"I feel really good about this list of people that... I don't know everyone who is in it."

You got two options: It's me (hi!), or it's me (hi!), or it had better start being me (uhm, hi!), or what the heck happened there? How do you forget a list right as you make it when you function a lot via Townreads?
You are one of the people that I need to re-read through to solidify my read on. I remember thinking that parts of your big wall read townish and your recent reply to Amrun read townish, but I rarely get a solid town read on you early day one unless certain ~things~ make me read you that way. Though I like this response to me.

As far as me not remembering the last person, if there even is one, I could cite lack of sleep and a bad memory for a disjointed game. Or it's just that I felt like I had more strong town reads than that, so when I listed them I felt like there should have been more.

Why would me forgetting something or someone I wanted to talk about seem surprising though? I mean I guess I could see wondering why I placed someone I couldn't quite remember in a possible scum place because you could argue that I was just leaving that open to fit someone in as scum as it fit, which would still be silly for me as scum, but me giving a list after catching up on something like 10 pages after being absent on and off from the game shouldn't be surprising from me.

Happy birthday, Andy!

Tammy: I was mostly joking about a Townread on me.
I'm jealous.
I know how you function and I know I haven't put out much, so it's not exactly surprising you don't have a strong read. I'd have expected a mention of some sort (I expect you to focus on the people you believe you can read, thus me), but I also understand sleep deprivation and I guess you're still recovering from last week.

The issue is that it's the
strong
Townreads list. If it was someone who had made a passing impression, fine, but forgetting someone from your strong Town pile when you can just scroll back/check the first page for the full playerlist and see who caused such a good impression and yet is now gone... that feels off. My maybe-Town reads are usually a mess after catching-up, but the strong ones I remember.

(Hint: it's BROseidon. Go sleep.)

Ah Broseidon should actually be on my probs town list, not on my strong town read list. That's probably what I was actually missing now that I look at the front page, which I didn't think of before. Don't look at me that way :shifty:

I mean I could try to troll you and call you scum to see how you react, but I don't have an actual reason for calling you scum, so it would read superficial to you and not give me anything to work off of readwise, so for now I'll observe. I know what I'm looking for.

I'm going to be mostly V/LA over the next four days--so if there is something you want from me before gaming devours me from dawn to midnight, say so now.

Quick thing out of the way:
In post 2, Andrius wrote:All Role PMs are out! Please confirm via PM. >_>
Game will start when we get 14/17 confirmations.

Addendum: There seem to be issues with quicktopic at the moment. Going to wait it out a bit and if it doesn't clear up I'll look into hosting QTs elsewhere.

QT appears to be working again.
I don't think scum have Daytalk, otherwise this wouldn't really have been an issue--why worry about it pregame when QTs are fairly sure to be working in a few hours for a Daytalking team?

Feels kind of dirty to use that, but Andy put that information in the thread, soooo.

Metal Sonic is still Town for the panache in his behavior. However, MS, please
tone the hell down
. This game is a pain in the ass to read and it's
your
fault. Stop insulting people, you are clearly not using that as a method for reading them.
I can believe he's actually a one-shot dayvig (guess who is not Edmure "Failtrout" Tully :shifty:). But I can't really understand how he was confused by the possibility of a thread-vig reclaiming his shot after shooting.


Aaaand the star of the show that makes me really happy because I didn't have to read a lot:

UNVOTE: Venmar
VOTE: Desperado

Let me walk you through Tamuz's
RVS behavior
actually his entire ISO aside from the proxy dodge:

Here, let's let someone else "do" something funny with this vote so I don't have to put it anywhere.
In post 14, Tamuz wrote:Does anyone know if Andrius is a bastard enough mod to give someone a 'Hodor' post restriction.
No attempt at content and a really bland push at this game's "bastardness". The game was listed as non-bastard and anyone who cares about such things
will look them up
. Also, it's an empty question--wouldn't someone with such a restriction (fake or real) become obvious in two pages?
In post 232, Tamuz wrote:ankamius pushing a flavour. I really don't like that, but I'm unsure what to label it
Do you know
why
Tamuz didn't like Ankamius joking around with flavor, especially the flavor of someone who is
dead by Book 3
? I don't, but this was the only person he had such trouble with, and instead of reasoning it out, he goes the easy route of softclaiming flavor = scum, which is ridiculous in a theme game from a beloved source.
In post 14, Tamuz wrote:Good point somewhere in there, I don't recall from who. We REALLY should try lynching Andrius.

Vote Andrius
More bastard talk, still no care about checking it again. Tamuz is not Mac or Nobody Special, but I can't help being reminded of Mac's contentless "this game screams bastard" in KK's Xylbot II and NS's insistence that Vi's Mafia in Triplicate was a bastard game during the game. Both of them were scum--and it's
not
that the games were bastard, it's the empty remark and focus on that at a point in the game where that concern makes no sense from someone who only knows their own role, convoluted as it might be.

Holy crap your posts are awful and defensive against all but completely nothing.
Grouping these together. Notice what he's doing? Both of them are awful, both of them are super self-conscious, both of them are pretty clearly rather inexperienced players. But Metal Sonic gets labeled as scum while KillerApple gets into the meh, junk mushy KillerRedDelicious section.

Nacho--kindly explain why you were giving a pass for Venmar for being lazy when I imagine you've seen him bring out posts like that Nexus case before (and he did say he used to wall). Seems quite a bit of disparity in attitudes, and I wouldn't call it being
lazy
. Having trouble finding traction on the game, maybe, I've been there. He found it, and he's scumhunting, so I'm okay with him. But it didn't read as laziness then, and it doesn't read as having-been-laziness now. Why did you think Venmar was being lazy?


macmollie: KillerApple was an idiot, couldn't handle the pressure of being told everything he's doing is wrong. That was not scum buckling under pressure, that was a newbie failing at their everythings. He can't know what is MS's alignment in ongoing games, so he was trying to make a general analysis and blustered against the site rules. If anything, we see a player who was not lazy, but was desperately trying to get a read on Metal Sonic, and if he doesn't have absolute data from flips, looks for relative data from general attitude elsewhere. He was trying. Godspeed to the Red Delicious, now come join me in actual scum.


I haven't actually gone through anything of Cabd's yet. >.> <.<

In post 682, tsunami wrote:Okay CDB is probably my strongest town read right now. In the Wire we had a whole meta discussion about CDB and how he tends to lurk as scum.
It's not that he can't post actively as scum, it's that posting actively as scum drains him more than it does most people, thus the lurking excessively. So at this point in time I'll never lynch him unless he literally disappears. That being said, I've actually liked the content he's been bringing forward lately and it certainly hasn't been the middle of the road drivel I'm used to when CDB is scum, so, he's probably town regardless of activity.

I might be able to, but I absolutely love people giving me reasons why I'm town.

I just mislynched the fuck out of Venmar in a recent game because he was being lazy. So hey, Venmar can be lazy and that isn't that really that reliable of an alignment tell because Venmar is occasionally lazy. And when he's lazy scum, he has no options and I can sit back and watch him try to hobble onto wagons sneakily and nail the fuck out of him when he does it. But I'd rather not push him for being lazy because lazy Venmar is too easy to lynch.

^so is lazy MS

except Ms is lazy more of the time than Venmar


also mollie, I have a 3rd completed game that you missed, i flipped town

nobody should ever read it if they have a weak heart

if you are already calling me scum and get pissed off at this stage already then you really should never read that, you will die of a heart attack

mollie its called: Mainstream Mafia

if you think this game was "insulting" then that game will be a horror movie/SAW


will make my wall on generic tomorrow when I get time to slack off

it takes like an hour to two so yeah

I told you, get on with it. I'm not playing a game where you keep threatening to kill me whenever I point out your attitude or scummy play.
Is it any wonder people have this belief about you? The day vig role if your aren't bullshitting can be a strategic weapon that benefits us, but you threw out the claim to laud it over everyone who steps put of line in your view.

You are simply a bully, do either ticking do it or get on with the actual game.

I still have to catch up a lot, haven't read everything yet -- this is my busy day. But I just wanted to say to Tierce that I never said it was a problem you were busy. Of course it's not. I said that the things you were posting while you are busy came off scummy to me. Those are very different things.

Isn't this what most people do?
- It's an unfortunate site meta, I can agree to that, but scum are more likely to push it and more liable to do it since they got legitimate reasons for doing so, since scum benefit from running people up for claims and repeating so they got plenty of info for the night. It comes down to the circumstances of jumping the wagon that really determine the alignment, and I think the context and circumstances that you're in, justify that it was from a scum perspective.
In post 569, Nexus wrote: The fact that you're absolutely adamant that I'm scum, and wasted your time making that post, but don't seem to be looking at other candidates is worrying.
- I think you spoke far too soon. I'm clearly currently entertaining the possibility of Amrun being scum, and in the same post I made my vote on you I noted that at the time I thought CDB was scummy as well so this is technically not true.

---

You provided us with some games that contradict my tiny meta argument, but also some that support it. It all really boils down to the gut portion of the meta read I mentioned.

I'm currently thinking Amrun and Nexus could be scumbuddies, Nexus for obvious reasons, and Amrun for what I think is soft defending Nexus without
actually
defending him. Examples are #546 where she says she's cogitating about it and that it's not on her priority list ( soft defence / delay ), the ending of #605 where she brushes it off and says it's not relevant to the game state right now ( more soft defence ), and the ending of #635 where she just acts unconvinced, vaguely calls Nexus town and pats it down by complimenting me ( little bit of soft defence ).
- It really just boils down to small comments that try to avoid actually defending Nexus, but still trying to prevent his wagon from catching fire. Such relationship I see often between scumbuddies. The difference between Amruns defence of Nexus and CDB's defence of Nexus, for example, is that Amrun does it very softly and almost indirectly, while CDB just blatantly out right defends Nexus, which I think is a town motivated response.

It works both ways, so it doesn't REALLY matter if Amrun or Nexus go first, but i'm obviously in preference to Nexus since that strengthens the Amrun scumread a little bit.
That's total bullshit. I have called nexus town several times, both before and after your case. Nexus is a town read of mine. I don't think your case calls out things that are particularly alignment relevant, which I've also said. I registered your case, and read it, and will continue to consider it within the context of the game, but I don't buy it.

Tell me how repeatedly calling someone town is a "soft defense."

Why did you use quotes if you weren't going to reproduce my words exactly? And then use italics on some of them as if they were really incriminating when I never said them?

Here's what I actually said:
In post 540, Desperado wrote:Last fake dayvig I saw came from scum. Metal Sonic's attempt here looks no better. Someone is going to have to link me to some games with town fake dayvigging before I consider him as town.
It wasn't a threat, it was a statement of fact. Metal is scum for me until further notice. One example of Oversoul (a serial town liar, it would appear) fake claiming and some snark added is not going to convince me that metal's behavior was town motivated.

I don't remember you at all in mainstream prolly cos I completely gave up on d1 when town would not lynch scummy as fuck jason. any other site I play he would have been lynched in 5 minutes his timing is always like the worst thing ever but then no one on this site even knows what the fuck I am talking about when I say "timing". besides we were culted n1 so then I was really not that interested and made majiffy do all the work.

if you are town I suggest you start working towards your wc and try to work with your town reads. your 1 man lone ranger act is just making people want to lynch you and generating a bunch of noise. and I am not sure anyone is buying your day vig claim personally I think you are full of shit and you will have to use it in this day round or you will be nked cos if anybody wastes a doc protect on you I will personally beat the crap out of them.
