hmm. i guess if i were scum, rn would be firmly in the bucket of like "people i should turn people on to win the game".

do you have a read on dragons atp?

yeah, and if i were scum, i'd be pretty much playing this the same as i am right now. keep the poe as wide open as possible while feigning confusion. it doesn't really mean much, but that's why i'm paranoid of you & why you should probably be paranoid of me.

nothing notable on dragon. bob just seems confident, & they're v/la otherwise they'd be on my chopping block.

[iambrad]

actually i'm still paranoid on bob but because of the concept of the scum strat "keep the poe as wide open as possible" i've kind of just quelled it for my own sake LOL

[the worst]

you're in my "d3 pass" range, not outside of my poe. i think the consensus poe is flawed, and i think this plist is collectively more able to get a good solve on d4. especially if we get a decent lim today (any of like - yimmy, iavh, dragons, rn or like tbh i'd be a passable lim; you would be fine but similarly just not in a preference); plus vig shot in the same pool.

thing is i don't really want a wide poe. i just don't think i vibe the popular lim choices all that much.

i don't like meta casing very much because it's boring and convincing, but bob is easily the read i am the least stressed about. he's super town.

ideally yes it wouldn't be so wide, but i just can't help but see a universe where anybody is wolf. hu tao is like my strongest townread, and then bob follows it naturally. everything from there gets really wonky, but random nurse is pretty high up there just for how they've played the day 3. again, not a last wolf maneuver. naerys then follows though i'm not sure about the slot, but he can probably live to f3 in any case. everything else is wide open for me.

[the worst]

naerys uses she pronouns

our hard townreads are very shuffled, i'm pretty firmly bob > naerys > hu tao right now. perhaps hu tao is the person of the three who i'm concerned is the biggest threat, since honestly their dayplay has been really towny.

i think my concern abt rn's play here is similar to my concern about his claim. it's solid, and i could believe it, but it's really nowhere near clearing fmpov. i might also be a bit perplexed that he's just under so many people's radars and intent on shining a light on him, moreso than actually explicitly scumreading him. but i don't have any hard silver bullet scumreads. rn seems a bit checked out & is anti-charisma so i'm wary that if he does go the whole way, he's probably pretty not that hard to swing a lim in a f3 situation.

might go have a look at yimmy's read on rn again

[the worst]

whatever

this is like... the same as yimmy's read posts d1 - i just find it really perplexing reading this and thinking that people are thinking this is a fabricated read. it's unpopular, unlikely to go through, and is so semantic and unstructured i think it's more of a "got you" feeling than a fake read.

if i put this through a "rn is anticharismatic town" lens, it's also like, not containing a lot of things which make me go "rn is working from a scum mindset". but also i'm glad someone else is not townreading rn!

maybe this is a thing

Why Yimmy, Bob?

I'd prefer an iambrad lim to get some answers, and I do not trust worsts's slot either. I'm OK with one of these three so far, but STD and Naerys and the others need to start posting more, especially STD.

[the worst]

dragons is v/la, i think if we go there we need to be ready to lim

[the worst]

dragons seems to lose a lot of steam as scum as the game goes on. he did things d1 (though imo nothing clearing?), scum was guiltied d2, and he's away d3. he's currently v/la.

his current contributions aren't satisfactory for him to be townread from my perspectiev, and nothing i've seen has convinced me on it. he needs to be pressured more to be accurately readable. he's also getting a lot of townreads for reasons that have me scratching my head a bit.

[the worst]

which isn't to shade him for activity or for being busy irl. he is acting in a way which is consistent with his scumgame though. he's a very very valuable slot to keep pressure on.

[Naerys]

I dont understand, why the low suspicion towards brad. His early refusal to claim was anti town at best. I might be affected by a tunnel vision tho.

[the worst]

i think the way he's played today would have been a very strange, very poor decision if he was the last member of the mafia. i do think he needs more scrutiny, but i think just blindly eliminating him today is a bad decision.

not a tonne of people agree with me here. if you don't that's totally fair, can you talk to me about how you feel about dragons, yimmy, iavh or rn?

[Naerys]

Dragons feels strange to me. I was not fond of his troll posts, but i dont feel scum vibes from him. He just feels like a low post townie, that drops in and out however he likes.
About Yimmy, well its strange how he went from being suspicious of KKFC at 639 to town reading him at 780

Feels very sus actually

[Naerys]

sorry again for being mostly absent today. but, like i'm comfortable hammering brad. he should be able to tell that there is pressure on that slot because of a claim lol

intent to hammer

gonna give him one more post i think (or just vote before i go to bed. whichever is sooner)

Tho this gives me a bit of town vibes. Makes me bit confused.

149 is a very good post
226 is a quality post
298 is good again
324 is super valid
327 is a little defensive i think. I guess it’s because bella said it was shade. That makes sense
338 i feel like kkfc maybe should’ve backed off after he sorted civil. I wouldn’t have either though
341 yeah this is town
383 is town
384 it does
386 is good
390-391 is funny

so reads are (not ordered in tiers):

town

: std,

kkfc

light town: iavh, hu tao, naerys
null: starfire, bellaphant
light scum: rn, greeting, pc
scum: cs (this might not actually be a good read. i do not like reading his posts)

naerys - yimmy already talked through their kkfc townread here and basically formed a kkfc fan club. to me, this doesn't really look like a read on a partner. what do you think?

[Naerys]

I think such amount of trust at that stage is strange.

[Naerys]

Who here is interested in voting Hu Tao currently?

me
I would switch to Naerys if you wanted me to

When it comes to iavh lets not forget this little gem.

[Naerys]

And RN feels like agressive town to me.
Okay, accepting the fact that brad might have been my target fixation, there are 2 slots i think that truly need solving. And thats

Yimmy

and

iavh

.
UNVOTE: iambrad
VOTE: Yimmy

[Naerys]

As of right now, i believe atleast 1 scum is lurking. Bazuf/ Greeting are rather unreadable thanks to low posts and i am starting to believe atleast one of them is a scum.

If Yimmy is scum, i will die from laughter.

[bob3141]

I dont understand, why the low suspicion towards brad. His early refusal to claim was anti town at best. I might be affected by a tunnel vision tho.

The thing is anti town doesnt automatically mean scum. and anti-scum automatically doesnt mean town.

If you look at kims iso does it look like kim/civl was s/s to you. To me it looks s/t

[bob3141]

last last scum is most likely in worst/yimmy/dragon

nurse/naerys leaves a hole in town power and thats with the assumption that one of the vt is actualy a vig.

[bob3141]

386 and Kims next 5 posts show a serous push against civil
