Micro 1052: Lake Melancholy [END]

[VP Baltar]

Ok, here are my current feelings:

Town:

Datisi
Enchant
Ari
skitter
Dwlee

Null:
Suichi
Prism

Scum:
fire

I'd probably be willing to lim Prism if people won't come over to fire here. I think Prism has been a bit static for a long ass time now, the mech points away from her being town, and frankly, I don't want to read Prism/Ari fighting for anymore days because it's fucking annoying.

[VP Baltar]

Do not follow why people want to lim Baltar

he's scummy and skitter got less scummy

Does he ever even give a reason for this? This is a read of convenience. How the fuck did I get more scummy when I wasn't even able to start posting until this afternoon?

[VP Baltar]

And i think scum were trying to flip me more than pocket me .... why would they be pocketing me here ... ?

The absolute best time to pocket anybody is when they are on the ropes. You want to build that bridge when the victim is at their weakest so they feel like they need you. Worst case scenario, town still plows through the yeet and you get to say "I told you they were town!"

[VP Baltar]

Fire is like a cup of chamomile tea this game. Absolutely the most boring tea ever made.

he is saying friendly things and not mixing it up with anyone. Despite taking multiple shots at me over the day, he never votes me until Datisi does?

he has some "yeah I feel that way too" stuff toward Datisi and Suichi as well which struck me as pockety.

I sort of wrote fire's boring play off early as his typical slowness to get into the game, but based on the PoE of my town reads, he's most likely just scum here trying to be the wallpaper.

[VP Baltar]

does fire ever take a stance on Prism in this game?

I'm done fighting with Prism.

? That's a really good time to flip them, no?

[Aristeia]

Only friendly banter from my end from now on

Depends, I think you're a good player and if I was scum, I'd want you in my pocket.

skitter, do you actually see progression in fire's read on you or just him saying "she's less scummy now"?

ok, fine.

why did it take datisi voting me before you were finally willing to vote me?

[Prism]

I'm home and catching up now.

I swear to God more mafia posts get made and serious reading done during Monday work hours than the rest of the week combined

[fireisredsir]

does fire ever take a stance on Prism in this game?

no, not really. my impression of prism so far is that i don't feel like she's someone i can be very confident in a read in either direction, and im not likely to catch her as scum unless its later in the game and looking at more positional stuff. im not gonna pretend to have a solid stance on her yet, but i plan to keep an eye in that direction

[skitter30]

skitter, do you actually see progression in fire's read on you or just him saying "she's less scummy now"?

He had a few posts along thosw lines, and i think its a townie read because i think scum continues to push me there, and doesnt really back off ...

Pedit i know >.>

I can't remember, did you keep calling me scum after I was the first person to back off you?

[fireisredsir]

ok, fine.

why did it take datisi voting me before you were finally willing to vote me?

datisi is an inspiration and gives me the courage to fight on

actual answer is that i was also feeling like skitter's response to the latest pressure was kinda towny, and him voting you meant that it was possible to wagon you and see where that goes. i have been wanting to wagon you or skitter for a while now, i started with skitter but was happy going either way

Why not just start it if you wanted it for awhile

I can't wait for the Prism lecture about the reflexive stepback being a staple of good scum play

[Aristeia]

Does anyone actually think VPB is asking questions in good faith trying to figure things out

[fireisredsir]

bc i liked skitter wagon more until her response swayed me

[fireisredsir]

i think its possible enough that i plan to continue answering them

[Prism]

I actually don't think fireisredsir is experienced enough to have it cleanly in the repertoire but I'd have to see the full context.

[Aristeia]

I'm not great at spelling thank you
