Open 851: Would You Like To Be My Neighbor? | Game Over!

[Stranger]

Okay I really should focus on other stuff until I can reread but I’ll come back.

[The Bulge]

(with a smidge of StD),

whats this about

like "bulge is suspicious of and irritated by this one specific player...and is not acting suspicious or irritated towards this other player...and i think that is because ____________"

fill in the blanks pls

stranger are you townreading vex? if so why? do you think their push vs me comes from a townie mindset?

Going to squish these together. The StD thing was just where you I think (?) jested about StD role fishing but I put it as a smidge just in case.

And for me, feelings like irritation especially are very... all encompassing I guess? To me I don’t treat my townreads and scumreads differently if I am annoyed or frustrated and I don’t really zero in on just one so to see you do that to one person is unsettling, because I think you were really just... going all in on them from memory, and narrow focusing in a way I felt just didn’t make... a lot of sense to me.

I’ll reread when I’m home in a bit and see if I come to the same conclusions but Bulge, who do you think is with Vex?

yes lol the role fishing thing was a joke

what im getting from this is that we are different people who experience emotions differently, mhm?

mala and bella are both playing from the sidelines. if im wrong about vex it could just be both of them, happy to sit back and watch this TvT. but im thinking probably one of them, unable to join vex's crusade for fear of incriminating themselves via blatant association, and without anything else really going on in the game to focus on instead.

Also sorry if I’m reading your emotions wrong but it does come across as pretty miffed at times...

oh i am plenty miffed, just not toward std. and overall today its been more of a chuckle-and-an-eyeroll miffed compared to some other games where my blood has been rightly boiled.

@bulge
i kinda believe bringing you to e-1 was accidental, i don't know if scum would be that lacksidaisical about the count. maybe, but his response seems genuine, so i don't see it the way you are saying.

i think vex has been trying to push forth through this slow game. i'm wary of all slots but i think i tr vex at the moment.

if you flip town i will need to reassess.

[Bellaphant]

I am from the sidelines, I'm really struggling to get reads that aren't just:stranger is town, I find both bulge and vex and STD 'unhelpful', I'd love dv to be town and I think Titus might be.

But that leaves me with a way too big Elim pool.

P-edit that was actually a helpful STD post.

[Save The Dragons]

I don't really like that you find vex and bulge unhelpful

[The Bulge]

yes lol the role fishing thing was a joke

if we're talking ROLEFISHING tho........
how about bottom of page 9 where vex asked me to CLAIM MY HOOD PARTNER

pedit - yea that stance is a bit of a headscratcher

[Titus]

I don't really like that you find vex and bulge unhelpful

That makes sense if Bella is townreading both slots.

I'm too lazy/distracted to check while I'm temporarily pulled over.

Bulge is voting Vex I think

[DeasVail]

Bulge's fixation on Vex reads stubborn-town to me. Bulge got read as scum, at least partly for the intense focus on Vex and there was no real attempt to change things up to try and be read as town instead. The appeals to get people on their side read as genuine.

Titus, on the other hand, is an external perspective. The read of "the people going after bulge are scum creating noise" does not feel like a real reason, but rather an excuse to read Bulge as town and Vex as scum for the sake of positioning. Titus as scum, coming in an hammering bulge-town does not really help much long-term, and titus-scum would know that they would probably be one of the first slots looked at, so in some ways Titus-scum positionally needs to be on the alternative wagon, even if it doesn't actually make any sense.

I like Stranger's posts intellectually, and feel like there's good logic and reasoning there, but it

probably

could all still come from scum.

Bulge's post about people on the sidelines (Bella in particular) was an exact thought I had as well, but I don't necessarily mind Bella's response to that. I do think it's hard for people to

not

be on the sidelines this game.

If I were to share my reads I think I'd be at something like:

Town

STD
Vex

MegAzumarill
Bulge
Bella

Stranger
Malakittens

Titus

Scum

...or something like that. It feels like it's constantly changing in my head

[Vex Vience]

i can believe it. i still think bulge is scum, but titus’s entry was scummier

VOTE: titus

[MegAzumarill]

I will hammer any players at e-1 until the end of today.
Myself included. I'd still prefer a vex elim

[Save The Dragons]

VOTE: titus

[Vex Vience]

before i forget as well -

@mod - v/la from tomorrow till sunday

i’ll be moving soon

[Save The Dragons]

titus is in my hood.

yeet has a couple posts and titus has a couple posts, mostly just joking around but nothing of interest

[Stranger]

I'm around to vote. Reread isn't happening, IRL is, but will be around prior to hammer.

p-edit: Okay, cool. I'm okay with hammering Titus, will give her some time to show up if she has anything else to say but this flashwagon is surprisingly Good.

[Save The Dragons]

i posted a lot of joke posts in the hood and titus responded in a jokey way but i don't know i feel like town!titus would at least say something game related, it almost feels a little pockety.

i wouldn't mind hearing more from her though if she is around

[DeasVail]

Thanks for letting us know.

This helps quite a bit for me. I feel like Yeet would have been more noteworthy in the hood as town after their enthusiastic entrance in the large normal. Maybe they were just busy idk, but I’m feeling pretty okay with this
