Newbie 1758 - Symmetry (Game Over)

[Xalxe]

Locust

replaces DayahaangRai.

[Jackel98]

I have to agree with loopdan. Rai feels like scum who's pissed by being caught for the "wrong" reasons.

[Jackel98]

Welcome, Locust. I'm scumreading your slot pretty hard.

[Locust]

Hey I can see you are scum reading me. Rai was just a townie reacting badly to being read that way.

[Human Sequencer]

why are you defending somebody you're not?
instead, help us out by generating content. this game is slower than a snail on a treadmill. get some reads going.

[Locust]

Give us a moment I have just got here typing something up now.

[Locust]

Having gone through the 12 pages personally I am leaning towards voting Hellfire he does not appear to be actively scum hunting and seems to be almost scared to go looking almost like he wants all the answers given to him.The play style is frustrating to read I am going to put my vote here though maybe some pressure will change that.

HowardRoark makes some good points in almost every post some of the best reasoning to vote and unvote. I have a strong town read at the moment.

Joshz seemed to blow up after a few votes went his way I am thinking more town at the moment though.

Human seems to be actively scum hunting I am leaning town there as well although I am not sure why your vote is on Sobolev and I understand why HowardRoak has his vote here.

Loopdan I like for town as well again seems active and scum hunting.

Psyche seems to have been quite recently smells a bit like scum not wanting to catch any flack.

Jackel98 I also like for town (love the tables) some really good analysis done its just a shame about the conclusion. I am not scum and now Rai is gone I will hopefully be able to change your mind.

Soblov Space I am leaning town as well.

VOTE: Hellfire Missile

I am going to spend some time now taking a second read through of everything and will try to get something else posted after dinner.

[Human Sequencer]

really does seem like you're playing to everyone here
VOTE: Locust

[Locust]

Yes I have townish feelings on lots of people just thats just the way I roll.

Day one is hard to call I reckon it is an easy day for scum to hide in the shadows and stay inactive and non committal. So people who appear to be reading and re-reading and staying active tend to seem townie to me. All I have to go on is my gut so those are my reads so far. Currently going back through so if anything triggers me I will let you know.

[Loopdan]

@Locust-- Did you read any of this game prior to receiving your role pm? If so, how much?

[Loopdan]

Id also like to know about your prior Mafia experience, if any.

[Locust]

I read the entire thread quickly before signing up. I have only played face to face mafia before now.

[Locust]

So looking over the posts and sticking to activity (and finding the activity button). I notice Howard had a quick spree of throwing votes around and has now gone quite. Sobolev Space has also been quite. When they do contribute though they are making a lot of sense. I would want to see more from them. I think Human has town intentions I read through with an extreme anti Human bias but couldn't find anything that I could point to as obv scum.


Human if you do lynch me and I flip town who do you want to lynch day 2?

[Sobolev Space]

Agree with Sequencer. Post 281 seems to be pandering. The only people Locust has scumreads on here are Hellfire Missile and Psyche - the newbie and the passive IC - neither of whom are likely to be leading a wagon on Locust. Aside from that he has townreads on everyone for pretty mediocore reasons (including no reason at all given for his townread on me). Looks like he's trying to make the most inoffensive post possible to dig out of the hole DayRai got him into.

This, along with DayRai's posts from yesterday which I just caught up on, lead me to VOTE: Locust

[Loopdan]

I read the entire thread quickly before signing up.

What role did you think you were replacing into?

[Locust]

I thought maybe mafia. Rai seemed to be throwing the toys out the pram and, although that turned out to be because people were wrong ,the way he was going about it looked like mafia.

In response to space that vote seems very much like jumping on a wagon. I know I wasn't left in a great place and I would have work to do maybe I shouldn't have been so binary with my reads. I didn't have any particularly good reason to think you were mafia or town now as you are taking this opportunity to come after an easy target I am thinking you may be scum.


(I am currently on my phone sorry for any typos)

[Sobolev Space]

@Locust: what do you think were the motives behind DayRai's pbpa's in 173 and 251? Do you think he was making legitimate arguments or had any other motivation? What do you think about his quick vote switch from Joshz to Sequencer?

Also, now that you 'know' DayRai was town do you think any of the people on his wagon (Jackel/Loopdan/Sequencer) are scum?

[Locust]

I think when he is going after Joshz he genuinely thinks he has caught scum. By the time he is going after Human he seems to be driven much more by emotions. I however am not Rai. Personally I thought the wagon for Joshz was going after town.

If I had to pick a person on my wagon to be scum at the moment it would be you . Your vote has been on this role from the start it dropped off now jumps back on as it is gaining momentum.

Still your actions could be well intentioned and at least your posting so my vote is staying on hellfire.

It is midnight here and I am going to sleep in will check in in the morning.

[Sobolev Space]

Interesting. I have a lot of work to do and am also going to log out for the night but for my last question I'll ask you what you asked Sequencer: if I get lynched today and flip town does this change your scum reads? Who would you want to lynch day 2?

[HowardRoark]

Apologies. Weekend was a bit busier than expected. I did a quick read and am giving a quick response. More will follow, but most likely tomorrow.

@Hellfire Missile: Yes. Looking forward to it. There are plenty of other happenings of late for you to have thoughts.

I didn't think much of post 179 initially. Now, combined with the

DayahaangRai

Locust claim, I need to do some thinking.
@Jackel98: Why did you point 179 out? Are you planning on doing a chart on everyone?

@Sobolev Space: Thanks. Trying to understand your rankings versus stated reasons.

@Loopdan: Can you help break down that replacement chart for me? How many games does that cover?

@Joshz: You may not be the Village Idiot but you also haven't proven to be a highly valuable player. That's quite a flip on the

DayahaangRai

Locust slot because of a NAI rant from somebody who obviously doesn't care about the game or its outcome.

@Locust: How helpful do you believe the "Activity overview" will be in finding scum?

[Joshz]

Want me to be highly valuable?

Locust is lock town to me.

[Locust]

HowarRoak I think day one scum would find it easier to stay inactive and watch town go at it. It may not be site meta though so happy if someone tells me I am super off target and why.

Space if you were to be lynched today and flipped scum it would all depend on who climbed on the wagon and what reasons they had for doing it. I belive both Loopdan and Human have had votes on you in the past, but both have had their reasons.

[Hellfire Missile]

Working on my reads on Joshz..

Might seem weird (Reasoning)

Don't judge

[quote="In
I have a third one from the sub, which is 2 shy of hammer

Joshz seems scum.
He's almost too calm, collected, for a townie being 2 lynches away from death, although it could be because he wasn't on l-1.
He didn't give explanations for scum reads/voting for me and claims it's "gut" (is this a reasonable reason for attacking someone?)
Like, if i was 2 lynches away from being killed I'd be freaking out if i was a townie.

VOTE: Joshz

Okay, i tried, I hope i did something useful, although it could all be wrong(probably but its my first read so i'm sticking with it).
