Witches' Halloween Ball [Game Over]

[RadiantCowbells]

If I wanted the absolute Max winrate here we'd only have four pairings made to prevent scum from trying to derail the plan later

[RadiantCowbells]

Sakura still short?

Yes, but that is anti-fun, so I didn't bother bringing it up.

I also didn't really have a huge issue with LLD's initial proposal since filling up all the pairs eliminates the scum autowin issue. And so long as the initial 3 pairs have at most one scum (which is an acceptable expectation considering scum sometimes weasel into townblocks), it doesn't really matter how the other pairs are made so long as everyone outside the townblock (assuming it's a well-made townblock) dies.

[DVa]

I haven't done a full list because I am really struggling with sorting the ladies. My gents list hasn't moved a terribly large amount

still thinking there's a good chance scum is 1 gent, 2 ladies, or possibly 3 ladies if I am wrong about gamma

Gents
townie
Karmeleon -- some of his posts are active posting and I understand why some people scumread him for that but there's been several reactions that felt pretty townie to me
Brian Skies -- he hasn't really pinged me and his last few posts have seemed pretty townie
Kokichi Oma -- this one is hard to say cause I feel like my reasons for tring Kokichi are the same as my reasons for scumreading Gamma, but when Kokichi does it it seems townie. other people know him better but this is where I'm at.
shortaru -- I've liked some of his reactions, some of his thoughts have felt pretty genuine, on the whole thinking newgreen
SirCakez -- I could almost put him below Dunn actually, tonally some of his posts seem townie but I'd like to see more content and a full reads list, particularly considering his critique of Chibi's
Dunnstral -- somehow I feel like I would feel more strongly he was town if he was town, but I didn't correctly sort him in BoR so I'm not sure my ability to read him is that consistent tbh
Gamma Emerald -- as I said, no presence, no effort, which for Gamma seems scummy but somehow for kokichi seems townie, and I don't know that I can verbalize that contradiction but its just their personalities and congruence I guess
scummy

Ladies
more townie/more confidence
ChibiBear -- not strongly opposed to this being newgreen until gamma flips red, at which point I do need to reevaluate the potential for this to be a newred partner. but until I know gamma is red 100% I'm fine with this being town.
Lady Lambdadelta -- feel like this is town mostly from poe but one thing I was thinking was that the caps rage seems to come and go erratically. also feel like the first post was actually a bit at odds with the general dynamic of the rest of the game, but not sure if that's just her deferring to you RC
Malakittens -- for some reason I liked her on page 1 and that hasn't fully gone away but tbh I might have been confusing her with sakura in that moment, I'd say my read here is low confidence
less townie/less confidence

defiantly null
Firebringer -- just don't know
Princess Celestia -- nothing to work with

less scummy
MariaR -- yes, I'm still hung up on the fire thing
Moment -- feel like a lot of the reads are consensus reads and some of the reasoning seems like it's trying to seem pro-town; also feel like the things she's said about gamma have a decent chance of being a bus if gamma flips red
more scummy

[shortaru]

DVa, what do you think of a Chibi/Gamma pair?

That way, there's no need to worry whether she's scum with Gamma if/when he flips red because the question resolves itself.

[RadiantCowbells]

I'm v good with short good with Brian Skies maaaybe persuadable karmeleon

[RadiantCowbells]

No chibi is towny we're not wasting her

[DVa]

atm I'd rather Moment/Gamma

[shortaru]

Okie

[Gamma Emerald]

Some of what 996 is saying I don’t understand

[Gamma Emerald]

Thought the lan was to pair towny people with less towny people outside of the townblock

[DVa]

I like Brian but I guess it's an open question of whether he plans to actually stay focused on the game in dance 1, if he really doesn't want a partner I don't know I'd want to force him into it just cause I tr him

I like Karmy but I also want him to town up more for me rather than me towncasing him right now, I think a read list would help (all in one post too )

[Brian Skies]

Thought the lan was to pair towny people with less towny people outside of the townblock

Yes, that was indeed the plan.

For me, the idea was to speed up the lynch process by enticing town players to ditch their scummy partners. It was mostly a slot-flipping express lane for me rather than anything that was entirely necessary. As long as the initial townblock was well made, it wasn't terribly important to me how the other pairings were done (mostly because I didn't plan on being the one to clean up the mess ).

[Malakittens]

I love how I seem to have dissapeared from people's reads lists

are u doing a mala impression?

fuck you.

[Malakittens]

I like your style.

Karmy, would you like to go to the dance... with me?

TvT pair right here imo I don't mind it.

I don’t even know you! I’m okay with an early p2 read from someone I know

This feels a little forced

NOTES ON A SCANDAL
-Mala seems kinda scummy early on, looking for RC approval and the typical scumline of "why am I town". Others noticed this.
-Fuck you guys for having a pointless dick measuring contest @Fire and LLD
-Moment 110 scummy as hell

Still have 7 pages to go but lots of NAI stuff in what I read which blows. Brb.

I have Brian and Mala (until she obvtown up) as scum right now.

Also have Dunn mentioning my name serveral times. I'm only up to page 25 for quotes. Anyways going to bed, might be why i'm so pissed off because i havent been sleeping well again,

[Sakura Hana]

Sakura still short?

?

[RadiantCowbells]

Still short for ideal partner for DVa

you agree she's locktown right?

[Sakura Hana]

Well, yes.

[Sakura Hana]

I feel like I would feel more strongly he was town if he was town

this made me giggle

[ChibiBear]

I couldn't find anything about it in the rules but is there a set amount of time before an inactivity prod?

[Gamma Emerald]

Oh yeah
Looks like we have another practitioner of beeboy-style reads
I actually understand the read’s meaning but it’s a fun meme

[FakeGod]

Just ask me to prod.

[DVa]

Is it weird that I'm really enjoying playing with you even though I think you're scum, Gamma?

idk, maybe it's the lack of voting scumreads and the need to townblock over scumblock but this game is really fun so far

maybe it's just cause I'm townread tho

2 days 4 hours

2

@ mod please prod the pony

[shortaru]

This is probably a dumb question... but since there are only 3 scum, wouldn't it be optimal to only pair up the 4 towniest couples? (Insta-lynch anyone that pairs off outside of Radiant's orders, to minimize scum infiltration)

Possible win right in the pre-game phase, and even in a worst case scenario, town retains majority and it shouldn't be that difficult for Radiant to PoE who's left.

... or am I missing something?
