Open 903: IC Basic [Game Over]

[Nora.]

why wouldnt we use all the time provided to us?

It gets boring really fast. After some initial posting, there can be some pretty long period of inactivity. Games should run at a little faster pace.

Uhm sorry if this an unfair read or too nitpicky but in your previous post you seemed like you were new to the 7-day phase scene but here you're speaking as if you know what it's like to play in a game like this and what to expect going forward. So I'm thinking if this indicates you've been talking to a wolf buddy maybe who told you a bit about it. Your join date is also recent and you asked what the L word was...so... ^^' @gob what do you think?

[Gypyx]

oh ok that, i misphrased it

You would notice that i corrected myself afterwards

Hm. Why do you think wanting to progress game but not being sure how is a scum trait?

we agree that town rarely wants to fabricate thoughts that they don't actually have right? At most they play up their reads for getting reactions and stuff

if they don't have anything, such as during RVS, they need to fish, which is extremely different from actually expressing a read

and, an easy way for scum to stumble is to try to express reads that don't actually have any substance behind them since "we're in RVS i need to push the game fowards that's what i would do"

Obviously they're aware of it so an easy way to do it is in the shape of jokes / undermine themselves / whatever, but them mindset stays here

oooh this is a really creative read

so ummm, creative wasn't the vibe i was aiming for i gotta admit, and is this an offhanded way of you calling that a shit read or what's the idea here

[Nora.]

No I just didn't consider an angle like that haha. Where I play the D1s are just shooting randomly in the dark so I never thought about looking at different ways of approaching RVS

how about using that vote of yours then?

[Nora.]

I'm convincing myself that Bingle and Leek could be partners based off Bingle's defence of them. What do you think?

[Nora.]

I'm also wary of NAS now ^^'

if this is scum!bingle attempting to defend his partner it's a very shallow defense i gotta say that much, i read it more as him trying to read me by asking questions

also doing associatives at this point of the game is pretty bad, since it all collapses the moment someone flips in an unexpected way

[Gypyx]

I'm also wary of NAS now ^^'

NAS getting SR'd for the sin of being used to a different way of playing the game

[NotAScum]

I'm also wary of NAS now ^^'

I'm also wary of Nora. now ^^'

Creative? Does that mean you think it's made-up?

[Aureal]

Ok, talk to me about leek and Nora? I have one tr and it isn't either of them.

Who is your townread? Is it gob?

Ahahahaha

I had some weird vibes from Nora at first but now I'm leaning town on her

[Aureal]

VOTE: NotAScum

Not convinced

Not really as an aggregate, but certainly with newtown, and the point is taken. I found myself nodding along with the idea of newbtown wanting to push out of RVS, not really knowing how to do so, and coming across as awkward being a thing that makes sense as a basis for a townread.

I can definitely see scum trying to be seen pushing the game out of RVS (Which I think is what you're insinuating) or scum taking refuge in fluff (which Leek insinuated), but I don't think failing to push the game out of RVS is inherently scummy more than just an awkwardness tell.


As far as Leek himself goes, I actually liked 43, but I can agree that 18 and 32 are pretty tryhard. 53 doesn't seem like a scumpost, though. At the very least, I'd be surprised if Will and Leek were S/S.

[Bingle]

I'm also wary of NAS now ^^'

I'm also wary of Nora. now ^^'

I endorse both of these products and/or services.

[Bingle]

i read it more as him trying to read me by asking questions

Oh shit, she's onto me.

[Bingle]

Nah, it’s the sim of posting an amongus meme.

Ok that's fair actually he's trying to revive dastardly forces

For reels, though, the response to the scumread felt weirdly defensive.

[Little Will o' Wisp]

Ok, talk to me about leek and Nora? I have one tr and it isn't either of them.

As I said, these are mostly intuitive reads. Just forcing people into an ordered list based on how I feel about their posts. The only 'real' argument I have for it is Notas's vote on Leek, which I read as opportunistic Mafia jumping on the bandwagon of a suspected Town player.

Also, if you allow me a guess, is your town read Gypyx?

[Little Will o' Wisp]

So... New list: Gob/Me, Leek, Bella, Bingle, Nora, Aureal, Gypyx, NotAS.

[Little Will o' Wisp]

... No, I think Gypyx should be above Aureal: Gob/Me, Leek, Bella, Bingle, Nora, Gypyx, Aureal, NotAS.

[Little Will o' Wisp]

VOTE: NotAScum

Not convinced

This post is giving me anxiety. The same logic that led me to suspect Notas would lead me to suspect Aureal. But the logic can't be right for both of them.

Cognitive dissonance hitting hard.

[gob]

Okay all jokes aside.

VOTE: Aureal

Definitely an awkward entrance. Her push on NotAscum doesn't feel like a towny SRing, more like scum looking for a reason to vote.
I really would like to see more from her.

[Little Will o' Wisp]

Agreed.

VOTE: Aureal

i can see it but i kinda viewed it as NAS feeling entitled to his way of playing the game
