that was a Bit slippy

but i do think grecray, word, drdolittle, grumpy and smarty are town.
hoopla users and maybe clover shoulddd be town
ico and you are maybe town with the caveat that i think there's probably upwards of one scum in u because the world is an ugly place

i literally can't remember what my read on umlaut is

i'm sorry what was slippy?

i like... hng. that doesn't strike me as Massively Wrong but day one no flips etc etc
i'm not exactly scumreading ico so i dunno what to think about the "maybe one scum in dats/ico" line

can you give me your tldr for s_s town? i will look at it and compare to gypyx's stuff at some time that won't be 4am

unless the team is like... exactly a50/gypyx/umlaut there is Something Wrong In The Village but i ain't ever solve a 3-scum game on day one and i sure as fuck don't plan to start now

SS is appearing in lots of conversations which i can believe SS appearing in and having lots of opinions i can see town!SS having and i.. think scum!SS is probably just lazier in this phase (with the caviet that if his entire team is being snowed maybe he does after all who knows~~)~ ~

basically same i have 0 motivation to 100% solve on d1, i'm the deepwolf so obviously i'll be around until xylo (d4 or w/e) to reevaluate and fix any erroneous townreads

There's the small detail that it doesn't look crafty in the slightest.
don't think this tangent is scum!ss talking about scum!gypyx
don't think scum!ss bothers defending town!gypyx with this
it reads like a Real Thought

it's kind of a read, from me, which is very much something that's on the inside of my brain right now and it's quite inaccessible, and he's popped in with a response which is quite cognisant of the fact it's not an accessible read, but which also doesn't pretend to be like, a read in itself

he's not concerned with trying to look towny and i don't feel like he's concerned with trying to manipulate associatives and i buy the thoughts he's having about this game being real

I think scum!Gypyx would actually feel bad for his partners and wouldn't pull a suicidal gambit like this. He wasn't in a terribly dire situation when he pulled the reaction, so soemthing high risk like that is unnecessary even if he thought it'd get him townread. I know I'm basically saying it's too scummy to be scum, buuuuuuut I can see the town/fun-motivation for town!Gypyx doing that.

Actually, having just said that, I remember the VT slip gambit Gypyx pulled when I rolled scum with him...but I think that was a little less risky and has a clear way it rewards towncred, as opposed to whatever this is.
i promised myself last time i let a too scummy to be scum thing get away, i'd never do that again. Because it was scum.

and then you bring up meta reference to scum!gypyx trying to pull a gambit… also not helping

quickly?

you think this wagon was going thru quickly?

it's been a fucking mountain to climb just to get 4 votes, and with a SCUMCLAIM it's going even slower lol

quick wagon smh

Gypyx got three votes, putting him at L-2, in two pages following the "slip". That's quick.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

-faking a response to datisi
-faking a reaction after a few votes
-faking another reaction after a few votes
-scumclaiming (the literal kind, not the memey kind)

and i'll just let the actual reasons why gypyx is scum rest a bit even

town with minimal experience with gambits exploding who thought it was a good idea ig

i agree it's a scummy reaction. i don't really think he's town. but i feel more confident about a scumflip from a50.
