Yeah he would be one I would want to start some serious drinking before talking to. Regardless of his alignment he always gave me a headache.

No. I think that would be a bad feature on MS. Can you imagine as it is the number of people that barely read the game and post made, now just push auto ignore and vote randomly.

In post 70, Auro wrote:Hello! I've heard of a lot of names on this list :D

As a representative of the "young blood" on this site I feel somewhat obliged to catch y'all up to the latest site meta.

Not too long ago, we discovered that Day 1 scum lynches actually lead to more town losses than town lynches! While it's counter-intuitive, it's been speculated that perhaps town cannot carry the same momentum after the first lynch, and it's harder to catch smaller numbers of scum. The obvious trend then was to lynch townsfolk instead... but someone eventually did point out that it's silly to lose a townsfolk just to increase town's chances of a win. There was a clever solution hiding in plain sight though, which would require no town death...

VOTE: No Lynch
I know jigsaw game we lynched scum day 1 and it went downhill from there, but how does a no lynch help give any info?

In post 90, Llamarble wrote:ABR's ISO reads like statement of fact -> alliance a buddy -> highly impersonal accusation. Scum like doing all of these things.
Statements of fact feel safe and impersonal accusations feel safe and scum want to feel safe.
Alliancing / early accusations are common motions; scum usually go through common motions rather than exploring.

Scum have trouble evenly mixing interactions with other scum to interactions with town.
Players chatted up or voted by scum at dawn on the first day are therefore more likely to be scum than anyone else.
This applies to Baltar who also has an awkward are-you-scum-welcome, MT with content-free cutification and Agar who did 'vote -> briefly talk to buddy about nothing -> leave for a while.'
I don't like MT's reaction to being caught either.

Auro showed up with a purely distracting composed statement of 'fact' as well, then stuck to it instead of doing anything useful.
Will review a couple of their other games at some point to see if they are a refuge-type.
I'm taking a lot of these pages as NAI. People look excited to be playing and I know I'm happy to see people I haven't played with in awhile. Also I have seen games where players look to create bonds early but it is scum and town that do it, so I'm not taking much of it seriously.
Adds llama to town list.

I feel like he's forcing himself into the alliance. I also don't like farside and Starbuck pushing the "I'm cute" thing. Auto seems to be trying too hard to play up being new but I'm not sure there's really an advantage to it because it's not the VI card. And Porkens' is likely town for the role PM thing. Hoopla also looks town.

How is ABR forcing into an alliance? He was the first player to suggest an alliance here.

Oh I missed that post. I thought hoopla had suggested it .

Auro's second line of the game was claiming to be a representative of young blood on the site.

Unvote, Vote Starbuck
I'm pretty sure that was a tongue in cheek comment in regards to how old many of the players in the game are. I didn't take it as a newb comment. Why would you think he could get away from doing that when a players date is available to see?

It's not that town wouldn't say this, but it's definitely exactly what scum would say. Vindicating statements of fact are scum's favorite.

So mafia is always going to make that post. Town are going to say something like that too, but it's more likely to branch and have other pieces too than the scum version.
I'm going to say hard no to this. It's pretty NAI, like if a player says nothing they look scummy, if they do they are scummy? On a personal level I feel a player ignoring me tends to come from scum with something to hide.

No, I know abbreviations (I'm actually listed in the official MS one on the Wiki). I'm talking like game specific terms like I know sheeping and pocketing, but wolfing/open wolfing is kinda new to me. I know there's another new term or two that I've seen that I'm not sure of.

My one post about it is pushing? That's a stretch and a weird one at that. In any case, I was just stating a fact.
When you called yourself adorable you don't think that could be taken as wanting to be in the cute alliance? What was the purpose in that post then? Just completely random?

Exactly. It seemed like a weird thing to open with when it was going to be obvious anyway. Like I said, I don't see any advantage to be gained from it so it was probably just an elephant in the room kind of comment.
Gotta say this is very reachy.

I lightly like Kmd just totally missing posts cause i associate not reading the thread carefully more with town
In post 106, Llamarble wrote:I'm at work. I'll do meta when it becomes worth the time.
I have little doubt the cuteness emphasizers tend to do it in other games.
That's why it bothers me that MT is going about their cuteness as if it's a mission, whereas the CLAP cuteness is more 'this is just how this player carries themself.'
This is a first for me trying to buddy all the cute players, if that's what u mean. it's hard because there's so many!

I don't get the connection between: "Morning probably does this in other games" therefore -> "This is why it bothers me that she's going about it like a mission"

why? Usually i dont take it this far but i decided this would be my sort of opening gimmick after ABR asked me what our alliance should be themed and i saw Hoopla say she's cute or something

Pedit: Okay, i see now -- i disagree that it's scummy for me though. I like having fun in RVS and i don't usually try to read too closely into the first bunch of pages. I can tell you that my actual readslists aren't going to factor cuteness levels in.... too heavily.....
Huh, you know at first I was about to disagree and then I realize I'm really bad about reading the whole thread or a whole post from players. I will say that I don't find kmd's follow up really inspiring right now.

The idea is scum feel a need to do something, and being cute is something to do, like a mission. CLAP's version seemed less goal-oriented.

Me too. It's sort of a PoE "one of the players I'll have difficulty reading will probably be scum so I shouldn't have them all as high on the list as I do; Reck fits reasonably well as the scum from those"

I just have a lot of null reads, with a few splashes of town reads so far.
Nothing really strikes me as much as kmd just for weak read on SB

I just thought MT was joking. I never took the any of it seriously. I don't even see MT caring on with that thought process as serious.

is there a specific reason you think that's what's happening here?

pedit: your intutition is off then !
one of the lamentable things about intuition is converting those subconscious rumblings into words. here's an attempt:

opening games tend to fragment into themes - jokers/questionnairers/wagoners etc. alliance crafting/cuteness riffing seemed like the dominant theme on page 1. i expect that scum upon observing the main narrative, tend to play along with it, as its the safest entry into the game. the continued adherence to the established running joke being an exercise in avoidance. a shield, if you will.
I like it too.

Now pounce! Who’s going along to get along?
I'm going to be the hard disagreeing person in this room. I just felt that it was NAI. Till I see something more that gives me insite into Hoolpa I'm not moving just yet.

on a reread, i think auro found a comfortable niche in baiting llamarble into theory-based back-and-forths. during the whole sequence, llamarble was posting reads and appearing to improve his interpretation of the game, while auro was pontificating aimlessly.

another shameful display of avoidance. 25 posts in his ISO and i'm still none-the-wiser as to where he stands on anyone.
So why not push him if your feeling this way? Or push those you don't have reads on?

You were fine with his response. I wanted to understand why when his words don't match his vote so why is it fine to vote GC when he stated suspicion elsewhere?

It's early to partner hunt him, but if I had to, I would expect at least one on-wagon early bus and at least one off-wagon detractor.

On-wagon: Could be VP Baltar. He felt the need to over explain why he was sheeping me. Could denote self consciousness.

Off-wagon: Porkens or Llamarble. Porkens took a direct stab at the wagon based on IIAU's post count. Llamarble indirectly did the same by bringing it up under the guise of helpfully describing the wagon. :wink:
Thats hard to even see.
I have auro/hoopla/iiau so far as scum.


@sb:what are your current scum reads and why?

how can it be that he has posted six full length novels in this thread and i still have no idea why he is voting GC?

This is the one thing I feel. Talk me through a few of your reads with reasons.
Curious more about the sb read.

Which parts of my views are bad? Just the view that "adding momentum to a growing wagon on early D1 is good", or any of my townreads, or anything else?

I was a lurker in Animal U-Pick: I called out at least two scum and voted them, but didn't really attempt to gain wagons on either. Do you disagree with this assessment of my play there?

I'll tell you a secret: a lot of times when people post a lot of words it's because they have nothing to say :o

there's a fine line to walk between explanation and obfuscation. a lot of the previous pages falls into the latter category

tbf, I think UT's invocation of the suspicion is actually suspicious in itself because of how unobtrusive it is.

I just think assumptions aren't a good premise for scumhunting. It may be a playstyle difference. I feel it's more town to ask someone to elaborate than to just put words in their mouth and cause a ruckus when your concerns could be addressed fairly easily if you ask. Accompany those questions with a vote, absolutely, but the lack of questions is more concerning to me than the vote itself.
I could name about 3 or 4 other players doing just that. I don't see it as a reason to scum read a player. Even Iam said his vote was bad, sooooo????

Sigh. One day I will commit to preview post.
I had a lot more to say and just lost focus.

Auro: I recall in the game you were pushing chemist day 1 pretty hard. I recall the vote on votato as well but you had reasons I thought for each of those pushes. Not lol wagon ho.
So of the quotes above where already responding to my thoughts toward SB with llama's post 397

That's not the same thing SB is talking about. SB is talking about blair's push on IAM without asking questions.
I still have no clue why you think GC is scum.

I expect better from Auro. I've seen him be more serious and less...................VI/gooby in the games I reference. Like I've seen waiting more but again this was him within a hydra.
The only scum reference I have is a mini game he replaced in where most of the game he just asked questions and didn't really produce much and spammy one liners. The only plus I can give him here is that he had a town list with content. But as I said I've seen him push on his scum reads more.

This feels disingenuous when I think more about it:

You tried to claim or at least implied that that's a good representative of my play and thus different from here. I pointed out that I lurked and didn't do much (I did have my votes consistently on scum, but lalala hindsight).

Your reaction then was to continue to double down on that argument by then treating that game as somewhat similar to my play here but dismissing it as "him within a hydra".

It feels like instead of actually discerning what could cause a change in my style, you're tunneling on the *didn't achieve expectations* argument anyway.
Well your post is different. The only reference I have playing with you was when you were in a hydra and I would say you were less spammy in the hydra then you are here. I remember Animal Upick was goofy for a bit but that was the majority being goofy. When Double Day happened that went pretty quickly less goofy. So I typically see you going where the game goes instead of like this.

Some of the votes on VP come from players I haven't seen say much in regards to this game and are sheeping along (like Iam and UT). I'm staying the hell away from it.
I will say within regards to UT if he continues the lurking I would vote for him. He only gets a free pass for day 1.

Remember how bad your reads were in all of our recent games.

Listen to me and vote VP Baltar.
You know I'm the worst when it comes to joining a wagon without a really good reason or I scum read the player.
I'll be a sport and check his Iso next though.

Okay so on the ISO of VP I found him to basically just sheep reads and have no follow through with pushing any reads. I don't even know why he voted Auro at this point and he pushed MT and dropped it, which looks for pretty freeking weak reasons.

VOTE: VPB

Completed my iso so I feel better with some reads.
Null to scum:
Agar
UT
Kmd
Auro
Iam
CLP
MT
VPB

you've been on my case most of the game - even listing me in your top 3 scumpicks in . all of a sudden i am no longer on your radar without any reason why your suspicion has subsided. why?

you also made these comments about the VPB wagon and its constituents in post 596:

that was a rather sharp turnabout. can you explain your mindset in further detail given you didn't like the make-up of the wagon to begin with?

also, is your lack of suspicion on me now related to this?

I see you pushing your reads since that post instead of taking a back seat. As for my change I was feeling lost with all the infighting and felt myself glazing through the game. I missed ut longer post about vp. So i stepped back, grabbed my notebook and read things in iso to get a better grasp on player that where not in my town pile already.
Cant say i agree with you view on auro. He's pretty good at blending in as scum and hes also more thoughful in his posting then I see here.
The only person on the wagon i believe is IAM, but reading vbp in iso i found one post were he dropped his read on mt for no apparent reason pretty scummy. Then he weakly votes auro. So i see no sorting from him like ive seen from other.

No. I would think you could actually give even a minor detail about what in your "gut" read pinged for you. I don't like the hand waving when asked a pretty simple question.

Phone posting so this isn't going to be pretty.

Reread vp long post he stated he switched read to follow blair and get a better read.
I dont see from his unvote and attitude towards blair after the sheeping as trying to figure blair out.
Then all vp said about auro was in the 2 quoted post, which is barely a reason to scum read or vote someone. Just looks like voting the next biggest wagon thats not his.

overall, i like your take on your wagon. if you are town, i agree with where you view the potential manipulation has occurred. you also read my vote correctly. you're simply a player i haven't picked up any town tells from yet - this post being the first one i've liked.

Why?
Granted i only read the first part and a few other things he said, but why do you like it?

Sorry i missed this question from MT.
I'll just ask one question-- is it related to the VP/Auro line you mention at the top?
I haven't really seen anything from you that showed scum hunting. You went into the cute mode and then defended the position. I don't see any scum reads or strong thoughts coming from you like I do others.

I took time to give him an opportunity to explain something I was missing there, but clearly my initial twinge was right, hence the vote.
So this piqued my curiosity the most out of your wagon analysis. Can you tease it out more, because Auro jumped on to a VP vote and then seemed to get distracted by farside--rather than it appearing to reflect AI on his VP vote.
Vp comment about auro is pretty hypocritical considering he voted auro while his wagon was building.

I dont see from his unvote and attitude towards blair after the sheeping as trying to figure blair out.
Then all vp said about auro was in the 2 quoted post, which is barely a reason to scum read or vote someone. Just looks like voting the next biggest wagon thats not his.
i don't really agree with this. saying vpb has to do xyz to "try to figure blair out" makes it sound kind of like a homework assignment. i just played vpb and blair in the same game, i think vpb is approaching with a little caution and common sense, he's probably not working out this read with all the steps shown so the teacher can check for mistakes. so to me it looks like town thinking even if it's quiet thinking
VP was the one who said he was doing that in the first place in another game. So if he is doing it here for the same reason what did he gather from his reaction? Did it read like he saw a reaction that looked similar?
Since I'm bad at meta reading players I never played with, tell me why this reads like VP town and what his scum game is like from your prospective.

Nope. Point is ABR is reacting to me calling out his lack of scumhunting, so he moved into a more aggressive position. Really only mattered his vote was wasted at that time, not who it was on.

Explain to me what's going on and I'll give you my opinion on it.
I'm not sure in what world VP thinks he started pushing ABR. I felt ABR started really reading here and imputing from this point and it didn't become a push on VP till his post about the 2 scum being voted on post.

Are you saying that is the only reason you scum read MT? Because the last quote to ABR implies you still find MT scummy but aren't pushing a wagon there.

In post 733, Llamarble wrote:I think Auro is confusing people because he's scum playing pretty well.
He kept his vote movement from being too simple, gave reads and reasons and introspection, showed a bit of cheekiness.
The thing that's missing is the underlying attempt to actually figure out the game or signs of caring about directing the lynch toward scum.
And for his defensive methods, there is too much focus on 'your logic is bad or not presented.'

I linked the games I looked at so I can look at them again later if I need to.

I look forward to Auro's solve post.
This describes perfectly how i feel about auro. I see him asking players about a few people but i don't see anything that looks like an attempt to figure out those he finds scummy.

I was initially town reading you because I remember thinking we had a lot of similar takes and you seemed to be genuinely engaging with people.

Then a bunch of people agreed that the posts I liked were the scummiest posts in the game, and I assumed people knew you better than I did so I second guessed and if I squinted and tilted my head a little I could see what they meant.

Then I decided my heart wasn't really in it and I was probably right the first time. But I could still be wrong, for the same reasons.
Funny enough I don't see auro as town doing this. Hes usually more inquisitive and can be quiet rational. So until I see that player in the game my scum read on him stays. I think his push on me is basically omgus.

Soooo it's kind of whack to compare my play here to that game and say I'm showing no attempt to figure out people who are scummy? But I was also a model town player in that^ game?

You haven't pushed anyone so laziness should not be a factor. Hell an attempt to put together a bunch of quote and calling a player some was the biggest thing you did in Animal Upick and you can barely do that without shit posting.

I not sure if I just noticed this or not but it seems like a few players are just shrugging their shoulders on who to scum read.
I mean if all else get some null reads out of the way to weed players out. If I'm wrong just ignore me.

I'm learning more and more that is NAI. I hate to say that because I found it useful once upon a time but these days it really depends on the player. Like Mastina for sure would be scummy doing that in my eyes. But I do expect some better post to come from pork if he is town. He can be a wide range of different things. I've seen him chill and relax to goofy and spammy and both times that was him as town.
But if he is town he's got good instinct so I will see what he does or says before I judge him.

In post 845, Albert B. Rampage wrote:It's easy to be reasonable. You don't have people like AGar up your ass. You appease everyone. People feel bad voting you out.

What I'm interested in, is what do you believe that no one else believes? If you stand alone, what do you stand for?

If I'm scum, the way I would look at this game is who do I have to lynch and NK to achieve my win condition?

Hard to lynch: Albert B. Rampage, Untrod Tripod, farside22, Llamarble, Hoopla, Reck, Morning Tweet, Auro, VP Baltar
Would have difficulty climbing out of pressure: Blair, Green Crayons, Porkens
Would self-destruct under pressure: iamausername, Kmd4390, Starbuck, AGar, CantLynchAPuppy

I can't be lynched day 1 if I'm invested, I'm too strong and aggressive; Reck has a similar playstyle. I look around, and there's other really tough lynches for scum.

MT, Farside, and Blair tend to obvtown over time and easily become unlynchable.

Scum basically have 3 strategies they can use:

1) Going for low hanging fruit. Short term gain, safe option.
2) Go for the middle-of-the-road players to keep the easy mislynches for deeper into the game when they really need it.
3) If they feel extremely confident in their position, they can tunnel on the hard to lynch players while town runs up townies, stay out of the action, and only join the mislynch deep into the game if they have to save a buddy or can take out a threat to them.

I will now explain my counter-strategies. I think that going for an easy mislynch today is a waste. This lines me up in parallel with scum's 2nd and 3rd strategies.

I need the usual ingredients to best cook for you my game-winning solve: pressure, vote consolidation, and danger of reaching an early lynch.

If we run up a few hard to lynch players and gain precious information, we can draw out enough connections to set us up for successful subsequent days.
I should be put under self destruct. I've been pretty messy IRL so things said in game get me worked up lately.


@MT: I have you on my scum list due to your lack of reads. You just kind of look to be having general conversation without really looking for scum. You remind me more of scum trying to just buddy players without adding anything to the game that makes me go there is someone I can call town.

Looking at who someone's willing to vote/wagon is sufficient. You don't want a town where everyone has their own pet scumread and is in full committed mode; work together.

farside is about as committed a scumread I'll get.

Also, engagement >> analysis at the beginning stages. Question first to get a better grasp of intentions, then use that to refine your read on actions.

(Looooookol @ the idea of lecturing this p-list on mafia play)
Your weak is fucking weak as hell. Did you go out of your way to just call one post scummy? Out of everything else said in this game you latch onto one fucking post while you do it shit post this whole game, where as I can link to Animal and DD and yes I realize you were in a hydra but there was a lot more thoughts in both fucking games compared to this. You are holding onto something that is minor and making it something more then it is.

So I read through the day start. Didn't read what happened towards the end of the day yet. I started back to work so I'm a lot more busy now.
A few thoughts on SB's claim. I liked what Hoopla had to say but I think when you see ABR was killed last night that makes no sense for scum SB to do since he had a strong tr on her. Also I don't see anything scummy with SB.
I don't think everyone does soft tells when they have info but it would have been nice to see SB at least question players more with that info. I look at this as 1v1 since SB scum makes no sense to me given the NK and my read of her.

VOTE: Porkens
In post 1353, Hoopla wrote:if i was capable of feeling emotions, that would be a sensational appeal to them. bravo, porkchop!

now lets hear farside's life story before we decide today's lynch.
My story is really depressing. My story is more starting from a person who was bored, grew to a tyrannical bitch and ended up with a emotional mess. I don't think people would like my story very much.

Clap: why did you feel the need to question sb comments further? What did she say that changed your views?

Pork: I didn't say ghosted just going to be less active. There is a big difference.

Reck: my take on vp vs auro was trying to sort through both of them in different ways. In the end auro reason for scum reading me was a big pile of bs that he was latching onto.

Just an fyi i had some info too, which was why I believed star. My info helps scum more then town tbf.

why blair? if blair was scum she could have done a lot more to push vpb instead of passively sitting by, do you think blair is the kind of person who would let a scummate die by passively sitting by? i kinda want to meet this alternate reality blair, she sounds nice :P
'passively sitting by' accurately describes Blair's behaviour right up until the point ABR shifted momentum from VPB to Auro, at which point Blair was suddenly very eager to push an ABR wagon.

i'm saying she was happy to let a
town
player (VPB) die by passively sitting by, where i think a town Blair who didn't think VPB or Auro were scum would have done a lot more to push, like, any alternative well before that point.

anyway, all of this is immaterial right now because we're either lynching Porkens or farside today.

VOTE: farside

is the one that stuck out the most to me in iso reads. it's like "hey buddy, here's what you need to do so i have an excuse to get off your wagon". her iso in general gives the impression that she really wants to vote for Auro but really doesn't want Auro to actually be lynched.
while Porkens iso, in general, gives the impression that he doesn't know what the fuck to think.

and i know which one i can relate to more as a town mindset.

This is what makes no sense about Clap at all. It serves as a waste of resources, unless clap wants to explain why she thinks thats necessary with a good reason.

So the info you have makes starbuck look town. Hmm. What % confidence would you place in that?
My info is not like hers. It does say vt and in the pm it says i know x info in the game.

would revealing this information make it more likely we believe you to be town?

or are you planning on taking it to the grave?
Yes I will. I'm not good with helping scum.

Is this info helpful at all to town or just to scum?
I think it helps scum. It's role info is all I will say and that is all you will get from me.

In the event that I am lynched first, when I flip town, how would you suggest the town proceed?




At rec:
P.edit rec, you are not addressing the substance of either issue and just say “wifom” and “self meta.”

In your view I fought against the leading wagon, trying to get ABR lynched, which was an impossibility, and quickhammered because I was counting on the wifom to look town. Wouldnt it have looked more town to just keep my fucking mouth shut when I was townread?

As for self meta, can you say with a straight face that you read it with any attention? I explained in detail my thought process and my emotional state. That is not self meta. I talked about my meta but I was not saying at any point “this is what I always do let me get away with it”. I y’all you step by step through why I did what I did. Read it carefully and tell me you think I could make that up.
I'd ask the mod if she was joking. I would vote SB or wonder if the mod said if this game was bastard.

mod: Are there any bastard elements to this game


I think a PR worth there salt would check me or SB.

This is inconsistent with later posting? If you've got this 50/50 that you felt necessary to bring today (I'm fine with D2 vs. D1), why are you prodding outside of it? 1-for-1 is always a transaction that benefits town, so it feels like you should be dead-set on Porkens or Farside. Also, 1306 is an awkward presentation of the information? Idk, it's all just weird to me. I think there's no way this play comes from scum but I also just, y'know, have questions.
In post 1299, Porkens wrote:Do you think I would lynch my tracker?
Scum tracker ain't all that powerful? It's a strictly worse rolecop or vanilla cop within the context.

Agree with . Disagree with .

Porkens' posting today just makes me more comfortable with farside.

My re-read gave me the same feeling.

Yeah this is a town post.

lol @ the last line of




Re-read really set off pings for farside anyway. 's second half felt very song-and-dance consternation about the no-lynch and felt like an awkward attempt to look like she was engaging/pushing Auro, and a lot of interactions throughout the day between her and Auro felt like a weird dance between trying to decide whether to distance, bus, or buddy - like they couldn't decide how to run with it. 's question about Auro playing up being new, & Auro's "Farside please engage with me again," the banter in , , , and . The vote in feels like she's finally figured out she wants to try and bus Auro, and Auro actually fights back a bit. Auro only pushed back on a few players trying to lynch him, didn't really engage entirely with the wagon and it felt selective as fuck. is the kind of meek reasoning you give to stay on the bus wagon without pushing it forward, but is admitting it doesn't have traction and now Auro is closer to null than scum, even though so so many words were spilled back and forth with Auro and softly accusing him of not playing good. farside's accusations on VPB are much more... committed. They're weak, but she's much more enthused about trying to get him lynched than she ever was on Auro. She puts a few weak agreements with less-than-town reads on Auro from llama and Blair in the 790s, but nothing concrete and doesn't budge off of the VPB wagon (which at this point felt like it was inevitably going to get at least to a claim, if not a lynch, fmpov). Auro keeps the weak scumread on Farside up when pressed, but again - never really commits to this. , farside realizes that Auro wagon might be back on so why not try and get that sweet sweet towncred from a bus? They've both said they suspect each other, so it's gravy! And nary a word is said of Auro again, nor a post for the rest of the day. Coast on the wagon, don't try and say anything that could cause a slip, and cash in, amirite?

VOTE: farside
That's a lot of wifom you got there. You know I basically had Auro on ignore for his hyperactivity till he blatantly made shit up, right?
I don't always read everything spammy player says because sometimes it's nonsense. I ignored Hotec once for being like that and he turned out to be scum. So I kept a light eye on Auro due to my suspicion of him but didn't want to get involved in a spam war since I didn't have a lot of time for it.

@farside - What do you think about VPB/Auro wagons and the people on them? Do you think most of the scum were on one in particular, or evenly peppered through both, or disproportionally off both wagons? You hopped back and forth between them a little bit early on but stuck with Auro pretty consistently once the wagons seemed serious, and your thoughts on what you think was bad/good about people's votes on them having seen it in real-time as opposed to me reading back on it after the fact would be appreciated.
I thought the wagon was still barely serious when I voted him. People were still more about VP if I recall correctly.
I thought MT was pretty scummy overall as well as Clap, nothing has changed in regards to that. SB and GC were and still are pretty strong town reads on the Auro wagon. My strongest TR off the wagon was Llama.

half of his half, your scum and I’m keeping my knife
that starbuck is trying to run the table on us. So I’ve been trying to think what if I win the tug of war and farside flips town?

Have you had any similar thoughts? Have you come up with any solution?
It's hard to imagine. I don't know if SB is the type to try to find a way to lynch 2 town players without some info that says she would be safe from anything else. Like when I flip town, there could be an investigative role that checks her. Which I would suggest.
In post 1473, Green Crayons wrote:Farside’s claim that her*
Just role related info.

I claimed as much as I'm going to. Lynch Pork tomorrow when I flip town. I'd say go after Agar too with trying to tie 2 players together with a lot of wifom post.
MT and Clap for sure.
