The game state leads no where when we follow Ceph IMO. We were in a better place when Ceph had several votes and was chastising us for wagoning him before he had a chance to play.

@roden, I think frog is a bit....pinball, but I do think they believe what they are saying.
I just don't think anyone can actually have a PoE 48 hours into a 26 player game. There's an argument to be made that it's too absurd to come from scum, sure, but I don't think it's a believable thought process.

I don't think Frog/Ceph is ever S/S. A red scum flip from Ceph heavily implies that he was trying to prod Frog into tunneling me with his earlier comment.

I guess I understood the Poe more when they said about finding 1/3 scum. I am maybe interpreted it more like 'they aren't town right now so..'

I relied on klick for my ceph read but am kinda fine with it..

P-edit yes, agree.

Dude..look at my iso..I have 133 posts. I've been playing this game like full time for the last 48 hours.

I don't think YOU could have a PoE in the last 48 hours because you've not had the opportunity to make one.

this is a real case of the metas but the fact roden hasn't done anything scummy yet is scummy
You were literally scum who said this about town!me in the last large theme we did lol

But also it's in your scum meta to snipe at people like this until they get tilted while you encourage people who trust you into following their tunnels
uhhhh my recollection is that i spent that game tunnelling you because i thought your behavior was scummy and i could mislim you for it. are we talking about the same game

I saw the 1/3 and it didn't connect that Frog meant one third of the scum team, I thought he meant one out of the three was definitely scum.

And fair point that maybe it's just me that couldn't have a PoE atm. Though I don't think I could have a Day 1 PoE at any point tbh.

IMO that's what happened there. I believe we are both Town and Ceph is not. I also believe the Frog/BBT wagons are taking the heat away from the earlier Ceph wagon and I want to fix that now.

ah, here's the roden i know, now we're twisting words proper like. i don't think rallying votes is the same thing as deliberate provocation but this isn't really important to this game

And you also did the exact same thing in SCP, we were both scum there and you even talked about it as a strat in the scum chat.

Alright, it's finally the weekend and I'll be able to read this game properly.

Did not expect 61 pages though in the first few days...
