Open 765: Haunted Village (Over)

[Platinum Phoenix]

What about my head?

- Phoenix

[PenguinPower]

It's attached to the same hydra, no?

[Platinum Phoenix]

it is, but reading a hydra off just one head - one page of one head - is incredibly blinkered.
Do you have no read on my head?

Hi, it's D1 and I go almost solely of gut, tone, and reaction to my slot on D1.

Your partner is batting three for three in scumminess.

You are part of the same slot, so it doesn't really matter what my read on you is.

Though, you haven't done anything to make up for that, and this interaction with me actually makes it worse.

The most surefire way of finding scum

this interaction with me actually makes it worse.

How?

- Phoenix

[PenguinPower]

Because of my gut, your tone, and your reaction to my slot on D1.

[PenguinPower]

[Platinum Phoenix]

I'm assuming it's your play style to be infuriating and unhelpful going off this and the search

- Phoenix

[PenguinPower]

I can't help how you feel but, I don't have much incentive to help someone I think is scum so....

[Gamma Emerald]

three for three in scumminess.

What three though

[PenguinPower]

gut, tone, and reaction to my slot

[PenguinPower]

I was helpful to someone I townread

[Gamma Emerald]

:thumbs_up:
But could you describe gut a little more? If it's pivotal to your reads consistently it probably helps to know what it means. Yes I'm playing Devil's Advocate.

You're not helping your case with comments like that.

And is this the first time you've played

against

with Penguin?

[PenguinPower]

Can't really expound gut except to say that chenny's initial posts strike me as scum him based on the games I've played. Elly's posting is more gut town, but not enough to sway me.

Tone: While I appreciate our mutual enthusiasm for Persona 5 Royal, I don't really like chenny's posts 211-222. Also didn't like post 207

Reaction to my slot: As I already stated, chenny has sufficient games with me to know that post 222 is a useless thing to ask, and I don't like his stance on Vorkuta's early townread on me.

Reading back, I do like Elly more, but this page was bad.

[PenguinPower]

I did work D1...I feel dirty.

[PenguinPower]

And note, that work was done solely to be snarky toward Elly and show that I will be helpful to townreads and not scumreads.

Don't expect it to happen again.

[PenguinPower]

Unless it furthers my snark agenda.

[PenguinPower]

You should vote fakePP with me, Vork.

Second for me. But the first one was the search where he was all but conf!town to me day 1. I was also a very different game to this one.

UNVOTE: Vorkuta.

Spoiler: thought dump

with respect to benhalkum -

i don't really understand why the wagon is happening and i dont think its great. it's very easy to vote someone because they made a few shitty posts early game about jesters (17 & 28) and haven't had overall great tone. but i don't think the wagon has much substance because at EoD i doubt benhalkum will be lynched. like, a lot of stances wrt this slot feel like "im lazy and ill vote here" rather than "solvey" - a lot of votes on him feel convenient rather than solvey.

i would compare it to the nacl slot - i dont like it but i dont see much a reason to vote park there

vorkuta's setup spec is not alignment indicative and TRing him for that seems really lazy.

i think the basis of a good townread on him rn would start with stuff like 139 and 425/431 which are sort of indicative of his town meta. (think one-night ultimate werewolf where town vorkuta was very tonally similar. i guess it's not a great example since it's "not mafia" but i think it was high effort enough for him to be indicative, yes.) the way some people have been treating his slot seems like they're just setting him up, by calling him town while ignoring literally everything consisting of what a good basis of a townread for him would be

btw i feel like posts like 182 and 527 are completely sliding under the radar for vorkuta. i don't think there's a good reason to vote him rn though and i'm not very happy my partner voted there. UNVOTE: vork (yes i know it can't be inside spoiler that's why i put it outside as well)

beta sapphire is kinda a tricky slot

i don't like their early progression and some of menalque's posts are not great (289, 429, 449 sort of feel awkward and fake and aren't like indicative of a great progression) but otoh i think ofrhz is pretty towny. in particular some of their latest posts are pretty towny, and like the progression wrt RCE while might be

bad

isnt like

scum

bad, if you get what i mean.

also as a final note on the beta slot their tone recently is towny. they've got that "fuck off with that bullshit" vibe that they're trying to sort of control, which i get because in all honesty i am feeling that same vibe rn.

i do think though for their recent stuff and ofhrz posts they are town

i mean, i think you've misread me almost every time minus search... so

Okay, I'm feeling a bit more refreshed now.

I don't think that going through things post by post is really my thing, especially since it feels like I'm not seeing anything much from individual posts for the most part.

Instead, here's this.

1. Unstuck in Time (hydra of Billy Pilgrim and TemporalLich) - Townlean. Seems to be open in regards to thoughts and opinions, and is scumhunting.
Also, @Billy, which games was I active in(Apart from ZE)? I'm really the kind of person who sits in the corner and does my own thing, and usually have a low post count. If you're talking about Zero Escape, I did try to lead things, but that was because I felt like no one else was doing that so I really had to force myself. I don't really think I did that in any of the other games I've played, though.
2. NaCl - Super town
3. Vorkuta - Townread. The setup spec seemed good at the time, and I also like that he didn't want to keep spending too long on it. As for why I liked 90, it's because it felt like he was putting thought as town that might not come as scum...mostly because his situation was impossible for the setup, and even if it was, his answer would be wrong, but it felt like it was genuinely town-wrong.
4. RCEnigma - Null, I'm not really seeing anything from his posts?
5. PenguinPower - Townlean. Because of tone, I guess, his posts feel calm and sometimes helpful. I don't think I can pick out an individual post that's good, but the whole way he's been acting feels town.
6. Hoptic (hydra of Hopkirk and hectic) - Townread. I don't think he wouldn't understand how zombie worked if he was scum. Although his posts are kind of hard for me to read so I didn't really bother with too much detail.
7. Platinum Phoenix (hydra of chennisden and elements) - I kind of feel like chennisden if off compared to my last game I played with him, like he's being kind of salty. I don't know if that a scumtell or not for him, though. I also don't like the vote on Vorkuta because I don't understand why it happened, I don't really see a progression there.
8. benhalkum - Scumread. His ignorance of the setup feels fake, and he hasn't really been contributing...I would vote it, but I have the feeling he's going to replace out and I don't think I'll get a satisfactory answer.
9. tris - Scumread. Because she's just throwing reads out there without much explanation on it. Also, her townreads seem a bit off to me, I'm not sure why Norwegian is in there.
@Tris, do you plan on explaining anything about why you think things?
10. norwegianboyEE - His tone feels off but mostly he's kind of null.
11. Gamma Emerald - I'm finding him kind of hard to read as well but I don't see anything scummy.
12. Beta Sapphire (hydra of ofrhz and Menalque) - Weak scumlean. His post 314 feels fake, I don't really think the same of Ben. Earlier lynchpool is meh, I've got townleans/reads on most of the slots. But apart from that, I'm not really sure if it's got bad motivations behind it.
@Beta Sapphire, could you help me understand what you think in 531? I don't really get it.
13. ceejayvinoya - I have no idea.

VOTE: Tris I guess...hopefully I can get back in the swing of things and feel the flow as posts are coming, catch up was a pain.

[PenguinPower]

He mentioned me, Gamma!

Yay!
