Outworld might be a town fool but I expect you to know better

[Black]

No it wasn't.

I didn't say it was, I said it felt that way to me

I also feel like you keep doing things that naturally get townread (ie self-voting, OMGUS voting) but they don't really feel natural to me. You're either a townie that can't hold your emotions in check or you're scum trying desperately to be townread

Who are you again? I don't think we've met

UNVOTE: THS

So far I have little to no confidence in this town

Enchant says its Smiley, I think it could be Annie, DE thought it was Annie, Black thinks it was DE, I don't think its Wartortle, Status and Annie say its Wartortle, Wartortle says it's not Annie. Who is wrong here and who is leading us off the track?

Like these posts feel weird considering you're impulse voting yourself and others. If you are actually town here then I think you are part of the problem tbh

I'm impulse voting others because I'm confused. There's a bunch of reads out there but I don't know who is right and who is wrong.

I think I'm leaning scum for you here

Hmmm. A quick skim over Steady's scum game here and I'm not seeing many similarities. I'm not going to rule out the possibility of Steady!scum based on a meta read but his play here seems less involved and thoughtful, like maybe he's more of a tryhard as scum? Would like to read a town game of his next

I probably shouldn't be like this, but I'm pissy about being misread because in 1092 I had generally accurate reads but couldn't get enough grip on the game state because people wouldn't stop calling me scum

I don't know what I'm doing anymore. THS regroup.

[Black]

Steady's town game here feels more in line with his behavior this game. Slightly defensive, frustrated, annoyed. In his scum game it felt like he was more level-headed and played a type of mediator role. Obviously this doesn't mean much since I think good players can mimic their town game as scum, but I felt like pointing it out

I understand this feeling and I get this way as town sometimes. This feels genuine enough

I think I'm comfortable leaning slightly town on you with this new information in my head

[BlackStar]

I like the posts that Black has made so far. The logic seems consistent and she’s putting in effort to figure people out.

Thestatusquo’s push on Wartortle because they think he’s lying about playing forum mafia feels weird.

And I wish that Enchant would dial down the trolling by like 20% lol

Why do you think 5 is more likely to come from scum?

[usesPython]

do you really want me to link my MU account that i haven’t played on in years

This isn't really the kind of post I'd expect someone who's played forum mafia before to make

the question itself that's made in 71 will never lead to anything productive, it depends if wiz has the ability as town to recognize this

I don't get it, it's easier to read people with similar playstyles as you so how is 71 unproductive

uhh maybe. i'll defer to your judgement because i'm not a huge forum mafia dude

idk, the post just gave us an ick reaction and that was enough for us page 1

[AnimatedWiz]

Hm, as weird as THS has been this game, I do feel it’s mostly consistent with this town game of his that I was also in.

From what I remember (and just read over in his ISO there), he frequently changed his reads based on new perspectives from other people, and was willing to really argue for stuff he might back off from later—I wouldn’t say he’s wishy-washy, but more like, uh, willing to be a devil’s advocate to generate content. He also wasn’t really sure how to read me there for the majority of the game (at least, based on what he posted), so the fact that he’s having some issues here feels like a continuation of that trend.

Townread for now.

Like if you're looking for some nuanced reasoning then idk what to tell you cause there wasn't any

I was looking for any indication that 26, 28, and 30 were real thoughts but I don't think I'm going to get that

Do you think we'd make "non-real" thoughts as scum there?

[SmileyDude1]

I'm on page 8 and I think wartortle is scum for a few reasons.

1) He seems to be very concerned about presence and thread control. He keeps popping up with these rapid fire takes that don't really go anywhere. He's trying to fake the care free spewing thoughts playstyle of unconcerned town but if you dig to the bottom of these takes theres nothing there; no follow through, nothing. We don't see him pushing for his preferred narrative we just see takes. Takes and takes and takes.

how does me pushing ths not count as me pushing for my preferred narrative, exactly? how does me pushing naerys not count as me pushing to get pressure on a slightly scummy slot? it makes no sense bro

i haven’t been the most active scum hunter of all time but you’re framing it as if it’s much bigger than it actually is

VOTE: thestatusquo

Eh, looked through your ISO again and I think I agree with TSQ on this point. At least for TheHoldsteady case you don't really follow up after 66 and 67 at all and shift focus more towards Animated.

[SmileyDude1]

I vibe with Black's entrance here.

That is not the only thing I said about Wartortle. Nor was it the most important.
