Mini Normal 1982: anagrams (endgame) (egad, men!)

[Chumba]

Sup bitches

Sup.

Have you caught up yet?

[Tchill13]

I'd dunk town fykus and tacos scum.

Yes I have trouble reading tacos but he is playing different even for tacos

[Dunkerdoodles]

Twonbinning Lycan for now.

His critique on me is justified too.
BUT.
My current problem is not with me not having any Scumlean, it's that I have too many of them.

Dunkerdoodles felt like town early, but has gone south with his latest posts.
Chill feels like he is playing a scum game, but I don't feel like my vote would do much good there.
Chumba I'm 50/50 on.
Tacos being inactive might be NAI (?), I don't know the dude, but is a good lynch-candidate.

all of these reads are "this person can be town or scum"

[Dunkerdoodles]

Activity dropping is the only reason I'm still here. I'm still thankful that I've had one out of the last twelve workdays off.

Lycan do you think scum are sitting back and letting town lead town to a mislynch?

I did some thinking on this and tried to nail down the two "least active" teams and threw them out because no, I would not expect scum to give up a good position. They're afforded the ability to open wolf and make concerted reads- which I would throw out if I were to squish Fykus/Havo or Fykus/Eth0s together. I suppose the most notable evidence in the latter is that Eth0s chose to null read Fykus and Unabomba without naming either, while simultaneously scumreading the blank slot.

Even more pointless is that despite being among the lesser contributors Eth0s, Havo and Fykus have all made votes today. I was wondering who has not, and that person is Unabomba. But wait, there's more. Taco has a whopping 5 posts today, compared to 24 in a shorter time frame yesterday.

Subverting my point again I think the prospect of low-laying scum being less likely by the virtue of my read on Dunker being pretty solid, and

Dunker is about as subtle as a child with access to cookware.

Basically-

Team is Dunker/Fykus/Taco

Dunker is doing everything in his power to make all lynches lead to something the scumteam can salvage

Unabomba has to make a vote

Taco is probably getting vigged

Eth0s' reads are way too easy, needs to show some work

I feel like profii is more town lately, esp. with how I managed to bully him onto Havo. At the very least he's shown the willingness to follow through onto Havo, even though I was mainly trying to push him into a more productive position, not necessarily have him commit to Havo. His effort in general and willingness to explain his read on the game state is town, but he let himself get easily sidetracked with their grand theory (I have a pretty clear Porkens read on him.) I was mainly prodding him over and over again for making a sucky day 1 post, and I don't regret it.

i don't understand those 2 things
i'm not trying to be inactive, i was super active earlier there's just been nothing to comment on recently.

[Dunkerdoodles]

I'd dunk town fykus and tacos scum.

Yes I have trouble reading tacos but he is playing different even for tacos

tacos and fykus need to be more active really

[Dunkerdoodles]

i think it's either tchill/chumba/someone or fykus/tacos/someone
profii and lycan are near lock town for me

[eth0s]

there's just been nothing to comment on recently.

Pretty much this... I'm not really much of a scumhunter yet so I'm kinda looking for direction and not really finding it. I'm okay with lynching any of the above people but I want to see some good reasoning/defense before I move my vote that I had intended to park on the somewhat-scummy profii.

It kind of sounds like the town wants me to take action though, so I guess my move would be to wagon profii. If tacos isn't going to defend himself then I will gladly move to that wagon, should the town decide to go down that path. I could also potentially get down with a Fykus lynch. Let's see some thought-provoking discussion from some of the more experienced players, please.

put a vote down and throw out some thoughts
also
the last line seems scummy to me like you're using a newbie card, except you actually made some really good posts earlier so

[Tchill13]

i think it's either tchill/chumba/someone or fykus/tacos/someone
profii and lycan are near lock town for me

i agree that lycan is lock town but why profii?

[Dunkerdoodles]

i really haven't seen anything scummy from him and his tone is towny to me

i guess you could try and sell me on him but he's near the top of my townreads rn

[profii]

I’d like to see tchill try and sell anyone on anyone

[Tchill13]

Yeah says the guy that doesn't scum hunt. I haven't decided what Avenue I'm confident going down obviously. Just chill a bit buddy.

[profii]

I’ve put in enough to this game to be able to criticise your contribution. If my playstyle doesn’t follow the MafiaScum manual, I apolgise for not being pet of the hive mind but perhaps try and use that to your advantage

[Tchill13]

oh you're an elitist and you think differently because you are on a superior level. my little brain can't comprehend the ways you're seeing this game right now please know i'll be 5 steps behind you this whole game i do hope the weight of my ignorance doesn't bear down on you too terribly.

[profii]

Haha more deflection, because you haven’t made any contributions to this game you can’t simply go and point them out so instead you have to cast shade on everything else that’s going on.

My next step is to look at everyone on the Morality vote again - obviously Havo said he was just going to lynch. You have said you are just moving the day on. 2 easy ways of lynching whoever you like tbh

I know I linked to a post I found scummy when I voted and I know Una was still RVS - I’ll be checking the others but if they all found scummy reasons to vote, I’d say you or havo (or maybe even both) are our scum on the Morality wagon

About to go out so that’ll buy you some time to work out what that’s called because I don’t scum hunt

[profii]

The remaining 2 were Lyc and Chumba
Lyc was still pretty early and before any real reasons had surfaced.
Chumba, interestingly jumped on after the Morality self vote and claimed town don’t self vote. Obviously wrong. Boom claimed by self voting he would catch a scum jumping on, maybe. The reads might be questionable but voting for the person who follows a elf vote isn’t a read...

I’m getting ok reads from Chumba so although I’m wary of the above I’m more inclined to lynch Tchill or Havo today as it stands

[Not_Mafia]

Based on this page I townread Dunkerdoodles

[UnaBombaH]

I townread Dunk heavily before, but I'm worried I'm stuck in a tunnel.
Usually the only way I can break out of one or confirm my reads is by doing a full 0-100 reread, but I just don't have the time or energy right now.

I get that my previous post was VERY fence-sitty, but that is because I am now very much 50/50 about multiple slots.
I have past experience with Dunk and Chill, and neither of them has townbinned themselves to me as of now - Dunk was getting there, but I think he "slipped" few pages ago. I'm now wondering whether he was just keeping his act together (very well if scum btw) until that point.
Similarly, I thought Chill was scum based on his D1 and his entrance to D2. (I got similar vibes that I got from Normal 1969, where he was scum)
But while Dunkers posting has gone to the scummier direction IMO, Chill has somewhat managed to town it up a notch..

I feel like sorting these two will help me a lot moving forward - having them both be town and us three finding a way to communicate it across to each other would be a very good way for us to turn this around.

[Tchill13]

I do find it interesting how people are staying they scum read myself and Tacos, though, yet everyone seemingly votes me.

this is a good point. doing a re-read and i'm leaning tacos/fykus scum at this point in it.

Nero town for now.

[Tchill13]

I literally made like two actual posts prior to this page, so anyone pushing that as scum is scummy as hell and really stretching. I don’t like early games.

@Unah - you made a comment that i don’t think any of them will understand due to everyone e else but you is unaware, I believe. I don’t care if it’s aware, but yeah. Nobody is, I believe.

everyone will naturally stretch on day 1, it's not scummy

instead of profii commenting on the lack of tacos votes profii moves to discredit morality here.

can you tell me why tchill is townier than me?
i feel like chilly has kinda slowed down a bit and been very passive. not saying it's super scummy but i feel like he was being unnecessarily defensive especially in that last exchange with profii

nero's dead

[Dunkerdoodles]

also boon later said tacos is town so wouldn't that contradict that statement?

[Tchill13]

I mean, I was obvious town.

Clearly.

If you are town, you let people hard take advantage of you. Haha.

My meta shows that I wasn’t hard town right now, so take advantage of that.

I generally win games I die in early, so this is fine.

i can't exactly remember how much chumba and boon have played together. I think they've played enough for boon to know chumba is pretty deadset on stupid town gambits being too hurtful so this really should have been no surprise to boon.

[Tchill13]

oh my goodness i give more reads on dead players than anyone on site lmao. sorry.

dunk where is the contradiction? not sure what you are pointing out.
