I can see implosion and GL as a scum pairing.

i was just thinking of emptyvoting one of these two and now my thunder is slightly stolen. v rude.

Imaginality (Not playing)

Ah, wait, we still have someone who hasn't posted yet?

[Cephrir]

fua, why morph town? i was just thinking it's a little alarming i don't have any reason to townread them yet

[Cephrir]

it's weird, i went to bed feeling like no one was scum and have woken up thinking everyone is scum.

[Shirou]

Tejate how experienced are you in mafia/werewolf outside of this website?

Do you like playing town or scum more?

Do you think you play town or scum better and why?

It may look like empty questions but just like with fua there's a reason I'm asking it, maybe I can explain if I feel satisfied with the replies.

[Shirou]

So my question more explicitly is, do either of you lean more town or scum on the other after that conversation?

I was starting to scum lean fua after that post before they explained it and now I'm back to null, so you could say I improved my opinion on them?

But more importantly than that...I kinda think I got information from that exchange that fua likely wouldn't want me to explain in detail. It isn't game-related but it helps out in the game you could say?

why nsg, too? i don't feel like she has done anything

I’m townbinning the hydras for now because I don’t understand their playstyle yet.

Doesn't seem like empty questions at all, actually. Seems pretty reasonable to ask, given the circumstances.
1) I have played since middle school, starting with classroom mafia. You know, the type with playing cards. I fell out of it for a bit cause I was always more interested in Mafia than my friends, but Among Us rekindled the spark for me and I've gotten back into it since. I found out about this place primarily from its wiki, which has been very useful to me in hosting my own games over Discord.
2) I'm actually pretty even on both. One of the biggest appeals for mafia for me is the team aspect, and both town and scum offer teamplay in two very different ways. As such I'm also much less keen on serial killer type roles, especially if it's immediately obvious that it's an SK game.
3) I'd say I usually play both fairly okay. My ability to properly play either faction kinda waxes and wanes with my energy level, but if I'm feeling good about the game I like to think that I do a good enough job.

oh and for last raichu is one of my favorite pokemons so I ask of you to be town so that I can see your cute avi for longer

please and thank you Tejate

Just for you, I will retroactively attempt to will a town PM into existence. My pfp was a gift from a buddy of mine, I've used it for a couple years now.

[morph the cat]

Can you put some words around your NSG townread?

Hmm

why nsg, too? i don't feel like she has done anything

I like how she’s approached the game so far and I feel like her posting is notably better than some others here. I can’t find any reason to scumread her which is more than I can say for a few people.

[fua]

Oops. Fat fingered the Shirou post cause I’m on mobile.

Have you played much with her?

[fua]

Maybe I have, maybe I haven’t. If you think her scum meta is identifiable to a person who’s played with her before then I can listen to what you have to say. I’m going based off of what she’s posted here thus far.

[fua]

If you need me to name something I think her suggestion of the top posters sitting back for a while is a good idea, especially since we have a person who hasn’t posted still.

Townlean:
Redtea

Spoiler: Entire Redtea ISO

what's up everyone what IS the tea rn

#328 made me ugly laugh

you people sl'd fua for a little airheadedness in their opening posts?
might as well tie *me* to the stake right now then

really though what I see from their iso is that they're going for more of a conversationalist playstyle rather than an essayist one.

what's up everyone what IS the tea rn

Also sorry for not welcoming, your reply kinda slipped my mind once it turned to the next page. The tea is not exactly what I'd call piping hot right now.

it's almost disappointing but yn the good and respectful vibes make up for it

nyway I only read what was between my first post and my second, I'll read the first 10 pages in the morning
peace~~

Can you explain what in the above ISO led you to putting them in this tier, amongst your towniest reads (given the hydras are there just by default and not due to an actual read of your own as per your admission)

[fua]

Redtea is actually looking at my ISO and taking context into account instead of voting with poor reasonng and dumping on to the pile like a couple of my scumreads have already. NSG also falls into that category. I acknowledge that redtea needs to post more though which is why they aren’t fully town.

[GuiltyLion]

actually though I am thinking fua's jump in is worse than Ceph's push

I townread Tejate, but I can imagine Ceph being town misfiring on him. I think if that was a T-T spat, fua's play vibes like scum looking for a distraction outside the scrutiny their own slot is receiving, and leveraging Tejate/Ceph to do it

VOTE: fua

Yes, I want a distraction from my own slot, so instead of enlisting my buddies to do something or waiting my turn, I just hop in balls-out into a pre-existing feud right after people express suspicion of me, because I'm eager to get away from the pressure of zero votes. You have solved the case very early into day 1. I'm not sure what you think my level of experience is or how well-versed I am in how to play this game, but this isn't it chief.

this post is not a good look, my vote stays

you feel extremely defensive, leans on sarcasm extra thick to try to imply that voting/scumreading you is dumb, and is the implication here supposed to be that scum you would never hop into any feud? How else would scum find things to push on or reasons to scumread people?

Where did the "solved the case" nonsense come from? Did my post give you the impression I felt I had "already solved"? Why?

[fua]

I just have a soft spot for people who correctly discern my alignment, I suppose.

do you townread fua?

I thought you claimed to be an experienced mafia player? You know if you are town, some scum will attempt to townread you and pocket you, right?

No, just incredulous that you’re agreeing with the statement I made. Not really ‘hopping into a feud’ if Ceph explicitly mentioned me to begin with, which you conveniently ignored and painted it as just me stoking the flames between him and Tejate. And again, I was being sarcastic.

[morph the cat]

I was wondering if your read of her was informed by prior games played.
