Mini Normal 2157 | Mason PT

[Billy Pilgrim]

I feel like I'm doing a good job of playing dumb. I'm back on NPOM.

[Datisi]

i don't think that's clearing for andres. scum does sometimes townread each other.

[Datisi]

in case my "claim loyal neighborizer then tracker" gambit backfires and i need to confirm myself to be a mason, i'm going to claim to be masons with you.

But that only happens if when she owns the initial gambit, that people start to trust Baltar over her.

which i kinda doubt, because i have a strong tracker crumb + you two will obviously vote with me, but you never know.

[hellbooks]

+1 on don't think that's clearing for andres. i think you'll win a 1v1 with baltar

[Datisi]

i think the most important part is figuring out if bob/baltar can be s/s. if not, bob has amazing reads which i'd be more than happy to take inspiration from.

[hellbooks]

thanks for carrying me u guys

[hellbooks]

& yeah we should hear from bob first

[Datisi]

i think i'm gonna be like "hey baltar, can we talk about the bob wagon for a sec" and when he says "sure" i'mma slam the guilty on him so he doesn't have time to scramble for a fakeclaim. but patience. patience. we need to see how the threads is breathing first.

aaaaaaaaa i haven't been in a 1v1 in a LONG time, this is exciting!

[Billy Pilgrim]

i don't think that's clearing for andres. scum does sometimes townread each other.

But like hard townreads them? Well if he's scum, they don't have a watcher. Or at least they didn't watch Baltar

[Datisi]

agh, i don't know. i've definitely seen scum hard townread their partners (shit i've been there myself, it catches town by surprise)

who do you think are viable partners then? aldu/testa/koba? like is anyone else even left?

[Billy Pilgrim]

also, Baltar has to post a bit before you drop the guilty on him. I wanna see how he was planning on entering the day.

And Hellbooks, we're not carrying you. We're all just playing. Look Datisi was wrong on her strong scumread yesterday. This game is hard and people need to stop second guessing and the crippling self-doubt. That's my job.

[hellbooks]

I might try to purposely assoc with datisi more to provide cover for billy? although it might be easier to sniff him out if two pieces of the puzzle are known to scum

[Billy Pilgrim]

I'm still not off NPOM. I think i had expressed some skepticism of NPOM before Baltar decided to go after me as well. So we're leaning on white knight, but maybe that was a D1 early chainsaw.

[hellbooks]

Testa and VP also have similar townread assocs, i would say testa has lower partner equity with baltar than andres does. i could deeeefinitely see aldu. just at a first glance. NPOM's not bad

[Datisi]

i'm trying to tie myself to ico as best as i can. you two can "subtly" hint tomorrow "no we probably shouldn't be pushing ico".

i am not carrying anyone, i am using my life to eat a bullet for our PR because that's all i'm good for :')

[hellbooks]

oh i thought testa was hardcore townreading VP but found this interesting post:

Baltar is a tough one. I am very fond of his posts and can easily be pocketed here, especially because I feel we were on the same wavelength with our reads on the gamestate and I was leaning town on him for that. I actually think his willingness to let Snow get hammered isn't necessarily scummy, I think scum could have easily moved away from the wagon here. At least I think his willingness to win people over for Billy or Snow might have been more town motivated here as they aren't really interesting miselims for scum.

but this also seems cheeky if testa was VP's partner

[Datisi]

i just remembered the early "townread but could be fooling me" read from andres. at first i thought that was an attempt to pocket then push baltar, but... ugh, later on in his iso he has baltar as town. gonna be interesting to see how the game turns upside down.

[Datisi]

i'm reskimming baltar's iso. the npom townreading him the suddenly flipping onto scumreading him... i didn't notice any interactions with aldus. +partner?

[Billy Pilgrim]

Testa and VP also have similar townread assocs, i would say testa has lower partner equity with baltar than andres does. i could deeeefinitely see aldu. just at a first glance. NPOM's not bad

What does not bad here mean?

[Billy Pilgrim]

Oh God, I so badly want to here why Baltar thinks the GB kill was weird.

[Datisi]

"wait what the fuck do you mean he wasn't a PR????"

[Billy Pilgrim]

Uh... thats a croc of shit and you know it.

[Datisi]

if you get second guessing and the crippling self-doubt, i get self-deprecating jokes.

[Billy Pilgrim]

I wanna let Baltar have some comments on the Bob wagon and NK before you blow up the thread. Thats my two cents.

[Datisi]

i know, i know, definitely, we need some spicy associates to work with tonight. my only worry is a quicklynch on bob before i get a chance to claim it, but how often do those happen anyway amirite...
