quality wagon, good work plastic.

Thank you! I think we've caught scum here, the silence has been damning, she must be cracking under the pressure!

[Elastic Plastic]

Getting town vibes from the duck/emps back and forth.

Clearly Clarity is that you?

Nope!

[Elastic Plastic]

What would you say are your strengths when interrogating someone, Garmr?

that's a weird question

+1, the tom might be scum. Rereading through, it feels like he's playing to get townread and not as provocatively as I've seen him as town. There's a lot of fluff-posting and not much substance, as well.

[Elastic Plastic]

snooooore

This response feels like a wolf response.

[Elastic Plastic]

the tom

Not quite sure how I managed to do this.

[Elastic Plastic]

VOTE: the worst

Ala can be town for now?

The whole tell thing doesn't apply because she's

very

much not a newbie.

[Elastic Plastic]

Her posting feels very flat, and I would not be surprised if her comment on the duck and emps was designed to look for early access into the potential townblock!

That's a nice intuitive pronoun usage! Unless you've already figured out my main. I think that's a read you arrive at naturally, though? Which is why I gave you town points in my vote on duck.

[Elastic Plastic]

By "the tom" do you mean the duck whose name is actually Tom?

I do!

[Elastic Plastic]

Unfortunately hyper-posting is pretty rampant. Having more content is nice I guess but sometimes it gets to be way too much noise to sort through imo.

[Elastic Plastic]

I also asked a weird question, yet you are focused on the worst asking me the weird one. Also While the duck fluffs there's been plenty of substance in there post more than usual so this hits me as a reach to scum read. I'm not going to count the snore post in this.

Is your weird question referring to the lets be masons thing? That felt like light banter tbh it didn't strike me as weird. I do agree that my scumread on wurst was a stretch! It's also like day one and I like to follow where my gut takes me to see what happens.

cheeky real name drop smh
prior to my mini cases ln show me what I was posting to be townread?

I didn't mean to! I'm trying to keep this alt very mysterious and stuff but you're a social person and there are a ton of people on site that know your first name so it wasn't a huge slip I guess. Also I'm not Cheeky! I think a lot of what I was seeing that pinged my gut was like the questions you were asking early-game felt very low-key. I've seen you play very provocatively in the past and going hard as town and the last time I've seen you play scum I saw a lot of the same fluffy-friendliness/more surface level questions/etc etc. I could just need to adjust to the fact that we're in early game? I don't really feel like I'm explaining this well but the Garmr question is a great example of like a question that I just didn't really understand what you were getting at with; it felt like you were asking it just for the sake of asking a question. Does that make sense? It's hard to point to any specific post here, it's more just a general sense of your play feeling different?

[Elastic Plastic]

btw tom is town

Why is that?

[Elastic Plastic]

Is this interpreted right? Plastic, I

think

Firebringer referred to gambr's question to me when saying 'strange question', not to the ducks.

Duck's question was the one that immediately stuck out to me as a strange question when I went back to look.

[Elastic Plastic]

Duck, are you scumreading Ank?

[Elastic Plastic]

'Yo Ico if we were all town who'd you vote and why'

Hmm. That still feels like just a silly question to me? Sillier in tone than duck's question which seemed like he was asking a serious question?

[Elastic Plastic]

I'm very much not Alisae.

[Elastic Plastic]

Duck, are you scumreading Ank?

who?

Alacracity is an outted Ank alt as far as I remember. Or maybe it was Krazy.

[Elastic Plastic]

so at what point is my question to Garmr indicative of me fluffposting rather than applying pressure/getting conversation going/trying to read Garmr?
I get the feeling people think I'm posting to be townread. Why would I think asking Garmr that abstract a question would get me townread?
Why do you jump to the assumption that me asking an abstract question of Garmr (in a sea of posts prompting conversations and sorting players) is because I'm scum, and not because I'm working an angle?

I'm just still not sure what you were aiming at with the Garmr question? I do tend to get very conf-biasy and I think I scumread you like basically 100% of games I'm in so I'm just gonna take a step back until I'm more awake? UNVOTE:

What do you think of the rest of my ISO?

your case on me is one-dimensional. i'm playing in like 1000000 dimensions.

Eh. I agree with Alacracity's reasonings behind voting for you in the early game. I feel like your iso has much more meaningful content lately but I just haven't read it closely at all to be honest. I feel like the shading of your wagon stuck out as weird to me but beyond that it was mostly early tonal stuff that's hard to pin down?

[Elastic Plastic]

*scumread you at some point

I may have said too much but I'd appreciate it if you figure me out to keep me a secret

[Elastic Plastic]

I have a history of misreading you and if you're scum I'm sure I'll catch you eventually! I also feel like I need to hard reset and work on this tomorrow. I haven't played a ton lately and I feel very outside my element right now.

[Elastic Plastic]

Why ugh?

[Elastic Plastic]

@Elastic, i think garmr intended to be coy/prompt iconeum into producing alignment indicative content with this question
but in a vacuum his vote pinged somewhat opportunistic

combining those two factors, he tried to coyly interrogate iconeum while voting him which has the subtlety of "WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS, SCUM???"

i was going to meta check him to work out whether completely unsubtle interrogation was alignment indicative, and while i was internally waxing poetic i suppose i just felt like asking him to see if he was aware of it as a tell for himself.

i didn't bother in the end; net of all things i think it's kinda towny and his other posts have been towny

Okay I just read this, you're probably town lmfao.

[Elastic Plastic]

Eventually is a good qualifying word! Hoping we roll scum or masons in our next game so we don't have to keep doing this. Funny that this whole back and forth thing has transcended my main into an anonymous alt.

[Elastic Plastic]

how much of the game did you read before going after worst?

Define "read." I think I've read almost every post but I tend to not read too closely when I'm feeling lazy and fall back to gut-feel; especially early game. I've had very mixed results with the process. I think nsg once said sometimes she just falls back on looking at the layout of posts to get reads and I guess I do something similar with my gut-reads but I need to break out of that habit.

[Elastic Plastic]

btw tom is town

Why is that?

His opener was unique and definitely town minded

Hrmmm that is like frustratingly vague to me right now. Can you point to parts of his opener that you think are town-minded? I feel like I'm seeing a lot of tw-town thought processes in his more recent posts but like I felt like his opener is what pinged me as scummy so I'm struggling to see how you arrived there.

[Elastic Plastic]

Btw don't ask me to help ID alts I fucking suck at it unless given massive hints

hint: I'm not you

[Elastic Plastic]

Voting you would be too on the nose; Ank (double checked; it's an Ank alt; would not surprise me in the slightest if Krazy was still in this game somewhere) is the only other person I've really had meaningful game interactions with in this lobby I feel like. Plus her =) shtick is great and getting a wagon going on that would've been really fun to be honest.

[Elastic Plastic]

@tw: Can you talk to me about how Ico shot so low for you?

[Elastic Plastic]

I should sleep;

[Elastic Plastic]

What's 'pulling a cyrus' refer to?

pedit: I'm not voting the worst anymore!

[Elastic Plastic]

{tw}
{fireb, emps}
{gemmy, garmr, osuka}
{alacrity, bob}
{Arc, tn}
{ico, elastic}

give or take
gna take fireb's advice and spend a bit more time roaming around the hills howling at the moon, less time roaming around the thread howling at the injustice of the world

not bottom tier

Did these reads change, then? Who's in your bottom tier?

[Elastic Plastic]

uhrhmmm fuck

who should i vote

[Elastic Plastic]

VOTE: bob

This could tell us some things pretty easily I think.

[Elastic Plastic]

i just alt slipped in site-chat so i uh may as well just rep in on my main

ive literally had no successful secret alts
