Well hello there

Confirmation noted.

God it's been ages since I played a newbie, I need to go back and check what this means for the scummo team

Pavowski · Post Post #4 (ISO) » Tue Dec 27, 2022 3:23 am

Ahh it means basically nothing for the scummos. Cool!

I have never been a mason before, I don't think.

Day 1 begins.

MegAzumarill · Post Post #6 (ISO) » Tue Dec 27, 2022 8:25 am

only played with you and elements before

Pavowski · Post Post #7 (ISO) » Tue Dec 27, 2022 11:55 am

Yeah, that's kinda the draw of newbies, less meta reading of folks. Let's hope it's a good one! I will try my best not to out us as masons on d1!

My scumread on idle is about 50% pushing the game forward/RVS btw

Do like what little we have from cactus so far.

Pavowski · Post Post #9 (ISO) » Thu Dec 29, 2022 6:06 am

You're probably right on Cactus but he's coming in a little hot for my tastes. Doesn't necessarily say scum. Idle ... man I dunno, it's too early to say anything with any degree of anything like certainty, but I don't love the feel of 81.

Aureal and Charles are prime candidates for scum imo -- Aureal just straight-up trying to vibe (I should talk ... that's my d1 schtick but I do it as both alignments) and Charles RSV defense without adding anything is very meh.

The rest.... necesito mas

Mehhh I feel better about Aureal while she's grilling me here

Pavowski · Post Post #11 (ISO) » Fri Dec 30, 2022 3:50 am

Don't love Elements getting uptight over having a scumread on them this morning, honestly. Seems a bit of an overreaction for town.

Then again I don't super disagree with their take on Idle in 161.

MegAzumarill · Post Post #12 (ISO) » Fri Dec 30, 2022 4:19 am

Idle's had an odd reaction to the pressure on them, not too sure what it entails

Hard agree.

Is it too much of a reach to form a working theory that the cursed slot is a scum slot?

MegAzumarill · Post Post #15 (ISO) » Fri Dec 30, 2022 11:16 am

I mean I'm liking most of the other slots for town so wouldn't be surprised but that's not a very satisfying nor productive conclusion to reach publically at least.

How do you feel about Brick? I get a "doth protest too much" vibe

Pavowski · Post Post #17 (ISO) » Wed Jan 04, 2023 12:00 pm

I'm a little at a loss. I think we need to try to get brick but we have to be careful. If you get to e-1 we're going to have to claim.

MegAzumarill · Post Post #18 (ISO) » Wed Jan 04, 2023 1:06 pm

My Mason claim should be enough without outing you

Pavowski · Post Post #19 (ISO) » Wed Jan 04, 2023 1:36 pm

If we're going to out, we need to out together don't we? I can vouch for you and the NK will confirm whichever of us doesn't die. Unless scums get spicy and counter claim

Pavowski · Post Post #20 (ISO) » Wed Jan 04, 2023 2:00 pm

Ugh I don't have time to do a lot tonight. Claiming here is suboptimal but losing you is worse

MegAzumarill · Post Post #21 (ISO) » Wed Jan 04, 2023 2:15 pm

I mean I could claim a different role.
Mafia probably don't nightkill a Cop claim here if we are in column A because of Doc.

If we get CC'd we just both out as masons and trust town to win 6v1 mountainous

MegAzumarill · Post Post #22 (ISO) » Wed Jan 04, 2023 2:18 pm

I do usually advocate for a Cop claim rather than Mason for this reason.

Although a mason claim here looks like Brick is the partner, who I do think is town.Would move the elim to a better target (Weuler, Aureal, etc.) At the very least Brick probably eats the night 2 kill if they are town and are thought of as mason so you won't have to worry.

MegAzumarill · Post Post #23 (ISO) » Wed Jan 04, 2023 2:18 pm

By default I'll just do Mason and refuse to out my partner. If you'd prefer a different move just say so.

I think I like the cop thing if you feel you're about to get limmed. Forces them to consider the kill and gives us the option to mason claim after. My brain is fuckin fried; I don't have a better plan.
