Open 785: Secrets of the Anuket Topaz [Game over!]

[Menalque]

Frederick continuing his legacy of terrible takes.

?

Oh, if you do go me -> A50 then my ego solve partner is definitely S_S > RCE for the hatchet on fredrick above

[Menalque]

@fredrick, in fairness, S_S is right that I’d totally make the two posts I did as scum too. Like I believed them because I’m town, but I’d have made them as scum because I could see that the thread move was swinging strongly enough away from you being scum there that opposing it would have made me look bad when you obviously didn’t look scummy at that point

[Eevee]

it's tough... it's difficult...

i remember back to that game where i was townreading you but you did a similar thing where you formed a counterwagon against your partner but you never actually voted me (the other counterwagon) BUT you did state a townread on me earlier so maybe you couldn't without feeling bad
and then i think you had some regrets about not doing more to save him(?) so maybe you were learning from your mistakes and really going for it here

idk stop being such a michael corleone ya know

[Menalque]

I actually don’t know which game you’re talking about

Was this a while ago or fairly recently?

[Eevee]

S_S individual top pick for scum

RCE feels super scummy

Montosh is just ???

Raya prob town

Ydrasse I feel is town but I guess it depends how much weight you put in titus’ VCA

A50 I have no idea on whatsoever

i can get behind this though - i don't actually scumread Almo as much as people here do and agree on Raya/Ydrasse

RCE would be my second pick for scum - idk about S_S still don't understand that last minute bus from him
it gives him minimum towncred while being very bad for scum given the mechanics of this game so why?

fairly recently

the tiger was in it and also townread you

~Eve

[Menalque]

Were you a vig role?

[Eevee]

mhm

[Menalque]

Oh right, I got you, but I don’t think it was the tiger I think it was the other player who often gets referred to as the “animal”

And like, eh? I think I played that whole game really differently to how I played it here, and I think that the more natural assumption should be “because in this one mena is town who was wrong” vs “in this one mena is still scum who learned from his mistakes”

Also that game was just a big sigh, I wasn’t very motivated for it and honestly I’m kinda amazed that my “pulled out of my ass” scumplay is being compared to my fairly try hardy townplay... although that may not say great things about my townplay, come to think of it

I will call out bad takes if and only if I think they are actually bad takes, regardless of my alignment, and you know that.

[Menalque]

it gives him minimum towncred while being very bad for scum

Well apart from the “both scum are probably on snow so let’s just lynch through that wagon” hypotheses being rolled out

[Eevee]

stop townpinging me so much pls - you're supposed to be scum
UNVOTE: Menalque

idk i haven't read the last 5 to 10 pages so i'll leave the final decision to Eva
maybe the solve is like RCE + Montosh or something

~Eve

[Eevee]

If I haven't done an A50 ISO by tomorrow night feel free to yell in my general direction.

YELL

~Eve

[Raya36]

I still town read menalque. I won't be opposed to eliminating him tomorrow if we don't hit scum today but for now I want to go somewhere else.

I'd be happiest with A50 of course. I could do RCE or Montosh. I really do think at least 1 or both scum are within that group of 3.

The main thing that bothers me about RCE (in like a why he may not be scum sense) is A50’s TR on him. If A50 is scum, then it could either be a strong WK, or it could be buddy defence that he’s doubled down on. But if A50 is town then the level of confidence he’s expressed in this does make me think RCE is more likely to be town

@A50, can you point to any examples where you’ve professed a super confident read in someone’s alignment and been right?

[Umlaut]

Is this day still going? Is A50 still breathing? Why?

[Almost50]

@A50, can you point to any examples where you’ve professed a super confident read in someone’s alignment and been right?

Are you kidding me??

OK, I'll bite (in my own way): THIS HERE GAME. FRED.

[Menalque]

You never said it was Fred before he flipped...

[Eevee]

I got a psychic message from Eve saying she doesn’t really want A50 and prefers Menalque > RCE, Montosh.

I don’t want RCE/Montosh, and am kind of wondering whether we should eliminate both A50/Menalque so... I guess our slot’s compromise is Menalque?

~Eva

[Eevee]

Menalque’s pretty charming, but I remember strongly thinking he was scum at EoD as well and I don’t know if I want to ignore that.

Thoughts?

~Eva

[Menalque]

Menalque’s pretty charming

It’s okay Eva, I forgive you for being wrong on me, but you have to make it up to me by winning the game, deal?

[Ydrasse]

i'll reread mena + respond to a50 in like ~2-3 hours. :>

[Menalque]

I think if you don’t townread me by now you probably never will and it may be better to get rid of me because you paranoia will only be stronger at gylo where it’s much more important I’m not guillotined
