that's uninspiring but it's not like you're the only one tossing those names around so i can't fault that


i don't even know much i want to get into this, but for a lack of better conversation subjects - why did you believe i "should" have been townreading cakez when i wasn't?

i know, i need to do a bigger reset but i just plain don't have the motivation for it just now
but i do think that leaving all 3 behind will net at least 1 scum (like i don't think i'm *that* off) so i don't feel too bad abt it tbh

r.e. sircakez: most of what he was getting scumread for was basically nai, and i felt like you were fixating on things thta looked bad on like a 'shallow' level but weren't really
like i remember you just basically calling him empty and hollow and making bad observataions but i don't think those things were ai for him in particular and especially not in the context of 'he's busy irl and isn't ~focusing~ too much on the game'
so it kinda looked like u were trying to find things that looked bad on some level
and his response to ur push was townie but you kept pushing it for a while

I'm starting to dislike trying to identify a set order. I think that feeds scum too much info.

And I frankly doubt that everybody will keep their reads as this event progresses. So it feels counterintuitive to completely leave town in highest confidence later. We risk heavy weight town uncrossed - or at least a highly contentious "who is better to cross."

There's also the issue with putting a bunch of lower confidence townreads first. Scum isn't necessarily incentived to kill unless 1 of them crosses early, and low-to-mid PoE on everybody's list will likely contain a scum among a bunch of mislimmable town. This creates a tumultuous PoE rife with WIFOM, and doesn't provide a strong safeguard to town crossing later.

I would suggest we rotate our crossing motives, but I almost feel that that can also be abused.

Everybody is voicing the same 3-4 people that they are ok with uncrossing. So why does nobody agree on who should cross?

I also don't want to hypothesize what rotation of motives we choose until each cross has completed. We just need a consensus when we have to.

i think there's a few consensus scumreads so it's easier to find commonality amongst the people who oughtn't be crossing but the top townreads aren't as consensus so it's harder
and there's differieng strategy on how the crossing should work, etc

i don't think we should focus *too* much on the crossing order tbh because scum is just probably going to kill the first person crossing they think is somewhat threatening, it matters more who doesn't cross

pedit i think scum is always incentivized to kill because why wouldn't they take a kill offered, no?

it was literally 24 hours realtime and i can't really just slam the brakes right away although i did come around eventually


i'm well aware that he's often not nuanced but it seemed at the time that there was little thought behind what he was saying and his game was mostly shading a ton of people which i felt was decently scummy (and, like, a brief refresher on the games i had played against him shows he
is
capable of more advanced thoughts than "thing bad" "thing good"). in hindsight i was probably collapsing context on him by just going through his iso for his attacks on people and not the trajectory

and when you say i was "trying to find things that looked bad", that's...just what scumhunting is? i go through what people say and look for things i find suspicious. if you're trying to say i was forcing a case, well, the problem is that i'm still not sure i necessarily understand what you think i was
missing
there - you can say the stuff i was pushing isn't AI but that doesn't really mean i should have been finding him towny as you seem to have implied

VOTE: Taly

I'm back to wanting this. The objective at it's simplest form to is have town at every turn cross regardless of risk, so I'm starting with myself. ;)

there - you can say the stuff i was pushing isn't AI but that doesn't really mean i should have been finding him towny as you seem to have implied
i'm not talking about just that 24 hour timespan, you started pushing it a while prior (~ the begining of the dunn event iirc? i don't remember exactly)

also maybe i phrased it badly, but 'trying to find things that looked bad' != scumhunting, or at least, that's not what i meant by it. i meant that it looked to me like you were looking at cakez' iso and reading it in the worst possible light, and usign that to push him, when there were other, more charitable, ways to read what he was doing that you chose to ignore
i also remember pointing out that you were pushing cakez for this specifically when there were like 3 other people doing the exact same thing (dwlee, gypyx, toog iirc), so it looked like you were picking and choosing who to push for that

like i said before it basically looked to me like you thought you had found osmething to push, and were just trying to take it as far as you could, when those weren't real/significant/ai reasons to scumread him

and his reaction to the big case you wrote was townie, yeah

Except now you'd be dead and we'd be arguing about whether or not Dunn got framed
I'm town, the only people who don't know that are other town. You have to at least entertain that possibility. Scum Dunn cannot shoot a town player with Bullet 1.
ah, i was thinking on it a while ago and it just came back to my mind - the mindset here seems a bit dissonant? toog says dunn would look bad shooting them right away when they flip town, but if they were scum dunn would just shoot them right away. doesn't really track logically

I don't think scum goes through 3-4 different ideas about how to tackle this event in-thread and all the while discussing it with multiple players. I mean, scum is capable of this, but there's no player-driven agenda that
Ydra
accompanies with this, so there's nothing that directly associates her thought progression in a way that could be scum-motivated.

There's also a moment where she even mentions choosing crosses so quickly that scum cannot respond effectively, and that's a ballsy POV from scum that does not align with
Ydra's
otherwise relaxed demeanor.
