T3,

Have you played many games with Natalya?

Probably.

Is this sarcasm? Is it apathy? Do you not know?

I don't know for a fact. Natalya is an alt,

probably

of a player I've played with a lot.

Fair. Thanks for clearing that up.

[Natalya]

I have never seen T3 before but I know he has a reputation for being crazy

[Natalya]

I mean, so far I'm liking Natalya, not gonna lie

I am too, I really like that opening, even if I was the random target.

It wasn't random... I really thought your openly line felt scummy :[

[Natalya]

This is the first time I’ve ever been scum read for my RVS vote.

Thanks for making me feel special <3

[Retti]

Hi, do you have thoughts on his posts since that opener? Good, bad, anything at all?

[Natalya]

I am still voting for him!

[Natalya]

This feels like a weird thing for him to say given how many questions he has posed towards me.

I'm not sure what the point of him questioning me is if he thinks I'm town.

[Natalya]

His mindset doesn't make sense to me.

The questions he asks on page 3/4 don't feel like they are intended to catch mafia or really progress the game state in a pro-town direction

[Natalya]

I also agree with T3’s sentiments on Scorpious for now. The reaction to a scumread based on one post seems a little too defensive, but it’s not enough for me to fully scumread them at the moment.

It was the carry over. And the insistence. Naturally I’m going to question play I’ve never seen before.

This explanation for why he's questioning me is just ??

Like it feels so explainy.

"naturally I would do this" is not really a good reason to do anything ?

It's hard for me to see why he's interested in the answers to the questions he is asking.

[Natalya]

I don't see how Scorp is really doing things to solve/hunt for mafia

He seems more concerned with defending himself from something that he sees as fairly frivolous and pointless.

I don't really see why that would be his main concern if he thinks this is just an RVS thing with really no substance to it?

[Natalya]

I don't really want this game to be dominated by me pushing him; I would like other people to be involved and do things so I will shut up for a while ^_^

I agree with this and the subsequent posts.

Yo forgot about this game

Also too tired to catch up

I actually agree with this. I wanted him to give reads on stuff other than the RVS controversy and he just missed my question in favor of talking about the vote some more. Feels a little more geared towards self-preservation than scumhunting.

VOTE: Scorpious

Can you give us some reads on the game beyond Natalya and the RVS vote?

[Oman]

Good morning. What an interesting start to a game. Please to be here for it.

Andante is the obvious elephant in the room, but I'm not overly concerned at this point. I know people can get really talky when they're scum but eh I'm mostly seeing enthusiasm. The response to #33 wasn't stellar, but also doesn't give me enough red flags.

If I was going to pick a direction to go now, it'd be VOTE: Natalya.

Really? I feel like Andante wanting to push the game out of RVS phase is distinctly town-indicative. Worst case scenario it gives us associatives/more information if they do flip scum.

Why do you scumread Natalya?

Again, I'm a long time out of the game. But it reads more kind of jumpy. I only looked back through one completed game to see if Andante is this...uhhh cyclonic(?) in other games and didn't see it. I normally see that kind of push as not town, or new, basically a degree of "eagerness" that comes of being excited for the game to roll into "the good bits".

I don't scumread Natalya. I just think she has nice links to other people Early on, I'm not gonna paragon out the scum team or anything, but connections between people are the most valuable resource. Especially re: Scorpius because there's a nice web around there.

LMAOOOO This is great. "Andante is talking a lot. Has to be scum indicative"

That's...absolutely not what I said. Mate, c'mon. I actually said the opposite. Playing me off so disingenuously isn't helpful to anyone.

Welcome back, yeah I played a game on another site and was thinking : “I wonder if MS is still a thing”

TURNS OUT IT IS! I heard that Patrick Gower won the Nisei world champs and I was like "huh, we used to play mafia together"

The fact that there was “reasoning” behind the vote, then the attempt at recruiting the most verbose player thus far, which was promptly ignored.

This was perhaps the most interesting thing for me. Because that kind of recruitment is a start of a connection.

like, it's like we're trying to go no where

This kind of meta demand is frustrating to me, because it treats early day one as a "solved problem". It's absolutely not. Any step could be an interesting one. It doesn't have to be generating a wagon, then investigating people who were 4th on the wagon, or whatever those conventional wisdoms are. This game is pacing well, there's some good discussion. It's not going no where, and I'm not really concerned that we did RVS wrong or anything.

Eh, I'll bite: Why Natalya?

Connections. Pushing one person usually doesn't generate anything interesting. Pushing someone that other people have had opinions on usually generates more.

i have some thoughts on the game but won't say them yet VOTE: scorpio

Don't love this attitude :/


I personally get town vibes from Scorpius, and would put one scum on the Scorpius wagon already, which is one of Az, Egix, Fua. Az obviously has given me nothing to go on, and page 3/4 Fua is a strong town-read for me. Egix also hasn't given me enough to really press on.

At this point, I think there's more value in working two competing wagons rather than pushing my own agenda anywhere (again, not a pargon over here).

I'll VOTE: Vote: T3 because I think we can actually get momentum on it, and again, strong connections with other players. D1 takes 7, so I've no sweat with Either wagon hitting 4 votes with the level of activity/momentum we have here.

[GeorgeBailey]

yeezys is being replaced.

[Scorpious]

Yeah, I’m not wasting anymore time “defending” myself. How such a weak push gains so much momentum is beyond me. As far as being “defensive”. That’s being manufactured, and people are buying it.I asked some obvious questions that anyone would ask. Good thing is, This train is giving me some information, though.

This might be the worst post of the game.

[Andante]

wow... Oman town, I don't see scum putting in that much effort this early

You could always try scumhunting and sharing your reads, like I asked you twice.

I lean town on Asante, don’t know what to think of Natalya, null on you, and have not a single clue how to read T3 as of now..

That’s 90% of the game right there..

[Scorpious]

Oman also joins Adante as my strongest town leans.

[Andante]

I need to V/LA till Friday, yall should be fine without me, once I'm back, I'll be a real gamesolver but yeah, finals are happening, gotta focus on that

[Andante]

nice!! the town club
