Open 878: Scarfolk Council | The End

[Umlaut]

Vote Count 1.5

This public information poster is from the “Don’t” campaign, which started in 1973.

The council became increasingly concerned that citizens were too actively involved in ‘doing.’ Because ‘doing’ is a morally and politically ambiguous activity the council decided to take control and enforced ‘not doing’ until they could clarify and ratify only positive, socially acceptable expressions of ‘doing.’

The campaign’s mascot was called Kak the bird. To disseminate the ‘Don’t’ message among the youth, all school corporal punishment, daily vaccinations, and dentistry had to be carried out by an adult dressed as Kak.

Parents were also encouraged to dress as Kak then rush in on their young, sleeping children at 3am, and screech as loudly as they could: “Don’t, don’t, don’t.”

@umlaut the flavor is really neat

[Doctor Drew]

Ok have a few days off in a row, gotta give this game more attention.

I am starting to feel it in my gut that there is scum in Aisa/Alianna/Adante....as per my meta.

[Andante]

I HAVE FANS!!

[Andante]

Andante (3): skitter30, Menalque, Invisibility

this wagon composition is wild..

[Andante]

yeah so, I'm town, and yeah.

[Andante]

I feel best abt the andante wagon still

I feel like that's a terrible wagon

[Andante]

I am starting to feel it in my gut that there is scum in Aisa/Alianna/Adante....as per my meta.

I hate this post at this point in the game. if you wanted to play the "scum in the A's" game, that's what you do in early rvs, not 400 posts in, like are you trying to go back to rvs?

I think the wagon comp is great, that's partially why i like it

Why do you assume that is what I meant?

[implosion]

I think @implosion it would be nice if you could explain your read on sheep

Lots of things. Many of his posts individually ping me as town. His overall vibe in the thread feels like town who is willing to put their mind out there and be judged. Just going through his ISO for some random examples:

241 is a great post with a townie mindset that's not really how scum would approach it if they were trying to like, slyly attack CSF because it's giving CSF an easy out and just trying to start conversation (I guess theoretically it could be scum/scum). The frequency/way in which he changes his mind is townie; he flipped to townreads on Alianna and Woo and yeah, it was at the same time as other people but... that's because those things did things that could be reasonably read as town. He doesn't read as having the impetus that scum have to Get Someone Else Limmed. He feels agendaless. He's given less original reasoning than I'd remembered but still some. There's little things, like 45 which just (i think authentically) screams "yeah I'm not afraid of interacting with people, I have nothing to hide"

[Alianna]

Aisa's reaction test makes me more convinced she's town. Feels like a town!her thought process.
I'm also noticing a slight tone difference from when I was scum with her, but I can't really put it into words yet. I know that's not exactly helpful, just going to note it anyway.

[Alianna]

i can kinda see andante/alianna scum together

And also why you thought this could be a team

How worried andante got at alianna maybe being at e1. Makes sense to me if worried abt her partner getting flipped

Do you think scum!Andante would fake that in a world where I'm town?

[Alianna]

UNVOTE:

I'm just going to take this off for now. I don't know what I think of the recent Drew vs Woo stuff yet and I don't think I have the brainpower to analyze it properly at the moment. Apologies for being checked out over the last couple of days.

[Menalque]

will catch up later today, busy weekend

[Aisa]

I think

@implosion

Baah I think this is one of those votes where I start typing up some thoughts to justify it and realise I have no real justification -_-

Let's see if this is better
VOTE: skitter30

?

I'm sorry I should probably stop voting before explaining haha

Anyway, I'd like you to scumcase Andante for me if that's ok. I understand that someone having different reads from me doesn't mean they're scum but I'd like to explore the idea that in this specific case, it means that, uh, you're scum

1. Why do you think could be scum for having this read?
2. Andante came into thia game with a variety of takes that felt fairly outlandish to me: they were v disjointed, strange takes that by themselves didnt make sense, but also didnt make sense as a cohesive unit
3. For example, starting the game sk hunting is just weird and i think it's a weird place for town to start
4. The whole proclaiming herself to be obvtown ans finding people scummy for not seeing it was also kinda scummy

Thanks.

1. I'm afraid my answer won't be completely satisfying, but I'll try. I'm making a character judgment that this is town!Andante. It's more of a character judgment than a true meta read as admittedly I haven't seen her play

that

much.

When I consider the perception other players have of Andante's play I feel like it's common to think that
- She changes her mind very often and often posts stream-of-consciousness posts that can appear disjointed
- Also sometimes says she's obvtown

It sounds like you think those ^ things indicate she's scum. It also sounds like you've played with her before. I don't know if I buy this would be your reaction as town.

2. I can kinda see why you would think this but I also think I can personally see some logic in her posting. There are also things she's said that seem towny to me and I wonder if it's a red flag that you seem to be ignoring those.
3. I'll give you that.
4. That doesn't strike me as scum-indicative for her, as other players have been saying

i can kinda see andante/alianna scum together

And also why you thought this could be a team

How worried andante got at alianna maybe being at e1. Makes sense to me if worried abt her partner getting flipped

Well tbf to you, you made this post when there wasn't much else to talk about.
I think whatever alignment Andante is she probably did think Alianna was close to E-1. It's within the realm of possibility that it was scum-scum but Andante was being fairly brazen, in-your-face scummy if so.

[Aisa]

Uggg
I just dug up an old game I played with Andante to prove my point
And it doesn't prove my point -_-
viewtopic.php?sid=&f=54&t=89608&user_select%5B%5D=35498

This is a year ago so probably not super reliable either way but if it does indicate anything I think it indicates that 1. she's scum this game 2. I am an idiot

[Aisa]

I'm gonna go cry in a corner for a bit bye

*I'm fine, just comedic relief

[Aisa]

I believe I have seen the light. I am overcome with a sudden passion. I want to jump on this bandwagon. I wish to flip this right here and right now. (It's a good thing I can't.)

VOTE: Andante
I am in your clutches no longer you openwolf

[Andante]

soo you called me town and am now voting me… nice, and I have work again today, can’t do much now, before yall speed yeet me, I hardclaim I’m a pr, don’t need to know which one, but I am a pr.

[Andante]

I know votes keep flying my way, so it’s probably time to speak up now before I come back to being dead. but wow, shocker.. I was town? And pr?? woah!!!

[Andante]

also skitter tunneling me from the start of game genuinely feels off, all she has done is tunnel me… this is not the skitter I remember from years ago

and aisa calling me town then voting me feels odd

[Andante]

i don’t even remember what happened with that terminator game
