pooky i didn’t realize your cabinet was an american cul-de-sac (townblock) but i am really honored to be your first lady. i hope this does not come off as a pocket, i just really like your vibes and i’m new here so reading the roleplaying is comforting and less scary

viva la revolution, dudes!!!

et al is a hydra?

THE LAST TIME I PLAYED THIS SETUP I GOT ALL THE WAY TO THE END

BUT I LOVE AMERICA SO MUCH I GOT MYSELF MODKILLED RATHER THAN WIN

NOTHING CAN OVERCOME MY LOVE FOR THIS COUNTRY

EVEN IF CAKEBOI SENT ME A SHIT ROLE PM MY TRUE ROLE PM IS U S A

[T3]

what if we just kill deep-city-lights and carry on soldiers huh what then

No. Waiting for the replacement on a flaked slot, no matter how scummy is always best.

[marry]

i feel safe with pooky

[Et Al]

YOU SHOULD BE TRYING TO FIND BAD GUYS AND NOT SO SCARED OF NEXUS

I mean I was trying to understand what Nexus was arguing so that I (and others) could read him, I wasn't just questioning him for shits and giggles. I don't really know what else you would call "trying to find the bad guys"; it's not like my scumreading faculties are especially keen in the early game. You should know this.

And re: mech, I also wasn't really around when the mech discussions were happening. I don't tend to post that stuff unsolicited. And iirc I usually talk mechanics way more in the lategame than the early game, even in an open setup. So I don't think it's THAT weird.

The churchdra's posts read strangely to me. I'll have to read more.

MY WIFE IS A NATURAL BORN SCUM HUNTER

[marry]

BORN AND RAISED

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I WOULD NEVER BE LOYAL TO ANY OTHER COUNTRY GOD BLESS THE USA

[Et Al]

fwiw i also scumread pooky at this point and think the way he's approaching this game is very scum motivated

[marry]

how hes literally protecting the homeland

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

YOU CAN GET A NUKE AND SHOOT ME THEN

MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I HAVE BUT ONE LIFE TO GIVE FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY

[Et Al]

That's definitely the most productive way to handle an early-game scumread on a strong player.

[Et Al]

how hes literally protecting the homeland

he's not reading me, but rather electing to read ss, which in the context of the many, many, many games i've played with him, is very strange in that he *usually* tries to read me and work with me p fast, but isn't trying to work with me at all here, and i've tried to get him to a couple of times now
he's decidedly ignoring me and what i'm saying, and instead is just calling ss scum, and is now pre-emptively using that as justification for lolnuking us later on

if pooky is scum i'm p sure this is how scum is neutralizing our slot: ignoring my head, repeatedly calling ss scum for very meh reasons, and using that to nuke us later

ill come back to this cuz imma take a nap and im mobile. this is my pin @marry does tagging work oh well we about to find out

[Et Al]

that's fine
would like to emphasize this point cuz i'm having a hard time seeing town-pooky approaching this game (i.e. particularly my slot) the way he is rn

[gorilla]

I know that I've seen her do it as scum like in another game she had a very similar opening where it was like, trying to be scummy, and sometimes as scum mastina likes to be scummy and then slow and progressively get more town later on. That's basically what she explained she was doing in Turn of Camn inside the scum PT so like I pretty much have nothing else better to do with my vote so........

Well the first post was a direct reference to the previous DEFCON game, so likely preplanned regardless of alignment.

My vague recollection of old mastin was reams or words regardless of alignment but as scum it was empty noise. Here? Her reads don't really amount to more than gutreads ATM despite the verbosity,

why is VFP the best lead you have atm?

I think deep-city-lights picking up their role PM but not actually confirming is likely scum indicative. That's an angleshooty read but it is what it is. Can't ignore it.

I don't have super strong scumreads right now which might just point to an inactive team of Russkies.

Also weird question but no reason not to ask it:
What series of pages do you feel like scum were just absent?

You are right, that is a weird question. I wasn't thinking of anything in particular, but there are a number of people who haven't said much so far:



Now, some people are probably just chilling and not taking the game very seriously. But I also think scum might show up early, place a vote for confirmation, and then simply not have the motivation to stay in thread for continued discussion, because they have no interest in hunting. I'm not saying every lurker is necessarily scum but I think attention should be given to those slots when the game proper starts.

[gorilla]

I'm finding it really hard to stay interested in mafia at the moment but I don't see why people have gorilla or myself as town. This is very par for the course, mastina's read makes no sense even if I feel she's town anyway, and gorilla really hasn't done anything special either except for 664, which is a good post.

All my posts are brilliant, thank you

[samantha97]

too brilliant because my eyes are now melted by that white activity overview

if you wanna look at the game from that angle though, with 5 russians, I figure there's at least 1 very active and 2 inactive

[Cephrir]

Seduce me with posts that make uninteresting observations on probability uwu

There is probably 1 scum in the last 4 players on the player list

tbh I'm not sure how this answer actually helps me. Can you list of a range of pages you think just doesn't have scum posting in them?

[Bell]

Did Gorilla just say we should get the lurkers
