Open 779: Pick Your Power X/Y Game Over!

[DoctorPepper]

like 1/2 are perceived as being risky by scum. i don't think they double-down and pick *two* numbers in that group

*Sorry if I randomly reply to a lot of posts, playing on mobile gives me errors*

Clarification, can scum talk during the draft? This assumes that everyone here has played this set up and would know that nuance as well, right?

Otherwise, I'm thinking choice of number wouldn't be alignment indicative, right?

[DoctorPepper]

Man, you guys are so focused on picking numbers, I just closed my eyes and hit a button on my number pad. Confirmed second most effective method to pick a number.

Actually like this. Brass can be town for now. Not strategizing your pick is something I doubt scum would do. Scum wanna take away the PRs right!

[DoctorPepper]

Again, I didn't mean to quote that. I also don't want to overrun the thread with comments at this point, I'm trying to make this alt my relaxed account which hasn't gone tremendously well so far.

Can someone else tell me what they think of Dunn and of my points in 66? I don't think I'm being unreasonable and I don't think he's approaching me in a particularly good faith manner but I might be biased because I'm annoyed he's removed a lot of utility from my claiming.

I don't think Dunn is lock!scum but if you think my case makes sense then I think you should vote for him!

I think you're TvT, I can see the town motivation in doubting your claim, but I can also see you're doing something I doubt scum would do.

Still wanna see where my vote should go

[DoctorPepper]

i think this is a tvt spat
if i'm wrong it's on dunn but i'm not vibing it rn

I have the same reads as skitter currently, which is one more reason why i don't understand why she voted us in the first place.

Skitter, i think you know where i come from and what i'm trying to do here. We can play this game together, i'm fine with it.

UNVOTE: .

Partial readlist goes like this:

TOWNREADS

DonCorleone
Dunnstral

MECH TOWNLEANS

JacksonVirgo
Brassherald
Doctor Drew

MINOR TOWNLEANS

Skitter

NULL

Everyone else

Kerset is not a fan of Dunnstral though - noted for posterity, i don't believe dunnstral is using a scum agenda here. If i had to be early wary of someone, it would be the people who picked #2, but that's too wifomy to swallow

-Farkran

This seems like someone trying to either:
a) Look productive
b) sneak in a scum buddy as town via "mech" reasons.

Leaning here so far.
Again, apologies for the multiple posts but I can't make long walls on mobile for some reason

[DoctorPepper]

i'm gonna assume hectic is one of the hydra heads in melody and i know he can read drew so

VOTE: drew

You know I got the same vibe here

But I disagree with the vote.

Gut tells me you and Aldus are town so far.

[DoctorPepper]

plot twist: doctor drew is a hydra of doctorpepper and drew-sta and also doctor drew

[DoctorPepper]

Ego post.

Give me a few hours to catch up

I can't allow another Doctor here.

State your case or I end you.

Fite me

VOTE: Doctor Drew

Nah JK, I think you're town

Real

VOTE: Farkset

-Farkran

How am I not null when I haven't even posted at this time yet?

I don't know why but I'm a fan of this post.

[DoctorPepper]

So far I'm thinking scum can be in [Farkset, Melody]

Wanna add Skitter in just as gut. I feel like her contributions to the game are mostly set up driven and not scum hunting driven.

[Farkset]

Are you fully caught up drpepper?

-Farkran

pedit: oh pretty clearly not lol, ok i'll wait

[brassherald]

If I recall correctly, this set up always has lots of set up talk early by mostly town.

[brassherald]

Man, you guys are so focused on picking numbers, I just closed my eyes and hit a button on my number pad. Confirmed second most effective method to pick a number.

Everyone is all like "Think for optimization" and I'm just like "Thinking sucks!"

I just picked a random number O.O
Was I not supposed to? Oof

Proven that thinking is bad and stupid

[brassherald]

Other than read lists which I despise, by the way, I like Farkset's thinking.

VOTE: Dr Drew

They make a good case here.

[Datisi]

How am I not null when I haven't even posted at this time yet?

if i hadn't recently seen scum act Completely Clueless in a game i'd give this a townlean, but i won't

~

We actually meant to submit 1 btw, but I hit the key twice and didn't notice in time for the EBWOP.

am i overthinking this or is this supposed to be a meme scumclaim? because town sends numbers in by PM, not PT?

i'm gonna assume hectic is one of the hydra heads in melody and i know he can read drew so

VOTE: drew

You know I got the same vibe here

But I disagree with the vote.

Gut tells me you and Aldus are town so far.

you liked the vibe of what exactly? also why is drdrew town? why is melody in your possible scumpool?

thinking back, us disagreeing on Literally Everything might mean we're TvT again lol

~

i see brass is thinking kinda similarly to me and i'm willing to give vague +townpoints there even tho i know it's probably not worth them because this game seems very slow for some reason

[DoctorPepper]

Sup dats, good to see that patter holds lol.

I liked Drew's 163 and I subscribe to Farkset's readjust post being scummy

Melody is more based on the vote to Drew

[Datisi]

which readjust post do you mean? also what do you make on my drew's vote then?

[alimdia]

hardclaim cop

Yeah, I’m as surprised to have got it as you all are, what can I say, luck of the Irish

assumed memeing

Hey everyone!

@mod regular vla fridays and saturdays

That draft lol

I think that it's unlikely that there's more than one scum in any given set of multiples

I also think its low-key unlikely for there to be more than 1 scum in the 1's and 2's combined

catscratchfever

I like that theory, since I asked the mod if scum have daytalk, and he said yes. Thus, I also believe scum wouldn't fix the same number. Someone said on page 3 that in previous games, scum used that to ride to the end.
However, this is slightly different because.....
you mentioned that theory, yet you didn't vote for the other people that picked 2. Logically you would say you are town, and hence its likely one of the other 2 are scum.
so...

skitter

[alimdia]

I also don't understand why people are saying Farkset is just busyworking..

VOTE: skitter

vote failed in prev post

[DoctorPepper]

which readjust post do you mean? also what do you make on my drew's vote then?

Read list sorry autocorrect.

Your Drew vote is not something I agree with but I like your early game interactions

[Farkset]

So far I'm thinking scum can be in [Farkset, Melody]

Wanna add Skitter in just as gut. I feel like her contributions to the game are mostly set up driven and not scum hunting driven.

Why is melody scum?

-Farkran

[Farkset]

Melody is more based on the vote to Drew

Sorry i missed this line

But i'd still like you to elaborate on your melody read. I think you are adjusting your reads to agreement bias, drpepper.

If you read 1 scum in farkset/melody, does it mean you see us as disaligned? Why is one scummier than the other? Why do you think the drew wagon is scumbased?

-Farkran

[Datisi]

alim, i think skitt was saying there's "not more than one scum in that pool", not that there's "one scum in that pool".

[Farkset]

So far I'm thinking scum can be in [Farkset, Melody]

Referring to this, i want this elaborated

[Farkset]

Second day and we got two wagons of 4 members. It feels so unnatural to me.
Brass why are you such lazy person?
