Hello. Am so very tired from moving, but have been skimming the thread on my phone lying in bed. Mixed feelings.
I will say once again, this set up is weird. Like Marci said she is considering targeting me, which on one hand gives me the gun, but on the other hand is still essentially mislim. Just on Marci not me. Which leaves me thinking, do I even town case myself here? Idk.
I also kind of wish that both my desktop and laptop were not both currently in a box / suit case somewhere in my current world of aillion boxes so I could actually grab all of the quotes I want to respond to from the last couple of days. But instead, this game is getting just my phone post ramblings.
First, the "town casing" Which is not actually town casing, as much as "hey, did people actually think about the things they said?" So far the only reasons I have seen people give for scum reading me: shitposting early on in the game (looping Marco's recent post into this one btw), having less content, being less analytical / not casing early on this game and
omgus from hockey
and I guess I am curious what makes people think that makes more sense to come from scum me, then town me? I have a completed scum game that pav and hockey were both in, and I am pretty sure Marci read (at least parts of), and I don't think anyone would describe my scum game as marked by shitposting or by being low content, or being less analytical, or not constantly casing various slots. So I guess it feels like people are jumping from "different " to "scum" without thinking all that much about it.
Anyways. Marci, I came into this game expecting (and hoping for) a meme game. Similar to that exploder panamonium game you played and asked me to read. I kinda expected this game to last like, a week, regardless of which side won or not. So, signing up for a meme game was my expectation. To the point that I was thinking about who I would hip shoot if I started with the gun first, and then made a snazzy image using my favorite still from sailor moon. Btw, both the image and the target were picked out before I ever received a role pm (so I think that it would have been my first post even if I rolled scum lol. Just because like, that was my plan if town, ya know)
And over time, the game got more serious, and so I started getting more serious too. Which, tangent, is a big part of why I town read enchant for this. When I looked at his iso, I felt like I was looking at that same kind of journey through out the game , and they say similar thought implies similar alignments, so I get town vibes from that. His recent "I would roll dice to decide who to shoot" though, really does not sit well with me, and the "similar thoughts" idea is a bit blow out of the way with this, because that is so wildly opposite of where I am at this point.
Anyways, I am rambling (but also not trimming because not gonna edit on phone. Sorrynotsorry)
Re centering my thoughts I wanted to get out there, incase you are looking to make your choice before I spend most of tomorrow unpacking and actually get back to the thread with a proper computer x.x.
Hectic + hockey scum.
These last few posts from hectic were WILD. In a, is he really trying to call me scum for the things that he is doing?? Kind of way.
Specifically, he accuses me of wildy changing up my reads on him when the things I pointed out all came from earlier in the thread, with no new information. Self motivated I believe he called it (yeah, yeah, he corrected it to scum motivated, but self motivated is more accurate lol)
When, like, look at his "vision quest" he went on wrt to pav. He goes from pav is just scum here to an entire solve that did not involve pav with no new input from anyone. And imo, it is wild to see someone have that kind of blatant read shake up, and then turn around and say that that kind of read shake up is scummy.
Anyways. I would like to say that I did have new information. I town binned hectic early, and I don't think i was properly questioning that enough. The first thing that kind of pinged me was his "I don't think we have to worry about that this game" comment to hockey about the lamist points I made about him. In a "I just don't understand how hectic can be so sure, becausr it worries me"" kind of way. And then I saw Toog put hectic in his scum pile and hectic turn around and put Toog in his team solve. I had them both in the town bin and suddenly them both cross scum read one another was kind of a "I might be missing something" moment. And then his entire read reversal on pav seemed strange, at the time looked like it could be "scum came up with a new path to victory" then a real transition. So, I looked back over hectic, which I really had not done since I town binned him. And looking back at his iso, now knowing that you (Marci) are conftown and that t3 is confscum, I spotted the earlier stuff... Hense my case on hectic
But you want to know a read progression that does not make sense to me.
Hectic, starts having worries about me for being "less analytical" (which again...). So he is considering a scumluke team. Brand new solve for him. ->
He sees my post where I said I was thinking about the game wrong ->
Gladiate!
The biggest concerns for me there are first that I have not even made a case yet at this point. Without seeing my thoughts to look at them to gauge if they were genuine, the mere idea that I was swapping to a scum read on him meant he was ready to bet the whole game on his brand new read? Which, to be clear, he was claiming to be so sure that he was willing to bet the whole game. In the world of town!hectic, if he If you shot him first, and he instantly shoots me. Of he is wrong, town loses
So I guess I don't see the genuine town thought processes behind seeing exactly that post "been thinking about the game wrong, will write it all out tonight" and think, "aha! I have caught scum, and I am so sure that I will bet the game on it" -- and I think it was actually designed to preempt and discredit the case I had coming.
Anyways. I can't think of anything else that stood out to me when I read through tonight.
All in all, I think hectic is just scum here. From the alt switch to dosing t3 but angling for misshots on you/pav instead of him, to blindly town locking hockey, to his "vision quest" to his preemptive gladiate. It all screams scum to me.
Side note, he has HARD town binned hockey for the entire game since t3 flipped. Gone so far as to say that t3 tmi'ed him town. Put hockey in the top of his town reads in every read list since, and dismissed voiced suspicions on him. And now hockey suddenly swings all the way in to his team solve? This was the other "is he accusing me of what he is doing? Moment, when he said that I was scum reading hockey because I knew I would die soon, and wanted to distance from a partner. Well here we are, the first time hectic had ever been in danger of being targeted, and that is when the read switched x.x

Marci, if you got any questions for me, let me know, but i think I hav managed to ramble out all of my thoughts at this point.
You should be shooting who ever you think is scummiest person. If I get the gun, I am pretty sure that I am shooting hectic at this point.
