I like Bell's tone, but pointing that out ruins the Noraa coaching/bussing joke so I'll shelve that for later.
In post 166, Noraa wrote:Taylor - town for realizing that this isn't AI due to previous experience playing with me
Murder - null bc he didn't realize it wasn't AI even tho he has played with me before but the paranoia towards shelly is very town bc when playing with shelly, it is nerve-racking trying to determine if you're being absolutely fooled or if you are judging too much and she's actually town. I feel this paranoia all the way after one scum game with her where she told me about all her evil plans in the scum pt and after one town game where I was fooled by her big time. Something that town pings + something that scum pings cancel out and so I am null but prolly town lean still.
Pooky - town because I believe he believes in his SR on me and scum wouldn't bc scum knows who their scum buddies are.
Lexi - null. I still dislike the discord argument. Lexi's been more eager to push me than Pooky has which tbh is a bit strange considering normally the one that starts it is the biggest on pushing it :/
Isis - town because the tone is towny and I relate to some of those posts in that I would say something similar in her position
Bell - townie confusion. could be faked but I'm willing to believe it is real for now
Shelly - scum for misrepping people and also for throwing shade at pooky yet never voting pooky.
Vaultdweller - scum. can't quite put my finger on what's wrong here but I'm def getting scum pings.
Hopkirk - null but lean scum. dislike the jumping on all biggest wagons for no reason.
You
really
don't want to die, do you?

Gonna preemptively say Tayl0r's town for this. I have no idea what Noraa is pointing out that she is pretending makes her so sure but whatevers.

I entertained this for a whole 15 seconds, and then I saw Noraa suddenly go into mega defensive/tryhard mode.

Serious bummer if true.

This was the sentence I was referring to when I said you were being defensive. Perhaps defensive isnt the right word. I think you are actively discrediting what I say.
Okay, time to bury you. Here is where you made your mistake, calling this "discrediting". (Another buzzword, btw.)

One second.
Noraa butchers buzzwords pretty much consistently, as does shelly.

I still find the walls of text and flailing scummy. Unfortunately there is a chance Noraa does that as town. I have not seen Noraa do the thing I associate with her town play yet, though.

Evidence of Noraa's hemming and hawing on me.

Calling me Null but constantly looking for a way to scumread me that can be deemed as valid, because she's afraid to fabricate a reason and have it be torn down, in my opinion.

But even if you think that assessment of her behaviour is wrong, her behaviour is clear as day.

Here is the evidence.
this stuff is NOT AI for noraa.
If I were scum opposing a town!Noraa, I'd probably just take my choice at the infinite ways she can be attacked and go from there. However since I'm not, I have to acknowledge you're right, this is very much how Noraa plays. I get your concern better.

The huge reads list after coming pressure and the huge volume of her posts after the pressure still comes across as really scummy to me.

Agree. It feels made up to support her "I'm just a imcompetent newbtown" argument.

You can probably townbloc Murdercat, Lamb, Pooky at this point. I trust whoever it was knows Murdercat well enough to locktown him, and I agree with his posts. My spicy read is Bell!town actually. Call it gut for now but you'll see.

Tayl0r, I do actually get her concerns. However, I did not like her "It would be stupid of me to defend Noraa as scum here" post. I think she probably would.

Fidget is town, let's go.

And yeah, I've played with MurderCat once or twice before. They feel town here. Let's be honest, nothing I say should be taken with 100 percent, but we should be willing to operate on principles of "this is definitely town" for the first few cycles at least.

Like I'm pretty comfortable in Fidget, Pooky, and MurderCat as town. There's a few others I also think are town.

This feels like a gross simplification. I actually think Fidget is town because of their hesitance and acquiescence to some of the counter arguments.

The fact that they objectively found some merit in the defenses put up makes me think they genuinely considered them, and the fact they landed on the side of "I see the problems with Noraa" despite this, makes me think they understand the gamestate and are mindmelding a bit with me.

It's not buddying if the dude literally says "actually I think Taylor Swift's arguments have validity" which is not something I believe and does detract from my pressure on Taylor. We hold different opinions, and that's kind of why they're town.

The intent, action and manner in which they approached all of this REEKS town.

But you want to simplify it to what you've said above? Seems thin.

Can I ask what led you to this? I'm curious because it came up in the thread and it makes me question whether you've read or not.

I'm inclined to agree that Noraa's town-slip looks faked, and the meta argument for why it is scummy seems good to me.

Of course it would be impossible to force a cursed player to pass the scroll to anyone in particular, but hey ho, I still think that my points plan would be excellent, but also not interested in pushing for it further.

Jeeze you folk get busy.
UNVOTE:

The Lady needs to detangle her drawers methinks, that was some serious momentum buildup.

So, keeping it brief, it's past midnight and the discord conversations posts don't sit well with me, and neither does the list of reads this early into D1. Giving someone townpoints for meta'ing seems funky to me, like "oh! we played before! you know when I'm town!", followed by the emotional null read [how dare you use the discord against me! I will not read you now! - is how that looks to me] combined with "Oh woe is me, I'm always the wagon of choice!"...

More I read, more I dislike. Acting defensively to EVERYTHING including things which aren't aimed at her , then defending taylor from Lady's frankly freaking impressive presence at this point. I don't actually see Lady actively saying or even implying Taylor is a scumread. Maybe it's just my brain being out of whack. Noraa seems far too defensive of Taylor imo. Even defending against the jokepost.

VOTE: Noraa

the way noraa is responding to pressure is increasingly the way shed do it as scum, but its not unlike her town meta.

Pretty sure I explained in the post that I hadn't read but I had been thinking about it in sign ups. I don't think it's that unique of a thought to be honest.

nah i think its a bad wagon, but this whole time ive been saying theres probably a better than random chance noraa flips scum, just not enough of a chance that she deserved the pressure shes under. its whatever, but its kinda dumb.

Honestly with things as they are rn, scums are just gonna jump on me. Look how quick this wagon is building up. And on top of that they get a free town pass for jumping on me without even providing a reason courtesy of Mrs. LLT. I'm overly defensive as town which if you wait a few days(like 1-2 irl days), I will have solid meta on. I've done some solving but I'm definitely finding it hard to solve when people can just jump on me without actually backing anything up and that's the norm. It makes it terribly hard to solve so stop fucking doing that >:(

So in other words, it's a good wagon.

I think I understand your meaning. There is a disproportionate amount of pressure when compared to the offense committed, is that what you mean? To that I say, yes you are right, but so are most wagons on day one.

I am curious what would qualify as a good wagon to Tayl0r rn. Or if there are no good wagons, then what is stopping Noraa from being the best one out of currently available options?

Also, a question to the people discussing the mech: Did you decide it was worthwhile enough to give the final scroll pass to the scummiest player? Or should we not bother?

I understand that, in a way, we block a night kill if the final bounce is to scum. But that will require us dictating to the second chosen player who to pick, which is unfortunate. We also might learn something from who scum passes the scroll to anyway. That is why I am not sure what our best option is.
