Red is still the scummiest. I might be wrong on purple. What do people make of Star wanting to be left out?

[Color Blue]

I feel somewhat lost

I will try again tomorrow.

What's there to feel lost about?

I don't understand how people are where they are

[Circle Shape]

i dont think purity of pairings is even essential given the lack of loverization and may just lead to obvtown pairs getting offed

i may be happiest pairing with a null read who i can try to sort in private

thats my last thought for the night

[Arrow Shape]

Okay. I poked at Green for starting the game trying to discuss mechanics.
They responded decently but not enough for me to feel much.

Circle's back and forth with me, makes me feel like we're relatively on the same page.
Though, I guess his ability to interpret me might in fact be TMI. But I haven't really seen it utilized this way before.

Purple's take on Star is dislodged, but there's a natural feeling when you get a certain level of experience that we have to counteract our own biases about a player's weirdness, so I can see how circle reached the conclusion that they might be too weird to be scum.

This is a bad idea.

And a question to all, what do you think of players who have unusual posting patterns? For example, posting near midnight, writing in an unorderly fashion, you name it.

What do posting patterns have to do with alignment? Especially in an anonymous game, with anonymous time zones?

I have townpings from Circle and mild scumvibes off Purple's entrance.

I am looking for a partner with a great taste in music and also hopefully very active.

Must like long walks and have a great sense of humor.

Also preferably of town alignment because I don't need to be pocketed in a PT that would not be fun.

And a question to all, what do you think of players who have unusual posting patterns? For example, posting near midnight, writing in an unorderly fashion, you name it.

Picking out midnight posting is very strange to me; we don't know anyone's schedules or timezones, so how would we even judge something like that? Why would it matter even if we could?

This feels a bit fishy.

OK. I apologise for my terrible entrance.

PAIR: Star

because he is my top town read. Also, I agree with everything that he has said so far. Who could possibly do a better job?

Uh...no thanks. I town lean you but I'm standing by the plan for now.

[Color Orange]

Let's get pairing! I will start.

PAIR: Circle Shape

, one of my favourite shapes.

How can you pair before anyone else has even posted?

I have small pings from this post. It's a very... meh question.

It's weird playing a game with no RVS...

Since being unpaired doesn't mean automatic death in this game, I can volunteer to be the lone shape. In this scenario, I'll just keep the Delay holstered so it won't be an issue going forward. I'd prefer to be paired of course, but I think this is the easiest way to deal with this situation and make it a non-issue.

And this one as well, perhaps a bit more. Star, why make this sort of post to volunteer if you're going to undercut it immediately with a preference? It comes across a bit LAMIST-y to me.

I like the ability to strip mafia of a power; it's annoying to give them a roleblocker but at least we know what it is, where it might go, and if it's given to town we can leash it hopefully.

This reads as TMI. How do you know scum has a Roleblocker?

...whatever Power is left out receives a delayed roleblocker in lieu of their actual power. Thus, we know what power one person has.

Game-specific rules and information:
* One Power will be left unpaired at the beginning of Phase Two. This player's Power will be converted into a limited one-time use of a Delayer Implementation. They will choose a Pair before the end of Phase Two whose Power implementation will be Delayed upon submission by one Night for the rest of the game (actions submitted on Night X will resolve on Night X+1 but will still be potentially impacted only by actions made by others on Night X). This will be done via private communication with the mod. If they are eliminated Day One or choose not to use their Power, no Pair will be Delayed.

Roleblocker isn't quite what the role is, but it's delaying someone temporarily from using role.

These seem like town posts.

[Color Blue]

mmm

i think this is a good point

I guess I will take someone who wants to post a lot ! ! !

I just want to have some fun

[Color Orange]

I did say I was probably a vig right?

If arrow = vig then green could = loyal. Which would be an awful pairing.

I'm sure that's how the roles were rolled.

If you must tunnel town read me, could you please do it in a corner.

I wish I could say it's as strong as a tunnel town read. But I'm ok with looking at other slots for now.

I'm not into speculating the existing powers right now.

[Arrow Shape]

Yellow is my favorite color out of the available colors and to be even more honest, I like 113 enough to take a jump and see where I land.

Pair Yellow

Don't worry. If you want, I can

unpair

. But if you change your mind, I'll be waiting.

[Color Purple]

actually my new hypothesis is that purple would have discussed strategy with his teammates in the pt pregame

his cluelessness is likely town

i like this read

Sure.

Purple, Circle, Arrow. -> All town. Did anyone sneak in.

Thanks.

[Pentagon Shape]

I feel like I'd rather leave a town unpaired because even if delayer is anti-town, I'd rather have it in town's hands. I think a good strategy might be to never use it until 2 scum are dead?

I like this thinking but the obvious problem is how do we know? Perhaps scum will try to look townie to be left unpaired to get delayer?

I don't think that's how a delayer works.

I also think it'd be more informative & exciting for us to eliminate the unpaired player.

I do like the way you think about this and think it's more likely to come from town.

If pairs aren’t loverized I think that’s only a good idea if the unpaired slot is the scummiest. If not, that could be suboptimal.

The solution here is to either treat a Delay as a scum claim from the Delayer, or just vote out the Delayer. That's why I volunteered, because if I ultimately end up getting scum read then you can just vote me out, and if I'm town read but a Delay happens then you would know I'm scum.

Best case scenario however is that today we find at least one scum that is a Shape, make them go solo, and then vote them out to get rid of scum and the Delayer at the same time.

I’m onboard with that, unfortunately the slot I currently feel the worst about is a color. I should probably review diamond or heart again.

[Pentagon Shape]

So I know it isn’t me and unless I’m wrongly reading circle and arrow and it isn’t star, then it would have to be between heart and diamond, assuming only one scum in shapes?

But with one extra power, it would seem likely at least one.

I really don’t have a read on either but based soloey by PoE, scum is probably likely in at least one. Red looks the worst from the colors with my liking yellow, orange, blue and maybe purple?

Have no idea on green yet but slots that haven’t impressed me yet are: red, heart, green, diamond.

Oh so maybe it’s triangle if they’re avoiding the game?

[Color Blue]

what do you mean?

I tried to read before bed and it was confusing because I was tired and I'll probably have a better grip today.

[Pentagon Shape]

Purple just became my #1 townread.

[Color Blue]

Spoiler: Catchup to Pg 4

light townping on 30 for Heart

don't like Pentagon's entry

Nullish on Star Entry. Might be scummy but I've seen town do this too.

Like Orange

@Red what did you like about Pentagon when you made 41 ?

Like Diamond 42

Arrow/Green back and forth is funnies

I like both of them actually !

I liked Circle 697476

Don't like Star 73

I like 80 from Arrow

I like 88 from Yellow

I'm worried I might be confbiasing on Purple but I didn't like 89

Don't like 90 from Red -> find it weird he didn't address all the criticism thrown his way 93 is ??

92 find this weird don't think star is very townie

Currently around:

Likes: Orange Green Arrow Yellow

Dislikes?: Red Purple
