Actually you read it correctly. I don't have the terminology down. This is the 2nd time I've made this mistake.

This is a good thought. I think if Marci ends up being the elimination, this is going to be a much easier question to answer.

Don't know what happened to the quote. One sec. ^

I did everyone just ignored them

All we have so far is 409, which was cobbled together by TTTT. I don't need pages of theory/analysis, I'd just like each player put into one of three groups: town, null, and mafia. Furthermore, if you are town, you have a unique perspective on your wagon. Who looks like they are cynically pushing you out? Who looks like town being led astray?

Meant to quote that last part from furtive ^

I don't know how I feel about starting a counter-wagon on someone who just got here and is in their first game on the site, regardless of how scummy the slot appears. That seems like a good way to drive someone away from the site permanently. They will presumably still be here on Day 2. Two replacements in less than a week doesn't look good on a slot, especially on Day 1. I don't feel great about holding that against Goldie as soon as they replaced into their first game, regardless of how questionable the slot is. I'd like to hear other opinions on what is customary in this situation.

I won't leave the site if you eliminate me don't worry, if you really think I should be eliminated do it, I don't want to be kept alive because you all feel sorry for me lol.

That said I'm town and I don't want you to waste an elimination on me.

I also think this post makes Somnus seem slightly more town - it would be easy to press for an elimination of me, a townie without looking suspicious so the fact that they are actually defending me (sort of) makes me think they could be town.

Why do you jump to him being desperate to bus his partner vs desperate to save his partner (Marci) vs wanting to look like he was trying to stop a town miselimin (Marci) depending on how she flips?

Also though, Dino's tenure in the slot was individually kinda bad

Could you Explain this please; Dino made 1 post about there being a lot of content to read through, how is that suspicious?

Scum is more likely to be scared of how to get into the game then town?

Dino signed up to play, was asked if they were willing to be a replacement, said yes, opened the thread and said hello... And then nothing.

Can someone please intent to hammer Marci so we can get a claim?
the clock is ticking

@Goldie, what changed in the like 20 mins between these posts?

--snip--
Marcistar: reasons I already described, also at the beginning they kept asking for reads but weren't contributing anything, I think that asking questions isn't scummy however it really looked like Marci was trying to look like she was pushing the game forward but not having to contribute or just looking for someone else's reads to latch onto.

However I'm not certain She's scum anymore.

Lots of questions.

Why were you certain to begin with?
What changed your mind to being uncertain?
What prodded you towards putting it back?

Fake musing. You were never really considering marcistar/Gold. If you were I'm disappointed.

God this looks informed.

Furtive why do you have to do this to my nice town read on you

@marci - you should probably just claim

so it's scummy because I'm trying to save Marci from getting elim'd?
but it's also scummy because I'm not voting another counter wagon?
pick one

Yes. Like I said, both of these things could be perceived as scummy. But they aren't necessarily exclusive either.

Once again, I would like Marcistar to claim and I want to bring down the hammer!

they do seem to be contradictory
like if I'm marci's scum partner I utterly failed because I didn't push a counterwagon
if I'm the partner it would have been better to just straight bus her and let her self-hammer to avoid spew
not unvote to ensure we got some content from a replacement
my unvotes did not prevent her having to claim, as you can now see
my unvotes just delayed it

Some quick thoughts....Goldi has come into a tough spot. The third player in the slot 7+ IRL days into the game. They seem to be giving genuine reads and trying to work through the mess of 25 pages of conversations. It's going to be hard to really get a decent read on them at this point, IMO. I'm encouraged of their effort and an interested in their thoughts/reads but my focus is still elsewhere.

Marci is still the play here. Nothing has changed for me in that regard.

TTTT had drawn some attention from me yesterday, and has since made some posts that have raised my eyebrows even more. I'm on mobile currently so am not going to try and put them all here. But, like I said before, we can address TTT later as Marci is the play today. Eliminating Marci and seeing how she flips helps further shape my thoughts on TTTT.

Marci - you're at E-1. I don't think this wagon is going anywhere. Time for someone to state intent to hammer and for you to claim.

Fair enough. But the way you played it felt like a smart scum move (not pushing for someone else) and using the excuse of hearing from a replacement. I appreciate the response and in doing so makes me need to go back and look through that progression.

Seen and not responded too.

Feels like a "if you think that was scummy, then who is my partner then" which is not a line of questioning that is particularly helpful in almost any situation imo

BigTerps shade on TTTT for unvoting feels like a "I am suspicious of TTTT for doing the townie thing to do in this scenario."

I think TTTT is town atm, but even if I am wrong on my TTTT read, it was have likely been something done to look townie by doing a townie thing. - Not whatever scum ploy BigTerp is implying

Meh, maybe I was unclear to begin with.

I formed that the scum team is not Marci+Gold -> Which implies you are scum.

The observation is completely independent from who your partner would be in that scenario.

Well I'm not informed, it's just the most obvious scumteam right now, which is never usually the case.
