Enchant is a threat to us.

sorry if you were discouraged from roleplaying; i enjoyed it i just thought i should point out that i learned of its source because before doing so i thought it was possible you were either playing into me thinking the rescuers (you!, and i am hoping we are, uh, rescued, being trapped on an island and all) were from the future or! you were using flavour knowledge of being a rescuer from the future or something of the sort as source material,

i know that sometimes me wanting things to make sense to me when they are fun things as opposed to game things can take some of the fun away,

The radio buzzes to life for the final time before sunset.

                        

#1811 - Why would you banish someone to the harsh wilderness all on their own?
Perhaps the spies don't have lethal intentions. Maybe they'll even apologize!
We shouldn't be too quick about this..
~Shutterbug               

                         

While I understand shutter's sentiment, I think we have to exile someone.
In my opinion, Enchant is probably our best choice rn.
Their only responses have been defensive, and they seem suspicious.
~Locke

#1811 - I think that between the most suspicious two, my vote would be on Something Smart here.
I can't get a good read on Enchant.
If he actually is a vanilla insurgent, then that could be one explanation as to why House was so disinterested in this game ...
but still had time for other mafia ventures.
Though, I'm not sure if that is a common thing that happens on this "forum".

Whatever it is you all have planned....    
I would do it soon.

Was kinda AWOL today trying to do casual speedrunning
Looks like taking a shortcut to the transmission didn’t yield much info aside from the fact Enchant claimed

[Gamma Emerald]

I had no townvibes on roden and i dont like ss's entrance thus far + enchant seems kinda clueless in a way that doesnt seem likely to be coming from someone with access to a scum pt

What about Enchant’s posting seems clueless to you?

[Gamma Emerald]

DrippingGoofball also looked scared about what was happening to Enchant and voted Smart, so they could be scums with Enchant

if i said that your stance towards drippinggoofball raises alarm bells for me, could you see why?

The more interesting/concerning thing on my end is her SRs lining up so neatly with mine
@Tetrina what associatives or other things make you think the team is Enchant/S_S/DGB?

[Something_Smart]

not really i wanna see him try to solve first

I'll see what I can do, but I can't really promise that I can do much today.

[Gamma Emerald]

s_s replaces into scum slots without fail its s_s

Is this actually statistically accurate?

[ssbm_Kyouko]

s_s replaces into scum slots without fail its s_s

Is this actually statistically accurate?

In my experience he replaces into scum slots 100% of the time

[Something_Smart]

I don't know, maybe? I tend to mostly replace into games where I love the playerlist, so maybe people who replace out of games with more experienced/well-known players lean scum? Probably just a meme though.

[Gamma Emerald]

no one was really putting a lot of effort into sorting the callers until shiki asked them to and shiki asked people like pooky and the replacements specifically

i don't really see how this is anything except an excuse to scumread some people and not others

this ^
FYI I don’t think I’m gonna do a pbpa-form breakdown of all the transmissions for a little bit but I’ve been vocalizing my opinions on the callers in-the-moment

[Gamma Emerald]

I don't know, maybe? I tend to mostly replace into games where I love the playerlist, so maybe people who replace out of games with more experienced/well-known players lean scum? Probably just a meme though.

Off short-term memory I remember you replaced into Misty’s slot in OMB which was scum
Beyond that I actually can’t remember any games where you repped in

[Something_Smart]

Anyway my best picks for town atm would I guess be DGB and rousseau?

I feel like Galron did something I liked, but I might just be imagining that.

[Something_Smart]

Oh I think it was 1823 I liked from Galron.

[rousseau]

Oh I think it was 1823 I liked from Galron.

buying on credit here?

[rousseau]

Anyway my best picks for town atm would I guess be DGB

curious about this tho

[Gamma Emerald]

--did locke and maple townslip here?
--... is shutter just giving up and trolling us?

I kinda see the townslip, it feels dubious though

[Gamma Emerald]

Oh he isnt e1 anymore
VOTE: ss

I would be p surprised if enchant flipped scum honestly
Can people onwagon summarize why they're voting him plz?

Especially infinity, pooky, and gamma?
Pedit >.>

Neither Enchant, S_S, nor their predecessors have really made me feel like they were town in any major capacity
I’m opting for voting Enchant because given an extra day S_S might actually become obvtown, I don’t have the same faith in Enchant, plus Enchant has not made use of the chances she was given so far, she kinda is just playing muted and imo when a slot fails to generate much useful content after multiple residents it’s most likely a scum slot

[Gamma Emerald]

I tend to scumread people who can't keep up in a hyperposting meta

Is this legit??? I don’t recall this ever coming up in Legends of the Hidden Temple despite a few people having issues keeping up (even though imo the pace wasn’t THAT bad)

[Gamma Emerald]

I have found that when a thread goes hyperspeed on posting, the people who struggle to "keep up" tend to be scum because it takes a fairly rare skill set to be able to hyper post as town.

These scum then replace out as they find themselves falling further and further behind.

Tbh you don’t need to be able to hyperpost in order to read a fast game
You just need solid reading speed (reading comprehension is up for debate)

[Gamma Emerald]

UNVOTE: Enchant

can we get like some final thoughts on who you think the scum are?

thx bud

I am not accurate.

If you are town, you solve it far better than me without needing of my reads. So don't follow them.


About mafia. Tetrina/Cephier and someone else, perhaps?
Tetrina could be mafia who push in hopes to get more claims, if SS is town.
Cephier... Idk. I simple dislike him. Probably most no reliable.

Here you go.

Idk if “pushing for claims” entirely fits Tetrina’s play today, she just seems to be bloodlusted

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I tend to scumread people who can't keep up in a hyperposting meta

Is this legit??? I don’t recall this ever coming up in Legends of the Hidden Temple despite a few people having issues keeping up (even though imo the pace wasn’t THAT bad)

I think it is.

Not Quite Normal Multiball just ended and all the scumbags were basically lurkers who couldn't keep up with the shitpost train.

Similarly in Flavor Leaf vs Hectic.

[Gamma Emerald]

That's kinda what I'm wondering about.

In my experience skitter is much stronger at avoiding pressure as scum than at deflecting pressure once she starts receiving it.

Don’t have much actual input on this but this description of skitter fits me too I’d probably say
It’s probably the biggest flaw in my scumgame atp, after having ironed out the kink of straight up shutting down to any sustained pressure at all

[Gamma Emerald]

Infinity's posting is that of early-era panic! at the disco lyrical prowess

Aaugh I hear it now GET OUT OF MY BRAIN!

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

one thing I don't like about Enchant is his lack of confidence

I watched him play town mason in this game I modded:

https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=87316

and he has like tons of confidence.

I'm not sure why this game he has decided he doesn't know anything. It is a weird thing to see.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I guess maybe it's easier to be confident if you're masons with half the town?

I dunno I guess I just expect a lot more impact and solving from him even if some of it is wrong.
