ugh

but like the thing is is that i've already done half of it and giving up is like... euuuuugh

i do a lot better in the moment i think than going back to read things

you're not obligated to catch up on everything if playing in the moment is a better way for you to get reads / show your alignment

Agree with this

[Disaster Cartel]

hey this is MINE

[Disaster Cartel]

do not tempt me from my path demons (keep doing it)

[Venus Fly Trap]

oh!

Spoiler:

i felt bad about not being around earlygame when mena was honestly even though i know i shouldn't because it's just mafia, but i invited him to hydra with me and i feel like... i should play better / more "serious" than i normally when it comes to like, not shitposting because there's someone else in the slot with me who i'm responsible for so it means that i'm trying to put more thought into the things i say rather than just "idk vibes lol lol", and doing ti with stuff that's already past is awkward bc they're topics already gone and i'm like... i feel i need to say More than i normally would i guess? because these are things i'm revisiting and people have already spoken about. i wanna be useful basically but catchup makes it uniquely difficult and i kinda hate it

i hope this makes sense

- ydra

yeah i get what you're saying
maybe don't put so much pressure on yourself to like Catch Up all formally and everything
when you just post stream-of-conscious-y vibes and thoughts with like real content you're easiest to read, and i'd prefer that than you being all stressed abt catching up

I feel like y'all might be underestimating my scumgame but w/e I'm town here

i mean you literally made a whole thing about saying the exact opposite last week, remember?
lol

[Disaster Cartel]

okay fine WHATEVER you guys win... tch

lol

The way I played this game is much more in my scumrange than the way I played divide and conquer, that game I got really aggressive really early and that own required more real-time interaction. I still would probably have a hard time faking my conviction here though

[Disaster Cartel]

okay i actually feel better about being here now that i don't have the existential dread of reading another 15 pages looming over me who's here to RUMBLE

- ydra

[Venus Fly Trap]

you actually sound more like yourself now tbh

Who do you want to kill. point the gun infinity point it at everyone you think is scum right now and stick to it for the rest of this game

i feel like a houseplant where if you don't keep it in exact conditions it immediately dies

or a little shaking chihuahua

mena is the unfortunate owner who bought a chihuahua for some reason and now he loathes it because he's stuck with it. this is a metaphor for this game

- ydra

[Venus Fly Trap]

I didn't really like mena's "look at me so frustrated about NM policy elim" attitude when he was yelling at me earlier, but I think ydrasse is slightly +town in the last few pages

I'm probably not going to have a chance to catch up until this weekend, I've asked skitter to hold down the fort for me while work is crazy. if there's anything specific that people want my opinion on, please @ me and I'll try to respond in a somewhat reasonable time frame.

He claimed Miller can you confirm that please?

Wtf? No, I'm not a Miller I'm a PGO

Long time no see

Mom/Braveheart is also #badslot btw

Great way to shit push this slot before I have the chance to do anything. Why are you resorting to this over actually engaging me on what's happened so far? I'm fresh eyes and ears, presumably you would want that

knowing

I can nab scum with notable accuracy.

Unless you have other motives to pushing me off to the side before I can make an impact on the game

[Venus Fly Trap]

okay nvm I started reading and my brain can't stop

I still think infinity/leafeon interactions feel weirdly weak. infinity's line of questioning on "do you post like this as scum" etc doesn't seem like it's really meant to go anywhere meaningful and ends with her soft-townreading leafeon. I don't see how misty's responses were particularly towny.

[The Bulge]

hey wow I was just reading that part and thinking exactly the same thing

[Venus Fly Trap]

oh hi bulge

what did you think about beeboy posting 523 right after that?

- lilith

[The Bulge]

that whole exchange feels like a good example of the "pointless garbage" point i mentioned before. I have a hard time believing town in infinity's shoes would care at all about that line of questioning, and then to have that exchange flip her read from scum to town is wild to me

[Momrangal]

You guys are all gonna make me read I guess, hmm?

[notscience]

that is typically what you do when you replace into a game, yes

Basically I had this idea where mistyx would not force thoughts if she didn't have any as town where she would force them as scum. It doesnt look like that was correct, but I finished townreading her for 510 which I felt like she would've presented differently (perhaps not even quoting my post) if it was both wrong and fake as opposed to just wrong.

this was @ 639, lemme keep reading

[Infinity 324]

finished the engagement* townreading her

yeah I think I agree

sorry I didn't mean to spout pointless garbage ._. I was just feeling FOMO for the exciting conversation about NM and wanted to give my two cents but it was like a million pages too late

real talk though, the majority of my reads are formed based on how well I can see and understand the other person's view, preferably that person's read on me, because I can pick apart what does make sense (I guess this is @ nacho too for "why is this read such a sticking point" etc etc). I don't mean to come off as like, self-centered but it's way easier to parse people's reads on me and why they are reasonable or unreasonable as town progressions. if I'm having a hard time following and understanding Nacho's reasons for his initial push of NM, his read on our slot, the kind of "agenda" that he's presenting to people for why he acts in certain ways, then I think he's way more likely to be scum based on my own experiences.

oh hi bulge

- lilith

i think the exchange between inf and leaf ended very unnaturally. then beeboy sort of takes his turn after, tying it back with a mutual TR on inf. all of his other posts in that burst are completely pointless filler
