I do have TIL on the townier side of null. I’m trying to think of how to articulate why though.

What do you think of Skrew?

What do you think of Skrew?

the majority of Skrew's posts seem to be essentially complaining that people aren't taking the game seriously and then pushing STD

I could see Skrew being scum here

While y'all have me, I'll probably end up having to let chowchow coast to endgame regardless of their alignment, how the hell could I ever scumread that gimmick and avatar? Or townread the gimmick because it's fluffy NAIness, but that's beside the point because I can't scum read it. It's adorable. Just look at those widdle sets of eyes.

And since my shift will be over soon, just a heads up that I'm not gonna be around tomorrow, Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday. Friday and Monday are fine.

For the other days, just @mala in the thread and she can quote it in the hydra PT and I'll get to it when I'm back in town

Or she can just Snapchat me if it's super urgent I guess but I doubt anything could be urgent enough to drag me back here

liking kuri's posts, esp the part about sk

[Dwlee99]

Okay, but why are you choosing to argue over this instead of something game relevant.
Shea is correct mid-game is not usually the best time for genuine mafia play feedback.

-Bell

This is a silly question if you read what I was responding to in the first place

[Firebringer]

Sorry about your Mom Kuribo.

[WhemeStar]

As the person who started brain celll wagon I like the gypyx wagon more

[imaginality]

As the person who started brain celll wagon I like the gypyx wagon more

Why?

[Wisdom]

Someone explain the brain cell scumcase because they stole that braincell from me.

Also I'd like to add that wisdom is giving scum!pings to me

- Meg

Have some townpoints for your unpopular stance

[WhemeStar]

Why?

I find the gypyx wagon to be made up of townier people

[mastina]

I can't read Mastina for shit on day one, just gonna call her town

I do have a flowchart for that, yaknow.

edit while reading further : yeah okay saw your answer to ralts, not a huge fan of admitting that you yourself are scummy but like i don't know how to play mafia so idk

I wasn't saying I was scummy, I was saying that I was aware that I was displaying the trait I'd expect that scum displayed but also acknowledging that I know it wouldn't be

only

scum displaying that trait.

I don't like Gypyx and Ralts jumping on mastina's comment about the people who see TSQ v STD as TvT being more likely scum than not.

I mean on the one hand I do think Gypyx's comment absolutely sucks.

On the other hand the Gypyx wagon gives off terrible vibes and feels like it fucking sucks, with scum latching onto it.

When I'm in a better mindset (hella tired right now, just reading to stay caught up, not really capable of good critical thinking), will be able to give that better thought.

Not Voting:

The Goat, mastina

MOD:

VOTE: SirCakez

I've not changed my vote once in the game; I should be on SirCakez

.

Goats entrance feels off to me so far. Complains about pages (frequent scum tactic when they're behind and need to say something) makes vague comment about the largest wagon maybe being scummy (how would you know? Maybe because buddies are talking about it in pt?)

Valid, tho I'd like to also say SleepyKrew did fairly similar so I'd be willing to yeet either of them.

[mastina]

Mastina, are you going to be generally active this game?

Active? Mostly--I'm starting a new job tomorrow, and League Worlds 2021 is going on right now, both of which will cut into my activity a little, but I

should

be able to be here fairly often and be fairly active overall. (I'm close to my limit in gaming, but while fatigue is a risk, I'm not exceeding the limit.)

Contributing? Well, not

tonight

(not in the headspace for it), but we'll have to see. Hopefully, with luck, yes, but potentially will lack if I am struggling to get a good town core.

I have a good scum core I feel, but not a good town core, so I've got better than nothing but not as much as I want to have.

[Wisdom]

Your good scum core is cakez crew and goat?
That's lackluster

[mastina]

the one time i've seen scum mastina she said the most random things i don't know if that's the case with scum!mastina but it's definitely different from my (admittedly only one) example

I mean to be fair.

The difference between you and Shea is that you have experienced recent scumastina, where I can't scum worth a damn.

Shea has experienced old scumastina, where I was at my prime and fully capable of actually playing scum.

The difference between current scumastina and the scumastina of when I was in my prime is just as night/day as the difference between my towngame and my scumgame in that prime-scumastina is nigh-indistinguishable from my towngame (not quite, obviously, even at my prime there were clear scumastina markers because different alignments wanted to do different things and used different methods but it was surface-level at least visibly very similar requiring nuance to distinguish) but current scumastina is obvious as fuck.

That having been said.

I don't think I'm actually out of my current-scumastina range, so the strong townreads on me are a bit baffling. Yeah, I'm town, so yeah, the reads are accurate, but how the fuck are people thinking that I'm not being my lazy apathetic scum self here? I've not power-towned yet (I'll get there obviously, eventually, but I'm not there

right now

), so I actually don't understand why I look town to folks. I AM town, but if *I* don't think I look town as town, if *I* don't think I'm out of my scumrange (and that says something when I'm talking about not being out of my

current

scumrange), chances are, I'm not actually out of my scumrange soooo...I don't understand the townreads there.

i think i downplayed the "randomness." she literally quoted random posts and was like "Town." "Scum?" "Town!" "scum." to them it was bizarre.

I've got some bad news for ya.

[quote="In post 1091, Kitty Trauma Team"I suddenly have a million questions about her claim and how it would relate to being targeted by my own ability because I'd REALLY hate to have to be the one to NAR that[/quote]Well if you were the first/only person to target me, I'd get a copy of your ability.

Granted, I haven't asked about success vs. attempt in terms of targeting me, didn't think of it until now, will do that after submitting this post. The role PM says 'targeting', which implies it doesn't need to succeed in order for me to copy it, but not every mod is as fond of strictly adhering to semantics as I am so the wording of targeting in spite of implying success isn't needed, may still require success, so need to ask about that.

I'm looking at the playerlist and honestly realizing I'd be forcing a read on like 75% of these players if I try to make a readslist
A lot of players are blending together

While I empathize with this as it's true of me, too, I still think Cakez is scum here anyway.

Fixing my broken quote here, but also adding;
I suppose I should point out that, technically speaking, my role specifies that I gain a copy of the first

move

, but I figure that every power this game is probably a move.
(I honestly didn't read the game mechanics at all, like I said, I had completely forgotten I signed up for this game in the first place. I didn't remember until I got my role PM, so. Reading game stuff just wasn't something I had as a priority.)

[Ralts]

i'm actually about to dump a readslist

When's this mixtape gonna drop?

[mastina]

Your good scum core is cakez crew and goat?
That's lackluster

That'd be lackluster if that was my scum core but thankfully it is not.

Milobird
Save the Dragons
Firebringer

Wisdom

Truth Innuendos Lies
Sharing the Brain Cell

WhemeStar
Kitty Trauma Team
Dwlee99
Ralts

Alexandrite
The Goat
Gypyx
chowchow
Woolax
SleepyKrew

imaginality

T3
SirCakez

Since then:
Kitty Trauma team has become more town.

Goat has become more scum;
Woolax is a little more scum;
SleepyKrew is more scum.

So my actual scum core is more like:

(locktown at least for D1)
Milobird
Save the Dragons
Firebringer
Thestatusquo
Wisdom

(almost locktown, is strongly town for D1)
Kitty Trauma Team
Sharing the Brain Cell
Truth Innuendos Lies

(various shades of ambivalence)
WhemeStar
Dwlee99
Ralts

(various shades of null)
Alexandrite
chowchow
Gypyx

(south of null by an undefined amount)
Woolax
imaginality
The Goat

(lean scum)
SleepyKrew

(lockscum)
T3
SirCakez

I realize that having only two lockscum isn't ideal and that my townreads aren't as sure as they should be, but I'm overall happy with having the scum

pool

be what it is;
{Woolax, imaginality, Goat, SleepyKrew, T3, SirCakez} is a group that I think should have at least 2 scum in it. Obviously, I'd hope for more, I'd think 2-4 in there total, but there should be a

minimum

of two scum in there.

I'm happy with a scum

pool

of six, with 2 of them being lockscum.

It's not where I'd

prefer

to be on D1, but I'm at least

content

with it.

[Wisdom]

Swap T3 and Brain and I'd be happier

[Ralts]

Why is Firebringer lock town?

[Ralts]

On the other hand the Gypyx wagon gives off terrible vibes and feels like it fucking sucks, with scum latching onto it.

When I'm in a better mindset (hella tired right now, just reading to stay caught up, not really capable of good critical thinking), will be able to give that better thought.

This is an interesting callout; the only person you have south of null voting that is currently voting for Gypyx is imaginality vs. 3 who are voting for Brain Cell.

[Ralts]

liking kuri's posts, esp the part about sk

I had the same thought.

[T3]

Lemme talk to Mala and get her blessing, I honestly think town would benefit more from knowing our ability in full

Oh wait I accidentally skimmed over this post
ktt locktown

[Truth Innuendos Lies]

Reminder to myself and to anyone rereading the game in like 3 game days that chowchow and TIL are never red together.

We are not buddies with anyone and I strongly doubt chowchow is either. What I don’t understand is why you’re even making this post. I thought you had them as strong town?
