anyway I'm going back to rereading the D2 momentum shift to Tweet
the only thing I noticed there so far was that fire was pushing a {ss deas dann shea} pool in 5211 which is very different than the pool he's at now but I kinda feel fi scum with agenda he would actually be more consistent and more rigid in pushing those options and that worldview, especially cause most of them could still be viable scumreads & pushes
I want to trace where the DV scumread evaporated but I think the pivot overall is +town"I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever. I think at seventeen now I believe the only real monsters might be the type of liar where there's simply no way to tell. The ones who give nothing away"-

yeah
I think rereading this part of the game, Frog's vote on Tweet is the worst
the only other thing I wanted to call out, if we're in late game and I'm dead and gone and we're still trying to find last scum, I want this noted:
In post 5256, DeasVail wrote:But also I think tweet is probably scumIn post 5257, Nero Cain wrote:so vote there?the snap questioning by Nero, I could easily see it being town, but I could also see it being scum trying to bus and score points without need/incentive to properly sort DV. so something for future reference
@fire I don't think you should put a ton of stock of shifting momentum after Gamma replaced out cause, it could have been a planned bus as soon as Tweet saw the red role PM and didn't have the WIM, and I also think with vigs in play scum need enough towncred to not be a vig shot
I still wanna read a lot more but the appealing worldview to me is Mena > Frog >>>> (if game continues) Nero"I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever. I think at seventeen now I believe the only real monsters might be the type of liar where there's simply no way to tell. The ones who give nothing away"-

I think the Baltar associatives for Nero were good though, I need to reread those but Baltar felt very awkward explaining why he wasn't fighting with Nero and I sorta believe him when he said if they were scum together they'd probably ham up a shitfight
felt very much more like Baltar was playing around Nero"I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever.

i mean part of it was that i just felt he was expressing real thoughts with the stuff he was going after and getting annoyed that his reads were called bad and stuff, plus in general seemed to be scumreading vpb + gammaIn post 7675, Dannflor wrote:I am hoping people have had better reasons to town read Nero than just Gamma getting mad at Nero
I've seen Gamma get very emotional towards scum mates more than once
but if you look where his vote actually went and how little effort he put toward convincing people to vote gamma until the replace, its a bit......not great. and i feel like hes been pushing people for shallow reasons and him going after ausuka is pretty icky-

starting my reread and don't really think nero/mena are buddies in any world
this whole interaction and the ensuing skitter not understanding that nero was joking just seems... unlikely for skitter to behave that way towards a buddy?

i mean frankly, ydrasse flipping mason did make me think that maybe datisi and scamper are masons, yeah? i didn't *know* but it was the most obvious conclusion to me and i was confused why you were not only saying scamper was probably GS, but acting sure enough of that possibility to push datisi, which just seemed like an anti town thing to doIn post 7641, Nero Cain wrote:like I was hardly the first to mention that Dats could be a mafia doc, and you fakeclaimed GS earlier so I felt like it was a little ??? that Ausuka would go "why would Nero ever think Scamper is a GS?"
i still don't understand it but it appears it was at least not TMINo matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.-

i agree nero's push on me is ??? but like, i felt the same in the last game we played together and thought he was just tunneling me and that turned out to be correct. and i get a similar feeling in this game.
i feel like this sort of stubborness is the sort of thing i expect from town nero?
i still feel like the push on gamma and her replacing out is not the sort of thing i expect from s/s but it seems like people disagree with thatNo matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.-

yeah from my experience when you get a lot of roles of the same type, like confirmable roles, in a game, the nrg gets a lot more cautious about how it affects balanceIn post 7642, scamper wrote:anyway...
i'm going to try to review everyone over the next few days to be sure (minus csf and dats), it's just hard when a game is this dense and i feel like things are kind of...disjointed in terms of all the replacements. would be easier when the game is down to fewer names but i really don't have that luxury
anyawy now that info is out in the open i *want* to say this feels like a 5 scum setup just b/c all the masons, the vigs, and the UB are confirmable town roles which is a lot in a 20p although ofc there's room for friendly fire...but i think generally it's best to play assuming a potential worst case scenario rather than hoping for a less powerful scum team. just keep it in mind for the future
i don't think we can be sure if it's 4 or 5 but if it's 4 i guess we should look out for lots of scum power in case that ever becomes more relevant?No matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.-

hewwo yes i am a masom with scamper and ydra
i was hoping we wouldn't have to claim yet but also this removes the VERY annoying thing of "i am being secretive as to not out the masons!!" so y'know not bad overall
ftr this was my thought process too, because 6 confirmable roles + the vig shots just seems way too much for a 4p scumteamIn post 7642, scamper wrote:anyawy now that info is out in the open i *want* to say this feels like a 5 scum setup just b/c all the masons, the vigs, and the UB are confirmable town roles which is a lot in a 20p although ofc there's room for friendly fire...but i think generally it's best to play assuming a potential worst case scenario rather than hoping for a less powerful scum team. just keep it in mind for the future
4p + traitor maaaaaaaybe but i'm guessing 5 goon scum, personally
which is also why i, uh, instantly wanted to murder morning tweet when she claimed fn because like. that meant 6 conf prs. then it turned out enchant was ALSO a conf pr which like lole i guess? but yeah uh
i'll read the fire walls (hehe) a bit later i just wanted to check in and let y'all know scamper is conftownI will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”~M-

also, i skimmed and i don't think this was mentioned, so
we're getting a new nero (viewtopic.php?p=13517177&f=4#p13517177)
so that's gonna be FUN and totally not even more confusingI will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”~M-

i'm still of the thought that nero wouldn't call out vpb's "wow you're not interacting with me" so publicly... but eh, willing to wait for a rep and see what they do igIn post 7683, scamper wrote:

also, i read fire's cases on gl/frog and like. i really like the case on gl. i've been feeling uncomfy with gl for a bit now, but i wasn't able to mentally put gl and mena into the same team. but seeing how fire explained it (and seeing that gl didn't call him out for any bs, meaning the case is probably factually accurate) it actually makes sense.
frog one i also liked, but that one is a bit more difficult for me to ~understand~, i guess. probably because i mentally slotted frog as "way too annoying to be scum, next" and am sticking with it. to be fair i should really reskim the large normal. so i guess my main q to fire, since you were town in that game - how similar/different frog's play is there and here? my pov on that game is informed so i'm not sure i can be objective here.I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again.

I don't like either of them but I like the one on GL marginally more
I still don't think frog is scum, and if you think I'm scum then that's a mildly insane thought process to hold given that u know me -- how does it make sense that I would rep in, tell frog to bus me like hell and then not yell at him and at least make it look good"we knew everything... And we knew nothing."
