Where/how do you think you've been proactive?

Well that was fruitful lmao

Are you talking about this game or in general

In general. I feel sheeping can be lazy and is anti-town at best and scummy at worst. I feel like if I'm voting or someone else is voting they should always give a contributive reason. Never vote because someone else voted that way.

In post 337, Quick wrote:The votes moved from FF to Flicker and who FF and Flicker are voting for.

FF might have gotten caught early and then talked his way out of things. That said, I have known him to be lynchbait, but a really good player, so I have a Null read on that dynamic of the game, however, because both Flicker and FF are voting the same person who seems to have produced a wagon out of nowhere seems pretty suspect to me.

Also, Nacy's post on this page seem to have Town tone and I know Nancy to be a pretty good Town player and they are voting for Flicker. I need to look into Stan1ey's progression and vote on Flicker more, but that is where I am at atm.

I feel like you didn't really read the thread at all and just skimmed. That's kind of scummy. Everyone knew/agreed that the wagon on FF was RVS.

In post 356, nancy wrote:Quick, read game pls thx

Don't really want to. I usually don't even replace into games with 200+ posts, so you're lucky to have me as it is.

This is horrible.....

Soo....... I feel like OKa is a bad or scum. Not sure which.

I also think Trinity is town. She's new and clunky but, I've played a few games with her and nothing seems scummy so far. I've seen her play scum and.... well you'd know.

I really want to vote quick and get quick lynched. To me only scum would come in and throw up their hands and say I'm not reading anything. Here's a vote count. Here's my reads. Don't worry those cause my reads are garbage because I didn't actually read anything. If town came in and refused to read the game they wouldn't then turn around and give reads.

I also think Oka is pushing mis-lynches. Trying to snag the easiest ones. Weird that he's not jumping on Quick as that seems the easiest to me at the moment.

I think I'm a bit lost at the moment. I've lost my town read on Nancy..... Please Nancy come back to town. I wanna believe. She seems to have just faded a bit and is just poking holes in everything. Not necessarily a bad thing but, doesn't seem like the way things started at first.

Trinity, Go take a look at some of FFs other games. His play this game seems exactly like his town play. I'll go looking for one of his scum games and compare though because I've only played with town!FF.

Quick, I'm not sure what to ask you..... Have your reads changed? Not sure if the answer is worth it.

Oka, I don't mean to restate this but, you really seem to be looking for the easiest lynches instead of looking for scum. I don't like it. Also, what do you think about quick?

FF, do you think that Oka is a better lynch then Quick and why?

Iceman lmao, I've made 135 posts, we're not even 1/4th of the way through the dayphase, I've said I'm waiting for 1-2 specific things to happen before I spew more reads, I feel good about where I'm at with the game and I'm trying to get a feel for the slots that I don't have much of a read on, I'm not sure what more you expect from me lmao

You should talk to me about your FF read in a way that isn't just meta, because meta sucks

Also your Trinity read. Please don't tell me that's also just meta or I think I might cry

They are both meta.

Hold on I'll go through and read more.

Rip.

Well any way at all that you're able to articulate the reads would be helpful I guess. Kinda feel like if I can get a handle on FF and Trinity then the game is pretty much solved, so I could use as much input as possible even if it's horrible evil meta stuff. And if you're able to talk about them in a way that isn't meta then even better. We can talk more later as well when I go over my own reads on them.

Am sleeping now, goodnight!

Twelve pages... y'all are gonna make me work for this, huh.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt with nancy's q&a session. I didn't feel like giving it to you here. I see it didn't lead anywhere, though.

In post 135, Eragon wrote:also, I hope you realize that Nancy's "reads" based off of RQS are either reaction's or light reads, not strong reads.

Did I say or imply that I thought they were strong reads? I'm pretty sure I didn't. This feels slightly condescending to me.

In post 189, nancy wrote:@Flicker would super super appreciate your thoughts on players other than OkaPoka right now.

Okay, here's what I have for now. If you want me to be more specific, feel free to ask and I will.

General town pile: nancy, IcemanCh, Formerfish, Eragon, TrinityNZ
Null/conflicted pile: stan1ey, Quick

Active, engaging everyone, generally good play and good IC work
Pointing out good info no one else is, "policy lynching the IC" is too big a gambit for scum generally
Feels like he has similar reads as me, especially feel that 347 is towny
Mostly based on 180 and general attitude, if you will
Mostly based on early weirdness (like two random votes) that feel like towny mistakes
The vote for me feels like more of a reach/"sheep the IC" thing than genuine, but I can have a hard time separating how people read me from how I read them
Hoo boy, him not reading the thread really grinds my gears, it doesn't help that he voted me based on silly VCA, otherwise I don't know how to read him

Also, I feel like Formerfish and Quick aren't scum together, based on 380.

In post 190, Eragon wrote:I know its weak but I like the fact that he is putting his opinion out there on someone(flicker) who seems like mis-lynch bait and/or noob town(sorry flicker) [...]

Don't worry about it; I know.

In post 200, nancy wrote:I don't think FF is mafia, he's hovering like a little above null for me right now, and maybe you're right and he's just town, but right now I just don't agree with your reasoning and I have some concerns with his play (which I'd sort of rather wait on talking about until he does more things).

Did you expand on this? I don't remember seeing it. If you didn't, could you?

You want to join the wagon, then? There's plenty of room.

I would like to apologize now though to you. I was talking to a friend about it and they gave me a different perspective I hadn't thought about before. I was trying not to misgender you and in doing so I accidentally did what I was trying not to. I wasn't trying to belittle your feelings and if it came across that way I apologize for that as well.

b/c i figured others would burn quick at the stake and i don't really see how what quick is doing is alignment indicative, im a pretty lazy player until things get heated.

i mean yeah quick is playing anti town but i have yet to see hard scum motivation

quick should def do some isos at the very least

has very few moments of proactive town moments, most of her posts are either fluff or reacting to other questions which is i guess is kinda normal. but the only real proactive/unique thing she has done is mark Formerfish as possible scum, but she has yet to really follow up on that and engage with formerfish. maybe if she builds a more solid case against ff and responds to some of the points ff makes in response to nancy's case and takes a more active stance in challenging FF ill move off this but for now I see this as scum who is sitting back and not wanting to heavily engage with people so the spotlight isn't on her.

Wow! Nice work. For me, that is being proactive and engaging with the game. You can throw heat on me if you want, I’m sure the real scum are loving it that the pressure is on someone else.

I’m waiting for FF to reply to me about his game playing being less aggressive than normal.

I like some of Iceman’s recent comments about Oka’s motivation. And love the ‘Nancy please come back to town’ comment.

I think you’re being a bit hard on quick though. It’s not easy coming into a game part-way through. I’ve done it on another game. He looked to me like he was trying at least.

me? hard on quick?

huh?

No not you, IcemanCh.

I am still developing reads. I probably will not get fully caught up and you saying that is Scummy is odd to me.

I sorta feel like Trinity is oblivious Town atm.

@nancy,

you asked me what tone reads were or something like that. I gave an example and you said that was NAI. In between where you answered I brought something else up where you used lmao again but I didn't TR you for it because it seemed to be something you do regularly. What do you make of that?

So if I look at just this game and ignore meta then.... I have to be honest in that I would struggle to place Trinity as town. I would put a scum lean on her either though. In isolation to this game she reads mostly neutral to me.

For FF looking at just this game I would say he's a town lean. Actively engaging, pushing people until he's satisfied, and giving clear reasoning behind his reads. This to me is town.

Adding in meta for both trinity and FF just gives them a bump into more towniness.

Is meta really that wrong to look at?

people who haven't placed their votes down yet, why?

Why is that Scummy? It's not, you've just never come across anyone who doesn't catch up as Town. In fact, it sounds like this whole read is based on the theory of what YOU would do as Town Scum instead of actually looking at why I have taken this course of action. Theory reads don't get you that far actually, and I've known Scum to use them more than Town, so...
