Costello enters stage left, catboi is standing at stage right.
Costello is eyeing catboi from a distance. He strikes a match, then lifts it to the end of his cigarette, inhaling quickly to bring the fire to life.
“Would ya look at THAT. Who is HE? Those EARS, that TAIL, his FUR?”
Cue musical number, starting with the marimba.
“There’s a fire within my soooooul! Just one look and I can hear a bell ring! One more look and I forget everything! Whoa-oah! Mamma mi-“
CUT, CUT CUT CUT
SHIT SHIT SHIT WRONG ALBUM SHIT GOD FUCKING DAMN IT
Costello runs backstage and the sound of him fiddling with the cassettes fills the air, before finally he scrambles back into view. He shakes ash off the cigarette, adjusts his tie, and prepares to play it cool.
“Opportunity! Opportunity! This is your big opportunity!”
He smiles nervously, and begins to walk.
VOTE: catboi-

I didn't like their fakehammer, nor the "I should have unvoted" theater in the wake of it, and considered instantly shooting them for it.In post 99, catboi wrote:

I'm going to fear selfhammer Day 1 and then proceed to spend the next 48 hours carefully deciding the most strategic shot. Are you sure about that?-

Struggling to get a handle on more of the table, was sad that the reaction was to just bail on the thread en masse after the initial activity flurry, but again I get what I pay for.
So this as a reason to be wary of catboi is pretty weird. Thinking about how scum would handle it is very natural from a town hunting POV. Scum knows it's town and works that direction.In post 86, Farkran wrote:I mean to say that catboi didn't deduce that costello would be town for his play, he just thought about how scum would handle it. Still an early analysis, but i'd rather have it out there than just in my mind.
still would shoot madeline if it were right now but might as well be playing roulette rn-

I think it should be very obvious by now that I'm not a new player who panic selfhammers page 1 as scum, let alone tackle seriously playing the game the next 48 hours.-

I found it very strange how blasé and utterly unconcerned the opening was, especially in light of madeline's post which highlighted that if I choose wrong we're losing immediately losing all of our miseliminations. This is especially true if Gamma thinks I'm limited to the wagon (Which, funfact, I am not)In post 154, Hectic wrote:I find Gamma scummy too, not because of low amount of posts, but because of what he chose to say in those posts. Would expect he'd have more he'd want to say after that start.
Farkran is...actually pretty good? I think? He was backwards on catboi/doesn't get my point but that's okay, not at all scummy imo.-

Interesting, I didn't like the confusion around the hammer from Fakran but even that seemed very null to me.
In contrast I thought his interactions with Hectic (esp. the post about Madeline being the closest friend) and read on catboi had plenty of life to them.
Speaking of Madeline, it would be nice to hear from her as well-

So I realize this isn't a direct quote, but the town-indicative action I think you're describing comes from honesty mixed with a bit of frustration about doing his best, as opposed to trying to puzzle out specifically what he needs to do to turn it around.In post 247, madeline wrote:response something along the lines of
'what do you want from me'
when catboi said it was painful
seemed goodguy indicative
I think the real quote has the opposite behavior, though, of immediately going more on the defensive side.In post 197, Gamma Emerald wrote:Wdym
I wanted to get something started but had other things to do as well, so I just posted enough to get the ball rolling
I know the interpretation I'm making of your point is really tenuous, so sorry if it's off at all.-

I'm still not ~jazzed~ about madeline in the sense that thinking I'm an asshole isn't AI imo, but I generally agree with this.In post 264, Hectic wrote:I don't want to shoot any of [Farkran, Ydrasse, Madeline, catboi] right now. I feel the least confident about catboi of those
Town to scum right now I'd go Farkran, catboi, Hectic, Flea, Ydrasse, madeline, bugspray, Gamma.-

The bigger issue is actually as town, but as I said file all mechanical complaints and criticisms to isis@mafiascum.net, tagline URGENT:In post 266, Hectic wrote:That sounds even more busted than vengeful honestly if in the hands of scum. Can literally just make it to lylo, act like a jester, and then redirect the launch to town. Must be some conditions he's not telling us about
If scum were to blitz me in an Elo situation, instead of winning they instantly lose the game. Vengeful/supersaint have the same issue and should be in a game exactly never but at least at least their scum autolosses only happens in 3 way.-

cat FWIW I appreciate you doing your best to help me out by driving content, even if you are doing it just in the hopes that I don't shoot you.
He's a battered old bird
And he's living up there
There's a place where time stands still
You're definitely a battered old bird who's had to put up with my shit all day, and the game has definitely stood still at times, so I appreciate you not just tearing into me for being a moron all day.-

I found it really ?_? and the fact that he was apparently both checking the thread and reading that game simultaneously, but couldn't immediately link it, concerned me quite a bit.In post 293, Hectic wrote:This sequence is wild lol
The way Gamma continues to scumread Farkran via meta even after realising his alignment was the opposite of what he assumed is funny. I think scum are more likely to reconsider and do a simple "oh, he was actually scum in that game. this means the difference indicates town" rather than find another reason to find the difference scummy-
