i'm very much dissapointed in you Thomith
Trust me I'm disappointed in myself too lol.

Of course it would have been funny if this had actually gone through, but I got cold feet :lol:

With that being said, I do want to get some information out of Day 1 that a quick lim probably doesn't get us.

Naerys is probably right that there is a decent chance that the scum might have been hiding on the wagon as it was growing
I mean, a quick day 1 also gives our PRs extremely potent cover, but i totally get where you're coming from

It was 2329, check the scum thread. They basically got themselves eliminated early doors when some activity would have let the other scum save them.

i can't work outwhy you are so sure you have caught scum because of this. like, you have a good chance scum is in your grouping, but because of this i don't buy it.

Where do
you
think it should go?
No strong opinion, I was just interested who they thought because they clearly thought saving a Vanilla townie was important enough tonsavrifice someone else.

And just claiming VT day 1 in these circumstances doesn't necessarily mean they aren't a good option still.

Checking in.
That is a big hood. I don't think I've ever been in a game with one so large.

Was it any use? Like....I can't see a point of it. I am assuming there is scum in there reporting back (unless scum don't have day talk), so thebhood can't use it to stratergise or anything?

It just seems a pointless waste of mental spaceship?

Was someone really trying to keep it hidden to bait out a private thread investigator?
That seems an epically useless role That I cannotnwork out it's in game use except to confuse a townie.

Like....I am tempted to just ignore the hood. We have all made The assumption there is scum in there, but i dont think the odds are any better than a Random player in the game so it isn't much use for a scum hunting tactic.

Or am I totally missing something? Some better than me explain it otherwise?

I think the odds are much better choosing 1 out of 5 instead of 1 of 8 (if you’re ignoring the hood, 1 of 13 if not)
Unless you’re arguing it’s not guaranteed that scum is in the 5. But everyone with experience so far has said there pretty much has to be (high percentage)
Sure, I highly doubt all scum are contained in the neighborhood so we still have a shot of catching scum outside but I wouldn’t say our odds are “better”.

But also I don’t fall under the “someone better than me” to explain so feel free to ignore.
Assuming there is 1 scum in the hood, that is 1 in 5.
Assuming then 2 scum not in the hood, that is 2 in 10. (Well 9 because I'm not in the hood)

I have no idea what you mean with 1 in 13??

This is honestly reading like you are concerned that a town core is forming within the hood, and one half of that is suspecting you, so you are trying to break it up.
With two VT going away outside the hood there was no choice but to bring the hood up today.
You ignored the hood before today, again had no choice but look at it.
I don't see how a town-town core can be formed within the hood if noone looks at it. Scum-scum or scum-townie core is much easier.
I
wanted
to bring up the hood yesterday, knowing it likely meant we would sort within the hood yesterday?
When it was decided to keep the hood hidden yesterday to see if someone TMI'd it, why would it make sense to push someone in the hood, forcing the hood to be revealed, when it was discussed that the hood should be left to Day 2, to try and either catch a TMI, or verify a PT Cop - both of these being Titus' suggestions.
who decided this?
i think we all are thinking there is a scum in the hood, and they would have warned their partners about its existence and this would never have happened.
is there another reason someone would have wanted it postponed for a day??

Why?

Could you also explain how 2 people who strongly town read each other is "easy for scum to hide behind"?
because one may not be town and have bamboozled the other. i think it is in the interest of scum to form "town blocks" and cruise through the game

Gypyx has been so obviously been trying to solve the game here and in the hood, that I doubt I'm wrong on this, but I see your point.
if you can see someone else's point then i think i've made it well enough

i think you're misundersteanding me, i'm not saying that we run through snow / ranger / titus without discussion, this is more of me preassuming that they'll flip scum and how to work on that

you are obviously not forced to trust me but i hope you'll come around to it eventually since that's a read i'm pretty confident in
oh, it very much read like that was what you wanted to happen and we should all just go along with it.

i was not liking that at all.

I don't like Dave, but I also don't like self-proclaimed Thomith-Gypyx townblock.

In post 851, geraintm wrote:your read list barely changes. you not got tunneled on gypyx?
Being tunneled is an accusation often levied against me despite my very philosophy embodying the opposite. Generally, I hold a skeptical eye towards those doing so, as their callout usually carries an agenda; "X is tunneled" is oft synonymous with "X's reads are not to be trusted", and thus 'tunneled' is a charged term inherently carrying a negative connotation that detracts from the value of my contributions.

In this case, I've good reasons from the neighborhood to hold suspicion of Gypyx and Thomith, yet nothing is set in stone. I've already experienced doubts after engaging with Gypyx, as Gypyx's responses to me felt plausibly town. My reads are fluid and subject to change at a moment's notice. Notably, I've gained greater suspicion of you from this comment.
Hmm, I can't really disagree much with stuff you are pulling from thr Hood hat:(

This has an air of "don't look at me I'm Towning," and it irks my gut.
Sorry.
I still.cant work it into but glad now I didn't jump on the Ranger wagon

Mh main problem ks everyone seems determined to eliminate in the hood today, but from an odds perspective it just doesn't seem to have a higher probability of hitting scum than either a) shooting outside the good, b) aiming at someone who has been scummy.

I just can't understand why people have such a hard on for it , I honestly don't.

Gypyx not understanding people's concerns with the Hood 1st policy is annoying and odd. A couple of us have brought it up and they are just refusing to see our point of view.

RE: Ranger - i don't have a reason to doubt the claim. Maybe others do, but not me. Oblivion is worried that they will get a free pass till later in the game, which is true, but it would then give us a really obvious elimination later on which is a huge plus to me.

ok, a little catching up to do.

start here
In post 1408, Thomith wrote: VOTE: Snow
this vote, combined with them jumping on late yesterday raises concerns. if there was a bus then this is where i think it was, following up with trying to direct day 3 so obviously.

post 1412 is almost like they have set up snow for a while to take the fall today. lycan has also been setting snow up.

(i kinda want to flip snow because it gives so much info about people)

Snow's entry is very defensive.
In post 1428, Thomith wrote:
FWIW this is where I think I am right now:
Lycanfire
Snow2697
[/b]
this is so weird, these 3 are locked in a weird death spiral with each other. strongly think there is at least 1 scum in there. just doesn't make sense otherwise, feels like someone has been caught and scum is lashing out in the group
In post 1432, Oblivion wrote: It will only kill Naerys today.
why?
In post 1434, Snow2697 wrote:
If not the hood, an option can be to look at Naerys-geraintm (both did not vote scum!Dave, but voted town!NAS) and also at Wisp-Naerys conflict dating back to D1 (Wisp looks more town due to his vote into Ranger on D2).
Penguin voted scum!Ranger, so some details on why he is scum might be helpful.
you do know day 1 i will just vote the biggest thread?
yesterday i had no strong view on who was scum or not, certainly i had nothing to indicate Ranger was scum, hence my not voting.
In post 1437, Thomith wrote:

If I was scum why would I swing the momentum back to execute Ranger when it seemed that momentum may have begun picking up elsewhere?
what momentum elsewhere? it was clear Ranger was going yesterday from early on, there was at least 1 scum on their wagon if not both.
In post 1443, Oblivion wrote: It is considering a Mass Claim at this point. We have had 2 nights of actions, it wonders if a third benefits us over forcing claims.

It would like to do this in a Popcorn styling.
i think i am in favour of this, feels like some good claims will trap scum with nowhere else to go. ranger already got done with a bad claim so i dont think scum are good at coming up with good claims between them
In post 1444, Thomith wrote:
In post 1442, Oblivion wrote: We will see. It is most amused you believe you get to dictate today.

Snow is off the table.
I'm not stating I get to dictate the day. In fact I said I'm willing to go outside the hood because I may be tunnelled, I'm just voting my biggest scumread right now.
your snap vote post 1 today certainly gave the mpression you wanted to

i think though VOTE: naerys. the way they jumped off Ranger straight after the claim and gave the impression they did not want to go in thehood. also things like this
In post 269, Naerys wrote:
In post 265, Thomith wrote: Any further thoughts on this yet?
Not fond of the way Titus and gera switched to dave tbh
also kinda dont like Penguin´s position on Wisp, but also i dont like Wisp himself and the way he "suspects" me

On the other side i think dave could be town, he doesnt really feel different from his previous towny games. So i think looking into those, who think dave could be scum is warranted

I kinda doubt this the game where that happens

it would also probably be more appropriate to do it Day 4 as like, we are a day late when compared to the mini you're mentionning
I'll bow down to more experienced players on this

Re: mass claim.

i thought it was a good idea. but if others think it is bad then shut it down.

or if it goes ahead and someone doesn't want to come forward with their role then that is fine too

Gypyx: I was busy...
There is smth that I dislike here. Especially if Gypyx keeps saying "Snow scum" and "I am the leader of the town".

So I'm assuming you believe me/gypyx are scum together?
I tend to beleive claims until proven otherwise.
Your.claim won't stand up in game for long if false and you both won't be allowed to live till the end so I think I am OK with you staying alive for now.

Because when Gypyx flips town, I 100% die next, since I will be confirmed at that point.

Random Nurse is actively working to remove two people who are sure of each other being town from the game, which is benefits scum.

WHO CARES if you die as Town?

Town doesn't GAF about self-preservation, and Informed Town Neighbors is a big pile of nothing when it comes to Town power.
this just in Masons is a useless role

Town-Informed Neighbors.

But now you're clarifying that your role PM says "Mason," Gypyx?
Masons are a group of people who mutually know they're town and have a PT together

Me and Thomith are a group of people who mutually know they're town and have a PT together

the word isn't there but i'm calling it that

I thought I was actually being more active in this game than normal.

I was happy to vote within the Snow / gypyx pair because it really felt like flipping one of them would give us a ton of info about the dynamics between a bunch of players. No one has really stood out to me as scummy (I didn't see what everyone else saw in ranger) and so I have been voting with snow and gypyx, but then the mason thing came up and so thaglt isn't likely to happen now and I am back to being confused again

I vote day 1 to get it over with as quickly as possible.

Day 2 I don't see what everyone else sees in ranger, but I'm notnprivy to the super secret town block thing going on.

Day 3 I believe I either voted with the super secret townie block, or voted against them because there was a super secret townie block that was just behaving weird as anything.

I don't know how you can say all my votes are bad?

its worked out really well for them. i had them as my top scum at one point and voted there but their absence really helped keep them out of people's eye

looking at psyche.
i think this was my last interaction with them,

In post 2056, Psyche wrote: all of gera's votes are bad
but he's definitely playing differently from that game where he was scum
i want to think he's just learning that coasting is not the mosting
All of then?
I vote day 1 to get it over with as quickly as possible.

Day 2 I don't see what everyone else sees in ranger, but I'm notnprivy to the super secret town block thing going on.

Day 3 I believe I either voted with the super secret townie block, or voted against them because there was a super secret townie block that was just behaving weird as anything.

I don't know how you can say all my votes are bad?
they didn't respond to it. you cant sit there and say someone's votes are all bad and not reply when they respond.

their last 20 posts or so....i get nothing from it. it is all snippy little fights with mutliple people, and then glad there is at least a competing wagon against them. like, they just tried to get something going with anyone to maybe not get themselves pushed through today. it just doesn't look very towny at all.

Lycan

in my 1479 i pinpointed Lycan as being part of the weird Thomith/Snow/Lycan triangle that was going on, this was before i knew about the Gypyx/Thom thing. lycan jumping along those two to push Snow is maybe odd?

reding their posts, they latched onto Psyche early on and havent let up. no flailing around, just happy that they are going.

overall, VOTE: Psyche seems the much better bet to be scum.

but hmmm actually the naerys vote

You voted Psyche in like your post 83, you've revoted them a bunch of times. 30 posts or so from you when you haven't changed your view point at all is you being on them early.

My post 1479 was an age ago in the game, and at the time before the gypyx/Thom stuff came out it was fair to focus on how there was a weird grouping of people all circling around each other.
Did you bring up that at the time??

1. We have a pair of scums or a pair of towns Thomith-Gypyx.
2. They seem to stop scumreading people once the latter stop conflicting with them. Weird. But this can be their desire to protect each other.
3. So, what to do? One approach is to "test" and lim one of them. May be not worth it.
4. The other is that lim one of Thomith-Gypyx later after we milim towns (query is how many tries we give them). If so, another query is how many power we give them in directing a lime (since they will be responsible for a mislim/s).
5. In the scenario where Thomith-Gypyx are town, I would probably focus on Naerys.
they surely know they wont be allowed to survive too long and will be pushed out by us before it gets too close to the end.

ok, ignoring the bit about my interaction with you that you did reply to (i brought it up because i needed to remind mysel what i thought about you previously)
(not looking at every posst)

2205- defeatist post
2201 - wants now to sheep Gypys.thom

2194 - snips at me for my read on lycan being poor and how i will look bad after they flip (though there would be 5 other people on the same wagon, wont they all look equally bad?)

2188 - zero content interaction with Kay and Naerys

219 - defeatist post
2175 - very deafeatist post

2170 - snippy

2168 - snippy

2156 - frustrated post

2148 - very defeatist post

so i stand by my view that your last series of posts are snippy. you just have the vibe of someone who has relaced in to a scum slot and cannot change the narrative. coupled with scum going down yesterday i wouldnt blame you.


i note in your 2194 you don't actually bother to dispute my read on you

It would be stupid of scum to tie themselves together like that so yeah i think gypyx and thom are town
It is certainly my assumption until proved otherwise.

I was trying to respond to your 2194, where you said much of my post was bad but also that you had replied to my question.

So I took that on board and went back and reread your posts and tried to explain jn greater detail why when comparing the two options (that were on the table at the time) you came off worse.
You ignored the 1st time what I said about you (apart from the question) and this second time you have just hand waved what I said away again as none of it is scummy. Well, sorry, to me it doesn't look good.

So much of her frustration feels genuine and I’d be just as annoyed if I just got pushed out for being wrong (and I might be next, it seems). Maybe it’s because I’ve sort of been in the same boat as her much of the game, or at least adjacent, but I feel like I get where she’s coming from. She was wrong, but she wasn’t the only person who was wrong and it seems weird to not be considering anyone that was on the wagon to be bussing.

In post 1303, Oblivion wrote: Ranger's claim is so many levels of BS.

Does no one except it remember when Ranger bragged about how surprised it woupd be about her claim and then claimed the least surprising most obvious bait claim in the world that didn't match that tone at all?

What is going to happen is that Ranger will live today if you let her, live tomorrow on promise of shooting someone but you will never get that shot. Either they will claim to be roleblocked or shoot a townie and then if you go "okay time to sort ranger" it is MELO and you won't have space to do it.

Now is the time to murder this suspicious player with a suspicious claim. Town does not need a N3 Vig or a N4 Jailkeeper, and more likely it is a scum fake claim.

We should not be running up other players to claim to feed the scum more info on our roles.

Murder Ranger with it, they will flip scum.
would have to be some pretty vigorous bussing! i don't believe it at this point

Well, the 4 uncoloured players on the NAerys wagon are a half decent place to start.

Lycanfire - voted for ranger D1 and D2
Oblivion - not voting Day 1, then on Ranger Day 2
Psyche - on NotaScum day 1, then Ranger day 2
Random Nurse - on notascum day 1, then ranger day 2

some quick thoughts back .

In post 2262, Oblivion wrote: VOTE: Naerys

Naerys being utterly silent while other people go under a microscope only to reappear again when they come back under pressure is not a townie mentality. It still worries about Jay but Naerys is in its mind the one who tried to save Ranger.
these followed the Snow vote on Naerys and look bad

Oblivion's posting tone throughout the game is off. just negative and downbeat most of the time

Lycan was against the massclaim for a while before coming around - was this due to chat in the scrum thread?

im not doing this justice as i am half watching the rugby

back to thoughts.

Random Nurse looks good with the push on ranger day 2. like, i don't see why they would have started there and then kept it there without moving off when the slot gave the oppotunity to when Ranger really started pushing back. this just seems an easy slot to clear and i don't think i will spend much more time worrying about them until it gets much later in the game

so, i did go over them yesterday, and i did make a mistake about their not answering a post i made at them.

that was what i wrote then, and after that we had some more back and forth. i expanded on my thoughts in 2228 and i think they kinda left me alone. i think we became a bit more in sync with our views on the game as the day went on.

i think Oblivion and Lycan look worse, Random Nurse looks fine, Psyche not as bad. But i think the odds of hitting scum among those 2 (+1) are pretty good and i'll write more on Oblivion and Lycan tomorrow and see what has occured in case either of them has done stuff that i should have remembered that was especially townie.

This take is awful?
what am i missing?
how is it so awful?
Our game is 10 vt, vengeful, ~~~neighbour~~~, triple scum neighbour?

This has an overly optimistic view of neighbours being protown and in this setup there's a great chance of pocketing the vengeful neighbour and using it against town. Even with that optimism the setup seems busted to me. It relies on fog of war to stop scum from freely killing whoever they heck they want.
so, if the game is 12 vs 3, i think it means scum can afford to lose 1 player in the first 5 days to get into the Mis Elim and win situation.
Is that considerd fair and realistic? with the pair of known townies and the vengeful townie, is it likely that 3 scum can last that long?

11 vs 4, i think they get to the Mis Elim and win on day 5 with losing only 1 scum.

am convinced by the towncase for all the others, maybe most controversially lycanfire and oblivion

and i'm probably still inclined to take kayjayqueue out of this pool, but i can't say i have strong reasons for it
what i want to look for atm are any details that could convince me that this poe is wrong
if not, i'll focus on presenting why it's probably right
i'm still never quiet sure what your case on me is, apart from my posts don't meet your standards.
i've never claimed to be a good player, and i am doing the best i can with what i've got. i normally rely on scum being boxed in as the game goes on (which is why i liked the idea of a massclaim when it was first proposed) but this game, where we don't seem to be getting any info from night actions at all is really hard for me.
In post 2702, Psyche wrote:
is maybe harsh to put it this way, but none of gera's votes or posts have meaningfully advanced the game and all of his votes have been away from scum
how do you expect me to push the game on? i felt day 2 i was trying to be more active than i normally am, and then the two townies came forward and they became the leaders of what direction town should be heading in. i cna't push if i don't have anything to push with?

this my post 2189?
that was me popping into thread quickly, being aware stuff was going on and saying i would be back later - it was nearly 24 hours before i was able to post and when i posted i think the two wagons were pretty close but the Two Townies were split or not voiting or something and i thought they would agree on which way to go

KAy's post 2760 seems opportunistic waiting

I need to go and look at Enchant, because i cannot fathom their play today at all.

set up spec isn't my bag at all. im still trying to work out if we are playing vs 3 or 4 and so if the showdown with gypyx & thom needs to happen sooner rather than later. i think they need to be tested at some point - i don't especially want to get into the end game vs them.

my gut says they are town, i've been assuming they are town, but i don't think we lose too much in killing one at some point.

they have to recognise that the rest of us have to doubt them and cannot give them a free pass the rest of the game.

Low key thought the same.

Random Nurse I think is potentially town due to how he is voting.
Oblivion seems to be suspicious of us in a way that it feels like it is genuinely trying to solve us.
Gera kind of hopped on once the pressure was on us (I don't remember if gera has expressed doubt of the claim before today)

I tend to beleive claims until proven otherwise.
Your.claim won't stand up in game for long if false and you both won't be allowed to live till the end so I think I am OK with you staying alive for now.
I haven't doubted your claim, I am pretty sure I have said I trust it, but I said right at the start that I thought you two wouldn't be allowed to both stay alive right until the end of the game.

now psyche is scum reading me because of stuff that i havent done but someone else has so i have zero way of interacting with that except to go Nu huh! and i am never going to be able to out post them to win an argument with them so that leaves me cold too.

this is where in my iso i start digging into gera. 2702 goes into the most depth.
gist is that he makes a lot of noise about sorting, a lot of complaining about others' approaches/heuristics, saying this or that is useless, unsubstantial, fluff --
but does little real sorting on his own and producing wallposts that only look substantial if you're not paying attention
all this makes all the talk look pretty hollow and performative in retrospect. i used the word "busybody" when you and i were discussing this earlier.

maybe most striking gap is in his positioning around ranger on D2
he never gets around to expressing even one read on the slot or on others' reads on the slot.
the closest he gets is expressed dissatisfaction with the idea of limming inside the game's neighborhood.
his excuse D3 was that he was always null about ranger (and everyone?), but we don't even see any effort to clarify his read on ranger that day.
mostly just drifting and drifting -- but performed as if not that.

lots of slots have drifted this game and avoided active work to clarify nullreads but gera's has signs of disingenuousness to it
but im like this every game? i havent and never have generated reads on people when i have nothing to go on. i recognised ages ago that i am not great at this game, i kept getting into end games and being the mis vote that lost games for town.
i worked out that there are much better players than me in every game i am in and i need to follow much more what they are doing. i don't jump the gun until i see enough info and facts that come through the game.

it is just infuriating that in this game, there is no info coming through. set up appears to have town having zero night actions! i don't think ive ever been in a game like that before! i kinda assume that town after like 3 days of half decent play can trap scum through claims. scum just end up nowhere to go. why i wanted a massclaim early on.

so yeah you are right, i never get round to expressing a read in this game. but i don't have anything to do that with. i said early on that i thought killing in the hood a second time was bad maths,that is about as far as i have gone.

i normally hope to just keep being as townie as i can as the game goes on and hope that at some point scum kill me.

Mhsmith got me on faking anger before as scum.

More opinions please.
What is wrong with the word infuriating?
.it is much easier to catch scum if you know...we can actually catch them. I still think the 1st scum was caught through luck, and if we hadn't then we would be sitting here with no agency to the game at all.

I would rather no kill day 1 than anything.
I think the only people who control day 1 are scum, and town is pushed into awkward positions running up people and getting claims. I have in thr past been killed day 1 because I refused to claim.

So I now just vote longest wagon in the hope of it ending as quickly as possible with as little collateral damage as we can.

Then....then night happens and town can (usually) start hunting from a non blind position.

Or am I totally missing something? Some better than me explain it otherwise?
I think the odds are much better choosing 1 out of 5 instead of 1 of 8 (if you’re ignoring the hood, 1 of 13 if not)
Unless you’re arguing it’s not guaranteed that scum is in the 5. But everyone with experience so far has said there pretty much has to be (high percentage)
Sure, I highly doubt all scum are contained in the neighborhood so we still have a shot of catching scum outside but I wouldn’t say our odds are “better”.

But also I don’t fall under the “someone better than me” to explain so feel free to ignore.
Assuming there is 1 scum in the hood, that is 1 in 5.
Assuming then 2 scum not in the hood, that is 2 in 10. (Well 9 because I'm not in the hood)

I have no idea what you mean with 1 in 13??
How did he know this early d2
Because every game I play has 3 scum in it, and I will ebelieve that unless proved otherwise.

Penguin voted scum!Ranger, so some details on why he is scum might be helpful.

On the other side i think dave could be town, he doesnt really feel different from his previous towny games. So i think looking into those, who think dave could be scum is warranted

non-ranger voter. no charisma. checks the box of teammate that didn't save ranger when ranger wanted to live. attitude seems fakeable, poe is way too large. went contrarian on our asses yesterday in the same vein as random nurse. didn't like how he made you v me yesterday a binary foregone conclusion. I think ranger could have tried to fake sort him better, but she obviously didn't care because they were partners. he also randomly shifted multiple spots for no reason at all in her tierlists.
If I was partnered with ranger, wouldn't I have been more active in trying to save them? I would have done something to Tey and keep them around rather than dithering. I'm obvious as scum because I panic and vote quickly and often to further my aims, but yoy are saying I did none of that and so I'm scum?

Like....I'm not great at this but give me some credit in that I would have done something to generate a wagon away from my partner? It just doesn't compute to me. I often go on votes as definitive actions you can mark as players choices, but yoy can look at non votes too

This would have been a great point for me to decide Hu Toa was scum and push that wagon along and get momentum going, but I didn't.

about the only thing i did well then.

i hated this game, i felt like i had no agency as scum, everything just sorta flowed and town only needed to pay attention to the voting to get there. once we got behind, we couldnt come back.

rolling scum with Kay though was just !! and a cosmic joke
