[ssbm_Kyouko]

that is in his scum meta, but he's also just easier to read with some flips imo, so I agree he's "never lim d1" material

Are there any flips you think would help read him at present?

What town says “another player is an invest” with a claimed cop (or two) in the game? I don’t get why you think Kyo is town here?

I'd forgotten those claims but M&M is probably not a cop or whatever they claimed to be. Big fake vibes there

[ssbm_Kyouko]

I have a potential justification in mind for why ssbm would out a perceived soft.

But I might as well let her explain herself before I feed her an answer.

I did it because it guarantees scum will see it and the potential motivation, if he is town, is to draw the NK off of LLD, or potentially if he really has a role, to be able to play aggressively and WIFOM scum into not shooting him because he's trying to draw a kill. However, if he is scum and makes it deep, this guarantees that someone who lives longer than me will poke at the soft later and not let it go unnoticed.

I revealed A50's Watcher softs in Dwlee's mini that ended recently. I've done it other times as town too I'm sure, and to my knowledge have never outed crumbs as scum.

[Something_Smart]

That's... roughly what I had in mind, which is simply that he wouldn't be softing under not much pressure unless he wanted people to see it.

[ssbm_Kyouko]

if it's not signed, it's him

i'm not sure how to handle you at the moment and i'm not even remote fucking sure how we got here but i get the overall impression that trying to deal with you right now is going to not go well and i don't fucking get it

Correct it won’t. You can push me. It won’t go well. Give it a day or two.

You can push me/It won't go well are PR softs. Asking for a day or two is asking for time for results (or delaying an IC reveal)

SM is almost certainly scum with that iso

THANK you, god damn.

It's pretty hard to sell that myself, but if someone whose brain isn't made of mildew and nematodes sees it too, maybe they'll be able to make the argument more gracefully than I can.

I’d sheep an SM wagon but I think there is a scum in Dunn/Kyo. Kyo’s slot has burned the cred Toog built.

This post implies you believe just one is scum, does it not? And for someone who believed Dunn is scum, you sure made a point to try and say "Kyo is scummier!" for reasons you have yet to present.

ninja-
Cocky grandstanding is my shtick, nice try though!

A scum in, yes. If two scum are in Dunn/Kyo there is one scum in the pairing. I have presented the reasons. Just let them sit so you enjoy a nice,cold scum later. And alas I am not being cocky I am an insect. But I am grandstanding yes, but only a tiny bit. Eventually this will make sense. You’re just behind. It’s okay. Let it go.

Unless you’re willing to derail all of town cohesion for what quite possibly is one of the stupidest pushes this game back off.

One of the stupidest pushes/back off again is softing PR.

The same can be said of most of the playerlist imo. As for why I am not though, I've read through only once since replacing in, then it was the weekend, where I am known to be less active, and on top of that, I'm not feeling motivated to look away from Critter and Wisdom because they're both annoying me right now.

I feel like the game probably makes the most sense if they're both town and scum are lurking, but Critter is kind of sucking my enjoyment out of the game right now.

I tried to join before this filled because I really like Mountain Dew, and thought it would be a fun theme, but it filled before I could /in. Now I'm replaced in and I'm being tunneled for talking about mountain dew. It's demoralizing. I'm probably going to try to ignore critter because he's going to die for softing invest anyways, and if he doesnt die he can give results later.

I think by engaging with Wisdom and Critter I give them things to talk about. If I disengage they can provide content on other slots. If either falls off probably they were just stalling as scum. Will reread in the next couple.days.

Interesting. You think I softed invest lmao lmao

No Townie says that ever hahahahaha

Not an invest anyway but still

Get rekt.

Claiming you're not investigative pretty much narrows it to IC unless the softs were faked as scum to relieve pressure

You also realize 90% of the push on you is Wisdom yeah?
Only reason you were brought up again was my posts were confusing.

I was more than happy to just stay the confusing idiot of the game.
But noooo someone had to go poke at something I didn’t want poked.

Please die for trying to out a supposed invest. Not one but this is a death sentence

You say I've poked at something you didnt want poked, but by softing in the first place you announced to the world you wanted it to be noticed. You were not subtle in any way.

Town never does the bold. Like ever.

I'm doing it now, and I'm doing you a favor because you softed it so it would be seen. Whether the idea was to prevent a push on you because you are investigative, or to draw the kill away from the IC, I don't know, but scum won't know either, and now they'll think twice.

Yeah sure. I softed an investigation role that I am not. And have openly stated I am not.

Can we just elim you? Thanks!

my assumption at this point is that you're a latter-day IC, or scum that panicked a little bit too early. If it's the former, I'd advise any doctor/bg in the setup to holster for later (after LLD and Critter die) if you're gated. Obviously LLD cant be protected, but theres still a possibility of a gated strongman that can bypass your Critter protect. Food for thought.

[Towelie]

this guarantees that someone who lives longer than me will poke at the soft later and not let it go unnoticed.

i mean, it was laid on pretty obviously i'm guessing to most people, and was the main point of contention between notscience and myself (at least as a soft a la stuff like 1062; I didn't get 'investigative' from that) but I don't think it suffices as a reason to push you and i was trying to ask about the latter while trying not to call attention to the former although at this point I think that's moot

A> I have not softed an invest
B> I don’t have a completed game on site here as Critter. Guess I am lock town now because I have never made a scum post as Critter. (This is me disbelieving your “I haven’t done X as scum” argument.)
C> How many times do I have to say this? I don’t want to lead a wagon.

Pedit: Can you like stop already? I won’t confirm or deny any of that shit with PRs out and claimed. What the hell is your goal here?

[Towelie]

Nobody's asking you to confirm or deny anything, but it's an elephant and I don't think not acknowledging is presence at this point is really going to change anything.

[Venus Fly Trap]

What’s mollifying?

Pedit I mean you can try lol. I will find words later. I am more like some sodas in that I need to freeze in the fridge for a bit. I will grow on you.

Fwiw this strongly struck me as a crumb

if it's not signed, it's him

i'm not sure how to handle you at the moment and i'm not even remote fucking sure how we got here but i get the overall impression that trying to deal with you right now is going to not go well and i don't fucking get it

Correct it won’t. You can push me. It won’t go well. Give it a day or two.

And this basically cemented the soft
(There was another similar post that too that i'm having a hard time finding on mobile)

Not entirely sure why he's suddenly dropping these but this is why i was trying to move things off of him last night ^

More later

~ skitter

[Venus Fly Trap]

kinda feel like we're wading through mud and hoping things magically become clear on later days

skitter, what about 997 made you confident (?) critter was town?

-b

Also had u guys figured it out here yet?

[Towelie]

yes, but i wanted to know if you had and was prepared to drop it if so (hence 1052) but 1053 wasn't what i expected

-b

[MUSHSHAGANA]

I don't even know what the hell to think here anymore. This is just... all too much for my short-circuited brain.

There's like 3 people I trust to give me the gamestate straight right now. LLD, Gamma, and VFT. What am I seeing?

[Critter]

Ffs can we please elim Kyo or M&M and call it a day?

[Something_Smart]

Why are you so insistent on that?

[Critter]

Why are you so insistent on that?

If you’re not going to do it at least find a new topic.

[Something_Smart]

What do you mean, new topic?

[Critter]

Like something new to talk about.

[Something_Smart]

No, because I want to know why you want it...?

You're hardly going to convince people to do something by forbidding them from talking about that thing.

[Critter]

No, because I want to know why you want it...?

You're hardly going to convince people to do something by forbidding them from talking about that thing.

I am not. I have said my preference.
Talking about what PR I am or am not is not productive and outright fishing as I won’t confirm or deny any of it.

[Something_Smart]

Oh, I wasn't referring to talking about your role. I wanted to know why you were in a rush to end the day.

[Critter]

Oh, I wasn't referring to talking about your role. I wanted to know why you were in a rush to end the day.

Won’t talk about that either. It’s pretty obvious. I mean we have 2 PRs outstanding here at least if three. This doesn’t include me in that total. If we run someone else up the standard is to have them claim at e-1. I am saying we should end the day to prevent de facto mass claim.

[Critter]

We should elim Kyo or M&M ans call it a day.

[Wisdom]

Why do you offer mm as option

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I'm tempted to Eliminate Critter, actually.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Those last 2 posts are.... dreadful.
