I hadn't actually noticed whether or not you were speaking to him in thread or not

but interesting
I noticed he was talking about me, but not to me. But, there's a lot going on.

I kinda hoped Radja would make an appearance over (my) night.

Sure, if we want to have that stuff in public, I'm fine asking here too - why was that post you quoted interesting to you?

(Also, that's not my name.)
The part about alts was interesting. How to read you and SCRRRD given your join dates was something I kept coming back to. You had phrased something similar in the game thread, but the implication of your post in the hood was a little more emphatic. Reading it again this morning, the difference in phrasing is not as pronounced as I was thinking yesterday.
I was wondering if you're aware that that was not a readslist, just a copy-paste of the playerlist.

I was not planning for a difference in phrasing, for what it's worth. Though reading over both, I'm not sure how you see the hood post as more empathic, or what that even means in this context.

lowkey this is true but also the alternate lim options are not really speaking to me
I would do Dann if that wagon happened or maybe Radja
Are you not considering a small hood elimination? You had a vote down on my slot earlier, and you called my posts "manufactured".

This is not something that jumped out at me reading the thread in replacement mode.
It is something that I've felt, though. I started off strong because there were things to do; there's only so many things you can do when your two main scumreads are lurking.

Also, I think fferyllt should be given zero town points for not hammering Pooky. If she is scum and he's town, it's probably optimal for her to not hammer him, even if she's in danger of getting eliminated herself.

If she gets BEAR eliminated, then good for her, she scored a miselim. If Pooky gets eliminated and flips town, then she scores town points for not hammering him. If she gets eliminated and flips red, Pooky is probably getting eliminated first thing Tomorrow morning. She can't lose.

Obviously she can't hammer in the event that she IS scum with Pooky, but I kind of don't really think Pooky is scum, so.

When I read it last night, I was tired and trying to get rehydrated. By more emphatic I mean that when I read it, I interpreted the hood comment as something close to "there's probably at least one alt in this hood".

Rereading it, I think I was projecting my reluctant pattern-match quest. I don't want to do it, but pattern matching is what I default to in mafia. Neither of you so far really remind me of specific other players. There's a whole swath of players I seldom encounter because I mostly avoid open setups and the normal queues. So on the one hand, I want to dismiss the question and just treat you both as competent players of at least middling experience. On the other hand, shut up pattern match neurons, I'm busy.

Oh, the hood comment was meant more as "the big hood contains only established players, and the small hood contains only one established player". With the potential implication that Somnus is scum for it, as the odd one out. But I think I was already finding him scummy at the time, so that might be my own bias speaking.

Hey hey!

I had a really rough day so I'll keep this short.

Hi fferyllt! Glad to see you in a game!
Unfortunately for you, you're in a horrible slot.

I reaaaaaally dont want to eliminate from the small hood. Can we not do that please?

Fferyllt, are you all caught up?

I dont really have a lot to add here, I think the day has lasted long enough.

Will try to be around more tomorrow

Elaborate on the bolded?

I initially thought that him going so long without a hammer indicates scum. None of the small hood seems to have an appetite there. We were all in-thread while he was at e-1.

To actually answer your question - I'd expect the big-hood-scum to be positioning themselves better. From what I see, Pooky is a capable scum player. I'd assume that he'd be planning to effort if he was placed into the big hood. And this doesn't really feel scary.

I don't usually put a vote down until I'm 100% on where I want it to be.

I also prefer to observe how my own wagon forms/unforms/reforms/etc., without jostling it.

Not as caught up as I want to be. Trying to do isos this morning, but the game thread is active and I can't resist real-time interaction.

Fortunately for me, I don't have to be alive to win the game!
