i can't explain it past that, i just know

That's some serious intuition...


Also, feel better

I personally trust reck/ut rn
maybe double check this later on

also where's lilith, she hasn't posted in >24 hours

this is a prod dodge

i am still on exile because people are complaining about how much I am posting

im glad to see baltar posting and not honoring about our agreement - confirms my view that he's a lying treacherous snake demon

I am finding Gamma to be conciliatory in a way that I did not expect, which reads to me as scummy. I'm also not liking the "I want to have the top post count in the game while I'm alive" thing because holy fucking shit if there's one thing a mafia game doesn't need it's a person trying to intentionally have more posts than everyone else. that's just policy but still. don't post just to see your avatar next to a bunch of words. that shit is obnoxious.

Pooky I find completely unreadable. basically I think later in the game if he's missed a bunch of reads he's probably scum. before then idfk.

VP I think is scummy for reasons I can't articulate, so that read is weak and useless to me at the moment.

noraa I think is probably our best bet for scum out of this pool.

I'm just gonna grab a post out of the stack because there's a whole fucking lot

In post 127, Noraa wrote:Pooky's play doesn't make sense as scum play. It's very antitown play imo but regardless, probs not scum.

Vp and I've been talking in the pt and I think he's pretty townie and if I had to gun to head, I'd say he's town.

The best lim methinks is gamma.

Here's my biggest problem with hyperposting, and especially hyperposting when there's literally no content to comment on: it's almost impossible to nail a person down on anything and the vast majority of their posts are going to be like this, where it's either repeating something they've already said or just baselessly throwing takes around. they make a bad post and then you point it out and they bury you in a bunch of bullshit and it's hard to engage with or analyze any one post because there's so many, they tend to be contradictory, and the person posting just keeps making new ones that they say explain everything but are just as bad.

"pooky's play doesn't make sense as scum" why? this is not explored or explicated. it's just stated as fact.
"it's a very anti-town play" why is it anti-town? why is it anti-town but not pro-scum? again, this is not explored or explicated. it's in contradiction to the sentence immediately preceding it, but then right after noraa say "regardless, probs not scum". why? who knows. I shouldn't need a decoder ring and five special pirate maps to puzzle out what someone is thinking in a game that's primarily based on arguing. if your reads are unclear and mysterious, it's probably because they're bad or fake.

now look, I don't really care if later on, noraa has explained this post if pushed on it because explaining bad posts is part of being scum. See what I did in that sentence? I said something was scummy, said why something was scummy, and gave a reason why a mitigating factor doesn't change my read. It's really not that hard to do when your reads are based on something other than a need to push a misyeet or not get yeeted.

anyway

Who else has some takes

I'd be willing to vote baltar out of the pool but am annoyed I have to use this dumb pool

I think fluffposting is exactly what they DON'T want from us.

In order to actually add content to this, I'm gonna post something I was saving for later.

I don't like the fact UT essentially SRs 3/4 people in the pool and shades the only one he doesn't flat out scumread, but says "I don't know why I scumread [person with probably the most solid points against them] so I can't act on that"
If one of UT/Reck is scum I'm betting it's UT

Gamma, if I was off wagon(off ur wagon) and ur wagon was at E-1, what would you say to me?

UT's post is interesting to say the least. I'll dig thru it in a bit.

with our current state of interactions I'd probably dare you to hammer me. In a neutral scenario I might ask what you're seeing in me.

a. yeah I sort of figured Gamma wouldn't be able to resist the urge to post. honestly I'm thinking I might just want to vote to policy yeet them so I'll have less to read later.
b. I find this specific behavior scummy =/= I think this slot is scum
c. I don't find pooky scummy? it'd be cool if you had anything you could quote to back that up but you don't so see point a
d. a careful reader of my post would note that I only found 1 real scumread out of the 4 slots available, so I don't know whether to chalk your response up to poor reading comprehension, a desire to lash out at anything you don't like reading, a desire to continue posting things, or some combination of the three but this is more in line with the Gamma Emerald I'm used to so now I'm leaning null rather than weirdly conciliatory

In post 224, notscience wrote:It looks like “I know you’re town but need to justify my vote here with moral outrage”

But it also looks like “this guys head is full of stuffing he’s not good to keep around”

I didn’t like Pooky asserting “I’m town bc scum wouldn’t be this reckless” either

It looks like more of the first part imo

I also think his trusting of noraa is how scum wants to play it- protecting a central "were both town" balance. If I were scum I'm a good it's how i would play it, eh bulge?

boy I am just not in a good mood today. I'm sorry I'm being a dick.

just because you can't articulate a gut scum read doesn't mean it isn't real

a. I can resist the urge but if both noraa and VP are gonna be posting then I'm not just gonna let them control the narrative.
b. okay
c. that's actually the slot I was seeing as you shading vs. scumreading.
d. Okay. change it to shading 3/4 of the slots and scumreading the last one. You're still leaving quite a few options open there.

side note to a. is that me and pooky were playing chess in the team PT but he is standing me up on his next move, so my method to curb my urge is kinda not working out rn

In post 464, notscience wrote:I also think his trusting of noraa is how scum wants to play it-

Do you think Noraa is scum?

Also, I have things to say about this line of attack on me, but I'll wait until pooky is back since he originated it.

no I think you are playing how scum would play this

WeeeeeWoooooo

Red alert

He's saying he's stopping YOU from controlling the narrative

how is that sketchy

In post 470, notscience wrote:no I think you are playing how scum would play this

Yeah, I don't know what that means.

What am I doing exactly? Because I agreed with Noraa to give her some space to prove her towniness? I fail to see the scum motivation

In post 472, notscience wrote:He's saying he's stopping YOU from controlling the narrative

Controlling narrative is exactly how I think as scum. I don't give a care what the "narrative" is as town.
