Open 738: Purgatory | LA FIN

[Keyser Söze]

Those pictures

[LabRat01]

What’s your take on Soze so far? Is the ‘I thought it was just two goons’ and then the break down of DrJ/Rat following that line of thought something you think they’d do/are capable of as scum?

You know, sth like that could prob be faked by a 5-year old.
Possibly younger

It kinda feels like you didn't want to appear useless so decided to write

anything

that might appear helpful without actually considering if it makes sense to ask about that.
Do not do it like that. If you want to do sth, you can comment on the stuff:
-I wrote about duck,
-keyser wrote about me&DrJ,
-DrJ wrote about me/keiser
-or w/e.
Just pick a wagon and go with it, there’s no need to be wary here

[LabRat01]

@Manatee

, could you include the countdown in the VCs?
Please

And you should prob change D1 to Hell Phase 1. It’s not important rn, but it might be easier for those replacing in and reading the game after it ends if you make it clear.

[LabRat01]

do it

WIFOM says you're not scum partners:
If not,

as partners

, it would seem you've made too much of a conscious effort to try to distance eachother (through anti-distance...?)

Playful RVS vote eachother...
You going all about how you dug up their first scum game and read ten whole pages of it as part of meta research...
Creating an awkward dis-connection between you two, which I conclude is: 2xVT or 1 goon-1 VT interactions.

You'll notice it's primarily one sided - I would see it more as him trying to pocket us (I'm assuming that word means scum buddying town - or have I been using that word wrong? :lol:)

Lcp

Do you think I was pocketing you?

I don't agree that much with this. Imo people should be held accountable for their words even in RVS. Esp. in later days it can show a lot in hindsight.

For reference I usually get on twice or three times a day then disappear between that so please don't think I'm lurking - that's my usual pattern :P

Korina should hopefully be here soon.

that’s already a rather high activity as for this site
/shrug

[Keyser Söze]

Don’t think I’ve ever played with a rat.


(FTR: it’s usually me brown-nosing Irrellephant)

P.s consensual might I add

[LabRat01]

Godammit! Still haven't rolled scum with

the worst

(there were even improved odds too: 3 from 9!)

were you planning to say this since before the game started?

I’m still waiting for an answer to that one
(not talking about the increased odds, but about rolling scum with duck)
Wanted to ask why are you avoiding my question, but you did actually respond but in another way, so /shrug...

[LabRat01]

I don't think we've ever played together, I did play with some other players in here though
not sure if enough to be confident in meta-reading them though :/

[Keyser Söze]

I half answered it/revised post because of *ongoing game*...

But yeah, I went into this game thinking... ‘if I’m scum, I hope it’s with the worst!’

(I prefer scum hunting though, as VT my ideal role)

hey, what do you think of TW rn? can you comment on the posts I wrote?

[Keyser Söze]

Are you sensing Lefty-TheWorst associations?

[LabRat01]

I'm not really reading it as "associations". Idk if anything would change if it was SvS/TvS/TvT
just individual reads


but I was talking about that conversation, do you have any thoughts on it?

[Keyser Söze]

Me and TW are in love with eachother right now, but his introduction was maybe 15% buddy-esque towards me (from his point of you I bet he thinks I was trying to buddy him too! (Maybe at 5% output though). But at least I’ve looked at other players! I don’t think his priority should be to sort me first, that was a surprising post from him.

P.EDIT will look at conversation now

actually, agree with that. Besides the short read on Lefty, he hasn't done anything other than interact with you

how do you read Key's entrance to the thread btw? I wanna try and sort him as quickly as possible so I can comfortably resume quoting The Usual Suspects and burninating scum.

Was the “I wanna try to sort Key as quick as possible” supposed to be an excuse for asking Left to post reads?

No?
but it def feels that way
OR it feels like your question to Lefty was just an excuse to show off your great town motivations.
Which one do you pick?

I don’t like the previous post either (the one I joked about). It’s prob not directly scum motivated, but it feels a really safe and non-personal way of questioning someone.

and btw, that was the read I wanted you to comment on

Yes, these are good throughts Rat. Including your breakdown of Lefty’s post.

So far you are emitting the clearest townie-game-solving thoughts so far.

All dogs go to heaven...

But what about rats?

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

wanna check it for me?

Nah, it's not there.

VOTE: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

aww, that's a shame VOTE: carmen
I'm p sure some form of it should be there though, cuz the bracket thingy is written in my RC
wanna check it again? or are you lying in order for someone to notice this "contradiction" and derp you as town?

I'm personally not really sure what to make of this post. I get it if its a joke, however, it feels awkward. It feels like the joke fell flat after he continued it on, and said that his vote was semi-serious, (which, why was it semi-serious?). That doesn't really sit well with me atm. Its reading to me like he's certain that Carmen is actually scum and trying to do that to get cleared as town, which, would imply that Carmen is scum as well.

I read Carmen's post as a joke, (which, admittedly, I'd have done too), and their post is fine. It's actually alright. It doesn't bother me. Lab's post does actually bother me however. I can see him thinking Carmen's post isn't a joke, (when I'm pretty sure it is one—unless Carmen is a god-tier scum-player and can get away with that), however, his reaction to the joke feels wrong.

oh so we're pretending derp clears have actual merit or

?

I don’t think anyone should read any of pg 1 as anything but tongue in cheek shitposting

So what do you make of Carmen v Lab then? Is it just shitposting?
I also don't think derp clears have actual merit, it's rather easy to fake imo.

Godammit! Still haven't rolled scum with

the worst

(there were even improved odds too: 3 from 9!)

Why are you putting emphasis on TW?

SCUM! For trying to discredit a semi-valid reason to t/read someone this early.

VOTE: Lefty

What's the semi-valid reasoning here? I'm not really seeing it.

Currently reading Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde's and LabRat01's posts to/in relation with eachother... I will give a supported estimation whether they are scum partners in the next half hour.

@Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - is there a way of abbreviating your name brother? It's quite a mouthful.

do it

btw, DrJ is a hydra of korina and LCpl Jones (or sth like that) so unless the "brother" you're talking about is fat enough to count as 2, you should prob be using plurals

It's whatever.

Godammit! Still haven't rolled scum with

the worst

(there were even improved odds too: 3 from 9!)

btw, were you planning to say this since before the game started?

I recall someone saying that they want their alignments to be the same as in the watchers game, were you scum there?

For some reason I thought it was a 7:2 setup... learnt from the OP that there are in fact three mafia! "majority of scum" makes sense now though: we only need to send two mafia to hell to win (?).
the worst is a great character to play with as town or scum -

I think we would have just as much fun together as town or scum

.
In the Watchmen game we were both town.

yep

do you think you'll be able to read him?

This seems like an odd question to ask?

do it

WIFOM says you're not scum partners:
If not,

as partners

uh, that was connected to the game, but it was pre game
I prob wouldn't have had enough time to read 10 pages of another game after getting the RC even if I tried it

Why not?

Hi o/

D1 is hell, right?
VOTE: labrat

He probably only noticed it because he got it in his rolecard
Lcp aka mr hyde

HEY LCP<33

HEY TW<33

also "not sure how serious" comment is wolf pinging

pedit: ooooff rip
yeah the iso functions and advanced post editing kills me on mobile</3 I live on the run, you'll get used to MS mobile posting like I did I hope!

where do you usually play?

How so? I'm not really getting scum-vibes from it.
I'm seeing it as "I'm not really sure if I should be reading you as if you're shitposting or as if you're seriously playing."
#28 I can see as a serious post, then #29 I just see as non-serious, so I can see where Lefty's confusion on how to read them is coming from.

Keyser my love if you had to dayvig someone based off rvs who would it be and why?

Let me turn this around onto you: Who would

you

dayvig and why?

how do you read Key's entrance to the thread btw? I wanna try and sort him as quickly as possible so I can comfortably resume quoting The Usual Suspects and burninating scum.

I'm not sure, I will look at it when my laptop isn't dying.

Laptop is dying, will post more later.

Oh, guess that means I should be going to heaven. I'm a doggo, I'm a good boye.
I guess that means LCpl can't, unless we agree that he can.

Also, unrelated, but, that movie was my childhood, (and probably why I'm a furry). I need to rewatch that movie sometime soon. I haven't seen it in years.

[Keyser Söze]

@Kor - I put TW’s/ducky’s name in italics as sometimes it’s hard to pick out his name in a lower case sentence and as we’re at introductions stage (no capital letters) I thought it best to highlight it.

RE: semi-valid: sometimes scum want to stop townies from forming soft t/reads so easily this early. It’s just what I felt at the time... I personally thought derpclears/town-slips were a good stepping stone out of RVS.

[Keyser Söze]

@kor - are you calling Rat a fake/weird/odd wrong’n?

RE: semi-valid: sometimes scum want to stop townies from forming soft t/reads so easily this early. It’s just what I felt at the time... I personally thought derpclears/town-slips were a good stepping stone out of RVS.

I agree that they are good to help get out of rvs, however, I don't really see it as the basis for a semi-serious(?) vote. Derp-clears are easy to fake, and shouldn't be used as the basis for a TR IMO.
Additionally, you don't think Lab's sheer number of posts isn't good enough to get out of RVS?

@kor - are you calling Rat a fake/weird/odd wrong’n?

Yea, I'm looking at his posts and thinking they're weird.
I'm town-soulreading his activity, however, I'm scum-reading his content.

-Kor

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

Also, where the hell is Creature? I just realized that he's in the game trying to see who we haven't heard from.
If Creature keeps up this activity, I think its very safe to assume that he is scum.

That was a bullshit read based on my imagination of how a mafia’s reaction to getting a town alignment would look like. Carmen’s post was a joke, but it was written in a safe way, that could come from mafia who wanted to joke about it, but was too stressed to open-wolf right at the beginning of the game.
(by lying and saying that “there was nothing in their RC”, they could give themselves a bit more leeway than if they wrote “lol, it’s really there”)
I could explain it better, but I think manatee wouldn’t really like it
But yes, it is connected to how I see my role card and what I know about the host
This was never meant to be a joke, but after writing the post I realized that it could be misunderstood in a really wrong way. There isn’t anything more to it
