*honks angrily at five pages and demands cheese instead*

[Aureal]

we got the first 1 hour and 56 minutes out of the way, time really flies huh.

you all having fun?

*honks impatiently and starts going through Skygazer's kitchen, as surely Gamma can't be the only one who has cheese*

*leaves the slipper out in the backyard then quickly waddles inside while Alianna retrieves it, scouting out the cheese basket*

I think I am most proud of this scum game.

Defeated Alianna, Aureal, Python, and a list mod lol

*stealthily drops ice cubes at Drew's feet then honks loudly*

[Aureal]

Did I mention this is a joke account in a joke game and that I am a fresh tasty broccoli surrounded by 12 hungry ducks?

*honks in disgust at the vegetable, throws it out and resumes searching for cheese*

VOTE: Broccoli

[Aureal]

Then turn up a tv

*honks sadly about hearing loss*

VOTE: Alianna

[Aureal]

*honks in confusion because she doesn't feel a strong differentiation between Ircher's meta dependent on his alignment and his terse play style tends to be read as scummy in general*

[Aureal]

Aureal might be scum. That defense is awkward.

Aureal is awkward lol

*flaps wings elegantly while flying past Drew then honks loudly at Titus*

VOTE: Titus

[Aureal]

Yeah there's definitely scum in Aureal Ircher Broccoli

yeah that's a wild take to have based on the last few posts.

I didn't even townread Ircher's post but that triple shade is wild. Like how are Aureal and me even related to your scumread on Ircher?

VOTE:

Titus

Also where is everyone?

*honks about rule of three and splashes red paint at Ircher*

[Aureal]

*honks in confusion because she doesn't feel a strong differentiation between Ircher's meta dependent on his alignment and his terse play style tends to be read as scummy in general*

This post right here initially pinged me. It's an awkward defense of Ircher. Aureal says "Ircher's play is scummy" which is a null read but simultaneously handwaives every argument for reading Ircher at all.

He's scummy, well you can't call him scum because that's his play.
He's scummy so you can't call him town because his play cannot be townie.

*unconvinced honks at explanation that doesn't match the TMI feel of 296 where it looks like trying to paint her as partners with Ircher*

[Aureal]

Why are people voting Furt?

Mix of Alianna and furt

This might hurt my credibility but I think it's funny so hey ho

I read 172 and was about to quote it and say this is scummy before I realised I was Alianna's slot.

*honks in confused alarm at Amished tell being contemporaneously called out as such by the teller*

[Aureal]

Cheesy vote btw

*stealthily steals the cheese while others are Knott looking, then honks*

[Aureal]

VOTE: Drew

*honks in alarm, shoves a lookalike Drew statue into place to absorb the vote*

[Aureal]

Oh also I don't feel ircher and alianna are partnered based on their interactions so far (which i reread), little as they might be

*honks at having had this thought first but warily circles both parties*

[Aureal]

I have attempted to be accommodating here and you are just spouting more and more whiny nonsense about how “you aren’t allow to do anything”

*honks in annoyance at expecting a newbie to just not be a newbie and not get frustrated at being scumread for newbie behavior*

[Aureal]

I challenge anyone to tell me Afrayed’s responses to me suggest actual interest in effective sorting. He’s pissed I’ve caught him and trying to subvert me.

*honks a challenge to find examples of people being accused of asking bad, useless questions who actually ended up being scum*

[Aureal]

*honks in confusion while dragging 644 past, then goes to look for a goose translator since some people apparently are not fluent in it*

[Aureal]

*could honk a meta-read that townfurtive is likely to pick on the things he's picking on here, but then again she hasn't really seen scumfurtive since multiball is quite different and so was his attitude at the time*

*just honks quizzically at furtive being so curious about reads on himself*

[Aureal]

I think the E-1 Ircher wagon was mostly pure

so Meuh/Ircher/Me/Aureal/your slot/Theta/HPE
has 2 scum in it according to you?

yeah maybe, could also be 1.

Right now I think AK/Meuh/Ircher/Titus/Aureal has all scum.

*honks a tiny trombone for the idea of Titus/Ircher/AK team*

[Aureal]

CRIES

this one drastically overestimated where the posts were at. anyway.

?

comically failed yoing attempt

*lurks under the deck in stealth mode*

[Aureal]

*honks on page top!*

[Aureal]

Im in a hood with hu tao

*honks in alarm at neighbor theft, flaps angrily about the pond reeds hunting for intruders*

[Aureal]

'Oh Hi there!'
'well hey there, you'
'so we're neighbors hunh?'
'What does that tell you about the game?'
'idk, lets never talk in here again!'

*honks mockingly because Hu Tao likes her pond better than the neighbor-thief's*

[Aureal]

I think it has a chance to catch scum
if someone mentioned cheese but it's not in that person's role PM, that person has potential to have learned about cheese privately from another player

*honks from ship that has already sailed to some other pond*

[Aureal]

*honks at Titus again acting like Ircher's gonna flip scum and she wants someone else to look partnered*

VOTE: Ircher

[Aureal]

*honks sadly at drained pond*

VOTE: Titus

[Aureal]

Does it say in your role PM that Hu Tao is a duck/goose?

*honks at having the same info on Hu Tao as the vegetable does*

PEDIT: why not? I was getting weird vibes from everyone having cheese in their flavor, I also had cheese in my own flavor, I wanted to see if this is something speculate-able.

*honks weirdly*

[Aureal]

i need to sleep on this. I’m certain on hu tao being scum, broccoli not dying and that entire PT being “DO YOU HAVE CHEESE? WHAT IS YOUR ROLE??” has me tempted to just yeet broccoli here, I was so convinced on broccoli town after that flip, now… not so much

*honks quizzically at scum theater PT?*

[Aureal]

*links up with suspiciously green broccoli to form the giant robot VeggiBird, honks the attack button*

VOTE: TITUS

[Aureal]

VOTE: Aureal

*offers Elite Bodyguard Drew a seat in the control room of VeggiBird so long as he promises not to honk the self-destruct button*

[Aureal]

I don't think I need to toss out reads and re-evaluate unless flips prove otherwise.

*also honks lazily, waits for more cheese*

[Aureal]

Drew might just be scum here. He reacted as if he saw what I was saying but then waffles on me being town.

*picks up a lillypad gauntlet in her beak and waddles up to smack Titus and her much guilt in a challenge to explain the cryptic nonsense*

[Aureal]

*honks and grudgingly releases the site from its prison in exchange for a healthy basket of cheese for geese to eat*

[Aureal]

VOTE: pk

[Aureal]

I can't say I know what to do with this information yet, but I will note that the sample VT PM has Andante's name on it.

Ooh it does...

This is the closest Ircher got to interacting with Alianna, it is just reacting to information

*waddles in wearing a Speak With Dead amulet to cast it on Broccoli/bianco for him to explain that it's just freaking weird for scum to have this interaction in the main thread rather than discuss it in private, assuming it's not something they already knew, because if you're gonna have fake discussion why even bother with a post that contributes nothing to it?*

[Aureal]

btw intent to hammer

VOTE: HPE

*honks at insane impatient people*

[Aureal]

*honks demandingly about getting explanation on what planet scumAlianna just blurts out the Andante VT thing in 23 when it had a good chance to go unnoticed if she just keeps quiet*

[Aureal]

VOTE: furtive

VOTE: furtiveglance
That method of sliding into this discussion was not gracious at all

VOTE: furtive

*honks at

incredible

reasoning, truly content worthy of page one*

[Aureal]

*honks demandingly about getting explanation on what planet scumAlianna just blurts out the Andante VT thing in 23 when it had a good chance to go unnoticed if she just keeps quiet*

how does 23 clear alianna?? it’s nai

*honks in confusion at the idea of scum racing to point out mechanical reasons for a townie to be considered town*

[Aureal]

You realize I had multiple posts in a row of reviewing slots’ prior content?
Just because the votes don’t have logic in the post doesn’t mean it ain’t there

*waddles off with inconvenient game pages without needing to read them but instead to go spit them out into the trash since Gamma has decreed that some parts of the game Just Don't Matter*

[Aureal]

*honks and knocks over the mirror Gamma is looking into*

[Aureal]

*also honks in confusion about who furtive scumreads*

[Aureal]

*honks sourly at POE of HPE Gamma and Andante, which she really needs to do some reading back on and hasn't done yet since she didn't expect people to be threatening yet another rapid day end*

[Aureal]

btw intent to hammer

*continues to honk suspiciously at sudden haste to end the day here after making such a big deal about how it was too quick to end day one on Ircher*

Beyond these being rather

wildly

different gamestates, do note that this one... didn't hammer! Wow!

*honks suspiciously at intent that isn't actually intent as soon as someone objects*

[Aureal]

Oh also I don't feel ircher and alianna are partnered based on their interactions so far (which i reread), little as they might be

*honks at having had this thought first but warily circles both parties*

this might be of interest, which posts did you see ircher interacting with alianna in?

I can't say I know what to do with this information yet, but I will note that the sample VT PM has Andante's name on it.

Ooh it does...

because it's such a nothingburger post that why even bother stick it in the scum PT
also, interesting choice of thing to comment on.

*honks at Gamma for an explanation about asking a question and then shading her for actually answering the question*

Oh, make no mistake dear Aureal, this one WAS gonna do it! But only after about a day. But then Gamma moved to you, so.

*honks at baffling attempt to have it both ways in wanting credit for not hammering but also wanting credit for being willing to hammer*

[Aureal]

*honks at unreasonable expectations and chases a psychic in to talk to Gamma to find out what she feels like should have been addressed*

[Aureal]

*honks that her gut is better than Gamma's gut, since that's literally the only thing about furtive she'd said in between 1611 and 1619 but yet she somehow expects engagement on it*

[Aureal]

So we stale until deadline?

*honks and directs Enchant towards Gamma and HPE to find out why they were fine ending the day until suddenly a few honks made them decide they weren't*

[Aureal]

I am town gilf.

I love cheese.

*honks excitedly at finally realizing the significance of plural nouns, then goes to hide her cheese stash because other geese don't get to share it just for being geese*

[Aureal]

jesus even when the game state is like this we're stagnating

*honks wryly*

VOTE: HPE

[Aureal]

Enchant,

town gilf

, sat on a wall and had a great fall.

it is now day six, which will end in (expired on 2023-12-03 15:45:00).

[Aureal]

Really, Gamma, think about it. If I were scum that means all those times Hu townread me were sincere. But

why does she townread me

? Find me any explanation for it. Here's mine: she had a hood with me and I wasn't expressing mistrust of her so she figured I'd be a good pocket to take deep into the game to vote wrong or be voted. She got me like that last time.

You think I'm playing both sides, but look at what Hu literally is doing here. "Oh no I townread you both, now what do I do? " It's exactly what I expected, which is why I gave her some extra nudges to target Enchant, rather than change my tune and clue her in that I'm actively reassessing my reads and have her maybe realize that I've looked at the associatives and tied her to HPE rather than you. Why would scumAureal rather have you here than Enchant, the lackadaisical replacement who already went along with me sheeping dead town's read?

[Aureal]

Idk, I feel like I’ve been in a compromised position for most of the game, some of that is my fault, mainly for what I was doing during D4, but part of that comes from Hu Tao’s reflexive approach of suspecting my role as a scum one. Which I think makes her town because I have had a lot of beef with that approach in recent games but it seems to be town who do it more than scum and I have legit seen Hu Tao do the same sort of thing in a prior game.
Ftr that’s more of a recent consideration, my initial lean came from the feeling that I was being set up and your play felt more in line with that worldview if you are scum.

You're gonna have to be more specific about what you mean here because I have no idea what I could have done that seems like setting you up, at least in the negative sense you are conveying. Perhaps what your feeling comes from is the fact that I

am

setting you up, I am setting you up to win because I believe that you are the other town here. If you're scum, good job, you've fooled basically everyone. Since there's no need to beat around the bush here anymore and you've killed my hopes of getting to make a funny sudden goose-hammer, I'll just go ahead and do it.

VOTE: Hu Tao

I'm really not sure who is scum at the moment. If you're town Aureal I need you to give me a reason why I'm scum that's legitimate, because right now it does seem like you're playing both sides

This post... Good grief. "I don't know who's town.

You're

playing both sides." I am not playing both sides, I was playing

you

and now am being quite clear what I think because the other townie wants me to. I don't need to give

you

anything, this is just nonsensical shade. I am scumreading you, if you're town you needed to give

me

reason not to.

[Aureal]

This is me not hammering.

I love the sensation of being right.

Let's turn it into a win, too.

[Aureal]

You're awfully prepared with these defenses, Hu. Almost like you've thought them out in advance.

Seriously, you don't promptly give quote-walls explaining yourself on your 'reads' like this, even when you're asked. If you can parse posts in this depth to defend yourself, why don't you do it when talking about others?

[Aureal]

I am reading them btw. I want to go back to some notes I took D4 which were on how different players handled the Ircher wagon. I think that will probably be the main factor in my choice.

Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if the scum PT has Ircher going "hey guys I'm sick of rolling scum and don't really want to deal with this, just bus the heck out of me and ride your towncred."

I haven't really even looked back at day one, it's so nice how Hu has all this at her fingertips to refresh our memories! And here she was, so uncertain what to do just an hour ago.

Um what? What are you basing this idea of Ircher being sick of rolling scum on?

I think being the last Mafia left standing in Weird Dreams and Veiled Committee wasn't really to his liking, he seems pretty disgusted at the end there.

pedit: ...

ffs

[Aureal]

Hu really working on her burnishing her scummie nom :/

[Aureal]

It's really great to solve the damn game and have people not want to even talk to me.

[Aureal]

If you had a problem with my screwing around with Hu, why the hell did you not say so beforehand? Maaaaaaaaybe she wouldn't have shot Enchant if I didn't egg her on and you weren't giving me any reason to think you'd just decide to yolo vote me or I

would

have seen if I could mess with her to not shoot Enchant.

[Aureal]

Like, I literally considered replying to her post after the furtive flip where she says "I have no idea who's scum" with "oh reeeeeeeeeally?" and maybe they shoot me there instead but I wanted to keep my options open and didn't have a firm enough plan in mind to tip my hand yet.

[Aureal]

I was kinda shitting myself thinking I was being hoodwinked and set up to be the game-losing miselim. So I wanted to hold my fire until I had a sense of the situation

Nobody but Hu was doing that. How would that work, for me to be doing that when you're gonna see the PT I'd be doing it in and I know you're going to see it and am telling you about it?

[Aureal]

gonna start slowly doling these out today and tomorrow. i would do these all at once but i gotta stay mindful of the algorithm.

mafia thread - viewtopic.php?t=91816

to some extent, the mafia knowing about the neighborinos is kind of regrettable; obviously they were able to spot crumbs super easily. i probably should have let the neighborinos know that scum had copies of their role pm. my rationale was that it'd be balanced out by the extra vanilla townie clear.

Yeah, I was suspecting that scum were informed of the neighborinos. They were too precise in their nightkill targeting on them, like they knew this was a significant role.

don't forget to smash that like button

*smashes like button more*

[Aureal]

will try to remember to not forget to release the rest of the PTs tonight

*still robotically smashing the like button*
