Open 735: Watchmen Wanted - Game Over!

[the worst]

fun fact I didn't like any of the replace out slots so I just Pm'd the mod a quack and got a slot at random

I sighed a sigh of relief when it was town

[northsidegal]

I quite liked 117 from Dunn, I feel he's like totally capable of more as town and I'm looking forward to a lot more from him but I felt like his vote on Sesq was kinda bold at that point. I'm not really seeing anything town indicative in Sesq's ISO and kinda grumpy-poe-scumreading them though so maybe we're just on opposite ends of a swing saw there.

i could definitely see sesq being scum here

i wouldn't exactly say i have much experience with sesq but from the one game i read from her as town there was a lot more aggression i remember (like a

lot

)

[the worst]

Yeah same here from Uhhhhhhh Viomi's fire and ice Sesq was memorable and I tr'd them almost as much as I tr'd skitter there at one point. it definitely feels like they're playing it safe here

[the worst]

Kop is an interesting slot for me to parse rn

I kinda have this unspoken "mmmm alright" response to all of his posts. I guess he's probably unlikely to be scum with Keyser but Keyser is probably just town so I'm so comfortably numb there.

[the worst]

comfortably numb

I kinda want to swap Dunn and E/2.71 in your PoE but otherwise we're pretty close stance wise. I can't find a reason to like E yet.

though maybe you're scum for putting your name in your town list.....


hmm interesting take on Volx/Reundo. I want to read them as not scum together fwiw

i still think e*12's not caring about his image makes him town (like blackstar in that game you were scum in)

speaking of that game, if you're scum here i'm going to make up for being too vauge in my scumread of you in that game. watch out

anyways, this is as much for myself as it is for anyone else who cares, but here's a scumgame from e*12:
scum

here's two towngames (both replacements it looks like):

town1
town1

[the worst]

though interestingly while reading page 11 for the first time, before i read the rest of the game, i had this weird prophetic insight that {Keyser, Rel, Kop} was T/T/T
having said that i'm a waterbird not a prophet so the fuck do I know

[northsidegal]

seems as good a vote as any to me

shall we?
VOTE: sesq

interested in your reasoning on keyser being town

Spoiler:

[the worst]

you have me so pocketed rn

VOTE: Sesq

i think i owe E a meta dive, i might have my read on him completely upside down

[northsidegal]

{volxen, the worst, Dunnstral, Reundo, Toranaga, Kop}

by the way, just realized i accidentally deleted sesq from this

so it should be:
{sesq, volxen, the worst, Dunnstral, Reundo, Toranaga, Kop}

though interestingly while reading page 11 for the first time, before i read the rest of the game, i had this weird prophetic insight that {Keyser, Rel, Kop} was T/T/T
having said that i'm a waterbird not a prophet so the fuck do I know

i guess it could be possible. one of those things to look at post-game, i suppose

[the worst]

wrt Keyser I've really enjoyed his focus and I can pretty comfortably see where he's coming from with his posting
I just lost a scumgame where I sort of drifted in and out of pocketing him (and bloody nauci towncleared him) and his energy is feeling pretty similar so far

[the worst]

he feels pretty naturally curious and solvey without it feeling forced if that makes sense

[the worst]

i was so worried you were scum tbh

[northsidegal]

wouldn't that have just made things easy?

although i guess it'd be more fun if i was town, assuming you're town, of course

[the worst]

I don't think we've both been town since
like
mathdino's stack the deck?

[northsidegal]

there were a few mini normals, but that was ruby and not me, so you're right

didn't think it had been that long!

[the worst]

did you want more/have a different take on Keyser btw?

i'm casually flicking through E's games and the difference is so profound I'm thinking of just calling him town and watching Netflix instead

[the worst]

shame there's no trackers in this setup

[northsidegal]

-shrug-

i'm not particularly concerned about him yet, so i think it's probably fine. i might just tunnel sesq for today and leave it at that.

shame there's no trackers in this setup

[northsidegal]

by the way, can we um talk about this:

Code: Select all

         Neutral
       ___________
Scum  /  3  4  5  \  Town
Lean / 2         6 \ Lean
    /           /   \
   / 1         /   7 \
   |          /      |
Scum 0       /     8 Town
   ---------O---------

(the 6 is not related to anything in particular)

[the worst]

i figured he just wanted an indicator on there so the barometre ascii didn't look like a rock

@volxen:

how much mafia experience do you have? do you know the ducky...?

This is my second game on this site, with the other game being a newbie game. And I've played Mafia twice IRL. Yes, I've briefly known The Worst.

[the worst]

i kinda wondered if we were meant to be looking for something in his reads which directly related to 6 points, or something, but there's really like..nothing
the post in general was initially a bit pingy because of the sheer quantity of reads between 3.5-4.5

so when you say "on this site", do you have off-site experience (if you don't mind me asking)? have you read a lot of games on ms?

No, I don't have any offsite experience. I'm new to this. I have spent quite a lot of time reading (and rereading) through theory and articles on the MafiaScum.net wiki, but I haven't actually read through a completed game from start to finish. I'd like to, but right now I really just have time for this game.
