Marci was scum in that?
Okay just checked, frozen, was probably the wrong word, fake and performative might be better. She sounds similar in HDP to that game. Here she seems more natural.

But I am deeply unhappy of how many posts I've made and deleted that are some form of "stop shit posting, only I can do that" I do think their granade style is still here and they haven't changed much, I'm glad they're (I hope they're) in a better place emotionally rn.
That's nice! What is grenade style?
You forgot? It's pretty much where every post you make seems to be incendiary. For example, hearing someone give an SR on a player and immediately announcing that you think they're town. Creates the beginning of a conflict.
Mostly, with all the shrapnel going all over the place it's hard to tell what's real. Well, not that it isn't already hard.

Johnny, if you were being sarcastic in 963, I would still appreciate it if you could point to some post numbers that gave you this feeling. It would at least give me a window into your thought process
They were being sarcastic. Making a rock solid case day 1 has been done a handful of times in the last year.

hydras are more likely to be targeted probably yes. so?
again, just a vibe, i guess i could go in depth on them right now and try to produce what made me feel this way but it's far from my top priority
Yes because two heads and less predictable, so scum is more likely to target them in general. So. just saying I get a little but worried whenever I see a hydra getting sr unless they’re flaming obvscum like D & D was in CoD.
i greatly disagree with this philosophy and will not be abiding by it
You were in Post Apocalypse so I genuinely don’t understand this take?

Ugh that's hard to change but I'll see if I can change it because it sounds annoying.

I'm ngl it would be the most lit timeline if we yeet Frogster today and he flips town and then tommorrow I get to pretend like he's a changeling.
Unfortunately he probably does not flip town here.

After reading Frogster's ISO in his latest scumgame (Large Normal 238), I actually feel decently good about townreading him here. I think he tends to aggressively townblock and PoE from very early on when he's town.

I like where you're headed keep going if you can! I have more of an artsy temperament than a science temperament so I think I'm most helpful to town establishing an early PoE than min maxing the mechanics, but I will try to help with both.
I'm skeptical of Malcolm, Off the Hook and Bellaphant so far.
In post 493, Frogsterking wrote:Enchant, Ceph, Johnny, BlueBlooded, Bella, C&G, Galron, Dwlee, Corwin, Roden, DancingPuppets
are where I'm most expecting to get a successful D1 hit, based on PoE combined from myself and the players I (relatively) trust.
Right now I'm most interested in any takes which can help narrow down that pool of 11, including elaboration from those players themselves.
PEdit:
If Rh9 rolled scum and they love to talk then they can talk in the scum PT.
In contrast, his scumposting is light (both by the number of posts he writes and by the number of reads he gives when he does post). I cannot quote the absence of something, but have a look at Large Normal 238 - zero townblocking and lack of really working with townreads: https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p13279060
I've seen a couple of people say his PoE is just LHF, which is probably an objectively accurate statement, but it's also kind of how I'm feeling right now about the game, since not many of the actively engaged posters are pinging me.
I think some of us from KTaNE may be remembering only the most outrageous event from that game (the catboi changeling fiasco). But he really did frequently change his reads as town.
The one very early game example I could find was on, funnily enough, the very same Lukewarm -
My bad, Luke. UNVOTE: Luke There's probably at least one lurker scum who hasn't even said anything yet so there's no way Luke goes in the bottom of the PoE. There's also no way Luke goes in the top of the PoE because fake game solving is a part of Luke's scum range.
VP is way too self conscious compared to their town meta. This might be normal play for Bell but my intuition is that they seem way too self conscious and belong in the bottom of the PoE.
There are several other examples throughout Day 1; one particular one that gave me a good chuckle when rereading was the "Cephrir is scum" --> "Cephrir is just town who's high"

Okay so normally I would say
Spoiler:
that sounds really boring
but in an effort to be less incendiary:
Sure Pooky, as long as you mislim me here D1 and you don't make the same mistake again next time.
Nope, you asked and I answered. Posting style changes = meds wore off = probably an increase of "grenade style" posting like Bell was describing, among other things.

I feel like Dancing Puppets could potentially be scum on the basis of a lot of their recent posts. Feel like there's a lot of stuff about them not necessarily having particularly distinct reads/being willing to sheep despite the fact that they have been quite active anyway. For how much they've posted it feels like there's a real lack of content there.

984 that's some great research CSF, I'm glad you came to the correct conclusion about my alignment in this game. What you said sounds about right as far as I know, I mostly make it up as I go along.

I wouldn't like bet a kidney on it.
I don't see anything he's posted that makes me think oh yea this is town Frogster.
