fwiw i'm actually feeling better about taly this phase - i kinda like how he keeps newly understanding the rules and how that immediately influences how he's approaching the events/who should cross.
lol that read is so bad wtf

i need to check what taly was saying when the crossing event started - there is obviously heavy incentive in scum not trying to murder each other that phase and maybe wanting to cut down the distancing - i suspect skitter was not happy with harley attacking her like that. i wouldn't be shocked if they were distancing when it was forced between me and infinity but couldn't keep that going during the crossing?
i know i had a brief moment where i backed down on skitter, but when she immediately de-escalated with me it was a huge red flag and i went back to insisting she/firebringer should be left behind for the entire event

(i’m at work and also feel like i am dying and running on no sleep that’s why i haven’t contributed yet but taly sounds very stern in that reply to skitter in a way that’s different than the playfulness of this phase.)

i think there's a few consensus scumreads so it's easier to find commonality amongst the people who oughtn't be crossing but the top townreads aren't as consensus so it's harder
and there's differieng strategy on how the crossing should work, etc
i don't think we should focus *too* much on the crossing order tbh because scum is just probably going to kill the first person crossing they think is somewhat threatening, it matters more who doesn't cross
pedit i think scum is always incentivized to kill because why wouldn't they take a kill offered, no?
this is some discussion, it doesn't say much to me

in the same post she literally said scum-her had suggested something similar in a differnet game
In post 4854, skitter30 wrote:sorry the because was to HQ, not you @taly
i'm saying that you can't townread her for 'that being too ballsy for scum-her to suggest' when we have an example of scum-her doing exactly that
and i think it's well in her range to mention that too
(to be clear i'm not saying i scumread her for it or that she is scum because of this, i'm saying this is a silly reason to townread her)
this is, eh, a post. not really anything to do with harley but i feel like skitter undercutting harley's read again points to ydrasse-town?

i don't think i ever not flip taly here over ydrasse, there's some things that make me say eh maybe not, i wouldn't be confident he's scum but there's nothing i find that's explicitly clearing like i do for ydrasse, and skitter's read movement on taly post pink room into crossing is very meh?

I don't know what you're expecting of me
Peta
I'm good with eating the lim if it makes elo easier.
But if you ignore my posts this event phase after my flip, I'm going to be pretty upset.

I could spend another two hours paraphrasing post-by-post my extensive interaction with Skitter in the Pink PT but I don't think that resolves much unless the rest of you want it.

Also omfg I love this event's mechanic. It's fucking delicious.
VOTE: Taly
Let's make this fun.
admittedly this is such a ballsy move in that event if he's scum because if he actually crosses first and doesn't die he looks very bad? but then people might not vote him over
and it's still very confusing from a
town
mindset

I could go back for more analysis but I really don't think

And I'm mad that I didn't pull teeth for power in the Heaven PT.

Are you reading my posts this event?
I don't know what you mean by
"you just have to leave me with something something work with"
.
I could elaborate or do analysis but I can't read your mind and figure out what helps give you the most clarity because it's not the same method that brings me clarity.

your posts this phase are like super-reactive and don't give me much to work with, it's so hard to think logically that gooey makes more sense than GE based on how the early game played out
and if you had doubts i'm not sure why you hammered gooey?
Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2021 5:51 am

like your entire thing has just been "gammagooey is scum for trying to lim me" and...i'm sorry, that's not very convincing?

The doubt didn't come until I saw Cakez didn't flip red and Ggy's entrance and continuous handwave dismissal of my points him.

can you just...restate it? or quote it for me?

I could in depth when I get home and have some spare time.
But please direct me if there's a better use of my time after this post instead because I have a busy workweek and we don't have long.
But IE,
Ggy's
complacency with limming both
me/ydra
OR just passively seeing how the thread falls is scum indicative because we are at threat of a potential elo and he is not bothering to define his solve further. It reads as him positing since he is in a state of immunity.
Also because his read of
Gamma
is inconsistent eith the fact that he does not try to defend him.
And it's also weird that
Ggy
was OK with being the leader the second I retreated, even though
Gamma
, his original vote for ruler, was never explicitly off the table.

No action itself is too incriminating but the progression tells me that
Ggy
sowed distrust in the townbloc from an informed perspective to endgame.
Because neither the rest of us 3 were combating a cohesive idea that we were a correct townbloc because we had no information to suggest such.
Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2021 6:20 am

And I'm reactive to
Ggy
here because I feel like his perspective towards me is hypocritical in regards to how he didn't want me to rule, but does what I believe he was paranoid of me doing - being complacent with killing town at the expense of a potential deepwolf final solve.
It's not fair.

i feel like he's been pretty explicit in his reasoning though, i don't see it as complacent
and he did defend gamma to me in
6564, i don't think he's not trying to at all
and if you're going to attack him for complacency i feel like GE is significantly worse in that regard?

The difference is incentive.
Why does
Gemerald
give up the opportunity for ruler as scum and and proceed to not :EFFORT: when his choice - me - isn't in the position?
He doesn't have an incentive other than trying to decide a mislim between potential town
Ydra
in his eyes, or obvtown me. So his WIM is tbh understandably fractured especially in light of being suspected.
And town usually get fatigued atp in the game... you and
ydra
fed off of each other's exasperation a few pages ago.
Ggy
just needs enough suspicion on slots outside of himself at this point to ride home a win in elo. If he's town, why doesn't he try to see who the town is between
Ydra
and I? To completely say
"oh, I ordered
Ydra
first nominee and but now I think
Taly
is worse off"
is disingenuous, because we can never verify how he came to this conclusion when he deliberated on his nom choices.
Better yet, since
you/Ydra
think
Gemerald
is very possibly scum, why doesn't
Ggy
give attention to that and surmise a world where it's BAD to have both
Ydra/Taly
at threat of death?
He's yet to convey that - the mentality that I think town should assume in their position. And the fact that I've shoved this in his face and it doesn't click, makes my suspicion stronger.

You would have had to capitulate on one of those had you been elected ruler though, which one would it have been?

I honestly do not know for sure. I would've spent the full length of time mod gave me to decide.
I would say most likely
Ydra
because I don't want to disrupt townbloc + would want to see if anyone in the townbloc would target Ydra if she were baited in front of them... what I would believe scum would likely do in such a scenario. But also because I would not be sure if
Ydra
truly is scum slipping through the game.
Next is a toss up between you and
Peta
. I would've said you under the justification of wanting to see the revival of Event 1/2 gamestate in the very end.
Peta
for defense of
Ggy
but that's such a shitty argument in game with 1 scum left, so I can't tell how I would've progressed had I gone that route - which is the least likely.
