Klick has had moments where he’s felt good and moments where he’s felt real bad and idk what to think so I’m putting kawaii in because I think the claim thing makes him more likely scum than town in a vacuum and klick it’s too easy for me to see it either way
I’m basically not convinced on either by claim but mechanically I would put kawaii as the better option"we knew everything... And we knew nothing."-

I mean ideally yeah but what if you get neither and after pushing against kawaii you're super limited in what lims scum can push? IdkIn post 3523, Menalque wrote: I think that it’s prob defending a buddy but I also see a lot of scum upside to defending kawaii if he’s town — if he flips anyway you were on the right side of it going into elo and you get to push the slot you targeted the day before anyway while being consistent (me in this case)
If you get the lim you pushed instead of kawaii then you look worse but if you get flipped next kawaii (if town) looks like a buddy and you can try to win in 5p
I guess maybe that could explain why gimli was pushing so hard that the setup without comus could have scum!skygazer, and then comus made the claim?Reach for my hand, I'll soar away into the dawn-

@klick have you metadived ausuka's scumgames?
If it's just mena/sky/gera:
Town:
Combined Shield Doctor
Loud Visionary
2-shot Hider
Compulsive visitor
Unspecified Modified Investigative
5 Vannila Town
Mafia:
Unknown Informed Role
2 Mafia Goons
------------------------
I'm signing off on this setup, I now believe the final scum is geraintm.-

Because like if comus's claim was wrong there is no way sky is ever scum here and I definitely didn't like the way gimli played around it.
Maybe it is just that simpleReach for my hand, I'll soar away into the dawn-

No offence to anyone here but in what world do you get neither given the pl and level of investment in the game across the board? Like who is gonna push back hard against either one of the options, sky, enchant, gera? Not happeningIn post 3526, Ausuka wrote:

And in that worst case you probably see gera getting flipped and then you can take your pick of me/kawaii the next day"we knew everything... And we knew nothing."-

Klick also made a good point that only two town have to be wrong here and there’s so many conflicts (and have been all game) that I think scum have felt safe to just openwolf and go for the big win bc they know the chance of town coordinating sufficiently to threaten their game is v slim"we knew everything... And we knew nothing."-

Charisma and theatre are p much the exact same skill set (acting) and yet my theatre is so bad according to comus that I was easily catchable from it while it’s simultaneously good enough that I’ve managed to bring you round from fairly sceptical on me to my side
There’s just no internal consistency to the thoughts because there are none, it’s all just words to try and look good and bluster for position"we knew everything... And we knew nothing."-

i have don't know much about set up, but seems like the 5 claimed roles for town vs 1 for scum doesn't seem very fair.
it is why i have made the assumption that the claims are not all correct. or scum have something that can do something to the town roles, normally the set up gives each side something to balance the other (unless mod is just being a dick and messing with expectations, but it doesn't seem like that in this game.-

Also changing your claim after massclaim should just always be policy limmed but people don’t wanna hear that :shrug:
But if you allow it then it allows scum to do the above"we knew everything... And we knew nothing."-

I was tempted to fullclaim but no. I have reached the desired clarity though.
Scum is exactly menalque, skygazer and geraintm.
If I flip tonight this will be clear. If I don't flip tonight, I claim tommorow.

Luck.-

I mean you definitely have a point? Obviously since.d2 I have felt that comus is like full of bluster in the way he effortlessly changes between complete solves without any introspection about how it's unlikely that this specific time is the correct exact solve after all the previous instances. What changed my mind was him yelling at me after I did what was like, from my perspective I was giving him a very small dose of his own medicine there. It didn't feel especially fabricated, it just felt like he was a person I can't understandIn post 3532, Menalque wrote:

No, my solve is perfectly balanced. I have the advantage of knowing my role. Klick's role is a dud. Ausuka's role is situational. Enchant has to be very careful with the heals. Hider has power but kawaii could have handled it better.
This game is just menalque/skygazer/geraintm.
It's time for me to rest, finally. Please don't screw up this perfect POE town.-

Fwiw compulsive visitor is an F tier role, visionary is E tier and hider is D tier. I don't think any of those roles impact on balance much. I think the setup works with Enchant and either skygazer or comus. It could also work with skygazer and comus and scum in like, idk, kawaii and enchant or whatever.Reach for my hand, I'll soar away into the dawn-

This is funny.
Do scum kill me and prove my neat little solve?
Or do they keep me alive and let me get my result?
For once I'm actually enjoying this game XD

Good luck town, and think things over real good. I'm sure clarity is close ; )-

wondering if I was clearing you on emotion and activity and whatever else when a lot of your posts are crap and you're pushing townies with broken ass reasoning cause you're scumIn post 3506, Ausuka wrote:In post 3493, Gimli wrote: bye
I'm starting to doubt my ausuka townread as well
I'm guessing kawa is a townie after re-re-re-reading his ISO
he is getting rep'ed out and flaking sitewide apparently (hope saying that is not against the rules). its too bad cause lack of involvement make me doubt I should rly be townreading him.
So are you planning to elaborate orIn post 3503, Gimli wrote: I should probably unclear ausuka at this point
@klick have you metadived ausuka's scumgames?
for instance the way you're sussing klick for locktowning me is really bad. have you read that game? did you know klick was the only player thinking I was mafia in the end? also, maybe you can just ask klick what's the difference between this and hollow knight and maybe he'll tell you all about it
your reasons for scum leaning on me are pretty crap atm
I may have reasons to townread other slots more than you, perhaps especially gera?
idk what the game looks like if mena flips town but I might as well just maintain a single townread on comus and maybe on klick? def. not on you though.
btw did your metadives went anywhere?-

mena's read on both me and comus were that we were both his strongest townreadsIn post 3508, Ausuka wrote: like i think mena's read here is fairly blatantly that now he thinks gimli's play wasn't towny (which i agree with largely, my doubts on gimli mostly come from today? although my read on him has been pretty fuzzy ever since elsa faked that inno result) rather than he didn't think that back then
gimli trying to spin it to get back on mena and trying to squirm out of townreading me (which like, not having me as locktown is kind of fair, but then why did he ever have me as locktown in the first place? what changes there?) just feels gross
i think it's pretty likely gimli + kawaii + 3
the shift came with no progression whatsoever, and what he is now saying, that I was NEVER towny basically, doesn't fit well with his own leans on d1. if I was never towny, how was I a townread?-
