Micro 199 Nonsensical Narnia Day 4

[Amethyst Snowflake]

I really like this post. It's a little unsettling having you in my town pile at all, much less on page 4.

It's been a while since I played with solo fery but I can't remember if she was usually generous or salty at giving out townread early.

Um this was supposed to be a PM to my other head >.>

[fferyllt]

Shouldn't take much of a meta dive to ascertain that.

[BROseidon]

It's relevant because it makes my point against kdub less valid, although I'm still okay with parking my vote there until I see something better.

Also, I thought the same thing about that letters post, although I'm also not ffery and I've gotten to be generous with townreads early.

In b4 Ms M calls me scum b/c I wasn't like this in my newbie game.

[Kdub]

gm answered it for me. It's a common spot for scum to jump on the wagon, and it's early. Everyone needs to eat some pressure right now.

Except the person I am voting for is also someone you identified as a scum read. It makes no sense to think a certain position on a wagon is scummy unless it is known to be a mislynch.

[BROseidon]

Because who I'm voting for midway through day 1 is going to be who I'll want to lynch, and applying pressure to calibrate reads is not a thing.

Right, got it.

Wait...

[goodmorning]

And I'm asking you why you're asking VCA questions like you actually think the answer will be convincing or meaningful at a time like this ffffffff

That's not why I am asking the question.

Care to enlighten me?

It's relevant because it makes my point against kdub less valid, although I'm still okay with parking my vote there until I see something better.

Why do you think the hop is a point against your VCA thing?

[fferyllt]

Care to enlighten me?

I don't recall you getting right in the fucking middle of another player's line of questioning while it's in progress in our earlier games.

[Amethyst Snowflake]

So let me get this straight.

>BRO scumreads both GM and kdub
>BRO votes kdub for being third on GM wagon
>After being called out on it, he say that the same thing weakens his point on kdub (basically says that his reasoning sucked)
>Now he says that he did it to pressure him(kdub)

Assuming that I understood correctly,

lolno.

VOTE: BRO

VOTE: BRO

This is what I was trying to tease out.

I may just be monumentally irritated, but I find GM's stomping around in the middle of that and dropping potential answers to my questions to be at least as scummy as BRO's apparent pretzel logic.

[goodmorning]

I don't think I've ever seen you so irritated.

Interesting.

[Amethyst Snowflake]

Ugh...

unsure how to take my other heads vote as I'm kinda town-reading Bro a bit...

I don't particularly find anything wrong with voting someone because they are third on a wagon, even if the person who is being wagoned is another scum read.

Ffery being laid back like this is seriously bothering me though

[fferyllt]

Then you have blanked out massive chunks of day 1 of the Hyrule game.

[fferyllt]

You and GM can maybe sort out whether I'm laid back or irritable and let me know.

[BROseidon]

VOTE: BRO

This is actually a fairly subtle misrep.

Points 2 and 3 are not mutually exclusive. I found something scummy, so I vote to apply pressure there.

Was that misrep intentional or do you not see the lack of mutual exclusivity?

[fferyllt]

So you would say:

>BRO scumreads both GM and kdub
>BRO votes kdub for being third on GM wagon
>After being called out he says that the hop off/hop on the GM wagon (which puts him in position 3 instead of 1 or 2 or whatever it was) seriously weakens the "3rd on wagon" tell
>Now he says that he did it to pressure him(kdub)

Better?

[BROseidon]

You are still implying mutual exclusivity.

It should be something more like:

>BRO (slight) scumreads both GM and kdub
>BRO votes kdub over GM for being third on GM wagon
>After being called out he says that the hop off/hop on the GM wagon (which puts him in position 3 instead of 1 or 2 or whatever it was) seriously weakens the "3rd on wagon" tell
>Still wants to apply pressure on kdub and doesn't see a better place to put vote (GM already has wagon pressure, remember).

Subtracting out the 3rd on wagon stuff, what's the basis for your slight scumread on kdub?

[BROseidon]

Not lynching from ffery/letters/bork today, I don't think.

I agree that PLing MC today is bad, since today is the only day we are guaranteed to have all the townies alive. Obviously dies once there are 5 or 6 people left.

That leaves AS/gm/kdub/aa9. I usually like day 1 miller claims but in a game this small and with this much anti-town claimed I'm a lot less sure. Still, nothing is too much of a red flag there left.

AA9 still needs to catch up, which I think is null. GM and kdub have both been pinging a little bit off, and kdub is third on GM's wagon, so...

VOTE: kdub

This was my original reasoning. The "pinging" is a gut feeling (which is obviously conducive to wanting to pressure so I can work that out better), rest of the thought process is PoE.

I think I've gotten a decent amount out of this vote at this point, though. Gonna need some time to parse the information I've gotten from you/SA/GM/kdub and see what my next move is, although I'm a bit disappointed that I got more out of you/SA than I did from kdub and GM.

[fferyllt]

So the pinging doesn't tie back to anything specific earlier in the thread?

[BROseidon]

The most specific thing I can really give is the general terseness of his early posts.

[fferyllt]

Have you meta'd any of his prior games?

(I haven't but I am going to make some time to do that tomorrow).

I haven't picked up anything directly scummy from him.

I'm a little troubled that the players I am suspicious of are my usual suspects.. Mara playing with Gif make a different enough splash in the thread that I'm not sure whether to chalk up the oddities to the partnership or to Mara's scum game. GM, I dunno. She's been bugging me from the start.

You seem pretty confident that you can read me. Which is making you look kinda uniquely non-paranoid at the moment.

[BROseidon]

I just had a game with kdub (jobpick) where I townread him early and was wrong, although that game had a lot of weird, very setup-specific stuff going on.

[MC RIDE]

Is GM also "pinging" or do you have reasons for that?

[borkjerfkin]

And I'm asking you why you're asking VCA questions like you actually think the answer will be convincing or meaningful at a time like this ffffffff

You are correct but you are also massively overreacting considering I think fferyllt is just trying to get reasoning for BRO's vote. Seems like it'd be natural to direct this ire at him.

Ugh...

You don't? Without a flip? What if GM is scum?

Points 2 and 3 are not mutually exclusive. I found something scummy, so I vote to apply pressure there.

Shouldn't the actual issue be that point 2 is objectively wrong since that, ostensibly, wasn't the only reason you were voting Kdub? Why is that an afterthought here?

Ok.
So you think L-1 wagon is too early at this stage?
