Open 812 Guardians of the Fortress - Game Over

[catboi]

Okay, thoughts readswise:

I like unwnd's early energy

I townread Infinity's 52 - something about that mindset fees like it's coming from town

I think Lukewarm's posts have been solidly town and he'd be my first pick for someone to send to the wall right now

No particular scum pings yet

EBWOP: I meant keep, not wall. I completely mixed up in my mind which location is which.

Why do you think that? Why would you not wait to see if other people are okay with it?

Why should I care about what other people think in the moment? Like, if people don't think that I'm towny enough there are two other slots that they can assign to other people and vote them instead, and I'll vote whoever I think is town of those two if no one wants me. I'm just hamstringing myself if I'm scum by putting the pressure on myself to compete with them but that isn't the case this game, so /shrug. It's a bit shitty of me to not care if other people agree

now

but they will in time.

It's a much better leverage to go into a XYLO with no clear with one person you slightly trust over two people you don't trust at all. You can use that to see how the individual feels about you townreading them or vice-versa.

Yeah but in the other minigames there's a much more direct mechanical incentive to be obvtown

Yes but you sort of said it yourself even if you don't realize

There's mechanical incentive, the XYLO has none. It's the most traditional form out of the other two.

okay the anime avis are starting to get to me ngl

This is ironic because your avatar is also anime <3

[unwnd]

I'm not sure yet, could you get back to me on the other stance I provided re: Absin/Me being scum together?

I have more suspicion of your slot than her slot.

Maybe it's because you've done more things in general and I'm tunneled.

I struggle with that sometimes.

So the feeling you had previously to her scumreading you was fleeting then? It seems you dictate your thoughts based on how people treat you.

Hmm, okay. I don't really understand this mindset at all but it'd be an unusually gutsy play for scum.

Wow am I really alone as a non-anime avi? >.<

?

I don't understand.

[Briar]

I am a chad player who bows to no one this game.

[absinthe]

I think I've been more irritable than unwnd has regarding the vibe stuff.

It's curious that he's gotten stick and I haven't.

[Briar]

Infinity what's on your mind!!

[absinthe]

dinner is on my mind.

later.

[Briar]

I really am sorry if the early vibing stuff was a pain. :<

[unwnd]

I am very happy I opened my role PM and it is wonderfully green!

I scumread this post. :/

I am sad that you are either wrong or scum and I shall endeavor to figure out which.

Two scummy posts in a row. I'm not really anxious to wind up in a day 1 tunnel, but I suppose it could be worse.

I think your mindset might be wrong for how you are approaching this game.

Rather than finding those who you can trust, you are trying to spread suspicion.

I'm unsure if this is scum motivated for now.

These posts in particular, granted your backed off (maybe because I became priority), but I digress. Your response to her scumreading felt like you were a bit offended by the notion.

[Infinity 324]

Infinity what's on your mind!!

I think I've given most of my relevant thoughts so far, although they've been out of sync with the game because I've been posting in between board game turns. I do get some townvibes from lukewarm and some non-townvibes from catboi ig

What's your read on absinthe?

[Anastasia]

I don't call her scum in either post...

I think it's a worldview that I'd like to anticipate better. Times have changed and my old ways aren't always the best. I have some gut feelings towards how they've both treated me but right now I don't think they're aligned

[catboi]

Trying to read the argument between unwnd and Anastasia is giving me a headache

[Infinity 324]

I don't think they're aligned

Does this mean "not scum together" or you think they're also unlikely to both be town?

Hit me with the catboi vibes? I found his questioning towards me a bit... questionable, heh. But the way it was tinted in that moment didn't feel like it matched up with the tools that the town has to deal with the groups (aka it seemed like he didn't like it but if he doesn't there are other options and I'm already supporting one he likes).

I'm gonna be honest and say that uh, I wanna rain check this one because I feel like I've annoyed absinthe and that sort of thing makes it a little more difficult for me to interact/read someone because that colors my thoughts, and I'd rather read over their slot when I'm not gonna feel a bit bad for making it less enjoyable for them?

[Anastasia]

I think there's a real risk to the scum to get run over if the town vibes together correctly in a lol-manner right at the beginning.

I have seen it happen multiple times.

That's why I'm suspicious of people who hard-nip it in the bud.

I think maybe you misread a bit but it's fine, I don't wanna just keep addressing the point over and over.

Not scum together

Oh? What for? (´～ヾ)

[Anastasia]

you still haven't explained why you liked Absinthe's statement that she could town-tell confidently when you have seen her absolutely murder a town solo by herself as scum.
