I’m forming a few reads but I think I’d like to keep them a little closer to the vest* this game

EBWOP

[Towelie]

low complexity is not necessarily commensurate w/ normal, nor do i think cabd just started w/ a setup and haphazardly assigned roles to it.

just did some follow up on this and i'm actually just dead fucking wrong:

Other: Players should expect a fairly balanced non-swingy game that plays more like a classic normal game from the 2013 era, with mountain dew flavor shamelessly bolted on top of it.

I'm having trouble figuring out how just the mere existence of code red becomes impossible w/ LLD's role when considering this

[Towelie]

(to be clear, i still think competitor brand = non mountain dew for scum)

[Gamma Emerald]

(to be clear, i still think competitor brand = non mountain dew for scum)

Same
I’m half tempted to dabble in jargonized reads this game since my natural inclination is to find them weird and I’m honestly wanting to broaden my horizons here
The issue is remembering to substitute “name brand/off brand” for “town/scum”, I can already sense my brain is resisting that

[Milk & Mocha]

Probs not gonna read up. Someone talk to me

[Milk & Mocha]

Too slow. Ok bye

[Gamma Emerald]

-_-
Which head is this?

[Dunnstral]

That is interesting, but I don't think limming dunn is worth it atm
would scum have fakeclaims, possibly, but I'm mostly just confused why Dunn's immediate thought was to claim flavor out of the gate

I had to rub my flavor in Towelie's face.

See this, I don't buy.

Let's turn this on its head. What other reason do I have to claim my flavor?

Now for Dunn:
Can you give a list of town reads and scumreads so far?

I don't think much has happened to form an opinion on yet, other than LLD.

I have a light town lean on Toog because I think they softed their flavor which is +town for them, in my opinion

Your actions are incomprehensible. All I know is that you are lying about your role.

How do you know she's lying? She hasn't even really said anything concrete yet.

See; 67. What she is hinting at is something that belongs in a theme game; normal games don't have roles that interact with flavor like that.

I'm assuming Dunn.is town

just for claiming flavor?

that seems, i dunno, really obviously flimsy?

You are right.

I think Cabd would refuse to allow a massclaim to break the game, or at least would prevent the named townie syndrome from happening. Given my role, I'm pretty confident that either there are some flavours in the game that you expect to be there that won't (see: Code Red) or that some of the Mtn Dew flavours won't be town.

That's not what you said though. You said that my claim of Code Red was a true claim in post 56, even adding "why wouldn't it be?".

Now you're saying something different, you're saying that Code Red wouldn't be in the game.

I think that this kind of logical inconsistency coming from you strongly points towards scum.

VOTE: Lady Lambdadelta

And the last part doesn't mean anything. Your role tells you that some people aren't town? That is inherent knowledge.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Okay, time to have some fun with you Dunn~

[Cabd]

Please hold.

[Cabd]

Lady Lambadelta is Diet Mountain Dew, Macho Activated Innocent Child, aligned with On-Brand (Town)

[Towelie]

Other head here, don’t really know how your role implies code red is scum

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Other head here, don’t really know how your role implies code red is scum

I'm saying that claiming Code Red like that and implying it's somehow town contradicts my role as a diet role being an innocent child that needs mod confirmation to be cleared.

If I have a whole ROLE about my power being becoming an innocent child, Dunn's claim and the reaction he was clearly fishing for (which btw wasn't to rub it in someone's face, I think it was to appear town.)

[Dunnstral]

Was still catching up.

LLD I wasn't wrong to vote you, you were making things up about your role and aggressively pushing on me which made the game about you vs me.

UNVOTE: Lady Lambdadelta

Well it's a shame because I'm driving you into the dirt today.

[Dunnstral]

I never implied that code red was town.

[Dunnstral]

And by that I mean I never said the flavor made me town, or meant to imply that.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Because I am a firm believer your claim was motivated to try and earn town credit and that you would never claim your flavour like that as town.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I never implied that code red was town.

Oh come off it. You don't have to say it for people to start looking at that.

I can't think of another motivation for you to claim your flavour there as town. I literally can't.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

(also I was always flipping my role day 1, it's the most important day and having me cleared for it will work a lot. Only delayed to be able to generate the discourse around this first before opening my Lord, as it were.)

You are overthinking this

I have always thought that this game was a normal game with mt dew flavor, and that claiming flavor provides no info. I remember that Code Red was a flavor that the Towelie hydra would be excited about and that's why I brought it up in an exaggerated way. I have no reason to think that Code Red would somehow look more town than any other flavor - I believe any flavor can be either a scum flavor or a scum fake claim, so NAI.

Yes but you're competent enough as scum to know what open claiming that on day 1 in the manner you did gives you a positive feedback from townies in a game like this. I just don't think town you has any motivation to claim it, or rather that your stated motivation holds water.

I think it's scummy, and you are scum who thought my argument was weak and was willing to 1v1 me to make it go away.

There is a virtual edition on steam with online turn-based multiplayer. It was fun but people don't really play any more, and the format with super long turns would have really benefited from being in a browser instead of in a steam game you had to launch, plus it needed to alert you of your turn when the game wasn't open.
