Since I’m not long for this world I may as well leave this as a parting gift.
I think this serves as an express declaration that yes, I have turned my thoughts around on the Gypyx slot somewhat. I also had pings early from Ydrasse but expressly turned that around at a markedly earlier point.
Also, I may not have shown it much in my posting but I was genuinely lost for a time, it just seemed vastly unproductive to make a comment about it rather than working to fix the underlying issues. I am certain I’d have people barking about how I’ve been making a scene about my lack of direction and I’m scum for it if I’d actually been more clear about how lost I’d been when I was struggling with that. So excuse me if I find your viewpoint rather uncharitable.

I've asserted that was what helped me not flounder in that game
why is it valid for ulyana and not for me?
because ulyana did not out some very not-good takes
that's exactly the problem
she has barely any actual takes this game at all

VOTE: ulyana
I feel like she's dispassionate and disconnected from the game in a way that she wasn't in radio buzz as rousseau, but somewhat reminds me of what I remember tracy flick being like in student council
Without looking at meta I disagree with this read
then you're probably evil too because I think what I'm seeing should be plainly obvious if you even glance at ulyana's ISO or just pay attention to what she says as you read up
and this is a different brand of obviousness than what I was throwing around before, that's was like a bright flame to me, this is like a strong current of a river
Probably evil
seems strong for someone simply disagreeing with a read of yours. Are any of Infinity, skitter, of Ydrasse probably evil for disagreeing?
no, those are just about locked in, and I don't like you trying to steer suspicion towards the reads I feel the best about rn
tbh it sucks that the people I trust most seem to be the ones that want me dead the most, because the only hope I have is they have mercy in their hearts and don't forsake me
Are you playing dumb? It should be clear that I'm not steering suspicion towards those 3, and am instead questioning your own thoughts?
It seemed to me that Gamma was saying that those 3 were townreads before he got to the dunnstral read, which answers your question.

I'm not sure if these are connected, but they jumped out at me. Developing thoughts.

The main reason I haven’t hammered yet is because it feels like doing so is essentially forsaking the trust of everyone who has faith in me, especially my dear friend Infinity.

i think until/unless we have good reason to believe the chair is anything but a flip, we should just treat it as such.
gamma's tilt itself i don't really find scummy and can see coming from either alignment from him. but i don't like that his thought process doesn't really seem to match his actions, there were a few different instance of him calling people scummy but choosing someone else to vote (like choosing to vote pooky over pooky's solve that he agreed with, etc). also he was a shining beacon of towniness in radio buzz and i'm kinda wondering where that's gone and what's different here.
i also find infinity and dwlee suspicious. infinity feels weirdly stilted and kinda floating on the edge of things in a way that's reminiscent of her scumgame, and i think that if gamma is scum infinity is a viable partner.
dwlee is leaning too hard on the 'i have no idea what's going on here' bit.
(also ydra feels kinda off but i'd feel a little bad poking there too much atm so uh just gonna wait and see if her wim comes back soon-ish as it isn't a Critical part of the game just yet).
ulyana it's always so Exciting to find another incarnation of shiki in a game
i think ur thought process r.e. what the chair is and prism is v townie for you
pooky is maybe town?
i don't really have thoughts on anybody else yet

and infinity, ig i'm used to town-you strongly pushing back when i call u scum (esp. if you think i ought to be townreading you), but here you're just kinda accepting the read and not really having any sort of reaction
the other thing is that i don't think i've been super towny this game. i don't think i'm trying to look town but that's a hard thing to identify in other players
you feel kinda scummy to me tbh
This seems to be a Mexican standoff kind of thing, except skitter's right, Infinity isn't pushing back but defending herself. There's an accusation of a Dwlee/Infinity team and of a Skitter/Infinity team. But it's lacking an accusation of a Dwlee/Skitter team. Infinity didn't go there.

like the fact that she's 'just kinda there' is what i'm finding scummy here.
You've got Infinity, Peta and me in the 'just kinda there' category. I don't disagree that I've been pretty inactive, but other than pushback from Infinity, what do you expect from Peta and from me?

I missed this, and reading back skitter never explicity stated that they were a team; I just inferred that.

Bonus if you can guess where the word acquitted originated in my mind
it wasn't the not responding to pooky as much as not having a similar thought yourself as it seems more likely, and would potentially lead to you actually wanting to be chosen,
like how did you decide that you being acquitted might be more likely than you simply being eliminated?
i assumed acquitted came from 'trial'
If it's a trial, maybe an acquittal reaps benefits for the team the defendant is a member of.

This post was the main thing that made me read Cephrir’s push on me as overdone
There was valid points in the thing infinity brought up but the only takeaway Cephrir cared about was the one that made me look worse.
There’s probably other posts I can point to that weakly support this feeling but idc to hunt them down when I know the kicker is right here.

It's like it snowballed, and this got Gamma more worked up. I don't see how Gamma voting skitter as a reaction to Pooky's joke is Gamma taking it seriously.

I feel like I'm doing a lot of Gamma defending, but his wagon being the initial wagon and not having any competition 3 days into the game seems off. If Gamma's scum, his buddies aren't doing their job.

Unless the Chair is a wanna-have item, but the consensus seems to believe it isn't.

This makes me think the Chair affects the entire scum team. Or the Chair is going to make other appearances. Surely the Chair wouldn't be the only way to "deal with them." Especially since it's an iron chair with restraints, I'm convinced we need scum in it.

really because you've called me scum pretty much every time i rolled scum against you even if half of them were meme games. or is it that you have trouble figuring out when i'm town

i think taly is town, i think gypyx slot is probably town, i think you're probably town in spite of your protest at me giving that read, i think pooky is
probably
based on him coming out strong and doing the thing where he tries to poke at people he knows with a scumread to see if they flinch
i don't have a feel for a lot of people in this game but it's also been 3 days real time and i'm not really pressed to have strong reads so far. i could probably look at people and force an opinion on them if i had to but i don't feel the urgency to do so
thanks.
ig i kinda just feel like you're kinda sitting and observing everything without really doing anything, if that makes sense? like you're just watchign the game, but not really part of it
that doesn't like make you scum or anything necessarily but it's making it kinda hard to read u and i'm kinda wondering why you're not doing much
that's...pretty much accurate, i suppose
it's a mix of things
i don't think this is a player list where i'm likely to have strong scumreads early and i feel that jumping in with reckless aggression is more likely to be unhelpful and lead to confusing my reads anyway
in the very early game i kind of prefer to hang back until something catches my attention anyway
this game is more or less my re-entry to plying mafia after some time off, where i couldn't muster any enthusiasm whatsoever. i had no desire to read anyone, the mystery of a game had no intrigue for me. now i'm back, i'm in that mindset and i'm eager to play, but i'm not in a place where i feel like i can act with confidence yet.
i am entirely serious when i say stuff about how i plan on being obvious town this game, it's just that it's not yet that time
