as someone who knows that we lose if its voted out today, we should probably kersplode gypyx
which scum teams do you see as viable?
This is a real bitch of a question to answer because you and gypyx is unlikely, but then that leaves only me and gypyx or gypyx and The Other Consensusly Townread Slots. like. yikes.
just having reads on slots isn't going to help anymore - town need to find pairs of two players who can be scum together to eliminate to win the game.
psyche/drew
shrugs the mightiest shrug of all time
My d1 reads are usually not fantastic but like dang that would make me so sad
Is there anything about Psyche & drew that seems like, aligned or specifically working to get each other to a winning endgame, from your pov?
This isn't scepticism btw I genuinely feel like I need a check on Psyche & drewsuka. there's this like kinda simplistic world where the scumteam is you/gypyx and that's right some of the time but if it's not right this time I kind of need to check myself.
Psyche's d1 is mostly pretty solid but it gets content and I do see a world where scum views that hammer as a considered necessity. I also trust Psyche to know Psyche well enough to know whether the hammer is redeemable or not.
Ausuka's handling of d1 wagons feels really pure - I liked her play around Deus like, a lot. I like the way she approached Cakez and in broad strokes I tended to either agree with or at least vibe with most of her reads. She was also just really low presence by the end of d1 so I probably need to see more from her/drew on d1 to feel like, phenomenally confident.
In all honesty Psyche's reasons for townreading Drewsuka seem overall pretty good but like this one's said before alot of it is perhaps Drew using Ausuka's strong posting as a smokescreen. Like his vibes are good but this one doesn't think his content is as good. Would need to properly check in on that idea, though.
Psyche commented on it, but what are your opinions on my take about the voting pattern I pointed out yesterday? And why it still makes a gyp/PC team possible
Also since I am now Drewsuka, I am trying to find a good name for PC and the worst.
the worst poilitics
Politically worst
the worst Clout
I got nothing
Worstical Clout is the best I could think of, drewsuka came so naturally

Potentially. The other voice in my head is like "what if psyche just townreads ausuka". Do you think psyche's reasoning feels pretty believable and authentic overall?
Yeah.
I generally think it's pretty hard to fake an authentic seeming read on someone you know that you're scum with, so I'd probably in the abstract call that a point against an ausuka/psyche scumteam. Its also a little hard to fake authentic sounding reads as scum but it's obviously a skill that you'd want to develop so I think I'd call it a point against psyche being scum too
I have been at work, but skimmed today's posting and your catchup
Like why is this something you are considering?
I'm talking thru HPE's perspective bc I haven't quite worked out where they're coming from yet
The PC wagon is a lil surreal I don't vibe with gypyx's read on my slot like, at all, but I think I don't mind HPE's read on my pred. I also wonder how natural it is for scum!HPE ti replace in, see its partner Gypyx slowly wind up to a vote on PC with an awkward explanation, then thoroughly talk through its own read on PC just to justify jumping onto a wagon with only its scumbuddy on it

think scum gypx is capable of seeing the value in pushing a snowtown case at this step in the game though yeah it has town equity
i mean i think most people are capable of doing most things as scum. in this game in particular i think it's difficult to read into things because scum aren't being, like, forced into things. which like i will hold my hand up and say yeah that's partially my fault but it's still true
i think it's like a counterintuitive thing to do as scum so +town
I keep rereading this post like why does it feel like ausuka was forced to paraphrase Psyche's post at gunpoint
I guess it's possible she just had no strong feeling I guess

T3's opposition to the cakez wagon seems robust. Dived into meta, produced reasoning about cakez's claim that seems like it should have been even more compelling in retrospect. If it were just white-knighting, I think the townread would have either been half-hearted or been motivated more by gut / town / leaky reasons. The swap from Gypx to Robert for counterwagon purposes also seems organic. Is unfortunate for me, but think my T3 townread is in "I'm willing to bet the game on this" territory.
+2 posts above I'm just calling it I really don't think you're scum this game.

also think it unlikely that layla would have been killed N1 if her reads were bad
and all of layla's posts put robert and gypx at the bottom of her reads lists, with clout/snow safely perched above three other candidates, and only below obvtown
further think there's a lot of informational value in limming robert's slot if we can neither clear it nor agree on someone else
this post should include a take on HPE's current iso but it doesn't, vry disappointing
I'm not sure it's as easy to sheep dead town in micros tbh but I'll grant this.

rather good odds of 4 town on robert here

can i get more opinions on T3?
am i right to townlock him despite these recent posts? is the trajectory of his psyche read believable?
it's so stubborn
huh. maybe I actually secretly like the stubbornness of gypyx's posts a little bit.

i will now go through the trouble of summarizing my towncase for PC in a single, decently formatted post
if my confidence in this towncase can be broken in a way that makes snowscum way less likely, i'll push off
otherwise i'll spend the rest of the day trying to form a town bloc with drew and (???) T3

"-if no majority is reached by the deadline, whoever has the most votes is executed. if there are multiple tied wagons, i will choose randomly between them"
Gypyx is aware of the risk of calling for even one more vote on her buddy
I do not think psyche is scum.
I don't super love the gypyx/hpe solve. It just feels like they've made some strange decisions if they're scum together
Specifically on d2, HPE talking itself onto a wagon Gypyx was championing, then Gypyx calling for tying votes on HPE at end, feels...actually fuck maybe this bus makes a lot more sense than it felt in the moment. I guess an HPE/Gypyx team is actually p vulnerable and doing some weird shit to distance does make sense.
The point I wanted to make is that i townread ausuka earlier and I don't really feel all that strongly about that read anymore.
You can't step in the same river twice.
