For serious tho psycho has a bunch of posts and appears to be getting engaged in the game, yet their only scum read is on me for 2 posts. Smells like somebody trying to go for the easy participation route and not ruffling feathers by not having a lot of scum reads, a good 6/10 on the ol scummy-o-meter

this is not an unreasonable position, postcount leaders are there for a reason

I'm comfortable with my vote on death cob. Kinda weird to prod someone for voting someone that you also think is scum.

when someone just drops an effortless vote on your choice, you have to think about why they're doing so and why they elected to not provide their own read on the situation. absolutely not weird to question every vote!

also why the gently caress is bif appearing to claim... survivor teammate? I guess one of them has to die for both to win but god drat, self-bussing yourself D1 seems to really stunt your chances to win

I think my psycho vote is pretty good. Psycho’s reaction to the light pressure was post vomit which seems scummy too.

I think psycho is still fairly new and finding their bearings, personally. They're not good-looking posts but I don't think they're scum, necessarily.

What do you think of Toalpaz? Deadline is in three hours (the middle of the American workday is harsh lmao), they're tied for vote leader, and we know you're not gonna vote yourself.

What's the case on Psycho again? Too strong of calls for D1?

my call is that they're trying to stir up/guide discussion a bit too much, which isn't immediately scummy but like... I could be persuaded to put my vote there if we can't do Toal

imo the case on toal is basically that they dumped a bunch of lovely reads in one post and that's been the total of their participation this game

it's D1 so the bar is pretty low tbh but I would expect something ever so slightly higher

I don't understand how merk is simultaneously voting me (presumably bc he thinks I'm scum) and also would be willing to vote the person I think is scum.

bussing is not uncommon, alternatively he may be thinking that if you flip scum someone else may not be (or vice versa)

Half an hour before deadline, merk and Toal were both at 4, so Bif, AN, RWC and GW voted in quick succession.

This is worth looking at, I think. Particularly GW, who got the hammer, and therefore an item.

Scum losing their vote may be a benefit - no vote means no responsibility for town getting executed.

I am incredibly disappointed in this audience. You had the chance to make people speak in Shakespeare quotes, or post only in alliterations, or communicate entirely in emojis. You could have made them add random factoids to every post. You could have done anything. Where is the spark of creativity in this audience?

anything that kneecaps participation in a game is really rough; idk how it is lately but there was a community perception for a while that games were losing player attention too easily, and I'm sure the engaged spectators want more stuff going on, not less

this is insanely self-congratulatory and devoid of information. yeah we know you got an item. "you have no results to report at the time" because you either a. didn't use the item or b. didn't get any worthwhile results to report.

why would you not use the item? hrm maybe because scum get some sick passive bonuses for holding specific items. maybe that's why

You neve the expanded on this. You just came in straight for GW and then didn't talk about reads at all.

yeah, because on rereading what I had available, nothing interesting-to-me came up that hadn't already been discussed. don't feel like "omg me too bestie!"ing a bunch of posts

Maerlyn posted:

I'm kind of surprised merk "kill all 3P" isn't concerned but then again it's early in the game.

this raises an interesting point. why did bif claim survivor so goddamn early? maybe it's because her buddy is a known strong mafia player, and the sooner she dies without intense discussion about things, the more likely it is for her teammate to get her to victory?

also it's killing me that my new username is getting abbreviated to "cob". not even death cob? jesus christ. I didn't send a pleading PM to jeffery to add one more letter to my name to be called "cob" for the rest of my life

Cause if I didn't, I'd quite likely be already NKed, or due for it very soon. One survivor has to die, but don't feel like leaving my mate to fend for themselves all alone that early

yeah, but why not let that NK happen naturally? with town voting with imperfect knowledge and scum not knowing the difference between town and survivor, surely one of you would die of natural causes; at the very worst, in mid-game one of you could start acting scummy or "accidentally" scumslip in order to get voted out

it's not about agreeing or disagreeing, it's just that I don't think I have anything of particular interest to add to the conversation. if I'm rereading past posts I wasn't awake/present for, I'm only going to chime in on things that I think are going unnoticed or that I have my own particular spin on. I skimmed over the past couple of pages again and I did notice something I didn't before:

I think Bif is telling the truth about her survivorship and I think merk (or, failing that, another well-known player - is likely the partner. Everyone else is in a kind of ambiguous state, I don't think of anyone as firmly town/not town at this juncture.

You can keep pressing me for reads if you want, but the only thing that's going to lead to is both of us being irritated with each other and/or me coming up with some bullshit that I'll change my tune on after thinking about it for a few hours.

(you may find it useful to know that I have absolutely berserk ADHD and that it will take me multiple rereads of the thread to catch some things; in addition, I really don't like to call firm town/scum reads until I have a series of posts by that person supporting them. I'm not giving you reads because nobody is clearly standing out to me)
