Mini Normal 2118: Boon Gets Pretentious - [Day 4]

[Pretentious]

Wimpy has requested replacement.

[clidd]

Good, so he's truly town. Thanks for the contribution.

[clidd]

Current read

s>

Locktown:

Luca Blight, Insomnia, Wimpy.

Indicative town

: Aaron Frost, Ame.

Unsure:

Emperor flippyNips, Dsjstr, Hectic.

[clidd]

As long as we vote Emperor, Dsjstr or Hectic today, we're good.

VOTE: Emperor FlippyNips

[Hectic]

And

Wimpy

is getting the game dirty to read, I would consider a modkill here, so we can stop the progressive loss of IQ. Being offended by something so ridiculous is very superficial.

[Hectic]

Clidd, I don't understand your solving process this game. How did you go from Wimpy "unsure" to Wimpy "locktown" because he requested a replacement? What? The reads I'm used to seeing from you usually aren't as shallow as the reasons you're locktowning Wimpy/Luca.

VOTE: clidd

[Hectic]

Also, could you explain why I'm in your "Unsure" category?

[Luca Blight]

Luca, what does scum!Flippo look like? And why do you SR me?

Wimpo, am I right in assuming you think clidd is town despite pushing you?

Scum!Flippy tries to look good. Town!Flippy does whatever. This is exactly the same as Town Flippy from my experience with him.

I'll get onto why I SR you in a bit.

VOTE: clidd

I'm being more direct in this game, because I wanted to see how far Wimpy's "anger" would go. A scum would not come out that way. You're unsure by PoE.

[Luca Blight]

As long as we vote Emperor, Dsjstr or Hectic today, we're good.

VOTE: Emperor FlippyNips

If you truly TR me then trust my read on Flips.

I think dsjstr is Town as well. Hectic is a decent option, although I need to review.

[clidd]

Ok, i will.

UNVOTE: Emperor FlippyNips

[clidd]

You have good reads from what i saw. But Dsjstr stills scum from my list.

[Luca Blight]

Insomnia could be scum this game, I'm not really vibing with anything he's saying.

[dsjstr]

Luca, what does scum!Flippo look like? And why do you SR me?

Wimpo, am I right in assuming you think clidd is town despite pushing you?

Scum!Flippy tries to look good. Town!Flippy does whatever. This is exactly the same as Town Flippy from my experience with him.

I'll get onto why I SR you in a bit.

Flippy has been trying to make himself look good.

[Luca Blight]

Nah, suddenly changing his mind on someone (like he did with Ame) is something he doesn't really do as scum. He's more careful.

[clidd]

I sympathize with Insomnia's efforts, I don't see him as scum here.

[Ame]

Nah, suddenly changing his mind on someone (like he did with Ame) is something he doesn't really do as scum. He's more careful.

I feel like he changed it because he was pressured to do so. It didn't feel like he was trying to figure me out before.

[Luca Blight]

364 pings me. I feel like he's been overdefending Ame, and then goes onto to SR me partly based on pointing out his reason for TR'ing Ame isn't necessarily valid, because apparently as Town I wouldn't point out such a thing, which is nonsense. then in 368 he wants to '[lynch] Luca or Flippy' which is strange to me, because he appeared to TR me early on but now suddenly wants me lynched based on such reasoning?

It seems like a manufactured SR.

[Luca Blight]

It's also weird to me how he hasn't confronted Clidd on his reasons for TR'ing me, and ignored Clidd's 'go easy on Luca, he's Town' post after his 364 and before his 368.

[Pretentious]

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME STRAIGHT UTTER CARNAL KARNAGE?!?!? Because Karnage replaces Wimpy.

[Luca Blight]

Clidd is probably Town for now just by the fact he's actively contributing.

VOTE: Insomnia

I'll try this for size.

[Karnage]

Going to start reading tonight. Hope to be caught up tomorrow morning. Anything I should know?

[Ame]

Are y'all just like coldhearted mafia consumers? To me, mafia is a social game, and I enjoy making friends in the process.

How were my RQS answers?

Felt bad that no one answered Ame's questions, so:

• What is the origin of your name?
  
• Do you like being scum, huh?
  Do you enjoy your scumminess? Do you revel in it like some sort of sick fast-food worker, who despite being sick is forced to come into work anyway because they aren't offered paid sick leave and need every working hour they can get just to get by?
  
  
• If Wimpy was driving a burger-mobile from the North, Aaron, electric banana skates from the South, Insomnia, a baseless read from the West, and Luca, a golden chariot
  from the East
  also from the West, who would you vote for?
  
• If Wednesday?
  
• Are you ready to join the town corpse...I mean Corps!?

1) Landed on "Hectic" as an online name more than a decade ago. I like it.
2) Absolutely. I relish being scum, and you'll often find me replacing out of games where I roll town. What's the point of playing mafia if you don't get to lie to your friends?
3) I'd vote for Ame driving in with the RQS from the East.
4) It's the horse's name?
5) I need a list of benefits first.

This exceeds the passing threshold. Please proceed to the extermination chamber for further processing.

In your case, I did get an initial town impression from you, and having ~3 scum leans in a 2-scum game I felt comfortable enough working with that, and that if you were scum, it would show in time through your reads (i.e. if they started to radically diverge and I couldn't follow your thought process).

I had a bit of doubt from your Aaron push because Aaron seemed pretty town to me, and at the time of Wimpy's antagonizing explanation, I felt you were worth exploring.

What I thought to be a sudden change in your Aaron read was suspicious to me, but looking at you closer I saw that you did actually express those thoughts before. This made me feel a lot better and it was consistent with my thinking that town somni = similar reads. When I went to bed, my only lingering concern was your Wimpy read (I had intended to question it when I was back), and even that was addressed on its own. So, overall, yea I do TR you.

At what point in this thought process did the insomnia vote come in?

The colored part. Aaron was my only town read at the time. Insomnia was more of an impression. Wimpy's points about Insomnia not reacting to his antagonism made sense to me and I felt that avenue was worth exploring.

@Ame can i see your actual reads ?

I don't have strong reads at the moment. Currently, from towniest to most suspicious, my impressions are something like: Clidd > dsjstr > Aaron > Insomnia > Wimpy > Hectic > Luca > Flippy

Earlier today I was feeling stronger about Luca because his interaction with me came off as less curt than I'd expect, which gave me the impression that he was treading lightly. The reasoning in #342 is also suspicious to me. Luca claims that he felt better about me by 84, but I hadn't done anything differently. I was still joking around. This reinforces my initial suspicion that his reasoning for voting me wasn't genuine and that he's only making this claim to justify his switch to Clidd. That being said, he's currently trending up from this last page, particularly from his request for Clidd to switch from Flippy, which doesn't seem a probable scum move.

Aaron is trending down for seemingly not comprehending my sarcasm, which is just weird.

I'm paranoid of Insomnia. I'm not quite sure what about my post was so townie.

djstr's approach to the flippy wagon reads town to me.

Clidd seems like he believes his reads and I like his tone.

I still think Wimpy could have been emulating his tunnel. If he really felt the way he did, I'll be disappointed. This is another reason why I'm wary of Insomnia, for ~clearing Wimpy in 364 and 375. I think it's very possible Wimpy was mimicking the type of behavior he is town read for. That being said, I do think he's more likely town than not.

I don't feel one way or the other about Hectic. He's only on the lower end because of how I feel about those above. I did have a hypothesis that only scum would take the time to answer my opening questions, but I'm not going to use that against him. If he does flip scum, however, I'm definitely going to use this for a future game :3

[Luca Blight]

I felt better by your 84 because it seemed a healthy reaction to my SR, without trying too hard to appease or fight against what I had said.

I then was pinged again when it seemed as though you weren't actually joking about being 'mean' in your entrance post.

[Ame]

Got it.
