@Yang - Fuck if I know, though Town doesn't usually ask shit like that. I don't really do D1, so I've been letting Xofelf handle our shit. This morning she sent me a DM saying "for the love of god if you're only going to do one thing this dayphase, get your sexy tree ass into some events". Paraphrasing.

I was a lot grumpier than that <3 I expect more from you, sir. Dooooo things.

[Gamma Emerald]

btw did anything worth trying to sort happen in the Comenames or Russian Roulette games?

[Unapologetically Foxy]

Nothing relevant in Codenames I don't think, but you're missing out if you don't read Pink Ball and John Cena's shittalking. Top tier posting.

Also, I'm leaving the game in Pine's sappy little hands today, because I got LSG stuff to work on. If you need specifically my attention to something, directly bold at me please and I'll get back to y'all tomorrow.

Uhh I guess I should give all reads?
{DA, BHD, Imperium, Mikoto/Kuroko, Despair, Lati@s, Cappy} came off as town. The only one that's pinged me as scum so far is Searchers, I have a lot of nulls

VOTE: Searchers

since dats isn't playing the mafia part i can do whatever i want with this vote now!

pedit: Datisi's still playing the events pretty sure, he just doesn't want to play in this game because he can't keep up with it and he hates larges, we both thought this wasn't going to be a real mafia game and it was going to be mostly events and memes with a bit of mafia on the side too. I agree he was great! He actually told me before the event but I didn't get around to actually doing stuff earlier, oops

Lots of people seem to SR Searchers, I am curious why because they just feel kinda grating but not exactly in a scum way

ok good point not giving reasons is kind of useless lol

My scumread on Searchers is based pretty much entirely on the Ircher head, sorry to the SC head.

I'm scumreading this hydra dissonance. They could just as easily settle it in a hydra pt.

Iirc this post was the original reason I scumread them. For context Smol Night's heads were basically debating each other about whether they should sign their posts ingame, I agree this came off as a bit annoying but it's also very NAI I think since I can't imagine anyone thinking they could get towncred for discussing if they should sign posts in the game thread. Reads, maybe, but not that. To me this comes off as Ircher looking for things that he can attack rather than things that are scum-indicative.

Clogs up the thread; people might write it off etc

I think I already wrote about this but I think this part is scum-indicative as well; I think that the implication that Smol Night is actively trying to clog up the thread is/was weird considering plenty of people had posted more than them at the time. If this was true it'd be a really lackluster attempt and it doesn't feel right that Ircher keeps pushing things like this.

I also dislike Ircher's assertation that "Despair Nights is scum." in 480; feels like it's way more confident than it should be at this stage. I can see how someone would scumread 690 but their push on 729 I don't like either because 729 is just a shitpost and it still feels like Ircher is stretching to justify his DN read even when it's not so much early-game anymore.

It's not necessarily just individual posts that stand out as scummy to me, but it's a more holistic read of your slot. Just the whole general vibe is that you are pushing this aggressive playstyle while not doing much of substance. It feels like you're trying to dissuade interactions and dismiss any that look negatively upon you.

Tbh I don't really see this either. Like, sure DN made a lot of useless posts, but they had a good amount substance too considering that the game had only recently begun at that point. Like, any of these pushes on DN could come from town but when you put them all together plus the early Smolnight push, it just feels like scum trying to fabricate reads and produce content as quickly as possible rather than find scum, if that makes sense.

There's also the fact that I, like, don't really know who else to push on?? Like I've read the game but I'm extremely out of practise and a lot of it felt like, "yeah ok I have no idea what this is", "this feels genuine enough but I'm really not sure about it", etc.

Again with the same question I asked last night and you ignored it. Who called Imperium town?

Despair Night
Blake X Yang
Latias/Latios
Disaster Artists
The Searchers

Since making that initial post:
egospray
Feminist Bloc

This is just CTRL-Fing 'Imperium' in each ISO, I didn't even try 'Nacho' or 'Tammy'.

I feel the number of players town reading Imperium with confidence is disproportionate to their content so far which is pretty null so far imo. Can you explain why you're town reading them?

I see your long post about me, I'll respond to it when I can get away from work for a longer period of time.

~Spiffy

Idk I thought their claim was towny. It makes sense flavour-wise, and while it's possible that, like, Imperium is mafia and they have a strongman which means they can kill whoever they like, it seems like it's unlikely that Ali would design us all these cool roles and then have them all target the same player n1 and n2? It seems more likely that they're telling the truth, why do you think it's a lie?

This will sound awkward since I am not Ircher myself but I can defend him here because I recognize this argument. Feminist Blocc, all of the things you're describing as scummy are his playstyle. I recommend reading another game of his. He takes games very seriously, he digs into little parts of posts to attack, he dislikes thread spam, very confident in his reads (as evident in his early readslist), etc.
Reading up now.

Me and Searchers might be tunneled on egospray; after post 941 i may want to pause and reassess on their slot. To be fair a single post will probably not redeem their iso -for now- and there's no vote update from there after posting the readlist. Why? Also, would egospray pocket me as scum? If anybody knows, please tell me.

Having no experience with either head of the Searchers i might proxy my read to someone i could trust, but so far there are none that could convince me otherwise.

-Farkran

I don't know how you could say we're tunneled on egospray? We're considering them but we're not ignoring others.

tammy didn't like sircakez and I see why
who the f asks their hydra partner permission to move a vote on page 4???

I don't recall the context for this but I agree on it being shady on the surface.

-Latios

I joked about this earlier but I don't understand why this move was "shady".

-snip-
Why the hell are you RQSing now? I'm a fan of it personally but imo you missed the boat HARD.

But sure, I'll bite.
1. A LOT. Been around here for 3+ years discounting breaks, and have also played on several other sites.
2. Generally I try to make myself somewhat towny but I also try to scumhunt because I feel ike I can do well if I try (or sometimes if I realy don't). I tend to get townread for silly reasons or lynched for silly reasons though.
3. I generally try to control the game, make it go the way I want without looking like that's what I'm doing. If I'm having a rather hard time of it though I tend to start turtling.
4.Probably consistency both within the game and regarding meta. I think meta is sometimes overhated.

-Latios

Wtf?

I read that post as a joke post. Why did you think it was serious?
Why did you ask Hectic who is scum out of all players?

Cuz Spiff drops reads like that in a joking manner.
Because Hectic was not giving any scumreads at that point.

Still reading on pg 45
