yo, likewise sorry for being absent, yesterday was a bit of a rough day in terms of mental health and this game suddenly felt hard

I feel kind of directionless atm

If I'm honest, I really dislike the charisma potion mechanic, I think it's making me feel stressed akin to when I'm scum in that it means having to actually think about my posts rather than just rush stuff off

skitter, I get why you're skeptical of Toogeloo's claim of a damaging potion here and I find the way he's been responding to me to be frustrating, but I kind of feel like we just leave him be here and leash him to shoot who we want? I guess there's the fear if he's scum that he just goes and shoots someone else instead but if that happens we just yeet him on day 3 regardless? So that's not a huge concern for me.

I'm not completely opposed to leashing them to like one of t3/pob witu the understanding that if neither of those flip scum he's next

I an slightly dubious of overnight shenabigans leading to unclear sources of damage (like i can totally see him juat *not* using the potion overnight and then saying the target must be lying ir something, ior an unusual number of people dying due to dats' thing or something) but like theoretically i'm ok with it, especially since we gained a flip last night ans are on evens

Two flipa overnight + flip today worst case scenario we're in 5way tom

More people dying than expected and not hitting scum will lead to scum winning tho

As i write this out i realize that toog's potion may not be enuf to causw death overnight, it may need to be coupled with dats' thing

I'm just wary of causing more deaths than expexted since we dont know exactly hiw many people are to die tonight (with dats' thing) so it might just be a loss if we dont hit scum

Slightly convoluted but those are my thoughts

[skitter30]

Absolutely no idea at this point
Made sense to me early game cuz i was off but i dont really think you should be having an issue this phase

fwiw, i'm pretty sure schadd is supposed to let me know when someone is taking damage from the charisma potion. i'm just unsure if he's gonna do it in public or just tell me privately - i'm in the middle of asking, will update when i get a response (i have been alerted of zero damage taking so far if that wans't obvious)

[Datisi]

for fuck's sake i started typing another post with My Thoughts only to realize i cannot hit submit

@toog - is there a reason you keep ignoring me at this point?

@mena - what's got you feeling directionless? you had a full blown readslist last time, no?

i'm gonna go back to lurking now i guess, making posts is giving me anxiety

Ok this makes me feel bettwr abt just leashing him tbh

Would prob prefer pob over t3 but i dont have very strong opinions so long as we get toog if neither flip scum

@mena - what's got you feeling directionless? you had a full blown readslist last time, no?

not sure tbh

I kind of feel like I can't parse skitter here which is troublesome but like equally it's hard to put my finger on why I think she feels scummy and idk if it's paranoia or what but I can't shake the feel? I didn't really like the response to me when I initially pointed out what was bothering me about her, and I still think the whole thing about "tris being an excited PR" just rings hollow as a reason to suddenly feel fine with her quick hammering if she was actually upset (instead of feigning upsetness) about it beforehand?

also with the massclaim things have gotten mech-y which is uh, not something I enjoy so I'm mostly out while S_S decides what to do about that

lastly, idk, the game just feels wrong kinda? like my reads are smokey instead of pinned down and I'm having the classic "not sure if I'm just worrying over nothing or if things are genuinely off and I need to fully re-eval"

~Rhyme

[Rhyme and Reason]

also, I just don't know if I have the energy to fight skitter if she is scum, and I guess the feeling that she is and that that's the inevitable consequence of me being around and pushing her is like, disincentivizing me to play rn + as mentioned, not having had a great day yesterday just due to general IRL mental health

~Rhyme

[Rhyme and Reason]

I think also there are just a lot of very hard to read slots which then in turn makes me feel less good on the reads I /should/ feel confident because there's more total unknowns in the pool to be sorted

like I feel like so far this game (trjis, pob long, T3, skitter) are all really hard to read at all

toogs I think could be scum but not sure

retti I think is mostly town but I'm not as locked in there as I'd like to be

you are I think town but as mentioned there's some underlying paranoia

I think it's well established that I do much better when I feel like (1) the game is active and (2) there's someone else I feel really confident on who I can bounce reads and ideas back and forth with and that's not really been available this game as the person I /would/ maybe have done that with is you but I (a) cannot disagree with you without taking damage and (b) don't think that's gonna work if you're not also townreading me and I now sort of feel like the moment to be in that mutually beneficial townread has passed and the paranoia is kind of set in

By meta I'm pretty sure tris is town, her scum posts are way more devoid of content.

[T3]

Hydra, Datisi,tris, Retti are probably all town.

Luckily i'm not scum here, but i'm sorry that this is causing some level of disincentive-ness :(

Idk what i can do abt it to help but lmk if u want to chat abt anything

Also i hope things get better

[Rhyme and Reason]

I'm here. I'm still opposed to massclaim, I think massclaiming what everyone did last night is fine.

Echoing what Mena said about the charisma potion being annoying.

SO TRUE!

[pob long]

im am really hating all the talking about eliminating based on mechanics we dont even know about from Retti and Skitter. scummy Toog already said something like that for me, and not all of you can be scums thought. Are we not doing any real scum hunting this game, huh Townies???? given up? where is your chutzpah????

this is crap!

[pob long]

how Scum is Toogooloo too you, skitter?

[pob long]

post 611 looks townie for RR, with all its uncertainty. but it could be that the scum tried to make today all confusing and this is RR pretending to react to that gamestate. im not sure but reading that made me feel better about RR til i started thinking about the possibilities

What ofif it's something stupid like Toog / pog long lol
