Who wants to form a towncore with me?

I am ready to push and lim the wolf

Black?

Why Ranger over Drew?

Idc either way to a certain extent. Are you coring with me?

[Black]

Sounds kinky

Idk how to core with people but I think you are very likely town, so yeah I guess so

I need to ISO Drew because I can't remember anything he's done this game besides give me the yellow M&M

[DragonEater70]

I'll be replacing JV. If he comes back before I find replacement, he can keep the slot.

Also, prodding Doctor Drew.

[Save The Dragons]

Can I has towncore

[Naerys]

This game becomes a mess of replacements

[Black]

smh

[Black]

Can I has towncore

I think you're probably town but gob is the President so he has final say

My town core is probably like {gob, HEM, StD} and probably Naerys. Gob is my most confident townread which is ironic considering I really thought my gut read on him was accurate D1. I don't feel as good about the other 3 but I'm not interested in fading any of them today

Drew, Dave, and LG are slots I need to get a better grasp on

JV/T-Bone are the two I'd prefer to vote today. Ranger I'd be willing to consolidate on. With Ranger I've had a sneaking suspicion all game that she's mastermind scum trying to play us all. I kinda pushed that feeling down after everyone told me this is Ranger's town game. I still have a hard time seeing her gambit at the end of D1 coming from scum but maybe that was part of her plan. A TWTBAW route. If it had worked then python would still be here, so it would probably have been worth

[Black]

I guess LG is Enchant now so my hope of getting a better grasp there is probably misplaced. I do want to look over LG's ISO in more detail though

[Black]

I'm gonna start with Drew since he has a lot less posts

Hi are you mason

[Black]

Spoiler: Drew ISO

Drew's first few posts are jokes

There's an interaction with python in 86, 88 and 89 that feels strange. Python defends Drew by saying people can't scumcase him, Drew asks why not, and then python responds to him but is talking like they aren't responding to him with the whole "scumreading Drew is like a fine wine". I'm not sure why they don't say "scumreading

you

is like a fine wine." It's a weird perspective for python to have. Not super compelling partner evidence but if python was wary of interacting with their partner directly then they might have subconsciously used this verbiage

@Drew what was the townread on python in 369 about?

Drew invokes python in 377. This doesn't really feel partnered. Maybe if the plan was to interact a bunch for theatre I guess. It feels like a lot of Drew's posting is about Python around this point in the game

385 another open defense of python

391 joking with python

472 invoking python again. The amount of times Drew has talked to or mentioned python is starting to seem sus

I thought 516 was weird when I read it and I still think it's weird. Drew is completely misrepping me here, and I don't think he ever responded to me when I called him out on it

677 Drew continues his pressure on gob. I like dave's 660

@Drew what was your scumread on gob based on? I scumread him too at the time but my reasons were because of how he was interacting with my slot. I don't see any reasons for you to be suspicious of him here but maybe I'm missing it

I actually like 704 and it's the towniest post so far. It feels like Drew is thinking about the players on a deeper than surface level here

765 the threat to python to snap vote them feels bad

778 back to Gob when gob's wagon was tied 3-3 with python's. Could be scum trying to manipulate the wagons in the scum teams favor here

Drew gets pressure and switches back to Dann immediately in 786. What. This reeks of Drew knowing that going back to gob and making his wagon overtake python's was scummy

Drew's reasons for not voting python in 1216 are believable but they could still come from scum

1219 a little WIFOM here. I would like to look at Drew scumgames to see if this is actually true. Off the top of my head I know he didn't bus kyouko in a recent game together. He did try to bus StD in Wilson 7p, so there is some truth here

1272 - @Drew, does python's flip not make you feel any better about gob?

I'm not getting much in Drew's 1v1 with the monkey. Drew feels a little defensive but that's about it, probably NAI

tl;dr - Still unsure about Drew here but I have a much better feel for his slot than I did before. I would like Drew to answer some of these questions

[Black]

Hi are you mason

What kind of question is this

[gob]

Hi are you mason

What kind of question is this

a good question

[Black]

I disagree completely

[Ranger]

Ranger you seem kinda unconcerned about the wagon against you. Just trying to continue to hunt and pressure. It reminds me a lot of how Python responded to pushes.

As long as players are sheeping Dannflor, I see no reason to be alarmed by votes on me.

Given Dannflor explicitly believed I was town, sheeping him means the votes on me never get an elimination.

If you’re interested in an elimination disobeying Dannflor, I’m happy to engage with you; I’m working under the assumption the majority of players here today are of a different perspective.

Seems kinda like weird/fake logic. If youre town then you need to give up your weird ideas of Dannflor and following him.

DkKoba replaces JacksonVirgo

nvm, I have made an error and put JacksonVirgo on replacement before the prod expired, and they are back now, so they keep the slot.

Apologies for the inconvenience for all involved.

[JacksonVirgo]

Lmao yay, I'm back

[JacksonVirgo]

That gambit, if it came from scum, would be high risk with pretty low reward. So I'm going to have a hard time reading it as such

[T-Bone]

No Enchant we're masons you can't tell them

[T-Bone]

In this game a certain kind of joke can also be role fishing. I have noticed 2 TR and 1 SL who might have gone fishing. That's somewhat troubling.

Wasn't unnoticed. We have an hour and 45 to switch.

@T-Bone -- I noted those posts, scolded people about them

(in a way that avoids talking about masons myself)

, and referred to it again. Are you reading?

It's one post out of 1600 but fair enough you did it I'll go back to yelling at Black for this.
