TM 2021: A normal roguelike

[The Bulge]

Spoiler: posts that inspired thought

reck

- 99
like the hop onto adorable, feels natural

xofelf

- 108
complaining about gimmick accounts to find content
different for reck due to his meta + venting about TM rules

ari

- 113
originally misinterpreted this post. this is fine, not dodgey

hectic

- 117
feels like hopkirk. hard to fake these team inputs

*Probably at least 2? scum sharing team input

sirius

- 160
probably real team thoughts

deasvail

- 175
why is that invalid?

datisi

- 198
maybe calling off discussion is actually townie

adorable

- 200
i like this reaction to deasvail questioning her team reads

--PAGE TEN--

datisi

- 229
effort to be understood by adorable

reck

- 242
backpedaling the self-meta before it's called?

xofelf

- 262
doesn't say anything bad or scummy about adorable's content, lots of words to critique playstyle

datisi

- 280
town mindset to catch this wagon/adorable dodging questions

deasvail

- 285
post says nothing, leaves all doors open

ari

- 287
makes the question about reck when i'm clearly prodding about ari

reck

- 312
partnery

summer

- 348
kinda noncommittal readslist

*Creature/dv/summer setting up swing from beeboy to sirius? hectic calls out in 361

ari

- 367
weird read on hectic, why would scum just hide behind alts and not be helpful
pointless question to dv ("why not question literally anything else instead?")
extremely weak associatives with me/datisi

ari

- 371
repeat of 287

ari

- 374
soft defense of beeboy ignores his meta

deasvail

- 376
not a big fan of straight answering such a weird question. ari partner?

ari

- 381
or appealing to dv?

reck

- 404
these agarthoughts are showy

summer

- 422
awkward hop off sirius/onto beeboy

sirius

- 426
big town vibes

reck

- 450
jumped the gun on this point, slow roll from reck vs adorable is strange

datisi

- 451
too self conscious

ari

- 460
weird awkward repeat of 374, shades xofelf

summer

- 465
WHO KILLED PETA?

--PAGE TWENTY--

creature

- 507
beeboy partnery

hectic

- 526
willing to double back on reason when peta engaged, towny

datisi

- 535
too self conscious while planting seeds of a beeboy defense

datisi

- 549
not a scum explanation

reck

- 577
sets up a move back onto adorable
shades me for asking him selfmeta question, but why now and not then?

xofelf

- 594
unnecessary defense of reck

xofelf

- 608
mentions ari's content without any specifics, weirdly holistic read but not being presented as so

ari

- 609
rushed, and "nice try tho" in same post as unvoting reck is weird

deasvail

- 647
good lines of questioning, really trying to squeeze content out of creature

ari

(bulge) - 652
indirect, nervous, too many words (why not just "I would shoot you")

deasvail

- 653
would scum say that about town? ("i have a feeling my read will be town")

datisi

- 678,679,682
good response to a bad case

xofelf

- 703
first time bringing up team input, odd timing re:my datisi post

creature

- 705
convenient

--PAGE THIRTY--

deasvail

- 731
not pressuring RCE as a partner

creature

- 747
distancey

creature

- 749
what? dv feels me

*LOOK AT RCE ISOs, ONE OR MORE DON'T BELONG*

summer

- 756
team input feels somewhat faked

reck

- 790
halfassed unvote (bus?) after being called by peta

datisi

- 835
not partnery

creature

- 876
disagree with assessment of deasvail

creature

- 883
is this all in defense of RCE?

datisi

- 907
partner never digs for a reason to not believe a claim like this

petapan

- 910
inclined to trust this read

hectic

- 919
gets no points for not believing the claim

rce

- 934
no stance against summer, could be unwilling to bus lurking partner when he is doomed d2 either way

summer

- 938
too hypothetical

creature

- 941
why a liability and not just scum?

--PAGE FORTY--

summer

- 980
like this reaction, urgency in ensuing posts feels real

ari

- 1034
no stance at all on RCE claim, defers to his team

sirius

- 1042
good catch re:finding a better fakeclaim, not scum

summer

- 1056
genuinely wants to be able to read sirius properly

xofelf

- 1057
bad hammer, defers stance to teammates like ari did

hectic

- 1071
odd pivot, what was hectic thinking overnight?

datisi

- 1074
good response

hectic

- 1080
I had a similar thought re:Datisi+Reck

xofelf

- 1102
good post, last line especially feels townie

xofelf

- 1106
pretty good take on my play, feels genuine

reck

- 1128
is this trying to cast doubt on the possibility of svs wagons?

ari

- 1157
not a fan of the first two sentences

datisi

- 1180
too weak a push for scum to go there

leaves me feeling something like

hectic
datisi
adorable
sirius
summer

deasvail
xofelf

reck
creature
ari


additional notes for now:
-reck vs ari could very easily be theatre, neither is very sticky about it
-deasvail has done some things that seem extremely unlikely for scum to have done (most notably his pressure of rce, although Datisi is the least likely beeboy partner imo), but I know he is a very skilled player
-if deasvail is scum then I think that heavily points to creature as a partner
-summer is sketchy/null overall to me, but her reaction to being counterwagoned was super town, although less so if creature scum.
-xofelf reads as scummy to me but recent posting is much better, and their stance on my slot feels so real I can't shake it.

ummmm it deends on what kinda comp we wanna run

i think maybe we bought you and it'll also 3 star you right and you can do massive damage?

[Ydrasse]

Hi bulge

i like how ou colorcoded us

[Augustus Caesar]

what a beautiful post
i'll read it now

[Augustus Caesar]

Hi bulge

i like how ou colorcoded us

stooped down to using mafiascum emojis huh?
really going for the too scummy to be scum schtick this game

[The Bulge]

thanks! I felt pretty good about my colour choices and yours is my favourite! I didn't know salmon was "default"-y enough to work with [color] tags

[Ydrasse]

Wait your reads list is kinda fire like idk if i agree with the order but the top / bottom havles are mostly very cute i am a fan i think

[Ydrasse]

i like that actually wtf... im ebmracing it

a salmon going upstream this game

[Ydrasse]

can you explain the order ab it of the last 3 like in little spoonfeeding sentences to me?

[Augustus Caesar]

bulgey
why am i your top town
you only had like 1 thing you called towny from me

[Augustus Caesar]

hectic
datisi
adorable
sirius
summer

deasvail
xofelf

reck
creature
ari

i think the top 5 are my top 5 too actually
oh would remove self with xofelf

[Augustus Caesar]

not ordered though

[The Bulge]

hmmm individually I find ari's posts more likely to be scum, where a lot of the scummy things I might see in reck are probably playstyle. When I finished the list and thought about what teams did/did not make sense out of it, it occurred to me that reck and ari could very well both be scum, but that didn't really affect my order.

creature, like I said already, was smackdab null at like the midway point of my read, but things got worse, mainly with his positioning around beeboy/rce. I put him between the others because ari's posting is scummier imo than creature's positioning, which in turn is scummier than reck's positioning and his posting. sorry if that only confuses you more I know that's a super not-straightforward answer to a very straightforward request

@ydrasse

[Creature]

The xof wagon still feels mmmmmm bad. So does DV.

[Creature]

IM FREE TO POST HERE NOW BTW ill add a 2 person iso to my acc for team mafia <3 sorry for being annoying but ithis is literally like a mental block being removed by being able to post on here and not on my account and now i am going to do so many cool good things for this game it's going to be un fucking believable are you guys READY?

Oh well here it starts

[Ydrasse]

Welcome

[Augustus Caesar]

do you mean reck is trying to pocket both wagonees?

[Ydrasse]

Bulge.... towm

[The Bulge]

@augustus tbh I couldn't decide between you and datisi for the top spot, but felt a little about it after what my day 1 focus was. I've heavy vibed with a lot of your posts, and have seen obvious gamesolving motivation from the start.

[Creature]

Oh well can't complain much about Ydrasse because at least something is happening rn

[Augustus Caesar]

wtf i see what you did there

[Ydrasse]

i like the quick turnaround on what is a little nuanced/Compliquated for how they positioned people on their list it felt like a natural thing that didnt need to be made up or thought about for like ~logic~

[Ydrasse]

Oh well can't complain much about Ydrasse because at least something is happening rn

Im giving everyone the extra 50 pages this game to catch up to the other games and this time...... I mean it

[Ydrasse]

literally my shackles are freed i can post without worrying about a silly little alt my thoughts are UNINHIBITED i can READ i can DO THINGS

[Augustus Caesar]

honestly so considerate of you to look out for people like that
