mmmmm over under on the sincerity here?In post 2594, obscure wrote:@thestatusquo I am a new player. I'm not asking to be seen as townie for it as I do have experience with social deduction games but I would prefer if you respect the fact that I am new regardless because... what you're saying is coming across as quite offensive when I'm only trying to figure things out. Maybe I seem dumb but subbing into a game for the first time in so many pages as my first game ever isn't exactly easy.
More thoughts tomorrow.

One of you/obscure

And maybe someone else
I know thats a weird question so let me rephrase.
How long have you thought each person on that list could be scum?
You’re also recent (altho I think you replaced Relly so the recency may change based on that, I thought Relly was sus as well late into D1)
I thought skitter was scummy and also think you have good points against obscure
HEM has been in my scumreads for a whileThat’s kinda meant to be a teamguess attempt
So I’m focusing on my leading suspects
A good number of the people in my distrust list I has earlier could qualify as scum suspects<Embrace The Void>

I’ll get into the other reads later but for Marci specifically I think according to her own self-meta, she’s playing as I’d predict she would as scum. Her rudeness (she self-describes her play as sometimes rude so I don’t feel there’s a problem saying this) in parts feels a fair bit off-kilter.In post 2772, Thestatusquo wrote:You also missed a key part of my question, which I'd still like you to answer

Did you care about who got flipped d1?
I guess a better question is, do you usually care as town who is flipped d1?
Because thats what I'm struggling with here. It seems like you didnt care who was flipped at all.
Like maybe you expressed some suspicion of HEM or skitter somewhere, but I didn't see a lot of evidence that you had any meaningful investment in getting them yeeted.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner-

And now your scum team which you've now explicitly said was a team guess includes me and a person who basically no one had expressed any suspicion of until I brought it up in a game where the wolves just lost a member on N1.
Which doesn't make a whole ton of sense to me either.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner-

I didn’t really care, actually. And I think if that surprises you to see me act this way then either you weren’t paying attention to my D1 gameplay in TM 2021, or you’re overlooking it for what I have to presume are nefarious reasons.In post 2781, Thestatusquo wrote:Did you care about who got flipped d1?

my psych eval must be long and detailedOf all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

but you suggested that there were 5 scum earlier so why is your team guess only 3? I know you'll point to your 3rd sentence but I still find it odd that your guess was only 3 hard reads and not 5. I'm not really sure why Dats and Frog weren't included in your guess or why relly leap frogged them.In post 2777, Gamma Emerald wrote:That’s kinda meant to be a teamguess attempt

Ok I actually did the thing and briefly skimmed gammas iso in white flag which is the team mafia game she is referring to.
(viewtopic.php?t=74687&f=127&st=0&sk=t&s ... er_sort=Go) for anyone wondering.
And I have to say...I find your day one play there completely different in a lot of different ways. And the most obvious one is that you DO seem invested in finding scum and flipping someone you're suspicious of. You DO seem invested in engaging with people about their reads. You DO feel like you're trying to scum hunt.
Now, its a team mafia game so everyone amps up their tryhard a little bit for those games so I don't think its like definitive or anything, but its the game YOU brought up as the one where I should remember as you playing like you're playing here as town is normal.
And its simply not. It's not remotely the same. It's not even close.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner-

My reservation there is that I had literally just called Gamma out about that right before the outburst, so seems like it could be fake.
there could be other Gamma stuff but I got tired of looking at VP's ISO. A post like 2328 always makes me think of the "vote town, bus buddy" strat. He calls him sorta scummy in his last two posts which you could maybe argue makes him less likely to be scum but I think its...null?In post 2363, VP Baltar wrote:I could see this.

My intuition is that an experienced player like VPB would be aware of this trope and wouldn't be inclined to go for it as a direct response to being told to vote a buddy.In post 2792, Nero Cain wrote:A post like 2328 always makes me think of the "vote town, bus buddy" strat.
Then again, if he wasn't set up to townread buddy-Gamma and he felt it wasn't strategically sound to bus there, I'm not sure what else he could have done.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!-

I skimmed among us where I modded you too and you are extremely invested in that game day one as well but not really in the sense that you're trying to find scum, although I still see way more prods at people than I see here, but that game you were heavily invested in a mech solve component so I don't think its a really good case study, just wanted to say I looked at it too for completeness.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner-

And I think the subsequent stuff is also not a trajectory I would expect if Gamma were a buddy. I think he'd be more likely to already have a stance on Gamma in mind?It's always the same.

Hi um I'm tired so I'm not going to do anything useful sorry
1) baltar owned
2) I voted Marci because I was pissed basically and really did not feel like engaging in that moment
3) I feel like you've brought this up multiple times and no one has explained this but @TSQ dannflor being a deepwolf is just a meme. The real reason people called him scum is because his predecessor did nothing and his posts were unimpressiveReach for my hand, I'll soar away into the dawn
