ill post when i’m home.

if there’s anything ppl want me to talk about immediately i’d appreciate the questions so i can get a footing here.

[Ydrasse]

i showed up a bit early to work so i have a few moments but scanning his iso i don’t see a soft anywhere in it, maybe i’m blind but i don’t see that. why would i claim tho and narrow down prs.

also i don’t understand the fos on this slot, is it activity + him being hesitant?

[Ydrasse]

okay, i went back a bit and saw there were claims, i have no clue why my slot would have sifted anything save to bait mafia. i hardclaim VT.

[Ydrasse]

And had that not taken over an hour id be very happy to believe that it was a good reaction test

nah, just at work atm

- quick inherited a bad slot tbh. reading brass's posts prior it's hard for me to tell if this was someone who was frustrated town and being unhelpful because of the game state, or a frustrated scum player who was caught out and doesn't have much of a chance to get their way out of it. 332 pings me; it seems like an excuse to say "my reads won't be enough and i didn't do enough", in that a scum player doesn't know where they can put their suspicions and is trying to wriggle out of attempting to gamesolve.

- i don't like votato's opening because it has nervousness ("ses please don't think too hard on this") but i'm not putting a lot of stock in this.

- 91 not all epicmafia players are cocky >:(

- i don't like 104, and given that arthur ended up flipping town pointing out the little things like anxiety/etc and still not having a vote somewhere isn't great. 111 same thing. 118 arthur catches on.

- 121 pings me but that might be bc i'm sr'ing this slot as i am trying to read. given that there hasn't been like, much if any game-progressing content from this slot.

- 143 bad. not a fan. despite saying there have been lifelines given i don't really feel like there was much in the way of this. it seems like arthur has always been positioned as the inevitable elimination.

- the self hammer sucks.

- 193 thru 196 is one of those things when knowing in retrospect that lunatic claims pr, town looter is just looking for someone else to jump onto.

- 197 how is the unvote forced?

- 278 "i'd be comfortable being the elimination today... but i'm not "

- 282 i like this post

- 285 "come on talk yourself out of this scumread for me."

- 377 why is loud = town. scum can be loud and still be posting scummy things, this doesn't read for context.

- 379 "i am not sure that this person would do this as this alignment but here is my vote anyways."

- 395 396 397 why ask why someone unvoted if you've already confirmed to yourself what the answer is. doesn't seem good faith.

- 404 part of me is a bit paranoid that votato is getting by easy with everything that's going on but the jailkeep gives me pause to sr this slot.

- 428 might be bias again but could be partner defending partner if quick/tl scum team.

- 455 a good post from quick because while i'm biased from inheriting this slot, yeah, anthony just seems like a cautious player.

my preferred elimination chain is tl -> quick -> votato -> nash today. this is super unorganized but if i tried to go through the entirety of the game my brain would explode so hopefully i can be more coherent from here.

VOTE: town looter

[L-1]

[Ydrasse]

Haha. Nice. Pretty sure Scum PT reads something like this right now: "Get on loot, with Mikul's read on him so strong, it'll be an easy mislynch."

I am happy to walk into the noose because I think, now, we have enough information to win once I flip.

Reads ofc:

• Ydrasse
  getting on me screams of opportunistic eliminating. This bumps the slot right up the scum-o-meter. Although you guys won't see that until my flip.
  
• Nash
  . I think this slot is scum. It's been lurky, it's made scummy posts. Just feels straight up scummy. Can you please fucking focus on Vexo/Nash slot tomorrow?
  
• Like many of you, I have had a niggling feeling that
  LQ
  is town, even though I have been scum reading them for most of the game. I realise this sounds inconsistent AF, but gun to the head, I would probably now say town.
  
• votato is tough, POE suggests town, but they haven't been helpful at all. Their scum record is impeccable, so they play a very good scum game. I think if votato is scum we lose, unless you guys can prove some how Ydrasse or Nash are town.

Conclusion: Ydrasse and Nash are most likely scum team. Although votato could be fucking us. Pretty sure LQ is town.

I am happy to answer any questions, otherwise hammer away.

how is it opportunistic of me? you didn't make an effort to engage with any of my posts or refute them.

if you're town why are you just letting this vote go through instead of making an effort to engage and scumhunt? i get that this day has dragged so there's some fatigue, but fmpov this reads more like a frustrated/disheartened scum player who is trying to last-minute get out of being lynched. which like, i recognize might be because i am sitting here thinking you are scummy from going through the game once but just saying "yeah you guys have enough information go ahead" isn't fun.

can you quote some of nash's scummy posts? our reads list is the opposite right now it seems like and if you're town i want your perspective on this.

[Ydrasse]

@mod: v/la until 7/5

(sorry that it's like immediately after subbing in.)

[Ydrasse]

none of you have even tried to engage me and have simply decided i’m scum.

second guessing or not you should do your due diligence to perhaps figure out how/why i have come to conclusions that i have.

[Ydrasse]

please do because i don’t really have anything to respond to here other than “yeah that’s scum.”

[Ydrasse]

is there really enough based on like, ~10 posts? like, you guys have managed to talk yourselves out of lynching someone who is actually scummy fmpov. the fact that it can be said the poe can go this way without a whole lot of resistance is a sign that mafia is most likely content to take this elimination.

[Ydrasse]

i mean if that’s how it’s gonna be i guess i don’t really have a lot of leeway to change minds which is kind of frustrating. just actually look at what i said if you end up eliminating me.

[Ydrasse]

it’s gonna be vt but thanks.

remember what i said.

[Ydrasse]

i’d probably eliminate quick next.

[Ydrasse]

it’s nbd honestly to me, glad i helped move the game forward!
