She's absolutely a monster if she replaces into a game that has flips to work with because she's relentless but I can see her getting confused in a large theme that moves along fairly quickly. She hasn't done anything that makes me think she's town but I tend to give her a longer leash than most because like if she's town then she will be pretty useful later and if she's bad she'll be like obviously bad.

plz tell me what is wrong with my characterization or what the town motivation is
Lol, Greeting can certainly townread you for it. Just wasn't your idea. Credit where it's due.
Maybe you came to the conclusion independently, idk. Just saying you definitely weren't the first person to bring it up. I think greeting is more town than you, so I'd prefer they have all the information when making their decision on reads. That's my motivation.
This is a perspective slip because of what's unsaid here.
from VPB!town's POV - he should be townreading cephrir for having the same thought process as he does - unless he wants to claim that Cephrir is just plagiarizing him 800 posts later or w/e but that's clearly not his intent as he didn't even state things in the way Cephrir did.
Instead he seems peeved that Cephrir is getting town-read for a post that he already made - the goal isn't actually because he thinks Cephrir is scum - he just wants his own town cred for "saying something similar" which is kind of ????
Like this game isn't about seeing who can score the most town!points for statements about game state - this game is about sorting between bad guys and good guys. VP's entire conversation with Cephrir isn't about sorting Cephrir - it's about saying oh it's unfair Ceph is getting credit for something that I already said sort of kind of - which is not a town mindset.

In post 2769, Cephrir wrote:Between her and Andres it seems obvious they are switching in widely suspected players on purpose but I don't understand what the goal is
I think if they pick a widely suspected town player for the defuser - we can just blow that person up and POE narrows for them and they don't really get anywhere.
If they pick themselves for defuser - they run a risk of blowing themselves up.
So the least bad move they have is to target the same townread player - make the bombs stack up on them hoping we break, while using the swap to target people that are suspected in order to set up future mislims

In post 2975, Andante wrote:Pooky, why did you agree to save VP? after saying how he was for sure scum D1?
well everyone else thought he was town and I didn't want to get blamed if he blew up and was town cuz then i'm dead next
also he yelled at me and I'm susceptible to AtE >.>
Mostly I don't think VPB has the guts to put himself into a bomb squad when I'm swearing up and down that I want to murder him and he knows I almost never change my mind because I'm stubborn as hell and tend to death-tunnel - I think it's more likely that scum set him up to make me want to blow him up and then I get elimmed on the day after for blowing him up.

This is classic refuge in audacity and every word is designed to make you think they won't do it, in fact the more brazen it is the more likely it is they get away with this shit.

In post 3685, PookyTheMagicalBear wrote:think scum walked into that bomb session with the plan of blowing up Andres - when bomb expert is mafia its basically a strongman kill so this was planned out ahead of time.
I do think Dwlee made a good point that it doesn't make sense for them to bus Mala for cred and then openwolf a bomb explosion because now they can never endgame - unless SM is also scum and they're pulling a double bus. But even then it feels like a very shit exchange for them.

well if VP is town he wouldn't go back to defuse either because Dwlee gets autoyeeted
if you think vp is scum why would you risk scum getting to 3/4 defuses by letting another bomb go through
because I'm not 100% sure on VP being mafia and scum
do not win at 3 even if VP is scum
also GL's first post in the hood PT felt really townie and honest to me. He didn't really feel like he was pushing for being spared - also I don't think there's any reason for Scum!GL to really expect the three of us to townread him.
4 protectives with a backup protective in a game where scum dont even have 1 NK a night is yea no way.

I do not give a shit about whether a PLAY makes sense for a SCUM to do.
Scum do plays that DO NOT MAKE SENSE all the time.
That is part of being scum.
If scum only did plays that makes sense they would get rekt every game.

and like I don't think it actually makes sense for him to do this shit!push on me as like cornered scum cuz the odds scum!him actually flips me here is pretty fucking low and like after I flip town where the fuck is he going to go? try to get 2 more misflips?

I also really really don’t want to kill Enchant today
I’d rather do pooky but if it’s between me and enchant I think I’d prefer to go today, then do pooky tomorrow, then if we’re actually both town it probably is enchant
Need to do due diligence but I think resolving me/pooky first is a much healthier order

I'd defend myself against your nonsense but your case is literally too stupid to refute and my eyes bleed when I read it.
It would also require me to actually put effort into this game and I'm thinking it might be easier for me to just get limmed so I no longer have to talk to you.

It annoys me that you think it's ok to be wrong on every single thing and still wander in here like we should listen to you for the final lim order.
It feels like a very townie thing to think since only a townie could possibly be that fucking arrogant.
But I'd like to actually win the game.

maybe you will put me out of my misery and finally just lim me here so I can laugh at you bumblefuck around the last elims from the dead PT
that might actually be better for me actually

here's the towncase for myself:
(1) Mena says I'm mafia, Mena's been wrong on every single thing this entire game.
(2) If I was scum I would just push Mena to lim him instead of re-evaluating him OR I would just MAKE HIM A BOMB DEFUSER SO DWLEE CAN BLOW HIM INTO 25,000 PIECES. (It's actually wild that Mena is so adamant that Dwlee is kept alive to tunnel him but he doesn't realize he is being kept alive to tunnel me, like basic self awareness do you have it dude?)
(3) I would have to be a masochist to want to actually talk with Mena for another day. I am not a masochist. My scum game is fairly simple, kill people who are annoying so I don't have to talk to them. so if you're annoying me and you're alive, it's probly because I'm not scum.
if I am scum, let's say that I score a relatively arbitrary number of made-up "survival points" based on my night kills. if I kill you, the person most deadset on my death, I gain +10 survival points. if I kill ceph, I get to make the WIFOM argument that it hurts my chances of winning, and I gain +5 points.
but for
any other player
they gain let's say +20 survival points for killing any player that is not dwlee because they know that dwlee is highly likely to continue to tunnel me to death on D7. therefore any scum that is not me has at least as much motivation to kill ceph or andante or bell or CSF last night, because all of those are very likely to lead to the promising scenario of you murdering me today. does that make sense?
like he actually says this shit with a straight face while death tunneling me for the last three days

if I was scum I would arrange you and dwlee to have a nice little date in a nice dark room with a bomb and laugh at you getting blown up.
I do not do stupid wifom tricks as scum. I have literally one goal and I pursue it by walking in a straight line because my brain is the size of a walnut.

just to touch on that point: I don't think that's comparable, actually. scum need mislims, of which I am clearly very viable. dwlee is not a viable mislim. it doesn't make a lot of sense for scum!you to get me killed via defuser if you need my lim to be a daytime one. that's quite different to me not killing dwlee if scum to avoid dying during the day.
especially when, as others have noted, you're pretty high on the suspect list after I die
Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2022 12:33 am

yes you're so viable as a mislim that I am defending you as town

It feels like a very townie thing to think since only a townie could possibly be that fucking arrogant.
But I'd like to actually win the game.
I would like to be listened to, but also even without me saying "you must do this" we've got Bell, for instance, saying that he's going to take my reads seriously after I flip town
so even without me insisting on that, I still have a certain burden to try and get my reads as good as I can if people will be following them or using them as guidance upon my townflip
attacking me isn't doing anything to make me see you as more town and I don't think your towncase is very good
(1) I haven't, actually, been wrong on everything. I've been wrong on plenty and been late/mistimed on other things, but that's different to being wrong about everything. also it's fallacious to think that because I've been wrong on other things I'm necessarily wrong on this, or that if someone has been right on other things that they will continue to be so
(2) you were previously pushing to lim me, I'm still very likely to be the lim for today which means you don't need to do it so directly, and if you're scum you also have to bear in mind how it's going to look after I flip town. I think that you going in super hard on me when several town are having doubts probably makes you look much worse tomorrow and that's why you're backing off
(3) this is probably the strongest reason for why you might be town, but I think you're strategic>annoyance. so even if, yes, you might like to kill me because I'm annoying you (which is also a weird take for any day prior to maybe yesterday, given how little we'd interacted) I don't think you would if you need me as a mislim to have a chance of winning the game, which I think you do
I'm not fine with being wrong, I don't like it, but I'm also not going to torture myself over it if I think I did the best I could and it wasn't good enough -- I'm just going to try and do better next time

I don't know.
I have to sit down and do my re-read of the game.
I've been busy all week and the weekend is packed so I'll probably get some time to actually re-read monday-wednesday.
we have 8 days of deadline there is no rush - let's not fumble at the 3 yard line cuz we happened to have 1 scum left.

why are you so confident enchant is town?
it's not that... I'm confident that pooky is scum, but I think pooky has a much better scumgame than enchant.
so I'm much more worried that if Enchant is limmed today, then I probably go tomorrow, and pooky maybe manages to talk his way out of it in 3p
this is the other reason why I wanna be confident on everyone who isn't pooky or enchant being town, so that if y'all just lim me and pooky and the game hasn't ended then hopefully it means it is just enchant
