well I see a bunch of people who have tene/hem as scumreads and I think its better to consolidate pressure on one of them rather than split and have things go slower.

I'm fine with pushing either one atp.

[Nero Cain]

I don't even remember you saying that but point taken

[Save The Dragons]

STD has Wu as the 3rd scummist

my list isn't ordered my bad

[fireisredsir]

also I'm not really keen on scumreading someone for being fluffy this early as opposed to like actively scummy people.

this is p much my take too. he's often fluffy, i don't think it's very AI, i don't think there's a ton to learn from how he responds to pressure based on past games either, and there's other more interesting things to look at

[Datisi]

I don't even remember you saying that but point taken

wait no, brainfart, 376 is about tenebro, not generalwu

point still stands that at some point after i read your case, i did open wu's iso, go "huh, this do be looking like empty shitposting", and then did not comment about it

Would you like to explain any of your opinions, Sir Knight?

its 9 days till dl and there's still a good chunk of players that haven't posted. Seems a lil' early to talk wagon consolidation, no?

[tenebrousluminary]

It is interesting that both the esteemed general and the hungry primate have attracted an influx of defenders.

[fireisredsir]

who are the monkey defenders?

[tenebrousluminary]

Ah, it's just Datisi, isn't it?

[fireisredsir]

would someone just tell me who we are going to kick off the island, monkey or Wu? I need to know where to focus my energy!

also nero was this not you trying to consolidate wagons?

[Datisi]

i've been defending monkey?

[fireisredsir]

Ah, it's just Datisi, isn't it?

not even really datisi, he said monkey was scummy and that he was willing to vote there. just that the play was confusing based on past experiences

[tenebrousluminary]

Okay, you're right.

you're scum aren't you?

[fireisredsir]

you're scum aren't you?

no, im relaxed yet sassy, didn't you hear

can you answer tho what is different in attitudes between that and what ari said

[Nero Cain]

mine was a joke. read tone

[fireisredsir]

the tone did sound like a joke but i didn't really get it, so it just seemed like a weird thing to say. is this that silly boomer humor?

Yes but we are also on page 17 without a real wagon that has heat on it and I'd rather not have an 80 page day one because nobody rereads those and you have a real chance of inducing town apathy through excessive floodposting.

[Nero Cain]

Wu is not a real wagon she says.

Even if you disagree with it its the leading wagon (I presume)

just let things form organicly

[Aristeia]

why would i not push for the people i think are scummy to be wagoned rather than "let things form organicly"?

[skitter30]

going to move Cape90 into my townlist because 215 is too adorable

Agreed on cape, and also hate monkey's half of their interaction with u

@tenebro that's just kinda their dynamic, and its nai, they did the same (as tvt) in the recentky concluded 'bunnies' mini normal

This may be true. I don't plan to completely ignore your experience, but I also am unsure whether I want to let this sort of argument bias how I read players in this game. I think each game can have a unique shape. I am also wary of allowing experienced players to get a leg up by saying this sort of thing, given that I do not plan to fact check any such claims. Players like myself and Yeet do not have this option available. Am I doing us a disservice if I do not question such arguments?

This is fair, i was more just sharing my recent experience thay i thought might shed some light on the dynamic. Its also easily verifiable since i think there's a 5 (?) player overlap between that game and this one

[skitter30]

VOTE: Tenebro

Still not really sure i get the scumreads on them tbh
