Newbie 2065 | The Backrooms | Endgame

[T3]

Hello

I'm super tired, but glad to see that the game started. I tried to make a post using everyone's name as puns, but I failed. Voting Lukewarm for causing the idea to pop into my brain.

VOTE: lukewarm

*sips t3*

[T3]

What if the scumteam is just wayward and egix and we don't even have to think about anything at all this game. That would be fun

@wayward son

You should get a profile pic so that it is easier for everyone to tell your posts apart from T3 posts.

Same to anyone else who has not posted yet, if you don't have one, get one

denied

Bulge, what particularly stuck out to you about that? What stuck out to me was mostly that it was a brand newbie supposedly having read a bunch of games. This reads to me as if almost fake helpful and as if it was fed by a scumpartner.

Town T3 quite simply does not make this post imo.

Town T3 spends the first half of Day 1 posting vague reads. Like look at the first 4 posts in his iso in every one of the town games I have seen him in:

Spoiler:

1
2
3

These are the ones where he started Day 1, I have played a few games with him where he replaced in, and even in those he is the same way, but I just linked the most similar situations

Now compare that to scum T3

Spoiler:

From my experience early gutreads tend to be from town. Also, this seems to be his first game in a number of years and not what I would expect from a brand newbie.
Demainer's entrance feels very forced, and nothing like 2060 where he came into the game cheerfully, scumread some people. Here he just votes Ivy (in an apparently serious vote) and says he somehow knows she is scum.
VOTE: Demainer

Town T3, shows up, reads the thread, and keeps the thread up to date with his current reads without engaging with those reads a ton. He is much more of a passive player quietly trying to solve by himself.

Scum T3 writes a full length post trying to help a scum read float towards an elimination.

I think that's fair, but you should also note that the Demainer vote was a bus. So your theory only works if I'm scum with Wayward.

[T3]

It's more that I found something to analyze -> analyzed it.
I didn't realize that wayward was reading through old games.

[T3]

And said they read through ols gamesin the signup.

[T3]

Although, T3 almost confirmed by meta analysis on them in post 46. When he looked at how I described his town games vs his scum games, his response was "that's fair" not "you cherry picked those games, that is not always how I play"

Which is why his full response has me really confused. Saying "your meta analysis on me is fair, but you should also think that Wayward Son is scum" is wild. Like the more I think about it the stranger it is tbh. He never says I am wrong in my analysis. He never even says he is not scum. He agrees with my analysis, but then says "your theory only works if I'm scum with Wayward."

Which is a strange connection for a town player to draw between themselves and someone they are scum reading. If he thinks Wayward Son could be scum, then he should know that that is setting himself up to be miselimed Day 2 if Wayward Son does get flipped scum today.

But on the otherhand, if T3 IS scum, then he may know for a fact that Wayward Son is town, and therefore he knows that it is safe to tie his alignment to theirs.

It is a common scum tactic to try and pair either themselves or their partners with a town player. That way, if they town player flips first, it can soft clears the scum player, or on the other hand, if the scum player flips first, it can net the scum team a miselim the next day, helping their partner still secure a victory.

I was pointing out the specific post you mentioned in that game.

This was a terrible joke I had made under 4 hours of sleep and then 4 hours of zoom class in my break.

[T3]

Wayward is lean town.
I like Roden's analysis.

[T3]

I mostly rely on gut analysis to form reads.

What prompted you to say this?

It was a response because lukewarm brought out my meta.

[T3]

I think Lukewarm is town but I can't say why because of ongoing games.

[T3]

I'll be honest, I wasn't even thinking about the fact that I was responding to the person I was voting, I just used a random picker and got Wayward's name

Random is a lame reason to vote for someone IMO. It doesn't really encourage any discussion or have inspire any fear of being lynched. Even the first post of the thread had a reason to vote for someone! So that's my reason to VOTE: Zyla

I'll start off by saying this is such a weird take. Zyla's vote was during RVS, why shouldn't it be random? If anything, trying to give a legitimate reason for votes during RVS feels a bit scummy.

Though I'll admit I don't have a read on Zyla yet. I kinda get the feeling they're an experienced newbie, since their posts feel a little controlled/revised and they're mentioning some outside experience. I'll say they're townleaning for now because of a hunch.

Next, I'm seeing a

lot

of pressure on Wayward for very little reason. I thought at first people were just testing for reactions, but it feels like way too many people are looking too deeply into a couple fluffy posts of theirs. They of course could still be scum but it feels more likely actual scum are putting early pressure on them. Maybe to make them dig their own grave? The more they talk the worse it does look for them, but nothing they're posting reads as particularly scummy.

T3's giving me weird vibes. Only five posts so far (at the time of writing this), the first few posts had literally no content, and anything with content just reads as...well, not scummish but definitely not town.

What if the scumteam is just wayward and egix and we don't even have to think about anything at all this game. That would be fun

This especially just weirds me out. Why make this post during RVS but then not actually vote? It feels low key manipulative and helped jump start the current Wayward wagon. Though him reaching E-2 so quickly also kind of worries me. If anyone puts him at E-1, they need to get looked at.

Lukewarm reads as helpful, but I wouldn't say he's done anything to deserve a town read tbh. Anybody can analyze RVS phase posts and look good, there's literally zero danger to it. But at the same time, he's not really setting off any scum vibes. We've seen a lot from him but I feel like I need more that isn't just him analyzing everyone's RVS posts.

Mix gives me similar vibes. Though I'm noticing they also both seemed to buddy up almost immediately. Have you two played together before?

The Bulge reads pretty heavily town. I mainly just like his posting patterns, and him zeroing in on Wayward, even though I disagree with the suspicion itself, reads as genuine. He's putting pressure but letting others react instead of building a case himself.

Absolutely no read on Egix yet, he hasn't posted much or given anyone anything to work with yet. I'd like to see some opinions from him on the current votes and ask if he has any reads.

I don't like this post. Lean scum.

[T3]

That was based on a nullread of you vs town.

[T3]

I've had 3-5 hours of sleep this past 3 days and was really tired. The wayward egix thing was kind of a jokr asinI scumread it but not really.

[T3]

Not sure.

The response to the post was me responding to your pointabout the specific post you brought up.

[T3]

Xlos is town and I don't want to say why.
Mixlixwix saying there are more than 2 people I find scummy is towny.

How are you today T3? Slept some?

Good, I slept well, thanks.

[T3]

I'm vanilla townie. VOTE: egix

[T3]

Egixs hop on me felt opportunistic and scmmy.

[T3]

I blame this wagon on agressively chirping birds outside my window at 2:30 am.

[T3]

fwiw Xlos and Zyla slipped as masons. Don't trust any prs claims.

[T3]

Hammering me is suboptimal but unless someone has any huge new things to spice it up I'm fine with it. I think my posting sounded weird because I was tired.

[T3]

I'm town.

[T3]

My "it only works if i am bussing" post was comparing the wayward post to the dmainer post, it wasn't meant to be a rebuttal.

[T3]

Shit.

It seems you have just eliminated your friendly neighbor.

[T3]

okay lol i'm scum

[T3]

VOTE: 3t

[T3]
