from the first run of this setup concept

if you think someone is malefactor - the play is to ignore them - not eliminate. (until we are ahead then its ok to do so but even so)

lukewarm i believe pretty much botched their miller fakeclaim in that game and we just ignored that slot (or whoever was the malefactor.

also like jokes exist
i agree that it was joke, even if she was scum.

I do believe Ydrasse would make that joke as scum, though.

Not that i think it's a good reason to vote her, I just think you gotta just let them wear it out.

Or pressure Ydrasse, either way's good.

I think I've been fairly consistent in being willing to join wagons with my townreads/on people I scumread, and less interested in wagons led by people I scumread/on people I don't scumread. I think Nashville Dreams' analysis of it is in bad faith, and is setting out to prove a narrative that she came up with. Still would love to vote there, but it seems that's not happening toDay anymore.

How is their analysis in bad faith?

Frankly, I see the analysis, and understand why it's seen as scummy. I do believe there is high merit in scum reading you, i am more tone/gut objective looking at you, where Titus is specifically coming from an analytical Vote Count Analysis side, something she's been doing for a while.

She has also stated that Catboi suspicion, and it led to tictac, which led to you, so I see that trajectory as incredibly valid and more likely to come from town than scum.

speaking of, Megazu, Cat Scratch, and Toogeloo also all join that hippity hoppity on Catboi, regardless of Catboi alignment, there's scum in there.

Norwegian was there as well, even if they didnt hippity hop.

So Megazu, Cat Scratch, Toogeloo, Tictac, Ydrasse is the Hippity Hop Club, and that's a scummy place but they know how to party.

keeper thinks they can cite things that i have not seen myself yet as evidence since they think i cant refute it when like the game is literally right there and im going to go straight into it and as I am sure i am right - I will find they are incorrect.

also the points of "one liners" - I never said "one liners" were scummy.

and "being quiet"

like damn .... sounds like a lot of not actually disproving the actual case against tictac and trying to brute force the case being waved away ...

I see it as in bad faith because she's twisting things to apply to the narrative that she came up with. Under no circumstances can the tictac wagon be referred to as a counter to catboi, yet she claimed it was, because that suits what she's trying to prove. It's funny how much you insist that she can't be scum because she hasn't tried to pocket you, when she completely inverted her reads to align with yours and then when called out on it just handwaved it away.

You provided a single run.

I can say I've done a Lamb/Mega Santa/Delirium run in one and it doesn't make me good at the game.

You used an outlier game, and the mini games play entirely differently to large.

Oddly off point for you actually.
Notice Keeper is discrediting me here- but not actually providing a real counter argument.
Discrediting a flawed argument is a perfectly valid response. You're expecting a macro response to a case you've fine tuned with different parameters.

Code: Select all

Total random samples of 4 items taken: 1,000,000
Total with NO scum: 113,224 (11.322400%)
Total with Mafia: 561,842 (56.184200%)
Total with Wolf: 562,500 (56.250000%)
Total with Malefactor: 173,686, (17.368600%)
Total with any scum: 886,776, (88.677600%)
Total with hostile scum: 846,198, (84.619800%)
===============================
Total random samples of 4 items taken: 100
Total with NO scum: 12 (12.000000%)
Total with Mafia: 51 (51.000000%)
Total with Wolf: 53 (53.000000%)
Total with Malefactor: 18, (18.000000%)
Total with any scum: 88, (88.000000%)
Total with hostile scum: 85, (85.000000%)
===============================
Total random samples of 4 items taken: 10
Total with NO scum: 2 (20.000000%)
Total with Mafia: 7 (70.000000%)
Total with Wolf: 3 (30.000000%)
Total with Malefactor: 2, (20.000000%)
Total with any scum: 8, (80.000000%)
Total with hostile scum: 8, (80.000000%)

You gave me 10 and are acting like its 100, I gave 100 and you didn't like it.
You want to go through other games? You do that. this is tictown for now.
looks like democracy is disagreeing with your take keeper.

keep using the discredit tactic btw its cracking me up :lol:

I provided concise things! descriptions of play! quotes from past game! quotes from this game!

what have you provided?

"i play with tictac and i disagree bc meta"
and
"tictac posting style consistent in town games"

see the issue I am having with you here?
See that code block? That bottom block with 10 samples is concise data. That means in any group of 4 people there's 70% chance of mafia, and 30% chance of wolf.
you gave 10, I gave 100. I don't have the effort to 1,000,000.

Deomcracy will do what it does. People will have their reasons and people can choose to believe you. Personally I think that Pentagram and Ceremonial Robes you have tell a different story.

She did that after I town read her, and her VCA aligned exactly with mine, if it hadn't I would have thought it was weird.

Malakittens also scum read Catboi prior to Titus.


I was under the impression she's pushing tictac as a Catboi partner, not a counter wagon.

sorry to bring yer rl into things, but there's an implication here about u not having access to a maf pt 4 pre-game planning that should not be ignored. otherwise game having started probs not a surprise.

i literally look at ff14 and i see these posts and I laugh at Keeper's assertion that this is tictac's town meta when tictac here shows proof of wanting to solve the game despite low amount of posts. the reads are substantiated with reasoning - while compare how tictac treats his "reads" here.
