The Fifth Fortnight (Game Over!)

[Spiffeh]

For people to think I’m not scum

[Gorkington]

i also have a super secret second scumread who's probably scum with cake, so at least i have that if people decide to pants head.
secrets are so much fun.

[BrightEyedFish]

For people to think I’m not scum

Ok. Who do you suspect is scum atm.

[Spiffeh]

I wonder if our secret scum reads are the same person!!!

[Gorkington]

id like to think im right and ur wrong because that would make me feel smart.

[Gorkington]

Ok. Who do you suspect is scum atm.

he already said cake what more do you want of him!?!?

[BrightEyedFish]

I can imagine Spiffeh & Gork as a scum team.

I'll have to give that more thought.

[Spiffeh]

@BrightEyedFish SirCakez probably. I kinda feel his disappearance from the thread after all this pressure works against him in this case because town!him should know that early wagons are generally for pressure and will probably be temporary. In this setup scum have A LOT more to lose being thrust into the spotlight so early in the way SirCakez has so I imagine his general “this is unfair” attitude is more likely to come from scum.

There’s another reason too but he promised to post today so I want to see that before mentioning it.

[Gorkington]

Gork as a scum

its okay fish not all reads can be winners.

I'm eager to see what that reason is.

I'll probably scum read everyone at least once, so eventually I'll get it right.

[Spiffeh]

It’s not that groundbreaking so don’t get your hopes up lol

[Gorkington]

my reasoning for cake being scum is groundbreaking.

[BrightEyedFish]

Oh, I'm all in.
The game could be decided on this information you will present.

Don't let us down.

[Spiffeh]

WRT Cakez, I feel like the pace of the game threw him off. I think he expected the usual large-game bullshitting around for twenty pages, and was taken aback when he felt like people were calling him out for not scumhunting.

His anger toward bowing out feels genuine to me. I do somewhat lean toward it being town-indicative because frankly, it's not the presumptive HOW DARE YOU of caught scum, but more the "oh fuck this" exasperation.

I just don't think Cakez is scum in this exchange.

kureebs who are you scumreading rn?

[SirCakez]

first off I'm voting Cogito b/c I'm pretty sure scum are hiding in the margins this game and Cogito is pretty much the most in the margins you can get. Just four posts and they're basically getting no attention from anyone except Fish and I. Don't think I explained that before.
Also I decided I'm not responding to the Gork wall because it will just make me angry again and I am pretty sure it will not change anybody's mind about me. Especially not Gork.

[SirCakez]

i have some specific posts I want to respond to that I have to go dig back up

[Spiffeh]

Is there a reason that you picked Cogito at the time over BBmolla or UT? What set him apart?

[SirCakez]

Because I expect this kind of play from those two. That said I haven't ruled them out.
I admittedly don't know Cogito so somebody with meta experience with them could correct me here.

[SirCakez]

mewtaph is also somebody on the watchlist

[Gorkington]

ces is pretty par for the course for this game in terms of my experience with him.
not to say hes town, but that hes someone that is basically impossible to read through play alone early on.
guy is succinct and smart.

can look at the 3rd fortnight for a reference point for a direct reference to his townplay in this setting.

[Spiffeh]

@Cake I guess your characterization of Cogito’s play can apply now but at the time you voted him it was like 9ish hours into the game and I don’t think lack of content at that point is all that egregious.

What are some of your other reads?

[SirCakez]

Gorkington's case is outstanding bus'ing. Both are scum.

I think this is a townslip?

It's funny how you try shut down all this Cakez inquisition, then you drop that you aren't 100% on town Cakez, wouldn't you want to get clear read on him and be done with his slot?

I think this is a town-tell for Ram.

Pls explain

I gotta say I've been enjoying just reading this game more then playing in it haha
I'll jump back in tomorrow morning.

What about the reading has been enjoyable?

Fighting w/Gork was not fun so not having to do more of that was nice. And the personalities in this game are just entertaining to watch.

Actually I have a super secret scum read on someone but I don't think a Lynch on this person is realistic at this time (or maybe ever!) so that's fun I guess

i also have a super secret second scumread who's probably scum with cake, so at least i have that if people decide to pants head.
secrets are so much fun.

Why keep these secret but say you have them? It accomplishes nothing.

I can imagine Spiffeh & Gork as a scum team.

I'll have to give that more thought.

Haha if that's the scum team we're all doomed

@BrightEyedFish SirCakez probably. I kinda feel his disappearance from the thread after all this pressure works against him in this case because town!him should know that early wagons are generally for pressure and will probably be temporary.

I do want to address this.
Gork was posting that his scumread of me was so sure that he literally wouldn't even think of me flipping town. Not just a "pressure wagon".
Also here we are two days later and the wagon has only gone up. sooo
Also I was working all day yesterday so it was more convenient to delay my return until my day off today.

[SirCakez]

Cogito was a good amount more active in Third Fortnight from a quick ISO. 13 posts by where we are now in that game vs 4 here. Also his posts there were a lot more engaged.

I think pretty much all of the active players are town (Errant, xyzzy, shoshin, Gork, you, kuribo, Fish) and I don't think I'd reeval this until a while later. Notable exception to this is Fire who remains an unreadable tossup.
The people from somewhat active to doing nothing (Katsuki, Ram, the four I mentioned already, Marquis) are where I think the scum are lurking. I really need more posts from all of these people still.
