Morph because Cabd.
Shea because I am a little bit skeptical in how they present themselves.
Tell me about Scum!Cabd, I only know their town game from Xenoblade where they whooped our ass like there was no tomorrow. Any notable differences?
You could have just asked me to humblebrag, you know.
My scum games/gambits are more notorious than my town games/gambits.

Post by Sigmund »

someone calling a another player a "townie" is not a TMI slip because that's just what people do.

someone saying "you're not the towniest townie by far, which pre-supposes I'm in their townie ranking" while voting for me to die, is TMIing slipping that I'm in the "townie chart" but I'm RANKED LOW ENOUGH FOR THEM TO TRY TO MISELIM

In post 2672, Sigmund wrote:flea wasn't even townreading me at the time

flea was VOTING FOR ME
Okay, and why was flea voting you?

also, I want to be clear I thought from context that Flea was townreading you, based on what you said, but there is a valid reading of that post in which Flea is saying, paraphrased:

"You're not at the top of the readslist, I have other people much higher than you"

which is consistent with a null to scum read on you, especially day one?

Again, I'm not really certain how you are pushing this. Rather... I now understand how you came to this conclusion, at least, but you do realize it's nowhere near as conclusive as you're saying it is, right?

like you guys understand scum have "townie charts" too right?

and they move people up and down their townie chart based on "scumminess" and ease of pushing mis-elim.

I am on Flea's townie chart

But Flea is voting for me.

That tells you everything you need to know about what type of chart Flea is using.

Like i don't even have a problem with flea as an elim but garbage arguments like this piss me off and 99 times out of 100 when a player says "that's a slip!" It's bullshit.

@Sigmund, I dunno how many of those posts are from Cabd and how many are from FF because they intentionally hide it.
While I was going through isos for the spreadsheet, I also posted a flurry of questions that occurred to me while I was doing all that rereading.

What do you mean by "intentionally hiding who's posting"? We don't sign, generally, but I think it's usually pretty obvious who posted which posts.

You say you're townreading us but dayum that's whole lot of shade the last page or so, Bell.
No, it really isn't.

I throw shade everywhere because I'm one of them types that throws shade everywhere. You should be able to relate from our recent newbie game in which you explicitly suspected and questioned everyone, perhaps to your own detriment when Lukewarm voted you in part because he felt you might vote him first.
That was a very off game for me, though I did get at least one thing right.

This is an amount of paranoia I don't think you've thrown our way before, at least not out loud. Though, Tenet happened and that's a thing. I'm just surprised you have this untapped vein of paranoia about

I initially got the impression that he was just pushing the TMI tell as part of his persona, and that he wasn't really serious about believing it.

But honestly now I'm tempted to agree.

I don't think it's impossible for this confidence to be faked (
especially if he's Pooky
), but it's +town for sure.

you can't just reduce all communication down to semantics ("pre-supposes") when it's much more complex than that.

"i'm a dancing cat," says the sitting figure.

"you're not a dancing cat!" replies the other, as they can clearly see the figure is sitting, and not dancing, though they can't quite see what sort of animal they are.

"aha, but you've admitted i'm a cat!" says the figure triumphantly.

I'm not on that wagon because of anything Sigmund has posted.

It's mostly because at a point where most of the rest of the player list is getting down to work and trying to get stuff done and an elim accomplished (or griping that it's so damn hard to get anything done), Flea keeps popping in with one-liners about popping popcorn and hi guys anything interesting happened in the last 10 pages?

Anya also bugs me, but I'm starting to see glimmers of game-relevance in her posting the last 24 hours or so. I'm kinda worried, though, that she doesn't seem to be on the collective radar any more.

I'm honestly having a really hard time believing that morph crunched the numbers and did all the research they supposedly did and came to the conclusion "I am nervous about the two players in the game who have the most consistently scummy play styles across both their town games and scum games."

I haven't played with Flea, but I have semi-watched a few games, notably some recent funky idea games. My spectator impression of Flea's town game is that faers posts become less ~empty~ as the game advances. Here, they are arguably getting MORE empty as this day has advanced.
