Red is still the scummiest. I might be wrong on purple. What do people make of Star wanting to be left out?
i dont think purity of pairings is even essential given the lack of loverization and may just lead to obvtown pairs getting offed
i may be happiest pairing with a null read who i can try to sort in private
thats my last thought for the night

Okay. I poked at Green for starting the game trying to discuss mechanics.
They responded decently but not enough for me to feel much.
Circle's back and forth with me, makes me feel like we're relatively on the same page.
Though, I guess his ability to interpret me might in fact be TMI. But I haven't really seen it utilized this way before.
Purple's take on Star is dislodged, but there's a natural feeling when you get a certain level of experience that we have to counteract our own biases about a player's weirdness, so I can see how circle reached the conclusion that they might be too weird to be scum.

What do posting patterns have to do with alignment? Especially in an anonymous game, with anonymous time zones?

Also preferably of town alignment because I don't need to be pocketed in a PT that would not be fun.

Picking out midnight posting is very strange to me; we don't know anyone's schedules or timezones, so how would we even judge something like that? Why would it matter even if we could?

This feels a bit fishy.
OK. I apologise for my terrible entrance.
PAIR: Star
because he is my top town read. Also, I agree with everything that he has said so far. Who could possibly do a better job?
Uh...no thanks. I town lean you but I'm standing by the plan for now.
Since being unpaired doesn't mean automatic death in this game, I can volunteer to be the lone shape. In this scenario, I'll just keep the Delay holstered so it won't be an issue going forward. I'd prefer to be paired of course, but I think this is the easiest way to deal with this situation and make it a non-issue.
And this one as well, perhaps a bit more. Star, why make this sort of post to volunteer if you're going to undercut it immediately with a preference? It comes across a bit LAMIST-y to me.
In post 25, Diamond Shape wrote:I like the ability to strip mafia of a power; it's annoying to give them a roleblocker but at least we know what it is, where it might go, and if it's given to town we can leash it hopefully.
This reads as TMI. How do you know scum has a Roleblocker?
...whatever Power is left out receives a delayed roleblocker in lieu of their actual power. Thus, we know what power one person has.
In post 1, penguin_alien wrote:Game-specific rules and information:
* One Power will be left unpaired at the beginning of Phase Two. This player's Power will be converted into a limited one-time use of a Delayer Implementation. They will choose a Pair before the end of Phase Two whose Power implementation will be Delayed upon submission by one Night for the rest of the game (actions submitted on Night X will resolve on Night X+1 but will still be potentially impacted only by actions made by others on Night X). This will be done via private communication with the mod. If they are eliminated Day One or choose not to use their Power, no Pair will be Delayed.
Roleblocker isn't quite what the role is, but it's delaying someone temporarily from using role.
These seem like town posts.

. But if you change your mind, I'll be waiting.

I like this thinking but the obvious problem is how do we know? Perhaps scum will try to look townie to be left unpaired to get delayer?

I don't think that's how a delayer works.
I also think it'd be more informative & exciting for us to eliminate the unpaired player.
I do like the way you think about this and think it's more likely to come from town.
If pairs aren’t loverized I think that’s only a good idea if the unpaired slot is the scummiest. If not, that could be suboptimal.

The solution here is to either treat a Delay as a scum claim from the Delayer, or just vote out the Delayer. That's why I volunteered, because if I ultimately end up getting scum read then you can just vote me out, and if I'm town read but a Delay happens then you would know I'm scum.
Best case scenario however is that today we find at least one scum that is a Shape, make them go solo, and then vote them out to get rid of scum and the Delayer at the same time.

I’m onboard with that, unfortunately the slot I currently feel the worst about is a color. I should probably review diamond or heart again.

So I know it isn’t me and unless I’m wrongly reading circle and arrow and it isn’t star, then it would have to be between heart and diamond, assuming only one scum in shapes?
But with one extra power, it would seem likely at least one.
I really don’t have a read on either but based soloey by PoE, scum is probably likely in at least one. Red looks the worst from the colors with my liking yellow, orange, blue and maybe purple?
Have no idea on green yet but slots that haven’t impressed me yet are: red, heart, green, diamond.

I'll put a table of observations so you can get into my perspective.
Is highest townread for me. Entrance in 20 feels reasonable. Reaction in 21 feels genuine and Town. 110 feels like Town and almost reminiscient of somebody who I admire.
