It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

I read a bunch of the books as a kid. I was pretty into them for a while.

I'm not normally one to use PT's heavily but boy howdy if there were ever a time to start, it would be right now.

(I have actually had good neighborhoods before, it's pretty rare, but I have high hopes for this one.)

My goal is to play with more of a proactive scumhunting mindset this game. Even if this hood doesn't help me get better reads, I'm hoping it at least helps keep me engaged.

Not especially, but I feel like people have run out of patience for the way I traditionally play, and to play a different way would require a higher level of engagement than I'm used to.

Anyway if the ratio of people who have posted here to people who have posted in the main thread holds, we should expect 6 more people here.
If the players are evenly distributed between the clans (I would expect at least one that is not in any of the four), we should expect 1 more person here.
If they're distributed according to how much focus the clans receive in the books then this is probably it, though having like a 10-person thunderclan hood might be a little silly? I think I would expect 1 more in this hood or maybe 2.

In post 54, Datisi wrote:which 4? a website told me 6, but one of them was starclan, so /shrug
Thunderclan (the main "good guys" clan), Shadowclan (kinda stereotypical "edgy/bad guys" although it depends on the arc), Windclan and Riverclan (generally just kinda there) are the main ones. Starclan is indeed the great clan in the sky. Skyclan is a former clan that was forced to disband when humans took over their territory. They might have some representatives (though I would doubt more than like 2).

Sample role PM is a Thunderclan cat and doesn't include a hood. Interesting.

We've been assuming every clan got a hood. That's probably true, but if it isn't, we may be able to get something out of keeping it from being public. (Although it's probably not a masonry either way.)

That would make sense with my earlier comment, about how the Thunderclan hood would be massive if flavor were doled out in proportion to plot relevance.

Somewhat less, I think. I haven't read all the arcs though, so I don't know. It would really just be isolated characters from the other clans who happened to have some relevance, in most cases.

Oh, that's interesting. One other thing that implies is that there's only
one
leader from each of the clans in the game, despite the fact that the universe spans enough time for several leaders of each clan to exist over the multiple arcs. This makes me wonder if perhaps all the flavors are constrained to cats that were alive at a particular point in time in the universe.

Also, I'm assuming your flavor as a clan leader means you are 8-shot bulletproof and limproof

Apparently there have been three new arcs released since I read any of these books, so I'm familiar with at best half the lore. So maybe I should stop talking like I know so much.

And a Riverclan one, according to Bell. So probably it's 5/5/5/5/1. (With the 1 possibly being Titus?)

Unfortunately it looks like the PT's are probably going to become outed before too long.

I still want to make use of it, though.

Definitely, if I were in a 21-player game and I knew there were 4 clans and clan hoods, if I knew I was the only non-clan cat I would assume 5/5/5/5/1. But if I didn't know I was the only one, I definitely wouldn't jump to that conclusion.

Plot twist: Titus is actually the last Shadowclan and she's just trolling us

I also think Charloux calling me town feels a bit disingenuous
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

Even if there's no scum in this hood, it's highly likely scum can narrow down the members off knowing the other 3 hoods + Titus. So outing the members isn't a big concern, and outing the sources probably isn't a huge concern either because I doubt everyone will just be inclined to trust your locktown reads without making their own evaluation.

I guess this answers my other question though, which was why you didn't explain your locktown reads in the main thread.

So 4 clans, 5 scum. My current theory is that scum are in 3 clans, and preventing them from knowing who the strays are is the key to this game.
That means no saying who the clan members are and no saying who the leaders are.
How do you know there are multiple strays?
It's a theory based on Titus claim, the number of people in my pt and the details of my role.
3 more people have yet to post, and we can't confirm that everybody who posted is a member of a clan.
Noting this for later. I think it makes them town?

I feel like the logic is significantly more valid if he's caught you 3 times as scum than if he's caught you once, though.

I'm kinda wondering if anyone's gonna say something about it tbh

Though most of the people who know me well are already in this PT where I talked about it in advance.

Pedit: I mean I'm exaggerating/forcing myself to be decisive to some extent but they're not completely made-up.

like, why would you post so little in the main thread that it literally looks like you aren't playing the game, when in fact you are doing analysis and just not letting people see it? what purpose does that serve as scum?

I... I feel like FA often thinks about things a little differently, so I can see her viewing the mech stuff as trivial and saying that there was no good reason for you to change your mind.

She also plays pretty reaction-test-y so she might have preferred to call you out and see how you responded compared to trying to understand it by rereading.

I think it's for sure a little opportunistic, but probably the scumteam would not be saying "let's mislim Datisi on D1", so I'm not sure that I think it's super scummy. I think it's reasonable to poke at it to see how she reacts.

lately tho you've felt more what i would expect (but still giving reads), which also makes me think it isn't like a completely different playstyle, you probably just genuinely had things that you had thoughts and opinions on, which is like a good thing anyway bc now its easier to actually track what you've been thinking
this is interesting because, they were kinda right the first time. it
is
due to pressure to do more in order to get townread, and they just played in a game where I got mislimmed so I feel like they should be able to figure that out?

that makes this ring kinda hollow to me, though on the other hand, they clearly weren't informed of my true motivation. But I doubt that scum would be sharing something like that with each other, there's no need to.

I guess we'll have to see what content he produces, but I'm generally pretty skeptical of "appearing to deliberately avoid giving content" being scummy, because like, scum know they have to give content to not die. So it would just be a strategy of treading water/trying to fly under the radar which doesn't work so well in a game where everyone knows each other.

Idk Kitty's full history but I know he has been limmed as scum on D1 before, and I know he posted almost nothing. (It was actually a plurality lim with 4 out of 13 people voting) so unless he, just, doesn't adapt or try to improve at all, he would presumably know this strategy isn't going to go great. I could maybe check the scum PT for that game to see if he explained why he did that but I think it didn't have daytalk
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

his play this game feels kinda like what my normal townplay was like (e.g. what I was trying not to do this game because it got me mislimmed a lot)

and I don't think I ever tried to make you appear like scum; I only explained the reasons I personally thought you were scummy and I've been around the block enough to know that nobody else is going to give a shit.

my issue is that caring about the outcome, without caring about the process by which others arrived at that outcome, is bad. To me it indicates that you don't care about working with others, or helping them understand your arguments, or reaching a consensus; you only care about killing the people you want dead. Which is fundamentally unsustainable, because if people are using bad logic, eventually that's not going to line up with what you want. (Not to mention, if everyone else's logic for killing X is complete nonsense, that probably increases the chance that X is town and scum are targeting them.)

well, scum know who they need to kill to win already, so even though appearing to do teamwork etc. can further their goal, it's not as fundamental to scum as it is to town.

I mean if you're stating Kitty as your "strongest scumread" that doesn't really imply that you don't think he's readable enough right now.

sure, but if you're voting for pressure wouldn't it make more sense to vote someone you have nothing on? like, for instance, norwee?

...I kinda feel like it can only be one? I mean, you can't very well both kill someone and apply pressure to them. So either you want the day to end in that person dying, or you don't.

actually, I get the impression that a lot of people don't really have a clear idea of what they're actually trying to accomplish when they vote. maybe that's not accurate. It certainly seems like, at the very least, it would be easy to smoothly transition that attitude into "well now there's consensus on Kitty and there's only a few days left in the deadline, let's just kill him" even if he does start to produce better content.

I'm fine with dropping this discussion, though I don't feel that it's making anything worse (there's a reason we continued it in the hood rather than in the main thread).

I'm going to have to read Dann & catboi's arguments against each other more in depth tomorrow but I may well be interested in going over the finer points of them in here. That could be pretty interesting.

I made a big deal of doing several joint ISOs and posting longish analyses. It wasn't a ton but I know I definitely said something to the effect of "I'm gonna try playing different this game"

there was also one scumgame where I did a big reread on and posted a ton of notes in a spoiler. I think it was that micro that I remember nothing about?

I think it's been a pattern for a while that if I'm not mechanically cleared I get mislimmed. But Datisi's Cafe threw it into sharp relief because it seemed like people were pretty fine with me being town and then they just weren't.

I was going to come in here and ask you about it

Because I'm going to be honest, just straight-up reads like satire. You had him as a scumlean, but like, posting a case on him just an hour after he posted one on you without any warning and basically mirroring a lot of his accusations... idk it just made it very hard to believe that you really believed it. It would have probably taken me an hour just to write up something like that so my intuition (which is presumably not right) would have been that you decided to counter-case catboi almost immediately upon seeing that he cased you (and that was your second response, your first being "that's a good scumread" which to me implies that you townread his case or at least are okay with it existing).

I am rambling but that's just because I'm very confused by that post. Can you elaborate a little on how you felt about catboi before and after the case, and why you chose to case him there?

Yeah I mean, I'm not claiming that this is exactly the same. But Dann is correct that going "this game I'm going to change up my playstyle and actually Be Decisive/Do Effort" has been a pretty common scum tactic for me as of late.

Also, I should probably mention that I am going to be out of town visiting a friend from tomorrow till Sunday. I will still find time to post, but it's probably going to be one-liners/potshots rather than more in-depth stuff. That should coincide with the end of D1, N1, and the beginning of D2, so I'm not too worried.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

I agree with this overall, but I will say there was one thing in that post that did resonate with me:

The thread health of our neighborhood isn't a big enough issue, Datisi and S_S weren't even getting heated.
I did get the impression that catboi was overstating the hostility between me and Datisi to some extent. Although I'm open to the argument that I seemed more hostile than I actually was (I am like this irl, I almost never get mad but I often seem mad), I felt like it was pretty civil, and I could see scum-catboi trying to play up his role in defusing it, especially with .

anyway dann to make it right you have to go back to the main thread and post an unprompted town case on catboi with the same level of detail.

in all seriousness though, I appreciate the explanation. It checks out with what I figured, which was that there were some weird and impulsive thoughts going on.

it just seems strange to me how you can impulsively sit down and compose a long and detailed case like that. I'm really not sure how to parse that case in the context of scum strategy-- I feel like it probably isn't theater, and I feel like scum-you would make a judgement call when you get case about whether you want to pocket or fight back, so either you planned this entire thing, or you decided to fight back and then immediately regretted it. I guess that's probably the most likely scenario.

I just need to get better at recognizing which of my reads are good and bad
this is funny, because I'm also trying to play with more conviction, and in my case I'm trying to get better at not caring whether or not I'm right.

I guess the interesting thing here is, what made you realize it was misapplied? was it just catboi's response to your case? (which I should reread btw)

I can't shake the feeling that mastina never lets this happen as scum. But I don't think it's actually true, because I'm sure she's died D1 as scum before, probably in games I've been in, but I feel like this one was
super
avoidable.

In that game she was posting reads that just didn't make a ton of sense. Which I mean. Even if she has a reliable internal logic, that's pretty bog-standard for her.

This game is on another level of not making sense.

I was going to say surely she can't use it after death but then I remembered what the flavor of this game was.

Mastina did you check with the mod about that?

She's claiming more certainty than she usually does, and she actually kinda explained her read on this hood and it doesn't make any sense. These both make her a lot more open to getting scumread, I feel.

Aside from her semi-slip, it feels like the analysis she's doing as of late is pretty organic and aimed at uncovering info rather than pushing an agenda.

It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

It feels like they are, like, trying to constrain discussion to particular assumptions (e.g. that Kitty is town, Norwee's wagon was town) and there doesn't seem to be a lot of dynamicness there. It's hard to explain, but it does not feel exploratory, it feels manipulative.

I hope to talk to Alisae more about Kitty tomorrow.

If you want thoughts on you, I guess the timing of this question is really odd since it's right after I actually posted some thoughts in the thread for the first time in a while?

I'm relieved. It would be really annoying to kill people who were acting unreasonable/outside the norm and have them flip town twice in a row. At least now we have something to work with.

Yes that was right, at least initially. Titus joined Windclan, presumably through a power she had.

Ditto for 241. In particular, TSQ's comments to me after I got hammered really got to me.

And I really have been trying this game, but it's been hard to find motivation with all the replacements.

Welp. A natural consequence of having takes is them being wrong sometimes.

I really can't tell about Norwee slot.

There have been approximately 1000 replacements this game, many on formerly active players. And half of the scum we caught, we caught through guilties. So I have tried to care about the game but it's been very hard.

Also why wasn't I granted the warrior ceremony :(
