I don't think the scum leans on me are that unusual, my entrances to games are usually awkward enough and I will admit I feel doubly awkward in this playerlist because I know most of you like 1/4th as well as you all know each other. and two of the people I know best just left immediately. so I'm a little lost in piecing together how many people are just instantly getting meta reads on each other + being naturally distrustful of how easily those reads are formed. Like in the instance of infinity's read on murdercat, it seems like the type of thing that is so easily manipulated. I also don't think murdercat is a bad player and even if he is slightly polarized, would be able to adjust around people he knows. On the other hand, it's helpful because it's easier to see what's a genuine read and what isn't, I think infinity very much believes her read

catboi's scum ping on me was the only one that like, had me pause, because it feels more surface level than the other takes. in fact, I'd go as far as saying most of catboi's takes have been pretty surface level. it feels like they are rushing through trying to give takes rather than taking a moment to think them out

I get it, you're still scum though sorry

like this is what I'm talking about, it feels like fake bravado

I think purely on tone this feels towny because oof they are excited to be sorting and giving a lot of takes but

it actually just feels more like catboi is making it up. mostly because most of his posts are *giving* takes in reaction to things but he's not actually interacting with any of things to plumb deeper. It's just observing and then spitting out the opinion

that's fine

I'll stick around with murdercat

I probably want me/HEM today but outside that I'd go 2/3 of S_S/Murder/Dann in roughly that order of preference

Mostly looking forward to when inutile comes online, hopefully makes the game much easier.

I'd prefer if you didn't

you/HEM is actually like my least favorite combo today I think

I want like SS/Infinity

SS/cat could be good, if there is scum in that pair so be it

The level of confidence I have in HEM town is strong. I do not want to pair him off elsewhere for that reason (as being wrong burns what is imo a free point for town)

I'm not in control of what other people do-including HEM, who would have to reciprocate-and am not opposed to S_S/Murder today. I'm just a lot less confident in those reads. Beyond that it really depends how I feel about inutile.

Prism, lets get to know more about each other first before we pair of into the sunset

Take as much time and ask as many questions as you like; I'm in no rush.

Oh good god you mean catboi not yourself oh hell no

catboi could literally make every post thus far as scum on 72 hours of no sleep and juggling 3 8 lb bowling balls oh fuck no

yeah no I actually feel weirdly good about SS and I don't want catboi near him

Prism whats ur favorite flavor of ice cream and also what shpuld i be looking out for if youre scum and why are you different

Hmm, when did I go from being in your never trust group to being enough of a townread to want me to pair off?

If Prism/HEM fall next (and I think they should) and they are both town then I would want to see the next fall be two out of {S_S, Infinity, Murdercat}, I think.

I don't townread HEM's play on its own, but I'm not experienced with him so I'll defer to the people who are.

Replies going to be out of sequence because I'm lazy sorry in advance

The scum team of Dann and HEM will lose

how murdercat has reads this early points towards scum.

also putting inutile as never voting when he hasn't had the opportunity to interact or read through the slot.

Murdercat was far from the only person making early reads, what makes him scummier than anyone else doing so?

maybe your replies should be in sequence because i answered this

I don't have any good tips for reading me other than through flips (I despise unnecessary bussing) or puzzling out whether certain reads are implausible for me to hold. More concretely, I don't cede control of the game Day 2 unless I have extreme faith in my partner.

Beyond that ask catboi for tips since he apparently he spotted the difference instantly.

We are up a pair and I think you and SS will always live in the could be scum range, so it would be good to solve both of you at once. It's not the mostly likely to be town pair, but it would polarize the rest of the players left over.

b4 u start crying in ur room about me tunneling u btw cat i'm not saying that every post you made is scummy or something (only the ones about me!!!) but 100% you doing basic reactions/reads is NAI

So whats up catboi how do we know prism is town

this is lazy

I'm not calling you scum but this is a bad way to play mafia I think
