i'm just gonna claim

i'm vt - i assumed andante would go for ascetic cop (especially if she was town, and probably if she was scum as well given the last round), so i went for jk, which is how i know she's that bracket, and not vig or lying or anything else, and why mechanically the vig has to be in {catboi / mena / dats}

my assumption was very much mistaken, obviously, but i do think that she's still town

we should probably finish massclaim, tho i don't think it's going to be particularly helpful

It's also notable I think because from a mechanical perspective, I think the kill points to scum being afraid that midway would be mechanically cleared today and no longer a viable mis-elim. WWhich I think is a pretty good indicator that Andante is town.

But it's also notable in that it shows that scum are absolutely not concerned whatsoever with the possibility of the ascetic cop getting a guilty. And that's a pretty significant thing - my last 3 losses as scum have all been because of me getting mechanically guiltied or POE'd. A cop outing with a guilty or multiple innocents at this stage of the game is potentially game-breaking. But scum very obviously weren't cop hunting with that kill, which means the ascetic cop draft slot is most likely in the hands of scum. And there's really only one person who realistically can have that role. And it's skitter.

i just need to point out how *silly* it would be of me as scum to give a plan that would conftown midway and then kill him because i was scared of conftowning him when i could just, like, not do that and/or flip him ... ?

i think that ascetic cop is either not in the game or scum have it, same with the n3 vig. i think we're basically out of pr's and not gonna be getting much help from them

fwiw if ascetic cop in the game it's probably in the very bottom slots

you could still be a scum vig lying about your pick. i'm too tired to think about how likely it actually is, but the above is untrue from everyone's pov except yours

yes, from my pov, but i figured that was obvious
but incidentally it is also mechanically true

mena maf... can we just vote mena?

has mena claimed yet?

In post 4654, catboi wrote:But, further, the entire point of that dive was for me to try to justify my association hunting. Your slot was already flipped in that game. I did not catch you based off anything in that. The only reason I even did catch you was because you claimed scum to my face by trying to get me eliminated when you couldn't justify it, and even then I nearly secondf-guessed on it, because the only justification I had was OMGUS. It was hardly a read where I had actual meaningful insight


But your implication here is that if I am town (from your POV), I should be townreading you here and the difference should be clear to me, and I absolutely do not believe that you believe that. It erads more as an attempt to belittle me and try to make me second-guess my view of you and I am absolutely not going to let that happen.

first paragraph: fair enuf, i'll stop bringing it up
second paragraph: i think that there are some p clear differences between this and my scumgame, namely:
- i would have ran out of energy nineteen billion years ago as scum: this game is so long, and so ~dragging~ ... even if i were in a winning position i would have a hard time to keep trying to move things along
- similarly/related, scum-me literally doesn't try to make the game moving. scum-me doesn't try to prod people into activity. scum-me isnt' annoyed that nobody is posting for two whole dayphases. scum-me is very much fine that the game is slow. scum-me is very, very, very happy i don't have to continue posting and that the game is going fantastic from scum's pov without me even doing this much. i don't post nearly this much as scum, especially not in a game where scum is winning and scum doesn't *need* me to post as much
- scum-me doesn't care abt prodding people in an eod deadline scramble 2x
- i am flabbergasted why scum-me would propose a plan to conf midway and then just kill him
- scum me actaully probably has some idea as to who to she wants to flip today instead of just going around in circles becuase the game is confusing
- scum-me doesn't start off a hunt for a scum-vig well before anybody else does (and certainly doesn't if it's me ...?)

there's probably more to this that i'll think of as i think about this game
but the first two points are basically how to read me ... the fact that i still have energy and still *care* about trying to win this is not indicative of scum-me at all

this was a very clever soft referencing my previous stance on vigilante as a role, which I have expressed in a recent dead PT of a completed game - as well as the latter claiming "it is ok" meaning the role was not obtained.

you weren't very subtle, i had you claiming to try for the vig slot a few posts after this one basically
(hence starting my vig-hunt ...)

In post 4667, Datisi wrote:the pick makes sense from town!nsg's point of view. so options are that either kaiji is town and telling the truth, or they repped in, saw they were scum, zoomed through the scum pt to read about nsg saying how she'd pick vig as town (i'm assuming that's what'd be happening in the scum pt) and then decided to soft about that knowing it'd fit her play profile - at the time when it was arguably unnecessary because the wagon had already gone down.

At the very least if the vig is scum he absolutely isnt

that's basically the reasoning for this

i think we might as well finish the massclaim fully

also dats, ty for 4644 ... it was very helpful and i do think you're being kinda townie in that sense tbh

~
i think i'm looking at like ... catboi, mena, alyssa, maybe ss ?
i don't think andante, kaiji, or dats are scum

i think if andante is scum it opens up more worlds for possible scumteams but im also having a hard time wrapping my head around andante-scum

i started thinking of mena/s_s/alyssa before i remembered that flow and s_s picked the same number and i want to commit die

my next idea is skitter and catboi as partners which might be a sign it's bed time for me

>.>

is it bad that i'm just clearing andante? i really don't see her as scum tho ... >.>

i think if there's an ascetic cop it's at the bottom and someone just went for a hail mary and figured might as well try for it and see if nobody has it

why the fuck isn't mena here so i can just read him then sheep his skitter read, that went great last time i did it

idk if he even has a read on me ... >.>

i just had a Realization - it's not relevant to this discussion and it's anti-town to out it if i'm right but just putting this out there as a reminder for myself later

back to relevant stuff, i can't decide whether to be like "oh cool skitt sees what i'm saying about myself" or "there's more lhf things to push"

like, i went from "no reason to be townread" to not being scum just with that post?

more like i think u have a valid point in that i don't think you play this way as scum
but i'm also, like, vacillating a lot and keep changing my mind, i suppose we'll see what i think tomorrow

I'm stupid in the brain parts

prodding menalque & mare

i think we should be limming in andante/skitter here because

scum chose multitasking

they got roles

scum dont think 50 steps ahead like this.. they wanted to be able to use their roles


UNVOTE:

that being said voting the bottom draft pick is the lowest chance of hitting but i think on a dayplay level SS is scummy still.

im likely going to wait till either mena posts or is replaced to push forward more i dont want to do anything until we get anything from that slot
