Open 867: PYP: SEFD - Game Over !

[Gamma Emerald]

Hi! Trying to be more chill than I have been recently
VOTE: Enchant
Disapprove of the singling-me-out thing you’re doing

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: Gamma >:(

Also wtaf is this about???

[Gamma Emerald]

Enchant has some vague nondescript beef with me, I would rather he actually speak his mind rather than just target me nonsensically

[Gamma Emerald]

I vaguely like enchant's post

why is singling you out bad

VOTE: Gamma >:(

Also wtaf is this about???

I am sheeping enchant

Angriface says you have your own reasons to go after me
VOTE: Dannflor
RVS is ended early folks, I think we got one

[Gamma Emerald]

lmao gottem

[Gamma Emerald]

But for real, either stop with the targeting or explain yourself

[Gamma Emerald]

Enchant has some vague nondescript beef with me, I would rather he actually speak his mind rather than just target me nonsensically

Is this an actual thing like out of game

I thought we were memeing

I have to believe it is for Enchant
He repeatedly does this to me

[Gamma Emerald]

Then why would it be relevant to his alignment in this game

Where did I say it was?

And no, don’t feel like it. Make it happen yourself, put your charisma to the test!

[Gamma Emerald]

Lmao can’t even use dice tags

[Gamma Emerald]

Then why would it be relevant to his alignment in this game

Where did I say it was?

Legit question ftr

[Gamma Emerald]

And why do you not think it’s within JC/NM, or the FIVE people that picked 1?

[Gamma Emerald]

And it better be a good reason because I can already think of one, and it’s not a great look for you Sir Bear

[Gamma Emerald]

Then why would it be relevant to his alignment in this game

And no, don’t feel like it. Make it happen yourself, put your charisma to the test!

I mean, you didn’t, but you are acting like it is

Idk your vote and phrasing of not liking Enchant singling you out felt like you were pushing him for it?

this seems like a conversation to be saved for post game if it’s not relevant to his alignment

Was just trying to indicate I was tired of his bullshit on a personal level
Cope harder.

[Gamma Emerald]

btw I this is my first time playing PYP in this site, so I'm a bit confused, how many people can have powers in this game?

pedit @dannflor that's the OPPOSITE of GENTLE

As many as 8, not including mafia goons

[Gamma Emerald]

Disgusting.

VOTE: Junkochan

el em ay oh

[Gamma Emerald]

Only doctor or roleblocker can possibly exist, can’t have both

[Gamma Emerald]

I picked 1 because I thought everyone else would second guess their way out of it.

I played in a pyp a looooong time ago and the town used some big brain method to determine scum based on numbers. It was slightly different as we drafted two numbers. One of you big brains can probably figure it out although it may have required some pregaming. All I know is I felt like town had esp and got me dead just based on the number I picked.

viewtopic.php?f=49&t=13907&start=50

Enchant always picks 1

I think this is something Gamma would react to as either alignment

what feels tvt about it

I don't think Gamma comes out swinging at the start of the game if he's scum. I think it's more likely that it's something he'd work his way up to.

what is this based on

[Gamma Emerald]

And why do you not think it’s within JC/NM, or the FIVE people that picked 1?

And it better be a good reason because I can already think of one, and it’s not a great look for you Sir Bear

IDRC ABOUT THE 1 CHOICES, I RULED THAT NUMBER OUT RIGHT AWAY.

THE SHADE IN #38 IS MORE INDICATIVE OF SCUM.

VOTE: Gamma

So, despite the statistical evidence supporting there being multiple scum in the 1s, you have somehow "ruled them out" already. Yeah that's bogus.
VOTE: SCRRRDBEAR

[Gamma Emerald]

Clearly critical thinking is something Sir Bear is lacking in rn

[Gamma Emerald]

Can you elaborate?

There was actually morsels to engage with but Sir Bear has opted to go on a shade campaign by calling my vote OMGUS when his own vote kinda comes off as that

[Gamma Emerald]

Before things go to far, just wanna mention to not let Penguin or especially nsg slide without justifying their votes on me

[Gamma Emerald]

gamma knows why (or should know why) i voted there and that's all that matters

nope

[Gamma Emerald]

Before things go to far, just wanna mention to not let Penguin or especially nsg slide without justifying their votes on me

why especially me?

and why direct other people to do this and not just do it yourself?

because you spoke about other people but didn't actually provide reasoning for your vote, penguins was basically just a naked vote
and I figure if others push for it, there's a greater chance of it happening

[Gamma Emerald]

why the fuck do I even bother playing this game?

[Gamma Emerald]

like I feel you're overly worried about the seriousness of a page 5 wagon on you

question for you:
what is the impression of me that you've gotten over the time you've interacted with me?

[Gamma Emerald]

also, thinking about it, Dannflor and nsg are sus for their handling of me so far
they should know how I'm liable to take early pressure, especially when it's seemingly unfounded

[Gamma Emerald]

like I feel you're overly worried about the seriousness of a page 5 wagon on you

question for you:
what is the impression of me that you've gotten over the time you've interacted with me?

whilst emotional - not to that extent this early.

you'd be wrong about that

[Gamma Emerald]

you'd be wrong about that

not sure how i can be wrong on my impression? that's a subjective ask.

Your impression is that I wouldn’t be sensitive this early
I’m saying you’re wrong on that specifically

[Gamma Emerald]

i have a super secret scumread

who can guess who the super secret scumread is

King Ancar?

Oh, my bad, he is everyone's super secret scumread. Even those who follow him secretly scumread him.

What's your take on gamma?

Can you try asking about someone else?

[Gamma Emerald]

i have a super secret scumread

who can guess who the super secret scumread is

King Ancar?

Oh, my bad, he is everyone's super secret scumread. Even those who follow him secretly scumread him.

What's your take on gamma?

Can you try asking about someone else?

you see someone else at 5 votes?

It’s kinda hard to engage effectively if the content is railroaded into being about me

[Gamma Emerald]

There’s a serious non rvs wagon on gamma.

Do you support it or not?
If you do, why not join it?
If you don’t, what’s the motive behind posting this?

[Gamma Emerald]

What do you think posting that in response to Enchant specifically might accomplish?

[Gamma Emerald]

To encourage enchant to talk about the gamestate.

good luck with that

It’s kinda hard to engage effectively if the content is railroaded into being about me

so you are not effective under pressure? I mean, if you were confident that your contribution thus far is on the best interest of town you shouldn't be worried.

also, it's pretty early in the game if it feels like you will be early hammered I'll take my vote out.

so now, one more time, if it's not you, then who and why?

I’m saying it seems like part of people’s issue with me is that I’m not engaging with discussion that doesn’t involve me
So if you keep the topic of conversation in one place, that makes it harder for me to fix that problem without strongarming the discussion

As for who I think it is, as of this exact moment I’d call it as Sir Bear and two of the 1 picks, leaning enchant and nsg if I had to pick names out rn

[Gamma Emerald]

Also where does “one more time” factor in, I think this was our first direct engagement this game?

[Gamma Emerald]

Because so far you are just telling him to make a case on someone.

Him=them

You were good the first time
I’m cool with male or female pronouns

[Gamma Emerald]

I wanna lean enchant town here?

[Gamma Emerald]

you'd be wrong about that

not sure how i can be wrong on my impression? that's a subjective ask.

Your impression is that I wouldn’t be sensitive this early
I’m saying you’re wrong on that specifically

I can only act from my experience and impression.

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=84949
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=86908

Two prior instances of me getting tilted on a personal level at early pressure
The second link is extra important because it’s why I think Dann and nsg are sus to some degree, I feel like they should be more cognizant of such a reaction possibly coming from me

[Gamma Emerald]

Gamma…

You were scum in that game

That’s irrelevant
The point I’m making is that I tilt at early pushes sometimes

[Gamma Emerald]

Enchant always picks 1

this is false, but there is this from a previous game:

Subject: Open 853 - PYP X/Y S_S [scum pt]

Let's pick same number (which is common one, not 420) so people think we are not aligned lol

which for now means basically nothing, but is worth putting in the back pocket, so to speak.

How is it false? Unless I missed Enchant playing in one that wasn’t Datisi-run before this

[Gamma Emerald]

NK15 knee-jerk reacting to my snark @ Bear is not a good look imo

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: not known 15
I wanna explore this avenue of inquiry. On top of his not-great reactions to things, he also just feels rather flat and that's pretty consistent with my impression of scum!NK

[Gamma Emerald]

this looks performative

[Gamma Emerald]

Not sure what the is to point out but I’ll clarify
Junko unvoted, but immediately doubled back to wanting to vote me, but is now asking NK15 for his case

[Gamma Emerald]

And why do you not think it’s within JC/NM, or the FIVE people that picked 1?

And it better be a good reason because I can already think of one, and it’s not a great look for you Sir Bear

IDRC ABOUT THE 1 CHOICES, I RULED THAT NUMBER OUT RIGHT AWAY.

THE SHADE IN #38 IS MORE INDICATIVE OF SCUM.

VOTE: Gamma

So, despite the statistical evidence supporting there being multiple scum in the 1s, you have somehow "ruled them out" already. Yeah that's bogus.
VOTE: SCRRRDBEAR

Clearly critical thinking is something Sir Bear is lacking in rn

Gamma just pushed Bear with a vote for the above. Yet, only a few posts later, Gamma attributes what Bear says with "a lack of critical thinking" instead.

I said that because instead of actually going for something with bite to it, Bear went for the OMGUS accusation
Regardless of alignment, it shows that Bear is a simple player who opts for buzzwords rather than drilling deeper for more salient commentary.

[Gamma Emerald]

Not sure what the is to point out but I’ll clarify
Junko unvoted, but immediately doubled back to wanting to vote me, but is now asking NK15 for his case

are you really this self centered or are you actually afraid?

I have a way of parsing sentences that returns mixed results on poorly written posts
So tl;dr, ya basic
But seriously, unless you’re voting one of me or NK, what’s the relevance of his case on me to your vote?

[Gamma Emerald]

Explain why

i'll ignore this

JunkoChan irl

[Gamma Emerald]

FOS: enchant

I would ask about your JF read but since you explicitly said not to I’m just gonna say I think your “bad” list sucks

[Gamma Emerald]

Yeah gamma is scummy.

Still not seeing it.

actually I take it back I think if gamma flips scum then I want to kill this more than anything

I think Porkens is playing a little too awkwardly for a buddy

and I'm doing bad bad pre-flip associative stuff right now I need to reset

Gamma did townier after the emotional posting wore off

What is your independent Porkens read?

[Gamma Emerald]

Yeah gamma is scummy.

Still not seeing it.

[Gamma Emerald]

Why 14 junko and notmafko?

my birthday is december 14.

aight back to ignoring you

Why would you pick your birthday instead of a number that might get you a power?

I technically picked my birthday first time playing this setup

[Gamma Emerald]

The number had to be between 0 and 14, it's in the rules

Honestly, I wouldn’t call this too out-there

[Gamma Emerald]

Johnny’s reads leave something to be desired imo

[Gamma Emerald]

The number had to be between 0 and 14, it's in the rules

Could you point out for me where it says that?

once alignments have been dealt out, each player must send a (whole, positive) number back to the mod, with the lowest unique number winning the draft.

Google: Positive numbers are greater than 0 and located to the right of 0 on a number line. Negative numbers are less than 0 and located to the left of 0 on a number line. The number zero is neither positive nor negative.

Idk man this is either a stupid scum slip or a stupid Town "play"

Thinking about it i don't think the mod would say 0-14

I mean, that would be lying to one of the players about the rules

NM is a renowned troll
Not sure what to make of this frankly

[Gamma Emerald]

The way porkens jumped on not_math for that so hastily makes me feel my vote stronger, feels like mafia looking for a hanging fruit

VOTE: JunkoChan
That’s two-for-two on taking comedic posts seriously, think there’s a cognitive load issue here

[Gamma Emerald]

Johnny’s reads leave something to be desired imo

what about them do you take issue with?

Partly how the conclusions are presented
Will or will not vote is a murky way to present overall reads

[Gamma Emerald]

I also just think his reads are not in line with mine in much of any way, but idk how much that means for his alignment

[Gamma Emerald]

How is a non-rvs vote not serious? Buddy

I don’t believe Porkens actually believes scum got different instructions, that would be a serious modding offense
It follows that Porkens is doing a little trolling of his own

[Gamma Emerald]

I have a certain rating of Porkens’ experience that makes me think he’d not expect “straight-up mod interference” to be a factor in this game
Sorry I actually expect the people I play with to have standards?

[Gamma Emerald]

I mean - I read his comment as funny but the vote as serious...

Tbf, Porkens is absolutely free to elaborate

[Gamma Emerald]

Can you please explain this in a bit more detail?

the basic idea for those unfamiliar is that playing scum or just in general lying is a lot more cognitive stress / a lot more of a cognitive load than playing town is, and one consequence of this is that someone may be less likely to pick up on humor, and thus will respond to a joke completely seriously or misinterpret what someone's saying. (ironically enough, exactly like you do right there)

it is also a trademarked tell of NSG incorporated and every time you use it in a game you must give me credit or else receive a cease and desist from my lawyers

I apologize

[Gamma Emerald]

(by "cease and desist" and "laywers" i mean "brick through the window" and "lawyers")

[Gamma Emerald]

Cool.

No, it's not. I have seen enough of this antitown meta.

lol

[Gamma Emerald]

What are your thought on me rn, ftr?

[Gamma Emerald]

You're null.

I actually do want to deter this wagon because Roden's actions around you feel shitty and in bad faith, IDK where you got that.

mmm I feel it's weird to want to deter a wagon on me but also have me as null

Null = still more likely town than scum because there's more townies than scum.

No! Bad! null = scum because inevitably people *always* end up null reading scum

like without fail

i don't know why I'm trying to convince you to scum read me

What on God's green Earth is this post? OK you're scummy.
VOTE: Dannflor

lol

[Gamma Emerald]

Piss off

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: Gamma

Seriously, go fuck yourself if you’re going to play like this again after I’ve given you countless opportunities to play better
I’ll probably regret this comment later but rn I am in a “eject all the bottled-up negative feelings” mood and you’re one of the people with which I have unresolved negativity

[Gamma Emerald]

Yeah there’s definitely extra context I need to add but I am not in a state to do it rn

[Gamma Emerald]

It’s not really a reaction to your vote, but I think out of all the people to vote just to stay in the game, I’m one of the lousiest you could have chosen
Either you made a bad vote without knowing, which is a sign that you’re not paying proper attention, or you knew the stakes that were in play, which is actively suspicious

[Gamma Emerald]

Are you going to actually engage this Yume
I’m gonna be clear: if you get me voted out because you parked a vote on me for no reason than to “stay in the game” there’s gonna be some major beef

[Gamma Emerald]

how does that affect this game???

[Gamma Emerald]

could you at least make it not a burden on me?

[Gamma Emerald]

Can we like…focus on this game and alignment in this game?

Ok.

STOP.

I'd like to do that properly but there are too many people refusing to back up their reads. Makes it far too easy for scum to fly under the radar. I think it's Gamma, and I think NSG might be another one, and maybe you, but it's difficult to be sure with zero cooperation. We should at this point be discussing the cases on people, but... nothing like that happens.

There are too many people not taking this seriously.

START MAKING YOUR CASES. NOW.

okay, I'll bite: what makes you think me + nsg + penguin are the scum?

[Gamma Emerald]

Hey my positions are still pretty much the same as a couple pages ago. I'm an open book. Ama.

who do you think is scum, just to recap?

[Gamma Emerald]

ngl, dann and Sir Bear both could be town ime

[Gamma Emerald]

2) made an honest and frankly brilliant observation about NM that I'm still appreciating several days later.

what was this, may I ask?

[Gamma Emerald]

Yeah gamma is scummy.

Still not seeing it.

actually I take it back I think if gamma flips scum then I want to kill this more than anything

I think Porkens is playing a little too awkwardly for a buddy

and I'm doing bad bad pre-flip associative stuff right now I need to reset

Gamma did townier after the emotional posting wore off

GAMMA LOOKS LIKE THAT AS SCUM THOUGH

on what authority are you saying this?

[Gamma Emerald]

hmmm

[Gamma Emerald]

You're null.

VOTE: Dannflor

can you explain what exactly you found scummy about this post

i can't tell if this hop on is too awkward to be scum

ftr I dislike that vote as well and have another reason to think Kitty is sus

[Gamma Emerald]

what's the other reason

I think Kitty tried to pull a fast one by rule-of-three’ing Junko in with me and Johnny as a townread

[Gamma Emerald]

Yeah gamma is scummy.

Still not seeing it.

actually I take it back I think if gamma flips scum then I want to kill this more than anything

I think Porkens is playing a little too awkwardly for a buddy

and I'm doing bad bad pre-flip associative stuff right now I need to reset

Gamma did townier after the emotional posting wore off

GAMMA LOOKS LIKE THAT AS SCUM THOUGH

386 COULD BE SCUMMY? I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO READ JOHNNY? I'M DOWN TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT JOHNNY AND JUNKO AFTER GAMMA GETS FLIPPED.

any particular reason for gamma over junko today? you were saying a lot early in the game and i kinda expected that energy to continue but i feel like you've been a lot quieter, have you caught up fully or mostly just been skimming?

JUST SKIMMING. I CONSIDER EVERYTHING ELSE TO BE MINOR COMPARED TO GAMMA'S SCUM TELL EARLY ON. I CAN SEE IT ARGUED THAT JUNKO IS TOWN OR SCUM. I'M WILLING TO CONSIDER VOTING THEM MORE ON D2.

You wanna back these claims up or do you just want me to go to town on your ThorHead ass?

[Gamma Emerald]

You wanna back these claims up

NO I WANT YOU TO BE FLIPPED

If you’re town, you’re ludicrously shitty. But after you slipped prior exp with me I am back to scumleaning you.

[Gamma Emerald]

Well that was ceartainly a treat,

anyway I agree with you except on porkens and gamma tho,

tbh I approach day 1 not expecting to catch mafia but to read into interactions, who feels like it's buddy buddy with who and who is spacing from who, that's my town game.

the scum teams(?) I posted are joky kinda not post, you don't seem to care much about setup but they are actually based on what everyone picked, you can get your own idea if you put a bit of time into checking the numbers

now I just gave you a better example of what I'm sitting on right now in 598

[Gamma Emerald]

also I'm trying to answer everything I can right now, cuz I'll be busy until tuesday night.

I have like an hour or so more

so if you got anything else to ask about 598 or 608 ask now or wait til then

CAN YOU GO THROUGH YOUR TOWN READS REAL NICE AND SLOW?

y u m e

n o t _ m a f i a

s c r r r r r r r r r d b e a r

and E n c h a n t

Your townreads are literally the most opaque players in the game
Make it hard to believe you’re being genuine

[Gamma Emerald]

KITTY, TOO, I THINK THEY ARE TRUSTWORTHY

I have a guess as to who you are

Any hints? Cos Sir Bear is giving me nothing

[Gamma Emerald]

You're null.

I actually do want to deter this wagon because Roden's actions around you feel shitty and in bad faith, IDK where you got that.

VOTE: Dannflor

can you explain what exactly you found scummy about this post

i can't tell if this hop on is too awkward to be scum

The "No! Bad!" just feels really fake and the claim immediately after is statistically wrong.

Where’s your evidence that it’s “statistically wrong”? I feel like Dann has a point

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: junko E-2

Ftr by my count this was e-3
since there’s 14 players it’s 8 to elim today
Figure I’ll clear the air on this since some* people seem unaware

*this may not be an accurate statement but I’m too lazy to fact-check rn

[Gamma Emerald]

idk, do you feel like you have other scum reads at this point?

I mean, not strong ones. I feel like this game is a bunch of big personalities clashing in non AI ways and it's hard to sift through that.

I talked myself out of my bear and Junko scumreads because I think I just think differently than them. Not that they're particularly townie but I'm just not comfortable pushing them

I think Kitty is scum here but I kind of always think Kitty is scum

What do you make of nsg’s point?

[Gamma Emerald]

@Roden

what are your thoughts on the current gamestate

[Gamma Emerald]

Consider my vote on gamma too

I still would prefer porkens tho

VOTE: junko

I don't have time to catch or make a complete post

1.i'm not trying to Guess the entire scum teams
2. My actual reads are in 598
3. At least 2 scums are on My wagon, that's the info You Will get by flipping me
4. There is a jailkeeper or a doctor in this Game

Do with that as you please

Unbelievable that lurkers get a pass but I Say i have to be LA

This site's meta is a joke

Anyway i voted out complete annoyance

You want gamma? Ok let's go gamma

VOTE: gamma

Btw if you wanna look for survivalism, look no further than this!

[Gamma Emerald]

I mean I was being a little facetious with the no bad

statistically once people have a list of town > scum then scum is usually more often found in the null reads, outside of players with exceptional read rates

Yeah but "always"? Also it's kinda early so half the game is null for me. And scum isn't half the game.

I'm finding it a little hard to engage with this game.

Ask me anything. Reads, mech spec, anything. I want to engage with someone.

your read on Johnny would be helpful

Mild town on gut.

The point Dann is making is not “null reads are scum” it’s “scum are null reads”, you got it backwards
I feel like based on experience from the last off-site game I had + other games close in time to it, Dann’s more right than wrong

Btw if anyone is still bothered by my lack of pfp, that’s getting resolved sooner rather than later

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: junko

I don't have time to catch or make a complete post

Unbelievable that lurkers get a pass but I Say i have to be LA

This site's meta is a joke

IMO this is town, I somehow doubt scum would self-vote at E-2 and put themselves at risk of a lucky lolhammer.

Your mind is as deep as a soup bowl, and your tongue is as sharp as a soup spoon

I’m not trying to actually be mean with this, I just think it’s a bad surface-level take and wanted to drop a line I think is cool


Also again it was E-3, and shortly after, Junko switched to me in a highly survivalistic manner, given she earlier professed a preference for Porkens over me.

[Gamma Emerald]

Why aren't you voting gamma?

My vote is on him or porkens i cannot vote them both at the same time

I wanted to get more info about porkens because the slot seems fishy so i voted to fish reactions from her and the roster

Anyway i voted out complete annoyance

You want gamma? Ok let's go gamma

VOTE: gamma

Not 15 minutes apart, I don’t think that logic holds
And why are you even playing devil’s advocate here

[Gamma Emerald]

junko already claimed they missed out on doc/jk which I assume they mean doc/roleblocker

I actually wanted jk thought it was jk/doctor

It's jk/tracker

Whatever VOTE: junko

Gamma is making stuff up about me "trying to survive" changing My vote to him "all of a sudden" when i said waaay before this weird wagon on me that i was fine with killing him, porkens hop off is also weird

Like i said i'm fairly convinced this is a scum push

I think I’ll let the facts speak for me rn
Also Penguin you’re kinda being gullible here if every time Junko self-vote like that you get baited into unvoting

[Gamma Emerald]

Okay

[Gamma Emerald]

:fry:

[Gamma Emerald]

I think NK15 is town
His reads seem shite in a way that tends to come from town!him
Plus he tends to just not give any fucks about his scumplay from my exp

[Gamma Emerald]

Gamma hasn’t been townie. No.

How so

[Gamma Emerald]

I would have self-voted very early this game if my partners were NK15 and Yume ftr

[Gamma Emerald]

Because I townread NK15, but don’t townread Yume?

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: yume
Alright.

[Gamma Emerald]

This makes two players Sir Bear has tried to flex meta BoP on without revealing who he is. Feels like he should be putting some skin in the game here.

[Gamma Emerald]

Why are you shouting?

I'M SCARED

Why are you shouting?

This is gimmick on gimmick violence

LOL. RODEN MAY BE TOWN AFTER ALL.

that at least confirms that I'm reading the name right

[Gamma Emerald]

I'd be down to vote penguin, he seems vaguely akin to how he was in the friends and enemies game where he was scum

[Gamma Emerald]

My execution would help scum, and no one else.

Can we please vote Penguin Power instead?
PP is very evasive with giving reads reasoning(on Day 1, no less!)

VOTE: junko

That’s nm’s e-1.

UNVOTE:

could you stop voting yourself?

Meh.

VOTE: junko

This vote progression on Junko doesn't make sense from a town perspective. Putting at E-2, then unvoting after a self-vote and telling them to stop voting themselves, and then voting again?Why would you yell at someone to stop voting themselves if you scumread them?
VOTE: Penguin Power

do I tell him?

[Gamma Emerald]

can we please *not* wagon PP

regardless of anything else that composition does not inspire confidence in me

do you have explicit reason to scumread any of them?

[Gamma Emerald]

Why was it between two posts at all lol

[Gamma Emerald]

less than 48 hours people, compromise time

Tell us who you're realistically gonna vote for or enjoy a lim free day

VOTE: PenguinPower
I would only vote nk15 to avoid a no-elim
Anything else probably go by my past posts, I’m not gonna worry myself on something that doesn’t have momentum rn

NK15 town games:

Based on these examples I think there’s a clear trend of NK15 just not giving any fucks about his scum game which contrasts with his town game where he at least tries.

[Gamma Emerald]

Why?

Because your “vaguely resembles frenimies” is actual bullshit so I’d like an actual stance.

I don’t really have a defined opinion on your play this game, I felt similar in Frenemies where you flipped scum
You feel very sideline-y

[Gamma Emerald]

Did…did you read what you linked?

Did you?
Read those fucking scum games and tell me I’m wrong about NK15’s scum meta. Two games I modded where he was a wet towel, a game where he self-professed to being shitty as scum and did nothing to try and improve the winning odds of his partners and instead played dead fish, and a hidden alt game where he straight-up thought “hey you know what would be a good move? Turbo-bussing my entire team while telling NONE OF THEM any of my plans!”
That is a man who has no self-respect and no respect for others when he rolls scum. Honestly he’s a fucking burden as both alignments as evidenced by the everything upick but he at least was motivated in that game!

[Gamma Emerald]

Maybe try reading the scum PTs too
I know how NK15 ticks pretty fucking well, I would say.

[Gamma Emerald]

Can’t read the scum PT now so I don’t see how that’s relatable.

PTs. With an S. Which means PLURAL! Maybe don’t be a fucking dick!

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: NK15
Whatever. Let’s just him and me out back-to-back, give Penguin what he wants so fucking badly
Enjoy having 4 dead town by Day 3

[Gamma Emerald]

Gamma I don't understand how you're villainizing Penguin but also saying he's sidelining

I mean I think he's been a pretty big driving force at least recently especially compared to like half the game

I had noted to myself he felt withdrawn earlier and didn’t bring up until now

This is explicitly not what you said. You were speaking in the present and you won’t talk your way out of that.

I do admit I spoke in the present but I was voicing existing doubt about past circumstances
Honestly you need to get a grip, you seem to have a hero complex and it’s gonna come crashing down when I flip

[Gamma Emerald]

You aren’t even flipping….

Well my time here is clearly limited because only like 3 people have voiced TRs on me here

[Gamma Emerald]

I have some questions to ask folks about some reads but I want to ask them all together so it’ll probably be held until this evening at the earliest (got a busy day today)

[Gamma Emerald]

I think I am a little bit more accurate than average

but mostly because I generally don't meme vote

So anyway, Roden is mafia.

VOTE: Roden

If he’s mafia he’s been playing a phenomenal game so far

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: NSG

Do you have any townreads?

[Gamma Emerald]

I think I already have an idea of why and it makes sense enchant thinks that way but I think I disagree at least currently

[Gamma Emerald]

I do think nsg’s lack of presence might indicate she didn’t care who got voted out which would be sus given she SR me and Junko but TR NK15
Also, I think I’ll split my questioning so I can get started on it now

[Gamma Emerald]

what is occams razom

It means the simplest conclusion is often correct

[Gamma Emerald]

Actually how, given I voted NK15 only out of tilt, I still thought he was town

[Gamma Emerald]

That second comma should be a semicolon I think, divides the thoughts more effectively into what I heard in my head as I was writing that

[Gamma Emerald]

Is your assumption that you think Enchant thinks Roden surviving is sus?

[Gamma Emerald]

Yeah that was my thinking too, since Enchant got busted in the last run I played for that

[Gamma Emerald]

@enchant:

could you talk about how you feel about Dann?

@Dannflor:

could you give some thoughts on NM and enchant, as well as diving into your feelings on nsg?

@nsg:

could you give thoughts on Johnny/Kitty/Penguin, as well as provide some extra info on how you feel about Porkens and Enchant?

[Gamma Emerald]

Aren't metaplay is to pick Ascetic Cop who can't be protected?

That is one option
A one-step-up play might be to pick PGO expecting to get targeted early

Also I’ll be upfront, I did try to pick rb because I figured it might slip the early draft spots and I feel like my record with rb is better than my record as doc, ESPECIALLY after CK9++. I’m bringing this up because if Penguin’s theory is correct, I’m effectively a miller to a draft cop.

[Gamma Emerald]

If you ask me.

Would i pick bulletproof again, if i did roll toppick?

Yes.

That only works if you either a) already have burden of proficiency (the type that gets you nightkilled early) coming in, or b) you put in effort to draw the nightkill.

[Gamma Emerald]

on that note we could lim nsg, if nsg flips town, we lim roden, if scum we lim porkens or another roden call no?

On an nsg townflip, my number 1 suspect would be you

[Gamma Emerald]

@enchant:

could you talk about how you feel about Dann?

Requoting this with the other portions removed since enchant has posted since the original post

[Gamma Emerald]

Dann would be more favored if he didn't vote NK15 who i declared mason.

Okay

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: Yume
I see you.

[Gamma Emerald]

currently working on the reading that'll funnel into my second volley of questioning

[Gamma Emerald]

small gripe: I'm having trouble telling what a lot of people read Scare Bear as, maybe because no real consistent way to refer to him as exists

[Gamma Emerald]

I’m trying to pull stances out that are unclear or unspecified

[Gamma Emerald]

can you give me a lowdown on who you are scum reading right now and like... how your thoughts have changed from D1? I see you poking Yume, do you think that is highly likely to be productive? that feels like a... luke warm push to me. What are you most passionate about right now

I think the most notable shift for me is I have shifted from thinking Junko is scum to thinking there’s one between her and nsg. As for my other SRs, I have a good number of low confidence SRs, and the read questions are meant to home in on things that I find concerning in some manner. For instance, my question about Enchant’s read on you was driven by him seeming to imply he townread you EoD1, but in his readlist you were neutral.

so why is yume the best push for you out of everyone

rn I am just trying to push her to provide more content
I'll vote an actual SR when I'm ready

[Gamma Emerald]

FUCK THE HAMMER THE HAMMER IS NULL I HAVE ANSWERED ALL WUESTIONS THAT EVEN TEMOTELY MATTER IM DO E WITH THIS GOOD NIGHT

This doesn't at all read like town flailing imo. Overall the response to pressure by Porkens was atrocious and clearly forced so ima park my vote there.

You just wrong and your read is bad. Learn from this.

Ok I’m done.

I’m a vigilante. If you decide to eliminate me, that’s fine. This town deserves to lose like no town I’ve seen before. I’d like to use my shot though so I will allow the town to leash me tonight if desired.

wut

[Gamma Emerald]

,,,who is mad at you

you have like one vote

For so far, Junko and Gamma got mad that I voted them.

zzzz
this feels like the same Yume from anything uPick (she was scum there)

[Gamma Emerald]

....buying what? you aren't being very clear about what is suspect.

I'm not buying this game

I'll rent it

yeah.. I give up

I'll come back each day to post a tiktok and leave

gg

[Gamma Emerald]

I think I know why junko doubts the claim and I can see it but I also think porkens has been pretty towny in his solving

[Gamma Emerald]

no - i was correct originally - this setup does not use the normal version of the role

I remember this coming up in the last run we were in together

[Gamma Emerald]

Gamma/junko/yume/Johnny/Rodan
? Yeah s that was you are saying?

Who and what was this about, again?

[Gamma Emerald]

@penguin:

could you give reads with a sentence or so of explanation on these players: yume, roden, nsg, N_M, johnny, kitty, porkens

@junko:

pls talk about how you've been trying to read enchant/NM/penguin so far

also, interesting developments.

[Gamma Emerald]

Gamma/junko/yume/Johnny/Rodan
? Yeah s that was you are saying?

Who and what was this about, again?

I also asked about this

I can’t remember. I just spit freestyle 99% of the timr

my guess on the matter would be "it's a scum pool" in which case it's pretty atrocious I think, which is why I asked about who it was dealing with

[Gamma Emerald]

porkens how would you rate your scumgame

[Gamma Emerald]

ah okay
I am kinda townreading you here in part as a result of one theme game where I neighborized scum!you and you were basically a dead fish in terms of presence
if it was an outlier I would have taken that into account but based on what you said I think it is emblematic of your general scumplay

[Gamma Emerald]

what did you think I meant before lmao

[Gamma Emerald]

I misunderstood I thought you meant we were scum together and I was a bad partner. It wasn’t until I dug up the game that I remembered.

well either way I'm not rlly bitter about it

[Gamma Emerald]

Gamma's new avatar makes me want to town read her more

he shoudl be banned for out of game influence

nyeheheh
I watched a video ranking the New Who regeneration scenes and some stuff in the video resonated with me so I opted for one of the Doctors rather than what I initially planned on doing, which would have been a Homestuck character

[Gamma Emerald]

mmmmmmm

someone said junko/nsg probably isn't a thing

I think I disagree

it was me and one other I believe
what makes you think they can be partnered? I take it that's your counterargument here

[Gamma Emerald]

my reason for thinking nsg and junko aren't paired is that if nsg did think it was safe to disengage at the end of the day yesterday it means no scumbuddies were at risk, so junko can't be a partner

[Gamma Emerald]

another thing to consider: she replaced a player who flaked in the pregame

[Gamma Emerald]

yume, roden, nsg, N_M, johnny, kitty, porkens

yume is a low-info lurker who can be yeeted
roden is town
nsg is scum
n_m, is a low-info lurker who can be yeeted...doesn't feel like he has in any of the games i've played with him since my return so i don't know what that means
johnny is lower confidence town than roden but town nonetheless
kitty is scummy - what this means for his alignment i don't know
porkens claim seems unlikely given his draft positioning but it should be self resolving so i don't want to yeet there today especially if he shoots yume/n_m

why don't you care about my thoughts on any of the other players?

I feel like you’ve expressed enough about other slots, I’m trying to fill in any blanks I spot

Anyway, what games have you had with NM since your return, exactly?

[Gamma Emerald]

the way star wants to collect town reads is cute and makes me want to think they are on the side of the angels

What sort of angels tho

[Gamma Emerald]

First townread of the game:

JunkoChan!

I think their misunderstanding of the setup looks rather genuine and not the way that scum would try to fake a slip like that. People like to WIFOM their way out of that logic sometimes, but scum rarely actually try something like that early because it's just not that effective as a way to get townread, on average. I believe there's credit to the fact that both SCRRRDBEAR and northsidegal held an early townread there as well! So I feel good about having JunkoChan as town from the start.

northsidegal actually pushes Junko later on

[Gamma Emerald]

Well if she’s going to be as worthwhile to the conversation as a sack of potatoes, then there’s really not much else to do than just kill her off
