[Titus]

GG. Mark guessed right once. Town dodged a bullet and got lucky.

Caught A50 and Jingle is not guessing right once :/

I know I suck usually but I wasn’t terrible

Yes, your tone attitude and total lack of respect were abysmal. They were just like Civ where you never listened. You also didn't catch A50. That's you trying to make yourself looked better. Accuracy does not make up for dividing town. It never will.

[Titus]

I was wrong. I own that. Yet constantly shouting me down over OMG 5 percent possible scumteam and demotivsting people to the point where they couldn't hear me is just bad. It's what you do. It causes people to double down.

Anyway gtg.

[Almost50]

I have a confession to make: This was one of my worst scum games ever.

Congratulations to TOWN.

@Nos: You killed me!

[Nosferatu]

Caught A50

you werent there when A50 was lynched lmfao

[Ankamius]

I have stuff to say when I have more time

But I want to ask why I was having that much trouble rallying people around me. I only ever pull it off when I'm mechanically cleared and I don't understand why

[Titus]

Mark. Him basically ranting me + Jingle turned me away and him making it to where I couldn't have a talk with you meant we could never rally.

[Ankamius]

Punreader

I go into your identity a bit in my private pt

Do you want me to ask mhsmith to blank those references before having it released?

[Ankamius]

Watching this town crush ank's spirit makes me sad...

pretty much this

I was really hoping I'd just be nightkilled on night 3 because the way day 3 played out destroyed me even with the scum lynch

[Creature]

Yey a free win

Part of that was you screaming yourself hoarse against us because one of the trolls called you the c word early.

[Ankamius]

Ok, I think I'll go a bit more into why this game was really frustrating and why I blew up at the end of day 3, partially because I want to know what the hell I did wrong so I can hopefully have a little less failure at it next time I'm in this situation

I did my catch up and while I wasn't confident in my reads for most of it, I was getting increasingly confident that I had a bead on the gamestate and how it was playing out

I stopped my catchup when I hit ETL's analysis of the Porkens wagon. At that point, I was completely certain that she was town and I wanted to abuse that read to try to get us synced together since I thought at the time that I didn't confidently have the scumteam nailed and I wanted her to find the blind spots for me.

I decide that the best way to start is to push an Almost50 wagon using the advice she gave me (rally a wagon against a third target if I don't like the two current wagons)

I thought my Almost50 case was convincing, yet it was mostly people off my townlist that hopped on. I suspected (apparently only in my private PT... oops) that it was a gambit to try to make the wagon look less appealing. It fit Gork's vote.

OTM replaces in, agrees with me on Almost50, and calls me scum for weirdness I still don't understand. Eventually he scumreads me, my locktown, and the cleared Titus alongside the reasonable Jingle scumread. Titus still goes on about the hydra spamming for the first couple days of the game until it dies. I don't understand a single thing tn5421 does... which is honestly pretty standard, I think I'd be afraid if I understood what tn5421 was saying. All are still townreads but idk how the hell to get everyone on the same page

SGBA dies. Absolutely not what I was expecting. Ok, looks like my view of the gamestate is off

I let ETL convince me to vote Punreader despite my heart of hearts wanting a Gork wagon instead.

Eventually I realize that Punreader might be town and immediately realize that the team surfacing when I assume that is the same as their team. Then I realize they don't make sense as scum with close to anybody. welp

Nobody is convinced on eddie when I push it outside of those that already are
eddie and I fight
we compromise on jjhslot
we finally reach a compromise with Mark and his... bizarre reads. yay I managed to get a townread to rally with me, especially one who thinks I might be scum

ETL tries to force through a Punreader lynch. now I realize I can't work with ETL and give up. win condition failed. game over

Titus does the same thing and I cry on the inside a bit

idk why I wrote that all out but basically I went into the game trying to hold town together long enough to be able to swing the game into town's favor and hopefully get people's reads to start syncing up. At this point I feel like I didn't do anything but shout down a bunch of lynches on what I thought were pretty clearly town slots; it honestly felt at times that town was outright trying to lose since I was

that

confident that I had one more scum pegged and the third would be revealed from there :/ The part that really killed me was seeing ETL try to brute force Jingle onto the Punreader wagon and just realizing that I'd completely failed in the win condition I had for over a full day phase, so I said fuck it and decided that I'd just let whatever lynch the town wanted go through even though I was pretty damn sure the Pun lynch would swing the game back against town.

but

tbf

the town really was that dysfunctional though

I was expecting you to die n2 fwiw. Generically obvious kill but in that spot the obvious kill is at least as good as anything else. I think scum have solid odds of pulling it out if you die there even after the a50 lynch.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

i came around ank

[EspeciallyTheLies]

i had a suspicion that if jingle was scum the only reason i didn't die is because i was hard defending him

[Ankamius]

I know, I was pretty certain I was dead the moment A50 flipped scum

At the very least, I'd posted enough about my history with Pun in the thread to make it pretty painfully obvious that the odds of us two syncing up would be really high, especially since I had already shown that I had the influence to push my opinions through

and

that I had a second correct scumread.

That's a very dangerous gamble he did :/

[Ankamius]

i came around ank

you did on day 4 yes

I was wanting it to happen earlier because I was having a bad feeling that town was in a precarious position if it didn't solidify together sooner rather than later; even without the read, you were the best means to that since you were the most widely townread at that time

I think replacing into Penguin's slot was probably detrimental to that

[EspeciallyTheLies]

yeah that didn't help me see very clearly but i had started day 3 with suspicion jingle might not be town. it was just hard to let it go. the more things didn't add up the more it became clear which is why i kind of backed off pun later in the day and agreed to cop jingle.

[Ankamius]

I know, I was pretty certain I was dead the moment A50 flipped scum

At the very least, I'd posted enough about my history with Pun in the thread to make it pretty painfully obvious that the odds of us two syncing up would be really high,

which is dangerous

especially since I had already shown that I had the influence to push my opinions through

and

that I had a second correct scumread

and that it would be hard for him to combat that directly without Pun picking up on the scum intent.

.

That's a very dangerous gamble he did :/
