WAIT POOKY WAS THE RECRUITER?
AND HE DIDN'T PICK ME?
VOTE: POOKYVOTE: POOKYVOTE: POOKY

I believe our date on the beach ended up being quite an amazing experience. I shall treasure it always.

Dance with me Isis?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Dance with Pooky

I'm happy beyond words

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Isis can you hear my soulsong now?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Not yet Pooky

Can you not feel my happiness emanating from my nose as I punch out these words on my keyboard?

My heart is pure and my joy flows forth like a river.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

yup. :3

my hands cant quite reach the keyboard.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Can you teach Pandora to type with her nose that sounds even cuter

Pandora is a civilized cat goddess and would never stoop to typing with her nose.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

hi tweetie-love. i feel awful still about that game. I will make it up to you and correctly read you this time and all other times and you just be your radiantly townie self

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

If we vote Isis and pretend we think she's really suspicious then Pooky is going to be super worried than we legitimately plan to lethal her. Then he's going to be distraught and will obvtown hard. I like your thinking Infinity.

Not really got an opinion either way on TGP yet. I want to move my vote off Pooky.

VOTE: Gypyx

g'night

you are cruel

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Hm, would Pooky actually betray Isis if he was bad. Would he start the game like that. That's a good question.

Isis and Infinity seem ok so far.

my track record as S/T vs Isis is abysmal.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

the idea that I am capable of fooling Isis-town as scum is quite laughable.

You see, she can hear my soulsong and it is impossible to hide from her.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Gloria is not a Flavor Leaf Alt?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

is trq drusilla?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

oh my the skill level in this game is off the charts ! :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

pls townlock me jessie. my heart is pure as the first snow flowers of winter.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Ydrasse do that townie thing you do when you are town.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

uh oh

tiredness is a sign of scumminess with u :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

maybe they are a court jester

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i am probably the worst solver here :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i dont think the comment at ydra is that solvey :3

r u trying to pockit me? its easier with a good song. i like ballads.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i never sleep when i’m town

you are not

tired

when you're town. there is this sweet innocent enthuiasm that shines through.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

uh if you are trying to songpockit me you have to pick the song dear :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

poooooky it’s hidden away. deep down. my exhaustion guards it

I will have to wait for the morrow then... fais de beaux rêves mon chéri!

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I am an insomniac. I am cursed to wander sleepless.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I think you know :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I am following Mushs guidebook on reading you. :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Isiiiiiiiiiis

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

hello skitter! i promise to not flail like an idiot this time!!

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I've been trying to learn piano through youtube videos but I am quite bad. I do know Hectic is an excellent pianist so we should be set for the wedding!

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I am following Mushs guidebook on reading you. :3

So I don’t need to bother with the ballads then?

wonderful music is always a plus :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

taylor did you roll red?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Pooky likes piano

Okay Pooky, I searched a bit on YouTube and I hope my efforts to pocket you are sufficient.

Spoiler:

If this isn’t good enough for you than you will have to give me some input. Either that or I will actually have to metadive you for that.

i havent listened to it yet but I love it already. thank you.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

hmm isis's focus on me being serious in rvs is weird but that's a recent playstyle thing of mine and i think more information can be gleaned out of a few opening posts, specifically interactions, and i am liking hopkirk's posting enough to townlean him; both taylor and flea felt off at that point but my flea read is now at dead null

did not know gloria was an alt but that explains a bit
hmm VOTE: isis that's a really off thing to focus on your part

pedit: jesus christ this game is moving fast

theres almost no way isis is red this game

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

When I dance with her I can see into her heart and it is beautiful and pure.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

pedit: jesus christ this game is moving fast

can you explain this comment?

your answer might determine if you live or die here.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Isis is very good at faking being natural

she is scary scary good

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

However the fact that she accepted my dance proposal immediately means she can't be bad here!

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I have read a lot of Isis games, she is very good at moving enthusiasm from one part of her brain to another part of her brain.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

ok I'm just saying she is not somebody you can tone-read accurately.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

It’s not your fault Gloria. Your team was not even playing. <3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

my scum record vs Isis is getting yeeted on day 1 every time and Isis is here so you don't have to worry about Scum!Pooky

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

aww that's unfortunate.
I will miss T-Swizzle.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Tweetie can you not hear my heart sing out with joy in this game?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Spoiler: For Princess Gloria

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

yes

my heart sings out with joy

it dances across the sky

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

how can I not be happy

Isis accepted my dance proposal :3

She must be good here ~!

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I felt so bad I was yelling at Bulge in the scum discord for making me do this ! :[

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

no defending him because his d2 entrance was soooo bad

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

What misfortune has befallen Lux to be replaced by this scary looking pirate? :O

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

is it time to scum-hunt my dear?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

pooky. pooky promise me that you're town this game. i need you to be town

By the moon, the stars, and the ever changing wind.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Sorry I don't have a read on Pooky yet.

As much as Pooky wants to paint me as an oracle, I nullread him for like 400 of his posts or something ridiculous in Matrix

I think you only did that because you enjoyed watching me suffer :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

listen to your heart

it knows I am good

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

We have a worryingly large townbloc for so early on but ehh

This seems to be a strange thing to worry about

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

If infinity flips red here this might mean our entire townbloc is green

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

It means there’s likely scum in the townbloc.

Size and Quality are different things

btw who are you defining as part of the townbloc right now?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

God, I’m actually paranoid enough to be worried about this. I just wish someone other than Pooky had made this post and the reason is his paranoia on Isis, who seems pretty obviously town.

?

I'm not paranoid about Isis.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

"Like imo it's the opposite, if scum did pregame choices, it's more likely that jessie is scum"

What does this quote mean Gypyx?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Infinity feels wolfy here

shifting read on Isis due to pressure - feels like not a real read

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

If you get to recruit scumpartners pregame and you don't recruit Jesse you're throwing because she's excellent at scum!
I don't know how Gypyx knows this cause I've never seen them play but they must have played somewhere together, clearly.

It is a strange thought for Gypyx to have no?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

@infinity

um in 302 you said Isis in 301 was openly scumclaiming?


now you are saying 301 is townie sounding?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Basically, i found that scum tends to try to say stuff that they know is true when they can, so if scum did in fact made choices pregame, i lean strongly towards scum!jessie

why would scum say something they know that the town doesn't know?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Maybe not?

I wish I could trust Pooky here.

You can trust me

I would never be bad in a game that Isis agrees to dance with me.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I can also do a handstand if you need it.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Lol I was memeing since she hasn’t posted cat pics this game

It felt like a natural reaction in a situation where scum is a bit more likely to be awkward.

Lol I was memeing since she hasn’t posted cat pics this gameIt felt like a natural reaction in a situation where scum is a bit more likely to be awkward.

What felt like a natural reaction?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

lolwut?

It's how Hectic convinces Isis he is town when she starts getting suspicious of him.

It's a little harder for me because my arms are so short but I can manage it because I hardly weigh a thing.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Idk it's just a pattern that i've noticed, like i guess it could be that they want to be "the guy who was right" or smthing

Um being right about something that town wouldn't have a good reason to know is kind of suspicious no? Why would Jessie do that?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

don't worry Gloria

Isis has 100% success rate on reading scum-me and she's dancing with me so she knows I'm good :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

301

301 felt like a natural reaction to what?

why did it feel natural?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

she townlocked me when she agreed to dance with me

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I mean she might not realize it in her head yet but she knew I was town as soon as she accepted the dance :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

It felt like a natural reaction to having your meta be talked about. I’m not really sure why, I think scum may have felt the need to self-meta directly in order to look town. Idk

Why is that reaction a natural reaction to having your meta be talked about?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

@Infi

It feels like you just made something up and now are struggling to justify it because it wasn't a real thought to begin with.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I'm pretty sure Ydra is close to like 99% town here

her paranoia on my slot feels extremely real

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

My heart is pure like summer rain.

Like a lover's tears upon a lake.

Like a goose learning how to fly for the first time.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

ok when I said I had a mysterious townread on Ydrasse everyone was supposed to go "Isis you're so alluring and intriguing please shed enough mystique to show us" so that I get to talk about I wasn't supposed to get strangely townread with no curiousity what is this

Ydrasse is so pure and innocent that when you post a "mysterious townread" on her, everyone just looks and goes "huh yea I can see that's pretty much true"

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Pooky I told Infinity what I needed and that's what he gave me but for you it seems like a struggle

M'lady if you could but shed a bit of mystery it would bring my hear the greatest joy to know you but a bit more.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

That was for infinity not for the bear I had to ask for something twice

this clarification was extremely unnecessary.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

You hurt my feelings

I would never hurt your feelings

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I apologize for my most grievous mistake (｡╯︵╰｡)

please allow me to make it up to you.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Don't worry Gloria.

I will obv-town so hard that the bad guys will have no choice but to murder me at night :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

In Hideyoshi, Pooky’s play was very logical where as Bulge’s made absolutely no sense. He was scumreading me for being the only one trying to stop the wagon on town!Brooks even though he knew there was absolutely no way we could have been aligned but Pooky cleverly spun that as Bulge kind of playing like some kind of idiot savant who was clueless about the gamestate.

he was kind of clueless about the game state. I was not lying about that :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I don't think she makes me promise to be town to her if she is scum

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i'm gonna be honest when i woke up this morning there were like 8 pages of meming and i skimmed a lot of it so i don't even remember that happening, or most of what she wrote
but u feel p confident on that ^?

I guess I feel her worry about me being red is real,

I'm not as 100% as I am that it's real like Gloria but in my experience I haven't seen Ydra-Scum fake concern like that before.

And I don't see the point of her asking me to promise to be town here is. When she says:

"pooky. pooky promise me that you're town this game. i need you to be town"

and

"pooky i don't know who you are as town only as scum ..................... im scared"

I take her at her word that these are real feelings she has.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I like how Hectic games just meld together

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

actually if Gloria is who she might be I might be more scared of her because she's pocketed me in a previous life :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

but yea it feels like we are in a Town!Gloria world

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

? I said its very real !

see 594

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I am sorry to have hurt you . you know that <3

*flops tweeties ears*

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Why though? That game was beautiful.

I will never doubt your townie heart again.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

fair enough!

i also don't have much experience with her, and her playstyle is not one i'm particularly good at reading

~

Remember that time we thought she was town and then she turned into a monster and annihilated us under a wall?

good times :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

yes she was :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

that game she was much closer to her scum meta than her town meta and it probably had to do with how mech-heavy the game was.

i was more joking about the person who replaced her :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

skitter do you want to do some big brain speculation on what the setup/story actually is?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

from what I know of Hectic.

He really loves twists, romance, and nontraditional narrative arcs.

so here are some guesses that went through my head about what is actually going on.


The Princess does not want to be married - She does not love her suitor whom she has been promised to, she sees the evil in his heart - he loves not her but power.

The food was stolen for a trip away from the Castle for she will be traveling many leagues to find a New World where she can be safe and free.

She has disguised herself among the castle workers and will recruit those she trusts to help her with her quest - now since a Princess cannot be a

Villain

- I think she is something of the equivalent of a Delayed IC and we are playing something fairly close to a Mountainous Game.

The evil prince has dispatched his henchmen to search for her as he has noticed she is missing from her quarters - the villains seek to stop her escape and wish the wedding to go ahead as planned - they have evil in their hearts - they hope to capture her.

Mech Speculation

After the initial 2 launches, we will have the Princess be revealed as an IC, she will try to form a coalition of 6 that she can trust - this will end in a town victory if it is successful, if not we will move into the Ball Room for a dance game where players will pair up into lover neighborhoods.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

that's true

I'll miss her too

but at least I can flop your ears for her <3

*flops ears*

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Sometimes people are gone, but their memory lingers...

I choose to see the beauty.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Pooky circling back to this, why is infinity all the way down here? I'm kinda townreading him

Also ur speculation seems really cool! But would the princess br aligned with town?

I think she would be.

I don't see Hectic making her an anti-town role but I could be wrong here :3

I did not like 377 from Infinity.

It feels like he is not happy about how fast the townblock has grown :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Yeah but why does scum!Infinity voice that unhappiness? surely it'd be leagues better to like, attack the townreads directly rather than just voice dissatisfaction with it

maybe he felt better to pump the brakes and express distrust rather than attack someone specifically?

I would've been way happier with him if he had actually pointed to someone being townread by everyone that seemed to him that they shouldn't be town-read rather than a general statement of dissatisfaction.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

"We have a worryingly large townbloc for so early on but ehh"

and

"It means there’s likely scum in the townbloc."

makes me feel like he is not talking about just his personal reads but our actual townbloc.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

and even if there was like 1 scum inside an 8 person townblock, you still flip outside where you have better odds of hitting bad guys.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

p-pooky... you are town?

By the tide, the surf and the waves.

By where the sea kisses the sky.

By all the sunsets in the east.

By the smell of salt on the wind.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

@Pooky- is there any reason to think the princess isn't just evil.

I would be tremendously sad if Hectic made the princess evil.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I will dayvig Pooky the next time he says this game's plot is not about a wedding between me and Morning Tweet (who so far seems like a town bride but if it turns out she's scum there will still be a wedding it will just be even more forbidden)

This is not very nice

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

and finally, i really like this from gypyx, because unless he's been working this entire time to drop key pieces of scum information in a WIFOM play, if his mechanical speculation is correct, it calls HIMSELF out.

Yes,

this is why I am scum-leaning him as un-selfaware scum.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

but ONLY setup speccing on d1 with literally no information on a game that is known to be complex and have twists and turns without a single read on a player in the game is terrible.

this reads very wolfy

VOTE: TGP

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I have a townlean on hopkirk because he's playing very much like how TownHopkirk played in Matrix and I don't see the incentive for him to tell me to obvtown if he's red.

Skitter is special, I think she takes a more aggressive tack here if she is red but I could be wrong? I've never played with scum!skitter.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

oh

i will have to read your posts again then :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I dunno what you think of both of them.

it feels like you are comfortably curious.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I'm pretty sure Isis would be #1 choice to be recruited.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I would recruit you 100% of the time

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

That was literally our first game together you can't blame me for that

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I would say with no doubt that I would recruit you over pretty much anyone else.

Whereas you would only put me on a d20 and allow me to suffer as I roll around in agony :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

You would recruit Ydrasse
that is what you have shown me

but I never played with you before that time

and I also didn't know Ydrasse hates playing scum

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Hectic, does this post mean anything to you? viewtopic.php?p=12109857#p12109857
Because by the way it predates SS2 and it means nothing to PookyTheMagicalBear.

ok marathon games are completely different than actual games.

and I was really really drunk that game :[

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

The same way I mean nothing to PookyTheMagicalBear. Absolutely nothing.

You can't believe that. You must be messing with my heart again.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I can't believe I played a game with you and Hectic and completely forgot about it

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

VC on this page.

I really took the "drunk" part of drunk mafia very seriously

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I'm a freighter-full ironically hurt that you forgot but also a thimble-full unironically hurt that you forgot.

What can I do to make up for this pain? Your thimble is like a mountain to me.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Convince gungho to add Bride Isis to next year's annual wedding versions of characters event

I am busy learning Japanese so I can call them and demand this for next June's event.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I did some research when writing up my request to their Customer Service Dept.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

can you work this into your theory somehow pooky? pretty please?

I can't say no to you.

How would you like to be cast?

Princess
Hero
Forbidden Love
Amnesiac Princess
Secret Lost Princess
Unlikey Hero
Villain

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

which type of princess? you have to specify.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

well, per the op, all town players are vanilla, so i'm not sure how accurate your theory is, but i like the creativity!

I did not see that.

Well I guess I will have to adjust the Princess role to "Lost Amnesiac Princess" who thinks she is a VT then!

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I've never seen Hopkirk play scum.

I kind of assume by now he's affected by Hectic's supreme town aura.

Or there's just a magical force shield over England that keeps the boys over there from getting red pms.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

That's a weird thing to say.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i expect we will be playing silent star 15 and isis will still be giving me a hard time about not recruiting her in SS2 :[

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

yes

i agonized about whether to recruit you for an hour before i asked hectic for a playerlist and found out you were not playing.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

ok but why would he know that having information > scum

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

ok but why would he know that having information > scum

? do you have information?

nope

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

so do you think it is alignment indicative if other people have information?

yes.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

why would he know the scum have information to begin with?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I dont think thats as obvious as you are making it out to be and that is probably because you are much smarter than me :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

vote tgp with us dear

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

his iso is super short so it wouldnt take more than 5 min to read

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

she will kill so many dragons Tweetie.

it will be glorious.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

he's pretty slow to townread me when we're T-T

Excuse me but I have you solved 3 minutes into this game with a dance proposal :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I wouldn't let not getting a role pm stop me from posting in a Hectic game with all my favorite people

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

this playerlist is amazing.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

fleas hammer game is v strong if they can hammer a e2 player.

well you can use a parachute if you want but I know how to fly so I don't need one

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I freaking love this I'm saving this :3

I feel intense jealousy because I've played with Isis like so much longer but I've never seen her say anything half as nice to me.

Also you are awesome

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

what makes gypyx scummy?

his last post is:

"Ok i'm here catchup time"

and that was a day ago?

I feel like we might need to send out a search party soon.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Isis you are definitely a goodie goodie right?

I ordered a dozen dragons from Costco and if you are bad we will have problems later.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i'm having a bad mental health day. i will try to be here later tonight but we will see

*HUGS* feel better skitter!!! *HUGS*

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Pooky I wanted to slay any such dragons as were menacing or kidnapping Morning Tweet not kill extra dragons for sport!

There are literally no dragons in this Castle so I ordered some in bulk after you said you wanted to kill them to prove your love for Tweetie.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I looked through matrix decipher to try to find a counterexample of me saying a nice thing about Pooky but I didn't find anything

I have a very good memory despite forgetting a game completely.

If you said anything half as nice to me I would've remembered it.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

she is marrying tweetie tho :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I think Costco doesn't sell demons because some religious folks made a big stink about it a few years ago.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

wait is tweetie actually fidget? this would explain a lot of things.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

can you explain those 2 reads?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Can you just summarize it again? Just the key points would be fine thanks :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

What if we are in the world with a scum flagbearer and that's what the delay in the pre-game was rather than just Hectic stalling because Death Curse hadn't finished yet?

What if the flagbearer was actually a lamp-bearer?

What if inside the lamp was a Genie who had magical powers such as the ability to nightkill?

What if Dunnstral is holding the lamp and TGP's silly charade is to keep his friend Dunnstral safe?

Tweetie do you see where I'm going with this? ~.~ ~.~

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

you shouldnt take my wild ramblings seriously tweetie. but it would be cool if it turned out to be true :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

so like, when asked why is gypyx mafia, why would the reasoning be, oh his last post is 'catchup time' a day ago when that isn't like a '!!! definitely mafia!!!' thing

i dont think its a "definitely mafia" thing. i do find it easier to say things when im town than when im mafia tho.

when people are unable to say much i find it scummy.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

could you explain pooky's post to me please

do you want me to explain it :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

yes please. if you could also include a mental map of how you got there that'd be +++

i just realized when i went back to get the link that you posted that picture not hectic lololol

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Spoiler: For Jessie

https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p12314822

from this post I searched for the image and found it was from King's Quest VI.

I searched for the plot of the game and found out it was about a Prince rescuing a Princess who is being forced to marry the Evil Vizier in the Land of the Green Isles.

This fit with my original theory about a Princess trying to escape and also the OP image of a castle by the sea on green landscape.

I then started watching Kings Quest VI ending scenes on youtube and in the "best ending" the Vizier commands his genie to kill the hero but his lamp is stolen and he doesn't kill him.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

wait so it is from Hectic then :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Isis have you sorted my slot yet :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

She is really obvtown

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Wait a second are you saying you don't want to solve me because it's more fun to not solve me?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

note to self: never use the lay down and die defense

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

hopkirk,

is Isis town here?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Am I missing something, or is the 'delay' people are talking about something other than the hours that Hectic would have been asleep

He posted at what was already a late time in the UK (fix your sleep schedule Hectic ) and then the game started the kind of time I'd expect him to wake up.

The obvious cause of the delay seems to be that Hectic was unconscious, and I'm fairly sure nobody knocked him out the night before

so you're saying you drugged him?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

VOTE: unvote tgp

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

UNVOTE: TGP

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

jester-masons seems to be stretching it even for a Hectic game.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I think Jester paranoia in general is something more likely to come from scum than town

this feels kinda scummy

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

like who?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I think it's possible that TGP is a jester but honestly I don't think we would lose if we elim'd a jester and there's no incentive for a jester to help us anyway so I don't see why we wouldn't elim him in case there's no jester and he's just scum here.

Playing around a possible Jester is just a pain in the butt.

VOTE: TGP

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

One line of thought is that scum are more likely than town to read play as "jester-ish" because they know who their team-members are and someone who is acting abnormally scummish is more evident to a scum player than say a town player as a result of this.

I maintain town-lean on Jessie due to other things though I have never played with her as scum before.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Here is a recent example:

infinity, you're town, right? can i just sheep you? VOTE: skitter

i think infinity is town here.

Like this is super weird?

Why is he voting Skitter here, does he actually think she is scum or scummy? he makes no case for skitter!scum in 1225-1230. Looking through his ISO I don't see any case for skitter being red at all. he only mentions 1 sentence about her and it's:

"i think skitter is the best lim tomorrow based off infinity and isis' posting (the latter who i don't have as locktown but presents fairly good arguments against skitter anyways)"

Like what reasoning does he find impressive? What reason does he have to want to elim her?

Originally he didn't like Dunn and wanted Dunn elim'd but now he's moving to Skitter from Dunn so where is the progression that takes him there? I don't see anything posted in his ISO that really explains how he is getting from Dunn to Skitter as the best elim today. Here's his progression on Dunn which I found implausible to be real:

687 "so VOTE: dunnstral this slot has been fairly bad from the beginning and has not gotten better."

828 "i mean, it really isn't? i've been scumreading your slot from the start, and you have done absolutely nothing to make it townier."

883 "i find it incredibly interesting that i'm attacked for low-effort voting dunn without a significant amount of reasoning but dunn is not attacked for the exact same thing, which makes me incredibly suspicious that at least one of the people using that line of reasoning are simply chainsawing on an easy argument."

1027 "dunn is probably scum
i'll work on providing a few more reads but i'm ridiculously confident in town gypyx and somewhat confident in scum dunn and i ask that in the second part of d1 upon my flip you get dunn)"

1029 "my scumcase on dunn is admittedly less evidence based but there is a strong opening post/gutread on that slot and i ask you take it into consideration"


1226 "still 1000% confident that gypyx is town, but losing confidence in dunnscum." <<<-- I do not understand this transition - what changed between 1029 and 1226 to make dunn go from "flip this guy after I flip green" to "losing confidence in dunnscum let's kill skitter instead?"

Could it be my absurd idiot theory from 1035 ???

I will LOL if we r really in a Dunn/TGP world and dunn told TGP to change tack because distancing is not giving dunn town cred because its being done so transparently badly.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I’ll respond to pooky and try to squeeze out a few points against skitter tomorrow.

I want TGP to make some points against Skitter that back up his read. because I really do not see anything in his ISO that justifies his read on her.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

This is a towny thought and very relatable to what I’m going through right now.

or he's scum trying to muddy the waters on his way out.

either way its irrelevant as gypyx is not really up for elim today, the focus is on him/skitter right now and he's not really articulated his reasoning for wanting her flipped.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

oops sorry TGP!!

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Why r u not concerned at all that TGP is sheeping you with no justification?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

*dies*

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

hm. this still feels like a bit of an odd coincidence to me. both thegoldenparadox and dunnstral were saying they thought something i was doing was scummy in a general sense and pooky very quickly called them scummy for it.

tbh i didnt even notice those quotes were about you

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

*hugs Isis*

at least you got to dance with Tweetie

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I tried something different in a marathon game today and it really backfired.. sorry Pooky So I'm probably going to sort you town for now.

I don't think that backfires in any setting other than "pooky has to go eat dinner so he can't play"

you can scum-sort or null-sort me, I am fine with it <3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Isssiiiiiiiiiisss

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i think it really might be tgp/dunn

it feels like tgp was ok being elimd if it would give dunn some cred

then they changed tack to target skitter

and now its hard lamist AtE when we call out their change on Dunn.

I'm also incredibly optimistically wrong in horrible ways so im not placing like great odds on this but I don't see myself being willing to like TR TGP at some point given what they are doing.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

were you drunk when you kicked my ass at Prismata?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

infinity do you not think its weird af that TGP would care about us caring about TGP's reads when we don't think they are very good and we are about to yeet TGP for not having reads that make much sense or are backed up by good reasons?

Like why would TGP dying make us think their reads are any better?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

do you get what I'm saying?

If I think a player has bad reads, them flipping green isn't going to make me think those reads are any better.

it feels like TGP is trying to set up some random wifom nonsense for us when they flip red.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Isis are you ok dear?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

just make sure you get lots of water before bed :3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

It’s the emotional reaction to people dismissing their reads that gets me though. Yeah people don’t listen to dead people’s reads (and maybe they should more!) but dying townies often expect/want people to listen to their reads.

they were ok with dying earlier

now they are not ok with dying.

i think their wifom trap backfired in their face.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

well now I have to kill you for calling Isis sweaty

VOTE: Dunnstral

we can kill your buddy tgp tommorrow
