Mini 2127 - Fairly Special [Game Over]

[alimdia]

Could we have a votecount

God

Mod?

[alimdia]

Adorable does look a bit frailing, and her defence has a bit of WIFOM in there, but there is quite a bit of scummy people on her wagon at this point.

[Chronos]

Er Chronos your reasoning for Adorable being 'not wolf' is kinda off. Since it seems like its based off WIFOMing (kinda)

Fair game, it's all anecdotal anyway. Can't really help you with that, I just wanted it to be out there.

There are certainly other slots more worthy of lynching based on their actual content right now, so I'd rather wait in case Adorable is actually town that wanted to make a spectacular entrance and push.

[Chronos]

Ok, truth be told, I'm not that confident in my Adorable read and could be wrong, but I'd just not want them to die today so I have more time sorting them.

[Titus]

VOTE: STRQ

Ok, I just can't sit on Adorable any longer when I can't fit him on my scumteam.

[BP]

Sorry everyone. Personal emergency corona-related. Will try to update on the game within the next 12-16 hours.

[TemporalLich]

VC 1.5

Team STRQ (4) - Rabid Schnauzer, Chronos, Adorable, Titus
Adorable (3) - mastina, Team STRQ, eyestott
Chronos (2) - BP, EspressoPatronum
EspressoPatronum (1) - Egix96
eyestott (1) - alimdia

Not voting: BSG, Shadowlesscloud

With 13 alive it takes 7 to lynch.

Day 1 will end in (expired on 2020-04-02 21:40:44) or when a lynch is reached.

[Titus]

Sorry everyone. Personal emergency corona-related. Will try to update on the game within the next 12-16 hours.

Personal sympathies.

[Team STRQ]

[Titus]

You can still vote BP or EP and follow me.

[Team STRQ]

Remind my head why ep is scum?

[Egix96]

Hey Egix, who is your favourite Avenger? Mine’s Captain America.

*Shrug* I actually don't have one. I'm not much of a Marvel person.

===

Okay, now on to the more important stuff:

Egix96

Ok, upon a re-view, this looks like a solid slot for scum contenders. Their first vote is actually horrendous.

(1) It creates a dichotomy between me and EP, calling both our votes bad.

My gripe with this sentence :

I was actually going to vote for the hydra, but I saw Ank's profile pic in there +

didn't want her to think I have a vendetta against her from TM20.

I picked BSG bcz I don't know what it stands for.

VOTE: EspressoPatronum

No way a civilian thinks that much about his entrance and an rvs vote yada yada yeeeeee

Not a fan of that entrance. VOTE: Chronos

Nah, I think that 24 is clearly worse.

I don't see why Patronum should be so concerned with (highlighted). To me it reads as scum not wanting to stick their foot in it.

VOTE: Patronum

Is that, it's kind of goofy thought process.

(2) A wolf, if they were afraid, would most likely not even mention it. I have trouble parsing this as a legit town PoV, if you think they are afraid of a certain push on a slot, wouldn't you think they would just...not do it?

His #136 is mostly done to refute my argument for town reading Adorable, but he brings nothing of value to the table.

I just found it strange that Alim happened to start suspecting the same person who asked him to give a read.

I actually don't buy this, at all. In what world does Egix think, from a town!PoV, that a wolf would turn on the person that they town read? What was so suspicious about it? Eyestott didn't even like, call alimdia out or anything, so

(3) why would you find it strange that alimdia started scum leaning eyestott, someone that was town reading alimdia?

A lot of Egix's thoughts don't really make much sense from a town PoV, I feel as though this would be a go-to slot for a cfd or something like that. There's no progression, the reads are mostly made to reflect a certain action that devoid of context is scummy, but there isn't a natural, flowing progression that reaches that spot.

Also, he fits the archetype of scum lurker, they feel as though they need to regain high ground in the thread and stand out, which is what these votes and suspicions are doing. A town lurker would take their time analysing everything, whereas, a scum lurker only has an interest of looking good when coming back to the thread, looking like they're actively contributing despite being gone, because they are thinking they'd look really bad if they've done no hunting or anything.

Definitely a solid vote.

1: I can only presume that you are misinterpreting my "clearly worse" comment? It's supposed to be comparing bad to good, not bad to not-as-bad.

2: This is quite a departure from what you said yourself in post 40. Why do you have trouble parsing my, as you put it, "goofy" thought process, when the first clause of it is, I'm willing to admit, so similar to yours?

3: Strange as in curious, not as in scummy.

Okay but what do

you

think? Is eyestott scummy or not. Why does him asking me about my reads mean I can't say he is scummy after reading his ISO?

What does it mean 'find it strange'. Are you just throwing shade at me on the side?

So far you have decided to just sit on a fence and poke little questions at people, but I want to know what your plan is.

Like another example is this. You point this out but whats the conclusion here. Seems like you are soft discrediting Chronos's defence on Adora without committing.

-snip-

Tell me your reads on the following people, who have by far taken over the game (in terms of attention)
Adorable
STRQ
Chronos

- I have him as null-scum aorn.

- See 3: above.

- My usual modus operandi for Day 1 is mainly to comment on things that catch my attention, or which address me directly. I don't tend to have an actual "plan" in mind until later on.

- "Doesn't seem like the whole 'newbtown' thing applies here iyam." essentially was the conclusion at that stage. Or, to put it another way, don't townread Ador for looking like new!town, because she's not new.

===

I don't think that Ador made a good first impression, but I haven't had a good opportunity to examine her more recent posts yet.

My gut says that Strq is town. Solid reasoning, I know, but that's my gun-to-head answer.

Chronos reads as tunnelly town to me, as is exemplified by the closing section of post 122.

[Chronos]

I just gave reads on 5 other players, so no, I am not tunneling.

Also, I accused EP of having overthought his opening, while you accused him of not wanting to stick their foot in.

Where’s the similarity?

[Chronos]

VOTE: Egix96

Takes every cell in my body to move to this but it’s the more rational choice.

STRQ still scum but they’re not getting lynched, at least not today.

[Chronos]

Egix / STRQ / eyestott / mastina

Good slots to look into.

[Team STRQ]

We're fine being invest'd n1

-Q

[EspressoPatronum]

Small favour to ask of the Raven head before it becomes an issue. Can you pay more attention to your tone?

Adorable's alignment and/or play is not an excuse to treat her poorly.

[EspressoPatronum]

I completely agree with the first half of this.
VOTE: Egix

Regarding the second half. Is your meta/archetype read based on this game alone, or have you played other games with Egix?

[EspressoPatronum]

Liking alimdia's content on p9. Town read there.

[EspressoPatronum]

How do people sort hydras in a readslist? Sort by head, or do you individually sort outside of a list then combine them into one for the readslist?

[EspressoPatronum]

Here's where I'm at rn.

Town
Alimdia
Mastina*

Townlean
Chronos
Adorable
STRQ**
Eyestott

Null (no order)
BP
BSG
Rabid Schauzer Clover Ebi
Shadowlesscloud

Scum
Titus
Egix


*But I'm still a little confused with the mod's *dancing in the night* thing from earlier. If that's role-based info, I'd drop mastina down to around null. If that's just TL chiming into the convo, then I'd keep her at town.

**Really liking Tai's content. Q seems townlean. Summer is more null. Raven is nullscum, but I'm pretty sure that's due to a bias on tone dropping him lower.

Happy to discuss reads when I'm back in later.
