NM not even once did you ever even approach talking about my exercise
would you like to offer some thoughts? I'd probably be fine with the most basic of surface level statements, I just need SOMETHING on that front

What exercise?

I already have a my two picks kinda set in my head and I’d rather people make selections before interactions start to really get going, so to start us off I’m picking Infinity324 and MURDERCAT.

this one

also I'd like everyone else who directly gave selections to tell me what they're thinking of their picks atp
flea most of all I think

@pooky

: why did you initially decide to limit your post count D1?

Gamma Emerald · Post Post #1336 (ISO) » Mon Aug 23, 2021 4:18 am

because as I see it no matter your alignment you stole that shtick from someone else

how would you feel about every player in the game picking Infinity324 and MURDERCAT?

@implo

: was there any actual point to this???

Not_Mafia · Post Post #1338 (ISO) » Mon Aug 23, 2021 4:32 am

He's scum

I'm happy with not-quite-locking Dats as town, honestly.
Dwlee I need to put some time into rereading, but I'm leaning town there still

There's a degree to which this is true, but there's also a degree to which the same thing is true if you replace "claim BoP on Pooky" with "deal with N_M doing jack shit".

That said, I definitely don't like Pooky opening today with a selfvote, it feels really performative. I am open to going that direction but it would make me happy to just have N_M dead since I think there's a very solid chance he just flips scum and I really can't imagine leaving him alive this game with him doing literally one thing and that thing being actively bad.

yeah, I get this and I agree with you that N_M is a better lim than Pooky, I think I'm mostly wanting to push on people who don't seem especially invested one way or the other

Enchant 1317 is weird but feels a little too brazen to be scum I think

overall I think I'm like here

S - {gamma, implosion, infinity}
A - {northsidegal}
B - {dwlee, enchant, pooky}
C - {flea, goats}
D - {not_mafia}

I'm most sure of the S tier being town, NSG is close to that but I'm not like 100% over the paranoia so she's in a largely-seems-good tier of her own. I think there must be a scum in my B tier but I have decent-ish reasons to townread each of them and I think those reasons are generally better than I have for the players below. Flea I do think has been genuine but I can't really ignore the fact that I have no idea where faer head is at with any reads/engagement with the game, goats hasn't done a lot townie outside of the hydra dissonance and I hate that the first head has seemingly disappeared altogether.

N_M is probably just scum I haven't seen him play this single-mindedly in a long time, I don't buy his implosion scumread at all.

@Gamma - so yeah I still have you as locktown but N_M I think is just scum who got me with a good early game

p-edit: hmmm I just saw DGB do a similar "didn't realize the NK" townslip as town, I could maybe buy that one

Gamma Emerald · Post Post #1344 (ISO) » Mon Aug 23, 2021 4:49 am

atp I think I have everyone's response to the initial exercise properly notarized and I have reads on each of the players based on them pretty much (there's like 2-3 slots I dunno if I can pull anything AI from)

Gamma Emerald · Post Post #1348 (ISO) » Mon Aug 23, 2021 4:52 am

okay
am I wrong about you taking it from nacho or whoever did it in TENET tho?

GuiltyLion · Post Post #1349 (ISO) » Mon Aug 23, 2021 4:52 am

@NM - he feels pretty town to me, I even specifically reached out to you with a point where I thought he wasn't pushing me as scum would and you ignored it. I've mindmelded a few times with his posts and I don't believe that you haven't seen anything there that wouldn't make you question or reevaluate

he's also a really convenient slot to tunnel as he's not under a lot of pressure and so you've been leaning on your read there to ignore sorting or engaging with most of the other players in the game
