Large Normal 244 | Quotes From my Linear Algebra Professor or Random City Skylines or Random Songs: Town Wins!

[Klazam]

I don't think I've met Scum!Klazam before now.

Klazam, what do you be like as Scum?

Yeah I last played forum mafia in 2018 or something. I don’t remember what my scum play was like to be honest lol.

In person mafia, I’ve played a few times more recentely, only thing I can think of is that I love bussing and trying to pocket people.

J something- the vote was because psyche was being super serious in rvs, I wasn’t really reading much in it. Personally not fond of the RVS phase

Oh and in person the people who know me usually catch me as scum easy after the first few times I try to maniuplate people. Lucky enough I usually am able to find people I can maniuplate anyway and get rid of my close friends.

[JacksonVirgo]

Was going to RVS BBmolla- do you remember me? I recall you back in the day lol

But

Holy fuck Psyche. That’s too much lol.

VOTE: Psyche

What makes seriousness in RVS give this reaction? What's so bad about it to begin with?

[Klazam]

Also I think Temporal is definitely faking their logic in the moment

Eh it’s day 1, that’s why I said it’s a mostly null thing to me. Most D1 cases are pretty tenuous anyway, it’s post D1 where things really fall in place.

[Flavor Leaf]

Okay so that person was temporal, at first I was alright with their posts, then after that exchange with the other person (j something) posts just became weird. Don’t think this slot is necessarily scum though.

I don’t usually do larges, so large veteran advice- how the fuck do you keep up in general? That was a lot of pages.

Pedit: ah jacksonvirgo

Also for some reason Camel’s joke got a scumping for me, but I’m not going into that right now.

Goddamnit stop posting

Imo, don’t feel the need to keep up completely, especially early game, you can always read back later in the game when it slows down to do detective work, but when you are around, try to play in the present.

Like it’s hard to keep up in a large game, and a lot of is going to be missed no matter what. Games like these tend to slow tremendously when it gets down to 8 or 9 people, we’re kind of here as fodder for the finalists to read interactions

disproving the greeting the game tell

ooh what a fun idea
ok everyone instead of voting randomly i will now commence a sitewide study to test the hypothesis that not voting in your first post is scummy (the best operationalization of the greeting tell i can do atm)
it'll be a lot of work but i can't think of a single reason to think it's not the best possible use of my free time
please stand by for a complete outline of the methodology

VOTE: furtiveglance though bc i did another study a while ago and confirmed that expressing fun ideas in mafia games is scummy

woah wait i actually do think furtive is the scummiest player here so far
let's delay explanation until page 2. page 2 has always been my lucky page and in the interim i can probably at least finish data collection

ok ok ok let's see if i can do this

Hey everyone, looking forward to this game

I'm just disproving the greeting the game tell don't mind me

I THINK this this post represents an attempt at displacing the question of whether furtive is scummy with the question of whether the greeting tell is a worthwhile tell or not.
The answer to the latter question is easily assumed to be "no", and in this context is easy to mistake as an answer to the question of whether furtive is scummy!
but these are distinct questions
furtive you wily rascal

hmm no that's not very good, even for page 2

i think i might really find furtive scummy because his post on page 1 is a much

better

post if he's scum -- it's ironic and thus more funny. objectively!
if we assume that furtive is a person with good taste (and i think we can though only time will tell), then he is correspondingly more likely to have posted it if he were scum than if he were town.
and being more likely to come from scum than from town is what it means for an action scummy!

yeah that's better. im really proud of myself
but alas even this revised justification for my vote is not very good!
would a bored member of the audience be willing to explain why?

yes its essence was clear to me from the moment i made post 18 (i think it's 18 im not going to look). indeed, i suspect my entire destiny may have been determined from the moment i decided it would be funny to hyperfixate on three words in an apparent throwaway shitpost.
but now i have one more justification for voting furtive! it's futile to say this, but this is not me doing a gish gallop. it's just an overactive imagination fueled by a caffeine addiction that i'm more than a little defensive about:
furtive's post #20 was mean. it wounded me on a deep emotional level that i'll probably need a few more pages of conversation to forget and recover from. if that kind of negative energy is allowed to persist through this game, it will only destroy us. we must destroy it first. but don't get more wrong, it's more important that we destroy scum of course. of course!

All on page 1 and 2.

Nothing “bad” about it, but it’s a reason for me to stick my vote on that.

PEdit- for some reason I don’t like that flavor seems to not think he’ll be around for endgame. That line just was odd to me.

[Flavor Leaf]

Also I think Temporal is definitely faking their logic in the moment

Which really has me conflicted ngl. As tonally they seem town but their content is telling me they're fake

Same page.

My issue is if I believe there’s genuine malice in their actions doing so or not.

It’s why I struggled with the town read on theme and wanted their games to see if their tone is townie as scum.

[the worst]

I do townread Flavor Leaf though, with the self-vote being the main impetus for a Flavor Leaf townread (I doubt scum would self-vote early Day 1)

VOTE: JacksonVirgo

I must be Town too.

JV is town damn

what makes you say so?

I talk like that with the hopes I will be.

Which really has me conflicted ngl. As tonally they seem town but their content is telling me they're fake

so I'm double scum then?

[the worst]

Which really has me conflicted ngl. As tonally they seem town but their content is telling me they're fake

i don't really buy that faking logic is a scumtell tbh scum are generally motivated to fake everything *except* logic

i'm not really convinced i'm right on townpura but that's a read i don't really think i care to reevaluate on d1

[Flavor Leaf]

I just always assume I’m gonna be night killed tbh, and when I’m not, cool. I can flip flop all my reads and throw scum for a loop

[the worst]

i'm like a little nervous about psyche? but i don't want to be because i want to play with psyche

So you’re happy just to ignore it.

Interesting.

Not bad. Just interesting enough to note.

I don't sense any malice at all, in fact all the fabricated logic was actually to town-read people (you).

Psyche was in this weird position of pushing some and defending me, and i don’t get what they get from that if scum unless they wanted my wagon to go through, I guess without pushing it.

I’m lean town on them.

Neither do I, especially when they said this (quoted below)

why is there no "I'm town and am pretending to be frustrated" quantum state?

It could be that they saw this as an out, but eh

[the worst]

i think that's kind of where i'm at with tl. it's either authentic moonlogic or logic and i don't really care which, i don't see a way to assess the motivation of it and i'm not going to bend myself into a pretzel over it when i don't really think tl is scummy anyway

Malice probably was the wrong term. Scum motivated was more what I meant, and I do see scum motivation in the posts.

The tone of temporal is very townie, though, and I don’t necessarily think that’s something they could fake very well, although not impossible.

Idk. Their logic isn’t good, but it helps protect their positioning? I wanna say it looks more like silly town, but i also don’t want to underestimate TL. I can’t say I’ve played with them a lot, but they were in my last BooneyToonz game.

[the worst]

ah valid i might've been inferring more antagonism from u towards tl than u intended

The only scum motivation I can feel from that is what you said earlier, with trying to not get NK'd by the other team. But nothing that I'd want pushed rn, I think they're just Town until further notice.

[TemporalLich]

my thoughts are that I need to reevaluate my entire lead rist as I'm kind of unable to sort anymore
