Unironically are you pocketing me?
No. I'm too tired to pocket. I'd be chilling back but no one's organizing anything but a popularity contest.

This isn’t a pitch fork thing Titus.
I always say I’m going to kill the lurkers for pressure and often times I mean it.
But I’ll still go for other stuff. I’m neutral on MB with a slight suspicion underneath.
But that’s my default.

The toad was inactive the entire time I am here.

Can you explain?

They aren’t going to elaborate.
I plan to push them very hard if they don’t actually have a role that’s confirmable in the next 2-3 day phases.

Admittedly Luke is being weird and illogical on some things but that screams more paranoia than scum

I waffle on that though. Do you have reasoning?

~GE

btw I scoured Math's ISO to see if he had a read on us, and I didn't see one but I do kinda feel like he's leaning town for me after it. So that's one slots I've already managed to look over.
I would rather catch up first. Yeah I know non answer. I will always take opinions on Titus because reading her is hard. I mainly am trying to investigate and figure out the bastard part of the game because I work better with facts and being Day One there aren’t any.

I have a theory that I think might work but probably no one will like but I was hoping C&G would comment first before sharing.

Also, people are really a lot more aware of their reads status than I am, generally? That's you, Luke and bbt that's bought it up.
Shit was I coming across as condescending? Sorry that wasn't my intent at all! :( :(

I'm very aware of the reads that came from pooky's collection and I think the heavy town reads absolutely need to be the focus of scum here. Any possible slip up of heavy town reads should be immediately pounced on by scum if town doesn't do it for them. Not saying it necessarily makes players who pounce scum, but it needs to happen one way or the other. So I'm definitely interested in focusing on people who may opportunistically jump at me for my DP read and the fact that you could but didn't screams townie to me.
?? Has Pooky delivered a recent sheet? And why would scum instantly focus on the townreads? This seems like weird coaching. I don’t like this interaction. It seems more strategery versus what is.

In post 3139, BlueBloodedToffee wrote:Rad, are you suggesting widely town read people should be able to do whatever they want without being questioned otherwise it's scum trying to undermine town reads?

Because it sounds like that's what you're saying.
No, I'm saying that any town slot that's being widely read as town is horrendously dangerous to scum and they need to be taken down a slot. Maybe town accomplishes that for them, or maybe scum has to push it. But it has to happen.

Do you disagree?
I disagree with this. Just because someone is read as town doesn’t make them dangerous. They have to be dangerous and correct. Town miselimming town and then being miselimmed is way more dangerous than a universally townread player who has correct reads. I again don’t like this abstract ness. What’s going on in this game?

Pooky is still a really hard tr for me. Like him moving me from yellow to green but not actually saying anything about it. Why does scum!Pooky squander an opportune chance at hard pocketing me?
I don’t follow. Wouldn’t yellow to green without interaction be a pocket?

What seriously? What are you even basing this on?
I’m basing it off of the first 4 pages. What a silly question.
:roll:

I’m obviously asking for a more specific answer.
I think the way flavor was approached by multiple other slots (Bell, BBT for example) Felt organic. The way Luke approached it felt more like a tool, ergo not organic. It might be overzealousness of knowing the flavor and wanting to talk about it but if that’s the case my read probably falls off further into the thread.

If I had to strip everything away I’d say it’s like, other slots were engaging in a conversation that Luke felt they needed to be inserted into.

Even at the time they are getting townreada for it so idk maybe I’m crazy.
donu think luke is scum?
I think he had a scummy opening and got chain townread for it. Which is weird.

I’m not calling anyone here a sheep but I’m no Welshman.
I really hope you’d expand more. I haven’t hard time to read the beginning of the game yet but rapid fire constant reads do match my VCA.

With 5/26 slots scum it seems more likely than usual that scum don't come under much pressure D1 and the conflict is mostly TvT. I think with social loafing etc. most scum are likely chillin. That's why I think Roden+Dwlee+Taly.

I think it's reasonable to expect 1 or 2 scum are more in the heat of things, but I'm not really sure how much I can add to that discussion.
I'm sorry, there's more to it than the activity levels.

None of the players I think are Town are willing to defend those three slots either (so far.)

So I think Roden+Dwlee+Taly due to PoE as well as activity.

So another words, they question each other and you THINK they are town from talking with each other.

Alright well again that’s not really an elaboration, like is there a back to back post specific thing you felt came more likely from 2 towns going at it rather then TvM or MvM.
