I agree that there is no mechanical autowin, thought the fact that we only need a (correct) towncore of 3 people who we will never vote for seems pretty powerful

What I will say Cephy is im getting very much pocketing vibes from you. You seem to be giving no resistance to anything im doing, and low key going with it.
I agreed with you about one read

What else are you even doing for me to hypothetically resist
The fact my play is everywhere and by votes I think I'm currently the most sus person here?
It is a lot on vibe, I'm used to having clashed with you once or twice at least by this point.


Anyway, 2 down, they must really be demotivated. :/

furtive said something in the hood that made me realise something.

The part of mastina's post I agree with is that Town is in a good spot, we can afford to miseliminate a few times, maybe there's something to the idea of townhunting a bit, etc.

I have no faith in mastina's proposed towncore of mastina-Nancy-Yume. I townread Nancy and Yume but not enough to bet the game on it right now, and I nullread mastina.

Now for the realisation I've had: mastina has previously said that she hasn't towntold yet and I don't think she's done much since. That seems slightly at odds with what she's saying now, that it is sufficient to know that mastina-Nancy-Yume are Town. mastina, do you think you've towntold yet? Suppose I buy that Nancy and Yume are Town. Convince me you're Town too?

mastina's recent posting is towny, by the way. Source: meta.
Hey Yume! I'm curious about why you voted me here and also about the meta on mastina. Sorry if I missed this and you've already said somewhere.

I voted you based on gut, basically. As for the meta thing, I can't really explain that either. I only know that's it true.

3rd in slot, you predessors did absolute jack but one of them was active in game, as far as I'm bothered in a game with loweffort scum your slot needs to be yeet as a safety matter. You give some information (hitting red is always better) and you need to be resolved before YOLO - on the upside we haven't missed yet.

In post 1180, Save The Dragons wrote:Flea can you elaborate on the pocketing vibes
There seems to be zero resistance from Ceph towards me, everyone else seems to have had a "eeeh really flea?" moment or has been vocal in support. The vibe from ceph is very very subtle and almost seems to be under radarish.
In post 1194, mastina wrote:Oh don't you fucking dare try to make Yume suspicious off of something she does every game.

She literally was giving me more time.

YUME.
Giving me, MASTINA.
More time.

Tell me that's a fucking scum move from Yume, I fucking dare you.

It's not; it's null-at-
worst
, and quite likely, actually solidifies her as town.

Her hopping off doesn't get her towncred; her hopping off doesn't save Ythan; her hopping off does one thing and one thing only; is her attempt to make my life easier.

In post 1197, mastina wrote:(My preferred challenge today tbh would actually be Ceph vs. Gimli, since the only teams with no bussing are {Aisa, Gimli}, {Flea, Gimli}, and {Flea, Aisa}. Which, while all of those are possible, does lead me to suspect that maybe--just maybe--there is a scum voting. But I've got 28 pages to read so this is mostly based on how strongly I fucking hate .)
I mean, ignoring I'm a chronic busser I've been taking shots the gimlis slot all the way and still don't like Aisa.
Also yeah I acknowledge my position here as potential scum by VCA. Disagree on autowin. Dislike you're setting yourself up as locktown when you've been notably absent yourself.

At this point the pool is absolutely myself, you, Aisa and Gimli.
