This is true, I don't usually have the willingness to slap down my own partners when they put in earnest efforts.
Uh, assuming they're scum this game, which I'm not really. I've been really up and down on them all game.

we can't lose if we never defuse more than 3 bombs.

so n2/n3 we can just defuse those bombs and negate the mafia bomb assignments if they put them in our towncore

like N1 even if they blow up 2 people outside towncore, we can use 3 defusals on towncore in N2/3/4 gets us to D5 without really a worry.

Pretty much, one of the things about Baltar that I find sort of difficult to parse (in that I naturally TR people for this) is that they seem to or tend to try collaborating on players they're signaling that they think are town.

It's hard to tell if they're tactically buddying certain players or their are just certain players they're particularly interested in hearing their opinions. They've also put in a lot of effort in engagement this game.
I do think how Catboi recently commented on Baltar points to there being +funny points to VP baltar being scum because I tend to think that Town Peta tends to dead center scum in their reads. But that's for a wry universe in a narrative sense more than an actual take on my part, though maybe there is something to that. If you're waiting me to come to a conclusion or to some kind of point, you're going to be here a while.

They're the manifestation of Pooky's darkside. Pooky's shadow self portrayed to himself as his anima embodied and to others as a female alt.

Brain boiling from difficult work week. Emotional lability that I don't quite understand, sort of feeling like I want to cry just out of sheer, "I can't really process all of this." stuff.
I can't articulate it well. I'm just trying to emotionally regulate I think by putting myself down and to bed when I'm done for the day and feel myself about to go off into thoughtless comments or something.

An aside:
Pooky Posse, Pooky personality cult, Pookybomb squad.
:shifty: sigh. I shouldn't realy see anything into that, but it always triggers me a little when I see him do that, jut due to how many times they've done it as scum, even though I think they do it as town(?) too.
I like Pooky Personality Cult for Towncore A. Who's even in Towncore B?
In post 1246, PookyTheMagicalBear wrote:Frogster/Greeting/Cephrir/Titus for the other team?
I feel uncertain about Towncore B's alignment and yet somehow completely willing to roll with them anyway. I heavily suggest they post a readslist ASAP (so I can use their reads for my synthesized list and for there to be enough time in the day for scum to be uncertain how much has changed) and that they fill out the survey when I post it.

That's a good call. If you're in a creative mindset instead of a logical one do you have any name suggestions for Towncore B?


The trios going in night 2 and 3 can be Towncore C team and Towncore D team respectively, and they can both have their own names as well. I feel like I'm in Zero Time Dilemma.

I also don't have any reason to think Titus is town, but looking at the player list, I can't really find an eighth name I feel good about healing

I wanted to wait until
GuiltyLion
comes back and question him, but he didn't show up.

VOTE: GuiltyLion

The reason for this is a very specific type of scumread, which is relying on consensus reads. Consensus reads, in my opinion, useless and counterproductive for town right now, but very useful for scum. The pool of townies should be a sum of individual townreads. Not "x is town because y is town and townreads x". Forming associations like this Day 1 is a bad strategy as they are unsupported by any hard data as to whom is voting out whom and whom is nominating for bomb expert (which is equated to being a townread in this game). We'll get the hard data once Day 1 is over. Right now this is just constantly shifting and it's not uncommon for mafia to be distancing themselves from one another.

In post 765, Greeting wrote: There is definitely scum in:
Lukewarm
,
Cephrir
and
VP Baltar
.
I don't think
Cephrir
is scum and thinks one step ahead like that. I feel like this was a legitimate suggestion. But I think it's going to materialise itself anyway: by kind of all of town sending their strongest consensus reads (not the kind of consensus reads I was talking about in ) and the softer townreads, which are more null by definition to solve the second bomb.

Would this mean that there is scum in:
Lukewarm
and
VP Baltar
?
In post 1112, VP Baltar wrote: Eh, not really. I was alluding to preserving townreads in , though tbf, it was still a half baked idea there and more me thinking about how hard it will be to get 8 townreads today that people agree on.
I mean, even if we consider the fact that was before
Cephrir
pointed out what I was talking about earlier, I agree with
Cephrir
that the way
VP Baltar
dropped was meant to question that townread I got. And possibly pocket me to townread him in
Cephrir
