why he found Gazoo townie for their push there?

Not from my re-read but I’m not done. For what it’s worth, I don’t think you’re wrong either.

[Luca Blight]

I didn’t find that particular push townie or scummy tbh. I could see it coming from either alignment.

I found him townie early on for different reasons, but I haven’t been a fan of some of his more recent stuff. I’m about to sleep so I’ll elaborate tomorrow.

[Andresvmb]

There are many too faces in here. I have only played with Mini, Gamma, and Norfolk. So idk the meta.

Meta is rubbish.

Consider it a blessing.

All your answers will be in this game.

A recently finished game where I tried to use meta to sort a player (Noraa) confirms the accuracy of this statement.

[Andresvmb]

So I am thinking that Norwegian/DrippingGoofBall/CheekyTeeky are scum aorn

Anybody want to bet that this is the classic 2 Town, 1 Scum?
