I got the role I wanted YAAY

Pure, unadulterated evil

VOTE: Dunn

fun is over

[yessiree]

Can it say that while it intellectually understands that all this masonry talk is kind of town block building from the foundation of what appears to be prior friendships for the sake of building something, emotionally this just feels like an in-group deciding who is and isn't town based on said friendships and gaining voting block control to dictate how things go, and it really doesn't know how to remotely interact with it. It feels massively uncomfortable, and it makes it sort of not want to interact with anyone who participates.

In short, it sucks that the depth of about four different players content in this game is wholy this thing, and that this thing is more or less just an exclusion method. It hates it, quite a bit.

let's build our own masonry with blackjacks and hookers

[yessiree]

i have a crazy theory that the scum team is June + Pavowski + one of the 123s (Dunn)

I will sign off on this. Well maybe not dunnyboi

ok, switch Dunn with firebringer

VOTE: Dunn

I don't see this at all tbh but I always hated fun

i was literally about to vote you

well played ducky

[yessiree]

Good morning fellow townies!

incredible! lock town

[yessiree]

yeah i feel sick im not on ducky's team

[yessiree]

yessiree and me would make a good scum team i think

i still need to level up some more

one day

[yessiree]

idk who i would kill regardless of what Gob flipped. I haven't really been thinking about any associations if gob was scum. I don't even really think gob is scum right now, we are assuming a lot of things at this point and bound to be wrong on a few assumptions.

If gob is town then idk what that means for June or Dunnyboi
If gob is scum it probably means at least June is town

is gob someone ur actively interested in killing, or just ur top choice in a vacuum?

is there anything u can say to the gob-june t/m vibe here or just a vibe

i don't really vibe with this line of questioning

feels like something only scum would ask

[yessiree]

I'll never sellout to ducky mega corp!!

[yessiree]

feels like i shouldn't use ducky anymore since im really talking to my supervisor

sorry for the disrespect mr

[yessiree]

yeah confirming without posting is prob a scum claim anyways

VOTE: brian skies

[yessiree]

Was the Dunn vote rvs? was I baited?

Semi srs, he posted unsolicited self meta to towncase himself

[yessiree]

look on the bright side

only 19 pages

[yessiree]

someone summarize all 19 pages to me

this is such a fall from grace from your banger of an entrance

[yessiree]

oh yay, wagons

VOTE: brian skies

what was this for? They seem good to me

you've quoted the answer

I dont get it. Care to explain it to me?

hello have we found the wolves yet

Dunno but I'm going long on penguin power stonks

[yessiree]

Duck have I played with town you

I have genuinely flushed most of my memory over the last 12 months but...honestly my memories of us are mostly s/s (that was a treat) and s/t (which makes me sad)

U might not remember me

But I remember you

[yessiree]

This is a post to say I’m still here.

FF7 is more important. See you all tomorrow.

Wow this is basically me but with last epoch

[yessiree]

UNVOTE:

[yessiree]

I've had several recent town losses where scum was eliminated d1 and it didn't help in the slightest.

This is a vibe I'm starting to get from the concept of yeeting NotAScum

HUH?

I'll catch up later when I'm in office

i think NotAScum is pretty yeetable and probably actually scum but it doesn't feel like a smart wagon rn

dont worry, im here

keep calm and yeet scum

[yessiree]

ok im in office now but i lied haha im not gonna catchup yet

[yessiree]

let's lim yessiree

yeah lets

good things happen when people try to lim me

[yessiree]

he's voting someone who isn't even on his list of 5 scum suspects in a game with 3 scum oh maybe I hate that.......

i wanted to let the wagons between brian and me play out a bit more, cause i was already getting some reads out of it

but i didn't have anything better to post at the time, so i went ahead and posted that

[yessiree]

We aren’t yeeting dave or Pav today.

what's your cutoff line, then, 4th?

Idk…I don’t want a hard line but the top 3 or 4 likely got a role or got nothing and can get caught…yesireeish is the line.

is this ur only reason for not going after dave/pav today because they are top drafts? or u have a read on those slots

[yessiree]

i wanted to let the wagons between brian and me play out a bit more, cause i was already getting some reads out of it

but i didn't have anything better to post at the time, so i went ahead and posted that

i don't actually think i believe in the relative strength of those reads all that much

june & dunn were both low-content and unreadable at that point.
i was a pretty popular scumread so am not surprised about being in that tier, nor is it noteworthy that you had me there.

pavowski & notascum are both genuinely intriguing but you don't feel interested in pressing there.

you had your vote on brian skies who you townread - and now you've unvoted despite wagons picking up and you having several scum/non-town reads?
where are you at? i don't even need you to catch up i just can't work out what's going on

thats ok my day 1 reads are not that accurate anyway, but i thought it would still be good to put them out there

as to why i townread brian, i can dig the thought process of him scumreading me based on how i joined his wagon, and linking pav and me as some sort of distancing play. It's basically how i would approach early game, only reason i called it a shitpush is cause the conclusion he drew about me is wrong

June and pav was two-fold, one was mostly vibe, the other is mechanical that i will not out yet, the only reason i suspected them is cause only they happened to fall in this overlap

dunn i already gave reasonings for
noteascum had a stellar entrance but ruined it by asking people to summarize the game

[yessiree]

I feel like I’ve said that already.

yea mb im not fully caught up yet, this post just happened to caught my eye

[yessiree]

Please tell me more about notascum’s stellar entrance.

Good morning fellow townies!

[yessiree]

Please tell me more about notascum’s stellar entrance.

Good morning fellow townies!

Yes…tell me more about why/how that is “stellar”

if i need to explain it it loses its magic

[yessiree]

what's your spiciest read?

we have get acquainted more before i'll out my spiciest read

[yessiree]

it was penguinpower's fault not mine

but i had a feeling notascum was gonna post that regardless of whether that convo was had beforehand

[yessiree]

remind me why there's a wagon on brian again?

[yessiree]

remind me why there's a wagon on brian again?

do u have any reason to townread him outside of the one you dropped?

I asked the question first

[yessiree]

ducky were u always this tryhard that u feel like u need to re-evaluate ur entire reads half way into day 1?

what HAPPENED

[yessiree]

i think it was may that said his reads list is like overly forced and I largely agree

I'm not sure I actually believe the pav/yessiree connection is something town actually sees rather than scum forcing themselves to make content

ok i could see that, but it was mostly the bullishness with his farfetched scumreads that made me want to lean town on him

[yessiree]

No reason to sort ducky tbh.

[yessiree]

dann is cooking with that brian take, i'll need to revisit that at some point

on an unrelated note, i think my mental image of the worst is prolly outdated

you're not a snuggly duckling anymore, you're sir duckington now

[yessiree]

I've had several recent town losses where scum was eliminated d1 and it didn't help in the slightest.

This is a vibe I'm starting to get from the concept of yeeting NotAScum

HUH?

i think NotAScum is pretty yeetable and probably actually scum but it doesn't feel like a smart wagon rn

yea i had to do a double take on this because reading it made me raise an eyebrow first and then reading the explanation gave me whiplash

if u think the former, you wouldn't have an issue with people pushing that slot
if u think the latter, you wouldn't have held that predisposition in the first place

i dont mean this as a "gotcha" like i caught soemone doing a contradiction, i genuinely can't imagine how u can come to these conflicting opinions about a particular slot

am i being too harsh on ducky? or i just dont like the way he waddles right now

[yessiree]

EDWOP

predisposition -> proposition

[yessiree]

that's fair if u think pushing NAS won't compel him to produce any meaningful content, but it should still force his teammates to make a play around it, so that should still be a net positive imo

thats the reason im so hung up on that take

[yessiree]

The universe conspires against me. Got corrupted disk and can't boot to os. Backup hard drive is gonezo too. Gonna be a mobile gamer for a while

I townread pp. Why do you hard townread pp?

i liked his loosely aggressive style

pedit: bro lemme post

[yessiree]

that's how cool i am.

well caffeine is an ethical substance so hold ur horses

I feel like yessiree is using his vote in the least towny way possible at any time and I wonder if it's a personality trait. I don't recall yessiree being a tryhard or anything but I don't remember him being like... fake...

What makes u think I'm being fake?

And i agree with this assessment. i don't think yessiree is actually interested in playing the game, moreso just vibin' and having a good time. I think it's suspicious.

I'm not having a good time. There are too many content police around.

[yessiree]

I think he's used to the way I played several years ago, where I was a lot more bubbly and flamboyant.

This is how i remembered your style too. A lot of your interactions at the start felt forced and that made you come off as a scum tryhard tyring to talk his way out of suspicions.

idk if I can say you've become easier to read

[yessiree]

content police?

People complaining about too many posts
People complaining about too many shitposts
People complaining about there not being enough quality contentTM

[yessiree]

Good point.

[yessiree]

Had to jump into a meeting. Catching up

[yessiree]

yessire what do you think about Firebringer and his continued push on me?

It reads pretty towny to me. Reminds me a lot of Black actually tbh.

Why is he pushing you?

[yessiree]

Gob you remind me a lot of your day 1 play in the cop 19er that just finished - scattered, random, and lacking of a laser focus mindset

Maybe he sees the same things I'm seeing.

[yessiree]

Still onboard with a NAS lim

[yessiree]

what is the difference between town!gob and scum!gob to you

I have not played with town gob before but from what I've seen, town gob really tries to win and that singular desire drives him

It still doesn't know what to think of Yessirree if it's being honest. It feels totally confused by how they approach the game.

It give me the vibe it views things in black and white, and I'm in the grey zone. So that's fine.

It is capable of nuance, but it does tend to... how does it explain.

It builds mental models to understand others because it does not easily or naturally comprehend them without that framing? It finds them useful for predicting behaviour and analyzing intent. It thinks itself pretty good at those things, once it has that lock on.

It is having a harder time locking on to you than others, and it attributes that to not having had as much direct connection. Would you be willing to rectify this with it sometime soon?

Sure, it has my attention

Can you explain to it your read on... any three slots you feel strongly on, give it a breakdown as if you were attempting to teach it how to come to the same conclusion as you.

I don't have any strong feelings on a particular slot. My holistic take is that there are probably 2 scums in this group. I'm not sure how I can break it down for you in detail other than to say that's the lens I'm using to view the game as a whole.

davesaz 6
Ydrasse 10
Pavowski 11
gob 55

and 1 scum in this group

NotAScum 2
the worst 3
Brian Skies 3

The people not on this list are my townreads and I'm largely tuning their interactions out as noise to reduce my cognitive load.

[yessiree]

yesssiree what do u say to the accusation that u seem more focused and on point with ur thoughts and analysis compared to cop 17er

I would say you're shmoking some good shit

[yessiree]

Can you explain the reasonings that gave you the conclusions of those breakdowns, if possible?

Vibes, superstition, and blind faith

That is to say these are drawn from logic or evidence but from gut feelings

what about me interests you?

Wasn't trying to fix your read. Just a tongue in cheek response

Not sure why you treat everything I say as a business transaction...

[yessiree]

Still don't understand why you think me being interested in sorting you would warrant you "fixing" your read on me tho?

Wait could that be a slip?

Gob can you stop pretending to be clueless

nope, that read is void now since that whole read list was hinging on scum picking rolecop

[yessiree]

VOTE: gob

[yessiree]

Is worstie perhaps going to get more confused by me not leaving an ostensible read on gob

[yessiree]

Respectfully worstie, I don't wanna engage with you much more this day phase. I feel like you're just going to give me diplomatic, politically-correct responses that are not helpful at all for me to get a read on you. I will probably delegate that responsibility elsewhere

[yessiree]

Y'all might not know this, but Gob is a very intelligent and observant player.

He not the type of guy to make silly mistakes like confusing "ducky" and the worst as two different people, and actually believing Dannold to be voting randomly

The only reason I can think of for him to be feigning ignorance like that is that he's just scum

[yessiree]

I don't know why rolecop is a bad draft either

I think rolecop is more useful for scum than town, plus I didn't expect a 3rd pick to choose that role given there are imo better options

I could just be completely off base though since it's kinda hilarious the 3rd last pick got 1-shot watcher

[yessiree]

Actually ig yessiree has me & brian as clear in his vibe solve now that's kinda fun

yes, based on my draft order and what I tried to draft

Do you know me from somewhere by any chance?

I legit had no clue ducky was the worst, and i think that is pretty reasonable. Same with the dannflor vote.

I mean i do feign ignorance, I won't deny that. But I was truly ignorant about those two things.

Literally just played with you in the cop 19er where I had to argue with multiple people on why your slot was scum, when they were using meta to townread you

[yessiree]

also don't want to hear anything about the speed of gob wagon is indicative that gob isn't scum here. There is only one other scum assuming gob is scum as well. Scum barely have ability to influence wagons here.

My take on this:

The speed of the Gob wagon is more indicative of the playerbase's general will to get rid of an annoying player (a policy axe, if you will) rather than any one team pushing for an axe.

I will say though that this assumption (that scum have little power to dictate wagons) only holds if scum are in the lurkers and not in the active players. If, as an example, Firebringer and Dave were both scum, then the wolves would have a huge influence over what wagons get pushed.

that's a spicy If, but I like how only you tried to offer a plausible explanation on the speed of the gob

[yessiree]

Why couldn't scum pick the same numbers

I think it's a lot less likely given they chose informed

why are those ideas connected to you

I'm starting to wonder why they don't seem to be connected to anybody else

I’ve been part of a town that was beat by a scumteam that did just that. Everyone was like “scum wouldn’t do that.”

But

They

Did

Hmm, I wouldn't say Dannold is cleared cleared but I'll still say he's cleared

[yessiree]

Hi. See my townbloc.

Any reason you didn't include dave in that bloc?

Hi. See my townbloc.

gob whats ur read on the worst

dont really have one so far

I really do not like the compesition of the worst wagon .

Run it up everyone. This person is scum most likely. Their jump onto worst is bad or something

yea im townreading worst now. Like his tone.

yeah it's a napkin math level read, but I think it checks out
