Uh, hope that something interesting happens that I can get involved with?

Which has definitely happened here.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

Uh, null, but not for lack of trying. I didn't like his whole "it's not hard to say whether you can kill or not" and I also didn't love his baby sheep vote on me after I just pointed out that he totally doesn't have to. But, if he's been setting up to scumread me, then I don't see why he forays into calling me town for like two seconds only to immediately change his mind. So I'm not sure that it necessarily makes a lot of sense as an agenda.

Though if I'm being honest it's mostly logic. Experience tends to lead me wrong more than it leads me right.

Yup, sorry. My town and scum games are very similar.

Do you read back? Or do you base your reads on data that hits the thread after join? a mix?

I generally will only read back when I'm looking to refresh myself on how something went down.

Oh, did you mean in a replacement game specifically?

Kinda the same, except instead of refreshing it's just familiarizing myself with something that people are talking about.

I know you take a long time to size up reads when you are in a game from the start sometimes. A la smokefilled antechamber.

I'm baffled how this would work replacing into a thread where a lot has happened.

In post 27, unwnd wrote:You ever get what you want, then you realize you don't know what to do with it?
My understanding of this is that unwnd wanted a killing role because they felt people weren't listening to their reads, specifically from the last game
In post 236, unwnd wrote:All games would be better if I had a dayvig.
This combined with the rest feels like blatant softing
In post 241, unwnd wrote:Kami-sama, please grant me the ability to destroy my enemies :3
More softing of flavor and potentially role. "grant me the ability to destroy my enemies" seems like a killing role or something similarly aggressive

What pisses off is that your slot heavily crumbed vig and you didn't clear that up when we asked you to.

The reason we outed our vig shot was because it looked like there were too many different non-elim kills in the game to make sense.

I'm sorry. You could have just said it was for a role-related reason and I probably would have done it.

You didn't really give me any reason at all...

Just multiple people quoting unwnd and asking you to clear it up.

That's not a reason, though.

The only reason given was that it would help sort me, but it didn't seem like that was worth revealing info if I didn't have a wagon. But now I do. Hence the timing.

VOTE: Something_Smart

The initial softs factored into my early townlean of your slot, and then when a bunch of other killing roles came out I believe you were put into an awkward situation where you would be suspected for being a killing role on top of all of that, or suspected for going back on earlier softs

Well, at least I can be comforted in knowing that I'm not getting killed for any fault of my own.

Though I feel like you must have a pretty low opinion of my mechanical skills to think I would stall that long and then not claim a gun as scum?

This is untrue and I won't be able to tell if it was a good/bad move without seeing the full picture of scum roles (which have the potential to be quite complicated in this game)
