Up!

Why do i need to check that for you

I didn't say you "needed to". I made you an offer. Your effort for my vote.

I opened up a notepad and put everyone's names into it and tiered them by feeling/vague memory of the game which... this list feels pretty poor, but I can't place why. I feel good about the top three being town, but the rest is "okay but null." or "not okay but nullish still". It doesn't feel like there's anyone obvious right now.

Part of it is putting both Azaariah and T3 into a tier together? I don't think they're S/S so there's one discrepancy. I don't think that it conveys maybe how unsure I am about people as well as I want but trying to sort with more tiers felt like a futile task.

[Gamma Emerald]

How is S_S at the top for you?

[Holiday]

I don't have a better reply to you "but feelings." S_S just feels town to me and maybe I'll try to verbalize it later but I've had that sense for the majority of the game.

[Holiday]

(A theme, me and "but later", but time is... not infinite, sadly.)

[Something_Smart]

You're starting to sound like T3

And April tbh, but his read on me is always wack early on.

[Something_Smart]

I kinda want to just kill T3 unless he can justify his read on me because it feels like he's trying to frame me as his partner or something

[Holiday]

Yeah, I know it's not an effective way of communicating, but it's a majority of how I'm sorting right now.

[Gamma Emerald]

Eh possibly
I know T3 kinda forces positions as scum without rlly thinking about them

[Almost50]

I don't have a better reply to you "but feelings.

Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
Trying to forget my feelings of love.
Teardrops rolling down on my face,
Trying to forget my feelings of love.
Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl
You'll never come again.
Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
Wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.

[Almost50]

OK, this has nothing to do with the game, but it has been bugging me for quite a few days with no explanation at all:

Whenever I open my subscription page, and no matter where this thread is placed on the screen, the mod's name under the thread title appears like this:

MegAzumar

ill

If I look at her name inside the thread, or in her profile, or in other games.. or literally anywhere else in the site it appears as normal (all white). Only in the case I described above do I get the "ill" in light pink.

Can anyone even think of an explanation to this phenomenon?

[NorwegianboyEE]

Why do i need to check that for you

I didn't say you "needed to". I made you an offer. Your effort for my vote.

It’ll have to be tommorow then. And after i’ve been on a trip.
And then if i bother when i come back.

[Hella Jeff]

mini catchup time go~!

[Hella Jeff]

I’ve been playing like I normally do: attempting to form reads off of posts

hella jeff strawman fluff butt......... isn't this what everyone does?

Holiday - i forget about them, and i generally like what they say. This is actually a red flag. This is probably gonna be my highest scum read right now, but honestly, none of my deeper scum reads are that strong. I think scum is playing it safe, as I said with that Andante a bit back.

you don't believe in town at first sight? :0
our experiences with holiday will obv be different because we don't share the same thought processes, but i think they're more than a generally likeable slot to me. like, if i were to sort people 'playing it safe', i'd put myself below holiday, there's more than a few of his posts where it's like he takes the hidden opinions inside my brain and flaunts them

geraintm - a lot of focus on day 1 reads not meaning anything, honestly, this is right in line with how i feel geraint feels about day 1, and i understand that's how he thinks.

however, he might just be stating a fact about his mafilosophy, which could be coming from scum.

speaking of flaunting, i do see a lot of that pattern among your top town and nobody else. t3, geraint, and S_S to an extent have all done it.
throwaway observation i know

but i would like to clarify that my lack of doing stuff is nai
in fact when i'm demotivated i'm usually town

i thought the demotivation was related to outside stresses? how much is that a factor?

[Hella Jeff]

also, crazy amount of people townreading SS, enough for me to consider rebuilding that read

[Hella Jeff]

2nd - i dont know who paula is

i also......... Dont like your treatment of T3 but thats something ill EXPAND on later.
cool things happen later

3rd ^^^ i dont know who this is referrring to

paula = osuka
and the other post was for norwee
i still need to do that btw. keep reminding me

[Hella Jeff]

this page of andante's posts actually looks pretty good now that i'm reading it. i read a couple of this posts earlier but i definitely feel some towny mindset seeping from these posts. andante's so offended at the idea that they are scum that i think it probably does come from town. i haven't seen my tell yet but im actually ok with retracting my last long post and unvoting for now. UNVOTE:

oh and yeah my bad, thanks for pointing out that one again

waow
ngl you trying to pursue why free spirit hadn’t posted is probtown bcuz scum imo tend to be more aware of stuff like, idk, people switching to their mains?

toned down but more likely version of the post i feel is that they aren't SvS
Shrug

[April Ludgate]

oo, the fightback against Holiday makes me feel good about my read.

[Hella Jeff]

In case of an investigation by any federal entity or similar, I do not have any involvement with the Mafia or with the people in it, I do not know how I am hard aligned with them, probably a false narrative by similarly nefarious thrid parties, I do not support any actions by the members of the Mafia.

[Hella Jeff]

K i finished the A50 towncase, gonna withhold it until you guys figure out what you want to do with the slot

[Hella Jeff]

something something too early to handhold something something must let it play out

[geraintm]

well maybe i do scum read t3. but i feel that way with just about everyone considering me as a possibility today. it's annoying that there are no actual reasons to be pushing me.
geraint says "one naughty point for you for jumping from one failed wagon to another" which is ??? given my aggressive pushes, you really think i would've just given up or you think im afraid to be 1v1ing? the aggressive pushes just dont come from scum but even if they did, they mean i am playing the risky game. then why would i hold back? andante is still a very real mislim option and i had built up a lot on them. even more, i decide to post a huge post about why andante needs to die even as town right before a 180 shift to a townread and a completely retracted push? make that make sense.

I am afraid i am going to have to respond to this from Aza. The reason for my vote wasn't "a naughty point for switching wagons".
It was "So far this game i have given 4 naughty points, and 3 were to Aza, and a 75% rate going to one person feels noteworthy.
the 3 times were not all for switching wagons. One was a naked vote just to generate pressure with no explanation.
one was for admitting you don't believe in the things you are saying - which makes you impossible to read and is awful
3rd was for the quick switch of wagons when your big initial push was stalling.

you keep on saying "Geraint is voting me because i moved wagons" is not correct and has annoyed me enough to explain to you. and i can't work out if you are deliberately focussing on one part so you can try and refute it, or if you just weren't aware of all the times i've noted things about you that have caught my interest.

As of right now i'm TL-ing: Azaariah, Geraintm, Gamma, Jeff, Osuka.

vote andante. lets see some pressure

Naughty poijt for you

can i first say i hate how many people are already tieing someone's alignment to others.

well, to be honest, i dont totally believe some of the points i've said mostly

naughty point for you.

ok. i want t3 at the moment.

naughty point for you. your first push has failed and you are off onto the next one...

[geraintm]

If I didn't bring it up a cop may have checked me

makes sense. as i said i have zero experience with the role.

either way, i dont scum read t3. i am **okay** with it.

you make it really easy to keep a vote on you

I don’t wanna vote in my townblock rn
Currently that’s (April, HJ, Holiday*, Norwee)
Anything else I’ll vote if I have to pretty much

*ngl I haven’t seen much of this person recently so maybe I should review this read

i have no idea how people have town blocks just from posting. i can sometimes get read on people in day 2 that i thing are strongly likely to be town (wiki last game) but that is through a combination of votes and talking. but to have huge groups of people...baffles me/

i have zero idea how i can be top scum. im never anyone's top scum. policy eliminations day 1 year, but no one actually ever thinks im scum

[T3]

VOTE: t3

im alright with this. i think hella jeff is town still despite some previous concerns there. andante is off the table. they're just town.

Literally voting the top wagon with a bs explanation just to save yourself

haha

Please do not refer to people by avatar in voting.

understood

i've thought about this for a pretty long amount of time and it still strikes me as extremely strange. the reason im not clear on the motivation is because it could be purely to shade or it could be tmi. either way i think the Andante is still scum.

what is andante doing

playing the game. what do you what from me?

I KNOW yall missed me when the game started but have no fear!!! doggo is here!!!

their iso is pretty long but im not going to dig through this all. posts like these two come right after each other.

andante hasn't actually done anything this game besides shade and pocket players. it may be that their personality is bright and cheery but people like that tend to be a little more trusting or extremely paranoid depending on which side they lean towards. this is highly likely to just be scum play.

i've posted a forth of andante's post count yet i can say with certainty that i've said more on the game than andante has.

AGREED.
VOTE: andante
