Like if I already have a scumread on someone then I might consider that, but I think it's super unhealthy for the game to start with that as the main question tbh, I think you should stop
-S
I am still waiting for people to accept that I can draft anyone in this playerlist and the only reason why I wouldn't draft someone is because of reasons that only I would know.
Exactly. Reasons that only Alisae and I would know.
nope
only me

I mean maybe you would know, I did draft you after all

If I didn’t draft you, you wouldn’t know

The fact Ankamius pushes the idea that none of those 4 could be picked is extremely interesting to me.
Does Alisae have access to the Mafia PT and can talk in it?
In that scenario, If I had picked with this player list, I think I would go...
One of Krazy hydra/Ankamius, but exactly one of them.
AaronFrost
Hectic
One of Gobbledygook/RR
I’m too lazy to check if it’s 4 or 5 scum, but I think this is a 21 player?
I'm going to drop the act for one post just to address this.
First, Alisae thinks highly enough of eir own scumgame.
Second, look at the playerlist.
Pine has a strong enough scumgame that he's hard to lock as town.
Maki and Kaito have strong enough scumgames that they're hard to lock as town.
Frozen Angel has a strong scumgame.
Reasonably Rational has two players that have provably strong scum performances in the past as well as not being the easiest to read as town.
Flavor Leaf has a strong scumgame and a reputable enough towngame to justify not being paranoia lynched for it on day one.
Spiffeh had provably strong towngames (former Paragon), but he has played a lot less here lately.
Amrun had strong towngames and scumgames back before she quit the site originally, but has played less lately.
Krazy and PenguinPower have put up above average performances as both alignments.
I'm a slot that has had strong towngames and scumgames recently, and the general read rate of a lot of players on the site in either direction is on the low end.
Most of the other slots either are less difficult to lynch, have strong enough scumgames without the extra reputative clout, or are unknown enough to be wildcards.
It doesn't exactly take a whole lot to disrupt the potential strength of this town and its ability to work together, so I expect Alisae to predominantly look to disrupt potential townblocks from forming as well as disrupting Titus herself. So, I find it most likely that Alisae planned the following:
1. Decided who would be most disruptive when drafted as scum.
2. Decided, through #1 as well as game strategy and PR picks, who to focus on disrupting.
3. Decided, through who #2 does not disrupt, who are priority kills.
And then watch the chaos.

Wow its almost like Anka heard my explanation about who I drafted and why in the scum PT

Actually, you drafting me would mean I specifically wouldn’t know until after I knew.
The fact you didn’t draft me is the reason why I know I know.

I agree with RR and Drixx and that hydra in general as being super strong scum, but I still don’t believe it to be a first pick.
So confirmed that TSE isn’t, which also lines up with where I’m at.
TSE probably being pretty low surface level, but that makes him extremely high, which indirectly lowers him a good amount again, so this is a decent town lean for TSE for me.

HOWEVER!
I could see Alisae trolling the next level past that and going through picking TSE, but play wise, I think TSE is town

I would expect some erratic vote patterns this game, but that's to be tabled day 1.
Do you feel your wagon is town driven or scum driven?
Totally. I outed them in post 0. They don't exist. I decided to has all the powers myself

@FL, You seem to SR Ank. The only slot you have a problem with is OkaPoka. Can I borrow your vote on Ank? I want to get a major wagon going, regardless of its accuracy.
That will take me a while since I'm not at a comp for a while
Chill on the momentum enough that this doesn't go through within the next 24 hours at least please

Yeah that's not going to have my blessing. I am not looking to end the day. I don't have a tentative solve and two slots (FA and Amrun have largely not contributed).

Apparently, Titus thinks she narrowed down my scum pool to 6 people

You can consider my vote that 9th hammer slot, but if I vote, the wagon will end.
