[Menalque]

oh wow I WONDER WHO THIS COULD BE

[Menalque]

you see, ferret, it's a pun! "iconeum" has the first same four letters as "iconic" so by saying that lynching him day 1 would be iconic,

comedy

is achieved!

[Menalque]

also hi nom! have we actually ever played together before?

[Menalque]

hi skitt

[Menalque]

VOTE: quagsire

[Menalque]

VOTE: heaven

[Menalque]

U-uh, fellow gamer Mena sir, thats L-1 you're putting Heaven at.

I know

spicy isn't it

[Menalque]

why are people always so afraid of L-1s

[Menalque]

I agree about L-1’s generally, it’s a bit different when it’s unannounced and in/around RVS.

Do you scumread Heaven, Menalque?

Sure

[Menalque]

why are people always so afraid of L-1s

I've seen a lot of lolhammers in my time.

Yeah but you know why they’re called lolhammers

Bc they’re funsies

[Menalque]

just getting him closer to heaven

what if heaven actually went to hell?

Only one way to find out!

[Menalque]

Why don’t you revote and then if someone lolhammers we can decide if it was funny or an accident or both!

[Menalque]

Oh no, people voting me whatever shall I do

[Menalque]

also you feel p weird here

Y

[Menalque]

Why do you scumread Heaven, Menalque?

it's a tone thing, just feels kind of awkward

[Menalque]

hi aldus!

[Menalque]

hmmmm
tentative townpings on heaven

from where ?

[Menalque]

you're being more like ~cavalier~ than i'm used to. like not caring about consequences as much i guess.

is that more likely behaviour from scum!me or town!me?

[Menalque]

Btw apparently I’m watching a lot of videos on youtube that suggest that women manipulate men and shame them.
Personally, I hate all kinds of people. I think Men only care about their dicks and that Women are just manipulative people who only care bout their self-interests. Like legit, all the stories I heard about men are awful and I’m also awful because I biologically am male. But also, every white girl in HS I interacted with and was even remotely attractive was a complete fucking bitch to me and my friends.

#stonedalithoughts

What the fuck?

...actually, what the fuck is that entire first page?

this was really out of nowhere emotional escalation

Nice to see skitter again after she gave me a heart attack last time I played scum and nom3, who inherited that heart attack.

Luckily, my scum abilities have doubled since last we met. Not that it's relevant, or anything.

this feels like it's leaning a little too hard into the "fake claiming scum as scum" joke

[Menalque]

i have literally no idea since i've never seen it before.
hence weird

okay but like in general, what which alignment do you think cares more about perceptions

[Menalque]

Did you actually just open your role pm to find a scum role pm and then decide to lolcat
Because thats really what this feels like tbh

why?

[Menalque]

let's all VOTE: iconeum for an

iconic

D1 lynch!

this is just a personal note but this kind of rvs post/vote is scummy as fuck

why?

[Menalque]

the whole point of rvs is that for scums the first vote is never random
so voting someone's that's not in the game and saying "haha it's just a joke guys" is kind of a red flag and just sounds like scum avoiding any kind of association

why is it not random for scum?

I mean I mostly RVS however I like, and in this case it was an in-joke with datisi

[Menalque]

as in, me, her, and icon have played a lot of games together at this point and my standard intro in any game with icon in it is that one

and this is like the first game in a while that I think only 2 of us have been involved in

[Menalque]

because they know who other scums are
so by definition it is an informed decision

you're presuming that scum would change their intro based on what they rand

[Menalque]

this was really out of nowhere emotional escalation

also it's not an emotional escalation?
i dont' get what your problem is here really

it's like ~charged~ but it's coming from nowhere and that just feels off

idk if I can explain it more than that

[Menalque]

there's a certain level of forthrightness / 'not caring about how i'm perceived' in that post that was entirely lacking in that micro
and given that i caught him in like the 5 posts he'd made when i repped in for having an awkward tone ... if he were scum here i'd expect an awkward/forced tone again, especially when he was talking about that game, given how he's said he hasn't played since

what was the micro?

[Menalque]

rn you're feeling like scum caught for the wrong reasons

y tho

[Menalque]

@skitt @furret what are your opinions on nomx3's scumgame?

[Menalque]

@skitt @furret what are your opinions on nomx3's scumgame?

do you scumread her

maybe

I don't really have a baseline for expectations of whether this is scummy behaviour from her or if she tends to be reachy as town

[Menalque]

can u answer the question furret

[Menalque]

Subject: Micro 889 | Good Jams Mafia | GAME OVER

ok holden is a decent townread
getting gut-town pings on blatant scum

if volxen never posts wobat is probably scum
heaven is pinging me the wrong way

wherein i caught both scum upon catching up upon repping in

if you continue reading my iso my main cause against heaven was that his posts were weirdly awkward

okay, point taken his tone is really different there

do you not think that if he was caught on tone there he would play differently now tho? that does shake me off it

UNVOTE:

[Menalque]

@skitt @furret what are your opinions on nomx3's scumgame?

really good scumgame, good at ate, i'm not super great at catching her
i think we only had games where she was scum
one i was super pocketed and she endgamed me
the other was the micro i just linked wherein she repped heaven when he repped out. i was pushing the slot but mainly because of heaven; nom couldn't turn it around at that point

okay, do you think she's subtle as scum or is her range large enough that she'd be reachy and then argue it was outside scumrange?

[Menalque]

like I think her push here is rly bad but I think it's possibly beyond bad for scum!her to make

[Menalque]

mena's heaven l-1 thing was weird

just one more point on this: I think you maybe underestimate how much I play based on what I feel like doing

[Menalque]

where you at aldus

come forth to be sorted

[Menalque]

VOTE: noms

?

[Menalque]

what, their push on me?

[Menalque]

I mean I think it's bad but not convinced it's scum!bad yet

[Menalque]

esp given the lack of content from about half the slots in the game

[Menalque]

I know we haven't played a lot together but you also seem weirdly passive

[Menalque]

I mean I think it's bad but not convinced it's scum!bad yet

go on

that's my line

but also, as stated, it's like stupidly reachy

I don't see it going anywhere based on "this RVS is really bad and scummy and trying to avoid associations" even with me fucking around with the heaven wagon and putting it at L-1

so I doubt nom thinks she could actually get me mislynched here, which makes it at the very least WIFOM to try and actually push me based on what she's pushing me on. if skirt's right and she has a very wide scumrange it's possible, but if she's town and does just make weird reads/bad reads then it's also possible from town her

[Menalque]

idk I wanna sort through (aldus, Luca, looker, quagsire) before trying to decide if nomx3 is actually scummy here

[Menalque]

yo nom what do you think of quagsire?

[Menalque]

that seems odd to me

[Menalque]

why do you think I'm scummy for RVSing someone not in the game if the underlying logic for the scumminess there is that it's avoiding associations, yet not have any thoughts on quagsire when they've avoided producing any content beyond votes thus far?

[Menalque]

that same exact rvs/

terrible joke

wonderful pun across multiple games,

Ftfy

[Menalque]

Have we played together a lot quagsire?

yeah sounds like I missed your entrance posting style shift or something
is there any reason why you started doing this or do you just feel like it

I literally open however I feel like regardless of alignment bc it’s RVS and pretty much meaningless

[Menalque]

Can we not

[Menalque]

Lowkey wondering about something like Luca/aldus

[Menalque]

Here it is.

VOTE: Looker

How original

Payback's a VOTE: nomnomnom

But, seriously, though
S{Quag | Heaven/Nom | Aldus/Skitter/Menal | Captain/Luca}T

Whats your read on quag, looker?

[Menalque]

Nom, please stop AtEing it’s not really helpful for reading you and just makes the game unpleasant to be in

Yeah I get that mafia can be heated, but could you like, leave thread for a bit if you’re getting upset? I know it happens bc it happens to me too, but it’s going to be a problem if it keeps happening throughout esp if it’s just in response to you being scumread

[Menalque]

I feel like nomx3 has a lot of chaotic energy in her

[Menalque]

Which I like tbh

[Menalque]

@nom I’m the same so like I get it but it also just kills the game

What do you think of looker/Luca now?

[Menalque]

Tentatively:

Quagsire
Heaven

Skitt
Nomx3
Looker

Furret

Aldus
Luca

[Menalque]

Stronger on the top two town than on luca/aldus specifically as scum tho

[Menalque]

VOTE: luca

[Menalque]

Actually looker should probably be above skitt and nomx3

Nom makes a good point that he’s much more in his town meta than scum meta atm

[Menalque]

I really liked his attempt to defuse tensions between us when I think as scum he could have picked a side/leant into it/just stayed out of it and let is spiral as we clashed

[Menalque]

I would like them to do more to get to a higher confidence level on that but I think they were very town motivated in doing that

[Menalque]

I agree Luca comes across opportunistic this game but also like, not obviously town? Whereas I think Luca as town normally reads very obviously town

I can wait on him to see if he turns it on but like rn that seems good

Aldus is suspiciously quiet and I kind of didn’t like his tone

[Menalque]

Mena what's your read on Skitt so far
and why is she higher in your list than furret

Furret has just done nothing imo

I liked skitt, again, for defusing heaven!wagon

Cause I think she’s right that heaven is very different tonally in that scumgsme and I think the argument that he wouldn’t be able to improve his tone that much by now without playing a lot is quite valid. And like she didn’t have to do that at all so she gets +town from me for that. She’s also called me on the stuff I expected and while I’m not mindmelding with her /that/ much yet I feel it a lil bit which is also generally +town for her

I don’t wanna lock her in or anything, this is within her range but so far I think she’s been much more positive than negative and I don’t really see an agenda from her yet

[Menalque]

Furret why don’t you feel solve-y yet?

[Menalque]

hmmmmm yeah that sounds about right
I always feel scared of calling skitt town lol
She's kind of a scary one let's be honest here

I have a foolproof approach

Lock her as town every game until proven otherwise

[Menalque]

I disagree on furret for my own reasons though
would call furret town easier than skit right now

Okay, how come?

[Menalque]

289 is actually a surprisingly effective way of approaching skitt I think although I’m sure scum!her is gonna find a way to break it p soon

[Menalque]

Furret why don’t you feel solve-y yet?

game sucks

You also don’t feel spicy yet

Why does the game suck

How can it not suck for you

[Menalque]

Does anyone remember if captain the furret prefers scum or town? I wanna say scum in which case their apathy here is maybe slight +town?

[Menalque]

You fool!
Such heresy!!!!
pedit: I just feel he comes across as town much more than skitt, but again that may be because I have a hard time trusting skitt despite my research on how she plays

Can u talk a bit about what it is that makes you think furret comes across more as town than skitt? I don’t see it

[Menalque]

Like aside from paranoia about “skitt is rly good as scum so this is within her scumrange” I don’t think there’s anything skitt has done yet that seems like it comes from a scum mindset (*prepsring for horrendous egg on face postgame)

Whereas I just want like, a lot more from furret and don’t see anything e’s done as town yet

[Menalque]

Whats your read on me now furret?

[Menalque]

Ugh we gave datisi a pagetop, we’ve all lost really, regardless of who wins

[Menalque]

Furret what pronouns should I be using for you in this game?

[Menalque]

In this kind of gamestate it's easy to justify a vote/lynch on me yet furret is trying to analyze the situation and come to his own conclusion
I think that's pro-town

Okay, I’ll think about it

I kind of don’t think scum would want to jump on your wagon too much tho as if you got flipped it would look bad so that gives me somewhat lower faith there

Can shelve it for now

[Menalque]

i'm sorry i'll try really hard to catch up before i go to sleep but i'm not sure i'll be able to

Chill skitt, you have time, no pressure look after yourself first

[Menalque]

Luca why no speaky conmigo when you’re replying to posts after my calling you scum?

[Menalque]

Luca why no speaky conmigo when you’re replying to posts after my calling you scum?

Just skimming through.

I’m puzzled as to how you read Nom as more Town from that interaction tbh.

Nom felt more like ~*wrong*~ about me and she feels solvey now

Whereas I do think you felt very opportunistic in hopping on her there.

I mean a lot of people were calling her scum or scummy so it could be that you just saw the same but it felt weird man

[Menalque]

Also I think you’re very capable of obvtowning when town and you haven’t yet

[Menalque]

You’re openwolfing. Town!Nom would not want to 1v1 someone over this lol

When I say Town!Nom in that sense I kind of mean any reasonable player (which I believe you are).

No reasonable town player would want to 1v1 me based on your reasoning.

Didn’t like these either really

[Menalque]

Like I don’t think anyone is liable to be open wolfing there so it’s like more confidence than I think you have the right to express in nom!scum

The second one is like idk, just seems weird. Like putting the focus on bad reasoning as the thing that makes nomx3 scummy when I think bad reasoning is just as likely to come from town as scum (or almost)

[Menalque]

I mean hopping on doesn’t necessarily have to be a vote — also, you did end up voting her?

And I already said that I think that’s a possibility in a town!you world, I’m just not seeing that yet

[Menalque]

1) you’ve got this backwards. Can’t you see she is the one with the unwarranted confidence that I’m scum? She’s the one who initiated the 1v1 based on completely fabricated reasons. I honestly can’t see any reasonable Town player doing that and it feels like desperate scum.

2) again you’re missing the point. It’s not just the bad reasoning, it’s wanting to 1v1 based on her reasoning.

Imma bout to go to bed bc it’s fuckin late. Tell you what, I’ll check again tomorrow but that wasn’t the vibe I got tonight

[Menalque]

I mean hopping on doesn’t necessarily have to be a vote — also, you did end up voting her?

And I already said that I think that’s a possibility in a town!you world, I’m just not seeing that yet

I voted her when she basically confirmed to me she’s scum.

This also feels obscenely overconfident in your scumread on her

[Menalque]

Which is another thing I don’t really remember having seen in town you before

Do need to check against your scum!meta tho

[Menalque]

I’m only able to phone post this game so I can’t chuck quotes together too easily. Later when I have more time I’ll go over again why Nom is obvscum.

Okay, I’ll await this

Meantime, vote stays and also goodnight!

[Menalque]

Why are people reading quags as scum?

[Menalque]

I need to catch up from what happened overnight and I think I have a cold so I feel like shit

But quag is like one of my top townreads, I think aldus could be scum

[Menalque]

Also I’m p sure I talked you through all my reads last night nom?
