Manatee's Pokemon Large Theme | Game Over

[Truth Innuendos Lies]

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?

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.

-k

What doesn’t make much sense to me is that Skrew right at the beginning of the game made this incredible fuss about us and Alendrite signing all of our posts, which read townie. However, he never followed that up by commenting on any of our heads nor Alexandrite’s, which I think is kind’ve weird. You would expect a player who cares so much about accurately parsing the different hydra heads to actually follow through on that but I have seen no attempt from him to attempt to weigh in on any of those hydra heads or any real sorting whatsoever.

They pounced on us calling us lockscum wity no real reasoning behind their vote, then pivoted to STD, also with no real reasoning. I earlier said that he voted us based off of surface level generic nai reasons but that wasn’t him who did that if irc?

Why anyone is tr that slot is completely baffling to me.

Sorry about your Mom Kuribo.

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.

You are not the only one noticing that. Its extremely frustrating to me that I can’t tell whether the VCs are accurate or not.

Spoiler:

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
Thestatusquo
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.

Can you explain both your T3 and Imaginality reads? I think T3 seems really townie and how is Imaginality different here than in OMB? Wrt Cakez, he’s still totally up in the air for me.

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

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.)

What does “first move” mean exactly? I was under the impression that your role says you get to copy the role of the first pr who visits you.

if you keep talking about chowchow maybe being hectic I'm going to pretend I scumread you

I have trained under miltank for many a year for this snark

ah yes not_mafia, the snarky scummer.


VOTE: TIL
lockscum

Nancy is prolly town stop with the TIL votes

every slot is probably town. make an actual argument

yeah I'm gonna add heads talking to each other in here instead of privately as another reason for my very real scumread

wow lucky me

I'm screaming every time someone just declares a read with no explanation. No one fucking cares. Blessings and praise to those of you that are giving reasons

wow lucky me

I'm screaming every time someone just declares a read with no explanation. No one fucking cares. Blessings and praise to those of you that are giving reasons

how about you give some reads instead of just complaining about the others doing so?

I don't have any strong reads and tbh care more about getting to Night than trying our luck voting out scum today. The closest thing to a scumread I have is STD because I vibed with your posts and anti-vibed with his but that's not strong so I'm fine just voting for utility

UNVOTE:
VOTE: STD

shea I danced for you are you going to respond to that

sorry prolly not

damn wish I saw this before I changed my vote

So, he really doesn’t sound like he has conviction in any of these votes and his main motivation seems to be pushing the game into night. It matters who gets elimed D1 and he really doesn’t seem to really care much about that.

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

there isn't one, because a) they aren't even pretending to have a reason or b) it's just "lol tone", which is a bit like picking on the weird kid at the party for being weird and being unaware of the latest social calculus. like, thanks. we know. thanks for rubbing it in.

and knowing we get vindicated in the end when we townflip isn't really a comfort when it saps enjoyment out of the fucking game.

on that note...

@Mod: replace us. sorry, and thanks.

You should replace out PRIVATELY.

I’m not really sure Brain is scum or not.

VOTE: SleepyKrew

meh

He is

[WhemeStar]

Wisdom can I ask you something

Thoughts of the players on brain cell and gyp wagon?

[WhemeStar]

I don’t mean each player separately but the wagon as a whole

[Wisdom]

It's a good wagon

[SirCakez]

Strong Town:
Milobird
chowchow

Better than mild town:
Wisdom
Kitty Trauma Team (kuribo + Malakittens)
Ralts

these reads are ridiculous lol

Cakes std mind meld?

Maybe but I think both TSQ and STD are town anyways

I ate too much of the brownies and now I feel like I’m gonna throw up

don't put so much weed in next time

there's been so many times this game where people are like either just dismissing me by saying "player is lol town"

that's just site meta now, and it makes being town extremely frustrating when everyone is willing to go to the mats for their shitty meta townreads and then refuse to budge while the town argues for a hundred pages of zero content and then settles on an un-aliving only at the most reluctance. This has been trending on-site for at least a year or two.

I'm townreading you Shea, so pick a player (two if their isos are super light) and I'll try to deep dive them if things slow down tonight

-k

I would sheep you if you have a strong feeling on someone I have a lot of faith in your reads

[SirCakez]

Sorry to hear about your mom Kuribo

[SirCakez]

I have a lot of scum reads this game.

Thankfully Sircakez is easy to read today. I will be mad if he is scum this game.
and the ducks.
and maybe ralts.

-Bell

*snore*

i'm getting close just so I can slip the knife in

i'm actually about to dump a readslist

When's this mixtape gonna drop?

I scrapped it because I don't have reads on enough people so it wouldn't have been accurate or useful

[SirCakez]

scumreads on The Goat are lazy as hell

I don't see a point to sitting on Brain Cell when they just repped out

VOTE: alexandrite
I can't remember any of their posts and upon review their ISO is terrible

Prodding Woolax. Searching for a replacement for Sharing the Brain Cell.

[Wisdom]

I dont think scum Meg has anything to gain by claiming scumpings on me

[Wisdom]

do you have no thoughts on the Shea vs. Fenrir situation that happened, mala?

-Gamma

anyway, you should read the combined ISO of Shea and Fenrir and give your thoughts on that at least

-Gamma

Also these encouragements for people to give content looks like town Gamma

But in contrast I don't like Gamma saying people giving readslists are tryhards and Meg requesting someone give them the Brain Cell case is not good regardless of Brain Cell alignment IMO

[Wisdom]

Both seem nai to me

i want to see what they say when they come back
