Open 796: Haunted Village Game Over

[Battle Mage]

yeah

[Gamma Emerald]

Then you’ve played with someone who has a similar style of catchup to what I do.

[Battle Mage]

thats not a good thing man lol

[Infinity 324]

I literally said they were town.

I pointed out something I didn't like. Is that a problem?

Hrrrm I think this posting make Noraa town but I’m also concerned for her an a level that has no impact on my read on her.

I feel like scum!nora just has a emotional reaction to people voting her and these posts are trying to justify it.

[Gamma Emerald]

Eh I don’t think you’re giving her a fair shake
Honestly I feel like your normally-critical mind has been a bit dull so far this game. It’s not a point against you rn as there’s a couple non-alignment based reasons I can see for it. I’m just a little wary of you.

It’s possible I’m confbiased, talk me out of it when you get the chance.

I feel like my attempts to read other slots have been good though at least?

[Gamma Emerald]

damnit...shouldve consulted the wiki first!

Honestly the fact there isn’t any setup info in the opening posts is a shortcoming by the mod imo

my balls to the wall solve is....

Pretty sure you’ve been saying that one for a while, why’d you present it like it was a fresh thought?

[Gamma Emerald]

Spoiler: egoposts

i think we've already learnt quite a lot. an unusually high number of people defending taylor without grounds.

who is actually defending taylor here? like is "not instavoting taylor the second BM asks for it" = "defending taylor"?

murdercat climbing up my reads with 268/269

hmm
isis, why are 279/280 towny to you? like they read like null-to-maaaaybe-nullscum posts to me

i found this a bit surprising, at this point i was feeling like i had like one and a half weak townread (exorcists and maaaybe murdercat) with a whole buncha people either being null or south of null (RanCan for stuff, BM with the questionable push, and xof/norwee feeling active-lurky)

Can you explain what you mean by active-lurky?

active lurking is like, posting meaningless post to appear to be contributing
both your and xof's posts neatly fit into that
like up to that point you were what, making an excuse why you won't post much because logging in is difficult, voting the mod, and joking about clint eastwood

is that all you wanna say after 7 pages? do you have any reads?

-tisi

VOTE: xofelf

The fact that so many people are throwing shade here when I am totally null on them makes me suspicious. Sorry tayl0r, come vote here now let's see what happens.

This is feels like a non-reason(?) for a vote. You find them suspicious because other people find them suspicious? Do you have any other reasons for finding them scummy?

Also:

VOTE: RandomCanadian

I am going to very blatantly hop on this wagon because [reasons to be revealed later]

UNVOTE: by the way, served it's purpose

The idea was that there is likely scum on the wagon, just because it's easier to get 5 votes from 13 players than 10. If you remember from Noir, you had an early wagon on you that involved a vote from PP. I think that scum often takes the opportunity to distance with an early wagon, so I had a theory that Random Canadian might be scum getting hit by that distance vote (also I saw that Random Canadian had logged on but not posted in this thread, which seemed a little off to me considering how early into the game we were). Either way I was curious how votes would react as the wagon accelerated. It's probably not super useful right now but I think it will be nice to look back on after we get some flips. I did hate Isis's vote to leave the wagon but she did the exact same thing in Noir (and I hated it there too ). I'm not sure what to make of your unvote and revote.

Murdercat's progression on this feels off. You give no explanation for it, the wagon deflates after you voted, then you unvote and say it's for a test and it valuable after flips.

Why did you unvote rather than change to a different wagon? I know this may sound menial, but usually unvoting is a reaction to a post or something someone said.

-ego

Just gunna point some stuff out as I see it. These posts directly contradict, but are from different heads. I'm not really sure what to make of that, is that just something that happens? Makes me feel like they were not discussing in PT, but I'm not sure why scum wouldn't be aligned in who they are pushing? But maybe it's not that important for scum to be aligned with a push early? I don't have a strong AI read on this but I am curious if anyone makes anything from it.

I’ll have to take a good look at those myself because I have my own thoughts about what hydra heads contradicting each other should mean for alignment.

show me where i'd said it before, then tell me why it matters that i said it again?

[Gamma Emerald]

I’m not a fan of how MCat approached the egotisi wagon
@BM I’m just concerned that your tone doesn’t match the sort of opinion you expressed there

[Gamma Emerald]

And you’ve clearly been SRing xofelf from very early on, BM
You’ve only really pushed the same 3 people as scum all game. That feels more like a narrative than an attempt at sorting. Who’s your next set of people you’re considering for scum if one of your reads is wrong?

[MURDERCAT]

Setup

@Gamma and anyone else who may have missed it

[MURDERCAT]

Well it's didn't keep the link but anyway it's there..

[MURDERCAT]

I’m not a fan of how MCat approached the egotisi wagon

In what way?

[PlusJOYED]

I recently went and meta dived Plus some more and I've decided that I want to drop the SR on him for a bit.

hmmm
i consider this mostly nai but probably townie
i hope you aren't scum lol

[PlusJOYED]

Nah Cat, coming to the thread cuz I actually have effort I can be active instead of passive on MS things rn. I post when I got the brain to articulate things.

If people wanna push on egotisi, that's their business. I have absolutely no read on the slot whatsoever. They're not contributing anything one way or another, but at least it's not actively bad. I know I haven't been doing all that much either, but I'm trying as best I can.

i think this is scum

[PlusJOYED]

ah fk, i'm dead then lol

why do you want TP on you?

[PlusJOYED]

Like I kinda hope town!Noraa was getting at the (stuff I can't discuss) about my read on her so untunneled cuz of that. But I'm also paranoid she decided the tunnel wasn't worth it or gonna work so she's gonna kill me as vig or mafia.
I will say if I die tonight it doesn't 100% indicate Noraa scum but it'd be worth reexamining the slot.

Taylor-Noraa-Xofelf

lets go x today then
i dont wanna go ego

[PlusJOYED]

caught up
i hope Norwee is okay
I really don't like how quick the ego wagon formed. Decent chance of scum on it I think. That increases if Noraa flips red.
UNVOTE:
VOTE: X

[Cobra Kai]

Are we ready to eliminate Nora and end the day?

[Infinity 324]

VOTE: Nora

Sure. E-1

[Infinity 324]

Wait plus unvoted

[PlusJOYED]

i'll go back on noraa if needed
