[Dunnstral]

I have two scumreads now I think

I know I'm being vague but it will come to fruition, eventually

Going to take a guess at your scumreads: Skitter and Implosion

[T3]

Oh, I didn't know scum can't vote. So then Gate is autowin because the non conftowns cans crossvote and whoever shows up on the vc is confirmed town?

[Dunnstral]

???

[Dunnstral]

That is incorrect, and I don't know where you got that idea

[T3]

I forgot that scum cant vote
If ur pledging to vote i suppose it makes u less scummy but even so i dont think that was a good thing to do

[T3]

Oh wait I'm being dumb.

[T3]

Based on context I think what skitt meant was that scum in keep can't vote or they lose.

[skitter30]

Unwnd/catboi's interactions feel really weird and stilted

[catboi]

I think skitter's reaction to catboi last page is townish. I don't think catboi promising to wield the hammer at keep is townish, obviously if catboi follows through then they're town but it's a quite easy thing to say and then not follow through on for any of x reasons (being swapped out or a changed gamestate, etc).

or well i'm not discounting skitter certainly but i do like her last page quite a bit.

That is easily the scummiest set of posts in the game, haha.

[skitter30]

I dont entirely get 293

[catboi]

Don't know if scum backing up a partner or just bad reads, though.

[skitter30]

Also rhe fact that catboi doesnt get why people may find him scummy is sort of >.>
You're like expecting people to townread you when i dont think you've really done anything to merit that read

[T3]

What if scumboi was desperate so he decided to do the same gambit as last time? I feel like that would make sense if everyone's early solves are correct.

This post comes across as very forced.

[skitter30]

I dont know what he did last time but i also dont know why me suggesging catboi/unwnd should not go to the keep should prompt.that responde

[T3]

unwnd is quite town for page 2. catboi to a lesser extent.

I think there's some amount of advantage we could eke out by controlling where people go but I think we also can get a fair amount of useful info just from where people decide to go on their own. unwnd, since you were specifically worried as scum about town's options to synchronize, I'm curious what exactly you didn't want town to have the option to do.

From what I gathered he went into the keep saying he would want to be the hammer vote and was townread for that. I might be wrong though.

skitter says unwnd/catboi interactions feel weird. Immediately after that, catboi drops a scumread on implosion. implosion's 37 is townreading catboi and unwnd for bad reasons.
Partner interactions day 1 are bad but if I had to choose one of them to flip first probably catboi, maybe implosion.

You should really probably actually read the last game if you're going to hypothesize about it, because what I did is antithetical to what our team did in that game. In the first game, Briar brute-forced herself as a townread and jumped to the keep, we swapped out the other universal townread in absinthe and swapped in Infinity, who the town had been confirmation-biasing as scum. We ensured scum was the most townread player at the keep for an easy 1-0 lead. Me doing that here as scum...would almost unquestionably put the team down 0-1 instead, as I'm not particularly townread. In terms of motive and optics, it's nothing like what scum did the last game (if anything, it's closer to Anastasia)

I don't really expect you to have good reads or any sort of sensible logic, but luckily for my purposes that's completely irrelevant.

That wasn't implying a scumread on implosion, it was saying skitter is blatantly scum for how she reacted to my jump.

Also I was talking about this.

Ok and i think ur blatantly scum *for* the jump
What would u do if i went to the keep

I mean, yes. Also it's incredibly irritating to have multiple people making speculative reads based on a game they haven't actually read. It's not like it's particularly hard to find, I have no idea why you'd simply guess at the events of a game instead. If anything my play currently is closer to Anastasia from that game.

I'm fine with the situation I'm in, though - I control my own destiny unless scum swap me out, but doing so means they probably lose the keep regardless.
