Open 873: PYP: Anime Music & Memes - Game Over!

[KingTroll]

First: In-between those two posts, I immediately read the setup to understand why it was being questioned of me. I didn't backtrack, I just didn't want to publicly admit that I had not read the setup until after the game had actually started, because that reflects poorly on me. I'm not going to talk about it any further, you're welcome to read me on it but there's nothing I can do other than say it's embarrassing until I flip town-

Second: I am not a new mafia player! I played several years ago, took a hiatus, and recently I've started playing again at places like FoL and MafiaUniverse. This is just my first non-newbie game here.

Third: Reads! I haven't been around much this game but I have a good few days ahead of me so I'm going to sort things out:

Town:
KingTroll

I'd like to think they're Town:
Taly
Cephrir
Lady Lambdadelta
unwnd
petapan
notscience
marcistar

I don't know:
Ydrasse
GreyICE

I'd like to think they're Mafia:
Lukewarm
Dunnstral
Save The Dragons
Bell

Fourth: Hello everyone! Hope we're all doing alright, I would like to livepost with anyone who's around so my slot doesn't center around me being a fool about numbers and setups!

[Taly]

thanks for the vc fix

pooky

our hydra pt right now (the brain)

also

bell

*claps*

pedit

hi

kt

do you think any of the

ydra/taly/bell

votes/pressure was a distraction from the other?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Im around but on my phone KT

Third: Reads! I haven't been around much this game but I have a good few days ahead of me so I'm going to sort things out:

talk to me a little bit about why you have those scumreads?

[Taly]

yo lld

{Ydrasse, Taly, Bell, Lukewarm}

is there anyone in this group we shouldn't vote?

- taly/vicky

[Save The Dragons]

is everyone just scumreading me?

[Taly]

Mmmm, good way to line this up, you two. 654

The most pressure resides on the slots with lower strength in personality relative to the playerlist.

Yume and I have considered the possibility of 1 scum in that group, maximum, but are not ready to lead with that assumption.

Gaia

P-edit

is everyone just scumreading me?

We are indifferent to you. Why is Ydrasse scum?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Why is your name in this group?

No, all of those are fine votes.

cause it's based around who has been voted or recently pressured the most

[Bell]

It does reflect really poorly on kingtroll that they didn’t read the set up prior to the set up.
Can you imagine?

[Bell]

*prior to the game starting.

Also I have a flat tire because random roadside tac lodged into my rear left wheel and I hate this.

[KingTroll]

hi

kt

do you think any of the

ydra/taly/bell

votes/pressure was a distraction from the other?

Hello! No, I don't feel any of those wagons were made to counter or take steam from another wagon with the intent to save a buddy. I don't feel like Bell has ever been a full wagon and I don't think your wagon is specifically crafted as "the easiest alternative to Ydrasse's elimination".

Im around but on my phone KT

Hi! That's fair, do you have any opinions on my reads?

P-Edit:

Third: Reads! I haven't been around much this game but I have a good few days ahead of me so I'm going to sort things out:

Yes I can!

Lukewarm
Dunnstral
Save The Dragons
Bell

Lukewarm: There's some interesting phrasing in their early posts (calling leading wagons "trendy") that as much as they aren't scum tells and could fairly well just be how they phrase their statements, I would associate with being purposefully distant from town wagons. They're also suspecting me because of the whole number thing, and I'd like to get their attention and have a good conversation with them about other things in the game and putting someone in scumreads is always a good way to do that!
Dunnstral: Their logic about "scum wouldn't choose the same numbers to hedge, so obviously the game is structured into these two different groups" doesn't sit right with me. The way it was stated so matter of factly gives me the vibe of "this is what my team did, so I need to look like I'm the one blowing the case open so that I can lead away from my buds"!
STD: Their introduction to the thread pinged me as uncomfortable and leaning extremely far into the meme side of things. They've only posted a few reads since then that are mostly phrased either as questions or one line statements that don't explain their reasoning about the changes in reads.
Bell: Bell posts in a style I can understand and click with fairly well! However, they seem to be doing a hard amount of slashing at people that I don't really agree with and doesn't feel to me like it's coming from a town mindset?

;>>

[Ydrasse]

voting me isn't going to accomplish a lot of a reaction right now, sorry

You aren't curious about the votes, that is counter-intuitive for town.

Gaia

it's hard to be curious for votes when you "get" the reasoning.
i'm lackluster and i can't be "luster" currently. i don't think they're egregious for a wagon presumably trying to get something out of me -- better vibes, a solve, reads, etc. i plan to be around somewhat, in whatever form i can be, and that's going to entail actually... playing. if those people double down on me after i've offered more, then i'll have more to say but for right now it's kind of just a shrug and a waiting game for them i think, so.

[Save The Dragons]

Why is Ydrasse scum?

she's playing like this game is a chore

i think she hates being scum

i'd like to put pressure there and see if we get a diamond or not

[Ydrasse]

i don't hate being scum and i'm unsure where you get that impression.
this game is a chore currently, yes, due to other factors.

[Ydrasse]

i'd be appreciative if you would point me in the direction of something you want me to give my perspective on, though.

[Save The Dragons]

no

anything would be fine

[notscience]

I’m townreading std pending some research

@KT I kinda wanna blurb about all your reads if you don’t mind, names on a sheet doesn’t help much

[Ydrasse]

it is hard for me currently to verbalize myelf well.

lld has the capacity to be scum, as i respect her play. however i have liked her overall contributions thus far. this is vague. i apologize.

marci's 351 felt wrong to me. in part i do not believe it to be a marcilike (read: coached) post and i dislike what feels like potential tmi on kingtroll. her tone is similar to town games previously but i believe that this could be a reflection of general attitude, and am not putting as much weight into it.

@whoever's around
is the bolded a possibility/am i off base?

[KingTroll]

Hi! I've already discussed my scumreads, are there any names in particular you'd like me to go on about? I really don't like doing full paragraphs for all of my townreads day one/two especially when not many solid reasons have come up to be Super Hyper Confident in anyone being town other than myself.

[notscience]

I was going to ask you who you thought would coach it but then realized I was in your scum pool and helping with stuff like that is something I like to do as scum

[notscience]

Talk to me about ceph, me, and taly KT

[Ydrasse]

I was going to ask you who you thought would coach it but then realized I was in your scum pool and helping with stuff like that is something I like to do as scum

frankly, i feel like this plist has enough people with the capacity and willingness to coach that, even if my reads are not perfect/the most accurate at least one person like that would be on the team with her

[Ydrasse]

kt is a very earnest player tonewise but he feels a little awkward in 661, especially in the read explaining portion. i kind of feel like if he is a wolf he's with luke though because that scumread feels more fleshed out and leads to actual like... mediating which you'd probably wanna do with a partner, and then the std/bell reads feel pretty theoretical/vague, like what kind of slashing did bell do that you disliked? it's the kind of read which makes it hard for the other person to bite back at.
intrigued by the dunn read though because i'm getting mental static.
