Welcome to your neighborhood! You may post here for the remainder of the game so long as you are alive. As stated in the rules, any use of your Paired action must be submitted by both of you in this PT with a matching target to be valid.

Hello there.

I’ll start the conversation off by saying the new Yellow has made a good impression on me overall.

What are your reads currently?

I was hoping to get something from you while I was asleep at the very least. You said you would talk normal in the neighborhood and that implied you would talk. I’ll use this as a glorified notes thread if I must, but I would actually like to have a conversation.

lmost like I'm in a different timezone and have irl stuff happening...

anyway i'm liking yellows catch up

curious why you wouldnt give you reads in an attempt to get started.

i'm still sold on red penta being a scumshape and theres where i want to aim currently

Out of those I think Red is more suspicious. What are your other reads? As for not providing my own, I did try to at least offer a token read to set things off with my take on Yellow. But I still feel good about Arrow and Circle. I also think the first two and last two votes on Heart for the elimination wagon are town. Aside from Red I’m pretty dry on suspects.

red penta both flip red imo.

i havent like either, both seem agenda driven and their pairing really didnt sit well in my mind

I think Pentagon has seemed quite genuine past our disagreement we had early on. That also feels pretty weak given you are not factoring in any new data from Heart's scum flip. That means your previous idea of Red/Pentagon/Star was wrong, and out of those Pentagon feels the least possible to be mafia.
Also, aside from those suspects, who are your confident townreads?

honestly this game kinda has a back seat to me.

my inisital sus was red and penta, star came in later. i need to read over the last stage really as i missed a lot of pages i think

aside from you, green and blue are my absolute town. confident in arrow and circle too at the moment.

yellow has definitely pulled it out of the bag and improved.

im honestly not good with looking at associative stuff so i couldnt really derive partners from that flip

You said you wanted to aim at Red/Pentagon pairing, I’m assuming that’s for night action. I’m trying to think of whether to reveal what our power is, because I have definite thoughts on how to use it.

Might as well submit something.

Thing is, you know our power, I know our modifier.

I'm unsure about revealing the modifier currently.

Current choice acknowledged.

As long as we can agree on a target without doing so, sharing power or modifier should not be necessary.

Anyway, I guess I will try to use what remains of this phase to read the pages I still need to.

Well I trusted you enough to pair with you, lets see what happens.

Post 351 does not sit well with me, I feel like Blue, Purple, and Circle should be all town, so Star aiming to cut down Blue's town reads on them is not great.

Also like that Arrow is seeing a similar thing perhaps. Purple's gradual turnaround there also feels genuine.

Post 365 seems a bit nitpicky.

I find it humorous that you talk about how we are all children and then reference a Twitch emote.

Post 382 feels agreeable to me.

I want to poke 399 because at the time it was spoken there was not really a good selection of suspects unpaired I believe. We know Heart was a scum that paired early, if we presume Red is scum that makes two scum paired at the time of that post. I do not see Yellow, Arrow, or Purple being scum as of yet, so I think your theory of it being Red and Pentagon could actually be right if we surmise scum were all paired at this point.

409 is hands-down the best post in the game.

429 feels like a weird reaction.

Purple was a master of matchmaking with 490 through 492.

Alright, I think that's everything I missed that's worth note.

Final choice acknowledged

I see a hammer happened before I got a chance to post. I also see people suspecting me for my Heart read, that is rather unpleasant. But I will say I don’t half-ass defenses as scum: I either go in on trying to make sure the person I am defending survives, or don’t give a defense for them at all. Obviously this cannot be properly verified but just in general doing it as a half-measure I think makes more sense as a town action. It is way easier to create future miseliminations as scum if you put forth solid stances for the sole reason of having them, as town will assume there’s some alignment-based motive to it.

I think I want to target Yellow tonight. Something bothers me about the way he brought up Arrow’s seeming scum read of me. Yellow also feels like a possible scum even with how much I liked the catch-up and is within the pool of players Red potentially spewed as scum.

I don’t think Pentagon calls out Red for dodging their thread as a partner. I think it’s most likely that Yellow is the last scum, with a potential corner case of it being Star.
Also, I think I’m ready to share what our Power is, we have a Jailkeeper.

I'll submit this and if you think our modifier will cause problems, let me know. The idea is Yellow is both someone I don't quite trust and someone that, if I'm wrong about suspecting, might take a bullet. I am favoring the first part there though, given only one scum remaining.

Are you around?

Work with me, please?

I need you, Triangle.
