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

[Farkset]

Unless datisi is known for caring about games more as scum than as town, it's a townlean for me.

Wait what? You've somehow reached the same conclusion as me via the exact opposite logic?

Well, my only experience with Datisi shows him caring waaaaay less than he's doing in this game, and he was town

-Farkran

[Alduskkel]

Hey Melody, who do you scumread?

[Datisi]

Also if Datisi paranoia scumreads me for "caring too much" about this game then I can townread Datisi for not "caring enough" because I know we both wanted to roll scum

are you actually townreading me for that

keep in mind that that game is not exactly representative becuase (1) i hate large games (2) i (in vast majority of cases) dislike hydraing and (3) i was told that game wouldn't be actual mafia but would instead be shitposting and minigames, and was displeasantly surprised when i realized that was a fucking lie, which killed my motivation even further.

[Alduskkel]

are you actually townreading me for that

just a little bit

I mean it's more than what I have to go off of for some other players

[Datisi]

i don't wanna scumread aldus

his avatar is so happy

also i've incorrectly scumread him in both games we played together and that is sad

[Alduskkel]

is this your way of apologizing for scumreading me here

[Datisi]

not really no

you're not even that strong of a scumread, the issue is there's so many slots by whom i don't remember a single thing they've posted which is annoying me much more than anything

[Melody]

I like Don, Fark, Dunn, and Datisi the most i think. Jackson and skitts are an additional, but smaller degree of town

Don's 206 is good, i like the wariness on Datisi although i disagree. To answer the question he had, I meant that i reacted in a similar way as Datisi to skitts (Oh skitts seems towny, but skitts always seems towny so im not happy about it). I like the not scumreading drew, the readslist, and the comment about not lynching a content heavy slot

I like Fark's response to me about Cat's take. Saying that they always get scumread by town for early readslists wasn't what i'd expect as a scum answer, i'd expect them to just say it's NAI without the "always by town" part. like the responses to dr drew

Datisi mmm this one's kinda unsure. I was thinking of Datisi as a townlean cause of his townreads being pretty good, I like that he included skitter in them rather than just writing off skitter as null. he realizes skitts is a good scum player, but townreads her anyway. Fark's content-indicative theory on Datisi im willing to sheep for now as well. (Also Pedit I see datisi arguing against the motivation-indictative tell which also makes me feel better about Datisi being town)

As for the smaller ones: Jackson, i lean on their entrance being genuine, which would make them town since scum should understand how the setup works after going thru the draft phase. Plus they admitted having played the setup before and still getting it wrong. it seems less likely to be a lie to me. Skitts should be null but im townleaning anyway. I guess because i have the same townleans as her

I was gonna include alimdia as a townlean for the "Why are people assuming Farkset is busyworking?" comment, but the vote on skitter seems a bit weird, kinda just seems like a distraction, the reasoning wasn't that good. Alimdia himself doesn't even sound convinced after datisi points out why it doesn't make sense: "Idk, her not voting one of the other people in the pool (even in RVS) is a bit weird." Why do that over joining one of the wagons

Also, we're sheeping RC if he has any strong scumreads today.

why is this one unsure if everything you listed about me was positive?

[Alduskkel]

Melody, I asked for scumreads and you only gave townreads...?

Also RC isn't in this game. (I'm prepared for a woooooosh if I'm missing an inside joke.)

It kinda started out as unsure with just the skitter read reasoning but then i just kept finding more reasons to townread u as i went through =ω=

We'll get to this in a bit.

Small scum impressions:
Cats and Alim for reasons stated in 136 and 232.

Drew's is more of a tone read. Want to let that one fester and mould before we get an accurate sample from it. Not sure what to make of him doubling down and defending his take on Fark. It could've been easy to back off given he said he was skimming, so that might actually be a little towny.

Dunn seems to be overthinking the cop claim a bit(ftr, I don't love the timing of the claim but I want to let it breath a bit), but I do think Don is twisting Dunn's words and assuming his intentions a bit. I lean town on Dunn. And since I mentioned them, null to slight scum on Don, but as I said I want the claim to breath a bit before I am moved one way or another.

Also, while, reISOing, I found this which might be towny as well. Surely one scum member in the PT would've pointed out it's obviously a joke, so this might be some towny ignorance.

Might need to find another vote.

~Dawn

[Dunnstral]

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

It's not more likely for somebody who picked 2 to be scum, though, even from skitter's pov

Their theory is that multiple scum wnot' pick the same number; that does not mean that within 3 people picking the same number, there is more likely to be 1 scum

[Melody]

VOTE: Dunnstral
I feel like a lot of people are doing unnecessary claims or setup spec and it's just giving scum more clues about town PRs and of those people dunnstral is the worst

Is that anti-town or actually scummy though? Do you think Dunny taking the cop claim seriously and going hard down the 1-shot vig clam line is scum-motivated? Like, he thinks scum can get an advantage if he gets 1-shot vig to claim.

~Dawn

Oh. Gotcha.

That... might change things, if i got it right. I think i only played once with RCE, but i toneread him town when he's scum.

Also uhm, what's your thoughts about andusk? You are answering him but you left him out.

Not a fan of his reasoning for the Dunny-vote, pending further evaluation. Not much else from him yet.

RCEnigma is great. His profile picture in this game is so much better than the one he has on his main rn.

~Dawn

[Dunnstral]

I don't like how Aldusk doubled down on their scumread by saying I hadn't responded to enough things

[Melody]

VOTE: Alduskkel

Let's try it.

@Jackson virgo could you link some of your scum games please?

Can do, all my scum games on this site were in Newbie games. Majority of them were in the time where I thought i could play but couldn't so they ended in replacing out, I'll include one of those ones though too.

1993, Scum Win

1976, Scum Win (but replaced out early)

[Doctor Drew]

Just a quick check in, should have stated I had to work all day today and gotta be back early tomorrow so I am LA until the afternoon/evening EST tomorrow.

I will say though that I kind of agree with Melody and (begrudgingly) Fark about Alduskkel. Set up spec is basically null to me, this is to remind me to ISO Ald.

Also Melody, what did I miss about Dunn/Don that was a joke?
