How did this game get so boring so fast? Maybe it's just me, but I saw nothing in those pages that I want to talk about.

[Wickedestjr]

Your hope of your friends being town means you're probably scum manipulating them already.

it's fairly standard for Tammy to immediately reach out to people she knows/wants to work with at the start of the game. do you have any scum reads outside of her?

This is a weird question for someone with no scum reads to ask...

[Vinkah]

it's essentially saying Layla is scum because scum might open in the way that she did. there's nothing in there that explains why, specifically, she wouldn't be likely to do the same thing as town. I didn't have any problem with her opening posts, either.

ffery, on the other hand, said "newb-scum are less likely to be spontaneous than newb-town". I don't agree that 20 by itself was town, but either way it laid out something she specifically thought was unlikely to come from scum.

walk me through this in more detail?

this makes sense and pretty much kills what i was thinking.

Vinkah, was there a reason that you didn't poke at me for my layla-read reasoning when you said your read was opposite?

page one read in which I thought I understood why you formed the read. there wasn't anything to poke at really. i just happened to disagree.

[Tammy]

I'm sorry!

I wasn't meaning to leave anyone out . I hope all of you are town and am happy to be playing with all of you and want to work with all of you.

If you all fancy it I can make a personal statement/reach out for everyone when I get home from pub quiz tonight!

I haven't read anything yet and probably won't until I get home tonight weeeee!

Also I realized that town has a winning streak so far in empire's games, so hopefully we'll continue that trend

[RedCoyote]

I'd rather go to pub quiz than play another game as town. D:

Especially with Tammy as I know we'll eventually start butting heads and I don't really wanna.

Honestly, I don't want to play with notscience. He really pissed me off the last time I played with him. I'm secretly wishing he would replace out except it's not really a secret now. I think I'll just policy vote him for now because I am bitter.

VOTE: notscience

[notscience]

Your concerns are important to us, and we thank you for your patience.

A customer service representative will be with you shortly.

That being said, I wonder where I've seen someone come in and try to pl me and then I wonder what they flipped..

hmmm..

Strange, I'm pretty sure BBT did!

As an SK!

Bad reasoning.
Also, these posts don't add up.

[RedCoyote]

Aneninen, are policy votes always necessarily bad reasoning?

[notscience]

They are when they're from scum!

[RedCoyote]

ns, do you like my new avatar? lalaladucks made it for me. It's the two of us playing together. On a scale of 1 - 10, how jelly are you?

I'll mark you down as 11.

[notscience]

So ffery, right now I'm at

You/Layla town

Wicked/vinkah maybe town

Ane maybe maybe maybe town

RC nottown

you?

[fferyllt]

ffrey, how do you say your own username in your head?

fer-ihlt. slight emphasis on the second syllable. in gaelic is pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable, but that's never been how I internally hear it.

[fferyllt]

You/Layla town

Wicked/vinkah maybe town

Ane maybe maybe maybe town

RC nottown

you?

If I were writing a reads list, I'd have Wicked and vinkah one step up from Maybe Town (my designation for null), so I think we're on the same page there.

Ane and RC are both null with squinty eyes. I've only played with RC 3 times. this is more playful than I've seen him play in the other games, but there's such a time-gap between our games, that I'm not sure playful is unusual for him or what it would signify. If I didn't respect the hell out of his scum game I'd probably be leaning slight town just because all things equal, I like people who look relaxed in the early game.

[notscience]

The biggest issue is I just got out of game where the SK suggested a PL on me in a playerlist full of people more likely to disagree with it than join and it just looks like "hey guys im doing things"

I can understand your stance though.

[Tammy]

Awe red coyote I hop we don't butt heads! I think we did pretty well in bees for that short time we were there! We were reading the game differently, but thats not terrible!

I'll be interested in nachos take on red coyote because he feels like he's good at reading him.

[fferyllt]

I will too. Nacho and I played as sangres against scum-RC in the most recent game I played with RC, and that was over a year ago. We didn't catch onto him until day 2 after we'd tracked his partner visiting the night 1 kill.

[RedCoyote]

I feel bad that Nacho has become the designated RC reader, lol.

[Layla]

I'm rather hurt I didn't get a reachout

Tammy's not getting a damn christmas card this year.

Also is that actually a scumread? I read that as RVS.

that's ok, we can form the first townbloc and exclude both of them!

Only if we can include layla

That's acceptable.

What am I a building block?

Why are you pushing this so hard?

And why is this oh so important? Seems like a weird thing to focus on, even if it's in page 3.

I have a very slight town read on him right now. His point against you is null imo, but I can see where he's coming from and it looks like he's trying to start helpful conversation. I'm inclined to believe that scumVinkah wouldn't voice disagreement with another player's read in his first serious post of the game. This town read would be stronger if he hadn't been so easily swayed by ffery to change his mind;

My initial impression on him was scummy because his post looked like he just wanted to cast a doubt at me. But the next few posts makes me think it's more of an issue of wanting to think outside the box or something, which is an upgrade to null for me.

How did this game get so boring so fast? Maybe it's just me, but I saw nothing in those pages that I want to talk about.

I am just curious. If you rolled mafia, what would you do in a situation like this?

[fferyllt]

I missed this earlier. What do you think of notsci's reads besides yourself?
