OPEN 732 : PICK YOUR POWER X/Y (GAME OVER)

[ruru]

@drixx, when you are IC you should be a bit more active day 1 to sort of set the model of how to play. I get how you were pr and not trying to draw to much towards you, but in a teaching role, being active and talking more helps the newer players to be more active.

Some things never change I see

[OkaPoka]

Does scum put this much effort?

[OkaPoka]

answer is no, ruru ur town help me lynch invis now

[OkaPoka]

please

[ruru]

Why's invis a better lynch than enigma

[OkaPoka]

because engima's reason for scumhunting seem to be town aligned, albeit disagreable. i can see the town motivation of trying to bring statistics into the game and trying to scumhunt using theory.

invis might as well post fluff as his reason to lynch ppl

[ruru]

I don't think that's AI for invis and like my actual reason for putting invis in my lynchpool is at least 50% tone lol

[Skygazer]

his statistics based scumhunting makes v little sense tho and resulted in an opportunistic vote on a wagon and even tho he's making an effort to look like he's scumhunting since then he hasn't taken his vote off the wagon

[Skygazer]

that was @oka regarding enigma

most ppl dont make sense on this website

i guess you see it as opportunistic, i dont really but eh

[BuJaber]

To be honest I find that usually scum will be among the people who switched votes.

You see a wagon forming you want to jump on it early then if it loses steam you want to jump off and avoid suspicion.

Or they don't join an early wagon on town because they know it's on town and the wagon may not stick.

So imo if we want to lynch someone based on the wagon on me we should look at the people who voted then unvoted, OR the people who townread me in the first few pages.

[BuJaber]

Voted & unvoted: ofrhz, ausuka, vulcan, skygazer

Townread me early: CJ, brass (if you count "got the right idea the wrong way" might be reading too much into it but that reads like a soft TR)

[brassherald]

It isn't

[Skygazer]

sick burn, brass

[brassherald]

Not meant as a burn, just trying to clarify whether I TR someone I never said I TR.

Scum can also end up in the right place going the wrong way.

[Skygazer]

kidding kidding

BuJaber out of those (now 5) people in your list in 311 do you see any other scum motivations from any of them? Not really buying anybody listed as scum other than maybe possibly vulcan but that's not because he unvoted you

[Skygazer]

(not much to go off of but the CJ and orfhz reads are very noncontroversial reads imo, feels kind of safe. also the way he peppers paranoia into his CJ read feels off)

[brassherald]

I don't like the Enigma wagon, Enigma's ISO has some good questions, and good thoughts. That's a town ISO as far as I can tell.

Vulcan Logician promised more content in 240 and never followed up, I'd like to know why. I know the dude only has 3 posts, but they include him claiming he's a fairly active player. I will allow him more posts before making an actual read, but it makes me uneasy.

Invisibility is scum.

BuJaber, I'm leaning scum on.

I'll find the last scum tomorrow or something, going to the beach now.

[brassherald]

Or maybe that's the scum team, who knows?

[ceejayvinoya]

Idk what to do with invis. I'll just call him null. Oh well. Back here I guess

VOTE: Enigma

Pedit naa naa naaa i dont hear youuu

[ceejayvinoya]

Yeah I've played with vulcan before. He's an active player. Maybe he's just busy

[ceejayvinoya]

My tr on BuJaber still sticks; I like his answer to the question I asked him earlier.

[BuJaber]

I made the list because I think if the only reason you scumread enigma is that he voted me then never unvoted that's a bad reason to SR him.
There are other stronger reasons to scumread him like his flip flopping on both sides of the PL argument.


But of that list ofrhz lately seems town I guess. Plays a very different playstyle than I do so it's a bit hard to judge.
Skygazer (you) is a solid null at the moment. I haven't been able to sort you so far.

Vulcan and ausuka aren't contributing much, they don't seem to want to make waves so to speak. They could be scum.

CJ seems like town, but someone like Oka I have a stronger townread on.

Brass I'm leaning scum for a different reason alltogether (meta). I just put him on the list to get confirmation on how to interpret his posts.


Ruru seems town and honestly it'll be more fun to see everyone who knows her be wrong about her than it would be to win. So like I wouldn't keep her alive intentionally if I thought she were scum but it would be glorious if she did end up winning as scum. Would be top 3 scum performances I've seen so far on MS for sure.

Skitter seems like solid town. He's working really hard for town cred if he's scum and I think the way he approaches the game is difficult to fake.


I don't think we should ignore the draft picks completely. I think there is a strong chance that there is scum among the small numbers (ausuka, brass, enigma, sando, CJ, ofrhz). This is even more likely imo if ruru is town (which is looking likely given the overwhelming meta townreads from people and his recent townie posts).

Finally invis and AP could flip either way. They are practically not even in this game.

So if we remove my TRs, that leaves us with the following complete scum pool:

{Vulcan, ausuka, brass, enigma, sando}

Could go either way: {AP, invisibility, skygazer}

Townleans: {ruru, oka, skitter, CJ, ofrhz}

Not a bad start for day 1 if you'll allow me a moment of ego-stroking.

Fixed it for you
