I want to hear your thoughts on more players BugSpray. Help me out?

Basically I don't have any practical experience with lots of the slots and it's hard to read newbs because you can tell what posts of theirs are ai but figuring out which alignment they are is difficult

I am bug spray. If you look at my avatar you will see that it is spraying bugs. If bugs are eating a townie and they aren't mine then I would be forced to basically beat the shit out of the townie by swatting all of the bugs on them which is a pretty scary idea.

Going to look at the npom partner equities because I feel like there was two or three people other then npom saying "no please get off the wagon" and it can be easily that one of them was town and the other two/1 exist as partners

Looking at partner equities on D1...that’s a good way to look busy without doing anything meaningful.

This is so far from Bugs’ Town game, and Bugs knows I know it.

npim here is reminding me increasingly of town!formerfish

I’ve hard townread you every time you’ve been Town, including in the game I was scum, because when you’re Town you’re obviously Town. The only time I’ve previously SR you was when you were indeed scum, and you played in the same way you’re doing here.

And note that 462 is the only time Bugs has mentioned Lunar at all this game, and it’s to make a light defence of them.

Consider Bugs’ position here; Lunar’s wagon is competing with their own, and yet Bugs seems reluctant to even acknowledge it despite seemingly having doubts over NPOM being scum. This suggests some agenda; the two that make the most sense being 1) they are partners, 2) Bugs doesn’t want to turn a friend into a foe. I’m leaning towards the former possibility.

In post 340, bugspray wrote:I read one of Amélie's posts and just sort of found it concerning at face value but it reads a lot like newb!town

I just realised you avoided my question about this.

What post of Amelie’s are you talking about here?

I think the above quote about Amelie was Bugs’ way of paving their exit from that wagon. It was an opinion that had already been stated by others, and I feel as though if Bugs were genuine they would have just quoted the post they were talking about, given how apparently significant it was in changing their read on Amelie. It just feels fabricated, but we’ll see what Bugs has to say about it.

Bugs hadn’t said anything negative about NPOM at this point, but when the NPOM wagon gained momentum my immediate thought was ‘it’s only a matter of time before Bugs jumps on this’, and sure enough:

this is a blatant misrep I've had plenty of things to say about her I'm even on her wagon although taking a closer look even if she's saying nonsense I don't see it coming from newb!scum in terms of the apparent effort
VOTE: npom
Also the way you quoted gamma's post about how Amélie is jealous of the townbloc and scum is trying to push it's way in seems to me a lot like scum projecting from insure the "townbloc" in order to not be suspected

The first point is so weak that it looks just like an excuse to hop on the wagon. Even if NPOM wasn’t quite correct in what he said, it doesn’t make him scum; why not consider he might have simply been mistaken?

The second part is also weak because it’s baseless. It’s a possibility Bugs could be right, perhaps, but there’s literally nothing to say that’s the case. It’s just as possible NPOM is correct in saying Amelie is jealous of the townbloc. Scum would at least have a clear motive in undermining a townbloc, if it’s pure.

Not only that, but Bugs then realized they were wrong and NPOM didn’t actually quote Gamma’s point about Amelie and the townbloc, and yet they just are like ‘I misremembered but....that’s four votes now’.

A big part of your foundation for SR’ing NPOM was based on a misremembering, so surely the natural thing to do here would be to step back and reassess?

I think this is a good evaluation of the idea behind it, at least for the short term “reading people directly off of responses” tactic

Btw about the activity read discussion, I think any scumteam worth their salt would have someone trying to get their foot in the door if the {Gamma, Grendel, Galron, NPOM, frogster} set is all-town
Amelie’s attack on the block kinda feels that way.

In post 211, NoPowerOverMe wrote:Another good reason to town block active players is that if one of them is night killed then that would give credence that most of them are town.

In effect it limits scums options

Huh looks like I misremembered him quoting this gamma post but

In post 406, bugspray wrote:My vote puts npom at 4 votes

Also, why isn’t Bugs suspecting Gamma for the same reasoning? They mistakenly SR NPOM for quoting Gamma’s point about Amelie possibly trying to get their foot in the door of the townbloc, so why would you not suspect Gamma for actually making the point?

I’m surprised you don’t think the intensity of the NPOM wagon could be due to the fact that scum have been heavily wagoned themselves. To me it looks like a deliberate counter-wagon.

I quoted the wrong thing. But see the momrangal quote inside. It is really nasty if you ask me.

Trendall is doing the same thing, but is being smarter about it. He hasn't actually done anything worth of anything until most recently when people started giving him attention.

Lunar and bugs just don't seem to care, their play is unchanged, unaffected no matter how much people are suspecting them. How they are playing seems NAI, I would be more interested in the person who is actually being reactive to things

Ifs and buts. These votes aren’t magically going to happen; I could make the same case that most of these players have expressed doubts about either Bugs/Lunar, who are both a lot closer to elimination.

Bugs and Lunar are playing NAI and as far as bugs goes, I'm seeing two different meta reports on him which make me further beleive his play here is NAI. OWER is scum here, and I think he is playing opportunistically. He's playing with IIOA, and not only is he not contributing to the game state (still) his only interest in the gsme seems to be throwing shade and pretending to sort people by asking people why they scum read him.

I agree with this, but I'm curious to why you think trendall isn't getting lynched. There are multiple people who have expressed that slot being likely scum and next to OWER.

There are also multiple slots expressing concern over OWER, but instead the consensus seems to be nerfing the loudest voice in the game. I'm not joining the NPOM wagon, and I could drop a vote on either but I would much rather drop scum over town.

We have a few popular wagons, it’s time for people to make meaningful decisions. There’s no point sitting on a Trendall wagon that’s never going going anywhere, unless you or Grendel feel like really going to work on it which doesn’t seem forthcoming. Just because we have 6 days doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have a sense of urgency about what we’re doing.

This is also a fair point.

I don't see play that could be NAI as meaningful though
