So you have no null reads? I wouldn't want to misrep you...

Outside Goldfish for obvious reasons, no.

If you want me to start EILI5-everything for you going forward just let me know. Would have thought you wouldn’t need that but…eh.

I mean, just a little explaining would be great.

Talk about your top two scum reads and reasons for them?

You make reference to everything being in thread but when asked to explain you're just going to clam up?

OK, nobody is asking you to change the tone of your posts.

Just expand on them a little

Can you explain how Enchant's vote was opportunistic?
Felt like there was semi-substantial pressure on FT from Norwee and froggo
The vote thus felt like trying to predict wagon dynamics and tack on an extra vote
Enchant recently got criticized for a quickhammer so I kinda think scum!Enchant might rubberband into trying to vote very early on what he thinks is a viable lim wagon

What I'm saying is that scum!Bella possibly saw the potential for an Alianna wagon to take off and made the first move to secure their position on the wagon.

It was. Now is not the time to claim scum and die, now is the time to not claim scum and not die.

Season 5: Da finale
  • I thought that Not_Mafia might have been genuinely in the dark about what day it was, until I realized hey wait a minute there are like a million clues as to what day it was, so yeah. I think the fact that their trolling could have also been an intentional attempt to dumbtell makes them feel more iffy to me.
  • re: This is just something that can happen when you run up players whom feel like they're being unfairly called caught scum, and then seemingly not offered any recourse. I should know, I've literally done this before. It's heavily emotional and it feels awful. I don't want to speak on behalf of Ali, but were I forced to take a guess, this is the guess that I would take.
  • I get what Nancy is saying here, but I also know that Andante gunned hard for that wagon with seemingly unshakable conviction. Give people a little slack for thinking that your other head was acting sussy because of their actions.
  • Goldfish coming in hot with a check on Somnus. The first time they posted, which is a little understandable given that the previous day lasted around 24 hours.
  • @Pengy
    you say that Nancy and Friend is town, but could you elaborate on this point, given that their other head was a primary cause for Ali getting axed?
  • Somnus' posts feel better here. I like them.
  • Goldfish feels a little good, but still a middling grey.
  • I agree with my former slot in , Andante had seemingly unshakable conviction that Ali was scum, and was the primary cause of her death. I've already covered this beforehand, and Andante hasn't really resolved this for me. Honestly, I'm not sure if they could. If I were playing since the start of this day, I'd probably want to see Andante run up and explain why they were mistaken. Alas, I replaced in on page 37.
  • Ahh, post 700. Yikes. Let's move on from this.
  • Froggo's prolific ranting is understandable, but my god it's also annoying.
  • [Editor's Note: There was previously a bullet point here listing "Great Frustration" that has since been editied out. Jake The Wolfie has also developed a little scab on his forehead, unrelated to this incident.]
  • More witless banter, this time between Gamma and Enchant. Fun!
  • I find the witless banter between Nancy or Friend and froggo to be fruit and pointless. Why did I have to read this?
  • Honestly, you guys, you're making Not_mafia's posting seem like fun.
  • Wait, didn't Pengy already make a 797 post previously? Hang on..
  • Nope, I misremembered it. It was not them who said it. Carry on.
  • Now 807 seems a little appealing now. I won't advocate for the senseless murdering of them, it's far too late and the replacement will be here any moment, but would I have been here sooner I would be willing to push for a wagon on them.
  • Nancy is faintly healing my trust in their hydra, but I would still like to see more from them.
  • I like Norwee's postings around the end of page 33.
  • I wish to surgically extract answers from Enchant's mind for all of the votes they just throw around like confetti.
  • and posts like it feel like a trap. It feels like, regardless of alignment, whenever this question is posed to me the answer I provide is almost always incriminating, like it suddenly makes me hyper self aware, which I especially hate as town. Like, it makes me feel guilty that I'm even thinking about my own play and how I can appear more towny. I basically get an existential crisis whenever I have to seriously answer this question, because this question inherently runs two conflicting ideas against one another, that being "Town players should never and don't ever think about how they can appear more town-like" and "Please tell me, in explicit detail, why your actions should make you appear town-like." I hate this question, and I almost always will.
    Not that this is actually relevant to what was actually said or anything, sorry if you were expecting something other than emotional turmoil here.
  • Norwee's balls in 876 are so large that they've been stuck in one place for several days now oh god someone help them they might starve
  • Enchant's 877, in turn, provides free mobility and their health and wellbeing are not in question at all. Also, like it's not helpful at all. It feels like Enchant's reply was basically "Just pull urself up by ur bootstraps, mate."
  • The spice between Norwee and Enchant is high, and Norwee came out winning. It feels like Enchant was arguing in bad (or possibly no) faith here.
  • Ahh, we've arrived to my home page, the page where I first landed here and was promptly rejected by you lot. Good memories.
Here is a new, revised readlist based upon reading over 1/2 of the game thus far.
