Uhhhhh, mostly mechanics discussion. Depends on if you think you can read that or not.

Not a heap of hunting. There's a bit of a 1v1 between the hydras but it's not much atm.
Don't @ me.

I don't trust anyone. Not even my hypothetical masons.

Look at motivations, not logic. I expect Ali to fuck with pure logic because that's where my VCA comes from?
No no no, this isn't a trust question, you know me, I'm paranoid as fuck.

This is a "I do not know the players in this game, so I do not know who I should respect the "gut" feelings of." type of question.

Same question really goes out to Ank and FL tbh, but they're not the IC. :P

-Cerb
Interesting.

The players I would put in this category are Dunnstral, Frozen Angel, Krazy, and Spiffeh. Those three players specifically I've seen can have pretty solid gutreads. Players like Amrun, MariaR, and Pine are players that I don't quite fit this category in that they tend to flesh out their reads more and rely less on gut, but otherwise there is functionally no difference between the two categories. There might be overlap if my read on how they play aren't accurate, but this should be mostly accurate.

The rest of the players either have less of a body of work I'm aware of or have played with them in, are much less consistent, are players I can't get a solid playstyle read on, or have been unproven to have that capability to my knowledge thus far. I will not be categorizing the rest of the players within these groups.

I'd like to reiterate what I've seen in the thread so far a few times that I would rather the day not end quickly

I'd like the opportunity to work with Titus this game and it's a lot more likely to happen if I have enough time and room to do what I need to do to make that happen

Are you saying that TSE is being coached? Because his posting says otherwise
You saying that you really believe that Ali wouldn't pick a shitposter then coach a shitposter on how to most effectively shitpost?

Because I 100% believe Ali is capable of that.
I don't think TSE needs coaching on how to shitpost but fair point

We have 3+ ascetics. So, at least skim.

Claim whether you're ascetic as well please.
K so going back to this, I trust Pine's claim which, if true, likely means one of the other two ascetic claims is scum.
Uh, he's not claiming ascetic though, and this is worded like you believe he is claiming ascetic - he's claiming ascetic enabler. If you're not paying close attention to his claim, how can you say you believe it?
I know what he claimed. My wording was off, as it usually is, but basically my thought was that if he's a town ascetic enabler, then one of Amrun/RR (the ascetic claims) is likely scum.

I should probably put my vote somewhere huh

AF's argument has poor reasoning.

@Spiffeh and @Titus - Care to weigh in on why his reasoning is flawed?

The short version of what's going on here is this: We're town (and irritated Titus didn't draft us, but that's a convo for another day; her irrational confidence that she can make it work "eventually" is gonna lead to some bullshit around about day 3 if we're alive then). The way Amrun came in and reacted to someone else (Espeonage is what my brain is saying but I have to go back and check to be sure) softing a counterclaim to us makes me pretty sure that's town. Scum would have no reason to CC us in that way. More likely scum would claim after the question of what NU was got answered by Cerb and use us for cover. Setting up a conflict with us early in that way just spews town.

Then Pine comes along and claims Ascetic Enabler, and that's key. See ... we have a super powerful role with Ascetic being attached Neg Utility to raise just the dilemma we are in. It's pretty long established (at least for Cerb and I) that you claim your NU up front. The counterclaims and then claim of an Enabler implies that the ascetic is in place for some additional reason other than just to tip the balance a bit with the Neg Utility.

So knowing that we have a very powerful role and also seeing Espeonage claim to have a powerful role and having Pine ALSO imply a very powerful role, and having at least weak reasons to believe they're town, the conclusion I'm arriving at is that there are more Ascetics out there who decided not to claim it. IF there's symmetry and scum have (an) ascetic(s), I expect they are unclaimed ones at this point.


Hopefully we can get Spiffeh to give us more than a couple sentences because I'm super interested in what the thinks of it and specifically if my reasoning makes sense.
