I'm interested in real timing with you in particular so I'm delighted rn.

only thing that gives me slight pause is the vote onto VP but distancing?
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Dig more into my wall and you'll also notice i said basically nothing about vpb because honestly he didn't make that much of an impression on me.

Which looks like garbage now that the flip has happened but I'm not gunna go add a bunch of stuff ex post facto.

I like this answer.

I found your slot extremely hard to sort because i don't remember what you're like despite having i think modded you a couple times.

I kept feeling like you weren't doing very much. Let me into your head.

What does "a read not based in reality" actually mean
It means it seems like you made it up and now you are covering poo with ~vibes~
This feels like a wildly out-of-nowhere take?? Like even if you think Ausuka's wrong I'm not sure why it's so unbelievable that her wrong read would be based on vibes

well for one, she can still explain it. for two, i think scum-her is capable of faking that read. so i don't think it's too alignment-indicative either way.
Why bring it up if it's NAI?

Datisi feels like a lightning rod choice bound to pull in a lot of attention, alternatively VPB might be an interesting wagon as someone sitting closer to most people's null piles. So uh yeah, could go either way lol
This back and forth progression on VPB feels more likely to be real and not a projected trajectory

hmmm

usually I don't see scum fake reversals like to

however the fact that VPB flipped maf weakens that somewhat as it could be a thing specifically to pretend to be uninformed

I genuinely don't know if I feel strongly about this being T-S or S-S, would love to hear others opinions

im deranged. also there isnt a whole lot right now because it was goop at the end of day 1 and now im kind of waiting for everyone to check in

i dont think the wagons mean too much or like. you cant really read them well on the basis of vp balter's it doesn't say a lot

ari's reads probably good to die

I mean, doubt VP was the lone scum on that wagon.

um ausuka voting datisi for that post is why i called ausuka town

the vote was not naked it was directly in response to datisi's post and quoted it

she did not explain the reasoning behind it but she didn't need to bc i understood what she was thinking anyway (or at least i thought i did, and her later explanation confirmed that)

Possible i missed that context. I'll go back and reread it later tonight and decide if i was being unfair.

the ari kill is WIFOM. Her reads aren't perfect obv and they weren't that far off from mine though my scum reads were mostly in her null pile.

don't rly care what you think about the usefulness of self meta, i like sharing my thoughts. you are welcome to ignore them if you want

calling it borderline trust telling is ridiculous. nowhere did i say that my town and scum games are wildly divergent and that one should be instantly recognizable. i was just trying to explain my motivations/mindset in this specific game bc it was relevant to the post i was responding to

my goal as scum is not to precisely imitate my townplay. it's to get townread and to kill town. those are accomplished in very different ways so your point here is irrelevant

My solve coming into today was elephant (replacement), Baltar, firebringer (replacement), and dannflor. I expected this list of 4 to contain at least 2 scum.

I see no reason now to second guess my analysis, and I suggest there is at least 1 scum in elephant (replacement), firebringer (replacement) and dannflor.

@thestatusquo I am a new player. I'm not asking to be seen as townie for it as I do have experience with social deduction games but I would prefer if you respect the fact that I am new regardless because... what you're saying is coming across as quite offensive when I'm only trying to figure things out. Maybe I seem dumb but subbing into a game for the first time in so many pages as my first game ever isn't exactly easy.

More thoughts tomorrow.
