Open 768: C9++ [GAME OVER]

[Menalque]

Can this not be a 5 pages overnight game every day pls

Let’s policy lynch Norwegian so I don’t have to sort him

VOTE: Norwegian

[Menalque]

So you’re an alt yes, BS?

Have we played together?

[Menalque]

Groovy, ty

[Menalque]

No questions for me Bingle jingle Bingle boi?

[Menalque]

Why is ducky anti-town here?

[Menalque]

No questions for me Bingle jingle Bingle boi?

kinda badposting

not sure why you expect people to ask you questions instead of reading this convo and asking them yourself

o no, now you’ve caught two scum between me and ducky, however will you know who to push!?!?!?

[Menalque]

Ahhh, dem pagetops

[Menalque]

No, actually you’ve explained why you think ducky is scum, mostly based on meta with you

I want you to explain why he’s being anti-town in what he’s doing

[Menalque]

No questions for me Bingle jingle Bingle boi?

kinda badposting

o no, now you’ve caught two scum between me and ducky, however will you know who to push!?!?!?

idk your personality but i think this post is just sarcastic without a real reason to be

wow such astute, great genius, wow

[Menalque]

But like for real, idk you, I wanted to play this game because of the players i do know because that’s fun to me. I’ll do stuff later but for now I’m shitposting until they turn up. If you wanna make an issue of that, then yeah, I’m not gonna take you seriously esp when the one actual game related question I ask you you just dodge?

[Menalque]

are we out of rvs or is it still shitpost time

welcome to shitpost o’clock friend

[Menalque]

But like for real, idk you, I wanted to play this game because of the players i do know because that’s fun to me. I’ll do stuff later but for now I’m shitposting until they turn up. If you wanna make an issue of that, then yeah, I’m not gonna take you seriously esp when the one actual game related question I ask you you just dodge?

you're getting more confrontational than expected and i'm not sure what to do with it without knowing how you usually is

anyway i didn't "dodge" it, I was just writing.

You don’t know me so how do you have any baseline for what level of confrontational I’m likely to be

Like I just wanted to shitpost, maybe do a little sorting while I waited for teacher and skitt to turn up

But nope, you’re gonna make an issue of it

[Menalque]

No, actually you’ve explained why you think ducky is scum, mostly based on meta with you

I want you to explain why he’s being anti-town in what he’s doing

Hmm, I don't think I can explain why duck is more likely scum than town to me rn without using meta

from a objective pov you can say something like "he is not making a effort to engage or explain what he is thinking" but that's more about being ""protown"" than being actually town or scum.

what is irking me is essentially the fact that i don't see why duck wouldn't act otherwise here.

It's a pretty personal read you could say.

So is it that he’s behaving anti-town or because he’s pinging you on a personal level due to meta?

[Menalque]

If it’s a meta read then why are you implying that his behaviour is anti-town?

[Menalque]

VOTE: nebbui

[Menalque]

oh, this is actually badposting tho

wow such astute, great genius, wow

Tell me more, tell me more
About how bad I am
Tell me more, tell me more
As I wagon you fam

[Menalque]

Again, I literally just wanted to shitpost and wait for the players who I’m in this game because of to turn up

If you actually wanted to leave it alone then you would

Also my thing is catching scum

Whereas your thing is trying to make this about personal issues rather than you engaging more with my shitposting than my questions about your worst read which your answers to have been Bad(tm)

[Menalque]

Menalque you just feels toxic tbh

Then answer my questions and stop making this about my personality

[Menalque]

oh, this is actually badposting tho

wow such astute, great genius, wow

Tell me more, tell me more
About how bad I am
Tell me more, tell me more
As I wagon you fam

if you want my reason I just thought it was awkwardly sarcastic, a bit of a reaction blow out of proportion. I think it comes more often from scum than town but the numbers aren't that great.

But again you don’t know me so you have no way to know if I fit into the group of people it would be mildly scum indicative for or not

If you wanna meta me and make an argument okay, but otherwise I don’t like that you’re trying to make something that is v much NAI for me into something that is when you don’t even have any meta with me to support it st alll

[Menalque]

these posts are not shitposts

im dipping

No, comeback, there are shit posts! Didn’t you see the bit where I repurposed lyrics from grease? Noooooo

[Menalque]

No questions for me Bingle jingle Bingle boi?

Nope.

After reading the next page, my answer is upgraded to lolnope.

Hokay

[Menalque]

Also my thing is catching scum

Whereas your thing is trying to make this about personal issues rather than you engaging more with my shitposting than my questions about your worst read which your answers to have been Bad(tm)

Ok.

Do u wanna answer 140 tho?

[Menalque]

these posts are not shitposts

im dipping

No, comeback, there are shit posts! Didn’t you see the bit where I repurposed lyrics from grease? Noooooo

Or was it Greece 2?

I think Greece 2 was Rome and idk any of the songs other than sono legati

[Menalque]

4/5.

We were looking for a reference to “Raisins” to get that elusive 5th star.

Nah that one is set in America and it’s like raisins of anger or something

No musical numbers at all, sad face

[Menalque]

bingle made me go read binky barnes memes and highlights for the past 30 minutes

There’s no way there’s 30 mins of binky Barnes content, LAL

[Menalque]

Well that was a waste of two pages. I'll just keep my vote on Menalque for now.

Why don’t you think that any of that was productive? What is it about it that makes it so?

[Menalque]

They’re only available if your a Persian or a Gaul sadly

Got any reads flipperz?

[Menalque]

Well that was a waste of two pages. I'll just keep my vote on Menalque for now.

Why don’t you think that any of that was productive? What is it about it that makes it so?

Just a full page of meta reads and petulant arguing.

So you don’t think anything in that entire page is AI?

Not one of us comes out looking worse, not TvT, not SvS, you think that entire page was completely null?

[Menalque]

also its pages 7 so no, not really

Okay, got any leans?

[Menalque]

VOTE: norwegian

[Menalque]

Yo BS I see you’re online come and vote scum with us

[Menalque]

Or you don’t wanna answer them because fabricating an answer to a question is hard

Occam’s

[Menalque]

Like those are very easy questions to answer if you’re town so I don’t get why you wouldn’t just do it

[Menalque]

Also dislike you shading them as “pointless questions” when getting people’s thought processes on who’s scum/town to see if their analysis makes sense or comes from a town pov is literally scumhunting

[Menalque]

Idr what you asked besides the one question directed at me. The one directed at me idt was pointless. Anything outside of that I’m too lazy to search for rn

Oh I was talking about when I was asking Norway to explain why he’d got absolutely nothing to help him sort from me and nibs arguing

[Menalque]

VOTE: North boy EE

So it begins

[Menalque]

Hey Bingle mc jingle do you wanna make up fo r that filthy pagetop stealing by joining on Norway

[Menalque]

Heya ducky, wanna come and vote scum with us?

[Menalque]

Hhhmmmmmm if you promise to vote scum with me after we get bored of the wagon sure

Where do I sign that sounds like the best deal ever

We get to vote scum

Then we get to vote scum again

[Menalque]

HI SKITTER

[Menalque]

pls be town this game? Bc I’ve been waiting for that for like 3 games now

[Menalque]

Can this not be a 5 pages overnight game every day pls

Let’s policy lynch Norwegian so I don’t have to sort him

VOTE: Norwegian

what's your history with norwegian?

Hang on lemme answer this in a sec

[Menalque]

menalque remind me, have i played with scum!you?

Nope, it’s you who keeps betraying the two dimensional plane of trust

[Menalque]

HI TEACHER

[Menalque]

Can this not be a 5 pages overnight game every day pls

Let’s policy lynch Norwegian so I don’t have to sort him

VOTE: Norwegian

what's your history with norwegian?

I believed when I said this that Norwegian was a good option for a policy lynch because [redacted]

I will not comment more on this beyond this post

My current reasons related to voting Norwegian relate to his interactions with me a page or two ago

[Menalque]

this gamestate feels strange

Go on

[Menalque]

Hi fam!

I really did basically follow both of you here.
I have to say nibbui v Menalque did not feel tvt.

Why? Which one of us is scum pinging you?

[Menalque]

And well played Menalque!

Ty I do try to learn

[Menalque]

The game is lethargic but I don’t think that necessarily means a lot yet as there’s not really a wagon looking like it may go through yet

I’m scumleaning norway

I don’t know where I’m at on nibbui. Like I didn’t resllt love him but I think this could be one of those situations where I get tunnelled because I don’t get along on a personality level

Bingle is a slight townlean

Everyone else can be null, but I’m townbinning you again until I have reason to believe otherwise

[Menalque]

@menalque what do u think of teacher?

Null

I think this he’s prob being honest about having wanted to play in this bc of the PL but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t have rolled scum

I wanna hear what he thinks about nibs and me arguing

[Menalque]

Eh i was in a bad mood at the time and he was pushing the wrong buttons

I think that was the trigger for it

I just don’t know if he was pushing me intentionally to get a reaction or if it was just a personality clash

[Menalque]

Who’s on ducky atm?

[Menalque]

Oh yeah I kinda liked 176 by flipperz

Not hugely but I just thought that “for the mean time” is a phrasing that I think scum would quite possibly rethink as being overly hedgy

[Menalque]

No idea. What does it matter? It was an rvs wagon and we are one day into the game. I didn’t like how bibs and now more people are trying to pretend the wagon has lynch intent.

Because it matters to flipperz apparently and so I’m curious

[Menalque]

Wait have you two played with nibbui before?

[Menalque]

Is he normally mildly abrasive?

[Menalque]

What was jungle republic?

Also skitt you said I’m prob town, why is that?

[Menalque]

It was either 51 or 53

[Menalque]

What was jungle republic?

Also skitt you said I’m prob town, why is that?

it's an open (multiball) setup. me and nibbui played in a run of it together when he was less active, i can pull it up

i think you feel like town!you rn

Yeah, I’d like to read it pls

Hmm, okay

[Menalque]

You’re fast ty

[Menalque]

>click on link
>go to last page
>skitt: “this was one of the most frustrating games I’ve ever played in tbh”

Well this’ll be a fun read

Also it’s like 4:30 am here lol, I’m going to sleep

[Menalque]

I mean it’s not really the same thing Norwegian because I just find you scummy but I don’t feel like you actively irritate me, so I can’t really role the two into one

You frustrate me because, and I genuinely don’t mean to be rude here, but I don’t think you’re that good at the game and it makes it really hard to sort you because I can’t tell what’s just you being bad!town vs what could be you being actual scum

Like, that readslist is awful but it’s frustratig because I don’t know if it’s awful because it’s scummy or because it’s just awful

But basically you’re just scumreading everyone who wagoned you i think? Idk where the last VC was

You’re TLing teacher because of an RVS wagon despite saying there’s no content to his slot

You’re calling wicked scum for having the time to be around but not contributing a lot while that’s p much you yesterday (you still haven’t answered my questions about what you think nibs vs me means, which should be easy)

You’re voting BS while shading wicked esp bc you’re TRing nibs and skitt and tbh your vote looks kinda like you just don’t wanna sheep bc you’ve been told sheeping is bad

[Menalque]

I really don’t like that you’ve said v similar things about egix, ceejay, drdoo and BS but you’ve said that they’re all null for it (correct) but that BS is the worst slot in the game when the only real difference is that he voted you

Coming from someone else I might think that scum blatantly OMGUSing like that is less likely but from you I actually don’t know

[Menalque]

Idk I don’t rly think wicked is that scummy? I think 352 reads town for tone and I don’t get the same pings about his RVS vote or his ducky vote that you’re talking about in 353 skitt

I do think that the activity thing is weird and is the best point there in favour of scum!wicked

But I still prefer Norwegian atm

[Menalque]

yo skitt did your read on wicked change?

[Menalque]

okay, so does it not bother you that he's also voting ducky? fwiw I'm not really loving ducky or bingle jingle boy but I kinda think ducky looks worse

[Menalque]

I don't like how he's been evasive throughout the day, I didn't like 376 for the same reasons you pointed out, and I don't like that he's SRing teacher but again not actually doing anything about that

[Menalque]

ducky I mean

[Menalque]

okay I mean that checks out, I just kinda thought that it might've given you pause if you'd noticed wicked was on it

but I don't really think you would lie here as either alignment

VOTE: duck

[Menalque]

skitt - town

BS - town leans
nibb
teacher

flips - null
wicked
doo
cj
egis

bingle - null scum

Norway - scum leans
duck

is kinda where I'm at atm

[Menalque]

what is micro 840 and why does everyone seem to keep talking about it

[Menalque]

i have this pet theory that tw v skitter sounds somehow staged

not sure if s v s or t v s/s v t

i feel that the intensity/animosity is a bit overdone compared to micro 840 for example

how can it be staged if it's S/T

[Menalque]

oh maybe it's just you then and you won't shut up about it

also I rly wanna play in a mystery box game, I was gonna sign up for (I think 5?) but I didn't meet the experience requirements while it was still in sign ups :/

[Menalque]

why is having you and teacher together bad? my reads there are independent

same thing in the bottom: I kinda doubt that all three of Norway, ducky, bingle are scum but that's the way I'm leaning on each one on their own atm

[Menalque]

why is having you and teacher together bad? my reads there are independent

same thing in the bottom: I kinda doubt that all three of Norway, ducky, bingle are scum but that's the way I'm leaning on each one on their own atm

I don't think you can realistically say me and teacher have more or less the same amount of readable content so i think even if you do have positive feelings about teacher he should definitely be one tier below

but i know there's no tier below between town lean and null in your readlist so i'm not gonna make an issue of that

well no, it's more that I think that teacher has limited content but it mildly town pinged me

whereas you have a lot more but there are also more things I've disliked

so you balance out to the same place

[Menalque]

I think that you’re meant to hatchet people not chainsaw then in the current meta

[Menalque]

@bingle

[Menalque]

Voting skitt because she’s “in her scumrange” is a terrible reason to vote her

just ftr

[Menalque]

Eh. This isn't a defence of tw. This is an attack on skitter. I could get tw off the hook if that was my goal a lot more easily.

I mean the fact that you made your case right after I’d voted ducky post-talking to her and she was giving reasons for scum duck

Kinda makes me feel like it is

[Menalque]

@norway

Actually you got me there, I had BS and flipperz mixed up in my head because they were the other ones voting you. I liked 176 by flipperz and it’s enough for him to be town for now

Teacher I SR for tone which means he’s prob town, plus I liked him calling out the that your TR on him was bad rather than just accepting it

You’re gonna take me a little more time to explain but it’s p clearly there if you wanna read any of the posts in my ISO about you

[Menalque]

Skitt how are you feeling about me?

[Menalque]

I’m feeling kinda uncomfortable that you’re not being more paranoid of me tbh

Like I feel like you’re a little too happy to just take me TRing you and run w/ that and I kinda also feel that’s slightly more likely from scum!you as an approach towards me after 51/53 where going after my nislynch helped me to identify you as scum

[Menalque]

@norwegian, my issues with your readslist are:

- i'm not sure why me and nibbui are town for pushing wicked
- that isn't a good reason to townread me
- there's no reason to townread teacher for being an rvs wagon here
- i disagree that the duck seems to be enthusiastic about this game for him
- not sure why bs is the worst offender of being low-activity/empty posting

despite all that recent posts make me think you're kinda townie so

But then equally you feel right in your interactions with me and I think I’m mindmelding with you a lot on stuff like this

But then idk if after last game I would now be high enough up on your list to be someone you’d aim to pocket

[Menalque]

i'm not sure why you're framing this as scum!me not wanting to 'poke the tiger' and is instead choosing to back off because i dont' want to be caught in the crossfire when i'd tried to engage you several times before that.

@jingle

Because it's how I see it.

There are two REALLY town motivations to "The fuck is that guy doing?" Poke it with a stick or ignore it. You skirted the edge of the minefield.

Town doesn't worry about whether the plan will blow up on them, because they, as town, know their motivations are town. They /might/ worry about the plan blowing up in general, but you were content to watch your strongest townread poke it with a stick.

My problem with that is I think this is a case of one of those things most people would do but not necessarily skitt and I think you know her well enough to know that she entirely is someone who would skirt around it while she’s getting her head in

And so the fact that you’re pushing her for that reads kinda disingenuous

Like I’m not 100% on skitt town, I learned that I’m not as good at reading her as I thought in pfup

But I think I can read her okay and I’m sure as shit not seeing her get lynched off the back of anything we’ve had so far today

[Menalque]

We’re not doing skitt today so find another lynch

[Menalque]

Wait why would that make this fake as opposed to making this real?

[Menalque]

Oh wait I’m really tired and being dumb

[Menalque]

Ignore 581

[Menalque]

We’re not doing skitt today so find another lynch

No?

I see no better alternatives at the moment, and am happy to continue pushing here until I decide I'm wrong, until I decide there's a more scummy person, or until my vote is needed to help the gamestate.

Feel free to ask me about other people, but imo there isn't anyone scummier than skitter and I'm not going to give up a push because it's hard. That's how town loses games.

I mean I kinda don’t care if you push there because honestly that’s useful but so far I’ve seen v little that makes me think this is scum!skitt and if I don’t think it’s actively to overwhelmingly likely then I’m not lynching her today

So if you think you can make that happen go ahead and push but I don’t think you will and I’ll fight you on it every step of the way

[Menalque]

i'm not sure why you're framing this as scum!me not wanting to 'poke the tiger' and is instead choosing to back off because i dont' want to be caught in the crossfire when i'd tried to engage you several times before that.

@jingle

Why is this explanation less plausible @nibb

[Menalque]

So if you think you can make that happen go ahead and push but I don’t think you will and I’ll fight you on it every step of the way

I don't understand why you would make this post or what you expect from me in response, tbh.

Like, obviously if my case is unconvincing fight me on it. If you think skitter is obvtown, share those reasons. If you think skitter is null and don't want to lynch there today, push a better wagon.

This seems fairly obvious.

I’m probably going to do at least one of those things but if skitt is null to me she’s still not a wagon that I’m lynching today

But I’m not doing it tonight but I thought I’d let you know as a courtesy so you can use your time more productively looking for scum elsewhere rather than pushing someone we aren’t lynching today

[Menalque]

VOTE: jingle

I actually still think duck has good odds of flipping scum here because I do think that this was an attack to take th pressure off him and put it onto you

[Menalque]

VOTE: skitter30

BANGG

agent of chaos nibbui in action

via Imgflip Meme Generator

[Menalque]

But like I still think duck has the equity and if it backfires then jingle becomes the more likely lynch

Which makes me think that if it is a chainsaw (I have another theory too but kinda wanna let things run a lil more before I say) then I think it could mean that duck has a scum PR

[Menalque]

Excuse you, I’m a terrible meme-r

[Menalque]

I think 624 answers 622

[Menalque]

oooooooooh i just realized that the person people are calling emps in this game = emperor flippy nips

i was p sure emps wasn't actually in this game

I literally just had the same thing

His name is flipperz people

Or if you must address him by his full title, flippers mcnipperz III

[Menalque]

tomorrow will be the day I give this game the effort it deserves.

I want to believe you but I’m not sure if I do

[Menalque]

Norwegian part of my issue with you is shit like this

I’ll go back and respond to you properly when I’m not on my phone, but the crux of my issue is a lack of humility. Like when people vote you or suggest you’re bad you just straight OMGUS. That makes you deeply lack value as town (because your reads lack nuance or good logic) but also makes you hard to read as scum because it’s a scummy behaviour that you do as town.

This game there are currently people who are worse than you (see: duck) but it also means that you’re always going to be a good policy lynch because having you in the game doesn’t bring a lot of value to town and it’s hard to tell if you’re actually scum or just scummy

Then when you get feedback, instead of accepting it or considering it like “hmm, maybe my reads aren’t great/maybe there’s a reason I’m getting called bad” you just lash out or make AtE self-pity jokes.


Like if you’re finding that a lot of people vote you as a scapegoat maybe acknowledge there’s something about your play that makes that happen and work on fixing it.

[Menalque]

Hmm

If Blatant zdcum is who I think they might be then I think this would be mildly town indicative for them

But then 786 and 789 are kinda surprising

[Menalque]

I didn’t get any FL vibes off you, but I do think you were in pfup

[Menalque]

I didn’t get any FL vibes off you, but I do think you were in pfup

pfup?

Pokemon fusion upick but I guess not hey?

[Menalque]

I didn't see that - I'm not miserable, I don't mind if you need to vote me. I'll be finding scums.

pedit: skitter is best take for SK atm

If we were gonna sk hunt, which we’re not, then you’re the best take for it

[Menalque]

Skitt are you still around

[Menalque]

Ahh I kinda wanted to do a thing but nom posting there means I cant

[Menalque]

I am pro lolhammer but can't see myself doing it intentionally for a while yet

Talk me through this attitude

[Menalque]

ftr I don't think there's actually been a good faith effort to work out the motivation behind my posts as of yet itt -- skitter is hardcore tunnelled (but earnestly feels that she's correct so is less likely to be groupscum) & Nibbui is hyperfocused on like my Nor vote which I don't think is particularly interesting but he's also probably?? town

defending myself from you guys is like intensely boring

if you think I'm scum there's 2-3 other scumslots so help me bus the fuck outta my partners



pedit: Nibs re engagement -- this post should hit the nail on the head. you're not reaching out to me about stuff that's worth me engaging w you on. there's enough content itt for you to get my alignment right, you're focused on weird stuff. I'd rather focus on slots who could actually be scum

I don’t get the focus on trying to make us have to work out the motivation behind your posts tbh

Why not just tell us and we can decide if we believe you or not

I don’t see why you’re making everyone work harder to read you and I don’t see why that’s helpful to town vs helpful to scum

Also just generally not a fan of the “help me bus my partners” line. Like. Find some scum and push them then. Don’t make the responsibility lie on everyone else to move off you to go elsewhere when you’re the one who’s picked up a wagon to L-1. It’s like you’re trying to change the framing on the whole thing but idk if it’s scum motivated or survival motivated bc they’re basically the same thing at this point

[Menalque]

I don’t want you to town case yourself

I want you to stop being deliberately obscurantist about your motivations for doing shit

[Menalque]

The part where you freaked out when i asked you to explain your votes

Yeah sure let’s start with this

[Menalque]

Ducky

Do you have any idea how much answers like that make me wanna lynch you

[Menalque]

you should see your gp. you can get something for policy lust.

This isn’t policy tho

I legit don’t see the towny motivation behind what you’re doing and I think the simplest answer is that there weren’t reasons behind your votes

And that’s not town

For someone who was new I think this could be indicative of town from the fact that you’re just kind of ducking around in front of the wagon but I think this is calculated to look like you don’t care to try and win townpoints

[Menalque]

dude you've bent yourself so hard to get to that read that you look like a pretzel

Okay ducky

[Menalque]

Spoiler:

As for Menalque, I haven't seen it yet, but the way he's arguing up until page 7 screams scum to me. Too bad I've never seen TOWN!Menalque (or have I?), but I've been scum with him once and town against scum him once so far.

Scum with me twice including this game right?

[Menalque]

Teacher can I have some content or I’m gonna start getting real antsy

Norwegian why have you totally changed your playstyle?

[Menalque]

A50 is p much completely null as of rn

[Menalque]

Running the risk of making an optically scummy post because I'm kinda in awe.... A50 I'm trying to remember a time when you misread me and I can't think of one. Do you actually have a 100% read rate on me?

Obviously not counting Starcraft because you were on point but we bossed you into abandoning your read

I am not sure, but let me ask you this: How well are you familiar with Flavor Leaf's recent play style? And how about his dynamic relation with RCE in multiple games they play together?

Why are you asking this?

[Menalque]

@nor I feel like you're been changing your playstyle in accordance to what's been said to you

like, I called you out early game and you went from being defensive and coming up with readslists to just memeing (still had some content, but a lot of memeing and shitposting) then I say I think you've changed the way you're playing and you start doing the readslists and stop memeing again

idk I'm just not sure if this is you being overly responsive in a kind of clumsy effort to do what you think people want from you or you being genuinely receptive to feedback

[Menalque]

I TL'd flippers but I should probably reread there as it was mostly a gut thing from early on

[Menalque]

I’m basically flirting at the outskirts of the game til Friday. I’ve been following it on mobile and definitely have thoughts, but I don’t have time to do what I normally want to do to really understand a room.

can you do like a tl;dr of just raw reads or something

[Menalque]

what is micro 840 and why does everyone seem to keep talking about it

Stop asking such meaningless questions. What do you think Micro 840 is? A new mobile/cellular type? A sandwich/meal at McDonalds?? It's a bloody game. Now go read it if you want to know what they're referencing or just ignore the reference and move on.

I kind of liked your initial SR on me bc I can see why you would think there are parallels there between my entrance here and surprise, but then this kind of brought me back down to null on you

like I think it's p obvious that I know that micro 840 is a game and that I was asking about what happened in it

I don't personally think that you think that I'm thick enough to not know what I'm asking here, and the fact that skitt got what I was on about p much straight away is proof that it was pretty obvious to anyone taking it in good faith

but then you haven't tried to crowbar this into an actual scum read on me but this still just kinda rubs me the wrong way

[Menalque]

why 15% nibbui?

[Menalque]

why 15% nibbui?

badposting

another meaningless question

are u really going to complain about the random number that i wrote to express more or less my feelings?

yeah, I wanna know why you chose that particular number if you were gonna use numbers

like why not just say "I'm feeling a little weaker on flipperz"

[Menalque]

I am lazy and I don’t have unlimited time

Why would I go read a game myself when I can get the cliffnotes? If I need to I can always check the game (and sometimes I do) so there’s a relatively strong incentive not to lie

[Menalque]

Jesus! Where do you get these from?? First "I am not thick" when I obviously wasn't implying it. Then "I am not lying" and again I have not implied it was a lie. It was meaningless because it was lazy. Period. No stupidity, deceit nor lying involved.

Ngl, I don’t think you got what I was saying at all there

[Menalque]

skittr I miss u

[Menalque]

bingle why do you think skitter is scum in one paragraph? if that's still a read you have

[Menalque]

yo

oh hi skitter, your avi and username look really different today

[Menalque]

you look much less planet-y and much more duck-like today

[Menalque]

i p much figured ducks live on planets so really my avi has been millions of ducks all along? might as well own it


(imitating skitter is hard I need coffee)

yeah that checks out

so I figure it's been a while in D1 so you prob have the solve by now yeah?

(it's the duck isn't it? tell me it's the duck)

[Menalque]

Hey guys, it’s me Blatant Scum

Time to give this game the effort it deserves

hi, teacher here, could you please give it more effort than it deserves

[Menalque]

yeah that checks out

so I figure it's been a while in D1 so you prob have the solve by now yeah?

(it's the duck isn't it? tell me it's the duck)

the duck is town actually

you're p scummy teacher

still don't think anyone should be townreading wicked for his big post unless they want to explain that to me

probably scum somewhere in {a50, bingle and me, skitter!} but i haven't solved that yet

how's your solve going? if this is your towngame i don't see it yet :/

No, I thought I told you, I'm doing content at the weekend

Are you sure about the duck, skitter30? I really thought his early content was bad. What changed your read on him?

I, teacher, will obv!town soon, so really this is outside my established scum meta unless we're talking about sorting me on post count.

I'm not sure that I think wicked's big post is particularly towny, but I don't think I scum read him more than other people. Do you not think that slot will become clearer as the game progresses? I'm more worried that if there's scum in one of the more proficient scum players and we don't lynch them today it may be hard to get this much pressure on them again later in the game when paranoia has increased exponentially.

[Menalque]

Hey skitt, I’m not super around until later, wanna talk about where your change on me came from?

[Menalque]

I'm concerned about ellitell

I mean I’m the fifth highest poster in the game, but I know that’s front loaded

I’m just a bit overgamed and so my approach is to focus in on one game at a time while keeping tabs on the others

You’re more or less right about the TRs, that is part of why I quietened down — I’m normally trying to get TR early game and then I spike up in activity under pressure which has been lacking due to what is a lack of pressure

Idk how I feel about your shift on me tbh

I can get it as understandable paranoia, but idk why this would worry you more than my early day play of defending you (which again, I kinda think you should have been more paranoid about)

[Menalque]

But you’re right about egix, so there’s that

The wagon smells funny

[Menalque]

I still think norwegian is bad vibes this game tbh

[Menalque]

Bingle boi I kinda feel like you’re trying to create associatives w me and I don’t dig it

[Menalque]

This seems like a perfectly healthy wagon to me. Do explain what’s bothering you about it Menalque and Skitter.

Skitt summed it up p well

[Menalque]

What was your egix progression Norway?

[Menalque]

VOTE: A50

[Menalque]

Why are you paranoid about scum skitt @norway

@nibbui why do you think scum!skitt is more likely to go for a compromise slot here? Also do you not think her reasons for STing teacher are valid? I don’t read skitt fabulously, but I also don’t think she’s clumsy enough to go after a broadly scummy slot when I think wicked was SR enough that she could have hard pushed there without looking bad

I’m kinda worried about teacher but I’m willing to give him the time he asked for to see what he puts out, although I’m kinda worried he’s pocketing me

[Menalque]

Why are you paranoid about scum skitt @norway

The tone in some of her posts.

Can you elaborate

I’ve got scum!skitt once before but it wasn’t through tone and I think her tone is v consistent across alignments

[Menalque]

Hmm

Nibs - town
Skitt
Norway

Drdoo - null town
Teacher
Flipperz

Ducky - null scum
Egix/wicked

Bingle - scum
A50

[Menalque]

I haven't played with scum!skitter before. It's just paranoia, i want to believe she's town since I've been wrong about her alignment when she was town in a newbie game and i heavily SR her.
I'm just wary against players with a strong scum-game and i'm not sure i want to fully trust them on D1.

I hard TR Norwegian for this and it overrides my concerns

[Menalque]

It’s earnest in a way that I doubt Norway is good enough to fake yet

[Menalque]

Meh. Not sure i agree with this assessment.
I try,but i'm not always super great at faking things as scum

I don’t think so either but I think tone is something you do imitate well as scum

I think your actions don’t line up as well with what you’re saying as scum/you make bad plays that I don’t think you’d make as town, but I think you sound more or less the same as you do so

[Menalque]

Ducky how stressed do you get playing scum normally?

[Menalque]

Duck why would you want to make it harder to read you if you’re town? That is one of the main problems I’m having with you rn and I feel like if I can get to a TR on you then this game is pretty set

[Menalque]

I get stressed out more as town than scum but it isn't really an exclusive thing. More likely to get stressed late game. Currently tryna reclaim mafia as a fun hobby which I actually enjoy rather than chase that sexy win% so I'm a lot less likely to stress across the board atm

Okay this is actually helpful I think ty

[Menalque]

It’s helpful bc I’m trying to decide if you riffing with me is something that you’d do as scum or not

I’m nulltown on nips for the fact that I townleaned him early and he hasn’t really done much to make me wanna downshift him to straight null

Also, nibs is townreading him so I’m willing to keep him there based on the two

[Menalque]

Hmm

Nibs - town
Skitt
Norway

Drdoo - null town
Teacher
Flipperz

Ducky - null scum
Egix/wicked

Bingle - scum
A50

@Menalque: Unless I know you "too well" (which I don't) I am inclined to OMGUS anyone who SRs me for no good reason. I am fine with a mild SR on me (it helps me survive the night) but to be at the very bottom of your list I need to see a damn good explanation.

1492 felt incredibly insincere

[Menalque]

Okay, bad phrasing

I’m trying to decide if it would have felt like that if you were scum or not

I mean I’m p sure it’s in my ISO but I can dig it out if you really want?

[Menalque]

@norway

Actually you got me there, I had BS and flipperz mixed up in my head because they were the other ones voting you. I liked 176 by flipperz and it’s enough for him to be town for now

Teacher I SR for tone which means he’s prob town, plus I liked him calling out the that your TR on him was bad rather than just accepting it

You’re gonna take me a little more time to explain but it’s p clearly there if you wanna read any of the posts in my ISO about you

[Menalque]

I like it in conjunction with nibs being strong on him

Drdoo had a towny catch-up but I’ve seen scum fake that before and I don’t really know drdoo we’ll enough to know if that’s in his scum range

I think teacher’s entrance was fine but he’s been lacklustre since, I’m waiting for his promises content

[Menalque]

It’s not so much as I strongly trust your reads to be good but it’s more f me trying to get better at working with my TRs rather than trying to dictate the game all the time myself

[Menalque]

how engaged w this game do you feel atm

60, maybe 70%

[Menalque]

1492 felt incredibly insincere

How so? Give me specifics.

I’ll try to give a short mobile post before I go to sleep

[Menalque]

I think 1492 seemed very LAMIST, the emotion in it seemed off as a response to skitt’s “not wanting to egix rn”, and it seemed like you were putting a lot of effort into a post that was mostly a justification for not doing anything of your own initiative

So it seems like you’re trying very hard to get people to TR you while trying to simultaneously make excuses for lacking behaviour that should make them TR you

@A50

[Menalque]

Going to sleep now

[Menalque]

i'm trying to boss people who i think might have w/w equity with bungle into voting bungle
you're town so i'm happy to leave you alone on your separate glorious adventure

but if you'd like to become skitter30 & my third adventuring pal, we'd welcome you to the party

I thought I was the third adventuring pal?

[Menalque]

VOTE: bingleberry[/b]

[Menalque]

Ffs

[Menalque]

VOTE: bingleberry

[Menalque]

So this will be like one of the cowboy movies where it’s all posse-ing and good times until we get a lil too drunk by the campfire one night and A50 let’s it slip that he’s on the bandits’ payroll and we all quickdraw and shoot him?

[Menalque]

That can work for now

[Menalque]

Duuu-DUN Duuuuuuuu-DUN

[Menalque]

@nibs whiplash is when, for example, you’re in a car accident and you get jerked forward I a crash but then pulled backwards just as hard from hitting your seatbelt

That thing of rapidly moving in one direction then another

Also I wanna reread wicked but why is that single post bad enough to override all your reasons for voting egix?

Not even saying it’s not bad but why are you suddenly so hot for this?

[Menalque]

If teacher doesnt provide good content over the weekend he's scum

Dem mind melds tho

[Menalque]

Tw i think i'm untunneled now, you might be town

Talk to me about this cause I’m still not sure?

[Menalque]

Starting to feel good about Almost50 too.

is this good scum good or town good

I think he meant

Gross

[Menalque]

Unvote. Vote: Nibbui

Every accusation you’ve made towards me has been awful awful awful

Why does that make nibs scum?

[Menalque]

Egix can you remind me why you’re SRing ducky? Was there anything outside of your meta with him?

[Menalque]

nom, could we get a poke on blatant scum pls?

[Menalque]

I wonder if you think I actually care what I sound like?

I don’t care what you sound like but I do want content from you this weekend

[Menalque]

And yes, I saw your thing saying “4pm [your] time” so I know you’re not there yet

But I don’t really care about this spat

[Menalque]

Did I say that?

I did not. I do think you’ve been provided some content but nowhere near as much as I’d expect from you. I know I tend to SR you, so I’m trying to be patient and give you time to produce something more thorough. Don’t jump down my throat because my wording was vaguely ambiguous.

Also I don’t really know what to expexd from BS/whiz (is this wicked?) but from flippy this isn’t really out of what I’d expect, so I’m less concerned from any of them

[Menalque]

I mean you're null-nulltown for me atm so idk why you're saying this? I get being frustrated and I don't think I've actively not engaged w/ you, you just haven't been around enough for me to be someone I've been actively trying to solve with

[Menalque]

duck are you perhaps a genius and i never noticed it???

absolutely not!! my brain is the size of an apricot

I'm p sure the important thing is Brian to body mass ratio

[Menalque]

so shall we play a game

it's called

will mean be sensible and go to bed

or have another glass of wine

[Menalque]

vote now!!!!

[Menalque]

I dont think wicked's last post/vote were made in good faith

why not?

[Menalque]

like specifically why wasn't it in good faith

[Menalque]

bro you're in France the decision is already made

??

ducky knows that the rouge is already hittin the bottom of the glass

[Menalque]

Ya those

Weird day, gotta go, be back later maybe

skitt when r we gonna hydra

[Menalque]

thats twice Ive seen menaphos instead of menalque -- am I missing a story?

it's ducky's pet name for me in our new romance

he's trying to seduce me away from PB

it's a whole thing

I may write a short story about it

[Menalque]

can I just say that regardless of what alignment anyone flips I really enjoy playing w/ the 3 of you

[Menalque]

oh 4 of you I guess now that nibs is here

although he does annoy me sometimes

[Menalque]

I dont think wicked's last post/vote were made in good faith

why not?

The whole thing reads like he's angry at being wagoned by ninbui so he got annoyed at him and then decided to vote him out of spite sort of

I don't really think that's necessarily a scum move tho

like I kinda think scum is more measured there. I think that particular sort of OMGUS is more likely to come from town but I wanted him to explain his motivations before he kinda vanished :/

[Menalque]

I don't think I've engaged w/ you in bad faith all game tbh nibs, you just pissed me off

I'm feeling kinda lovey rn tho so I'm on board with teacher's suggestion to fuggedaboutit

[Menalque]

is nsg known for being particularly good as scum as well as town or just as town?

[Menalque]

can I just say that regardless of what alignment anyone flips I really enjoy playing w/ the 3 of you

I enjoy you lots too Mr. Menaphos.

interesting you use the "regardless of what alignment" qualifier--feeling guilty?

yes I thought you would know this from the mafia pt bc I said the same thing there

jeez ducky you gotta keep up

[Menalque]

is nsg known for being particularly good as scum as well as town or just as town?

IIRC, she is known for town more so than scum, but is more than capable as both. I think the absence is RL and NAI.

I don't doubt that but this is just more for background info for me as I've never played w/ her

[Menalque]

Ya those

Weird day, gotta go, be back later maybe

skitt when r we gonna hydra

you wanna hydra in the pyp that's in the open queue rn

i guess i'll be in and out tonight

I literally nearly joined that because of who was in it early tonight

yeah, I'm in

[Menalque]

also i changed my mind on town!tw again, i now think he's scummy

how do you guys feel about A50? I didn't wanna push a vanity there but I really think he's got above average odds of flipping scum

also, I mistyped nearly every word in that sentence above

thank god for autocorrect

[Menalque]

i articulated the agenda later at some point (find someone who responded to him obfuscating on purpose in a way that he could push and then push them, that someone happened to be me), which he later admitted to so

teacher i am paranoid u are trying to buddy me again

what's the again in reference to? are you guys talking about a game that's not 51/53 that I WASN"T IN

[Menalque]

also this pl is seriously awesome

qft

[Menalque]

i'm trying to come up with a hydra name for you guys. i haven't read the immoralist but i can see why this character speaks to you mena.

pls do we both are not great at names apparently

also I'm kinda touched that you actually googled my name

(if you knew it without google do u actually wanna date me?)

[Menalque]

but this whole thing reads like you decided you were going to behave ~mysteriously~ and when someone reacted in a way that you found scummy you were going to push them

This is actually a fairly accurate interpretation of my intentions, yes.

here you go ^^^

wait, is this to me or to someone else?

[Menalque]

teacher i am paranoid u are trying to buddy me again

@teacher @skitt

this is the bit I was talking about, I think you both think I was talking about the first bit?

[Menalque]

i'm trying to come up with a hydra name for you guys. i haven't read the immoralist but i can see why this character speaks to you mena.

pls do we both are not great at names apparently

also I'm kinda touched that you actually googled my name

(if you knew it without google do u actually wanna date me?)

I knew it, and dont really want to date you -- but The Myth of Sisyphus is one of my all time favorite short stories. I make my 7th graders all write a paper on it.

I thought you were a married man teacher, I'm not getting mixed up in that business

I do dig sisyphus, although I prefer the plague, that's one of my all time favourite novels

[Menalque]

maybe my number 1 all time fave actually
