well considering ydra got hardpushed in the early part of boardgames by shelly and it was not pleasant I dont think she would repeat her play-style from that part of the game anymore.

I have worries because her activity has dropped off significantly.

I feel like activity dropping off significantly makes sense because the game is dying?

yea it's really strange how fast the gamestate stagnated and rolled over

it feels like early game d2-d3 in 2170 when town was so busy cannibalizing themselves that scum never felt the need to pressure the game state in anyway.

D1 however the game state felt more fluid and invested.

It might imply dunn is red here actually because with 2 opposing wagons on Green vs Red there is more incentive for scum to push one side over the other.

That's another reason I like a dunn flip here.

Explain this more?

I felt like dunn’s flippant response to pressure/being asked to give reads was very town indicative.

I feel there was a lot more activity during d1 when the wagons were TGP vs Dunn than D2 when the leading wagons are Hop vs Skitter.


I think this implies the mafia have more incentive to push a outcome in D1 versus in D2 because in my experience scum feel less invested in manipulating game-state when the town is on a cannibalization course.

So it would imply that TGP-Dunn was T/S while Hop/Skitter is T/T ?

The other explanation would be that the town was so demoralized by TGP green-flip that every1 just decided to stop playing during the later half of D1 which feels kind of not likely? And if we are in the universe that this is true we r not doing great.

Or maybe its just RL holiday stuff I dont really know.

I guess I'm just grasping for straws here because I don't really understand why this game took a turn south.

Yeah I get what you’re saying. I think the problem is that we have a lot of towny people in this game, personally I started being lost when my skitter SR went away but since TGP was the main scumread for a lot of people them flipping town may have demotivated people.

im just kinda disappoiinted i guess, it feels like the number of people trying to play the game is very down and thats a sad state of affairs :/

yeah and i feel like i'm contributing to all of this ... i dont' even know where to vote rn

fuck it i'm gonna try this VOTE: ydrasse

eugh fine, 2 wagon race and neither are mine.

VOTE: ydrasse

VOTE: Gypyx

I have no read on him and I don’t see that changing. Sorry @TGP if this is wrong. I’m still extremely paranoid on Pooky for 2133 because I don’t understand why he’d think I’d fear an Infinity red flip. I hate being so super paranoid on him but until he resolves 2133 for me, I won’t trust him in this game. Unlike Flea, the whole Jessie/Pooky thing makes me far more worried about Pooky because he should not have entertained it for even a second imo.

But his thought process still seemed genuine even if what he was saying made absolutely no freaking sense whatsoever.

I’m feeling pretty good about Hopkirk rn and doubling tripling down on my Flea townread.

If someone can convince me on a better wagon before deadline, I’ll entertain it but I don’t want to be on D3, still nullreading Gypyx. I just feel whomever I vote for will probably be wrong. :/

And ftr @Jessie, @Pooky. Your thought process on people not voting is whack because the launch is random, which means it’s like picking rocks on Survivor: everyone including themselves are at risk to be launched.

Pooky's engagement with my on the past couple pages felt very genuine

I will switch to Ydrasse if Isis does but I got early townpings from her. And if I don’t feel confident on anyone, I’d rather vote a slot I don’t think my read on will get clearer.

I’m completely torn on him right now and if he cares about that changing, he needs to fix it. After Hideyoshi, I can’t ever ignore any feelings of paranoia on him and I’m still really scared. Because if he is ever scum here, I will be extremely upset.

Honestly I’m worried you’re scum and playing up the paranoia after what I wrote in 2087

I'd say Glorias decent into paranoia has been fairly consistent with the day tbh.

Pooks is definitely one to look at next with the game stalling and restarting.

Really? I thought she would've been more paranoid during when she was pushing dunn alongside pooky. Can you find quotes?

I can have a dig, just going off vibe from her mostly

No offence but have you ignored every single thing that went down last night?

Why? Between you and Jessie my brain is turning into swiss cheese. Thank God Flea and Hopkirk are making sense.

@Infinity, I need you to answer this because you thinking I’m scum after all of that is kind’ve weirding me out.

How was that relevant?

PEdit: idk people normally get worried when they're too in sync with someone, I don't so maybe I'm not familiar enough with that feeling to know when it should/shouldn't appear but still

I thought your engagement with me was +town but not so much that you can't be scum here? I townread literally everyone in the game so I'm going to mention everything that makes me a bit suspicious.

Why would they get worried when they’re in snync? It’s the exact opposite for me. I tr it when other players are mindmelding with me on a read. I don’t even understand this at all?

I’m paranoiaing on him because he more than anyone else in this game, should absolutely know I’m town here and if he is doubting me in the slightest, it’s extremely pinging. Ironically the one thing I am mindmelding with him on is that I’m really not trusting you either.

I don’t understand how you continue to ignore blatantly obvious evidence that I’m town. I’m not paranoid on Jessie because unlike you, I honestly believe she believes her reasoning as whack to me as it is.

Phase 2 started in 1596.

First instance of potential paranoia

There's a couple of mod aimed mech posts, this is stretchy but to me read as getting nervous/paranoid

Who do you think you're more likely to be wrong on?

I honestly wish I had a clue. But I guess voting amongst those three makes the most sense. I feel the best about Pooky but I’m scared to trust my reads based off of what happened in Death Curse and Hideyoshi. :/

More paranoia, scared to trust herself.


This is the weirdest thing ever btw, paranoia-casing someone. lol. Gotta say though flicking through this, she's trying to be effective, she's asking questions and forming opinions. She is locktown for me.


#2093 and #2094 read as slightly suspicious with a hint of paranoia.

Then we get to #2149 where paranoia is openly mentioned.

I dunno, this is probably mostly just me.
