Tammy, I don't see that you and Demona went any further with the post I specifically bucketed. Is that exchanged settled or no?

That was apparent from the …rising.

I do struggle with that as scum, but I can. I don’t think anyone in this game is really adept at seeing what I wrote about people and being able to decipher when the wheels in my brain are actually turning and when I’m just saying shit, so it’s not impossible for me to make those posts.

What is hard for me is scumreading a friend who would expect me to get it right. And I never in a million years tell you that your skitter read is lazy, unless we were scum together. Maybe if skitter and I were partnered but probably not even then.

So you’re heading in the right direction just picking up on my lesser struggles.

~~~

I’ll respond to absinthe in a bit. Think I’m gonna try to finish Christmas shopping so I can get it in the mail.

That was done. Nobody really interacted with that thought much so I figured it was a dumb idea.

And that was what I wanted to say about it. Scum CAN be a near or total universal town read and win the keep.

I had a moment of Zen last night and I'm holding onto it.

People who object to me being in the Keep should probably say so.

Oh yeah, no I know that. I was thinking in the case that we were right on our town reads we stuck there that it would force scum to use one move to put scum in the keep, which would limit what they could do in the night. I was thinking in the best case scenario how can we impact the moves scum make while giving us a better chance of winning the keep.

I realize there’s still a load of wifom involved and our reads can certainly be wrong. I was just thinking along the lines of how can we try to limit what scum can do. Does that make sense? I realize it might also be a dumb idea but I’ve never seen how things play out in this setup so idk

Heh. I don't know if my previous game turned out to be at all typical. It was a disaster for town, though, and a lot of it came down to the Keep.

If my idea for the keep is bad, then I don’t care where people go or when. Right now I’m at the stage of people should just go where they want to go and we can sort that out tomorrow.

You wAnna go to the keep? Go to the keep.

how likely do you think it is that scum!faker would have actually been targeting the keep rather than counting on me locking in the keep and you all going elsewhere?
I don't really think he would have been anticipating that you would make a particular move or playing around that given everyone had seemingly agreed to take it slow. At any rate, the keep is difficult to win as scum and likely not playing to his strengths by going there. This is all tentative though.

I'm not sure exactly why absinthe didn't clarify this, and focused more on the reads portion, but the way I interpreted the original post was that she was saying that she would be the decider due to being the consensus scumread among the Keep players (scummiest person decides is the standard Keep play). Which I think does line up with what you're saying here.

It feels meaningful, somehow, that absinthe focused on analyzing your reads portion of this rather than clearing up what looks to me like a misunderstanding. But maybe I'm the one misunderstanding something here? :oops:

My location opinions haven't changed, I still like:

Keep: Faker/catboi/absinthe
Wall: demona/Isis/Chara
Gate: skitter/Tempest/Coral

I'm also interested to hear skitter's location thoughts here, which won't be for a few hours yet I suppose.

I have a few thoughts that I think would be better shared once we're on day 2. I am somewhat itching to share them but I think it would be harmful to do so now.

That alone is making me want to get to day 2, but I'll try not to be too impatient :?

I think besides that aspect, taking our time here isn't a bad thing.

I'm pretty sure I already expressed this thought well before Tempest's post, so that doesn't appear to be what needs clarification.
