I can't say I feel great about these votes on Dann especially in light of my own flip of the read. There's a lot of straggling scum in my opinion who don't want to make any drastic moves. Getting off my own tangent just to say that Ythan actively fighting for Dann looks far better than those who are still passively on him. Something like Kazyan and Vecna maybe? Those are two people I'd place my bets on, Vecna especially. I glanced Manatee liking him and I would need far more than that because Vecna to me fits the concepts I'm talking about and how I would perceive..people not town to behave. Someone who wants to be town by implied motivation, but nothing to show for it. Manatee's defense is shortsighted and I don't see how it absolves Vecna at all. You could basically summarize it as Manatee enjoying the contrarianism Vecna has purportedly done but that means nothing to me. Strong opinions and stances go way farther even if they end up being wrong. I feel like Vecna and the way he plays right now implies that something will come of it. Yet it never does.
...I have an entire draft in our hydra PT i'm working on about how Vecna is the charismatic pick for scum trying to float without engaging enough to get shot and you beat me to it, damn.

sorry this took forever - was helping my mom w dinner
Oh, what is your time zone?
I had (wrongly) assumed you were in North America somewhere and was expecting activity accordingly, letting me know what your time schedule looks like might help me with that.
Can you explain what you mean by "acknowledged by many players IT"?
EST. I do live in North America LOL
IT - in thread. is that all you were confused abt?

Okay so we cna start there, then.
Can you unpack the specific timeline fo when exactly you defined us as "scary", or what particular post or set of posts led to that?
Can you also point to what posts from OTHER players gave you that impression?
Post numbers are fine, if you don't want to use the quote function.

I'm not asking for like, a thesis paper for your doctorate, but I'm trying to understand how you got to the conclusion of "Morph is scary" from the blank slate of "I have never played with morph and know nothing about them"

So, fun fact, Cephrir advertised this to his friends as "not having any bullshit weird new normal queue roles or modifiers" during a discussion being had about how much normal games suck like, ALL the balls lately.

Guess what this fakeclaim contains two of~
this seems pretty angleshooty especially if the game wasn't publicly advertised as such. I think we should take T3's claim as seriously as any other claim given the circumstances.
It WAS advertised as such though. Note Ceph's join date and take this line from the opening of the signup thread:
This game is normalesque in feel and flavor, but can't run in the normal queue for a few reasons which, I think, are all delineated in this post. Roles have some light flavor, but I don't plan on writing a novel during the game.
In post 470, unwnd wrote:Doesn't it bother you to be townread so easily? I've seen you get hives for it before. We've yet to even see 20% of Cabd power (Ffery too)...
Is this to us?
It bothers me a little to be townread easily, but I also feel like green is oozing out of my fingers all over the keyboard. But, real life is pretty unsettling right now and that may also be oozing onto the keyboard.
The strange thing is that people who should be decent at reading us and somewhat confident they can read us (specifically you and titus) are casting a lot of shade our way. The townreads are coming from players who dont know me well (and I assume don't know Cabd either) or who are alts.
In post 1, Cephrir wrote:This setup was created in part using a random element. If you find yourself thinking the mod would never make some particular role town or scum, you are probably wrong. This game may have the potential to ignore common setup design maxims. For example, if I rolled a neighborhood composed entirely of members of the same scumteam, I would not have a problem with that, given that I have now warned you about the possibility.
THATS RIGHT CEPH YOU FUCKING SAID NOT TO MOD META YOU AND IM GONNA DO IT ANWYAYS

I man, you dropped a bunch of naked quotes, mostly about our knowledge and friendship with the game's moderator. Are those the entire series of posts that gave you the "scary" impression?

Okay, so, if that ~IS~ a Yes, who else in this game is "scary" in the same manner, if anyone?

And Mastina too, actually, given she's been a relative non-factor this game comparatively?
I for one already answered this and yet here I am posting.

In post 1923, Vecna wrote:(Also, not a big fan of your "scum will kill it take". Thats never going to happen and even without reading I think you know that)
No, I unironically believe it. Scum want to kill the players that are threats to them. Players who are insanely strong as town are inherently threats to them even if the player is scum, because of multiball allowing that player to genuinely scumhunt. Scum do need to kill off certain PRs and spend nightkills there, but they also need to eliminate the players that they,
1: Don't think they'll be caught killing,
2: Don't think will be immune to nightkills,
and,
3: Represent a tangible threat to the scum.
Dannflor, thanks to inheriting a widely scumread slot but being Dannflor, fulfills the criteria for all three. Nobody would be caught dead watching Dannflor, nobody would be caught dead protecting Dannflor, so he's a safe kill to make, and he's a player that, due to being Dannflor, is going to be competent at scumhunting.
I legitimately believe that the town's best use of elimination is for players that the scumteams won't be inclined to eliminate, but who have a high chance of being scum. Because if we eliminate a player that one of the scumteams was going to kill anyway, then we're wasting the elimination, now, aren't we?
Plus, it's not like I'm binning Dannflor permanently in the pile. If neither scumteam wants to kill him in the first few nights, we can reevaluate, reassess, and rethink on a later day given Dannflor's contributions on if we think he's town or scum. But I genuinely believe that on D1, he is a poor elimination here.

Oh yeah I took a look at that iso--while they could be town, I lean towards scum, so sure;

It is multiball but how certain are we cross scum would spend a kill here. I'll ponder it.
