That is without the extra 2 days. I was originally going to add them after thanksgiving.

Yeah, I was suggesting Roden and Galron could have coordinated trying to mislim Almost and then myself. I do think Almost is town, and I think my wagon has had very flimsy justification for it overall, which would imply scum activity.

Also I didn't read most of your meta research, sorry. It was just a bunch of no context quotes. If you or someone else points to specific things in this game that relate to meta, then I'll pay attention.

Can I do literally anything this game without somebody complaining about it

Like A50 do you think we have any leads whatsoever? Can we genuinely scum read anyone when less than half the players are even posting and literally every single person under pressure just chooses to roll over and die instead of pushing their scum reads? RH9 just got here yet they've added more content than some players who've been here since Day 1.

All I can do is vote and see how people react because literally nothing else is working. I can't even question people without them shutting down or acting like scum hunting is inherently toxic and that I need to stop talking. It took me almost two entire weeks to figure out what the fuck Gamma's read on me was, and even then he just replaced out afterwards anyway so it didn't even matter.
First: I wasn't complaining. I was asking for an explanation, which you seem to have provided in your third paragraph. Maybe you could have typed that one first, but I understand sometimes one feels like letting out some of the mental pressure.

Second: I agree we don't have many leads. However, I still don't know WHY numberQ in particular. Why get the guy to E-1 "just to see what happens"?

Third: Based on #2, why won't you switch your vote to Egix at this time?

How do you feel about eliminating Galron, then? I feel better about Roden then Galron.
VOTE: Galron for coordinating the 'miselimination'.

Hmm. I don't know, I still like Egix for the lim. Their play has been scummier than Roden and Galron imo. Plus, them flipping scum will give us a lot more info than one of the other two flipping scum, at least in terms of lending validity to my theory. Maybe there are other associations that a Roden or Galron flip would shed light on that I'm not thinking of.

The conversation right now is mostly about the wagons that are currently happening, so probably necessary to at least read the current day. Beyond that, this game has honestly been pretty slow.

pedit: Well I'm voting Egix and have been SRing him since day 1. I think his lim will help build associations on Roden and/or Galron. Maaaybe RH9, though at the moment I think that's a flimsier connection. I've talked about this in previous posts this day.

Gamma
supports
Pooky's
scumreads, and while that's the basis of
"
Pooky

, but why does he go after
Pooky
and not the solve that he agrees with, first? Meaning, why doubtcast 3 players only to say the 4th is supposedly the person who prompted this?

Peta
being like
"oh, that makes sense"
is also weird, lmao, especially since his vote is still on
Cakez
which I presume is serious.

But then again, why does
Ydrasse
sus a partner with almost no prompt?

Actually, why doesn't
Ydrasse
point a finger at
Pooky
for a solve that would be so opposed to her viewpoint of the game? So I can see the
"gotcha"
argument, but like the pressure she places on
Gamma
.

I believe you're referring to my reaction to you. "Not trying to sway me" meant not trying to sway me you were town, not that you were trying to sway me to take any specific action. If you're referring to my presented motivation regarding wanting either unilateral action or out of the game entirely, I previously forced exactly that scenario on page 1 out of tilt, and later voted to concede the same game as town. I have alluded to similar as town.

My reacting with sheer disgust at bad reasoning and play is not an attractive quality of mine but is nothing new.
Oh. That makes more sense. OK, trust is being built here.

I'm trying to decide how genuine
Pooky's
trust in me is, especially that he has since made a solve and I'm merely dipping my toes into reading this game.

I want to lean in and townread but there's a lot that can be interpreted from his posts and potential motives.

There doesn't seem to be much in favor of people wanting to vote town for the electric chair, which perplexes the fuck out of me that
Prism
has as many votes as they do.
In post 303, Infinity 324 wrote:or you could give a spicy gut take about someone you haven't played with
Prism's
tilt didn't feel genuine at first glance. Not meaning to invalidate any of their sincere feelings, but they've come across as
"I'm gunning for x, but I won't explain y and z to you."
But this is likely playstyles clashing. It's giving me
kittybell
!scum powerwolf/openwolf flashbacks.

If I had tried to sway them from self-wagoning, I wonder how different would've looked. Despite my critiques, I currently think they're likelier town, so the wagon doubly vexes me.

I want
Ulyana
to come in and give non-setup takes before I give an opinion.

Peta's
not caught my eye much, tbh.
In post 303, Infinity 324 wrote:i think you're towny but the last wall felt a little like your walls in student council, so it made me doubt my read a bit.
That's fair. I'm arguably at my weakest in large themes, but this is a dumb excuse.

The best way for you to solve me here is to continually pick my brain as you are now - that'll wake me up, or at least someone else.
Taly wrote:This back and forth is painful to read through.

This sort of narrative deflection does not look well on you.
Gamma Emerald wrote:So your issue with me boils down to how I’m interacting with certain slots
That’s just how I am, so this feels like at best you’ve taken my play style as a sure sign I’m scum. Sheesh.

And I don’t think I can really get everyone to vote you out over me but I beg everyone to not overlook how much machismo Prism is trying to exude in this interaction with me. She is the epitome of r/iamverybadass imo.
It seems like you're talking to other players about
Prism
but you're in a 1v1 with
Prism
directly.

Prism wrote:I think you're scum that has bitten off more than you can chew, that you're flying by the seat of your pants and are spewing garbage in the hopes that you find something, and I am more than eager to punish you for it.
Don't punish the playerlist either. Your posts are informative but dense. I want a concise POV on your progression from
"give me the chair"
to
"eliminate
Gamma
"
.

p-edit

Prism wrote:I'll take a step back and let others play the game, and potentially let Gamma breathe for a moment if he's town and prevent making this labyrinthine and inaccessible if he is scum.

To say I am unconvinced is an understatement though, I strongly want to flip him.

It's too early in the game to be voting someone because 'I don't think any of their paid actor reads are bad and I usually do' when Gamma has other valid suspicions.

It may just be inoptimal play over paid actor play though, since the reasons for his other suspicions are reasonable.
Only post that stuck out so far from them. I don't think
Saber/Gamma
is S-S.

Gamma
is approaching
"at threat of getting the chair"
aggro and I don't think a scumbuddy willingly incriminates themselves to defend a less than optimistic cause. At least, that's my presumption of a typical player I have no experience with.

The interpretation that
Gamma
is actually town means that
Saber
might be deepwolfing. But that's too stretchy to assume at this stage, and in poor faith.

I think
Saber
weighing the possibilities behind the posts that rile people up about
Gamma
is in good-faith, and likeliest town.

TLDR

T/T or T/S.
Saber
likely town.

Gamma

Well, if Egix96 is Mafia, then are you suggesting that Roden and Galron aren't Town. Honestly, Galron feels more Towny now.

reads are too good to be true"
, but why does he go after
Pooky
and not the solve that he agrees with, first? Meaning, why doubtcast 3 players only to say the 4th is supposedly the person who prompted this?

Peta
being like
"oh, that makes sense"
is also weird, lmao, especially since his vote is still on
Cakez
which I presume is serious.

But then again, why does
Ydrasse
sus a partner with almost no prompt?

Actually, why doesn't
Ydrasse
point a finger at
Pooky
for a solve that would be so opposed to her viewpoint of the game? So I can see the
"gotcha"
argument, but like the pressure she places on
Gamma
.

I believe you're referring to my reaction to you. "Not trying to sway me" meant not trying to sway me you were town, not that you were trying to sway me to take any specific action. If you're referring to my presented motivation regarding wanting either unilateral action or out of the game entirely, I previously forced exactly that scenario on page 1 out of tilt, and later voted to concede the same game as town. I have alluded to similar as town.

My reacting with sheer disgust at bad reasoning and play is not an attractive quality of mine but is nothing new.
Oh. That makes more sense. OK, trust is being built here.

I'm trying to decide how genuine
Pooky's
trust in me is, especially that he has since made a solve and I'm merely dipping my toes into reading this game.

I want to lean in and townread but there's a lot that can be interpreted from his posts and potential motives.

There doesn't seem to be much in favor of people wanting to vote town for the electric chair, which perplexes the fuck out of me that
Prism
has as many votes as they do.
In post 303, Infinity 324 wrote:or you could give a spicy gut take about someone you haven't played with
Prism's
tilt didn't feel genuine at first glance. Not meaning to invalidate any of their sincere feelings, but they've come across as
"I'm gunning for x, but I won't explain y and z to you."
But this is likely playstyles clashing. It's giving me
kittybell
!scum powerwolf/openwolf flashbacks.

If I had tried to sway them from self-wagoning, I wonder how different would've looked. Despite my critiques, I currently think they're likelier town, so the wagon doubly vexes me.

I want
Ulyana
to come in and give non-setup takes before I give an opinion.

Peta's
not caught my eye much, tbh.

That's fair. I'm arguably at my weakest in large themes, but this is a dumb excuse.

The best way for you to solve me here is to continually pick my brain as you are now - that'll wake me up, or at least someone else.

That’s just how I am, so this feels like at best you’ve taken my play style as a sure sign I’m scum. Sheesh.

And I don’t think I can really get everyone to vote you out over me but I beg everyone to not overlook how much machismo Prism is trying to exude in this interaction with me. She is the epitome of r/iamverybadass imo.
It seems like you're talking to other players about
Prism
but you're in a 1v1 with

directly.

There are a million other motivations but I want to be direct here.

Don't punish the playerlist either. Your posts are informative but dense. I want a concise POV on your progression from
"give me the chair"
to
"eliminate
Gamma
"
.

p-edit

Prism wrote:I'll take a step back and let others play the game, and potentially let Gamma breathe for a moment if he's town and prevent making this labyrinthine and inaccessible if he is scum.

To say I am unconvinced is an understatement though, I strongly want to flip him.
Thank you :)

Prism’s desire to be acquitted was a little skeevy and his reaction to being sussed was to claim joke which while technically valid doesn’t negate what actual tangible game thoughts he displayed with his joke
Ydrasse trying to jump in on the pockit fun felt a little overwrought
It's too early in the game to be voting someone because 'I don't think any of their paid actor reads are bad and I usually do' when Gamma has other valid suspicions.

It may just be inoptimal play over paid actor play though, since the reasons for his other suspicions are reasonable.
Only post that stuck out so far from them. I don't think
Saber/Gamma
is S-S.

Gamma
is approaching
"at threat of getting the chair"
aggro and I don't think a scumbuddy willingly incriminates themselves to defend a less than optimistic cause. At least, that's my presumption of a typical player I have no experience with.

The interpretation that
Gamma
is actually town means that
Saber
might be deepwolfing. But that's too stretchy to assume at this stage, and in poor faith.

I think
Saber
weighing the possibilities behind the posts that rile people up about
Gamma
is in good-faith, and likeliest town.

TLDR

T/T or T/S.
Saber
likely town.

Sorry, Taly. I first mix up Roden with Prism and Wisdom and now I confused you with Titus.

Plus, them flipping scum will give us a lot more info than one of the other two flipping scum, at least in terms of lending validity to my theory. Maybe there are other associations that a Roden or Galron flip would shed light on that I'm not thinking of.
You do realise that if I were scum, it would have been +ev for me to lolhammer you? Sure, that would have been outing, but it ensures you would've died before me.

, how do you feel about the others' wagon and potential lim?
I doubt number flips scum here. Roden's logic for voting him was flawed as has already been mentioned, so it astounds me that three people just silently followed it. (No, saying "sure" doesn't count.)

The play here is to follow my vote because otherwise I don't think there's any chance we hit scum.

This is Taly as Mafia (for real, I didn't mistake Taly for Titus again) in Micro 1031.
Taly wrote:We could take a holistic approach to this, especially D1.

We increase our odds of being viewed as T/T universally who vibe if we try to actually solve for the games we are not scum in.

Basically, we try to minimize our cognitive bias of knowing each other's alignment in 1 game, by focusing on the other 2 games.

This is harder and likely to harm us the longer we take this approach, but the mechanics of D1 protect us as it's less clear why someone votes the way they do, since one vote is for all games.

The only restriction is that we can't even mention or hint that we're in a PT, since 2 of my 3 lovers are claimed, and 3 of yours are.

What are your first impressions of your lovers?

All right, I'll make 6 statements of my own just to make this a little more fun. ;)

1. Cheeky
is scum in at least one game.
2. Not_Mafia

Amy
are not S/S in any game.
3.
I am not voting any of my lovers this phase.

Math is a distraction.

Make 6 and I will sheep at least one.

My lovers are as follows:

The reason why one name is blurred is because they haven't confessed personally that I am their lover in a game. I will respect their silence as a "no" until I confirm in PT what they want. The process may be long and arduous, since we've only communicated through anime GIFs in it and I don't foresee an altering trajectory right now.
