hanging out

idunno maybe we just need to hang out again sometime when this stupid fucking plague goes away.

idc if I die d1 in this playerlist
its still like super fun

Sounds good. You're like what, 20 minutes away from me?

I'm sure flippyNips would be down.

I haven't done that since 2019 holy shit.

I don't think so.

If all of {Spiffeh, DEB, Dunn, Toogeloo} end up dead, I legit think the game is a town win so the order and method isn't important to me.

hanging out with people is some 2019 shit

Also, anime needs to stop going weekly with no breaks.

Nobody fucks with the filler or anime cannon, especially not in 2020.

Alisae just wants to kill Dunn and i'm fine with it.

It doesn't even have that much to do with DEB's guilty, Dunn has always been scummy.

I think Bell's a stronger scum player than you are giving them credit here. Also, the bans probably play a big role in who Flavor Leaf picks.

In post 5220, Double the Trouble wrote:- 1485 is actually really interesting positioning considering creature was kinda lhf at the time but no one really talked about it. If he was scum, I doubt he comes out with this read on the player. You could argue that his progression on creature is like weird but like idunno

Toogeloo's read on Creature in that post is a "Flavor Leaf wouldn't draft Creature"-read. I don't see how you find that weird positioning or a weird progression.

In post 5220, Double the Trouble wrote:- 3610 is some conspiracy shit that doesn't come from scum lol

Uh no. If Toogeloo is scum, then Toogeloo probably sees that the writing is on the wall. They would need to find new people outside the established pools (i.e.: DEB, Dunn, Spiffeh) to give pressure in the hopes of surviving.

In post 5220, Double the Trouble wrote:- not knowing how mechanics works is a towntell and this is shown in the fact he doesn't know anything about the fact that FL can suggest 2 "rules"

This can be faked. Note that I am not commenting on whether Toogeloo's lack of awareness is fake or not.

In post 5223, Double the Trouble wrote:The reason why I'm so hooked on this {Spiffeh, Dunn, Polar Bears} solve is like
the slots just refuse to scumread each other and it seems like they're just supporting each other like how teammates would like.

If true, this is a pretty good point actually. I'll have to look into it.

In post 5227, Dunnstral wrote:3 masons + vig is 4 confirmed town

We should have never trusted an investigative claim

It's a 17p setup, and we have no idea what scum has. Well, I guess it's reasonable to suppose that scum don't have a roleblocker. 3 masons in a 13p mini normal is considered close to balanced.

I guess the detective claim looks worse when we consider pichu's role, but again, we don't know what powers scum has. Furthermore, pichu's role was rather gated and only able to get guilties on a very specific kind of scum. If we suppose the mafia team isn't all goons (which is a reasonable assumption in my opinion), it's probably on the weaker side; probably around tracker level of power.

Also, this is 100% a conspiracy theory, but we don't even know if the vig is town. Scum vigs are unusual, but it's not impossible especially when scum can choose their roles.

In post 5235, Double the Trouble wrote:I think vig pool should be
{DEB, Polar Bears, Spiffeh, Toogeloo}

I think DEB should be shot if and only if Dunnstral flips town. While it's possible it's scum-scum, I think it's not super likely as it's a really risky move. I'm fine with saving DEB as the last scum if we must; DEB will still have to fake Detective results. Hmmm... That's another possibility. If the vig is town (which is likely), then DEB could be true claiming Detective here (as scum). Scum could use a detective to try to find the vig.

In post 5253, Polar Bear Express wrote:So, tell me why I should even bother to try to solve the game when you’re ignoring my posts and are hellbent on miseliming us?

Because if you are solving, your slot will naturally come across as town? Like, solving seems a win-win situation to me: 1) you are less likely to get limmed and 2) you are more likely to help advance town's win con by finding scum. Also, Double the Trouble and some of the suspects are the only ones scum reading you. The majority is town reading your slot. You should solve for the rest of us even if Double ignores you.

In post 5278, mastina wrote:I can see FL picking Toogeloo for specifically that reason; he has this tendency to slip through the radar, be written off, be ignored, be invisible, the entire game, in spite of not doing much of anything. That's a valuable player to have on your scumteam.

I agree strongly with this take (note: I don't have the meta experience to verify the claim, but the rest of it is what I agree strongly with), and I think it matches Toogeloo's play this game. They have constantly been floated as possible scum, but it wasn't until recently where they have received more direct pressure. Part of that is that they seem to lack a commanding presence, so when they post, they naturally just slip by past people and garner little attention.

In post 5280, Double the Trouble wrote:FL picked Toogeloo to slip through the radar, be written off and ignored, and be invisible, yet he's anything but that? And yet he can be elimination bait but he's not?

Toogeloo has done precisely that Day 1 and Day 2. It's not a nonsensical take; they have garnered very little attention aside from being a predominantly PoE read for many players, the kind of read people don't pay much attention to.

At bottom of page 212.

3 masons in a 13p game

3 masons, a vig, a cop, and a detective in a 17p game?

That's not the setup, actually:

Strong-willed Simple Disloyal Vanilla Cop
Roaming Doctor
Informed townie
3 masons
Vigilante
Detective

And you think the mafia team is all goons?

In post 5390, Ircher wrote:Well, I guess it's reasonable to suppose that scum don't have a roleblocker.

The cop is strong-willed, I assume the opposite

Oh and Supersaint Enabler...

Alright so you don't think it's all goons.
Still, thinking DEB's role can exist at all is mind boggling at this point

I kinda see Gloria's point. Like the mass claim really killed the game's momentum, and it's kinda amazing we have recovered from it as well as we have. I do agree that Gloria's behavior is rather antitown, but I can sort of see why Gloria feels demotivated in the current game state.

I know spiffeh planted a few of those seeds.
noraa planted them.

Do you have quotes or post numbers to back this assertion up?

In post 5326, Double the Trouble wrote:Like

that's just a red flag

Red flags are valid, but they are simply that--flags, not conclusive evidence. I haven't seen much from Toogeloo that would dissuade me from my current position.

In post 5332, Dunnstral wrote:Ircher could be scum hidden in the townies

Doesn't he have a good grasp of setup balance? How is he ok with the implication of 3 masons, a cop, a vigilante, and a detective?

I have a generally good sense, yes, but my specialty is more minis and micros. Anyway, there are a bunch of unknowns here still since we don't know what scum have. Also, I forgot about the doctor. That changes things somewhat. The cop as I already mentioned is heavily gated. The vig is potentially one-shot, so it may be only a middling PR here. I do think something like 3 masons + Heavily Gated Cop + Roaming Doc + Odd Night Vig + Supersaint Enabler vs. Mafia Detective + 2nd Mafia Investigative + 2x Mafia Goons might seem balanced, but again, it's hard to tell in a setup where scum chose their roles. (I will mention once more though that I forgot about the doc flip when evaluating the setup's balance; that does make it rather more likely DEB is scum here. Without the doc, I think it's perfectly plausible that DEB is town.) Also, 6 or 7 town PRs in a 17p large doesn't seem very unusual. The masons here are of course the bulk of the setup's power, and as I commented before, 3 masons in a 13p normal (which doesn't need as much town power as 13-4) is relatively balanced, probably a bit on the scum side.

I was thinking more along the lines of DEB getting a result last night. I guess that's a bad assumption.

Also, limming you remains the superior mechanical play here, even if setup spec points the other direction.

At the bottom of 5395.

No, the best play is to lim toogeloo and then shoot DEB

You brought up a good point that Pichu was strong willed but DEB is claiming a result anyway.
