Questionable Balcony

[Tayl0r Swift]

hello all! i think its better to out the dethy - its probably not worthwhile for scum to shoot in here since the odds of hitting a sane cop are 1/5 and the odds of hitting a fellow scum are 1/5. itll give everyone else a lot more info to go on and will significantly reduce the size of the lunchbox.

[Tayl0r Swift]

You remember Bro reaching out to you because he thought you'd get the reference to a game you two had played?

That's when we waded in and started stomping people who were running him up.

Truthfully? No.

You think scum won't try to kill/fuck with cops? Also traditional dethys are 4 cops 1 goon; if we out the dethy and the traitor doesn't have daytalk then we're wasting a valuable opportunity.

i mean i think the odds of hitting PR are no higher inside the dethy than outside. what exactly is the opportunity?

[Tayl0r Swift]

If the traitor doesn't have daytalk, scum doesn't know about the dethy. If scum doesn't know about the dethy, we can work unmolested. And far better odds we figure out who's town in a 4:1 than a 1x:x.

Nice crumb, by the way. You scum?

yes that crumb that quoted one of us and was set up so that everyone in this PT would notice it but others might not definitely was me reaching out to my scumbuddies.

Spoiler:

actually it was just me joining the existing crumb

[Tayl0r Swift]

My question is, Taylor, why did you feel the need to bring that up and further crumb? I know why ffery did it. I don't know why you did it, and I particularly don't know why you felt the need to throw the traitor bit in there, especially after we'd agreed (three of us have, anyways) that bringing up the dethy aint a thing we wanna do yet.

it doesnt reveal the dethy at all, and when i saw the crumb i assumed we should all crumb. i kinda feel like revealing the dethy is a better play here, but ill defer to you all since im new. i think the risk is low and the info revealed is small but the reward is very high.

It does if you're clever, and ffery beat Cabd over the head with it. He ain't stupid most days. And what bothers me about your crumb is the traitor bit. Why did you crumb the traitor specifically? What's the very high reward?

completely removing 5 people from todays lunchbox and then having an almost guaranteed lunch day 3 or 4, after which you have 4 ICs. if i overplayed im sorry, i didnt realize it would be so obvious to cabd?

[Tayl0r Swift]

now youre beat up and old!

[Tayl0r Swift]

(that was a crumb that im a goon and im gonna beat you up)

[Tayl0r Swift]

ok ill leave the cryptography and crumbing to the experts and just do normal dayplay

[Tayl0r Swift]

yeah im not really sure about midway but i have some concerns about cabd. you people know him better though.

[Tayl0r Swift]

and you dont think ffery and cabd is S-S without daytalk passing messages?

[Tayl0r Swift]

fferry would be the traitor, why are you assuming the traitor is in the scum PT?

[Tayl0r Swift]

is jake typically this unhelpful? why isnt jake talking to us?

[Tayl0r Swift]

VOTE: jake

[Tayl0r Swift]

i havent played with most of this playerlist except in FGO, and i dont know who is who. the only people i can really be helpful with are pooky and gamma, and i dont know if i can read gamma very well. pooky im not sure about because hes always doing gimmicks. im pretty new to the site so meta is a bit light from me.

[Tayl0r Swift]

is it worth putting much effort into trying to solve the traitor today? wont night actions do the job for us? im a bit iffy on going after ourselves today.

i guess it follows that its wrong to out the dethy anyway. so i guess im on board with hiding the info for now.

[Tayl0r Swift]

eh i should just let the rest of you handle the mech stuff.

[Tayl0r Swift]

FoS ffery for ignoring my question in the main thread

[Tayl0r Swift]

I think we should solve for the traitor ASAP, since we don't know whether they might be able to forward info to their scumchat if/when they join it.

this TMIs that the traitor isnt already in the scum PT. and of course we should solve it ASAP. the question is whether its worth trying to solve it right now via dayplay which would then require us to tell the thread and expose ourselves while we also put ourselves in the lunchbox, or if we watch and then look at night results to narrow it down.

[Tayl0r Swift]

Your thoughts, ffery?

I like Taylor's paranoia. So yeah, right now he'd be my guess. I don't think Tammy has hit unreproducible town notes, but I like her energy so far.

It's really early days, though.

he being jake here?

[Tayl0r Swift]

FoS ffery for ignoring my question in the main thread

That was a serious question? Lemme go answer it then!

if it wasnt serious i wouldnt ask it!

[Tayl0r Swift]

go to bed, tammy!

[Tayl0r Swift]

It's not an in-thread-masons level read, but I like him for town.

subtle

[Tayl0r Swift]

im not really mocking, just giggling.

[Tayl0r Swift]

the game is confirmed not to have third parties or multiball

[Tayl0r Swift]

mmm agreed. i think we're better off seeing what happens tomorrow and then re-evaluating. its not right to out atm.

pedit it seems we settled on that already

[Tayl0r Swift]

i think its ok for us to defend jake a bit and help keep him from getting run up if we can, at least for today

[Tayl0r Swift]

well now im just being lurky. i need to sit down and catch up on the game, and i promise ill do so tomorrow.

[Tayl0r Swift]

fwiw town!me is sometimes lurky and disengaged, but scum!me never is.

[Tayl0r Swift]

that isnt really a trust tell, im not intentionally lurking here and i promise ill catch up. ive just been busy and this game has a lot of pages.

[Tayl0r Swift]

jake im fine with duking it out with you, but for at least today lets do it in this thread please. ive been pulling my punches on you (as in not even throwing them) in the main thread.

[Tayl0r Swift]

your responses in the thread really read to me like youre signalling something. "DIG HERE, SCUM!" i guess i appreciate you not being aggressive at least, but the way youre answering is like you want more attention called to the two of us and want a wagon on one of us. thats what we're trying to avoid.

[Tayl0r Swift]

but we agreed that we didnt want to out the dethy today.

[Tayl0r Swift]

heh it wouldnt be the first time someone got annoyed with my approach and assumed scum. its never happened when i was scum though.

[Tayl0r Swift]

i mean fair enough, its been a lot of posts and ive struggled to get involved in the game. chalk it up partly to the game being dominated by the 2012 cohort and im having trouble figuring them out? the same thing happened in FGO.

[Tayl0r Swift]

yeah but i still struggled in just the same way i am here. ive never struggled in the same way as scum, but sometimes do as town. that said, when people scumread me it usually helps me get engaged. the pressure and direct engagement is good. usually i float when i feel like a spectator watching through foggy glass, where things are happening around me but i cant quite see everything. sometimes i need pressure to help break that glass.

[Tayl0r Swift]

thats all fine - i just dont think engagement is the right margin to sort me on.

[Tayl0r Swift]

why isnt tammy posting? should we get a prod on tammy?

[Tayl0r Swift]

i dunno, there were some posts that really make me want to sort bell as town, but i just dont think i can given the body of posting as a whole.

[Tayl0r Swift]

i really hate that the 2012 people just automatically scumread me for being different rather than trying to engage and sort me. thats two games in a row. the things you scumread me for are honestly disrespectful.

[Tayl0r Swift]

you took something NAI and scumread me for it without talking to me about it. i made it pretty clear what was going on. you made no effort to engage with me. id wish you luck but fuck this town tbh.

[Tayl0r Swift]

disagree strongly.
