How do you think he “should have” reacted and what side do you think he switched from?

like maybe seem more reluctant or paranoid

idk

I dont think this is a great take of mine lol

just was thinking overnight wouldnt it work nicely for wolf if fire is villa to be like "welp now we have to lim the other one cuz we're supposed to"

I guess I should have waited for other people to check in first

In post 1598, fireisredsir wrote: why would i be advocating for my reads when

a) me pushing more strongly than i usually do for a read was wrong and is how we got in this situation

b) nobody is going to (or should!) listen to me anyway
a) I can see why town might feel like this, but overall your particular brand of not advocating for your reads feels a bit more like scum defensiveness and “waiting to die”. (Sorry if I’m missing something) I feel like you’re not proposing any plan other than “why don’t you leave me alive a bit longer and see how you feel later?” which to me tends to come from scum.

b) If you’re town it’s up to you how much effort to put it and if you think this game is already lost I don’t blame you
If you’re town, however, we’re really gonna need your help to see it and I think I scumread your particular kind of defensiveness, so some takes *might* help me get closer to thinking you’re town.

Are you pretty sure that Aureal is scum, yes or no?

If fire is not scum we're screwed in ways that are difficult to salvage (maybe salvageable but out of reach of what I can accomplish before dropping off the face of the earth in 6 hours). Even if he's scum I think Who Are The Partners is an interesting question
I am not super tunneled on fire and can be convinced to go elsewhere. My vote remaining on them is more due to laziness than conviction. With that being said I am currently leaning toward them being mafia.

Still not sure about the strength of your read on Aureal

I'd like to try to identify at least one other person who I think is mafia today. If I can't then that tells me I need to reevaluate some reads.

yes, as i said, i think aureal is scum. i don't really see any world where she isn't

i still don't think it's mena

i don't think it's ceph but im not gonna bet the game on that sorry

my reason for clearing dunn is not 100% so idk. he's not playing

implosion i felt like was the most towny yesterday. it is possible that scum was just in a good enough position that he never felt a need to be anything but pure. but id still be really impressed

sheep i think i am predisposed to townread when he spews thoughts in the way that he has. probably would be treating as town if it weren't for the ghost of skitters past haunting me and reminding me that im supposed to suspect him

aisa/you i have generally felt were towny but the poe is feeling slim and idk maybe im still clinging to the idea that someone with influence must be scum here and it isn't just town running in circles killing each other, but im not sure

Here’s a BBC Scarfolk TV testcard from 1970.

The SHS (Scarfolk Health Service) suggested these particular photographs in an attempt to subliminally accustom citizens to the plummeting success rate of state healthcare and to lower their expectations.

But they got more than they bargained for. Throughout the 70s a very faint, ghostly image of a woman’s face began inexplicably appearing on Scarfolk’s local TV broadcasts. Because she was first seen on this early ‘SHS’ testcard, she became known as “The Scarfolk Nurse.”

She appeared on all kinds of programmes, but was most often seen during children’s television broadcasts at times of social unrest. Engineers at the TV station never found a technical explanation for the phenomenon, nor could they for the examples of distant, eerie voices on the radio, which were also attributed to the “Nurse”.

Can you see her? She’s there if you look hard enough....

This public information poster was ubiquitous during the mid-1970s when there was a spate of cases involving adults being abducted from leisure centres, building sites and nudist beaches.

The police launched a public manhunt hoping that the perpetrator would be swiftly apprehended, but the crimes went unsolved for nearly two years. Terrified grownups would only go outside in groups of four or five and many pubs refused to open.

It was only when a police medium read the entrails of a recently sacrificed tramp that clues were finally unearthed, leading to the arrest of eight year old Steven Benson who had fed his victims to his tortoise, Admiral Twinkles.

When Steven was taken into state care and Admiral Twinkles escaped, it was suggested that the tortoise, which was an illegal immigrant, had used ‘Manchurian Candidate’ style psychological techniques to manipulate young Steven into subconsciously carrying out his instructions.

fireisredsir, sheepsaysmeep, and Cephrir are the three slots that are on both miseliminations. I think it is likely that there is mafia within this pool.

I feel that Egix is getting strangely little attention for what they have in terms of content. And that leans towards them being mafia with a team that isn't pushing them.

skitter wanted fire gone and like I said yesterday my overall read on fire accounting for me being bad at reading fire was more-or-less-null.

I am at Aisa-fully-locktown right now. I think I am never re-evaluating on her, and if she is scum I'm willing to tank the loss. I think she has played a
ridiculously
good game if she is scum.

The point of Just Lim Fire is that if we are planning to lim fire, we might as well delay massclaim by one extra day so a VT might die when they wouldn't have. If we are massclaiming then fire would be up first so it might be okay for fire to just claim.

mena responded with "i prefer fire but maybe sure"

egix responded with a "stay the course unless you think it's tvt" which is pretty scummy

implosion with "i just think it's skitter but also even if she's VT then we can mass claim tomorrow" (?)

sheep with "i just think it's skitter" plus lots of other words

aisa with "i want fire or skitter or dunn and not aureal or sheep" which personally i think is pretty scummy

Unless anyone is feeling strongly that fire and skitter are both town, we need to vote along these lines. Skitter has already claimed, let's be really careful of not having any more claims than nesscessary. I don't think I have the dunn votes or they'd be happening, so I'll UNVOTE: Dunn and VOTE: skitter.
ig we had a flipped town make the case of "resolve this unless you think it's tvt" so idk maybe it isn't scummy
