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

[skitter30]

He was much more proactive than here

and i would say the disengagement is a scumtrait for him rather than towny

no he wasn't
i think the fact that he's comfortable shitposting is town indicative

[skitter30]

if aldus were scum, his scumpartners would agree with skitter that he's town? that's what she said, no?

yeah like this is an unpopular opinion and the fact that it remains so implies to me that scum are quite happy with this

[Farkset]

if aldus were scum, his scumpartners would agree with skitter that he's town? that's what she said, no?

Do you think they would whiteknight their partner, or more like nullread/ignore him and hope that TvT fights solve their problem? I mean... i don't understand the hardtownread. I don't even know if scum!skitter would do that to a scumbuddy. I have seen scum!skitter has a minor tendency to TMI people town though, she has done that on me in our game together. But that was a newbie game, and also skitter was very different than this there, which is why i'm not fond of scumreading her right now. I do know that she's wrong on several accounts though, and that's... concerning - i think she might be wrong because she's missing pieces of information that the top pickers might have.

also it's more like ... idk if i hardtownread him so much as the reasons for voting him are universally awful

what else am i missing here?

[Datisi]

i don't know? i'm saying that's skitter's reasoning for aldus town. i didn't say anything about agreeing or disagreeing. i don't want to lynch either of them today, that's as deep as i thought about it.

Mostly talking about how and why you were wrong when you scumread me - you failed to pick up my play, which is also why i suggested rereading my ISO

Why not?

Also your vote is still on pepper, i don't think that would be a correct choice for today - can i invite you to switch your vote to something more appealing? I'd really like to work with the rest of the town rather than going the ego route - if you don't like the highest wagons please build a valid alternative case

-Farkran

[Datisi]

i'm completely checked out of this game, fark, gimme a break. pepper was annoying me because i feel like his push on "datisi you're not playing the same as in this one game that we played together in which you were town" is genuinely bullshit but i get that that maybe comes from town. maybe. my vote feels fine there atm.

what even are the highest wagons right now?

[skitter30]

i feel like dat's annoyance is low-key townie for him

[Farkset]

Me, melody and aldus

-Farkran

Nvm, i'm not longer a high wagon, last VC is wrong and Cat switched away

[Farkset]

...i guess that leaves only Aldus since i think i am at 1 vote and melody has 2.

Aldus has a whoppingly high count of 3: Melody, Cat, Farkset

-Farkran

[skitter30]

like there's nothing about those three votes that gives me warm and fuzzy feelings

[Datisi]

i guess out of the three i'd go melody? i'm not exactly Feeling It though. sorry to parrot you, skit.

[Farkset]

like there's nothing about those three votes that gives me warm and fuzzy feelings

So skitter, let's continue down this road for a while and see where we get

Do you think those 3 votes are exactly the scumteam?

-Farkran

[skitter30]

No, but i dont feel great about any of you
(And that was never my argument either)

[Farkset]

No, but i dont feel great about any of you
(And that was never my argument either)

Ok then, what's scum doing in this game if those 3 aren't the scumteam?

-Farkran

[skitter30]

i think that at least one scum is supporting this

and that question is hard to answer given that approximately half the game is doing nothing

[Farkset]

i think that at least one scum is supporting this

and that question is hard to answer given that approximately half the game is doing nothing

Then we agree that scum could be in the lurkers, which leads us to the next point

What do you think of clemency/iconeum slot? Almost nobody has spoken about it, which is weird since the lurkiest of slots is often attacked when town doesn't know what to do.

-Farkran

[skitter30]

utterly null

[Farkset]

Ok, i'm done questioning

My lynchpool for today is still aldus, drdrew and clemency slot

I don't feel like lynching melody anymore

Also there's a sudden power outage due to bad weather here so i'll see you later

[DonCorleone]

What do you think about Aldus, DC?

I mean looking in ISO I think he is trying albeit still lurky. I liked one of his interactions with datisi, where he said something about how if she's going to scumread him for caring then he's going to scumread her for not caring enough, and I like that he was with me on Dunn even though I've come around on that.

I don't really get the melody vote which seemed like a limp on, but equally idk if scum would change vote there if already under suspicion which I think he was.

I find datisi calling him "caring" weird because while he's higher effort than several slots, he's still in the lower half in terms of effort.

I think he's probably town for the first couple of points, but low impact enough that I'd probably compromise there if we can't do one of the slots I want

[DonCorleone]

Skitter, I have to say I had a really fun time last night at 3 am engaging your reads you really did earn that rep and I'm sorry it has been used against you in the past and will probably still be done.

literally from last night @don
his whole push on me in lylo was based on paranoia, and i called him out on it

i'm not sure what this has to do with my push on csf tho

yeah, but I don't mean getting pushed for paranoia, I'm saying have scum ever decided to take the risk of bringing town you all the way to lylo to push a paranoia mislynch on you, or do they chicken out and NK you

because I think you're a dumb lynch, but that if scum don't do that (and I don't remember them doing it) then you probably self-resolve one way or another. which means we can move past you v csf and get on with lynching where I want!

[DonCorleone]

(I don’t really like where she’s coming from and I don’t think I’m vibing with her, which is sometimes a scumtell for her as I’d expect her thought processes to be more aligned with me if she were town)

also hmmmm maybe i know who you are now?

also what don't you like?

I just don't really agree with your scumreads? and think you're kind of hedgy on people who I do think are scummy.

like I don't see why csf is scummy, but if you see csf as scummy I don't see why you're not also reading aldus as scummy as I think they're broadly similar (not loads of content but have some stuff that makes me lean them towards being town)

[DonCorleone]

also I'd be surprised if you know who I am, I'm familiar with you but we haven't played that many games together
