Newbie 2108 - Mason PT

[Pavowski]

Well hello there

Confirmation noted.

[Pavowski]

God it's been ages since I played a newbie, I need to go back and check what this means for the scummo team

[Pavowski]

Ahh it means basically nothing for the scummos. Cool!

I have never been a mason before, I don't think.

[Pavowski]

Yeah, that's kinda the draw of newbies, less meta reading of folks. Let's hope it's a good one! I will try my best not to out us as masons on d1!

[Pavowski]

You're probably right on Cactus but he's coming in a little hot for my tastes. Doesn't necessarily say scum. Idle ... man I dunno, it's too early to say anything with any degree of anything like certainty, but I don't love the feel of 81.

Aureal and Charles are prime candidates for scum imo -- Aureal just straight-up trying to vibe (I should talk ... that's my d1 schtick but I do it as both alignments) and Charles RSV defense without adding anything is very meh.

The rest.... necesito mas

[Pavowski]

Mehhh I feel better about Aureal while she's grilling me here

[Pavowski]

Don't love Elements getting uptight over having a scumread on them this morning, honestly. Seems a bit of an overreaction for town.

Then again I don't super disagree with their take on Idle in 161.

[Pavowski]

Idle's had an odd reaction to the pressure on them, not too sure what it entails

Hard agree.

[Pavowski]

Is it too much of a reach to form a working theory that the cursed slot is a scum slot?

[Pavowski]

How do you feel about Brick? I get a "doth protest too much" vibe

[Pavowski]

I'm a little at a loss. I think we need to try to get brick but we have to be careful. If you get to e-1 we're going to have to claim.

[Pavowski]

If we're going to out, we need to out together don't we? I can vouch for you and the NK will confirm whichever of us doesn't die. Unless scums get spicy and counter claim

[Pavowski]

Ugh I don't have time to do a lot tonight. Claiming here is suboptimal but losing you is worse

[Pavowski]

By default I'll just do Mason and refuse to out my partner. If you'd prefer a different move just say so.

I think I like the cop thing if you feel you're about to get limmed. Forces them to consider the kill and gives us the option to mason claim after. My brain is fuckin fried; I don't have a better plan.

[Pavowski]

You monster.

[Pavowski]

I'm going to review the actions around Weuler tonight and check back with some thoughts tomorrow.

[Pavowski]

I see absolutely no reason BBT couldn't be scum here, and my "haven't thought it through too much" brain says Brick coul dbe a partner. Maybe I'm confbiased on Brick. And BBT didn't derail that wagon, Elements did. Ugh, why did I go along with Elements to wagon Weuler instead? I think I've had Elements too high, maybe

[Pavowski]

Elements calls for a Weuler wagon, then jumps off it, then hammers it (on somewhat short notice) to end the day. Feels weird man.

[Pavowski]

#679. Am I just on a damn moonlogic spiral or is Elements saying "wait, I shouldn't have asked the other PR to claim" is now a takesie-backsie

Like he said it, left it there for a short while to see if anybody would do it, then was like "jk guys wasn't really asking"

God the shit's hitting me hard tonight

[Pavowski]

He believes your cop claim veeeery readily too

[Pavowski]

Ok I need to stop lol in my head I just broke the goddamn game wide open and in reality I'm probably flusshing myself down the toilet

Feel free to tell me I'm entirely out of pocket

[Pavowski]

And if you die you think I should claim immediately or wait for scum to claim so I can CC?

I think I can make a fairly compelling case for being your mason and win the 1v1 that results

[Pavowski]

I mean if you die I die next night win or lose, seems like taking 1 for 1 might be optimal

[Pavowski]

Hope you're still here in a couple hours. Guess it's a 50/50 shot huh?

Any thoughts to share before you potentially kick off?

[Pavowski]

Reads?

[Pavowski]

Damn and blast.

[Pavowski]

I swear to god I could not complete a third grade word problem tonight.

[Pavowski]

Well BBT has obviously pegged me for the other Mason, now I have to wonder whether townreading him for townreading me is a mistake

[Pavowski]

That was in post 1080 for when I want to come back and confirm this.

Though his post in 1075 about looking at the start of D2 does not jive with that.

Dafuq.

[Pavowski]

Goddammit I don't have a good read on ANYBODY in this game and any one of these fooks could be fleecing

[Pavowski]

I so badly want to TR BBT for defending me when there's no need for him to do so but if he's mason-solved me then there's no reason to TR him for this. FUCK FUCK FUCK

[Pavowski]

And if he ISN'T scum nailing me there he's laid the roadmap for scum to do exactly that

Is this paranoia? I knew when I asked for the unvote there was a good chance to link me/Meg nrrrrggggggggGGGGGG

[Pavowski]

Elements and BBT are never teamed here or all that cryptic shit is in the PT

One of them can be fleecing though

[Pavowski]

At least I was able to post some tonight and they can't accuse me of scumcoasting

[Pavowski]

YEETED MYSELF

[Pavowski]

I wonder if Meg is still reading this and just shaking their head at me being a total fucking idiot

[Pavowski]

Elements obviously HASN'T picked up what BBT was putting down, or is pretending not to? Fuck man.

Elements could still be scum, too.

[Pavowski]

Wonder if I'm dead tonight. You'd tell me right Ali?

[Pavowski]

Is it too level one to think the partner is Idle or Brick? That's what gut and end-of-day posts are telling me, but it feels too easy. Way more exciting if it's BBT or Aureal or something, although both of those feel unlikely (especially BBT since they led the charge on Cactus). And ... Elements, lol. I could still see them going either way.

Hope I'm not dead tomorrow! It'd be fun to get into a counterclaim with a scummo up against the wall!
