I like Puppy’s questionnaire entrance to the mod. I like that he reached the conclusion that fighting is better for us (and found it to be very poetic!). I like Puppy’s “this is town af x2” comments to Tanner. Still generally tone towning on Puppy as i read through (such as
239 242 and so on).
45 is very good by catboi (wanting to hold off and see who would try to get us to spare before sharing analysis).
67 reveals a little nuance that maybe we wouldn’t have talked about if catboi didn’t bring it up, that a spare in 3v2 Xylo is good.
370 - Yes to Pooky/Lavender having a decent chance. I think catboi saying taylor is too antagonistic for scum is a fair enough point but I don’t think i share it. Hm, it’s tough. I think he’s arguing that in good faith
Don’t know what to make of Pooky so far. I think his strategy is wrong but if he’s scum here I don’t think he realistically thinks he has a chance of persuading the players using facts and logic whereas he’s doing *feelings*. It could be a facade so he doesn’t have to play, but if that is so, I don’t think it’s a wise one for pooky!scum. I almost want to think it’s genuine (
212).
243 is a fair post from town!Pooky if he’s seriously trying to go through with his sparing strategy -- wouldn’t want the nightkills to ruin it. But also gives him an excuse not to post game-related content sooo.
Again though Chara is right (
359) that we shouldn’t narrow our focus to make it harder for scum to NK, they’ll be able to figure out decent kills probably anyway and our cooperation will be hurt severely. I still don’t know if Pooky is being genuine here. It’s a somewhat easy facade to hide behind, he doesn’t have to give reads or anything!
I forgot to write stuff on Prism up til
263 somehow but i think i touched on him in thread already. 263 again I objectively think taylor comes off scummy, he gives her points she should be talking about but isn’t. It’’s a good post.
344 feels extremely genuine to me *i think*. Something about it
Sort of slightly want to townread Tanner for the pocketing comments but I love being paranoid of pocketing as scum personally. Hm hm hm!
I just spent a good 30 seconds staring at
226 by Tanner. I sort of like it but also sort of don’t. 3/4 of his lines have a really noncommittal tone “even though i think i shouldn't be giving townpoints for
146, i still kinda do?” , “i'm lowkey feeling nervous (abt Pooky) due to the push for spares”, and “puppy is feeling different than he did in that game, so guess i'm townreading him!”. I’m not sure if this means anything or not for Tanner but I’m keeping an eye on it.
I made a post that sort of just mirrored consensus townreads for the most part, and Tanner TR me off it since our reads were similar. I do feel like that’s not enough to townread me but I am unsure if that’s towny that Tanner is quick to townread me, or if it’s not. Ugh -- I think I like Tanner
I think I objectively agree with Tanner HURTing taylor after her “ill play when you all start.” post. If taylor is town here though i probably don’t award nearly as many points -- I think she’s objectively scummy there, an easily justifiable vote for both sides.
347 - I think taylor/Pooky/lavender is a viable scumteam but it’s also probably way too easy. I still agree with the idea here though (He words it as a “what if, unless?”)
I can relate to calling something towny but then when asked to explain it, having no reason whatsoever (chara
77). I’m probably more likely to ensure I have reasoning as scum but that’s just personal experience. 126 is objectively correct by Chara I talked about it somewhere else why i like it.
297 is a really smart post if Chara is scum. It comes off as really towny don’t it. (Hectic points this out).
Think Chara was probably more correct than I was about my catboi townread-- i do like that it went out of its way to engage with me on a read that it already shared with me anyway
I agree with Chara that Prism is probably oversuspecting Hectic so far.
HECTIC. I think he has somewhat decent-looking reasons for wanting to take the spare route, but when you take everything into account, it’s a worse route. Most of the points look good (#
80) although actually the 5th point is a little forced. I think in the pacifism route, if we spare 4 and game doesn’t end, we are in super dire straits. I feel like Hectic downplays how screwed we are in that scenario but again I’m not sure if that’s forcing the spare route on us or just really wantinfg to do the spare route and focusing on all the bright sides.
Hectic’s #
94 ignores that if we screw up 3 fights in a row, we’re probably not going to attempt a 4th fight (##IMPORTANT: Am I understanding the strategy right here?). Yes, we lose if we fail 4 fights, but we don’t lose if we do 3 misfights and then correctly spare.
I think Hectic’s point on Prism!town in
190 is good. There are a lot of points in my notes where I'm copying Hectic's townreads for people, either after the fact or he points out something i noticed as well (like that Chara post Elements finds scummy just above)
118 is super bold by scum!Elements (he suggests we spare Elements, hectic, and Pooky). Hm.
I relate heavily to redtea so far this game but I do not assign townpoints from the opening probably NAI. I think their response to my confusion on Elements was probably the correct side of that debate. I think they are correct in that Pooky’s nomination scheme won’t work well.
Think i lean town on their contributions on page 16
Taylor is sort of going for the “I don’t care about the mech talk call me later”, I am unsure as to whether it’s genuine or scum dodging having to participate. I feel like i’ve seen this sort of unwillingness to play act from scum before but i can’t quite remember where.
Lavender no opinion on. I have looked at Crossfire which has town them in it, I noticed they almost got eliminated early but didn’t. They seemed to have difficulty getting into it, so probably NAI at least.
291 they ask for us to not expect too much and say “Baddie lavender doesn’t exist”. Nothing making me feel particularly better about them yet
