Open 797: Bus Service [Game Over]

[Swizzle Pop]

im a bit concerned that i havent seen A50 but it is the weekend and we've only been in the game for 24 hours.

This is roughly where I'm at with him, btw. When he's here, he gives off familiar townmonkey pings, but he's been light on presence all game and I'm not sure what that means from him.

Particularly this feels like a town monkey moment, but he never followed up on my response. He did set up the N_M lolhammer, which DOES fit cheekyscum him (particularly if N_M is also scum), but he's kinda just... absent.

really? you think its townie to be pointing out who isnt the cop?

i call BS. never in my life have i ever met anyone even close to that old.

I prefer the term "vintage".

[Swizzle Pop]

ok but for realsies a-fifties, what are your reads?

also shouldt you switch to an alt called "past50" or something?
-tai tai

[Swizzle Pop]

oh btw i spent a lot of time engaging with froppy yesterday and really didnt get anywhere. does anyone have thoughts? i cant really parse whether that was a townie response of townie struggling with the game and feeling cornered and justifiably skeptical, or if it was scum being frozen. a lot of the responses were kinda surprising to me.

I think that conclusion (that I wasn't the cop) is NAI. I think town is more likely than scum to throw the knowledge into the open air in a vacuum, because scum is more likely to hold it to the chest and town is going to assume scum noticed it too (It's pretty blatant if you don't think about why I might have done it in particular).

I also think that A50 particularly breaks that mold, knows me fairly well, and might well think I am the cop and is actively trying to get me to be a less likely nightkill.

[Almost50]

My reads are well defined and have been declared earlier this day phase. ISO me.

As for an alt, I think this main is fine. I'm still "Almost 50" in my home planet.

And speaking of knowing you well; I am inclined to believe this is your way to try and bait the NK unto yourself too. Good try.

Also, if you think I'm scum with N_M; I already put him in my final solve (something I wouldn't do to N_M EVER as a partner, but you don't know that so.. go on)

[Bingle]

I'm still "Almost 50" in my home planet.

[Swizzle Pop]

so i think im willing to townbin bingle and MV. maybe MWNN too, but i havent actually seen the slot post yet so thats purely based on what bingle said. im less confident in shelly. but i dont know how well i can sort shelly tbh.

I wonder if anyone even bothers to try to read into our 8D Chess back and forths anymore.

Come on, tai tai. You know I'm town deep in your heart.

Yeah, I guess this is becoming obsolete. That's why I'm working on a 9D version.

i do like your shitposting. im just slightly concerned that i dont see your solving. i see that your solve us {us, johnny, NM}. i dont see why its any of those three slots though. what made you change your mind on shelly? and how could you scumread US? are you not a patriot? US is always the good guys.

-rolyat sluggish

[Almost50]

Oh, well.. THERE is your mistake!

Fact: North America has its fair share of awesome creatures roaming around, but there’s one group of animals that never took root: monkeys. There are a few wild monkeys in Mexico, but in the US and Canada?

None

.

It thus follows that I am NOT a US citizen, nor do I reside in the good ole US of A.

As for the answer to "why these three?", the answer was also implied in my post which contained that solve. I've been hunting for "associatives". In other words, I listed each and every possible "trio" in the game then started dashing out my options either due to hard TRing someone (I obviously started by omitting any solve that contained that tricky monkey), or due to something I saw that made it unlikely that a given pair were scum together (thus eliminating the possibility of them both being in a scum trio. I know. Not everybody would have reached that conclusion as easily as I did).

So I was left with 4 "individual" suspects, but only 3 of them made sense to be a team.

[Almost50]

You know what? Taylor managed to give me some cold feet about this slot being scum. Now I dunno if Elbirn replaced out because he was pissed at the hydra, pissed at me for putting derp @L-1, or possed at his team for shooting derp when he wanted some other kill.

VOTE: N_M

[Swizzle Pop]

Why does Taylor get all the credit? I feel sad that I'm missing out on these towncred lollipops

-Noraabear

[Swizzle Pop]

In case you haven't noticed, this team is basically Taylor does all the work, Noraa has all the fun

-Noraabear

[Almost50]

Also.. belated response (I simply didn't think of it till right now)

Work is gonna be wild today for Halloween, so I'll be a non entity for about 12 hours (moreso than currently)

I was under the impression she was the one reaching out to me (judging by the signature). No offense was intended.

P.S. Also I don't give out lollipops. I only give out bananas

[Swizzle Pop]

banana lollipops are yummy <.<

-Noraabear

ps I might do some game related content in a while. rn ... eh disc is blowing up and I be busy.

With 11 players alive, it takes 6 players to eliminate someone. Day 2 ends in (expired on 2020-11-03 20:30:00).

[MiniVirgo]

youd rather we vote you than present your reads? i dont understand this at all

-schwifty

Froppy's "just vote me" was a "I can see where you're going with this, just cast the vote".

This feels like it might be playing dumb a bit? Trying to appear as good faith as possible.

Tayl0r is Tayl0r though.

Froppy was acting scummy by saying that, I'll have to have a look at them for tomorrow.

[MiniVirgo]

swizzle pops entrance is rather obviously town

imo, big elephant still scum, I'm on board with the scum!MV bits, they seem to constantly post but they arent really providing a lot of useful content and much of what they're saying is either common sense like policying N_M and also synthesizing shellyc's thoughts on johnny/elbirn.

VOTE: MiniVirgo

Prof's 2 scumreads here are pretty anti-concensus which is town-indicative for most scum.

You missed my earlier question, Prof.

Also, could you explain my shelly's still scum?

Town-indicative for scum? I don't understand

[MiniVirgo]

Nevermind you did so. Please blatantly make it obvious who is posting, because swizzle and senpa means nothing to me.

- JV

Swizzle:

a mixed alcoholic drink, especially a frothy one of rum or gin and bitters.

Senpai:

(Japanese) mentor or teacher. Informally, it could also be used -in English- as a reference to anyone whose attention you want to get—that could be someone you admire and want to be friends with or someone you're interested in romantically.

JV:

(short for) joint venture; a business arrangement in which two or more parties agree to pool their resources for the purpose of accomplishing a specific task. This task can be a new project or any other business activity.

I don't think scum!johnny wouldn't be voting N_M in their scenario.
