And it is because LLD can then pick a name from the majority and then if someone objects when on their would elim pile it’s a red flag.

That’s exactly the point.In post 1462, Something_Smart wrote:It also doesn't allow people to qualify their choices or express preferences. I'm really not sure it would be as useful as asking for reads.
Other posts can express nuance and be read for such and see where shit lines up. But end of the day this is a snapshot and “this is where I am” and you can’t do like “maybes”
So am I and that’s my PoE of would elim.In post 1464, Towelie wrote:Yeah I’m firstly a PoE player, and this can be backed up by most of the gameIn post 1461, Critter wrote:It gets away from the “I townread them” crap too. Either you’re willing to elim someone or you’re not and it forces stances.
I’m good, thanks though.
What’s you’re PoE of would elim?
Oh no they do believe in them. They’ll be forced into making those tough choices they don’t want to quantify.In post 1467, Something_Smart wrote:So you're going to get people making arbitrary decisions that they don't believe in and that's not going to tell you much.
Am I okay if X is elimmed? Really?
Then if they compare it to their read wall and go “yeah I am good” or “wtf I am off somewhere”.
Players do read walls all the time. It’s just a matter of a simple line of “okay here or under I am willing to elim” I don’t see what the issue is.

That’s you’re reads list. Where is your cutoff for would elim?
but i'm again just gonna point out that the broader exercise is probably not going to go anywhere just now
I don’t get why people are resistant to who they would be okay elimming.
I already went into why earlier. You disagreed.In post 1476, Towelie wrote:(Because it’s abundantly clear you’re using this to try and derail VFT without really fully going into your townread on them)
My reason is stilly my reason.
If a majority of people want VFT as an elim then they do.
I can’t exactly derail what people want.
Are you scared your miselim won’t happen?
I have accepted that I don’t have the words to convince on Kyo. She’s not a miselim though. It’s a matter of finding scum with her.In post 1480, Towelie wrote:Big talk from chief of the “KYO IS FLAVOR HUNTING” committeeIn post 1477, Critter wrote:Are you scared your miselim won’t happen?

The amount of people doing “covert” reads this game is dumb. Town should be more focused on killing scum than hiding shit. If he TRULY thought she was scum for whatever the duck it is, he would have outed it.
Because they aren’t.In post 1507, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:This is really hard to follow for me even with brain functioning. Let me be clear about the little bit I picked up on.
Even given the POV that VFT is offering for Critter, I note Critter isn't giving any other people who may be unclaimed PRs the time to put together their own plans. This isn't me softing -- it's saying that the viewpoint you're putting out there for Critter is at odds with Critter's own play, especially when Critter is this aware /of/ other PRs being in the game, and Critter already saw someone accusing me of doing the logical outcome of following your assertion to its conclusion would be (i.e. Something_Smart saying "my goal is the only one that matters" sarcastically).
Also, Critter is demanding town cohesion without allowing town to cohere naturally. They're trying to force the cohesion. I don't see a PR who has utility in doing that deciding to willingly draw that much attention to themselves, as VFT is suggesting is the case. It is, however, probably the only case where ssbm's talking about outing Critter's supposed softclaims in a strategic manner actually makes more sense than leaving well enough alone -- but that's not a good thing by any means for Critter no matter who or what they are in terms of role.
However, I am at this time satisfied that LLD made a good pick for elimination target.
No one is actually talking to each other they’re talking through each other.
Yeah I am not best at rallying the troops but no one else is trying either.
It’s all my way or the highway but at least I am blunt enough to fucking say it.
You’re just sitting there talking about how I am doing things badly.
How about you get off your butt and lead town to who you want elimmed?
Just going “LLD picked fine” is not cohesion it’s settling and going “I don’t get what I want guess this is fine”.
1-2 I am not going to touch that with a ten foot pole except to say I hope you feel better. I won’t judge someone’s brain space.In post 1511, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:Critter, my brain is in no state to lead town. This isn't a defense, I'm so far out of my meta that anyone who trusts in meta should be calling for me to die today no questions asked, and I both recognize that and literally cannot do anything about it since it is due to forces beyond my control or anyone else's right now. I'm barely functional enough to read the game and make decisions for myself about what I'm reading. I'm visibly fucking up basic stuff when I write up my posts on a regular basis. I'm not leading town, that's a terrible idea right now and you of all people should see that for what it is, presuming you aren't red (which, for me, is presuming an awful lot right now).
Also! It isn't settling. I actually think it's a good decision. I had my doubts to start (mostly to do with VFT needing to get their bearings...), but seeing how VFT conducted themselves since the pick has proven the point for me.
Finally! Yeah, I'm active-lurking. What would you do if your brain suddenly refused to function and you could no longer trust yourself to make fully-informed decisions in the game? If nothing else I'm not willing to rally town behind a blatantly obviously doomed march like the world's most disastrous conga-line.
I don’t know what you’re meaning by this post though. You say you’re not qualified to make decisions/reads?
Yet you’ve decided that there’s a “doomed” March like a conga line?
It feels like you’re trying to say “I am not capable”. If I was in your shoes I would stop attacking someone trying and build up what you want to see instead. Positivity is good.
I am not asking you to shut up. I am asking you to be positive. I don’t even follow what you need addressing other than you disagree with me on my Kyo read and think I am playing self centered. I am playing town centered with things I can’t explain. So I like don’t follow what you need from me.In post 1512, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:And since I just realized it might bear some explanation: I'm still bringing up what I see despite my current impairment because I often see things other people don't. If everyone is like "well, whatever", I don't trust myself enough to press the issue with them. But I won't just remain totally silent on it because what if I do see something important? What if that wouldn't have been brought up? Would I be doing town any sort of service by keeping my mouth shut?
I'm asking you honestly. If you think I should shut the hell up and not chip in again for the game, you fuckin' got it. This is your one chance to buy my silence, Critter, and there will not be another.
If you don't think that, then you need to do more than act like I'm obviously out of my mind. You need to address my points.
Really? Name a read of yours you’ve collaborated with someone on. I can’t even remember what your reads are except you haven’t shared them. I have asked you for them in many different ways and gotten stonewalled. You wanna say you’re collaborating show me.In post 1513, Something_Smart wrote:Feels inaccurate to me.

So your answer is I am scum with no one?In post 1528, ssbm_Kyouko wrote:Theatre is the only possibility imo, so unless it's exactly Critter, Gamma, M&M, Gamma probably not scum.
Wisdom asked who I am scum with.
Me Wisdom and VFT all have very similar scumreads. Either one or more of them are scum or there is town cohesion and scum you doesn’t like it.
Ffs I was trying to just lurk this out and not have my alt outed. Even if you thought it was me the least you could do is shut up about it.
So yeah hi :/ I have been trying to work on a new meta but it’s entirely fuckin infuriating when I can’t.
I didn’t as I didn’t know what I thought yet. LLD is a notoriously hard player for me to read and so I was shutting up and listening even though I usually disagree with her.In post 1531, ssbm_Kyouko wrote:Speaking of the troll claim, would be interesting to see Critter's reaction there. When LLD and Dunn fought, he was involved in discussion without taking a stance on it (121).
Now I guess to answer the other questions:
Yes Skitter we have played together before obviously.
Yes I find Dunn and Gamma easy enough reads with time
Yes I am decent scum. I am working on getting there for town.
Yes I use boil reads and reads with time as both alignments.
I hate meta tells of any way shape and form and want to be judged by what I say in a certain game.

It’s one of the TRs I am less certain on (hence willing to elim pile) but yes I have my reasoning for TRing an obviously fake jester play despite the fact that annoys me a lot.
You did this stupid shit in the normal too. It was wrong then. It’s wrong now. I have roughly 10 years + mafia forum experience on this site and probably if you take the other sites and throw them together even more. I assure you I have a unique way of phrasing things due to my brain chemistry so I pick my words very carefully even when I fast type. That’s how I know I do not have that tell you have made up.
That boil/wait is standard I don’t know. Now I could sit here and glorify you with a response but I have no desire to ever read through all of my games when it’s fundamentally irrelevant.
The big questions are am I scum? And who with?
I am quite literally with > 90% confidence one of the few players you will not be able to language tell on.
What am I doing in the game that’s scummy?

If that isn't satisfying, well, I told you so.
This doesn’t say who is in your elim pile and who isn’t and it doesn’t give me an idea at all about who you scumread.
This isn’t satisfying because I have no idea where you stand on half the game.
Then you didn’t want to say who was in your elim pile.
This wasn’t a “I want respect from 30k posts” this was a “I don’t want people to tarnish my reads because MathBlade”. I wanted to distance myself from prior meta while trying to show that I am improving. This was just me trying to not be me.

You have been trying to get reads to heatmap. Fair enough, that worked for you before, though I'm skeptical whether it will work here. I'm not sure how that's supposed to help LLD.
You are not tunneling Kyo, thank you, I appreciate it.
I have said several times that it's your town play. Also sounds like a misunderstanding. I had you as leantown a while ago but that's it.
So she can go say “Players A B C D are my townreads who do they agree can go”
Hmmm they all say “E can be elimmed, can they?”
It creates cohesion as well as acts as a barometer for reads
And she is doing her own thing with posts here. It’s a tool. Not the be all end all. Why are you so against people stating plainly where they are? I like don’t get this.In post 1596, Something_Smart wrote:But she's probably not going to. She's obviously already doing her own thing.

You did so and did so badly because you know I am right and refusing further would have looked even worse.

You try to direct in a mechanically pleasing way that makes sense on the surface but if you stop to think about it, it's more often than not going to be pro-scum to let an uninformed townie pick an execution from amongst 12 players when the ratio of town to scum is 3:1. The odds of hitting town only go up if your buddies have claimed or softed PRs (M&M, possibly Gamma), because it's unlikely that someone who has claimed or softed is going to be prevalent in the elimination piles that LLD would be parsing here. This is like when you directed ELO with "fake voting" in my Mini 2242 that just ended. On the surface it sounds nice, but really this just gives scum an IC to hide behind.

If the same thing happened here which I hope not then I would do the same.

I don't have much else to say about things right now other than:
I like Critter less and less over time (incredible feat at this stage),
I don't like VFT much and they aren't doing any heroics I trust to pull them out of the fire,
I /really/ like ssbm (except that outing alts is poor form IMO),
and I think StrangeMatter, EMMI, bears, Dunn is where scum 3 is at right now.
Having second thoughts on bears. Both EMMI and StrangeMatter are blatantly ignoring that people want to make them the elimination soon. Dunn's dropped off a cliff in activity, I feel like.

I don't really understand your assertion here but will try to clarify mine: it was early-ish D1 and I don't think there was an obvious "scum are ahead/behind" but I do think that M&M was looking like a default safe spot for people to land, so a hypothesis of mine was that getting into a fight with me would be a good way to move the gamestate away from that from the time being, but only if m&m is scum with them. That was half of my argument why I think the two might be the same alignment (the other half that pooky pulling me back from the brink is not something scum M&M does to scum VFT)I think that scum don’t push players that are not elimmable without some kind of benefit and they’d need a gamestate in which they can afford to do so?

A fight with you if it drew attention away would drive attention away.
However I don’t think the rest of the point that “only if M&M is scum with them” is correct.
Assuming that the pull is from scum and you town and M&M unknown alignment
Scum could be setting you up for a miselim future days.
Scum could be setting up credit for if M&M is town
Or Scum accept the fact that M&M is going down and want to make noise simply to “look Townie”
Assuming that the pull is from town and you town and M&M unknown alignment
Then the pull believes your are scum more than M&M. That doesn’t imply M&M a certain alignment
When I am scum, if town is at each other’s throats I don’t go out of my way to fix it or if I do I fix it in a proscum way. It’s a lot easier to add to the chaos with another push or mimic town than it is to heal things.In post 1991, Something_Smart wrote:I definitely see what you mean with that, but I'm not sure why the lack of healthy conversation would make scum more prone to pushing someone they can't execute.

But sure, let's say I write Venus off at this point.
I think EMMI and Strange are townier than say, Dunn or Mocha. By MILES.
And I don't agree that Venus is that townie.
Like I don't think our reads lists are that far off, it's mostly just that your top suspects EMMI and Strange are in my town pool and my top scum suspect Venus is in your top town pool.
So I can either take my one day alive and in control to take a shot at the person in that pool (Venus) or I can compromise kill someone like Dunnstral with you.
I don't know that compromising gets me anywhere. You will have time to kill EMMI. I have no doubt that if Venus flips town, Strange will die (I think Strange over EMMI first, but you do you).
But I only get one shot.
I think Mocha is townier than EMMI and Strange. I don’t see scum bears intentionally doing a jester bit and intentionally poking a fight with Gamma. In contrast, EMMI is a null read at best. These past few pages have had almost nothing posted and I get she’s VLA for 2 days now but if I am being generous the last time she posted anything close to content was Wednesday, and even then it wasn’t some shiny beacon of content. It’s something very clear.
Dunn on the other hand I do waffle on. There’s reasons I TR him and reasons I SR him.
Strange is a null entity. I do not remember anything about them.
So my list of those players is
Bears
Dunn/Strange
EMMI
I don’t see how you’re getting Strange or EMMI die at all?

I think this meta here is almost a dead ringer for what she is posting here. I don’t see VFT scum at all.
Quite honestly if VFT is somehow scum despite all the imho towntelling she’s been doing it almost certainly would need to be with Wisdom or another top townread of mine. I think with how much resistance there is between the two of you there’s no way we have “half” the reads right.

Scumreading me is fine, you aren't even the only one to do so, stop talking shit.
When you claim I am making shit up about my read on VFT when I could literally go into my ISO and pull the post I made when I went from "I don't like this but LLD said so" to "oh never mind this is scum"? That's a lie.
Critter, you know the difference between saying things as you see them and telling a lie? When you say things as you see them, you include room to be fucking wrong -- because you aren't omniscient and omnipresent. You don't know what I think in my fucking head. I certainly never thought "oh a scumread is unfun" -- saying I did is a lie, and your wording would make it a lie even if I did think that.
You wanna talk about me, you wanna scumread me even, what the fuck ever. But as soon as you start confidently saying I did things that I did not do or stating ANYTHING about my internal thoughts like you know a single goddamn thing that goes on in my head, you are crossing a line and you don't get to expect anything but anger.
I get reads by trying to figure out why someone posts something and that involves trying to figure out what they are thinking.
I do not know how to acknowledge your request in a way that will not make you angry.
I do not think I lied and I am sorry that my posting is hurting you if you’re town.
I like to get into scum’s head and play around with it as part of hunting them.
I don’t see original thought from your slot is my opinion. You screaming at me that it is doesn’t change anything for me except it makes you a scary person I don’t want to interact with.
If you’re town this conversation is entirely unproductive. Give me time to get there.

Because scum either know who the doc is or maybe there is a jailkeeper or roleblocker.
The only thing scum claiming PR would do if VFT is scum is give the game away that VFT is scum and give a conf town and who should be listened to.
I think whoever is the protective role will be outed in due time and a lot of d1 will start to make sense but I think the VT claim is NAI.

Since we’re in a low complex game that works.

That works too.
I am the doctor. It’s why I wanted to end day early so Gamma could get his check off.
If I am right scum are looking for certain flavors and Dunn is also a PR so I didn’t want to elim him either.
So now scum can shoot me and Gamma is either RB’d again or gets another check off thus freeing up other PRs like Dunn and X to act.

If Wisdom is scum no multitasking in the rules so we should be good.
If he’s town things get interesting.
Informed is a normal modifier for scum. This is not always the case.

The one about hiding behind the alt does not look as likely because for one it's way earlier in the day and then he's quoting Kyouko and talking about Critter so it's not that clear.
