ehhh. its fuckin weird for that to b friendly neighbor but not completely outlandish

also that char could be scum technically, u see her w and without hiss possession, so like, tells us not a lot

honestly i think theres no valuable flavor in this game cuz even protagonist technically has an evil version, + lots of off screen chars u can grab for town purposes, like breaking flavor might b main chars are scum LOL


also @ toog like what do u get out of telling my headmate its reads are shit when it just got done sayin that without ur help and it isnt even really paying attention anymore. like is there any reason for u to do this except sheer jerkass behavior.

like do u want to be the meat for today cuz u bother me anyway, ur scum to curse, n it might be easier to line up an elimination on u, so like, if u want to be an asshole we can oblige u???

or u can be like minimally polite instead of talkin shit for literally no reason at all thanks

I would expect typical pattern for a theme game is that mafia are given safe claims, would expect the game to not be breakable on flavor but wanted to check to see if the flavor passes the smell test

tbh my thing w control is thinkin it over u could get away with not even givin safe claims if u picked ur characters right. like helen is both a char of medium importance as a regular badass lady and final boss of the first dlc. u can legit just give one claim there, whos to say what version u mean

What's flagging you to most on Roden?

It's not important. I'm not actively pushing roden right now. I just want a clearer picture of your Roden townread tomorrow since you're seeing something major that I don't.

But not right now.
Well I'm wanting to interact with you now. So whats flagging you most about roden?

-Pinkie the Interrobear
My only real impression of Roden is them on the defensive. Not to say town can't play more reserved roles, but that being my only impression of them it isn't a good one for me.

If he gets defensive and fumbles arguments as town (in a meta sense) does it make them surely town because they don't have the capacity to do the same as scum? That's the only way I'll accept roden is town on a meta level.
Town can definitely play defensively, and reservedly.
If you want meta, go find it. What you've given me here is nothing strongly AI.

Where the reasons I have is that Roden has been actively engaged, looks to have been attempting to solve players and has been acting pretty transparently. The spat with StD was TvT as far as I can deduce.

-Pinkie
we can agree that we disagree. My perspective probably changes depending on Vals alignment. Also I dont want to have to repeat this one conversation with all three heads so I'm cool with just dropping this here.

basically protection devices against the primary antagonists of the game that I can see.

honestly an inventor would fit the bill as well. Again though, flavour isn't breakable or indicative.

Fun fact is the 3 heads talk, compare reads and reasoning.
We can fully agree to disagree - and I have no problem with that .
What I do have a problem with is your evasivness and reluctance to talk more with me.

Lets open this up a little more, you probably realise I like spicy things and there's a common question I'm asking.
Now I'm aiming my Sriracha bottle at you... Gimme something spicy, a read (with some basis), an opinion...

-Pinkie, ~50,000 scovilles currently.
My evasiveness is because us bumping heads doesn't get us any closer to hitting scum today. We could discuss the better option between Andante or Val instead of arguing over whether roden is town or not when I'm not pushing there in the first place. You said he wasn't an option for you, fine I didn't pursue I just wanted something finite when it became relevant.

I'm not sure why it's a pressing issue for you but whatever.

I already gave tictac!scum and mala!town as my spicy reads.
They've just cooled off now that people have looked there and nodded along.

I'm not sure what more you want.

Also your insistence that flavor is irrelevant is weird. It's like the third time you brought it up. If you want to claim something just claim it.

Ok but my first thought there is a protective. Like a bodyguard or something. Which also fits the little bit of lore I read with them trying to destroy the nail(?) Dunno what that is but I'm assuming like a supernatural relic or something.

Oh I completely forgot the other thing with Tictac about them claiming Ascetic. Which is like...fair play as ascetic but I'm always going to be suspicious of an ascetic claim.

ehhhhhhh @tet i dont like val but andante goes first. pls recall i said there were 3 options: ircher andante or whoever decides they can step to us

so im sorry to inform u that val is off the table for the moment



tho if u want reasons why allow me to suggst that u pls compare iso-- andante + dwlee starts badnull, gets to town, tanks nyooooooom down thru the floor 2 scumland

val is just solid scum thru n thru yeah but! V IMPORTANT t3 was THE SCUMMIEST EVER, everyone was like ??? ok thats just ur meta t3 gj. then val replacein. val slot aint as scummy as andante at the worst, theres less iso material, scummy predecessor had multi ppl trying 2 meta clear it, im not so sure on it goin redflip AND im thinking andantes a sure deal redslot

and im top shit until such time as i wreck some poor townie so andantes it for today

thank u for ur cooperation

I was directing that at flea. Like for why I didnt care about the roden read today vs. tomorrow.

I don't have a preference between two slots I think are scummy so wherever the flow goes. As long as it's in that direction.
