I wonder what constitutes a strong town player.

Name starts with s ends in kitter30.

Do you believe no one else at this table to be impactful as town?

It was kind of a joke.

“Kind of.”

But it kind of wasn’t?

As in that skitter is a good player.

I think the sentiment that pinged me enough to ask about kind of was that it feels like a nervous way of stating it was tongue in cheek.

That's fair.

[Ich Troje]

my edibles are kicking in and this game is becoming a blur so glhf everyone im gonna peace out for the evening

[Ich Troje]

thats for my future trust fall partner btw

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

currently my plan is to make Ich/Dats trust each other so if they r S/S the game is over and if they are T/T then I get to look for other baddies

Ich Dats what do you think of my plan?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I've played this setup from the scum side so I know what scumbags r scared of and thats townies making them trust each other

[skitter30]

Idk if i can explain you/penguin yet, its more pings than anytjing else

Literally dont know if i can elaborate on penguin beyond 'good vibes'
For you, vulture, 45 and 46 pinged the wrong way
I like ich's posts at the bottom of p2 (esp 48 and 49), i like the tone/assertiveness/confidence

If they're t/s.

[T3]

skitter is obvious town.
I will not trust fall skitter despite that.

[skitter30]

Also dont really like t3
I dont really think ich is scum at this point, wouldng really want him in a trust pairing

Maybe t3 instead

That was my plan initially but I realized quickly how stupid that was and just PoEing people into never-pairings is much more effective.

[skitter30]

skitter is obvious town.

Why

[Ich Troje]

I understand that's something scum are scared of but then like how often do you actually solve 2/2 and then oops you give scum a free trustfall

Why

I'm looking for a specific tell that (as far as I've seen) is rarely used but works.

Okay.

My question was twofold albeit somewhat silly, if not a question but a request more curt in “if you can” meant to goad in a very small way. I think there is merit to an idea that scum are setting themselves up to fight certain people earlier if they feel they can punch back and I was curious if you would do so.

That being said your pings don’t actually help me discern where your head’s at from the explanation but thank you all the same.

No i want to know why you think i'm obvtown

[Datisi]

Datisi uses lowercase letters when he's scum.

this is correct.

And then pooky pointed out that scum wanted to leave, so i thought it made it scummier because (if self-trusts are legal) than dats doing so would be making it that much likelier to happen, esp if anybody is in a meme-y mood.

could you explain what you thought by "self-trusts being legal"? like, it requires two people for a fall, how did you think this would work?

skitter town

agree

why? not to be a killjoy, but it feels kinda early to townread skitter >_>

currently my plan is to make Ich/Dats trust each other so if they r S/S the game is over and if they are T/T then I get to look for other baddies

Ich Dats what do you think of my plan?

pooky/ich scumteam confirmed gaem solved

ok so
- penguin is kinda good vibes
- ich is giving me gut townpings for a reason i might elaborate on later
- at first i thought skitter is scummy because her "scumpings" on me felt very much forced, or like she's making sure i don't start getting townread. but rn she's kinda back to null i guess because she gave up on it and it felt natural enough so
- i tarted glazing over all vulture posts but i can't tell if that is playstyle or scumminess, will look at their other game at some point

[skitter30]

Okay.

Yeah i thought ur tone was a little weird when u asked that

How do you think i would have 'punched back' to that sort of question ?

And sorry i'm not so good at explaining pings always ... if i can elaborate more i will!
But the penguin is p strong actually, i do feel p good abt him

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I understand that's something scum are scared of but then like how often do you actually solve 2/2 and then oops you give scum a free trustfall

Are you saying you're town and Dats is scum?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i've never misread skitter in my life

[T3]

Hey all!

regular vla on fridays and Saturdays

Dats i naively sort of want to think that's a townie thing to do (after all would scum take the risk etc etc etc) except i sorta think that yes, you would take that risk as scum >.>

And would maybe do that purposefully as scum >.>

There was almost "extra wording" that made this post towny to me. Like scum usually doesn't feel the ned to clariy naively or purposefully.

I am saying I am currently not townreading datisi and would rather not just shove through a trustfall bc of pooky's page 1 vibes

feeling good about my hero solve ngl

[T3]

Ich, why specifically is skitter town? This will help me determine who you should pair with.

[Vulture]

I viewed it as a condescending/forceful way to request an explanation; I would have scumread a reaction where you pressed on me for being aggressive towards you if it was in the context of, “Vulture is being aggressive towards me because I outed gutpings on them.”

And that’s okay. I have those feelings at times but these ones specifically just don’t mesh with me. Maybe because I’ve tried to be a bit more confident/headstrong and it wasn’t it for me but was it for Ich. So the metric just isn’t working.

[Ich Troje]

good thing no one is going to sheep you on it then
