What is the goal of RVS?

a brief phase of shit/fluff posting to get all of that silliness out followed by discussion of initial impressions to get the game started
Interesting.

You and I see RVS very differently, and as I was just telling spayhalf, I'm not sure that it's alignment indicative instead of play style indicative.

To me, RVS is a means to an end, and exiting it as quickly as possible is the primary goal. The best RVS is one that ends on the first page. You see it more as a way to "Get out the lulz" before srsposting begins.
this is the first morphpost that's pinging me huh

I somewhat disagree. You said yourself that bell was obvtown in my last game with you, and his posts seem pretty much the same here, though I do think the duration being less is a valid point.
peddit: that seems contradictory to 248, explain yourself please
I was scum that game with a pr result on bell so im not sure why you're using that as an example. and where's the contradiction?

I don't like what this is framing. I don't know how genuine morph's back-off is (ftr I don't think that is at all what happened here) but the next two lines are kinda icky.

i'll get to that eventually but do feel free to remind me


In post 454, Prism wrote:So I've had thoughts since Page 13 but wanted to give more time to see if I could get some more votes on me for reaction. 6 more pages and more than half the playerlist, it looks like this won't happen unless I just want to AFK even now that I have things to say. Kind of disappointing but there's a limit to how self-indulgent I can be. My thinking was that if I'm not going to be useful any other way, I might as well just see what happens if I played openly dismissive. Of the playerlist, I've only played with FL and I barely noticed him either time, meaning I couldn't really open the way I like to. I was really disappointed Morph didn't tag onto the vote given their previous interest, then realized they apparently want to sync their vote, but then still didn't swing it even when the other came around so alas.

Both Bulge and Ffery misinterpreted those posts, by the way. I was never bored/apathetic of the game. I was extremely interested and eager to see what would result.
I don't think I misinterpreted anything I think I called you out pretty clearly?

It doesn't even assume morph-town, it just assumes that there is a town motivation that morph is playing to-- either actually being town, or just trying to build a narrative that looks town. Muffin is arguing that their scum method for appearing town is "ask random questions without thinking about whether those questions actually relate to anything" but my argument is that even if they are scum, they were probably playing to a deeper reason than that, and thus his argument isn't compelling.

the second part was a general statement supporting the first part. the line as a whole means I think it is somewhat scummy to lament about hydrae in-thread instead of just playing the game and sorting them, but perhaps not so scummy coming from someone who has never played with a hydra before.

You think it's scummy because it's distracting? Or, why did it matter that it was distracting?
I'll preface by saying that this could very well be a posting-style thing. i'm also having a hard time putting this to words so apologies if this is not well-explained

also
this is a literal nothingburger and a distraction attempt/lamist garbage, my SR on you just deepened
context. the post before this was originally separated into 5 or 6 different tabs. i decided to not make 5 or 6 different posts in catchup. this didn't feel like it fit lumped in with my other points so i kept it separate.

lamist how?

I see. It was a little more nuanced than "hydra bad"-- "look" was the key word there, because I was referring to the confusion that the hydras had caused thus far (as I referenced later). In my opinion, it's a legitimate grievance, and it's still causing confusion. So what makes it scummy?
I don't know how much of my opinion here hinges on the buddying theory tbh. it's a backburner read for now but
in general
, complaints like that are an easy way for scum to appear to be producing game-related content, when in reality they are actively stalling useful discussion.

i don't solve day 1. i solve by reading over and over and over and making sure in advance that those re-reads have real content and reactions for me to look into.

ie, by following up on scumpings, questioning slots indiscriminately, asking off-kilter direct questions, participating in discussion, etc etc, all very rudimentary day 1 townplay.

Any scum reads? Why?

Go.

1. Morph.

Bell, is this the basis for your read change on midway?
From town to null, yup.
that only really makes sense to me if your reasons for townreading him are contradicted by his refusal to play along. why are you so sure of your expectations?

Thanks for helping me realize that just because a player does a thing doesn’t necessarily mean what he was gunna do is alignment indicative even if disinterest is scum indicative for him.

You say if your vote was random you would have picked a more interesting target, but then you brush it off as a random joke and your prism vote was random?
ah. you misunderstood. my vote was not at all random, my response to morph asking if it was random was a joke.

gameplay question for you +j, would you ever shift a scumread right across the board to a townread or vice versa simply based off of a single post or interaction? or would there always be a 'null' buffer zone in between?

How much of his play do you remember? You remember his early D1 where I kept having to get him to do things?
to be fair! I think my level of engagement with a game thread is affected by 1)my mood any given day and 2)how much fun I am having in that game, far far above any other factor. incidentally I'm only having fun if I feel like I'm onto something. so if i'm scum having a hard time making content yea it's cuz i can't find any opportunity to snag, but you'll see the same behaviour as town if I'm not keeping up with a game properly and have no leads.

casual or not, you've come across to me as a lot less filtered and more open, with more town motives shining through than before. So yeah
hmmm maybe i need to dial it back....

it might take a while for that to even become a thing that scum knows about unless someone immediately mentions "X posted Y"
Something about these posts felt like scum taking some sort of action to help herd the gamestate and create another mindset. It could be defending partner Alisae, or defending townieAlisae.
April can be town for completely ignoring context and jumping the gun on a ping from a misreading in a way that doesn't look fabricated

the agenda thing i think is more playstyle than alignment, April was pretty open about this being his MO

1) I don't feel like that's what I said. do you really think that's what I said?

There is definite potential scum motivation here to clear a buddy; I was asserting that I didn't think it was likely to have happened in that way; I think it's incredibly more likely than the first alternative I mentioned.

2) Even if I said I was dismissing both of those possibilities, why would I
not
include my thought process about it?

I'm leaning town on bulge; i want to know what was going on w/ because 'why leave the reasoning as to why you decided this was town and not scum elevating a buddy' seems like a stupid thing to say and i'm dichotomous as to what he was going for when he said it
I was talking about your conclusion in the first line. it's fine to leave in your thought process. but the wording and tone you use to explain the possibility of SvS mirrors the previous line about SvT, leading me to believe you find the two roughly equivalent in terms of likeliness. so I'll ask again

your reasoning tells me you rank the possibilities something like Tv?>>>SvS>SvT, so why is it being presented in the first line of as Tv?=SvS>>>SvT


if your dichotomy does not include "he is concerned I am setting up for a readflip on his slot" as an option then it is not accurate

In post 1935, April Ludgate wrote:Here’s the difference between why Zmuffin is town and Morph is scum.

When Zmuffin got targeted as scum, they flipped out, and kept pushing the same thing, without agenda, really.

Morph, as the highest town read, can’t comprehend why anyone could scum read them, and “literally laughed out loud”. That is a discredit play.

Someone who is that universally town read Day 1 should never question being an idea tinfoil paranoia scum read, even if it isn’t true.

If anything, me scum reading Morph if they are town would help them survive Night kills.

This is why Morph is scum, short reason, anyways.
is any of this proof of morph scum?

I think we’re TvT or you’re scum who played me yesterday. Either way, I think it makes sense for where your stance on Morph is.

It’s just really important to me that you use the word equity right.
Based on the fact that Morph is fully capable of being town leader as scum, alongside the fact that the overall gamestate feels like scum is going with the flow, which a town leader very much can, and they end up being like the decider vote, on top of knowing that Cabd is definitely the type of player that can excel in a spot like that as scum, and seeing it from the perspective, I feel it’s like blatantly obvious to me that Morph is scum. Their scum equity is crazy high compared to that of like Zmuffin, who oh my wow, is prob town.

I’m still figuring out how to show you guys they are scum, and there lies the issue.

It’s one of those situations where I know they’re scum, and because there literally isn’t enough info, I can’t prove it, and they know it, and they know I know it, and can’t do anything about it.

So this is all me trying to do something about it. Even if I fail, they’ll know I was coming. Ya feel me, dudes?
Thanks for this. Now I know where to put my time.
I recommend you just try to push me as scum.

But wait, I’ll counter. I’m playing with such confidence because I shall claim the cliché, I will be able to be Conf town come Day 3.

If I’m ever alive late game, and not confirmed, kill me instantly. It just isn’t a possibility this game.

Unlucky for scum this game.

I only seemed vague if people thought I came out of nowhere.

Morph definitely did not. They saw the path building up, and mentioned it as soon as it passed a line.

Look at the difference. I did the same thing to Plus and Prism, plus eventually questioned me in an extremely confused way.

Prism didn’t acknowledge then replaced out, which happened after I threw a vote down, might I add. They didn’t come back after my vote was on them with Plus.

I don’t believe I make assumptions about how scum act, I just have researched and deep analyzed about how scum DO act.
I am seriously doubting the efficacy of your skills of "reading the gamestate" if you are so completely unable to remove yourself from the centre of it?

You’re all over the place. But you’ve said already that you’re more consistent as scum and you’re trying to work on that.

Is this the game you’re working on it, or did you just roll town?
Let me get one thing clear,

I don’t give 2 damns about any of y’all town reading me. I am town, and I am sharing my unfiltered thoughts, no matter what, post game, that is a fact.

Oh, i don’t really try to work on anything in regards to scum anymore, it’s just how I wanna play things.

I am town here, and I have been putting on blast that townies need to take more overall action too.

Like I said, I will find a way to confirm myself this game
, so there is no worry about me endgaming as scum here. I’ll make that a certainty for you, sweet Bell.
forgot to include this in . see bolded.

When Zmuffin got targeted as scum, they flipped out, and kept pushing the same thing, without agenda, really.

Morph, as the highest town read, can’t comprehend why anyone could scum read them, and “literally laughed out loud”. That is a discredit play.

Someone who is that universally town read Day 1 should never question being an idea tinfoil paranoia scum read, even if it isn’t true.

If anything, me scum reading Morph if they are town would help them survive Night kills.

This is why Morph is scum, short reason, anyways.
is any of this proof of morph scum?
Okay, guys, you saw what I did with Prism and Plus, then you saw what I did with Zmuffin...

I feel at least some sort of trust should be established in regards to this kinda thing by now.
You ignored my question and I really have no idea what you are saying here

I see what you're trying to say now.

The [Tv? or SvS] thing was the first thing that occurred to me and then I tried to dig into the branching paths of what such a thing meant. [TvX ~= SvS] was not a conclusion I feel I ever tried to present.
leading me to believe you find the two roughly equivalent in terms of likeliness.
I am explicitly stating here that that isn't what I was trying to convey.

(I still also feel like that was pretty clear based on the conclusion of the post and I kind of feel like you're trying to subtly accuse me of being disingenuous)
I interpreted your post as having the conclusion in the first line, followed by an explanation.

You have a surface level way of thinking about it all.

I have a proven track record of town success, just because you can’t understand it, doesn’t mean that it doesnt bring success.

Your surface level of thinking, if you are town here, is a weak spot of your game. I laid down the path of dealing with me this game and laid limitations for myself so that everyone could trust me more. Scum see that later in the game you won’t be able to deal with me, so they have to act now.

This is one reason I’m leaning Alisae over you. I can see you having that surface level town thinking in this situation.
obviously i see you're doing "something" I'm calling it dumb and antitown at best, and your reaction and wherever your theatre is now going are making me reconsider. and who is claiming to understand your method? what does discrediting my town play even do for you here? i mean if that's how you win your arguments cool

Just cuz you can’t comprehend it, doesn’t make it anti town.

If you think for any moment that I won’t try my hardest to catch scum and do whatever I feel necessary to figure out and counter manipulate the game state, you crazy.

again, just words. I can say "day vig me if I'm not rocking a full frontal of Danny Trejo as my avatar by Night 2", but who the fuck is gonna listen? if April were actually a PR I am sure he is an experienced enough player to avoid the first couple elims/NKs in some way besides claiming out of the blue. If anything, this should obviously make it more likely for him to be NKd, no matter how much he says that scum will keep him alive no matter what until day 3. because again. what makes scum think we are going to all play along with April's game? if he's an invest obviously they want to deal with that
before
he gets results? regardless of any dumb ultimatum? nobody is buying it, so nothing he is saying is based in reality.

April should be self-aware enough to know that just because he said we'll elim him day 3 doesn't mean thats what will go down, and if not out of self-awareness, from the fact that literally nobody is buying it as of right now. so beyond that I'm lost as to his motives. but if I see a bunch of bullshit that doesn't make sense from a player whose head is clearly in the game, I tend to want to string it up.

The only pressure he was under was self-imposed, and I wouldnt call it pressure of Elimination. It was nothing more than the pressure of mass scrutiny, something to which I'm sure boonskiies is well-tempered

Muffin- I’m leaning town? I still liked his early explanation for the townread on me and I haven’t hated anything he’s posted
Prism- liked his early trajectory wrt us
S_S- I’m not hating anything they’ve posted but they’re kinda easy to forget
Joyed-.
Maria- PoE
Ali- PoE/not noticing my scumread on both of them despite my response to them saying anyone scumreading both of them is prob scum is weird and makes me feel like they weren’t interested in scumhunting
I don't get remilia town

I'm frustrated that it sounds like you're trying to shoot down NS' read of me in particular
if ns has an incorrect read of you I would love to shoot it down yes

I hadn't gotten near that part yet so I don't know what is causing you to overreact this way

how is "you're not trying so you're scum" any weaker an argument than "I'm not trying so I'm town"?

a lot of that is how much time I want to be spending on this game vs how much I actually am. I've been meaning to iso you and muffin for days now but the task only becomes more and more daunting as the posts rack up. April's push against you frustrated me in part because I felt it was mistimed and unfounded compared to what I was hoping to bring. even if I had been continuing to develop my suspicions of you up til now, today wouldn't be the time to press you further if I want to do so fruitfully. as for s_s, I started doing something up yesterday and then realized I may be wrong with my read there, so that will need some more attention as well. at the risk of making more empty promises, I am hoping to get some more substantive content out today and to recentre myself in this game.

Probably Town

Secret Tunnel : notty knows what he has to do this game, and he knows he doesn't have to go far out of his way to do it. as scum we'd see a more active approach at immersing himself in the game with this playerlist, instead he's sinking right in without waiting for an invitation. intra-hydra discussion seems good as well.

zMuffinMan : the rigid stance he takes about where he thinks others' reads should be is the most interesting thing here, but this slot needs some more attention from me.



A few odd things

Bell : overall the easiest to get a town feel from but I'm stuck on the midwaybear thing and how easily it went away. otherwise only a small handful of eyebrow-raisers in an otherwise very lengthy and very townvibey iso, probably nothing I'll bother probing for now

Alisae : motives are usually transparent, although that could be a self-awareness thing and NAI. still tonally feels like town to me but the last few pages of lazy defenses under pressure haven't impressed me. don't know what to make of that. probably won't vote here today.



Boonskiies-tier

April Ludgate : intentionally playing hard-to-read or hiding in plain sight; at this point in time I can't really care about how confident my read of this slot is or is not.



Keeping my eye on

Remilia Scarlet : a lot of poking and prodding around, but always along very safe lines of questioning. avoids replicating the "lonely hydra tell" that got ns townpoints but keeps it at arm's length. I'm all for discrediting my own meta as a means of reading me but the way he goes about it in such a meta-heavy playerlist strikes me as odd. spent the better part of the game fence-sitting on my slot, which tbf so did like everyone, but he surveyed the room for some input several times. our latest interaction was especially weird to me because in all our , bork seemed to be happy actively meeting me halfway in terms of how he was communicating, so I didn't expect such an emotional outburst the moment I expressed any sort of doubt about his towniness.

Something_Smart : I found it strangely easy to shift to a townread on this slot just from how our main interaction concluded. I almost forgot about the suspicions I brought up at the start of that conversation. that got me thinking about how s_s has been focused this entire game, it seems, on appearing to be town without making any push that would cause too much disturbance in the greater gamestate.



Cautious :shifty:

morph the cat : there are still a few very specific things I would like to explore with this slot besides a blind iso-dive. the noting of the shifty eyes has been noted for a long time.



Popular Opinions

midwaybear
420 Blaze It : I didn't like Prism's pre-game or entrance at all, but I haven't looked back on them since others have cited those posts for townleans. joining the la-z-wagon of "Probably unsortable atm."

Maid Cafe : Maria was fairly neutral, but I liked her readlist naked as it was. Not a fan of the hydra entrance or anything beeboy has posted so far. I could vote here today.



Confidently Town

PlusJOYED : consistent, open, unabashed, anyone with a serious scumread here is not reading closely. playing more methodically than anyone would ever care to admit if scum.

I just really don't think we're in a town Alisae world. midwaybear actually makes more sense with Alisae, but even then, i would analyze before trying to full push.
why is your read of me so dependent of Alisae's flip? the way you framed the associative certainly doesn't seem like it would work the other way around? especially with your explanation a few posts later? even tho it's in response to a hypothetical scenario where alisae is town, the quoted post doesn't make sense between the two I linked.

I'm really having trouble grokking what you're trying to say here. That i'm deliberately subverting my meta?

Also can you reorganize that this into something that goes by likeliness to be scum? Some of the slots you comment on don't seem like they should be where they are (zmuffin in particular). Hard to tell in groups 4, 5, 6 where you're actually comfortable voting (and +j as a MUST TOWN at the bottom threw off my assumption that these were in order)

What's your beef w/ Maid Cafe in particular it seems like you're giving them a higher requirement to sort themselves into town ("would vote there today") than you are on 420 ("probably unsortable" - i am implying you wouldn't vote there today. feel free to correct that).
not subverting (if I understand your meaning), just downplaying its significance to this game. I'm too lazy to look and link but there are multiple instances of this in your iso.

an ordered list would probably look similar, but with my top 3 scumreads on the bottom instead of plusjoyed.

I don't think the two phrases you quoted are at all related. I have no beef with maid cafe, like I said they are mostly null, but I have much much higher hopes that they will make themselves more readable today or tomorrow than I do for 420.

Your iso tells me...

Scumreads/Not Great Reads: {Maria, Bulge}

Is that an accurate summation of your major thoughts, at present?
saw this, and was impressed/agreed. doesnt seem like this style of quasi-readable posts is going to be coming in with any sort of consistency

the difference being I had an early sr on you that game? I was truly null early here. and if you'll notice, you're far from the only slot I've been cryptic about this game.
