The guy with 1/5th my posts calling out my activity ahhaahahaaaaahhaaaahahaha. Ahem.
I had some choice words for you but 1661# isn't terrible so I'll keep them to myself.
This game isn't fun for me right now. I need to take a breather.
I'd like Varsoon and worst to know that I really really appreciate what you guys have done standing up for me. Worst, you seem like a chill dude, I'm glad I've met you here.
Side note - my phone also keeps trying to autocorrect Varsoon to bassoon. So if you'd like a pet name, I can stop fixing that. X.DSmooth as silk when he's scum, and very much capable of running things from behind the scenes while appearing to be doing minimal effort. - Almost50
Xtoxm is consistently great - Shosin
you were the only wolf i townread at endgame - the worst-

I've decoded to stop tracking VCs for now. The way everybody keeps hopping on/off wagons makes it IMPOSSIBLE for me to get anything fruitful without a flip.
I also have some ideas that I'm not sharing. I'll probably take these with me to the grave (still better than being wrong and giving scum something to fall back on when I'm gone)

Koki, your play is starting to get on my nerves for real. All you do is lurk out and then pop up to ask why the wagon on X, and that's not just in this game but a is becoming a feature of your play. Please play the game properly. Thank you.In post 1681, Kokichi Oma wrote:Why the sudden perf wagon

Where the hell is scum lol
Do I need to exhaustively go through my town reads or are we going to get somewhere day 1 and see what the flip brings us-

Right
NM and xtoxm are still fine lunches tbh
As is mewtaph, kokichi
+ probably someone else I’ve forgotten
Obviously they each have some amount of town equity (none have scum claimed) but there’s a pretty high bar for towniness this game I feel - I don’t super understand defenses for any of these players beyond “I just really feel towniness from them, this meh play they’re doing is just what town!them would do here”
I’ve seen shoshin correctly read NM before and NM can be pretty good at tpr, so I guess I’m also willing to not lynch there?
But I think we push past the “please don’t lynch!!!”s on one of these players and just do it; soon, probably-

Shoshin townreads mew I think?
Lots of people don't want to lynch Keyser today, myself included
Kokichi was given tons of "just replaced in" room even with the impending deadline
I wish I were home right now to case people but I'm in for a 3 hour dentist session \o/
Irrelephant, what are your thoughts on Keyser focusing on us so much of day 1? It feels so weird to me but obviously I no longer have confidence in my Keyser reads-

So next I'm trying to figure out who's scum, and I'm getting like almost nothing. And the best thing I came up with in terms of visible play comes out to people not doing much so far, so I associated that with Xtoxm when I really shouldn't have associated with him specifically. Hope that makes things clearer.
idk how to explain why? like it feels like you don't really know how to approach the gamestate but like i can see that coming from both alignments repping in tbh?-

here's some new mewtaph town!meta
newbie game, he was se, died n1, so he didn't post *that* much before he died
like i guess what' i'm missing here from him is that his thought processes there just kinda made sense and i could track them and i could tell he was thinking about the game
like here he's more telling me that he's thinking about various things without really showing his work in thread, if that makes sense
like there was just more ... nuance there + he was willing to push his scumreads even if it wasn't a popular wagon-

I can't shake the discomfort of making it this far without having really town read skitter30 yet so I'll review that slot next
I read performer and xtoxm and realized that I misinterpreted a few things while interacting live; I'm not as totally lost about their trains of thought as I previously thought and will have to look at this game with really fresh eyes as I'm feeling a bit puzzled-

@skitter: Knock.It.Off. Nancy already unfolded my hand regarding my read on you (which you still think could be faked, but why the hell would I try to keep it under cover if my object was to pocket you??). As of now, I have no reason to hide anything (I was playing you and enjoying it, tbh. A bit mean, but entertaining to have you reeling and chasing your tail re my alignment. )
Anyway, it's Performer + Mewtaph + Koki for me. I have been trying to figure out of Mew's been avoiding me as a sign of acknowledgement he doesn't know how to read me or because he's scum and is trying avoid my wrath. That last unvote makes me think it's the second option.
Koki's blatant "I won't be playing properly" is rubbing me the wrong way and looks very much like scum coasting.
If you look at the current VC status (and check a couple of VCs back) you will see Performer's voting paterns have always been suspicious and opportunistic. Like in 1.10 he was voting Shoshin, and in 1.11 he put Xtoxm @L-1, which doesn't make sense as Shoshin (Performer's former target) was leading the charge on Xtoxm, at the time.
Finally (and I concede this might be the weakest link of my argument) check the replacements and activity. Two of the slots have been replaced, yet all 5 of them (replaced players included) didn't really do anything to advance the game or make proper pushes. They're afraid of making mistakes because the players list is too sharp to let go of a scum slip.
Ok, forget about this last point if you don't like it, but the fact is I've been silently keeping an eye on the game while pretending to be a spectator myself so as not to let my personal feelings interfere with my play. The slot has been mainly driven by Nancy so far (95% if the posts I made were non-game related).
So, let's lynch one of Performer (the closest to a lynch already) Mewtaph or Kokichi and get it over with. An investigative on either of the other two is very likely to give us a guilty, and we probably would win the game by the end of D3.

I feel Mewtaph’s responses to tw, are the towniest posts he has made on here and under pressure is a really good way to ascertain someone’s alignment and his reaction seemed more likely to come from town than scum. I think me and Shoshin are mindmelding once again here.In post 1694, skitter30 wrote:
