mildly dissapointed there's not 24 yet tbh

-Ico

oof first pagetop

boom!

confirm mafia goon with the other dude

so basicly i'll probably be getting this slot scumread at first, and then probably/hopefully be townread after that. it's like a natural cycle with me

if you want strategy advice or setup advice, datisi is the head you wanna be talking to in here

also, brace your panties because there will be spam in here :p

hope you don't mind gifs

so Datis, we finally rolled scum together

Ico if you get our slot lynched i swear to god

Also do you get the mechanics

oh yeah, some "basic advice" in play - take stances, aviod being "wishy-washy" - a lot of time scum is caught when it becomes obvious they're not scumhunting, not taking stances, that they don't really ~care~ what happens (tho don't go in the other extreme and make it obvious you're making stuff up)

and you should probably avoid nullreading us if possible, scum often does that to their partner if they don't know how to interact

Kilgamayan and DKKoba right into the theory talk. Maybe we could trap them with that day 2? Is there some way to encourage them to stay focused on that sort of talk? I could ask lots of questions maybe?

as expected, there will be discussion about should we massclaim vs should we play normally. if you want to chime in, play the "newbie card" and ask about the setup you can, though (1) make sure you get there naturally (like don't just jump in now when you didn't earlier) and (2) make sure it's not the *only* thing you're talking about. what do you mean about trapping them with it btw?

as what would be better for us... i honestly am not sure. i think i'd rather play this "normally" at least until Day 2 because we gotta decide what we're gonna fakeclaim, but i don't think one stratery is generally "better" for any team than the other. at least i haven't worked it out.

I meant this trap. If I get them focused on discussing the setup a lot. Maybe day 2 you can say they aren't scum hunting and only trying to look busy by talking about the set up a lot.

that'd be fun. i'm kinda ~eh on it working though, since i think it's natural for Town to scumhunt in addition of mechanic talk, plus for that you'd also have to constantly be pushing for mech talk as well. i think if opportunity presents (i.e., if someone in the Town does talk a lot about the setup on their own) we could use that for a push, but i'm not sure we can naturally "lead" them to only talking about the setup without us also being guilty of it.

i like that you're already planning ahead though it's a good plan, but i'm not sure i know how to perform it without also becoming one of the "only-mech-talk" folk.

Yeah, I get that. I'm overthinking like five posts and the plan was a stretch. Thanks for being a realist.

As for what Icon (is that okay?) said, if you two do get scum read earlier how'd you like me to handle it? Also keep the gifs coming.

hey, keep the ideas coming.

(pretty sure dragon boi won't mind) i'm not quite sure. icon and i have pretty different playstyles, and while he usually gets scumread early, i'm usually townread early, so i'm also looking forward to seeing how this hydra is gonna work lol. i'm hoping the two of us will (meaning, your and our slot) will have some interaction in thread, and to see where your read on us "develops" from there. now, ideally you will be townreading us, (as i said before, we're much stronger if there's 2 of us due to doc heal), but if bussing is needed to win i'm not gonna complain.

actually reading again, i think DkKoba is a mechanic oriented player, they might fall into the "trap" themself. can't plan for it really, but i think it's something to keep in mind.

I don't know if I should ask before interacting with you like that? But it was a question I legitimately had for you and thought it'd be better ask there than here. I won't push theory stuff much further, but there doesn't seem to be much else to do at the moment.

Oh it's fine, this is pretty "low intensity" theatre, since it's stuff that's pretty mechanic-y and dealing with past games. It's good, no worries.

Maybe if it's something more "heavy" or "difficult" (i hope you get what i mean lmao) then give me a heads up, but these basic interactions are chill.

I mean, if town decides to be stupud and spend most of the time discussing mechanics, we won't stop them

me in scumchat: we shouldn't push useless banter about mechanics
me in thread:

Gotta work with what you got.

i can't wait for clidd to barge in some page 5-6 with a 10k word essay on how and why he's got the game solved.

I love clidd, I replaced them into their slot for Newbie 1996 specifically because I loved their style.

them into their slot? I'm dumb. I replaced into their slot.

yeah, same. was scumbuddies with him once. that was fun.

pedit: until you said i didn0t even notice, my brain automatically corrected that.

I'm caught, I'm sorry. Time to bus.
