HELLO I AM HERE TO PLAY GAME

I think Hawke (Hawke is birb, yes?) has been scummy here. The "someone tell me this is scummy so I can vote it" post makes me uneasy and I don't think they've said anything since that has made me feel better. Won't vote yet, though. I did think the weird attempt to pivot to binus was kinda weird.

And I'm seeing in the preview window Jed! is making a similar post so just read his instead.

generating content (in general) on d1 is weird and I don't think any one thing is inherently scummy from that, short of a total ~~~flavor~~~ scumslip (which isn't real)

we all know it's just generating reads on each other and see who is vaguely grouping up for when the flips actually happen later, anyway

seems bad would vote

my power is to be a light poster for day 1 and 2, usually getting lynched as an easy vote and then rolling out day three and on

also being tired and quarantine e-friends tugging me into tabletop simulator games, there's a lot of red dragon inn going about. bit of blood rage, too. smallworld sucks, do not bother.

Oh also, nice cat and dog, soda and hawke.

Re: Spoonsy, just seems like a lurker case, doesn't really jump out to me. Like, Soda, you're right, could be scum coasting, but a four day D1 over a weekend can have that lower participation, gosh knows I wasn't around most of the weekend myself. They've posted already today so we'll see what comes from that.

re: sandnavyguy, I can see what xopods and Token Female are saying, and I'll keep that in mind for later, but strikes me as first game awkwardness rather than scum play

that said cl, the case you have on cheese is all you've done this entire game (pot, kettle) do you have any other reads on the other 18 players in this?


yuming posted:

I agree on both those points. I think sand guy comes off as More New Than Scum!

yea maybe. they'll hang themselves getting wires crossed on later days, so I think we should table sand guy casing for a day or two and cross reference his casing and thoughts

yuming has bounced from lurker case to lurker case and it seems like scum play because they’re easy votes

so has a lot of people

it's in the morning so I am not going to deep dive to check but I am pretty sure anyone not voting spoons or you is inherently a pretty cheap lurker vote case

cuz it was loving d1


xopods posted:

Agreed. Yuming is one of my favorite people in this community, and she's a great Town player. However, she doesn't enjoy lying as much as she enjoys catching liars and has a hard time faking cases as Scum, so she tends to gravitate towards easier ones and reduces her overall posting. Which is probably what's happening here.

I don't like this post. Mostly because it meta-psychoanalyzes and I personally don't know if it's true by experience, so it's an easy lie to get away with and influence.

on the flipside I would think scum xop would throw it down closer to deadline to seal the deal


Pinterest Mom posted:

We were, and I regret that he's not alive to confirm this, confirmed town masons

i feel there's a pretty good chance cuz it's f u n that it wasn't confirmed town and the death message does imply betrayal. . .

sandnavyguy posted:

not only is it frustrating we lost three, but the players themselves were mostly lurkers and vanilla, so that doesn’t exactly help our case. But if anything I’m more reasonably certain that I was wrong before and PMom is town. Everyone else who responded when I asked earlier was pretty neutral or slight town, but Fisk was a dead set they were town. It was in a joking manner, but being Mason I wonder if they were crumbing a bit? Thoughts?

hmm

pushes the narrative of pmom confirmed town, which pmom goes with. scum buddies? no one has contradicted the claim (yet) but the role doesn't confirm a confirm town either

'Aw shucks' post and did nothing yesterday. Like almost actually nothing. Voted NL and deliberately said they would not vote Spoonsy, proposing no alternate candidate.

i would say that it's probably not worth focusing too much on this. do you have any thoughts on binus?

navy does the same post and somb in general hasn't posted anything about navy except this quote to push towards binus despite being a potential legal councillary target D1.

I think that Yuming making only one case yesterday and it basically was this person is lurking and says that they have finals right about now. Maybe it's meta, but I expect more from Yuming. Yuming as town is active and posting cases and scum hunting. Yuming as scum lacks the passion for casing because she knows that it is manufactured, and she has a tough time with it.

either this is true or someone set in a catch phrase in scumchat

Yes, but confirmed masons are a thing, and they don't generally say "confirmed" or "unconfirmed" in the flip, and in this case the flipped Town Mason had breadcrumbed that Pmom is Town.

the breadcrumb of fisk thinking pmom was town in thread? that isn't much, esp not much for several people to jump on the "YEP PMOM 100% TOWN" wagon.

Oh, when I was looking at the end of Day1 votes knowing that both Spoonsy and Cheese were town. I imagine that scum would be happy with either getting voted out, and could sit back. I omitted that there was a slight push for Ixilton from yuming and Pmom. I think this resistance to it is of note:

xopods feels bad to me

they haven't actually done much this game other then push on spoonsy (and then throw shade at people who didn't)

jumps on the cheese sandwich bandwagon after a push gets going with a pretty lame evaluation vote, then tunnels on spoonsy. today after doing back and forth with me re:confirmed mason the tunneling is on yuming with a case of

Merk, Yuming, and Somber are pinging me so hard. I can't stop thinking about how Somber usually communicates very differently imo, and a lot of his communication this game seems to be very geared towards commenting on other people.

I'm scared because it feels like a lot of players that I don't trust are working hard to get other people to post reads on specific players and controlling the conversation.

Of the three, GotG is probably the least bad, considering just this portion of the game. The worst I can say about that is that he's testing the waters by saying "i feel cheese" then jumping in as the fourth vote after me and Jed get the wagon going for him.

how does that mean find the 3p

if a 3p has a wincon (and murdermeans) they're going to go after the pearl necklace

it doesn't matter what alignment toal is on.

if he survives n2 then we can vote him off then but it seems unnecessary right now when the possibility is there. it's more time efficient for our days.

if you think toal is scum that's fine (tbh I forget if I do or not right now) but there's what, four or five other scum in a twenty one player game? if alternatives exist that's better

unless ofc it's you who needs the necklace
