okay, caught up.

for ruining it.

[Layla]

I'll be back tomorrow.
Right now I'm occupied with this shiny new Pokemon game.

[Gamma Emerald]

i have a weird gut feeling we hit scum in Tea for completely wrong reasons and now we’re in a holding pattern because scum’s awkward.

I don’t actually have a Tea read myself

Actually re-reading the game. This post is BIG yikes! Holy shit.

Explain?

It's a bad post because Leaf is lightly shading Tea by claiming we "hit scum" and it's only the reasoning behind the wagon that's not good enough. Yet at the same time he claims he has no opinion on Tea at all. If so:

1: Why claim the wagon "hit scum" if he apparently doesn't have any opinion about Tea's alignment.
2: Why is he sure we "hit scum" in the first place. What sort of logic is he thinking here?
3: Does town have any reason to make this post? This seems like the sort of post scum makes to encourage a wagon on town, but not wanting to take any responsibility for the outcome.

Yeah I agree that it’s kinda weird to have that kind of opinion on a wagon you don’t have a read on. My main concern is whether there is scum motivation in it, which you sorta lay out here.
VOTE: Emperor Flavor Leaf
I think I’m on board with this

I've been waiting for Nomination Mafia to end

I'm pretty sure PMysterious is town and I think it's fairly likely Norwegian is playing similarly to how he played there.

You shouldn't refer to ongoing games.

That’s what he was avoiding :thonk:

[Tea]

Considering that it's over, all I have to say is... ok

[davesaz]

Sorry, I didn't interpret that right. There is an implied 2nd sentence "now that it is over I can now say" ... that didn't click.

okay, caught up.

Don't get this -- ruining what?

Good news: not drowning in stuff.
Bad news: not much spicy to guess at motivations from.

So taking a cursory glance at the game, I have a few developing reads, but not much yet. In general I really hate Day 1 and do much better on Day 2 and onward, because I have solid information to work with.

Before I post my reads I have a question because it's not clear: are we dealing with more than one Scum faction? Because the way I read it in the OP it feels like there being two Scum factions is definitely possible.

[Wake1]

With Norwegian I'm not really sure on him one way or another. I didn't like how he kind of avoided answering that question in #46, but beyond that he hasn't really tripped my radar.

[Wake1]

As for

Vorkuta

, I don't really like how he jumped on Flavor's wagon in #18. Then in #55 he voted Layla and said her vote seemed opportunistic, yet his vote itself (to me) felt opportunistic. Lastly in #131 he wants votes on Flavor Leaf (Papa Leaf?) but he doesn't vote FL but Tea instead. These 3 events make me slightly Scumread him currently.

VOTE: Vorkuta

[Wake1]

I noticed that Reund doesn't support Layla's wagon in #103, so if Vork flips Scum and Layla flips Town I'll revisit this later.

[Wake1]

Likewise, Fish Townreads Vorkuta in #205. If Vork flips Scum I will be taking a closer look at Fish.

[Wake1]

Currently I don't understand the wagon on Tea.

Could it be boiled down for me please?

[Vorkuta]

said her vote seemed opportunistic

your own wagon hop

yes

[NorwegianboyEE]

Vork do you have an opinion on the game so far?

Idk. Btw if anyone thinks mod meta might help just a note that the one who originally created the setup was pienyan. I know she has at least 2 games modding experience by the fact I saw she had modded a large in 2017

2. The following is public knowledge: the setup consists of a Town faction versus a single groupscum faction, where "groupscum" is defined as having more than one player. It is not public knowledge whether other alignments exist in the game.

Pretty sure it's only one scum faction given the wording. Scum being defined as having "more than one player" is especially noteworthy, and it makes me think there might be a serial killer. Or maybe just two scum teams with one of them having only one member, but that's functionally the same unless they have any extra modifiers or something.

[splitfarvle]

It's wasn't just the lack of a vote from Nor fool, it was him waiting until someone else voted for a player he found scummy before hopping on the wagon.

Ok i’ll shoot first and ask questions later from now on.
AMERICAN STYLE!

But that's not what you did. You shaded Layla at 30, you didnt ask a question, you shot. Maybe with a water gun but you fired the shot before asking the clarifying question.
She responded to your shade as though it were a question and you originally said it was NAI based on her explanation.
Then post 30, Gamma says your 30 reasoning seems valid, so all of a sudden, you do a 180 on your NAI reasoning say scum could make that excuse and vote Layla. This is already after splitfarvle voted you for not voting when you had provided some reasoning on something.

VOTE: Norskie

@Splitfarvle, can you explain your 35 a bit, I think I'm interpreting it correctly but I want to make sure.

It seems odd to me that there would be a serious push in the middle of rvs without a serious vote. It looks like scum trying to spread suspicion without committing to the read. It could be a soft bus but it’s probably dumb to speculate about that without any flips.

UNVOTE:

The speed at which the Tea wagon built up and the little resistance it had is definitely something worth noting. It makes me think that scum either found an opportunity to hop on an early wagon, or found an early opportunity to distance from their partner. I'm gonna take a look at all the people who voted for Tea.

I don’t actually have a Tea read myself

Making a mental note that Flavor Leaf was voting Tea when he posted this.

What’s your take on the Tea wagon?
