I didn't see Nancy was technically VLA, and since I know Nancy posts the majority out of Venus and Mars, I'm willing to let that VLA go through, so I have a replacement request out, but I won't actively look to replace until November 1st, when her VLA ends. I will be adding 48 hours to the countdown to deal with the empty slot, making the deadline end on November 3rd.

Hi, I’m back now, so please replace Sailor Senshi with Venus and Mars (hydra with me and Shiro), thanks.

I obviously didn’t anticipate this happening, so I didn’t think it necessary to inform you.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Nancy can you give me a brief collection of your town hydra games? Shiro or anyone else can do it too but I figured I’d ask the relevant person first

Sure, we’ve only been town and this the fourth game. 1) Boon - To Be or Not to Be, Boon uPick. The anime game we were both in. where our slot got misvigged.

Venus and Mars has been prodded.

Feeling like Nancy and Shiro would try harder if they were scum

Nancy I know has IRL circumstances interfering, but I think shiro tends to be a bit quiet as scum

No, not true at all. Check our those games I mentioned if you think that’s AI. Shiro tends to lurk when he’s in a hydra, period. He also did that in RC uPick if you recall when he hydra’d with Frozen Angel and yes, he was also town in that.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Fair enough. You do feel town to me from these recent posts so

I'll be busy most of tomorrow, but I'll check in every once in a while and move my vote around if necessary

What about Alchemist? The nuance that he’s demonstrating and has through out his entire ISO is strongly town indicative for him.

Venus/Mars, can you prove or show you were part of the neighborhood with Gamma and Taylor?

I find it kinda hard to see a three-man neighborhood in an 8p and I'm afraid you knew who was in the hood with Taylor, killed Gamma and could easily claim hood with Taylor and the deceased Gamma.

Sure, np.

That’s the main reason I claimed. I was afraid I would be next and no one would suspect Tayl0r. Had Gamma not died, I had no intention of claiming the hood.

Btw, Creature, read end of D2 and tell me you don’t think that Tayl0r/Bulge interactions especially wrt me don’t sceam scum theatre to you?

Mod Notes:

Oh cool, I have 7 days to convince Creature of the obvious.

[Nancy Drew 39]

It’s probably never a wise decision to falsely accuse someone of lying about being in a hood.

nah there was only so much I had to work with lol. I thought that could have been my winning argument.

if you're saying scum can't fake paraphrase hood content, then challenge accepted

Sure but unless you’re FL it’s incredibly difficult to pull off convincingly if you paraphrase, which is why I wouldn’t lie about something like that regardless of alignment.

And ftr, super obvtown me is a horrible push. I have never been miselimed on this site unless I wasn’t obvtown and that was only like twice in 3 years. Scum usually does much better when they pocket me. In No Deadlines I got pocketed by the entire scumteam.

It’s just pretty much impossible to miselim me when I’m obvtown. Sorry but that’s an indisputable fact.

And Alchemist is super obvtown and Creature was pretty damn close.

I tr Infinity because he mindmelded with me on both Alch and Creature. So both you and Tayl0r disagreeing definitely pinged me.

It’s probably never a wise decision to falsely accuse someone of lying about being in a hood.

I was almost set on voting The Bulge today anyway, but it didn't hurt to be sure you weren't faking neighborhood as it should've been easy to prove.

That’s why I don’t lie about such things because I make up some shit and everyone can easily tell it’s fake. But before Gamma got NK’d I thought it might be all town. In No Deadlines we had an all town hood of 4 and we cannibalized each other from paranoia.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Gamma dying caused a direct line between Taylor and Nancy within the neighborhood, which is fine, but you have to be able to obv town on par with Nancy, or keep her down.

Ascetic claim was bold, but I understand the choice of it as well.

Yeah I think killing inside the hood was a bad idea. I probably wouldn’t have outed the hood otherwise but it made me paranoid about Tayl0r. And in a micro, don’t claim aesthetic.

Had Tayl0r not done that, I would have pushed for Bulge elim and Tayl0r might have gotten further but having two slots in the game that I have extensive meta on was definitely bad for scum because both Creature and Alchemist were super obvtown to me.

[Nancy Drew 39]

The No Kill was good, but I think trying to turn it on Creature (not easy) or Alchemist (also not easy) would have been a play to work out better more than going for Venus. 2 scum in 1 neighborhood is a hard thing to push, but I did like the idea of the neighborhood being fake. That was a fun play, just not easy to pull off. Maybe with a less experienced playerlist, but that was a hard final 4 to deal with. Alchemist's claim could have been decredited down earlier as well, since they didn't see anything. He didn't claim the 1-shot part of his role, so there was some heat there if something could come out. That's the route I would have played.

Him not claiming cleared Creature because scum!Creature 100% kills tracker Alchemist. So, it was pretty much impossible that even if I didn’t think Bulge was so obviously scummy, he would have had an extremely uphil climb.

If you read Coalition, Alch played pretty much identically to here. He fooled me in Starcraft 2 because he never got any pressure put on him. Alchemist reveals his alignment under pressure.

[Nancy Drew 39]

yeah the playerlist was a bit unfortunate and we made a couple errors that made it tough. still think we did okish. im surprised how much this game revolved around night-play though. i thought boon preferred dayplay.

Our role actually made sense with punpun’s which is something I forgot to point out, because it means at least 2 vts in the game.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Alchemist's claim could have been decredited down earlier as well, since they didn't see anything. He didn't claim the 1-shot part of his role, so there was some heat there if something could come out.

That's the risk I knew I was taking with my play, and tbh I was kinda surprised nobody yelled at me when I came clean about being 1-shot. Had I been pushed on it my defense would have been that I claimed a clear at mylo instead of claiming a guilty and going for the win.

Well, I wasn’t ever voting you and there’s nothing scummy about doing that. Town fakeclaims stuff like that all the time. Claiming a 1 - shot would have opened the door for scum to push Creature. His thinking you weren’t a 1 -shot was what cleared him.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Oh and not claiming to be 1-shot started out as just wanting to draw the NK. Things changed after Infinity claimed and I figured scum would never kill me over him.

Yeah, scum!Bulge had no choice because any NK, would have confiscumed him. I was extremely worried he would rb Infinity. Who knows what would have happened then?
