Mini 2286: Legends of the Hidden Temple IV (Explorers Win!)

[furtiveglance]

First and foremost I don’t really like how TW hasn’t made efforts to engage in our PT. I know I wan’t active but it feels like TW isn’t interested in sorting my alignment because they made no effort for this since I last posted in there.

Rest of my thoughts are as I catch up. I’ll post a few pages at a time as I read.

Post 173: This post makes me feel like Nancy doesn’t really understand the situation or mechanics of the game and I don’t think Scum!nancy stands to gain much from faking this. A part of me thinks Scum!Nancy would get help from partners for understanding the setup.

Post 182: No it did not. I’ll probably drop that weirdness as it feels like genuine confusion which is probably slightly plus town for nancy and I don’t think more can be attributed to it at this point.

Post 187 Seems to be Furtive playing dumb and trying to OMGUS. +Scum

I like 196 from Flea, I feel like it makes sense but it’s mostly mechanical.

Post 202. This feels like Scum!Furtive. Actively sorting only scum reads isn’t critically evaluating the game. That’s trying to get a miselim through. If you are reading and focusing on the game you should be looking for towny and scummy things, you don’t just actively search one or the other. Like there’s not going to be more information on something just because you ignore other things. Doesn’t make sense.

Post 213 is interesting. I think Aisa/Furtive being both scums made some sense with furtive’s weirdness on the slot, but this post really blatantly seems to say why would furtive be weird

specifically with my slot.

The natural answer I feel is saying they are partners but I don’t think scum!Aisa is this blatant about it

252 Drives an interesting point by Cephir that I think leads more into the partnership of Furtive/Aisa. Due to the high density of scum I think these kind of associatives will be many between partners so I’m partial for it. I’m surprised nobody has suggested a furtive/aisa team to this point but I suppose I haven’t had any scummy points with Aisa on her own.

253 Makes me think Flea is town. Good analysis and I’m interested in seeing if they’ve got more reads.

271 +Town for Gamma. Fairly depth read but I don’t feel too strongly about the logic myself.

Will be back later for more,

Note to self: Start next on Page 12.

I don't think you've ever played with scum furtive. Besides, you're clearly taking 'valuing scumreads more than townreads' as 'only valuing scumreads' - misrep.

This is fairly clearly what you are implying with that post and were doing in the thread. You were not focusing on reading your partner because they weren't immediately a scumread.

Meg, when have you played with scum furtive?

[MegAzumarill]

Deputy Cultists, off the top of my head

[MegAzumarill]

I think one more but could be wrong on that

[Gamma Emerald]

Why are you okay with your team being challenged, Meg?
Also did you read the rest of the game or are you interacting in real time for now?

[Haschel Cedricson]

There are

no challenges

active today.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I’m going to guess, she doesn’t tr duckling and neither do I. Also thought his predecessor was a bit cagey. My guts wants some Peking Duck after that last catchup.

[Cephrir]

If mastina's team doesn't challenge Meg's team, then I will

See my friend this is the issue, you can't just

offer

to challenge the Snakes in the public thread, if you do then obviously everyone will want to take you up on the offer

Is everyone afraid of being an available vote target? I'm not sure that's accurate.

[Cephrir]

Curious that meg didn't seem to even consider issuing a challenge against a scumread themselves. I guess it could be the thing Nancy suggested but I'd like to hear it from them if so.

I don’t really understand it either but scum definitely doesn’t want to go up against jaguars because that’s auto-lose, so if either one of them is scum here and my money’s on the slippery duck > Mega, it’s possible, that they’re maybe hoping that they either don’t get challenged or haven’t decided on which team would be the easiest to beat. Rn, I’m voting snakes no matter who they’re up against and prefer duckling > Mega.

I really think Duckling’s scum here. Idk about Mega but I caught scum!duckling on d1 of Pokemon large theme game, so if duckling doesn’t do something to change my mind and soon, I feel very confident he’s scum here.

[Yume]

Well, mastina will think this is a bad play, but I'll take it.

Challenge: Silver Snakes

So says me and my spirits.

[Nancy Drew 39]

VOTE: Snakes

Probably easiest vote of my entire mafia career.

[furtiveglance]

It's not a dance, you vote individual player

[Nancy Drew 39]

It's not a dance, you vote individual player

Doesn’t the challenge have to come first though?

I don’t think individual votes count until then or am I misunderstanding the setup?

[Nancy Drew 39]

a challenge, post in bold Challenge: PINK PENGUINS.
11. Once a challenge has been issued, the pool of players who can be eliminated will expand to include up to four names: the team that was challenged and the team that issued that challenge. Remember, once a challenge has been issued the game will not move on until one of those players is eliminated.

Oh you’re right. Well anyone voting either jaguar is scumclaiming.

VOTE: the worst

[Flea The Magician]

Nothing like salt in a wound, pain flare starts easing and the pharmacy doesn't have my meds - I've ran out x.x
Yesterday was a spicy as predicted but hey I found a Base Set Ponyta for 10p so could've been worse :3

<3. Feel better Flea.

[Flea The Magician]

Basically, Flea doesn’t want Iguanas challenged because fae’s afraid of furtive possibly being run up. So if furtive’s town like I think he is, why does scum!Flea make that particular post?

Yeah I'll confirm this. Was wanting to see what else spilled out from that pot before saying anything really.

Aisa still has my sus though and leaning scum there from what I remember, has been a foggy couple days.

Why just meg and not worst? Neither are really here.

uh I think there is a marked difference between my activity and megazu's

Eeeeeeeh. Given I've called out two of the highest posters as having the lowest posts of actual value, what makes you think I'm going see a difference in at this particular moment 3 posts you've made?

That said this sounds promising and hopefully I stumble on meg while catching up.

welp disappointed. I like the challenge but wouldn't mind knowing the thought process behind it.

[furtiveglance]

Not especially, the part that puzzles me is that you'd be down to challenge nullreads right now

STD is playing this phase in a way that makes me think whatever alignment he is is more likely than random to win this game

How is that relevant

+1

Duckling, who do you think is scum?

I'm going to bed now. I think the worst should challenge the Orange Iguanas, and that votepool would do me for D1.

i actually have no impression of either of the iguanas so far and would be down for this

interesting. I feel like I've not picked up the energy of any of megazu's takes and when I tried to sort in the hood megazu was like *claps* refer to the main thread

what have they done in the main thread that's supposed to be interesting to you

it's like you're inside my head

Spoiler: std only nobody else open

megazu is like, scum, right

Worstie are you okay with us dueling you+Meg?

I don't think you're scum with Meg but think Meg is scum.

i am less amenable to this plan simply because i think yume is town, suspect you are town, and have a low level of confidence on my ability to read megazu when megazu isn't really doing anything.

fine waiting for you to respond to this if you have ~reasons~ but i'd prefer firing on the iguanas then putting the squeeze on megazu aorn

If you have a nullread on both Mega and iguanas, why wouldn’t you want to look elsewhere? Like there’s pretty much no chance we’re voting out either Yume or Mastina, so don’t understand why you’d be advocating for a nullread > Mega.

I’m okay with switching to Mega, my sr on duckling is just stronger. Sell me on Mega and I’ll switch. I’m obviously not touching either jaguar.

I think Yume is town, mastina seems to have disappeared which is slightly concerning. As for the Snakes, I can see Haschel putting 1 scum/scum team in, and if there is one it's the Snakes. Both players quite sus. But I'd rather vote Meg.

VOTE: MegAzumarill

[Nancy Drew 39]

UNVOTE:

I’m going to think about this a bit, hopes both snakes will have posted more content. On reread, less confident than I was.

[Gamma Emerald]

alignments are randomized but S/S teams are possible
