GrandpaMo - In my notes, I thought their #305 on HockeyFan felt unnatural - possibly from scum. They know Hockey misinterpreted what TSTBS meant, yet this post looks like an unnatural overreaction, and coming from the guy who originally wanted to drop the discussion wrt James' #40 (see post #130), the whole interaction just gave me scum vibes, which conflicts with what I think about their pro-town actions in pushing people with questions and pressuring the inactive slots. Could Hockey have baited Grandpa with their misinterpretation? Maybe, but I still feel the response was unnatural. I want to have more time to think on Grandpa overall.

VFP - So we have to take a gamble with VFP because he's acting so differently he might be scum and hasn't proven himself that much as town this game... Do I give thim botd due to them being ill/waiting for slots to speak? If someone were to gun-to-head me for an answer, he doesn't look like scum protecting himself/a teammate???

T3 - I forget who said #203 was good from them (fairly sure someone said it) but I thought part of them unvoting James due to "I put a lot of stock in meta, you don't care about it" when James explicitly stated he hated using meta was weak reasoning for the unvote. Uh, what else... they've reduced their pool of eliminations without giving reasonings, unless prompted, which we all expect from T3 at this point. TR'ing most of the cast and scumhunting less differs from the last two games I was in with them at least, where they were scum. I'm on the fence.

Looker - Nothing to add about them currently as they have yet to speak, but I thought StrangeMatter could have done better things with their time instead of asking more questions when the game needed answers - just felt like deflection. I don't take much stock on Rocky's tonal posts (the slot Strange replaced into) compared to in-game actions, and more needed to come from them to justify any sort of read IMO.

The Bulge - Well, that slot just replaced out, but I'll talk about their previous posts - I think Hockey was the one who said they had good tonal posts earlier, which I agreed with (specifically, showing resistance to James' claim - in a 'trying-to-see-the-intent-behind-it' sort of way), but they haven't done enough with their vote or looked anywhere outside of VFP/James. The shift from them townreading Strange's slot due to Rocky's tone, to later admitting the slot could be scum, doesn't sit well with me considering the slot should have been null to begin with (maybe I'm being overly harsh here).

cowsloveSushirolls - Looking back at their ISO, (which was a hard read - it's a LOT) they've done good things for the game. I'm reading their interactions with Hockey as light banter and natural, and the AtE on waiting for replacements slots to speak as genuine. They pushed James where he didn't need to be pushed (IMO) which gives me town vibes. I took note that they have made great strides to interact with most of the players in the thread bar my slot. I do feel like they're trying to bait reactions and ask important questions to get a better picture of the game rather than scum blending in, so I'm somewhat confident calling them town for now - not as much as James, mind you (watch them be the team lmao).

HockeyFan - His slot is okay. I think his interactions come off natural enough (similarly to cows' interaction with him). I humoured the idea he might have scum equity with Grandpa (as scum v scum) in my notes since I feel Grandpa's sudden push on him in post 305 would be safe to do since Hockey's slot was townread (to varying degrees) by some in the thread at that time, and scum voting a partner at that stage would present little risk but look good to town (but that's a WIFOM-y rabbit hole I'm not currently prepared to go down). He's acting like a more casual cows, perhaps because they've played together before. He's advancing his reads and the slot seems consistent from what i've read.

tl;dr:

James
Cows
---
Hockey
VFP
T3
---
Grandpa
Looker
The Bulge

That's where I'm at rn.

You know you play too much of a particular game when you see botd and misread it as bork...

From someone who's played an MMO to death, I get that feeling.

Benefit of the doubt, though, in case anyone was unsure.

Also:

VOTE: The Bulge

Welcome to hell! I hope you enjoy your stay.

Oh boy, time to read the game, find the scum team day 1, lead a scum elimination and get shot at night

let's go

my top three sandwiches i'd recommend
1. tuna melt (ingredients of a grilled cheese but slap tuna onto it)
2. my subway order (TOP SECRET, CLASSIFIED, but includes jalapenos and italian, lettuce too i'm willing to give you that)
3. knuckle sandwich (to the two mafia, HockeyFan and The Bulge)
the Fan goes today

VOTE: HockeyFan

Oh wow this is a scummy post.

This person can have a nice slice of increased scum equity.

And HockeyFan is town from the first page and it's not even close.

meta readers be like 'using my extensive knowledge of your games i see that you only say scrumbly bingus when you are mafia....... what say you?'

Another scum tone read.

GrandpaMO and Rocky have town equity for their exchange on Page 4.

Sorry, page 3

unless this is some kind of statement you are making

is pizza a sandwich? :OOOO

Dude I'd kill this today in a heartbeat I think, but I'll need to see what's going on in the rest of this.

If scum end up thinking I'm a Power Role from this, voila, there's 1 night without a dead Power Role.
If scum leave me, we have a non-Mason conf-town, always lovely.
Or maybe I'm just scum pulling your leg early.

Kay I'm a fan of possibly sticking this person 6 feet under too tbh.
