Epilogue! - [Endgame]

[shellyc]

shelly lets coordinate though yeah? make sure we work together to get optimal pairings?

What are you thinking right now?

I'm taylor (slightly serious though we have hydra'd)

hectic on my whimsical reread still doesn't ping. i feel like a lot of the hectic SR is due to "meta" which isn't expanded upon anyhow

[OkaPoka]

you and taylor just chilling in scum pt seeing how to endgame?

[shellyc]

you and taylor just chilling in scum pt seeing how to endgame?

help me find that pt scummate, it's not in egosearch

[Dunnstral]

you and taylor just chilling in scum pt seeing how to endgame?

Are you just looking for whatever you can to throw shade on?

[Akarin]

I don't know what Firebringer sees in him.

[OkaPoka]

interesting you go to that interpretation when there is a much more obvious one

[shellyc]

oka where are you at with hectic? i realise you want hectic to be policy'd but regardless of that whats your alignment read on him

[OkaPoka]

i dont want hectic to be policy'd?

[shellyc]

i dont want hectic to be policy'd?

or "the group of suiciders" etc

just a large chunk of your iso is spent on dealing with suiciders which you include hectic in.

[shellyc]

*iso ctrl+f hectic

yum!

[OkaPoka]

i use hectic more as a representation for an archetypical ms.net player who might look at the ability to suicide as a fun toy that needs to be touched

me talking about hectic is more theoretical with regards to picking partners to limit quantity of suicides since chain suicides are a no no imo

now i don't know what hectic actually thinks about leaving the dance and such, but i view him as a bit of a wildcard so he might idk

why do u hate me dunn why do you think im this evil conniving chicken who wants to undermine everybody

[OkaPoka]

yes taylor schwift

i wont get burnt out d1 lol, I've been in larges with exploding threads before

anyways i was referring to the fact that i saw this exchange and then nothing came of it after like 20 minutes

[Hectic]

Would you like to dance, shellyCult?

[Dunnstral]

That's fair

[Dunnstral]

Spoiler:

i read the thread and feel reasonably confident to give my GTH reads on the playerlist:

DrippingGoofball - tone + early proposal is townpinging.
deleuzional - proposing in FIRST POST is a whole new level of townness than early proposal. it's a move that I think scum never make here.
Hectic - I still stand by my TR here so far, liked the poking at me.
MariaR - 308 feels lamist in a "why am I not being TR'd" way which is scummy. rest of the posts feel quite overeager in pairing up. scumlean atm.
Dunnstral - lots of mechspeak, which is easy towncred for scum. i feel like interactions with me were genuine and they even admitted that i might SR them though? torn on this slot.
Bell - I'm townreading this due to inquisitiveness. Bell has quite obvious differences in their town/scum play and I'm confident in my ability to sort here.
beeboy - not posted
OkaPoka - heavy pushing of "policy clowners + suiciders" feels like fakesolving moreso than hunting scum
PookyTheMagicalBear - I'm giving this a /pass on tone. pooky is a player that is tonally different as scum
Isis - IC
Tayl0r Swift - town by virtue of bluntness and feels more lighthearted while as scum taylor'd be more uptight/efforty
Akarin - im terrible at mech so not sure how accepting the dance invite = scum? otherwise really null
The Bulge - completely cant get my head around early posting, null.
Ydrasse - before the end of day 1 there's usually a point in town!ydrasse's posting where it becomes transparent that she's town. I think she's hit the mark for me.
shellyc - look at me im so town
Firebringer - blunt and direct, townlean but weak
Doctor Drew - early acceptance i'd say it +town, tonally like this slot as well

Too many townreads

Dunnstral is scum; too many townreads is a town tell. He is gaslighting us into calling it a scum tell.

Shelly is town.

This was probably the scummiest post in the game. It reads are fabricated and has a fake confidence kind of vibe to it.

I'm not fully caught up though, and I'm not free for like the next 24 hours. I'm sure Tayl0r can see my towny soul though. I'll probably be able to obvtown when I get some more time and can effort

This post went up with the realization that Hectic might die today

[OkaPoka]

anyways wrt to suicides, i would prefer if all eliminations happened the old fashion way of voting but with that being said i don't want to bog down the thread with reminders not to leave the dance especially if i have to direct that energy at people i am actively seeking to eliminate you know

gotta take advantage of predance so i don't have to look like a weirdo for telling someone simultaneously to vote themselves but not to leave the dance

we must follow decorum

[Tayl0r Swift]

ok im deeply concerned that hectic doesnt wanna dance with me.

[Dunnstral]

ok im deeply concerned that hectic doesnt wanna dance with me.

He does, he's proposed to both of you

[Dunnstral]

I think Tayl0r is probably town,

hectic. this might be a little forward. but i think youre kinda cute and like to get to know you a little better somewhere private. you should ask me to dance.

This is very bold if she's scum. I have a lot of meta with her, and a pretty good readrate on her. This is making the game a lot harder for scum!her I think, if she has to fool me in a PT as well as the thread.

Taylor is probably the towniest so far

LOL

I liked this reaction.

hectic the reason i wanna dance with you is that i think we can sort each other.

Great reason for town!Tayl0r, kinda suicidal if she's scum.

Rest of the ISO is not as alignment telling, but I feel reasonably good about her being town. @leu: what were your reasons for townreading her?

shelly's playing to her townmeta so far. The lack of aggression and early tunnels is very town-indicative for her. As town, she's more open to the field, and natural. While as scum she kinda feels like she's performing, and is very blunt and aggressive. She also likes to present a healthy amount of scumreads as scum, having "too many townreads" and only a couple of scumping reads is a towntell for her.
We both know she's been trying to mix up her meta though, so this isn't as useful as it would be a couple of weeks ago.

I

think

they're probably both town, but Tayl0r is townier than shelly for me.

May I have this dance, Tayl0r?

[Akarin]

Pooky really seem the most actively suicidal to me.

Between the pledge and the reluctance to propose to anyone and the wanting to suicide in pre-dance even though that's anti-wincon as either alignment.

I really want to townread him for it.

[Hectic]

ok im deeply concerned that hectic doesnt wanna dance with me.

I thought you were rejecting me :[

[Tayl0r Swift]

ok im deeply concerned that hectic doesnt wanna dance with me.

He does, he's proposed to both of you

oh good. i kinda wanna dance with hectic. i think it would be fun, although i think it would be way more fun if one of us is scum. hectic, if youre scum can you subtly tell me and then we can dance and ill forget the signal and see if i can actually catch you?
