it's a different game. I think the relatively similar is fine. I disagree that the tonally different means different alignment, however

I'm not moving from Alisae today, really. I'd hop on a Morph wagon, but that's better for a future day.

literally every single other little piece of reasoning is just sprinkles and additionals.
The momentum swinging time of the Alisae vote on me when Bulge was coming after me is a scum motivated action, through and through.

they also started pushing me with an explanation they used for my town meta, which means they were going for a misfade, not a scum kill.

random note: i think beeboy absolutely hates being scum and likes being town
and i don't believe '100 pages' is the reason he's not participating yet, or that he just joined to be a voice in mariar's head if they're town

why would they have joined then? Idk, i'm pretty pro town Maria right now.In post 3255, zMuffinMan wrote:random note: i think beeboy absolutely hates being scum and likes being town

if anything that makes me think Beeboy slot is for sure town, or why would Maria have them come in? I feel like Maria was probably feeling alone because they havent been here as often as others, to be fair, we're going fast, so they brought beeboy. I dont think they necessarily would do that if they were scum, if that makes sense.

i could make guesses about why beeboy joined but they'd be just that - guesses
doesn't matter anyway, i think it's gonna become more and more obvious over time

there's zero town content from the posts in that slot though (both after and prior to the replacement)
the closest i can see to town content is the attitude of "id like to see you try" when fferycabd suggested they'd vote mariaboy, but even then, meh

i think you might be doing the thing i have done sometimes in the past where i constructed a narrative in my head and pieces fell into place in such a way that the narrative i constructed may be correct but uh... it turned out just to be coincidenceIn post 3236, April Ludgate wrote:It was way back, Bulge was coming at me, and Alisae used the time to make an extremely opportunistic potentially momentum swinging vote onto me, and outed themselves, essentially, then they tried to switch momentum away from me because they realize it wasn't gonna happen
same goes for the whole predicting fferycabd would vote then unvote stuff
actually happened to me just recently in that dance game with predicting something gentleman 2 was going to do but the conclusion was ultimately incorrect
*shrug*
not saying you necessarily are incorrect here (even though i currently think that's the case), but it's easy to fall into the trap of things happening as you think they're going to happen meaning you're correct about why it actually happened

At the moment, there’s nothing that’s been said that’s convincing enough for me to believe my reads aren’t the ones that are correct. Flips will help that.
I have solved many games over the years.

On the other hand like his reasons are mostly "i thought x was towny/scummy and therefore they go up/down" and that just seems like a really easy way to just apply any reasoning to a slot that you want to.
But not agreeing on a read? I don't think we were on the same page early game w/ ST either -- why is that different?
I also don't really get the minimegabyte angle you were taking -- cabd knows exactly why I was scumreading that slot and I don't think it's at all relevant to this game so I was a little confused as to what you were even trying to ask me, which is the only interaction you and I really have had on this slot.

pretty spot on with how im feeling morph. If I was scum I'd jump into the townblock in a heartbeat for reasons stated earlier; I don't buy April's idea that scum are easy to catch in a townblock. I'm also a little in the dark on the super developed meta stuff people have on each other, so I'm mainly choosing to look at meta less so I can be a second opinion on some of those slots that have been sorted due to meta, with the only slots im looking at meta on at all is somewhat bulge and bell, but on both of those I'm moreso seeing meta as a sidedish.In post 3078, morph the cat wrote:I can't really talk to Cabd's minimegabyte stuff, other than it's based on why HE gave minimeg some wiggle room as a player in the game and wanting to see if you thought he might be falling into the same error (I think.

Plusjoy's stances aren't super developed or nuanced. And his current style is coming out more and more as the game progresses. He's being townread by different cohorts in the game, not just single players but these townblocs that are swimming around in the thread. That's an enviable position for a scum player, though possibly scary to a new-ish on, and yet he's pushing it away in terms of cooperating with townreads. I feel like that comes from a town place in a newer player playing what's got to be a complicated game on a social level. It's complicated to me, and I revel in the player list for the most part.
I didn't really expect anyone to get the ST stuff because it's so buried in how notsci and I have interacted over a number of games in the becoming-distant past. What bothered me is not the kind of data that I think you use as data in games. I know zmuffin doesn't. The read has improved dramatically, based on notsci's posting since then. It will be interesting to see where our meta-trajectories go from this game onward.

i was thinking about this off and on and what it means for claiming
i was thinking about this off and on and what it means for claiming
so if mafia have fake rolepms to use, I'm not sure just claiming vt raw would make sense as scum unless it's wifom. I don't know how good the flavor is on the provided fakeclaims, but I'm assuming that since they are most likely written by the same guy who did the initial rolepms, they'd probably be pretty good to use. And if they are strong, I'd think that it'd make most sense for mafia to post as much of the fakeclaim as they can for towncred.Mafia Members may make the factional nightkill in addition to any active abilities they have. Mafia Members have pre-written fakeclaims AND I will fabricate additional fakeclaims upon request. That being said, don't quote role PMs; paraphrasing is fine, don't quote, quoting makes my life harder and bullshitting much more difficult.

Alisae implied they wouldn’t claim a power role earlier if they had flipped on that position I would have been screaming from the rooftops to get them eliminated.
As for whether I believe the vanilla claim. The answer is in the frosting.
It wasn’t very good cake.
