That's exactly what I had in mind.In post 829, Mephistophanes 39 wrote:Would this have something to do with the whole ordering and positioning mechanics, maybe?
At first I thought we were being trolled by our role PM. What exactly is the benefit of having a role that can move up and down the players list? That's why I said we have a mega strong role.
Then I thought maybe some actions will be targeting "numbers" rather than players? Loke "shoot player #4" or "investigate player #11", but that didn't make much sense too.
Then it hit me when people brought up land and air units and I started thinking of the game I play, and having also played other PC games such as Dune, Red Alert, Civilization, European Wars .. etc.. and I figured special units have special effects and some have a definite range and stuff, so that's when I started thinking our role actually may have some mechanical effect (like if someone can only kill/investigate/protect the adjacent slots and we end up placing ourselves in between the source and the target?), and when Varsoon insisted it was a real Vig shot that failed on STW I voiced out the idea I had been contemplating on.

Oh, God! This is where profii upgrades from good.town.play to too.convoluted.thoughts.he.will.admit.were.over.the.top.post-game.In post 888, ProFlavor wrote:The last page where a load of people (inc me) have all come out and said “not really got any scum reads” makes me consider the scenario = there is a good scum player amongst the seemingly town bunch and scum are happy if we go Koki/Nico
Perhaps - could the redirect to a lurk lynch be a counter wagon to the heat on STW? In terms of no real counter wagon formed away from STW therefore scum are trying to get town to policy lynch a lurker?
Food for thought

@profii:
Like, I don't want to out my full read list (as in the order/strength of each TR from top to bottom) for a reason, but I can see what you're saying being the case with 2 slots.
That said I have a solid Town core of 5 slots, so scum are going to have to remove us early to prevent the town coordination we are going to lead.

@pintu: Game aside, you know I love you like a brother, right? It was never my intention to add pressure on you IRL. If that happened accidentally, then I sincerely apologize.
Back to the game: I didn't call you out "for not having SRs" per se. That would be over-simplifying it. I called you out because your posts are mostly hollow and you have no reads.
If you had given me some TOWN reads with some sort of reasoning I would not have been too suspicious (and you did now in #889, so I think I'm feeling a bit better about you).
The thing is you're one of the most underestimated skillful players I know of. People don' pay much attention to you whenI know for a factyou are most capable as either alignment, so when people pass you by and dismiss you just because you appear to be lurking or "innocently" being low effort I have to be a bit wary.
Anyway, top 3 lynch candidates for me are: Nico/Koki/Mewtaph. You know Chara has a weak town lean still on Nico (I've posted something in the PT that may or may not change their mind), and Mewtaph is actually a true null (which is a bit scummy because he usually does stuff, and I have been at the receiving end of his fury as TvT before).
So, Koki is a fine vote by me for now.
Oh, and also much respect to UR2 for redeeming himself in my eyes. I would be first to acknowledge I'm stubborn and it's hard to change my mind on someone I SR early on (unless there was a mechanical reason to change that read), so UR2 managing to do just that without a mechanical reason is impressive.

I know that you and I both think there is value in taking close looks at otherwise inconsequential posts, and I gave you a full faith effort for precisely that reason. It's pretty sneaky to then turn around and read my response to that thought experiment as if I claimed those thoughts were engraved on stone slabs from god.
p.edit
I voted him over those others because I think I can read Pintu, so him moreso than those others I want to play.
I'm still voting him because I'm working through both my read of his big catchup and how I want to approach the slot.
Damn can a person get some space to play
I'm not asking for much time. I'll be on it this afternoon here. let it breathe
Did brass remove our vote on them? He said I could remove it if I want.

Considering that this vote hasn't left, was it serious?

I don't know why pinturrichio keeps pushing their content back repeatedly but it's not a great look.UP2when I first skimmed through it, the reasons for a scumread there lacked substance (PromptingMichael Scottto explain why he thoughtUP2'sposts were manufactured, that's the vote that most got my attention when it happened.)
I agree a bit onNico. A lurker lynch won't get anywhere, and I don't trust the fact that everyone is like"where's the scum at"?
:/ I get my vote onKokichicontradicts the above statement, but I'm working to change this.

I'm tempted to play overtly scummy solely to get scumreads going, and worthwhile interactions.
Vars, a lot of people sayMephist,Alchemist, andT&Lare town, but they're low confidence reads for me.

And yeah signing in different ways is fun and kinda a good mental workout. Towards the end of my last stretch I had to work to think of new ones. Maybe I’ll start rerunning them, for now I’ll try to avoid repeating any non-basic tags (so Gamma Emerald, Gamma, GE, and Gemerald are fair game for repeats)

I agree, who is he? Some vacant chasm in the playerlist, gotta be. Dude was fairly non-extant in the first game, too.
-VSTWscumread go?
And why did you vig them when I had a townread there? >:c
Part of the "null"-feels I think that's gone on in this thread, is because there's multiple pages of just pointless back-and-forths that disregard the playerlist.

@Taly:I don't know why people are townreading Mewtaph--might have to do with their play in Starcraft 1. I'm not townreading them.
Alchemist21 is town but needs to commit more of that good content.
T&L's lean town for me but I have my suspicions about the slot and I'm not high confidence either way.
STW absolutely should be lynched at the end of the day if we can't come to some conclusion--I still heavily scumread the slot.
Right now, though, I'm not 'tunneling out' and I'm trying to keep from bombarding the thread with my posts/vanity crap there since it's not going to help us solve anything atm.
What are your thoughts on Mewtaph and, in general, what do you think should be done in this kind of a game (lurker slots a problem but also current wagons/attention d1)?

That makes content less predictable and runs the game more smoothly without pages of the same shit going on.
I need more ofMewtaphfor a confident read - hence my post toward them, but their posts did feel inclined to push the game forward. I'd like to know why they haven't contributed more, if it's RL stuff or just uncertainty."Taly is going to be a hot mess all game and I am entertained" ~ Gammagooey
