Open 834: Trust Fall - Game Over

[Prism]

Elaborating on my first line: By "solve intent" I mean you haven't really shown much interest in the meaning of interactions or in poking at places beyond the theory question to me. Perhaps that's my fault for shrugging it off rather than making my arrogance more transparent; the genuine answer would be that I have full confidence that I can get townread whenever I want and would prefer to let my partner go first.

I say we just make Pooky's day by leave him and Tammy as f2

[the worst]

that said I'm not reading his posts so would that make his day? I don't know. I simply intuit that it would.

I have full confidence that I can get townread whenever I want

fact check: true

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

the lesson i learned from the last run of this is that even if i get perfect reads people will just ignore me and throw so im not going to give a shit about catching bad guys this time and just focus on convincing tammy that i am very town :2

Anyway, I figured I'd see how things played out and started and figure out how to play it from there.

I'm really curious about this. Maybe you're having fun horsing around with Pooky but there isn't really a solve intent.

If I were scum, you don't know how much I would appreciate this. Your presence in games is enjoyable, even when you're a murderer, but here as scum I wouldn't have the sweet release of an early elimination when I made myself obvious. I'd just have to sit around waiting til the end. So, yeah the company would be nice.

I am town though!

This makes my head tilt a bit, too, because while you don't prefer scum your scumgame is not weak.

I'm not solving right now. I'm not really one to attempt to solve in the first few pages of the game. I don't like to do it, nor am I good at it. I typically think most people look scummy in the first few pages of the game because I can't tell the difference between people pretending to solve and people trying to get the game started. Unless something really jumps out at me, like your entrance in Warehouse 13, I pretty much view everything early game as neutral noise that I'll look back at later when I actually get serious. I used to try because I thought I needed to be aggressive to be town read, but I hated it, so now I play in a way that I enjoy and is comfortable for me.

I get that it can be annoying and I look scummy for it to people who aren't used to my early approach (and even some who are used to it), but once I get started that concern usually goes away. Usually.

I'm also working and just popping in here to shoot the shit every few minutes or so as a little break.

Thank you for thinking my scum game isn't weak. I will admit that I think my scum game is weaker than others do, but other than the flying scumsman which I hydra'd in last year, I have not drawn scum in 4? years? While I think I have a terrible scum game in general, I do not expect my first time drawing scum solo in four years to be anything but me obvscumming immediately and being able to do nothing about it.

Was I right in remembering that you preferred to go out first in most scum teams? What would be different about this game than that? (Or was that the joke you were referring to?)

[Tammy]

Never mind you answered that last one.

[Infinity 324]

'the worst' initial scumping for claiming to not know the rules on page 3, when they had been referenced a couple times already by that point - potentially tricking someone into an early OMGUS trust thing. and also repeated claims Enchant is town, with no reason given.

a couple mildest of mild townpings. Liked Pookythemagicalbears opening appeal, felt genuine and performative where scum might worry about seeming needy. nothing else for now but I'm watching you.

i also hadn't read that rule by that point and didn't see where it was referenced?

I understood what you meant and was expecting you to call me out for it.

The theory question wasn't so much of a theory question as me trying to understand your mindset. That's not quite right, but I've drank a lot of tea and too much caffeine makes me tweaky and that's the best I got. I can't quite word what exactly I was looking for with that question or if it would have helped me in any way, but I'm pretty sure you've stated before that you prefer to be the first one to go in a mafia team which I thought was interesting because you do have a strong scum game. So, you saying that you would prefer to go last felt a little incongruous with that previous statement and I wondered if it was due to the game mechanic or if it could be alignment relevant.

I'm not reading his posts

@Moderator please check if this is allowed under site rules

[Tammy]

uh oh Duckie don't get yourself banned!

[the worst]

what would I get banned for?

[Tammy]

I'm not reading his posts

@Moderator please check if this is allowed under site rules

Oh I forgot you had him on ignore. My bad.

[the worst]

I don't actually have him on ignore. He quoted the post where I slipped up and accidentally admitted that I'm reading his posts. Clever bear.

[the worst]

uh I mean, I think he did. I'm still not reading his posts. nope, not me, never.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

lol

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

He quoted the post where I slipped up and accidentally admitted that I'm reading his posts. Clever bear.

which post is this?

[MafMen]

hey guys im a bit rusty what does it mean when your rolecard is red again

[the worst]

the lesson i learned from the last run of this is that even if i get perfect reads people will just ignore me and throw so im not going to give a shit about catching bad guys this time and just focus on convincing tammy that i am very town :2

haven't read the quoted ydr but based on context clues, I feel like I should say hard pocketing one person into mid/lategame was literally Pooky's plan as scum in this setup previously

but then again (based on context clues) this is too overt and funny to actually be a strong indicator of that agenda. I think? someone tell me if I'm right I'm just guessing here

[the worst]

hey guys im a bit rusty what does it mean when your rolecard is red again

it means that it's lovely to see you again

[Klick]

This playerlist is insane

Tammy, how do you think you'd be approaching the start of this right now if you were scum, that you're not doing now (if anything)?

[the worst]

that said I'm not reading his posts so would that make his day? I don't know. I simply intuit that it would.

I have thIs sudden urge to quote this post and point out that it acknowledges my proceeding post says things about Pooky which I wouldn't know if I wasnt reading his posts

either that, or I've just successfully guessed everything pooky has said in this game so far because I'm magical but still not reading his posts.

hint: it's the latter

[Klick]

I think ducky is obvtown

[the worst]

thank you!! finally someone else sees it

[MafMen]

that's such a scummy reaction what

wtf

that's not how this works at all

big townie energy here
