open 841: concgratulations to the winners and losers

[flow trap]

in my mind the two felines are death tunneling each other and I will not accept this dynamic as anything other than TvS

which mean we have to flip both of them unless the first flips scum

i suggest we start with the townier looking cat

This is strangely assertive compared to all of your other posts I remember

[flow trap]

Taking that as the implication aside: do you think I should be townreading you here?

I mean I will agree I have been fluffy and less content dense, but that's what I do as Town :3

As I always say if I get the lychee round 1 I flip town

[flow trap]

also im happy to slapfight you again if you want

maybe I should just sheep Datisi would have made last time a lot better

Not really thrilled with skitter's start. I instinctively did not like the statements about catboi and IV, and checked it against several games but it doesn't line up with any she's played with me as either alignment.

Meh.

how does this vote parse with you criticizing Skitter's opening?

Hi everyone. I pretty much agree with Datisi’s thoughts on flow trap not being w/w with SS. It is more likely than not that scum has someone who was aware of SS pattern, but not guaranteed. Having meta numbers seems a little broken lol

this post kinda bothers me tonally. it feels too agreeable (ok and not just because they said I agree with Datisi)

I read virtually none of your posts in the game I replaced you in. So no.

My feelings are absolutely shattered

I like 648 and 649, though

Mmmmm, I was going to post a deep dive but my conclusion is the stuff I was scumreading for you is in fact null and it's too early to tell yet

oh god, i'm so old. why do i constantly do this to myself, where i sign up for a game and then immediately remember that i should just stick to modding. i guess this is about where i'm at though:

{nsg}
{andante, IV, catboi, mare}
{SS, skitter, cakez, SA, flow, pooky, faker} - null
{datisi, midway}

i don't think that i have any particular skill or insight at reading datisi but i don't agree with the thoughts that he's been "chill" this game and that that's alignment indicative somehow. i thought that his initial response to IV's scumread on him seemed sort of forced or performative (and i think that some other people pointed out the same thing or something similar). my thoughts on midway largely mirror what others have already pointed out, his opening is just sort of classically scummy. catboi seemed to indicate that his posting like that is town indicative as based on Chromatic Ascension so that's something to look up but for now that's where he is.

[northsidegal]

oh yeah, i wanted to say this

why do you guys purposely always pick the same numbers

Well I started out just picking it because it was rarely picked but at this point it also deters anyone who's aware of it. This is the first time I've collided and it seems like flow also picked it because it was rarely picked, so that still seems pretty solid.

next time this setup is run and you're playing, whether i join on a secret alt or on my main account i'm pre-committing right now to picking nine. what now? :>

(is this against the rules to say? if it is then i'm just joking)

[Datisi]

is it weird that i actually think nsg is townie for this post? like, if she entered the game townreading me, i'd be concerned. and this feels like something i'd expect from her, at least going from the vibes i got from her playing in my games.

pedit: referring to 661.

[innocentvillager]

yes it’s weird

[Datisi]

thank you iv very cool

{nsg}
{andante, IV, catboi, mare}
{SS, skitter, cakez, SA, flow, pooky, faker} - null
{datisi, midway}

i guess i'll just talk more about this

maybe i should have split this into a billion more tiers or whatever but this is broadly accurate and probably good enough to get a decent understanding of where i'm at. i do think that faker is probably on the upper side of null if not an outright townlean because it seems like there's some weird personal beef going on there between him and mare (who also seems to be an alt whose identity i feel like i should remember but i don't), and i guess i just expect that scum would probably try to focus more on other things. or, if not outright focus on other things, at least make more time for making false reads and general schmoozing and whatever, which it seems like faker isn't doing.

still don't know how to read SS. i find people who seem to not take anything seriously (or who take very little seriously for a majority of the game) difficult if not impossible to read so flow trap is ???? and probably will stay that way. in his short time in the thread cakez agreed with a lot of the same thoughts that i had reading the thread, although i'm not sure whether or not to really take that as towny.

Can confirm

[Datisi]

the question was partly formed that way to invite discussion. partly because i kind of expect some smartass to go "so you agree you're scummy? so you're scum?" and i wanted to shut that down pre-emptively, but i didn't know a good way to do that without writing the whole thing out so i decided to just start with "is it weird" and call it a day.

[northsidegal]

i found it difficult to believe (or i suppose just surprising) that skitter didn't know about SS's always pick nine thing (as she seemed to indicate in one post) but i couldn't find any evidence to the contrary in the very short amount of time i spent looking for it. i'm also curious to hear about skitter's experience with scum!andante which i recall she indicated she had – what was that game like, and what's your impression of how scum andante plays / differs from town andante?

not sure if flow was being serious in 322 but i think that almost everything he listed for why IV was town was a personality tell rather than an alignment tell. i don't really know how relevant it is, i just found it notable.

and finally, to round off the list of random observations that i'm going through, i thought that datisi's 310 was mildly scum indicative for reasons that i would probably find difficult to make sound convincing, and i agreed with catboi's post here (which may be equally as relevant with regards to skitter as it is for datisi?):

This is pretty meh for a vibe read, mostly because Datisi's posting aggressively left very little impression on me so far

I mean ok? That's the vibe i got, it's still early game and that's what i have thus far

Okay but my immediate thought was "is skitter TMIing Datisi town here lmao"

No, and do you have an issue with the andante read as well?

Not in a similar sense - Datisi read felt notable because most of his posting had left aggressively no impression such that the conclusion he was "chill" did not really track at all with my own impression of him. Andante read is more whatever in that I

could

see someone reaching that conclusion, as several other people have. (I'm treading more cautiously and don't think "vibes" or whatever are the best way to read her but think Datisi had a decent point)

oh, basically saying that you townread a post which is calling you scummy even if not necessarily agreeing that you are scummy. sure, i get that.

on the subject, what's your impression of how you've played this game? do you think you've played towny, scummy, neutral / you've been playing resembling your typical towngame / scumgame?
