Hi, Anen!

I just got here, reading through.

Players who have not yet confirmed have 48 hours to post before I'll search for replacements.

I'm fed up with you. You've yet to post anything even vaguely town and you don't seem to be showing any intention of doing so in the future.

It's almost like you have this air about you as though you're not even part of the game. It's like you're looking down on all of us because you think you know more than us.

Thank you for your solid contributions to the game thus far, Perpetual Nonsense. I only fear that you're making yourself such a high priority night kill now, with how town you're being. Please, if there's a doctor in this game, please protect Perpetual Nonsense, for surely the scum team will want to rid us of our voices of reason.

I entered the thread with fire is bad for business, I was the one who placed the vote on you. Syryana is train boy. My first priority this game was very much going to be you

And while I didn't really mind the burn burn burn post I thought you would really want to get town here based on situations and Syryana and so your opening would have a bit more RAWR to it, which seemed to be lacking.


Oh. Just because there are things I'm trying to process and figure out doesn't mean I don't want to indicate to you that I am town.

Again, I'm reading this response in a very, very flat tone and that worries me.

I'm also voting you because you didn't call me town.


I do have opinions. None that I care to voice currently, for reasons you should probably understand, because it should be obvious knowing me who I would prioritize getting out of the way in reads this game. The reason I asked about the lynx wagon is I was wary of a lyncher. On further reflection, I realized that mastin and ceph wouldn't need to commit something like that, so the way they are adamantly pushing the wagon sits wrong with me, and I wanted to see if you agreed.

I think you know as well as I do that I'm not going to commit a read on you this early in the game.

Why do you not care to voice any opinions? Regardless of who you're prioritising sorting, you should be able to form opinions.

I cannot tell if this is a good post or a bad post and I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. I think Perpetual Nonsense seems to be thinking that there is a problem with the line from Tammy quoted here, and if so then that's at least more town than anything else Perpetual Nonsense has written so far, but the language in this post is not one I'm familiar with so I'm just making rough guesses about what it means.

I think I need an interpreter.

In post 206, Luna Fox wrote:

Probably not. A lot of people seem to fear lynchers but they rarely exist in games.

In post 207, Luna Fox wrote:

I don't know you, so it's not obvious, so can you mention who?

Still not asking the right questions of people, but I don't mind the questioning process itself.

In post 208, Oil Tycoons wrote:
In post 204, Fluff Central wrote:so the way they are adamantly pushing the wagon sits wrong with me, and I wanted to see if you agreed.

It seems to be very much a Cephrir action and not a mastin action, which is significant to me and will come into play once I see how mastina interacts with the situation she's inherited.

As for now, it's not a concern; I don't think the reasons actually exist that make the Lynx wagon a good one and don't think the majority of the town will follow and so Cephrir will eventually be forced to abandon or explain, and I will analyze the situation when it happens.

Don't understand why you're afraid to voice opinions; explain why to me?

In post 204, Fluff Central wrote:I think you know as well as I do that I'm not going to commit a read on you this early in the game.

That was a joke.
Don't be such a stick in the mud notty :igmeou:

This is the right question to ask and, again, I'm happy with the thought process presented in the way Oil Tycoons is approaching Fluff Central, and I hope if I say this enough times, Oil Tycoons will not see me as a threat and give me a free town read.

One can dream, at least.

I don't understand the response.

Perhaps we should put an ad out for a Perpetual Nonsense interpreter then, if I'm not the only one with this problem.

Hmm. I'm not really a huge fan of people who feel the need to say they haven't read anything and drop a "random" vote anyway. I should
actually
look into whether this is common behaviour for this player, but I'm not going to because I don't feel like it. Maybe someone else will. Or maybe they won't. Or maybe it doesn't matter a whole lot. Whatever. I don't like this entrance into the game, in short.

In post 212, Oil Tycoons wrote:

I didn't see any cute posts either. It's like we're twins.

I don't mind this vote. Although I would like to know why it happened where it did.

In post 214, Oil Tycoons wrote:Like I saw you say that you were here and fire didn't mean what you thought it did (did you think it was an ellie goulding thing?) and then I saw you do a bunch of other stuff which made it look like you were less town on me than you were in that post.

I'm just going to assume this is a town post and assume that if I call it a town post, Oil Tycoons won't notice that I'm trying to get on their good side so they think I'm more likely to be town.

In post 215, Fluff Central wrote:It could be how I just got burned by my highest priority to sort, so while they are still my highest priority I'm not committing anything until I've had a chance to think it all through. Next would be Mala, who hasn't actually posted. Then you, then Bert, then Cabd/PA, then Tammy, then mastina.

I don't think we've settled in anywhere near enough to actually be comfortable with a stance on anyone.

If you want me to go into why I haven't committed reads on the above-

pie- .
Mala- hasn't posted.
You- I won't be sharing any time soon.
Bert- I was trying to talk to then got voted
Cabd/pa- All he's done is setup spec, I want to see where his reads fall.
Tammy- I don't really have an excuse for this one.
mastina- I'm not really confident in my ability to read her, plus she hasn't actually posted yet.

I think a lot of the early game has revolved around mechanics and what to share and what not to share and it's not making it easy for me to actually sort anyone.

A big part of it is that I think, and I didn't use forethought, that wagoning you to get out of RVS isn't going to help gain a real bearing on you as you wouldn't flip under pressure, I wouldn't be surprised if you anticipated an early wagon based on the members of the game.

This post is (relatively) large (compared to what else has happened in the game thus far) but it isn't actually saying a lot, nor is it actually addressing any of the issues.

In the first place, the second last paragraph is blatantly false. While I don't believe there's a super-duper-amazing amount of content in the early posts in this game, at MOST 10-15 posts were about what you described (TRUST ME, I'VE READ ALL OF ThE POSTS). Even if we suppose that 50 other posts are void of content and 30 or so are confirmation posts, there's still at least 100 posts that you could have formed some sort of opinion on. Yet you've shared no opinions and seemingly have none on the people outside of the list you presented.

It's not even about being comfortable with stances; no one ever has seriously said they are 100% confident of a read early (I suppose there are a few exceptions to this but that is beside the point). But people are still able to share early thoughts on others despite not necessarily being "comfortable" with the stances. That's how the game progresses. That's how mafia is played.

I really don't like anything about this post (or really anything about Fluff Central's posts so far).

In post 216, Luna Fox wrote:I don't see why one has to prod you for this kind of info instead of you just outing your thoughts.

Exactly.

That was the best part!

I'm not convinced, but I think this could be a null post.

It's clearly because I am scum who has no idea what to do when I get a scum pm in a game full of people close to each other, rather than manipulate my past to snow them.

If anyone is familiar enough with the player in question here, I'd like to know how likely it is a statement like this (or just a statement about being scum) is to come from them as either alignment.

Because the way it's written here and the circumstances under which it was written (which seems to be an attempt at shaking off pressure by doing something contrary to what you'd think is common sense here) are actually concerning to me. It's hard to properly explain exactly what my issue with the way it's written is (because I don't think jesting about being a bad guy is scummy itself, but I think it certainly can be under the right conditions), but I really don't like this post (on top of all the other things I dislike about Fluff Central so far).

Actually, I would just like to hear the opinions of anyone who thinks they're familiar enough with Fluff Central that they can read them well.

What I thought it was doesn't matter. Why would you even care if I didn't have you as solid town though???

I don't think that's what Oil Tycoons was saying - it seems more like they were saying that you seemed to come in with a read of a particular strength and that the read seemed to wane for whatever reason.

In post 220, Perpetual Nonsense wrote:Let me rephrase that, maam!

And it turns out that I was entirely wrong in my interpretation of that post and Perpetual Nonsense goes back to having said absolutely nothing worth reading. Awesome! I can already tell this is going to be a really fun game!

VOTE: fluff central

How familiar are you with Fluff Central and is this a serious vote based on prior knowledge?

In post 222, Luna Fox wrote:I dont understand why you're getting all snarky and sarcastic with me, from my PoV if you're town you can be honest with your thoughts instead of keeping them hidden, so i don't see why you didnt want to out your opinions before.

This actually, more or less, hits the nail on the head with regards to Fluff Central's post, actually. I also don't really understand where the snark/sarcasm came from and I don't think it was unreasonable to ask someone to share opinions. And I think the fact that I don't really understand where the snark/sarcasm is coming from is probably the biggest issue I have with it.

In post 612, Kamigami wrote:I don't really see anything that I strongly associate with his scumplay. I don't think your point is especially compelling, and it seems like his initial vote was to feel out something that he developed a stronger opinion on based on your response.

I think the sheer fact he's done nothing and needs to "feel out" something in the first place is indicative of his scum play. In my experience with him as town, he doesn't hesitate to latch onto the smallest thing as soon as he sees it and start hard pushing it. As just the most recent example, AP's micro where he pushed ETL straight out the gate based on what he perceived as a PT slip; it was fairly obvious that he was attempting to convince people of what he saw and attempting to get as many votes on her as possible. As another, Touhou Makai where me and him strongarmed the shit out of everything the majority of the game.

From what I've seen, that kind of play is what is most definitive of his town game. On the other hand, his scum game is drastically more passive and reactive, and when he *does* push something, it feels half-hearted, as if he's just doing it for the sake of doing it. I think that if he was town here, and had an "unsure" read on us, there would be a lot more active questioning of our posts and there'd be a far more noticeable effort to attempt to refine the read other way. What he did here was park his vote on us, despite apparently not even thinking we were scum (which he did say), and then leave said vote there without any engagement with us the entire time until I came in and started pushing him. The only attempt to sort through us was , which he doesn't seem to be pushing anymore and hasn't seemed to reach a conclusion on either way. Which, surprise, reads more like he's pushing stuff for the sake of it rather than actually believing what we're saying.

I also don't really feel comfortable saying that scum are sitting there because they have no idea how to react to my wagon; I think if scum saw a significant amount of early suspicion on me, they would be perfectly fine with jumping on it. I also think there's still a fair amount of people who haven't had much of a chance to catch up in full and develop an opinion either way on it.

Supposing that you're correct to say my wagon is town driven and scum have no idea how to react to it, who would you be looking at for scum?

The fact that ZeL isn't even addressing recent posts either makes it confirmed a PR or confirmed he's just fucking with us.

Hi Bert! I think for the most part it shouldn't be too rough, I think we'll probably end up sorting out which (if any) of us drew scum between all of us.

This will probably seem like nitpicking (on top of perhaps confirmation bias) but the "if any" part here doesn't sit particularly well with me. The odds of there being no bad guys among the hydrae is pretty dang low, and while it could have been added as a precautionary thing (since it's not
necessarily
the case that there's scum among the hydrae), it just feels overly conscious.

I can tell the bad guys are shaking in the boots at the thought of having Perpetual Nonsense alive past day one.

I'm currently pondering whether this is a lie coming from a bad guy or an innocent joke. It is very hard to tell. It would be nice if you could indicate whether or not you're being serious in your posts because people might get the wrong idea.

In post 229, Luna Fox wrote:Tammy's vote is giving me weird vibes, maybe im wrong?

I don't think it's necessarily the case that only one or the other could be a bad guy, but I do understand the apprehension.

Also, mostly unrelated to this post in particular but my initial thought about this game is that it's really unlikely all three of Kuroko Network, Fluff Central and Tammy are town and this isn't just a random group of three people. There are things going on in this game that I think I'm just registering subconsciously right now, but those three slots are giving me concern. I think it's probably unlikely they're all bad guys but I wouldn't be surprised if 1-2 baddies are in that mix.

Debbie visited a psychic of some local repute. In a dark and gloomy room, gazing at the tarot cards laid out before her, the tarot reader delivered the bad news:

"There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just be blunt - prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year."

Visibly shaken, Jennifer stared at the woman's lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself.

She simply had to know. She met the tarot reader's gaze, steadied her voice, and asked:

"Will I get away with it?"

I don't know what you're asking me. You said maybe you're wrong about it giving you bad vibes; I'm agreeing with you that it's wrong.

Hmm. It is mildly interesting that you're both interpreting the "maybe I'm wrong" thing incorrectly as well as being overly conscious about what could be wrong with your vote. I'm undecided whether I should be reading too deeply into this right now but it doesn't make me feel good about you.

In post 235, Luna Fox wrote:the "maybe im wrong" was related to my vote on fluff, since you're voting there and you're saying im wrong im guessing you misunderstood.
Also if there's something about me you guys don't understand please ask, i rather not be misunderstood.

I don't think if was that hard to figure out what you were saying. Which is actually part of what gives me pause about Tammy's responses. The problem is, even if I were to come to a conclusion about this and think it meant something about Tammy's alignment, it would probably be brushed off as her being "tipsy" or any other in a long list of possible excuses that could be made for that.

In post 236, Fluff Central wrote:Tammy, you were grilling OT pretty hard and then took the opportunity to vote me without actually pressing me for anything.

Why?

I don't think this is an unreasonable question and I don't mind this post, actually. I think it actually makes me feel slightly better about Fluff Central, all things considered. Not so much that I'd be willing to call this a town post, but this is a very well-composed post if they're actually scum.

That doesn't mean that you can't express stances.

In post 215, Fluff Central wrote:I think a lot of the early game has revolved around mechanics and what to share and what not to share and it's not making it easy for me to actually sort anyone.

A big part of it is that I think, and I didn't use forethought, that wagoning you to get out of RVS isn't going to help gain a real bearing on you as you wouldn't flip under pressure, I wouldn't be surprised if you anticipated an early wagon based on the members of the game.

A very tiny chunk was Cabd and Kagami doing their setup thing together. Another, sizable chunk, was me making a push on Tammy and then retracting it later; what did you think of that? What do you think of the way she reacted? What do you think of how I'm approaching you? What do you think of our expressed towntell on Konowa?

In post 219, Tammy wrote:Why would you even care if I didn't have you as solid town though???

Because I thought our opening was very very jazzy and I was excited for you to see it and be like "wow look at how town they are!" and instead you said our push on you was meh.

Oh. Well, whatever. Just going to point out that I, once again, agree with most of the stuff Oil Tycoon is writing here. We can be BFFs or something. Maybe we can have a sleepover some time and braid each other's hair and stuff.

vote: Fluff Central


I don't like the attempt at discrediting town reads on Kamikagami because he outed role information in his previous scum game, for a few reasons. The only reason he even played that way as scum was because he decided to go balls out yolo and do something insane just for the sake of doing something insane. Kamikagami's is also fundamentally different from his play in that game in that her information serves to clear people whereas his didn't, which is more likely to come from town than scum as scum usually don't go searching for ways people can potentially be cleared. I don't believe he'd think what Kamikagami did was the same thing he did in that game, and I don't believe he'd Kamikagami, or anyone else for that matter, would do the same thing he did in that game in any other game.

I don't like him spec'ing a lyncher in the game when this is a upick and upicks are plain town vs. scum almost 100% of the time.

I haven't minded Tammy or PN's posts so far.

I'm tossing up whether I think this vote is coming from a place of genuine concern or a place of wanting to come up with an original reason to justify the vote and then over-explaining it so as to appear town. Coincidentally, this is yet another post that ties into what I shall henceforth name the Trinity of Concerning Players.

I don't think the reasoning is necessarily wrong, per se. I just think it's half making a mountain out of a mole hill and half long-winded and probably entirely unnecessary over-explanation.

The second last paragraph here is something I
really, _really_
dislike for a number of reasons.

I also don't really understand where the Tammy and Perpetual Nonsense reads are coming from, nor why they were an addendum to this post.

In post 240, Oil Tycoons wrote:One reason that I don't like your Cephrir push which I didn't express before was how it was a shallow comparison to your push on Spicer in Disney uPick; you claimed concrete role information which is why the wagon exploded in a really stupid way. Cephrir didn't, nor is it in his style of scum play to do so (although this second point is much less significant than the first).

I'm going to assume this means something. I'm going to call it town despite not understanding who it's referring to or what it actually means. And I'm going to hope that nobody calls me out on my incessant buddying of Oil Tycoons.

Well we have a PT now, but it's not really that we decided to go with a strategy, so much as...well, that's what happened. Ceph warned me before the game began that he's pretty bad about correspondence, and when he didn't immediately make a topic, I just made the assumption he wouldn't. (He...sort-of did? By repurposing an old one, I think.)

Seeing as this is based on posts that I'm assuming are prior to or on page four, I'd like to see an explanation for the Oil Tycoons opinion.

In post 242, Tammy wrote:OOOOOHHHHHHH

I'm town Luna, so you don't have to feel weird about any wagon I'm on. In fact, I have no scum reads right now at all and am shooting random blanks, so!

What about Luna Fox's posts (presumably the ones on page 10) made you feel this if you didn't already feel this?

I was grilling them hard, what?

I think it is a reasonable opinion to have that you've been interacting with Oil Tycoons in a way that's been at least somewhat hostile. Post number 199 is a good example of this.

I agree, although I don't know what the OOOOHHHHHHH is about.

Right. This, too. The "OOOHHH" makes it seem like you just came to a sudden realisation. I don't really understand how page 10 was what gave you this sudden realisation.

I'm more or less here, except i have some suspicion on fluff.
I normally have an easier time getting townreads anyway so im not too worried about not having any solid scumreads yet.

It is early days, I would be surprised if anyone had solid reads of any sort at this point. Especially since a substantial portion of the game hasn't really chimed in yet.

Give it time, young one.


And that's my five pages done today.

In that case it would be very statesman-like and BOLD! Brave young lad this person must be! WE hope to earn his well-earned respect he receives one day! :cool:
