Touhou UCanPick 5 - [Game Over]

[Elbirn]

If you or Eddie can point to the post that gave you a townread I'll give you a cookie, because I don't see it. They've done nothing worth a read in either direction.

Spoiler: The entire ISO

and so it's begun. Tradition mandates i post this:

iirc FakeGod doesn't accept bold generics eg

Vig Lexa

, you'll need to make it a proper spell card to count for realsies.

It's true. in order to use a spell card it has to be formatted like this

Symbol "Dance of the Dead Butterflies - Cherry Blossoms -": Sky_Paladin

ya know, i really like your name. It happens to be my favorite russian folk song.

well don't i feel loved.
then again, i've never been policy lynched. might be a good experience.
sure, people have claimed they were gonna PL me, but it somehow never happened.

ah, man. I gots a vote on me and everything now.

ALL THE PRESSURE!

Very quickly:
Gamma looks like scum.

I don't buy that Katyusha's role is explicitly town. I'd like a flavor claims as well as a claim of any other effects.
A,) I 100% believe that FakeGod might give scum an additional kill, especially if they can't really target it.
B.) The 'if I think they're scummy' caveat bothers me.
C.) It's clearly not a vig or anything like that. It's strictly worse than double day which has questionable utility when we're at odds anyway.

normally, i'm all for flavor claims, but given the setup, knowing flavor tells people when you can start using your 1-shot abilities.
Otherwise, i'd have flavor claimed right now.

Well, sky did play in touhou upick 4 [aborted] and there were enough spellcard being thrown around that he'd know the rules.

oh shit scum did have killing power in that one, hm

i guess i'm not an IC, which is fine, but still. i still think we should use my spellcard asap

almost every death in that game was scum hyper murdering.
I had a lot of fun.

didn't read that, doesn't matter. it's because of the 1 action per phase deal. it limits what's viable.

What? Where is that?

FG's first post. Under "Setup".

I also just learned that going to night phase advances the stage.

I also just learned that going to night phase advances the stage.

how did you not know this yet

i won't claim that i know how to "read" like you fancy "literate" people.
also, i pretty much just joined the game without reading anything.

If scum have extra killing power in this game where no one else can act in a phase I'd be surprised

If only one card can be played per phase, then would that apply to the scumteam too? Scum might not even get to play their cards if town keep playing theirs first.

Yeah, but that means if scum have an extra kill town has nothing it can really do about it if the scum is fast enough. plus there's the balance trickery of scum having the ability to destroy lylo

pretty sure FG has learned his lesson about having games be Timestamp Sensitive.

oh that reminds me

gaiden do you have any thoughts in terms of reads? most of your posts have been about setup stuff so i dont really know where your head is at

no real reads at the moment. I'm actually terrible at reading people though text. Much better when i can actually hear their voice.

@Eddie: don't make lists of people that you're "okay with lynching" and then act like a little piss ant when people draw the conclusion that you must not be townreading them? If you're a shit communicator that's your problem.

[Eddie Cane]

oh boy i'm gonna verbally bitch slap you when i wake up

[Human Sequencer]

i meant the one you were scum with mortfeld and you both replaced out

drealfucker was a serial killer, was disgruntled town who hydra'd with yume who never posted.

i have no memory whatsoever of this game
probably for the best, it doesn't sound like they'd be particularly good memories

[Human Sequencer]

it's fine gamma nobody's perfect <3

what's your take on human right now?

I think she's town

also i am extremely impressed gamma remembers this

[Elbirn]

oh boy i'm gonna verbally bitch slap you when i wake up

Sweet dreams honey ^3^

[Katyusha]

I also just learned that going to night phase advances the stage.

feels like an oddly specific thing to try to derptowntell with as scum, i think it's more likely genuine

scum probably have had some time to discuss the setup and mechanics considering how much it's centered around the game, if he's scum i think he just doesn't mention this while giving setup info since it's not on his mind

nothing conclusive i'd like hard-whiteknight him off of but it's a preliminary townread.

oh that reminds me

I also felt this was a townie response, scum usually posture when asked this or at least fake a read. if he's going the cheeky route he might say he townreads me but i don't really know gaiden so that's not something i'm doubling down on.

like? i'm not going to act like he's my top townread. but i dont feel putting him literally directly above the null line is super crazy and if more people towntell then yeah i'd support a wagon on him. for now i think the other emptier slots are more interesting, as are people who posted more but havent said much

plus im good with his tone and the whole spellcard attempt shenanigans

pedit: sigh........ i like this playerlist i dont want people to get pissed at each other

[Lexa]

Tbf Eddie u are kinda a shit communicator

[Gamma Emerald]

it's fine gamma nobody's perfect <3

what's your take on human right now?

I think she's town

Talk to me about why? I feel like you're usually right when I get into tunnels like this lol (or when im scum pushing them like in House in the Woods)

like do you think the point about me feeling like they kind of just skimmed eddie's iso and make a wrong characterization makes sense?

pedit: would like to see where this one goes

I fel like Human's read on Eddie is rather surface level but I don't sense any underlying malice in it, she just hasn't tuned herself into Eddie's style yet

[Gamma Emerald]

i meant the one you were scum with mortfeld and you both replaced out

drealfucker was a serial killer, was disgruntled town who hydra'd with yume who never posted.

meh, i'll try to be diplomatic and ask eddie to respond to both you and elbirn - i know he probably doesnt want to out of annoyance but it's probably for the best. if you're town i want to work with you and i dont think i'll ever scumread elbirn here

Oh yeah that game where I had the epic fakeclaim and was hydraed with btd6maker

[Katyusha]

it wasnt epic it literally got you mislynched

[Gamma Emerald]

it's fine gamma nobody's perfect <3

what's your take on human right now?

I think she's town

also i am extremely impressed gamma remembers this

Huh?

[Gamma Emerald]

it wasnt epic it literally got you mislynched

No it didn't I won the 1v1 with Vedith

[Katyusha]

What the hell
Fuck I'm triggered now

[Text Generator]

The main issue I have with EC, and at this point it's more of an annoyance than anything, is that his reads don't really mean anything. When I posted that they were easy/spurious, that's 100% true and his responses basically support that. When asked to defend any read, he just says that he's a tone reader and doesn't even gesture to what post or what part of a post strikes him as town/scum. Looking through his pool, it seems like there might be 2 scum in it, which isn't very good considering it's half the player list.

I guess one time he played a game where he successfully called which half of the playerlist the scum was in and decided he was a mafia brain genius?

I've had some time to read the thread since I got out of work and so I guess I'll post the things that pop out at me.

Kiana's absence really bothers me; she was confrontational right out the gate in the game I played with her, and she's just nowhere here. I don't like it because I feel like I could probably sort her and get a better handle on the game state. I'm a little disappointed the BS wagon dissipated because I wanted to see if SP would pretend to be serious about his RVS vote or something when he comes back.

I mostly null read BS, the thing that bothered me the most that he posted was accusing KK of buddying Kat in her first post. I also didn't like the post, but it didn't look like a buddy attempt to me at all. I'd like to know his reads, because I think a lot of what he's posted doesn't really address them.

I like HS's response to the wagon. I don't really like Elbirn's push on EC, though I guess that's a little hypocritical.

DLE, Kat, Purrcocet and iirc Dunnstral all look town to me. I don't really get GE, but the thing that originally pinged me turned out to be a misunderstanding on my part. So I guess that puts me at {BS, KK, SP?, Elbirn} with Lexa and Gaiden as unknowns. Hebi is irl scum for calling me text editor; I do absolutely no editing. I'll try to make a more focused post in the morning.

[Gamma Emerald]

I don't really get GE, but the thing that originally pinged me turned out to be a misunderstanding on my part.

This has no meaning as you never explained your read on me.

[Text Generator]

The town read on SP early on looked so arbitrary I figured it was probably manufactured. I only recently saw the explanation.

[Text Generator]

BS thought the same thing, which is one of the things that makes him not especially scummy in my eyes.

[Human Sequencer]

can we be a little less aggressive with the abbreviations
it gets a little difficult to keep track of posts when everybody is labelled with a two letter handle

I don't really like the meta in text generator's posts tbh
290 feels a little weird in general, like they're out of sync with their own reads
despite the fact that I agree with most of it (apart from the meta aspect)

[hebichan]

VOTE: Lexa

Posting hasn't gotten better.

Also can you elaborate more human, that analysis of TG seems... all over the place?

I also apologize for text editor, I was pretty tired when I wrote that post, I just wanted to have some content this game.

[Human Sequencer]

It's like I agree with the conclusions generally, but the way they word it makes it look like they're looking and deciding their reads from a third person perspective instead of actually genuinely holding them

[DaLetterEl]

Why am I on a wagon with my other scumread

VOTE: unvote

[DaLetterEl]

VOTE: DLE

in yet another display of intelligence from this slot

[DaLetterEl]

VOTE: DLE

Why? While I'm not too impressed with their reasoning to vote me I don't think it's particularly scum motivated, and in fact might be more towny than anything given how he conceded to eddie cane

This reads pure. I do not understand how someone on this site does not understand the concept of padding their post count with tryhard fluffy nonsense being more scum indicative than town indicative but from what other people have posted, apparently people do this nonsense regardless of alignment here.

unfortunate
