@MrBuddyLee, hmm, I really don't care for HackerHuck's play and I'm not that convinced that scum partners would find it a good idea to try to shift attention elsewhere to try to save him if they thought there was a danger of revealing themself in the process (which you seem to be arguing they'd definitely find worth it) but like I said, I'll take a close look at Channeldelibird and see how much I like his play tomorrow. As scum I'd be pretty willing to stick to a bus even if a way out presented itself (but then I'm more prone to bussing as scum than most as evidenced by Mini 1090 which just got finished in which I somewhat unnecessarily bussed both my partners days one and two.) I also sort of think that HackerHuck, if he's scum, probably has a Porochaz partner who's simply not committing to anything just now.

What are you talking about? I asked you about it and you gave a half-baked answer that no one was around and that you wanted to talk to them before you dropped the hammer. Now that it appears something new is stalling my wagon, you appear unconcerned and reiterate your desire to lynch. It doesn't really say anything about your alignment though, because it would be too risky to quick-lynch me now that you've been asked not to. That's especially true if CDB is town.Ether wrote:I probably will. I still think Huck's scum, and his recent behavior only makes me feel better about this. He's tuned out since Monday, and after coming back he's just going on about wagon stalling. I think if he were town, the knowledge that his top two were both people who were calmly letting his wagon stall might be remotely interesting to him.
CES - if you buy the theory that MBL is putting forward, that means your scumteam would be me, Porochaz, and CDB. How does that feel to you?-

See...if you actually had a problem with my answer--if you actually gave a shit about scumhunting--maybe you should have called me out on your own initiative before dropping it and leaving me to draw my own conclusions. The thing that's stalling your wagon isme:my impatience with Zorblag and CDB, my love of CrashTextDummie, my silly inner conflicts over MBL. That was true before Zorblag posted, and it's even truer now that you're at -1. You ask me what I'm talking about, but I'm not even clear what issue you're taking with what I said.As I move my vote

Ether - you've been tunneling on me for no apparent reason since you entered the game. You accuse me of avoiding the thread, yet when I specifically ask you questions I either get no response or some rambling answer that doesn't make sense. What conclusions did you make from your own half-baked response? What does your impatience with Zorblag and CDB have to do with my wagon? Why should we believe that Porochaz isn't just inactive, and if he's really avoiding my wagon for some reason, what does that mean to you (considering he's one of my top two as you put it)?Ether wrote:See...if you actually had a problem with my answer--if you actually gave a shit about scumhunting--maybe you should have called me out on your own initiative before dropping it and leaving me to draw my own conclusions.

I think the wagon stalling has more to do with people simply notbeing here, not scum deliberating about hack's wagon.
I'm actually somewhat disturbed by my company on the wagon, if I'm totally honest. The three people I trust most are not on the wagon. As such I'm seriously considering swapping over to prozac...
not so much cdb, though I can see where the wagon's coming from.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

I doubt that all the scum will be on any one wagon. I also doubt that all the scum have voted already. It's a lot easier to sit without a vote cast.
Hi Zorblag, I heard we are supposed to duke it out.

Yeah, waiting till deadline is silly unless there's actually more that we expect to gain before it comes at any given point in the game. I'll be taking a look at a number of things this afternoon (it's been a long, busy week and my plans once I'm done teaching are to go get a watch battery changed, pick up a handle of gin and come home, start drinking it straight and read this game) but we are down to 2 days left at this point and I'm not sure how much more the rest of you expect to have to say.
@Lord Gurgi, that's what I heard to. I assumed it was because you thought I was scum as I don't have much of an opinion on you just yet. If you don't think that all the scum have voted does that mean that you think that Prochaz is definitely scum? He's the only one left who hasn't cast a vote.

Guys, I'm sorry again. Some personal stuff came up in the last day or so which has really got me down. I know I'm super fucking annoying for continually being behind and making posts like these but please take me on my word for this one at least. I probably won't be in the mood to put my head in this game tonight but I have a completely free day tomorrow and I will post as much as I can then.#greenshirtthursdays-

It's one thing to bewrong, to make mistakes, it's another to have bad analysis/reasoning for your reads. I think the latter is significantly scummier. Particularly, I'm not seeing that he has any feel for the game in the way I might expect a good townie to - there's no sense ofwhen something happens, he turns around and goes "whoa, what was that!" All the analysis he did, more or less, is rereading the thread. I think this is an indication of scumminess - I think town react far more to what's going on than scum do, and it's been setting off my gut for a while."
There is some immediate reacting going on, but when it happens it's fairly blunt. Like with inhim, he just goes "oh your claim is scummyvote inhim." I think that's honestly fairly opportunistic, and I think a townier approach to the wagon would involve more "WTF" and less "OMG VOTE INHIM". I'd note there's very little emotion in his play, but that there's also little of the in depth analysis that non-passionate players (the likes of vollkan etc.) tend to thrive on. It could be a playstyle thing, but it feels totally off.
His reads have been the same since pretty much his first post of day 2 - in particular, he's thought me and ether are scummy since his first votecount analysis thingy of that day. MBL, have your reads been the same since then? And yet he's not tunneling on us exactly. Sometimes people get locked into a viewpoint where they go "rah x is scum and damn the consequences I am gonna lynch the bastard" but then they tend to be actively pursuing the guy for as long as the madness lasts. People with weaker, less passionate reads tend to be more likely to let go. It's rare, I think, for someone to think that a person is scummy, get convinced that someone else is scummier and lynch them, and then go back to having the first guy as a mid level suspect, which is roughly how I'd characterise his play.
This is a post made mostly by my gut and theorycrafting. Logical rational shit doesn't come into it much here because a lot of my read on hackerhuckisgut and this is my attempt to quantify it.
(Well-argued, nuanced point about interactions with known scum.)Zorblag wrote:The HackerHuck lynch is find today and is probably my top choice. A huge part of that is how he's interacted with Glork. It seems like there were a couple times when he was coming up with short lists that included Glork and somehow Glork just never got into the picture. I disliked how he reacted to the claim yesterday and he spent more energy than I think was reasonable arguing against a Glork lynch even as it became more apparent that it was a decent way to go (but without going the over the top mindless being wrong route that Ether took.) The day one switch to a wagon that no one else was on when we were almost at deadline doesn't feel like a town move and overall I feel that he's just not a pro-town presence.

Not from my perspective - the gut part doesn't translate. And I feel I should've expanded on the "Glrok innocent result" before, but I'll do it now. Part of it is that I feel fairly confident that you're town and I tend to think that going with 1 fake innocent was the right play for Glrokscum considering how close to LyLo we were.MrBuddyLee wrote:(My comment: the Glork result is a horrid reason to tack on, and without it, CES's read could just as easily be on CDB or Poro)Scumchat is awesome.

So actually, talking about Glork's innocent claims, something that seemed to be the case when I was reading through it that I'm not sure has been mentioned by anyone is that Glork made his claim when it felt like there was some momentum swinging towards a HackerHuck lynch yesterday as well. I don't know how likely Glork would have been to take heat off a townie who was getting pressure right then in exchange for an increase in their chances of getting lynched the next day (as opposed to claiming some other result and letting the wagon on HackerHuck have a good chance of growing Day Three) but there was a decent reason for him to make that move right at the moment as scum; it took the pressure off right at the moment and there's always a chance that these things won't come back again. If Glork thought he'd be able to avoid the lynch for a day (and I think there's a pretty decent chance he thought he could) then I think there's probably a much better chance that he'd be doing that to a scum partner than an innocent just in terms of available targets.
I guess the question is whether my feeling that there was some HackerHuck momentum at the start of the day yesterday is accurate; it's harder to get the pace of a day when reading it all at once.

OK, reading through ChannelDelibird there is a lot of "this game is hard" and "I'm busy for now" which I dislike. The first set of his read throughs had Glork in the can't read category which is a point against him. I don't like that when he votes HackerHuck Day 2 he lists as his biggest reason the fact that HackerHuck doesn't seem concerned about the fact that he's not having an impact on the game; I get the same lack of impact from Channeldelibird and don't really think he seems to feel that bad about it. When people describe behavior in others as scummy while exhibiting the same behavior themselves it's troubling.
The ChannelDelibird reaction to Glork is decent town play or a reasonable recognition of a time to bus (or perhaps a decision to distance as it came a bit early.) I do like the HackerHuck hate even if it at times comes across as a bit hypocritical. The clearing of my spot does feel pretty half-asssed and he's more certain about the scum team even before the Glork flip than I expect someone to be but many players decide such things more readily than I do.
Glancing at Untrod Tripod's play it's early enough and largely defensive enough that I'm pretty willing to toss it out. There's the first vote for Glork but I'm not going to put that much weight behind it as I'm pretty willing to believe it would have been made no matter what alignments people had.
On the whole there's not a huge amount to like about ChannelDelibird's play and there are plenty of things to dislike. Having said that, I like HackerHuck's play less just from the Glork connections. I'd rather see a HackerHuck lynch at this time than a ChannelDelibird lynch.

Zorblag's town, which makes sense on top of the way chamber came across. And I'm going to go read the days before the Glorkclaim again. My last read had me convinced that it was Glork's paranoia about a vigging, carried over from day two once he saw that DGB wasn't in fact the vig. He wanted to avoid getting personally lynched, and he'd laid grounds for the cop claim either late day 2 or early day 3. He discouraged vigs of CES and to a lesser extent CDB. (He wanted CDB investigated/vigged, but behind Shanba/Yos.)dialing in mildly protown reads since 2006-

When I'm scum, I worry about needing to look protown. This is one of the biggest sources of my tendency to bus early and hard. I'm so used to being successful as town that I pretty much go into games as scum thinking "okay, how am I going to look successful without being too successful so that we can't win the game." Here, I was acutely aware of my inactivity D1, and I don't think I've been too concerned about looking protown. And goodness knows the results haven't agreed with Glorkscum. I don't much care with what other people think of me here, provided they don't try to string me up for it -- which is fairly typical of Glorktown.MrBuddyLee wrote:"How is my play as scum different from my play in this game?"
I sort of feel like this is California Trilogy III all over again, and at some point the scums are going to jump on my poor performance as an excuse to run up a wagon on me.dialing in mildly protown reads since 2006-
