[Antihero]

[Antihero]

tbf to spiffeh, this is actually p stupid

what's the advantage to quick lynching now...?

[Antihero]

pbbbbpbtpbptbptpbptpbpbt

ok idk what i'm doing yet but apparently 5 ppl think killing kat wo posting is a good idea......? that doesn't even sound right to me but whtvr

but i'm out for tonight

see ya'll tomorrow

pedit: 6........?

[Antihero]

Fun tomorrow and more!

but.... fun tomorrow is coming regardless......?

[Antihero]

hey fire,

you around?

[Antihero]

are you going to quick duel if you live to tomorrow?

[Antihero]

ah.... ok VOTE: firebringer

i've been pretty good

[Antihero]

/shrug, you haven't done anything townie so far and fire is town enough that i don't want to kill him

[Antihero]

hey

alright... so first things first everyone should absolutely vote one of us and neither is absolutely an awful vote for reasons that, judging by the last vote count, everyone seems to already get so that's good

that said VOTE: antihero

all caught up on here's where i am on reads so far

[Skygazer, MariaR, Fundamental Theorem, Porkens, Spiffeh, Toogeloo, UnrealSeal, stungun0404, Lady Lambdadelta, Gammagooey]
[rb, the worst]
null line --> [BlueBloodedToffee, dramonic, Gamma Emerald, Papa Zito, Creature, Princess Celestia, Vecna]
[Brian Skies]
[Garmr, Prof Fridays]

have a bunch of various townleans that i don't think many ppl disagree with w maybe the exception of maria (there was a post she made that i read and thought "too ballsy/needlessly inflammatory to be scum") or maybe porkens...? (while maybe brash and premature, i don't see scum doing what he did after seeing the last impulse dueler go up in flames, not to mention the "GIMME POWERS" feels pretty genuine to me) so that's all i'm gonna say about that for now

rb and worst tier, i haven't rly found anything to explicitly townread them on but i kind of feel like both of them have posted enough to where i think i would feel scumvibes by now if they actually were scum

null people either haven't posted or haven't rly done anything. (creature, i would move down to outright scum if this game is multiball. he's been posting so he's not playing to his "scum meta" per se but he's been enough of a nonentity to where if he WERE posting genuine naked reads while trying to avoid doing anything of consequence to draw attention as multiball scum, i wouldn't be surprised.)

for brian, i kind of feel like he's been drumming on this "plz kill me" thing enough wo replacing out to where it feels kinda fake and it's a psyche out to get townread. plus he hasn't given out any reads that make me think "yeah that's legit" (the gammagooey read is meh)

garmr's mostly a gutread and also based on tone i guess...? i feel like he's trying really, really hard to endear himself to everyone and i also haven't seen any reads from him that i thought "oh that's a good read."

prof friday has a few posts (19 total) and it's a bit but it also feels like he's very purposefully saying JUST ENOUGH to avoid being called a lurker while trying to not make a splash. Post 1039 the generalization "here's who's scum" wo any follow through NAMING NAMES is a good example of this. it also kinda feels like he's trying to stick to spiffeh a little.

[Antihero]

everyone seems to already get so that's good

*ok not all but most

see: LLD's post on the subject

[Antihero]

UnrealSeal, stungun0404, Lady Lambdadelta

why do you townread these people

for unreal, there are a couple places where it looks like he kind of spontaneously turns on perfectly defensible arguments. one ex is where porkens duels me and at first he goes "oh lol kill both lurkz" which he, as scum, would prob be willing to sit on but a couple minutes later votes me just to say screw you to porkens. it gives his posting less of a calculated or driven feel and more of a loosey goosey one i generally associate w town.

i give stungun townpoints for initiative in the early game and posting itself is acceptable

LLD is not only posting protown arguments but doing so when she would, as scum, not have incentive to do so sooooo... that seems kinda town to me

[Antihero]

neat

[Antihero]

gamma's drifting south of null

[Antihero]

FakeGamma why are you trying so hard to out the vig?

it's not even that.

he folded a smidge too easy to spiffeh for my liking (why would you start at "wait and see, i respect this player" and then roll over to buying into a LURKERSCUMZ meta argument when the game only started on friday AND it's over a weekend)

big thing is it feels like he's posting just to post rn

[Antihero]

so now i'm actually here and spiffeh has no desire to talk

just running out the clock until tomorrow or what...? idgi

[Antihero]

i don't know.... did you read?

[Antihero]

leaving for the day

will be around tomorrow morning if it even matters

[Antihero]

I don't really see anything explicitly wrong with or bad about Antihero's recent posts, he actually brings up a really good point about Prof Fridays that I also noticed when he was interacting with me. It's just that there's nothing there that COULDN'T be from scum!Antihero.

Rereading his interaction with FB doesn't make me feel that great either

I expect town!Antihero plays a stronger role in trying to save Firebringer there, at least attempting to convince people to vote his way instead of making the weak stance he did and disappearing from the thread until he's the one in the hot seat.

And I still hard town read Porkens so yeah

i had barely any time to play this weekend so i just prioritized reading fire and katsuki. i guess i should've just declared v/la so i guess it's my fault

[Antihero]

Summary of Case for Porkens

1. The duel seems more probably town-motivated than scum-motivated. Why take the gambit as scum, when you can just as easily fly under the radar and coast with an easy 5 town kills under your belt? A case was made for Antihero's scumminess and Porkens jumped on it, thinking it a good idea, given his Scrap PR. This also seems like what I would expect from town!Porkens as far as I've seen. You can make the case this is WIFOM, but I'd argue it's not an even WIFOM - again, I'd say it's more probable this is a town gambit than a scum one.
   
2. Porkens' soft-claim (or maybe not-so-soft-claim at this point) makes sense with the gambit, as stated above.
   
3. Porkens' flavor claim aligns with what I know to be town by my Role PM.
   
4. There seems to be no good case
   for
   Antihero. It seems like most of the Antihero votes are Anti-Porkens. Antihero has also conveniently not claimed, which is odd, given the deadline.

nothing town about prof friday's recent posting beeteedubs

why would i claim when my power gets handed off to someone i think is town?

[Antihero]

Antihero blustered about wanting to duel, he was blatantly anti town, and I wanted to duel someone I thought I could win against. Half that, half lols

that was a joke, dipshit

i was parodying the ALL CAPS blustery playstyle while acknowledging someone i knew

thanks for wrecking this game for me, glad you at least got your "lols"

[Antihero]

Antihero, I will be more use to the town than you are. I'm sorry, but it's true. My family is on vacation. I'm kinda all alone here. Happy to play most/every night. You don't have time for this. If you are town, you should vote for me. If you are scum, you should vote for me. I'm going to win, everyone can tell that now. You prolong the day and give targets by dragging this out.

tell spyrex you want energon if you haven't already

[Antihero]

antihero pls give reads before day ends

already did. reads didn't change much since yesterday, but i'd probably downgrade gamma emerald

gammagooey is also kinda creeping me out but he's still townlean (tho if i fucked up on a townread it's him, rb, or theworst)

also prof friday is prob to the point where i'd dayvig him if i was the dayvig

[Antihero]

agreed on prof friday

you had gamma emerald town at all? how come?

no, i had him at null...

holy shit are you lazy or scum?

[Antihero]

whoa there cowboy it was a reasonable question

...

i mean... what he was asking is there in black-and-white so no, that's the definition of a "lazy question"

[Antihero]

And such a minor misunderstanding certainly isn't something to accuse him of being scum over.

that WAS kind of an impulse outburst but tbh i wouldn't rly be surprised if rb ended up being scum just bc i haven't rly gotten a hold of any reason to townread him w a capital T. at this early point i'm just kinda figuring "eh, not scummy so probability is good that's he just town bc there ARE more town than scum"

ftr, i think i have plenty of reason to be disappointed w how this game played out for me

[Antihero]

I at least want to get this in. I have Skygazer as a scum-read based solely on this post:

i mean my role pm says autobot, those r the good guys right???

Seems like obvious feigning ignorance, especially when you account for the fact that

none

of the flipped Autobot-aligned town have been called Autobots in their flavor. I can affirm that my Role PM says "Autobot" nowhere.

i'm assuming that's a joke

the premise being that autobots aren't town, decepticons are and it looks like this game's flavor is kind of reversed in that the "bad" guys in the source material are town.

[Antihero]

Ah, perhaps I misunderstood, then. I just assumed the autobots were the good guys and I was one of them. All I know is I'm a Constructicon.

idk how you would assume that given "decepticon" is explicitly stated in the town win con

[Antihero]

well, i guess i'll have the privilege of watching the infuriating chorus of ppl labeling this a "townslip" from the dead thread
