i thought bpc and ceph's interactions were awkward but scarce (in-thread only), but there is so much behind the scenes going on, that none of us have a great idea of what they have been talking about outside the thread.

we talked 20 minutes and just ended our call a few minutes ago, finally!
there was a lot of rambling going on, and i was more suspicious of Ceph, while Flub is most suspicious of ETL. Flub believes Ceph is town and understands Ceph's agitation at certain points of this game, though.

so cephrir has a hard time reading us as helium? good to know!
if cephrir backpedaled on his townread on me cos I am sus of him then he...hasn't been listening to a word I have typed.
so you have paid enough attention to that anti and I discussed a movie interspersed with game analysis like the latter is pretty important but what you are giving me is character traits of cephrir that I can't see you really having unless you guys are *really good friends* which really meta does not check out in this case and I think it is fabricated?
plz go on.
pull another string so you both can dangle.
I'm still asking you to answer the questions and I do care about that answer, hence why it's the only thing I'm pushing on. And what do you mean I could have asked you then?
Cephrir and I are basically best friends. Like I have only the couple of game relationship with him here, but outside MS we're like pretty tight on an extremely personal level.
p-edit: It was Advance Wars and Serum and Steel (He's Chandra, I'm in a hydra with DV as Panderbears)

From the limited times I've played with him
, Ceph's town game seems more confident front of house. Given the interaction I had with him in predance and then PT stuff, I'm prtty confident he's town. Even though it's been two games I haven't had an issue with reading Ceph before.
anti, they only have 1 game together. I have like 5 with ceph.
Literally in that quote, I said two games. I get the impression that you never read past the first line of anything I post
we also were worried about what day 2 could be like if ETL/flames are both town, because then it looks very bad
So, he has Flames as somewhat of a PoE possibility, and ETL as a scumread.
Ceph's roller coaster like agitation has bothered me to where I auto-scumread him for that, and we discussed how Ceph hasn't been level headed in this game to say the least, but he feels good about his Ceph townread so there's that
there is a lot to ramble about, but we both need to read up a lot more as well

Looks bad how?
looks bad because we think each other is town, but we feel the other pairs are perceived as much more townier, so it is an uphill battle if day 2 is 2 vs. 4
i probably should have asked about what to say in my recap, but that is it. i will also say he sounded like he was genuine, although i am not a human lie detector (very far from it).
flames - scummy, but Flubber thinks flames from psat games is always kinda null scummy, so that flames "i feel like i wanna leave" is very much null. While, he believes ETL's "i will just leave then" is more likely scum manipulation. However, he is very aware and vocal about how he may be conf-biased, which I see as a very town POV the way he phrased it.
Ceph - i think is scummy, but it's not widely shared as an opinion
ETL - ??? defer
Anti, mollie - town
BPC - town because i believe if there's scum in that pair, it's Ceph most likely, not the other way around

i dont undrestand what ceph means by "mollie's mudslinging." idk why he painted mollie's posts that way
BPC, you seem pretty engaged this game...does this format of game appeal to you well? just curious
this is not my proper catchup or whwatever btw, it is a "omg holiday deadlines, finally got this call in like omg, must post" <333333
I'm kinda talking a bit for Ceph here because I don't know when he'll be back. He felt that mollie was trying to set up him and I as the next lynch where he was super confident that we're town. He didn't really understand the hits she was taking on us and he did a pretty quick angsty turn around last night on mollie.
I am engaged now! Crunch time yo. I think I prefer smaller games, it's easier for me to keep up with, but same time, most of my firends play large games sooo I still get in on those sometimes.
As for Flames, I'm still null on him because he seemed demotivated as fuck to me. i could see that coming from either scum or town.
I posted our neighborhood reads n thoughts hastily (oops probably dumbs) but
Silver lining is:
I believe transparent reads is important in this situation, despiteleaving both flubby and me susceptible to manipulation due to everyone knowing reads of both and thought processes too
(although my written thought processes leave some to be desired)
