As above, I was voting for Puppy previously but it wasn't doing much and I didn't feel really strongly about it. I'm getting town-tells and scum-tells from you - undecided as yet. Nosferatu just looks like classic lazy lurker-scum.

i don't have too many conclusions to draw from it so far. like i said i feel that midway is acting different than the last game i played with him where he was scum but that might be by virtue of a) a wagon forming super fast on him when he thought he was pushing a miselim through and... actually yeah just a. i do think there are some things that he's said that mirror his behavior in that previous game but it doesn't have the same tone of... smugness?

for you, i tend to read these sort of early-game pushes for content as towny because it's an effort to find scum even if it's working with bare minimum. however, i don't really... get why you changed your vote to nosferatu just now? if you're putting this pressure on midway and it's helping you, why are you pivoting now?

p-edit: why tho.

what game was this? id be interested to read a midway scumgame.

I was never voting for midway and I feel like I'm getting loads of valuable insight from him through our exchanges. I also take the point Mafia Goon raised earlier that Midway is used to being elimmed Day 1, and we aren't likely to get anything more from him by wagonning him. In contrast Nosferatu is doing nothing, and I want to see how he reacts under a bit of pressure.

And seriously, if he doesn't do something useful, we'll just lynch him.

it waaaaas this one, newbie 2018.

also fair i guess, i just kind of think that pressure on someone like you were applying goes hand in hand with a vote this early on.

what is "useful" in this situation though? like you call them lazy/lurker but.. didn't they just confirm?

i didn't need to vote - the fact I'm feeling up Midway, doesn't mean I'm not looking at other people too. At this stage. it's more helpful to wagon quiet players to encourage them to talk, and if they are scum, put them under a bit of pressure.

Nosferatu hadnt posted for ages, and when they did turn up (only after being threatened with replacement), they posted nothing useful and didn't want to engage in a dialogue to help sort their slot. It's what I call the road to rome special.

Useful in that context could be many things - scumhunting, engaging in conversations, being open and giving opinions. normal town stuff.

ah, I guess I was a bit ambiguous

thats crazy bro

i think that if dunn flips red so does blair but not the other way around

I’m not really sure how much BM actually believes in his Nosferatu push. It feels like a dumb push to make.

bm i feel it's... a bit much to expect the second a person show up they lay out a grand platter of stuff for us to chew upon.

that being said, nosferatu, why do you say that about dunn/blair? i didn't take anything away from their exchange personally.

In post 157, midwaybear wrote:I’m not really sure how much BM actually believes in his Nosferatu push. It feels like a dumb push to make.

The first sentence may be fair. The second is not, and I would like you to explain it. I am a firm believer in the value of putting people under pressure and seeing how they react, and also getting people to put some words out there, and not just lurk and avoid scrutiny. It's objectively pro-town and the right thing to do, irrespective of my alignment, so I'm surprised to see you dismiss it off-hand.

You're misrepping me - I haven't said I expected that. But let me remind you of the sequence of events...

^ Not clear what the question above means, or why he voted where he did (although could be random, not necessarily, and worth asking). It does seem though, from the post he picked out, that he has likely been following/read at least some of the game.

This is his only contribution and then he goes away for a bit.

I show up to ask for a bit more explanation of his only post:

Rather than responding and giving any more comment to allow anyone to evaluate his slot, or to put his own opinions out there to influence the discussion, he is evasive and dismisses my question:

Ok, why arent you voting Blair then? Is that post really the only thing you want to comment on? FWIW I basically agree with Ydrasse assessment in #159.

innocentvillager, do you wanna townbloc with me?

Aight time to reply to Battle Mage.

In post 136, Battle Mage wrote:Translation: If you dare fking scumread me, I'm going to OMGUS the living shit out of you. Now don't look at me!

Not really sure where you got this from? Dunnstral is null scum to me because him not voting me isn't as townie as I thought and he's not posting.

In post 136, Battle Mage wrote:I'm not sure how this stacks up against your original attack on me for answering the question for you, where you suggested you were very worried about your answer being lost. Please can you remind me again why you're voting for me?

I was voting for you because I thought you were trying to me unnecessarily helpful, and your read on me seemed to me a vague . I think you deserve this UNVOTE: Battle Mage, but I'm still having trouble reading you right now.

In post 136, Battle Mage wrote:Why are you lying about this?

I did not mention it in part C, but I did overall. I guess it is semantics.

In post 136, Battle Mage wrote:Isn't this you doing exactly what you accused me of? Answering a question for Blair. Only in this case, it's a relevant question, and rather than even seek to ask her, you simply give a justification for her.

You're right.

In post 136, Battle Mage wrote:Is it? Are you asking for a town view before you commit your own? Good to have an explanation on this.

No, that was a question at you. I wanted to know whether you thought me being serious was scummy.

In post 136, Battle Mage wrote:As you know, I have a bit of form using this approach - you don't care for my opinion though? Even though you were quick to ask Mafia Goon for his view on the same earlier?

Not sure what you're trying to get at here. My comment was sarcastic and an attempt to discredit your argument against me.

In post 136, Battle Mage wrote:Town on the other hand, often try and form townblocs, and when successful these can be very effective.

Ok, but wouldn't scum be incentivized to buddy so that they can get into townblocks?

In post 136, Battle Mage wrote:Can you set out your assessment of me, maybe using 2 lists "town" and "scum" and listing points under each?

My read on you isn't really like this because I think you've been doing things that are generally townie this game, but I feel like scum you could fake easily. I guess if I had to say it: you are slight lean town.

Hey all, was super under the weather yesterday and spent pretty much all day in bed unable to function, but feeling much better today, so am working on catching up now

I just came here to have a good time and find my scumbuddy, and I'm feeling very attacked by all these walls and content right now.

I want an actual answer for this. Why did you stop using them?

Inen is probably town for this. It takes some real perspective shifting to fabricate this line of thought. I'm disappointed, Inen; we would make good scum partners.

I had to skip the Battle Mage and bear wall wars. They make my shoulder and knee hurt.

I wanted to vote you for this because it makes zero sense, but then I realised I should probably townread you for it for exactly that reason.

Wait, actually, I thought about it more and it does make sense. It's like when someone checks someone else with the identity thing in secret hitler and claims the other person is liberal (town). The person making the check could still be fascist (scum) while the person being checked is liberal, but if the person being checked is fascist, then the checker has to be fascist.

Does that work for reads like it does for mechanics? Maybe. Elaborate if you can please.

no way there's 3 scum, way too many for size 10. probably 2, maybe 2 and a traitor.

1) what makes post 31 awkward? i don't really see how it feels out of place.

these posts all rub me the wrong way, just something about askind other people these questions when there's not much out there looks IMO like busywork, it's the kind of thing i'd expect from scum figuring out how to settle in early phase
