Super angleshoot.
whats the thoughts on the malacat read?
They probably would have repped out as scum if they weren't going to be able to put in the effort to contribute.

Kind of, I'd imagine they would feel worse about lurking out and getting elimmed for it than just repping out and giving the scum replacement a fighting chance.
In post 1686, Tet wrote:I don't take it that way. More like the feeling of being a burden on a scumteam is way higher than as town. Scum have way less wiggle room for error generally speaking.

I'm sort of the same way (not that I would ever rep out if I can help it) but messing up as town won't phase me in any way. It would as scum however.
In post 1687, Tet wrote:I don't think anyone truly cares about their scum record, unless you're FL or something. So I'm speaking from a psychological standpoint.

So here’s my deal with Ircher’s claim hence why I wanted to know if he’s played the role in the past. I hated his reaction of “strange”. The vibe I got with it is it feels scummy. There is a good chance he could be town!ircher that was role blocked by scum!team. Which is a play that scum!team used to get an extra miselim. I also feel like the longer we wait on him the whole non-info we are gonna get.

There’s just something that bugs the ever living fuck out of his claim, but I’m unable to just place it into words from my brain that makes any sense to anyone else.
No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.

I don't remember having any real issue with you this game, Tet.

PEDIT: I disagree based on my read of STD's slot. Would be glad to be wrong though.

Then there’s also the post of that read list. I felt it was townie, but it also could be potentially be scum!ircher trying to survive another day and it was already made & ready to go.

So :torn:

I already explained. I'm too lazy to look up the exact post, but it's in my ISO. As to why not you, you aren't firmly in my town reads. I wanted to message someone who I was sure would confirm it if they did receive it. I don't have that level of trust for your slot.

Nah Mala, I think we're on the same page here. It's a claim that buys time for his team to posture around him, can be ridden indefinitely if town is foolish enough to permit, and which is fairly low in terms of utility so him surviving NKs won't be questioned. It's the perfect "I'm going to lay low and hope I can dodge this bullet" claim.

Which is fine, such things happen. Except that the slot didn't try to town it up any. No interest in scumhunting. Fake looking reads (seems we disagree on that point, but eh).

TFN seems like an awfully weak PR in a theme presumably PR heavy, and scum bothering to block that seems like a waste on their part. Why get someone killed whose entire threat to scum is that they get confirmed town and is likely to get limmed anyway, when they could be searching for more powerful roles?

I agree with that Galron.

I hate the fact that it’s a very confirmable role and it’s a role that scum could potentially use to fake claim at least to live one day. And it’s a good role to be like by scum “Hi i was probably blocked”.

If ircher is scum — I’d bet dollars that he has a strong scum role and needed to stay alive to help the team out.

Idk so I have played with andate two games now. Both games she ended up being mafia and the first game she definitely pinged me as scum. IDK why this game picking up a different vibe, but today her posts are cringeworthy at best, but idk if it’s cringeworthy because it’s scummy or what she saying is just fucking out of this world

Don't worry, I wouldn't make you a medium. A prerequisite for that is repeatedly sniping the thoughts right out of our head.

@Mala, I believe Shrike also said Ircher is probably a keystone scum role on D1. I think that holds -- pay attention to how desperate people are to derail the Ircher wagon, both D1 and D2. It just keeps happening.

Bears, can you tell me your thought process at start of day here?

You think you got poisoned...
...you think scum is going to admit to targeting you?
...you're hoping to out one or more town powers that might have targeted you?

Help me connect the dots.

As for Mold... If the mod is full on about making flavor irrelevant, then the Mold could be anything. But if the mod is even partially keeping good things good and bad things bad, Mold is scum sided.

I really don’t think andate is scum. I really don’t. I do have to meta-dive her to put why I don’t think she’s scum into words and see if what I’m feeling is true. NGL I can’t even read day 1 — do I want to spend what limited time I have trying to stay recent on a game or ruin it by trying to meta.
