For the Ecto kill - yeah, it doesn't look like one that helps us today. It could either have been PR hunting or just killing a contributing townie, but it doesn't look like his reads were super relevant.In post 1774, boring wrote:I've concluded that Ecto was killed because they thought he was a PR. I don't see any clear line from him to either identified scum or either of you. His sudden standoffishness must have spooked them.
By the way, can anyone explain the connection people were making D1 between my slot's alignment and those of Yuria and IceGuy? Players just seemed to go with it, but I don't see how those kinds of associations could be rational D1.
I know I'm dwelling on D1, but there was so much chaos that day. I think it might hold a lot of information.
What connection do you mean D1? I don't recall linking those alignments, or other people doing so?- Fishythefish

It was started somewhere between Ecto and Trans. But I recall Mutant picking it up too. I'm not sure who else, at the moment. Since I don't recall anyone challenging the rationale of this assumption, I presumed that it made sense to everyone. Since you were around that day too, I was wondering if you understood it.
... but tbh, I don't remember anymore why I thought your answer was important, so no big deal if you don't know.- Fishythefish

Glad to see I got it right
If you are planning to vote for me, I'd really like to hear why first so I can explain anything that needs explaining. I think I've played a pretty damn good game here, and I don't at all know why you think I'm more likely scum than Prohawk.
God, I hate posting at this stage of the game. Makes me feel like scum.- ProHawk

There's the gut feeling that you're coasting in a game full of easy targets. Then there's the intensified feeling when I looked through your meta. You're a lot more assertive as town, and more easy going as scum.
I asked you what the biggest problem has been with town. Maybe we simply disagree, but I think blaming Transcend was simply a convenient answer, and one that you thought I wanted to hear. You could argue that ProHawk has given shitty answers today too, but I've noticed that impulsive town get pretty fuckity at the end.
But there's another thing nagging at me. A few, really.
Sheep and Deas were voting each other pretty much all of Day 1. They didn't seem to be too protective of each other other days (when it switched to UCV) either. If the third scum slot was as unstable as LUV/Viomi/REM/ProHawk, I don't see them taking that risk. I get that "every man for himself" cuts down on associations, but why not bus the crazy slot, then?
I think the scum actions, as they unfolded, makes the most sense when the team is confident that one of their members is going all the way. And, if, by chance, they were waaay more confident in ProHawk's slot than they should have been (no offence), why would ProHawk then risk openly defending Deas?- boring

Many thanks to the mod. I like this setup, and it was impeccably run.
Replying to boring is a good way to give my thoughts on this game and my play in it.
My biggest regret in this game is an enforced period of low activity at the end of November. You started this scumread after that; I think if I'd kept up my day 1 level through day 2, things might have gone differently.In post 1787, boring wrote:There's the gut feeling that you're coasting in a game full of easy targets. Then there's the intensified feeling when I looked through your meta. You're a lot more assertive as town, and more easy going as scum.
However, I think this is meta on me is accurate; it won't read me reliably, but it's much better than random. As town, I sort of have two games:
1) Doing OK - I produce sensible cases, but don't set the game alight, and it's a bit of an effort. My activity and/or motivation are often middling. I'm usually a moderate townread.
2) Owning the game - I feel immersed in the game; I really get the flow of it, push reads hard, and am involved in everything important. I say exactly what I think at all times, and it's obvious I'm doing that. I'm a universal townread.
My scum game is a pretty good emulation of my worse town game; I can't fake my better game.
As it happens, my answer on the problem with the town is entirely honest. I think Transcend made day 1 difficult, lost you a PR night 1, and made himself an obvious lynch day 3; otherwise scum would have really struggled.In post 1787, boring wrote:I asked you what the biggest problem has been with town.

I'm curious to know - what do you think the biggest problem was in the town?
This is a very solid analysis.In post 1787, boring wrote:Sheep and Deas were voting each other pretty much all of Day 1.

I'm pretty annoyed with UCV, who in twilight told the town a string of true things after being lynched, in a way that was pretty blatantly honest and gave out significant information. One of those - that he was confident in winning - was brought up repeatedly in reasons people scumread me. I'm not saying it necessarily affected the outcome, but I don't think that is OK. It feels like it violates the old rules of "play to win" and "don't claim scum with someone".

I had a desperation post lined up, for if you declared intent to vote. I may as well post it:

Incidentally, I thought your day 1 gambit isn't obviously a bad one; it had a high payoff if it went well (although actually the scum wouldn't have shot you, because we guessed the gambit). I generally think those high-risk, high-reward plays are wrong, but it's very hard to know the chances of it working.- Transcend

i honestly just think my playstyle didn't mesh well with this table is all
and i thought one of prohawk's predecessors scumslipped in another game about this one, but i didn't say anything for obvious reasons. - Transcend
