I found some time to sit down and work over this game a little bit. Apologies for the absence, I should be less busy in general moving forward.
- MonkeyMan in general seems to be acting in bad faith, especially lately, and I'm really struggling not to scumread the slot. I've been told that his behavior is not necessarily scummy for him (although, now that I think about it, catboi was one of the main people telling me that), but I agree with the assessment that someone made (not sure who, can't find it on a quick look) that he has been coasting a bit after the initial pressure died down. The recent interactions with Flavor Leaf and SCP just feel blatantly scummy to me, and it's getting hard to ignore.
- Malcolm's brief adventure onto the Flavor Leaf wagon left a bad taste in my mouth, but that's (to my memory) literally the only thing that I've found suspicious from him so far, so I'm willing to give it a pass for now. I think I can understand where he would be coming from, if town.
- Nero Cain seems to have come in with certain (largely incorrect) narratives that he decided to push about the game (for example, that Menalque is a lurker), with by his own admission not reading very much of the game prior to his entrance. Despite this, he stands by his own narratives and doesn't show much interest in reassessing them. This could just be poor town play, but it does make me pause and think if, for example, a fellow member of a scum team gave him a summary of thread events in their PT and that's what he's basing these narratives on. Still leaning town overall, but it is a thought that occurred to me while reading.
- I was somewhat surprised to find how much I agreed with the reads by Klick in 6240. My main difference would be having cassowary in more of a townread, FL less of a scumread, and MegAzumarill as null at best. Regardless, this makes me feel a lot better about Klick, who I was feeling fairly neutral on previously. Knowing that we're seeing the game in a roughly similar light improves their chances of being town, in my view.
- Dunnstral and cassowary still feel fairly towny to me. My one experience with Dunnstral was with him as scum, and this feels quite different to me. It's interesting how I didn't really pick up on it until he took over the slot. I think previously I was reading the posts mostly as someone new; it seemed like Lukewarm was more prominently posting. Now that it's just Dunnstral it's easier to make the mental comparison. Cassowary seems to be continuing to solve and seems to be working independently, I don't get any feeling that she is pushing a narrative or is acting in an informed manner.
- I still think Nashville is scum. I don't think their posts toDay have been towny at all. I also can't help but notice that Mala's posting has fallen off significantly, and someone on Day 1 was talking about how Mala has gotten scum a lot lately and appears to be tired of it and doesn't have a lot of stamina as scum. I think that could be what we're seeing here. I know that a lot of people's posting has fallen off, myself included, so I certainly wouldn't use that as a primary reason for a scumread. But it does line up.-

At the begining of d2 Mena made the following 5 posts
complaining about Koba scumreading him
says that he wishes that FL had vigged him
blank votes on meg and then FL
asks Malcolm to kill him
I think accusing him of being a lurker is a pretty apt statement, no?
his posts afterward have been
claiming he's not being a lurksack
says the game isn't fun
asks an irrelevant question about FL fakeclaiming d3 IC in another game
6109 and 6110 are actual content
2 posts about making fun of MM's 6111
then a blank vote on CSF
This is my 3rd game with mena and in my 2 previous games I've scum read him for a similar lack of activity/high fluff:content ratio
hence:
it was also very much a reply toIn post 6078, Nero Cain wrote:mena seems like a useless lurksack regardless of alignment
Why is my accusation that he's being a useless lurksack an "incorrect narrative" but Kobas isn't? Do you think he's not being a useless lurksack?In post 6077, SCP 682 wrote:Mena likes to be a lurkfuck as scum and loses a lot of steam as the game goes - and that's present here, and he has no fire in his play.
and he himself has said that he's being less active.
So white knight him more?
There's a part of me that's willing to believe that you just didn't understand what I was saying but it does come off as really discredity and shadey.
and your wording is just kinda odd too:
I'm very much allowed to have thoughts about previous games and it's not something that I accused him of d1...hence why I said it d2.In post 6326, butterchurn wrote:Nero Cain seems to have come in
so for you to believe this you have to think that my scum buddy goes "hey Nero, a guy with 300 posts is lurking." and I'm too dumb/lazy check the activity overview. I highly doubt you believe this. I know you landed on lean town but I doubt that this is an actual thought you had.In post 6326, butterchurn wrote:a fellow member of a scum team gave him a summary of thread events in their PT and that's what he's basing these narratives on.
I take umbrage with this, I was voting Wolf scum while you were busy misliming town. My reads could be wrong and garbage but so far they aren't (I'm not even hard scumreading Mena though I could understand how he could be wolf) but so far they've been ok and better than yours. Also didn't you make this same accusation against me in Polish Rap?In post 6326, butterchurn wrote:doesn't show much interest in reassessing them. This could just be poor town play,Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

(Ngl I don't know what to do right now. I might actually resume my catchup, since:
-I am not seeing any super-duper important things to respond to,
-My preferred wagon of FL is still the leading wagon,
-I am struggling to think of things to post,
-The game is slow enough that my catchup style actually might work,
-It could help break players who have stagnated, out of their stagnation.
But, will be "done as I can", since:V/LA from May 10th - May 20thdue to work.)-

Mania subsiding, character mourning just about done - she's becoming a saint!
Back to KeeperPosting.
Also not reading the last 20 pages because ngl it's frustrating when I already have the attention span of a Twisted Spoon and I'm in catchup mode, and if there's anything important I know Mastina will catch it.One penny... two pennies... three pennies... OO A NICKEL! Now I can get More Options!!-

How in the world can you still favor an FL elimination given his accuracy, claim, and guaranteed not bussing?In post 6328, mastina wrote:(Ngl I don't know what to do right now. I might actually resume my catchup, since:

I know you find FL as the better elimination but I find the only reason mastina would stall to buy time is to give CSF more time. She (if she has a role) would still be able to act today. I don't recall mastina stating a read on CSF.In post 6340, MonkeyMan576 wrote:I don't know. Probably related to her role.-

he's saying he doesn't recall when he last went on VLA“Merely by existing, we hurt each other.
But it’s not always intentional.”

Thanks for clarifying.In post 6345, bnuuy wrote:he's saying he doesn't recall when he last went on VLA
I don't see what MM has to deal with Mastina possibly stalling.
If he meant mastina, the misgender is confusing.
Clarify please?-

Being V/LA is irrelevant. If you're using VLA to dodge a game because you're taking fire you need to reconsider what character you're playing. Because that's even shittier than having enemies spawn on you.
I've been V/LA while I've been manic and had an extra day because of appointments and ya know, losing a character you've had since 2016 hurts a bit.
I am literally not moving my vote from you. You are genuinely being an Evil Twin.One penny... two pennies... three pennies... OO A NICKEL! Now I can get More Options!!
