Open 779: Pick Your Power X/Y Game Over!

[skitter30]

Jacko reads as pretty genuine. Scum wouldn't be so clueless over the process given they would've been discussing it in the PT.

actually i'm not really sure i see that in jv here

[skitter30]

Why are you saying that i omgussed you when i was clearly basing my game here on attracting votes to see who would cast one in bad faith?

a) this was not at all obvious
b) i feel like you're trying to pick a fight with doctor drew

[skitter30]

like 1/2 are perceived as being risky by scum. i don't think they double-down and pick *two* numbers in that group

*Sorry if I randomly reply to a lot of posts, playing on mobile gives me errors*

Clarification, can scum talk during the draft? This assumes that everyone here has played this set up and would know that nuance as well, right?

Otherwise, I'm thinking choice of number wouldn't be alignment indicative, right?

a) yes scum can talk during the draft
b) idk what you mean by assuming that everyone here knows that nuance as well; scum would know that nuance when their pt was open, which is the important bit

[skitter30]

So far I'm thinking scum can be in [Farkset, Melody]

Wanna add Skitter in just as gut. I feel like her contributions to the game are mostly set up driven and not scum hunting driven.

i kinda disagree with this assessment

[skitter30]

you mentioned that theory, yet you didn't vote for the other people that picked 2. Logically you would say you are town, and hence its likely one of the other 2 are scum.
so...
skitter

i'm not saying that one of the multiples is scum, i'm saying that there's at most one scum in each set of multiples, which is not at all the same thing

(i.e. there could be 0 or 1 scum in the people who picked 1, 0 or 1 in the people who picked 2, etc)

[skitter30]

If I'm honest I think it's generally not that worth it trying to sort skitter on D1, in reference to the short chat about her on page 5. I don't think skitter falls into the zone of inherently unsortable because she's so good at scum (not knocking her game) but just that I think she's the sort of person where you're very unlikely to catch her on tone, and much more based on what she's doing in the game and how she's positioned around things later on. Also, if she's town, there's always a pretty good chance she just eats a NK

[skitter30]

Melody, I asked for scumreads and you only gave townreads...?

Also RC isn't in this game. (I'm prepared for a woooooosh if I'm missing an inside joke.)

RCEnigma's alt is in this game. I'm not outing him.

~Dawn

oh huh
this will kinda affect how i read that person

[skitter30]

i'm not vibing the aldu votes really, i don't get why they're a thing

VOTE: almidia

[JacksonVirgo]

I see Skitter as scum tbf, I'll post my replies to posts soon.

Oh? The game I played I only knew my buddies as Mafia and didn't have contact with them at all until after the Draft finished.

Why do you disagree?

@Drew:

Don's hardclaim cop post was a joke that far too many people too seriously. If it's a real cop claim and he's actually just a WIFOM-god, hats off to him.

[JacksonVirgo]

As for the smaller ones: Jackson, i lean on their entrance being genuine, which would make them town since scum should understand how the setup works after going thru the draft phase. Plus they admitted having played the setup before and still getting it wrong. it seems less likely to be a lie to me.

This seems somewhat pockety since I am a newer player compared to majority of you I assume, especially in this setup but I would have been just as confused as either alignment so sure it seems genuine but how is that AI as me being Town?

[skitter30]

idk did you play on this site?
the last two iterations i was scum in and we def had time to talk about the draft while it was ongoing

[skitter30]

Why do you disagree?

i just like don't get it, idk
he feels similar to neon mafia
i don't know why he's being scumread; or more accurately, i'm not sure he's getting scumread for anything more than playstyle/personality traits

Nah I played on a different site but the link to the setup was the one linked here.

oh?

Yeah

[skitter30]

i meant more: hi, why do you think i'm scummy here

[JacksonVirgo]

I think Skitt/Melody are partners
I have more reason to vote Melody because of their weird posts regarding my entrance and skitt is just gut as of right now and their posts have just been pinging me as anti-town in a reverse psycho kinda way I can't put my finger on it so I'll land my vote there.
VOTE: Melody

[JacksonVirgo]

OH, sorry.
I just get your posts as more manipulative and townie in a reverse-psychology way and I heard you were great at scum so I am extra cautious about each of your posts. Can't really put it into words

I feel lonely now :c

If this is genuine, it means you're town:

Man, you guys are so focused on picking numbers, I just closed my eyes and hit a button on my number pad. Confirmed second most effective method to pick a number.

Everyone is all like "Think for optimization" and I'm just like "Thinking sucks!"

I just picked a random number O.O
Was I not supposed to? Oof

As explained, scum can discuss during pregame, so they won't just submit a "random number". Currently, I'm leaning towards genuine.

What about the Dunny vote; how is that reflective of his playstyle/personality, rather than him pursuing what he thinks is scummy?
