You most likely want a 1v1 to shit up the thread, and because it gives you another shot at me that scum bungled yesterday. I think it is also highly likely you're worried about a scum PR getting limmed and you're probably a goon. I don't generally do things scum ask me to do.

If town wants to go down this road, I will, but I think frogster is more likely to be a scum PR.

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

One thing I said I'd talk about is the strategy of ko. The rules purpose was to avoid infinite loops, but to get to take a ko back you need to find moves that threaten a bigger point swing then whatever losing the ko is worth.


Image
In this simplified example white threatens capturing the three stones to force black to respond, letting white take the ko back.




Official Votecount 3.4Eyes without a face (4): Cape90, tenebrousluminary, Titus, VP Baltar

Titus (1): fireisredsir

VP Baltar (1): Nero Cain
April Ludgate (1): Save The Dragons

With 15 players alive, it takes 8 votes to achieve an elimination.

It is likely annoying that I come with "no"s and few "yes"es, but:

I think Enchant is not mafia because his claimed targets don't look planned by a team that is paying attention. If he is a serial killer I do not care right now.

The Yeet night kill does not make anyone he was townreading look good. He was clearly killed for his role.

you think that scum are me and frog but you are going after neither of us. I know that you did add eyes to your latest list but thats only b/c his wagon popped up. Your "scumreads" are me, frog and STD and you aren't trying hard to get any of us.

Lemme just get this cleared up, so you understand your place: you are not pooky. You aren't as good at this game as pooky. You can't provoke people like pooky. And you aren't going to get me riled up in a shit post fest. So stop trying to be the dollar general version of pooky.

You've been trying all game, and it's the weakest play I've seen in a long time. I'd rather you just stop clogging the thread with trash posts if this is the best you can do.

i don't have time to wallpost rn, maybe later, but it's mostly about the way you were positioning yourself yesterday. and i think you played up the ignorance of gamestate a little too much. also datisi had a few things that i felt were pretty... off, even tho i was charmed into townreading him as i KNEW would happen
Fair on Datisi. Nothing I can do on that. Datisi is pretty charismatic.

The likely reason people aren't joining on your theory of me being ignorant of the state d1 is that is because it is who I am. I don't read and I don't know unless I am scum.

You aren't scumhunting. Stated already, you aren't putting your vote out there.

What we know is you have gone after town, then backed off and try to shade people on the wagon.

You camp a vote on me because it is a safe space for you. I gave you a chance to flip me yesterday and look like shit. You couldn't even get that to happen when I was showing you my belly.

Why are you so ineffective at getting a wagon over if you're so town?

I've pointed out plenty of scummy behavior by you around the galron-yeet stuff and you have literally no response to it.

You're not taking any risks, so of course you have little to no dirt on your hands. You aren't pushing any lims for real.

You haven't expressed any suspicion of VP at all. Balter has been calling me scum since d1 but he's afraid to push anything that he actually has to push.

It doesn't make me misinformed. It forces people to explain the gamestate and their votes. It creates reflection that's harder to do when people suppose I have a preformed opinion.

I'm a big fan of the Socratic method and other questioning of cases and highlighting things. The very questions can be used as evidence of an agenda. Everyone has an agenda. The question is, is that agenda town or scum.

This is a good point by Titus I think. Scum had to shoot yeet for fear of getting caught. If Galron was scum, that probably doesn't happen. Or at least is less likely to happen.
That’s a horrible point by Titus.

Yeet kill is wine because PR.

If Galron is scum as I suspect then you have the fake “clear” to protect him

As he follows his scum meta and still doesn’t post

I'm in the same boat as you that I can't really get sway toward my solve, but you can't burn every bridge and just insist you're right because you are a mason.

If you want to have an honest conversation, I'm here, but I will largely ignore you if this is going to be your approach to the game. There have been several listed reasons why galron is more likely town than scum. There have been stated reasons why I'm more likely town than scum. Yeet and HEM, two confirmed towns, both seemed to be town reading me at their time of death, further making it unlikely someone like me would want them dead.

Try to work with people here please. I don't think your solve or plan to get there is anywhere remotely near correct.
I am trying to work with people

A solve you don’t understand isn’t “harebrained”

This is exactly the problem I am talking about

In order to have an honest conversation you have to not be framing everything negatively.

HEM was NOT TRing you a fact I said several times

I was and HEM convinced me otherwise

Alright. Felt fake isn't really something I can engage on. I'm not a fan of gut and tone reads as I can't easily show where you're wrong. Gut/tone reads do exist and I have engaged on them from time to time. That combined with your paranoia of Datisi creates some rationale for you suspecting me as scum.

What I need to do is verify you have that stated paranoia. My minimal concern on you as that if I were scum, I'd open FoSing those who had correct reads. So that meant you would be scum protecting eyes and Scorpious. It's not a large one and contingent on my other reads being correct. I'm townreading you otherwise but I figured it best to engage you.
