T-Bone walks through the brush and finds enemies! Aggressive jackals are coming to hurt him. One jackal is even attacking the bushes to destroy it to clear the way to come hurt him.

Spoiler:

I decide to look at T-Bone's starting spell, and it's a new one from the new update I've never heard of. Nine out of ten times you can read what a spell does in a spellbook before you learn it, but each class's starting spell is just there. This spell says it's range is N/A, what could it mean? Will it set T-Bone's body on fire so he can do touch damage? Will it do burning damage at unlimited range? Will it spawn a fireghost named "Foxfire" right next to T-Bone?

Spoiler:

Some unlimited range spells still do more damage the closer enemies are, so I hit . several times to wait a few turns for the jackal to draw close. Next votecount we are going to use this spell to figure out what it does!!!

[The Bulge]

ack! my vote!

[The Bulge]

I didn't like the way how

you just straight up voted me

saying I dipped and without even engaging with me. I went to bed after I responded to DV and don't expect me to respond right away because I'm not active.

what is so concerning about voting before engaging this early in the game? he did far far more to engage you than what you did before you voted, for example.

[Adorable]

This is what midwaybear said when I asked what does he think of the players after I made #85.

-He said Creature's entrance seems townie and his concern over being distracted over studies is slightly townie and doesn't care much as scum. For me Creature is hard to read and I wasn't able to see how that was townie.
-He wasn't sure why Ari asked Creature who scum is. He is overall a bit too jokey.
-Said Hectic/Ydrasse back and forth seems mostly NAI and said he believed they did this in Pooky/FL.
-Said xofelf seems to be taking Reck's RVS vote a bit serious
- Said Hectic's read on Ari in post 50 he doesn't agree with. It's just a wagon and there's nothing really to be self conscious of that early.
- Said Hectic including NAI reads is interesting and didn't know what to think of it yet.
- Said Datisi townread on DV is also not the best.
- Said Datisi voting me is somewhat understandable
-Said Hectic seems townie, but it is a weak read for him.
-Said Datisi's questions on Ari mostly reflects his thoughts and thought that was good except he put a question mark in the end and it looked like he wasn't sure.
-Said Bulge asking Sirius about personal life seemed abit intrusive and he put lol in the end.

These thoughts are through #9-#87

[Summer Nights]

is there anything that you do like so far, adorable?

[Adorable]

On the next page midwaybear wrote I forgot to say he's very cautious townread on petapan as well for talking about how he will eventually go out of scumrange(very cautious)

I wasn't able to understand on what he meant by that and I'll have to ask what did he mean by that.

[The Bulge]

-Said Bulge asking Sirius about personal life seemed abit intrusive and he put lol in the end.

classic obtusebear

[Datisi]

hot take: hectic/reck are t/t

Ari my love, why do you feel funny to me? There's this tone underneath your posts that don't quite feel genuine and more performative. Idk if it's AI, I just know unlike usual, reading your posts made my nose wrinkle up.

i think? i feel similar-ish to this? could you talk about this a bit more?

ok like i think i'm getting pinged more by adorable. 122 is kinda vaguely talking about - oh there was a bad meta read once - that doesn't seem to serve any purpose other than being filler. also the question to hectic in 85 doesn't get answered and i don't think she really cares for it? also like bulge's 127.

I did not like the way how you voted me saying I look fake.

why?

- Said Datisi townread on DV is also not the best.

i'm also very interested in this one.

[Datisi]

Reck's reasoning to their vote looked suspicious to me. It was the way how they worded it because I went to sleep and they said I dipped.

After catching up I've been liking Hectic so far.

I have to log out for now and will be back later.

[Adorable]

I'll respond to the other questions later when I come back.

you literally posted replying to other people and not DV

you're *still* ignoring DV after being called out on it???

[The Bulge]

hm I don't like that

[The Bulge]

hot take: hectic/reck are t/t

nor this

[Datisi]

go on.

[The Bulge]

I don't necessarily disagree but they ping me as unwarranted and performative.

[The Bulge]

@adorable, ...yea what reck said

[xRECKONERx]

@reck when you play scum and feel like a certain level of ~rage~ would be appropriate, do you find you are more likely to fake the emotion to fit the play, or do you prefer to allow real emotions to dictate your posting for a more natural effect?

i honestly don't know
my last scum game was mafiasunny and i didn't get that upset ab anything
before that i was scum with UT in the legends of the hidden temple game however long ago and alisae wanted to stage an entire AtE rage fight between the two of us so i did it

i think in general i can be more rational as scum and play more emotionally and reactively as town but i'm mostly basing that on my IRL scum games bc before the two mentioned above i hadn't been scum in like 5 years on the site

[xRECKONERx]

fwiw i asked the team to read hectic for me and keely came away with sort of a lean town? didn't like the early stuff bc throwing out a lot of townleans is easy and safe for scum to do, felt like the vote on me was slightly opportunistic bc i was making the most noise and therefore the "easy" safe vote to get away with, but thought the reconsideration of the read via hopkirk's thoughts read as genuine and townie, so we're at null-town i guess if im taking cheeto at face value

[Augustus Caesar]

ok like i think i'm getting pinged more by adorable. 122 is kinda vaguely talking about - oh there was a bad meta read once - that doesn't seem to serve any purpose other than being filler. also the question to hectic in 85 doesn't get answered and i don't think she really cares for it? also like bulge's 127.

Puff loves bringing up stuff like this as both alignments. She talks a lot about theory and how she saw scum do "this one thing one time" and then vaguely fits it to what someone did in the current game. NAI I think.

midwaybear's thoughts in 128 are okay, don't see anything wrong with them.

Puff, what changed your mind and made you like me in 134?

Oh, so part of my reasoning for townreading Puff earlier is because if she had a scumteam as well as Team Mafia teammates, I'd expect

some

level of coaching to be happening behind the scenes. And if that's the case, I don't see them letting her enter with a "early townreads are suspicious, how can you even have a townread so early" theory line of attack which is obviously flawed, and could easily attract attention/suspicion.
I asked her how much she'd conversed with her team though and apparently she only did after the fact. Still think there's validity in it though, because her team or scumteam would probably proactively try and help her out considering the occasion and all.

[Augustus Caesar]

I don't necessarily disagree but they ping me as unwarranted and performative.

I agree regarding Reck, he felt over the top and performative to me, hence my initial vote.

Why do you think my reaction is unwarranted though? A player is telling me they're refusing to read any of my posts due to a picture at the bottom, how would you expect me to react?

Happy Birthday btw

[Datisi]

I don't necessarily disagree but they ping me as unwarranted and performative.

hmm, is there any elaboration to this?

@hectic, links to adorable town/scum meta you're using here?

pedit: i think bulge was calling my hot take unwarranted and performative, not you/reck.

[Augustus Caesar]

I've played a lot with her. Reference being drawn from:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=84709 - town
viewtopic.php?f=84&t=84055 - town
viewtopic.php?f=51&t=83352 - town
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=82679 - scum

I thought Bulge was saying they don't disagree with the T/T take but we both ping as unwarranted/performative. Guess we'll find out when he clarifies.

[Summer Nights]

is there anything that you do like so far, adorable?

is there anything *you* like so far?

yes! hectic + bulge + xof so far have given me good vibes.

you're asking a lot of questions this game so far and it feels like a bombardment on the thread

how did you come to the conclusion of hectic/reck tvt?

[Summer Nights]

also, i think that bulge meant that datisi's takes were feeling performative which i did get pinged by too

like framing it as a hot take when i don't think? it's really one was a bit ? to me so i wanna understand
