That’s exactly the point. I’m like a prizefighter, I’m clashing with my foe while also trying to glitz it up for those watching. And it is extra-pertinent I do so because those watching, much like in a gladiatorial match, have the ability to give the thumbs-up or thumbs-down to my cause.

I think 555 covers my progression from wanting my own elimination to turning my eye more critically towards Gamma, particularly the part about what happened when I calmed down.

Regarding your (Taly)'s push for the chair, I believe that is the motivation , but as discussed previously you are a townlean.

oh, thanks for the links , that makes it easier to follow!

It feels like this could easily be a method for you to rain check how the thread perceives you, or try to paint posts unfavorably without having to engage with them.

I encourage you to supplement your case for this with meta and your 4 years of experience with me as a player if you believe it to be scummy.

That concern feels fair but idk how to exactly rectify that rn
Part of the issue is Prism is trying to swamp me with evidence to sift through and rather than deal with a bunch of grist and shit that probably doesn’t matter I’m focusing on what I find pertinent. I had a similar reaction when ssbm_Kyouko cased me in Radio Buzz.

That was @Taly

Strange that half this table, every single one of whom have fewer games with me than you, can readily vouch that I am this aggressive and pull out receipts like this in a flash as town, but this is the most pertinent and scummy point to you.

Alright, if I post again in the next few hours someone slap me.

who are you and can we pocket each other?

I probably barely remember most of our games
And tbh I do see similarities to what kyouko did in your play but I’m not ready to back down just yet

This is unrelated but I remember the only time I caught -scum with such confidence.

It was and he had paired with an IC.

He 180'd his townread on me the second I scumread him. Then the IC lunged and scumread me.

I eliminated them.

Hehe, so I can officially say that I've eliminated an before. That should strike fear in scum of my capabilities.

hello, i'm an lsg player who's been sucked into some sort of mafia vortex and forced to play against my will. i'm very cute and charming and probably shouldn't be trusted although i sure like it when people trust me anyway. hope that helps!

i'm still trying to figure you out!

same here! let's do a popcorn back-and-forth question/commentary game!

It seems like your interest in the thread waned when you saw the altercation round 1000. Has any of their own posts helped inform you on their alignment?

taly do you have any thoughts on saber so far?

altercation round 1000. Has any of their own posts helped inform you on their alignment?

i think it would be fair to say i never had a ton of interest in the thread to begin with (i am quite excited about the game, but haven't found much of the thread interesting yet. i expect this will change eventually.), but it's also true that arguments with 7000 layers tend to especially bore me.

i still lean towards gamma being scum here. i think his pooky vote was nonsense, his tilting seemed a little scummy to me, i think several times he has thrown out votes in a weak attempt to distract from himself, and he's just acting strange overall, which makes him a good place for my vote right now as I have 0 other suspects. the fact that he's obviously losing the argument i don't care so much about -- i know that some players are just not as good at 1v1s and being one of those myself i can sympathize. but, i'm not sure i see a sense that he believes in the points he's making, which i do care about.

anything specific you want my take on?

a slot getting a lot of attention, is it warranted?

oh and hi

omg I'm so scattered with posts, I don't want to become a hyperposter.

I kinda wanna take some time to let things simmer wrt how I feel about Prism. Meanwhile:
VOTE: SirCakez
You feel notably absent right now. What’s going on?

Peta’s kinda felt reactive
Prism’s desire to be acquitted was a little skeevy and his reaction to being sussed was to claim joke which while technically valid doesn’t negate what actual tangible game thoughts he displayed with his joke
Ydrasse trying to jump in on the pockit fun felt a little overwrought

It's too early in the game to be voting someone because 'I don't think any of their paid actor reads are bad and I usually do' when Gamma has other valid suspicions.

It may just be inoptimal play over paid actor play though, since the reasons for his other suspicions are reasonable.

Only post that stuck out so far from them. I don't think is S-S.

is approaching aggro and I don't think a scumbuddy willingly incriminates themselves to defend a less than optimistic cause. At least, that's my presumption of a typical player I have no experience with.

The interpretation that is actually town means that might be deepwolfing. But that's too stretchy to assume at this stage, and in poor faith.

I think weighing the possibilities behind the posts that rile people up about is in good-faith, and likeliest town.


T/T or T/S. likely town.

has pinged me with his posts in the past pages, but I don't want to press a sore. I think his frustration and -aura is NAI and genuine, even if the reason is not.

Ask me a question!

I believe this response is town-indicative.

Taly, what do you think of Cakez rn? I feel like him being low-impact early is pretty strange in general but slightly scum-indicative based on recent meta
