:/ I mean I wanted to chime in in the realtime while catching up.

I've got a two year old now so finding time to sit down and do hard work like right now is difficult. (In fact Penguin is covering kiddo time solo right now to give me this opportunity)

I get WHY you think this but also want to asset it's completely NAI if you want I can cite examples as all alignments from the past year of this occuring.

I'm not currently voting you. That may change in the future depending on wagons and your content, but I'm not going to vote you just for that. I wouldn't bother outlining availability and selection of what to respond to and would focus more on other players, but that's just me.

yes Cape, I did read your post. I am asking you WHY you got to "it must be TvS", or in other words, why did you rule out T-T?

Meuh, you worry me not because of voting me, but because of the issue with townreading everyone else, by definition even if I'm scum one of your reads is completely wrong? Are you trying to do preflip associative pairings? I believe prism went into why that's a VERY bad idea in a standard game.

Anything else? I've probably only got another ten minutes or so for the evening, but should be able to post from work tomorrow.

Ironic that posting from work is easier than home. Parenthood, it sure is a thing.

Did Prism do that? I recall her saying she didn't do preflip associations but not actually explaining why, maybe she did in another post that I missed?

I know I'm wrong somewhere else, I'm just not sure where else. I suppose lack of confidence is part of what's going on in my thought process, I tend to hit those sorts of walls when playing mafia where I just feel like I've fallen back and suddenly I don't feel like I have any grasp on what's going on and my reads are all wrong, happened around the time the whole ProHawk-Prism stuff started to happen. Big part of the reason why I just didn't post for a bit, it's demotivating and definitely something I wanna work on regarding my mentality, it's really fucked me over before, especially during my first game on MS.

I did not give a full explanation, because their value is definitely up for debate and not at all consensus. I don't do preflips largely because my individual reads tend to be bad enough without trying to extend them into chains.

Preflips are hard just because it adds more steps to mess up, first in the individual reads then second the causal links.

Usually town falls off the tightwire without any help, but if you're willing to play more boldly as scum you can intentionall play into S/S links and push town over the edge.

Also, spoiler for that just-finished game, hyperaggressive defense netted a scumread and a townread, both correct.

In post 506, Cabd wrote:Ironic that Prism reads marci-town for the same reason i'm sorta reading marci-scum, hah. Prism, you are missing a major jump in scum ability in the Isekai game, where Marci and I were partners and she held her own MUCH better.

... if u want another point of reference of my scumgame? that might fit like a bit better into what i would act like in a newbie game :shifty:

me asking asustuckey abt what they thought abt meuh and greetings reads was just me trying to get them into the game :yawn: i felt like maybe talking about reads would be a good starting point, am i wrong..?

I was thinking after I made my readslist that maybe my assumption was not true. I found Prism more scummy before I made that and the analysis I had provided.

Well I ruled out T-T for Prism's very confident seeming posts about them and their aggressive tunnels + Prism not listening to the people that were trying to say this was T-T

Marci slightly looks like town off of meta. I feel like they come off as opportunistic and awkward in their scum game and not this game.

In post 499, ProHawk wrote:No, I don't vote to piss people off, people just take offence in general to being voted has been my general experience. You voting for someone calls attention to yourself, versus being a "neutral" party and staying out of fights, etc.
I feel like more scum get mad at votes vs. town. Like town may ask about why they are being voted if it isn't clear or if they think the person pushing them is mafia or they think mafia is on the wagon etc. Or if a person in particular is tunneling hard and it doesn't seem like that person is reciprocating your defense.

Okay stream of conscious says you are at least half right.

I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

please use one of the following formats for making votes:

Code: Select all

[vote]playername[/vote]

Code: Select all

[v]playername[/v]

and do not add anything else in-between the vote tags, as that breaks the vote counter. thanks!

POE :cool:

I honestly just don't really see many realistic scum teams within the 8 slots that have been active and townread most people so I think Cabd just has to be scum here.
Main issue with this elim would be lack of info from the flip which would kinda suck, but I just don't really know where else we should elim here, none of the options really have me convinced :neutral:
Maybe Strange is still a better elim just cause it provides more info on flip and I can see that slot be scum but meh, I think mafia Cabd is
significantly
more likely than it is for anyone else

I really think Meg's town here, idk why exactly but their vibes are immaculate at the moment :lol:
I'm glad that there is someone out there who got to a similar conclusion to myself.

My attempts to get more out of
Prism
and
MegAzumarill
have been ignored. But I can't scumread either for that, given that they apparently were occupied elsewhere. Still, this doesn't let me make any progress when it comes to my personal reads and that's why my vote is where it landed this very moment.

I don't think I'm voting
ProHawk
today. I'm definitely not voting out
Prism
today.
StrangeMatter
? I'm unwilling. That's why my choice is
Cabd
, a slot which subbed in and did far less with their reads than other players, such as myself,
Meuh
,
MegAzumarill
or
Prism
. Since I can't do 1 (referencing post ), I'll do 2 with
AsuStuckey
's successor.

Cabd is coming in all kinds of buddy buddy hey guys remember this game and that let's use the history we have together to skew my reads... And if memory also serves right, he uses meta as scum to frame most arguments for mis-eliminations.

It's still dumb to me that he hasn't voted considering the time we have renaming.
