Instead Baltar's perspective is

"let's kill Pooky cuz he's an idiot"

"let's kill Pooky because even if he's town he's helping scum"

He's not even trying to find the bad guy, he's decided to autoslot Noraa as green despite having no legit reason to do so.

He's decided he wants to kill Pooky despite more or less knowing Pooky is green because Pooky isn't playing according to some arbitrary standard of goodness he's decided on.

This is scummy as hell behavior and not a town mindset at all.

This also strikes me as a representation of how many people this game are thinking.

If everyone else was townier even if only by a little bit, I'd be down with yeeting you for that super antitown play. Sure u can say it moves the game forward. But so does talking to everyone, developing SRs and TRs, and then challenging which is the optimal play.

You played poorly with that challenge and if all the options are similar and not too different in terms of scumminess, I'd yeet you for it.

this is Pooky's point about not using PTs for this stuff
@UT I'll just tell you to skim the interactions of me and noraa, it contributes literally nothing

PFFT. UT like what's this I here? Some toddlers bickering about who's the prettier pony?

*hear

I don't care how pooky wants to use your PT. I'm treating it like a neighborhood and he can whine all he wants about that.

can you at least say what you've discussed (on your end at least) about my chances of being scum?

Neighborhoods are inherently anti-town in a nightless open setup.

There is literally no excuse to hide game relevant information in a non-transparent closed area where most of the town is unable to see it.

You don't have the excuse of worrying about scum nightkilling someone for having good reads or w/e.

You don't have any softs or hidden role info to speculate about.

Most of the times when towns lose in open nightless games - such as Dance Game etc where everyone has a closed PT - is when scum successfully pocket a townie in a PT.

It also gives a scum-scum PT the excuse to say "oh we're solving in the PT" or "my partner is super town cuz of the PT"

If you re-orient your thinking and instead say - is it

A) Better that my game-relevant thought is only able to be seen by my partner and me

or

B) Better that my game-relevant thought is visible to everyone for full transparency.


99% of the time B wins over A - there are very few instances where A is better.
Using a PT to establish trust and pocket is 1000000% scum-indicative play and townies should not be engaging in such play.

There are 4 scum in this game, I don't know how they are positioned but if there are 4 T/S neighborhoods and each scum pockets their townie and bends their thinking in some hidden insidious way, the game is totally lost.

People should NOT USE THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS FOR GAME RELATED THINGS. IT IS BAAAAD

Sure, standby and I'll go get the quotes

to elaborate on pooky's last post
the only time I think reads should be kept in the PT is when they're ones that would disrupt a status quo you're not okay disrupting
this applies for ANY game with hoods, not just fully hooded games

Here is what I've said about you gamma. Most of it is about your weird lilith take.

Noraa has said she thinks pooky is town, and I can see that perspective. I said:

"I want to policy pooky because he's fucking dumb, but gamma is being way more scummy"

We kept talking it through. Noraa was worried she was gonna get yeeted because she eats a lot of D1 yeets. I said I think we should fight to make it one of you and she again expressed her town read of pooky. I said:

"Yeah, that's the annoying part. He could be town here and then it's a complete day 1 waste. That's why I said he gave D1 to scum.

"Gamma's "counter wagon" post did give me a weird scum ping though?"

okay that post was on page 4 or w/e
also I have thoughts on that but it's not practical to state them just now, if someone else wants to hear it I'll talk about it with them.

Noraa has said more about gamma scum, but I'm not going to post her messages

No shit I was offended.

I don't think I said you were a bad PLAYER, at least in betrayal. I said your PLAY looked bad, yes. And in mini 2170, while I may have said that, I also said I believed you could improve.

Great ok. Thats where I started disliking your play.
I'm not engaging you anymore cuz I see this as you trying hard to 1v1 me knowing that I almost always succeed to be day 1 limbait.

I'm NOT trying to 1v1 you, I think you're town for fuck's sake!
VOTE: Gamma Emerald
Whatever, I'll just do this so you can figure out sooner that I'm not scum and I'm actually fucking genuine here.

In post 283, Noraa wrote:The only compromise I'm willing to take today is Pooky.

Everything Gamma does is scummy in my eyes but I certainly have bias and am salty about many things he decided to say.

The only compromise is Pooky who I see as a most likely town but extremely antitown player. I can see many ways where he can fuck town up by instachallenging every day regardless of his actual alignment.

a PL really?

I was joking earlier but Reck might actually be scum here
The more I think about it the more I dislike him complaining about non-existent spam, seems like an excuse for him to not play

I skimmed most of the last five pages too much bullshit not enough scumhunting

In post 365, SirCakez wrote:a PL really?

No. I think VP is town and he is a green monkey, on my team. I certainly prefer gamma and Pooky over him.

I prefer gamma and my only compromise would be pooky.

Dunno why you can't understand why and think misrepping me is a better idea but eh whatever.

In post 365, SirCakez wrote:non-existent spam

I agree with your general point that complaining about spam is unhelpful, but it certainly exists in this game....you did call the last five pages bullshit (which I mostly agree with).

Can you explain the difference ?

His thought process is towny and I follow along quite easily.
Much townier than gamma or you for that matter.

He isn't throwing around AtE unlike you two.
