Prism wasn't the most townie by the end of it all, but that's because everybody else drowned her out. Posts like (, , , ) give amazing reads on the gamestate. Wasn't Prism the first person to point out how horrible Cabds read on Catboi was..? You know, the one yall drowned the chat with
forever
? As well, posts like (, , ) show off her willingness to be a sacrifice/die. That doesn't benefit scum at all, since this game is always changing, if she was scum, how would she be confident her scum teammates and their dance partners would make it long enough to endgame..? That wouldn't be a guarantee, so why is she offering herself up like this if shes scum?

Norwegianboyee literally said in "So i won’t accept anything until i know what i’m doing." but people such as Datisi, Firebringer, Guiltylion and probably more have brought this up as a point against him. But literally before Taly even proposed Norwee laid out what he was gonna do???? Thats such an easy and bs thing to push for an elim, that it cant help but make me think people are capitalizing on it. Hes also done some good questions/reads such as (, , , , ). also makes quite alot of sense considering what he told me in the private thread, and I don't think he would fake that considering ?? i can just check ?? not that hard LMAO. He has more good posts that I could go on quoting, but thats a bit redundant. His attitude has been something that really stood out to some people, but thats just normal Norwee. I know based on his personality and general playstyle hes a pretty easy miselim (my very first game with him, he was the d1 miselim and scum wasn't even
on
his wagon) and that's something people may capitlize on
if hes town here.
Also everything he's promised me in our private thread, hes done.. his thoughts line up perfectly, that it really just seems too hard for scum to fake.

Not_mafia is not mafia clearly. :oops:
Spoiler:
felt the need to do this since i was doing paragraphs on each era of the slot and didn't want him to feel left out :cry:


I really feel like we shouldn't be aiming to get people out just based off of playstyle, instead I think we should be doing whos the most sus. Picking off people based off of playstyle things, when their slot hasn't really been all that sus is ?? and only helps scum.

The dissonance between the major case against
Norwe
and the reasons I've asserted suspicion have not gone unnoticed, it's just that my points never got addressed and I don't know why
Norwe
self-destructs and presumes that scum has won already when we've got 16 players alive.

Like, I interpret this as
Norwe
telling me that I'm either completely blind to catching scum (TMI in some form imo, either discouraging me from a correct read or knowing that I am incorrect), or that he is just imploding from the pressure's growth. It does not read to me as frustration that is exclusive to a town mentality.

And now I can't discern this further so this is WIFOM and
NM
is not a player conducive to elucidating this.

I want to hear what
Norwe
was like in your PT,
Marci
. How big was it? What did y'all talk about?

I’m thinking Marci’s likey town based off of that last post.

People ask why I have the reads I do, some are based off logic, others’ gut. I keep trying but my gut doesn’t feel confident on gl for some reason but I can’t yet put my finger on it yet.

It’s open to change of course but something is preventing from saying, yeah, I think he’s town here. He still may be but my gut doesn’t feel confident in that.

I’m thinking I was wrong on galron though and that slot could have been miselimbait but obviously many slots are fooling me here obviously if this is the best I’ve got.

I’m not sure how I felt about Titus’ reaction to gl getting wagoned though, because if she thinks he’s scum why not start her own wagon, so I’m also paranoing on Titus now as well despite my LLD read. *shrug*

I skimmed a few things and I suddenly have a strong townread that I didn't have before

but I don't want to out it just yet since I need to double check that it makes sense with the rest of the game before really solidifying it

@marci, at what point did you start thinking Prism/Norwee slot was town?

also, who would you say is picking people off of playstyle things? I don't like the last bit of the post without you offering any specific names and players you are thinking are more suspicious than Norway

I'm not set on a
Norwe
lim but the proposal being a playstyle grievance still does not reflect the fact that his reply to
Ydrasse's
vote was both flippant and defensive, or that I prodded him at least once to combat my assertions and he receded.

It read like an admission of guilt.

And this isn't just me prompting a more thorough read on
Norwe
from you,
Marci
, I want to hear more from
GL
on why he's spent the majority of his focus lately reiterating the same point about
Norwe's
progression on the proposal. It feels overkill.

I don't think Marci's post is necessarily town at all

my issue with it is I can't really decipher whether it's more likely that it's a town mindset or scum mindset that creates that post considering my issues with it

also, who was "drowning the chat"? This feels like a weird characterization around the narrative around Cabd - like yeah, it came up a bunch of times and a lot of people wanted Smart limmed as soon as he replaced in, but there was still a lot of other discussion going on around the time too

because Norway's only sitting at 5 votes (6 now after you joined on his replace out), and a bunch of slots like RH9, HQ, marci appear to be townreading Norwee and unwilling to vote there

+1

I was going to c & p his response in Squid game before he repped out of that. I probably would have townlocked him in that, were it not for koba wrongly scumlocking him.

He just gave up and didn’t even try to fight off the srs like he did in that game. When he replaced out in Squid game, he had put up a really decent fight and just finally gave up but he didn’t really put up two much if a fight in this one.

And NM isn’t doing anything to help with that.

Oh really? I viewed it as Marci tr Norwee because her post sounded like she had conviction in that read. I do wonder why she didn’t pair with Angie however because I think that’s probably one if not the main reasons she likey signed up for this, based off how badly she wanted to play with Marci.

@Marci did you sr Angie? Is that why you didn’t pair with her?

Remind me GL when did I say that Norwee is Town. I'm willing to vote N_M. I just want N_M to out his reads.

I've townread them for awhile because I could not attach a scum agenda and they've been generally a pleasant slot this game, plus some mindmelding at certain points that aren't at the top of my head.

I think their stances so far have not been very unique so it is not a strong read either way.

I don't know

I'm pretty easily blindsided by the more oldschool players and STD seems like one of them

it's just kinda yikes since that pairing is the most likely third pairing I think I can be confident in reading TvT but I'm really not confident I can read STD well enough to do that

eh ok fair, you haven't called him a townread, but you did push back against my case on him and did seem to be reluctant to vote there after your initial vote/unvote

maybe I read too much into you lawyering for him last night
