because his opening that game has way more intent in the first five posts than literally any post hes made this entire game so far.

scumcake wrote:why assume I was trying to get game relevant info is my new question
P-edit: because we are on page three and half the game hasn't posted yet. I need more actual content. Up until this little conversation there had been little to judge.
if you were town i would assume by your 11th post without being poked that you would have at least one post with something that feels like your intention of trying to genuinely figure someone out or trying to genuinely move the gamestate in some kind of useful direction.
[especially since theres obviously precedent for you to open games a lot townier than you have here]

are you telling me that if i dig into your meta
im not going to find any instances of you trying to parse earlygame content where theres not as much substance? because from just xyzzy's game the difference is like night and day to here.
scumcake wrote:Also if we're in the demanding content game what changed in between these posts?
i was bored and i liked xy's insistence that his reads were right the more i sat with it.

are you sure its me you want to pretend to sort?

why stir the pot when theres a perfectly good wagon on scum that people are going to eventually get distracted from by something shiny/dumb
forget about
and then 30 pages later we lynch dumbtown
and the scum we had flees
and the goodscum wins?

Errantparabola wrote:putting aside that cakez is badposting and the wagon is deserved, why is it wonky to not be genuinely scumhunting
i think posts for the sake of posting are scummy, especially when it comes from someone who ordinarily doesnt really make posts like that as town.
and i also want to clarify that theres a definite difference between jokeposts, conversational posts and then posts that are just.. there and thats it. to me it just reads like the person wanted to post to have posts that are in the game, possibly because they feel uncomfortable with their posting earlygame/uncomfortable with their posts in general.


let me just illustrate with literal examples.

In post 27, SirCakez wrote:nope
the cake is not boring

i understand the reference point for the scumgame is old but the towngames still read more or less the same way at around that time too.
the jokeposts are way less pointless and it ramps up so fucking hard from that to him actually trying to gamesolve.
like.
so fast.
and look at the reasoning hes giving.
like, someone who is capable of deriving that kind of reasoning for someone being scum that early is not going to react to this game the way he is here.
cake would find something to be poking at by now.
instead hes just sitting on a reasonless easy CES vote, asking me questions, instead of him.

the difference between him and firebringer and spiff joking around is that its pretty par for the course for my expectations of them.
whereas given what ive seen from towncake comparatively on a dive really just doesnt match here at all. it seriously reads as night and day and i rarely get that level of confidence off of tone.
==============================================================================
okay you can look again whew that was a close one

==============================================================================

his reaction to being pressured is mostly just why me fry me, where i think i would feel more genuine oomph behind his annoyance if he were town.
like, this reads so much like "this is unfair!!!" rather than "youre wrong!!!" and that distinction feels meaningful to me?

theres also that when ive been pressured as scum, ill typically try to focus on the semantics and fret over the person scumreading me because it seems like its content and i feel like thats what cake is doing here.

even beyond the fretting over my push; nothing cake's done, [including the really weak/easy vote on ces without anything in terms of pressure or questioning to suggest he actually cares about what ces's alignment is], has really struck me as someone who really cares about who is or isnt scum [and like ive already said i really think towncake cares about that in general, even at page 7]

honestly maybe a better way of phrasing it is that i think that the jokeposts read way more as forced as a way for him to cope with the earlygame when theres not as much obvious content for him to jump on.

can i get more words on this?
i feel like the exact opposite would be more likely in the case of cake
where a really convincingly angry reaction would make sense from townhim being pushed in a way he sees as unfair,
rather than a "this is bs these reasons for scumreading me are the wrong reasons people should be scumreading me this is all so unfair" reaction which just feels like scum squirming to me?

ces is pretty par for the course for this game in terms of my experience with him.
not to say hes town, but that hes someone that is basically impossible to read through play alone early on.
guy is succinct and smart.

can look at the 3rd fortnight for a reference point for a direct reference to his townplay in this setting.

granted he is arguably more succinct here than he was there.
tbh im a little disappointed that it seems like most of the older players arent really interested in the game.

like, youre sitting here saying weird absolutes like "scum wouldnt defend a mislynch" and "the scum are in the lurkers and naked voters", when it should reasonably be a possibility to you that a scumteam is likely to have a combination of playstyles in it. %age-wise, sure, its more likely that scum is entirely within lurkers right now, but i dont really think its a great argument behavior-wise. its very surface level to be thinking about the game in terms of some broad absolute "hmmm scum and town are in these piles because of these behaviors" rather than actually analyzing people's behaviors SPECIFICALLY. there are posts that these players are making that you could be picking at or using as examples for why you think theyre town and youre instead holding up weird abstract general statements as to why you think a bunch of people are town or scum.

p-edit: nah.

both times ive played in it one of the scum was very active and driving the gamestate
while the other was i) a lurker and ii) trying to play slightly under the radar because he hates scum [ :3 ]

that doesnt even suggest that there HAS to be an active and inactive scum here.
it just means that its not reasonable to guess scum's behavior in a broad sense because people generally play scum differently.

i think he was under the impression that the threat of it would make it easier to find scum during the day via pressure/seeing reactions to it, thus making it not anti wincon.

most of the people playing hard to get this game are at least somewhat still playing the game.

if youre town and just continually playing coy, can you just replace out so we can get an actual slot to parse?

ces is able to play well as both town and scum.
him lurking out isnt particularly AI, just kind of suggests that he isnt really interested in the game.

and it really isnt hard to understand why given that cake feels like obvious scum to half the playerlist, there isnt much of a serious comprehensive push to try to wagon someone else and most of the playerlist isnt invested in the game.

honestly think the format of the game is working against us here.
the most protown move in any other game would be to just eliminate cakez and be done with it, but given that we only have one day theres some incentive to scumhunt beyond just cakez, but its hard to do so without dismantling the momentum on him and probably finding it really hard to rebuild it.

any pressure offered on another player without wagoning them will ring hollow because realistically the people on the cakewagon + ep & spiff are probably not changing our minds on cake and the rest of the playerlist doesnt have the energy/charisma to drive the rest of the gamestate.

i can sit here and try to scumhunt seriously, but im not going to be able to get past a scumread this strong to seriously try to parse the lurker portion of the playerlist.

cake just..
isnt town? like, i give credit to the fact that hes not giving up but he just really isnt trying to find scum in any of his posts. the CES push and his posts considering wagon Mew are really surface level and dont indicate that he actually feels like he believes that theres scum in there. i strongly believe he would be asking questions of people that look like theyre trying to pressure them into doing something.
hes really not seriously trying to parse the gamestate, its posturing for the sake of appearances.

im probably somewhat wasting my time trying to reiterate this reasoning given that most of the people who are unwilling to wagon cakez probably arent going to be convinced by my reasoning.
=============================================

bleh.
hopefully the reck catch-up that happens today hopefully breathes some new life into the game? [or we could just do the

mew's posting leaves a lot to be desired especially given what little ive dived of him. could at least be trying to directly engage more than just a single post.

In post 496, BrightEyedFish wrote:I like my CES vote but I don't think it will get any more momentum.
i dont really understand why tbh.
is there something beyond him just having done nothing this game?
because his scumgame can 100% be better than that, so its not as though he cant play better even as scum here.

if the logic is "hes playing badly because he can afford to" then i would have to think he either just completely doesnt care if he wins or loses or his partner must be in a really good position.
former logic applies if hes town.
latter logic requires a theory about who is in a good position that would be his partner.

because if cakez flips town after all this, pretty much everyone in the lurker pile is in open season via 14 shots, only one of which they can counter.
i would hate those odds as scum here as a pair of lurkers.

i would also appreciate it if cogito could step it up to previous fortnight levels if hes town here too.
im leaning moreso that hes being used as a scapegoat more than anything here and it would be helpful for scum to not be able to do that.

can you walk me through why bb went from probably town to your scumpile?
not sure i understand why his content on page 12 would have made you lean town where his later posting would suddenly make you feel differently.

"im so excited to talk with gork about his confbias when im WAY TOO IRRITATED by his push to even explain why im unable to convincingly case anything outside of people being lurkers this game when it was literally trivial for me to do so in another game that just finished with only 4-5 pages of content to work with"
sorry bud.
not buying the AtE even a little bit.

there isnt a shred of scumhunting in your ISO that i believe and i think if you were town you would be pretty aware as to why given the comparison points im looking at here.
the incredulousness does not add up even a little bit.

like, you straight up know that you cant compare this game against anywhere that youve actually been town because youd have to actually genuinely try to frame all of your pushes in other games against here and you know that it would make you look terrible to do so.

if you were demotivated town acting differently than you normally do you would understand the scumreads.
if you were playing like you normally do you would be scumhunting as per usual and you would be able to explain why my comparison is wrong.

neither of those things are happening.
its just woe is me why why is this happening
gork is so mean this is so unfair
scum is just lurking this isnt cool ughhhhhhh

i feel like youre misunderstanding that the lynch is basically our best shot to collectively win the game.
a no lynch or mislynch drastically reduces each individual town's odds of winning dramatically.
throwing away that opportunity would be highly negative utility.

p-edit: yeah man adding in the context definitely makes it less of a bad idea. Lol.

mislynching a lurker takes them out of the lynchpool and gives less space for scum to hide. theres no practical situation where mislynching is worse than no lynching.

it doesnt really matter because this is just theorytalk and i dont think youre scum pitching this.
shos should probably also understand that its more likely that town pitches something like that rather than scum given how immediately bad they should know it would make them look?

town does stupid stuff? all the time? its literally why people in the NRG have to balance in town's favour to account for how stupid town is?

bright also has no need to draw attention to himself here given that the most plausible reaction to him saying that is someone pushing him the exact way youre pushing him right now.

like, youre telling me youre playing normally, but it isnt immediately obvious to you what games youve played similarly to this that should make it clear that this is your towngame.

this isnt how you reacted to pressure when getting lynched in another game and you were still able to parse content regardless of whether you were being wagoned or not in other games.
and youre literally changing your story from "i feel like im playing normally" to "this is not normally how i play".

also, in regard to why bbmolla and ut are less egregious than you comes down to the quantity of posts theyve made lining up with their motivation level and those individual posts not pinging me.
someone who makes 90+ posts that have nothing that strikes me as genuine is pretty different than a lurky player who's at least standing behind a wagon they seem confident about.

think it was the fg game where you got mad at pie, but dont have time to hunt it down right now.
know youre going to say its WILDLY DIFFERENT but i think you recognize that 90% of the recent towngames youve had you were killed during the night which probably means you should have recognized something was different in this game immediately [especially since youre literally acknowledging that youre finding it hard to scumhunt which means that its clearly obvious to you that this game was different from most games lol]

i think anyone [including yourself] who looks at any towngame youve played should see a very obvious difference in the way youre playing to a degree that just isnt explainable by just "scum is probs lurking" and "i am being wagoned". even when you scumread lurkers in other games its not as though theyre all interchangeable. this game youre literally putting all of the lurkers in a pile and shrugging your shoulders at trying to parse any of them individually.

i understand theyre low content, but you literally call people scum/town off of individual posts in your towngames so im pretty sure you cant just write this off?

you would find something to parse as town here.
im pretty sure we both know that.

but i have to keep this song and dance going so that you dont AtE your way out of this wagon. lol.

p-edit: omfg no way
so he was lying when he said we might have the same secret scumreads?

after all we've been through
you go and do me like this?

we've come such a long way ramcius
and you just THROW IT ALL AWAY??

youve gone too far this time ramcius.
too.
far.
far too far.

you will regret the day you crossed me.
they will speak of this in song.
they will remember this day as a grim day for humanity.
they will know of it as the day that ramcius abandoned his friends in the name of spreading fear and terror through the hearts of all peoples of this world.

this is a tragedy of unparalleled proportions.
this is a dark day.
a hurtful moment for the human race as a whole.

i for one cant believe that its come to this.
can you?
i ask you as an audience to this audacity to come to the side of reason and hope once more. we must come together to fight for the freedom of all peoples.

what say you?

if you guys want to gamethrow by shooting the easiest to sort player on the site just because i was wrong then by all means.

i put my guess in yesterday and told myself i wasnt going to stress myself too hard about parsing the rest of the gamestate cause i was feeling pretty shitty about the flip but apparently people need me to try again so that they dont dumbshoot me???????
