Eminence in Shadow: Season 1 [Game Over]

[Big Chungus Gaming]

like what is the separating factor here that makes them only plausible as town here?

[Gamma Emerald]

Can you link that most recent cephrir scumgame you spoke of, BCG?

oh its not recent, its just the most recent I have played in. scp upic, where i got your slot miskilled before turning on cephrir and then being pocketed by dwlee and killing t3 lol

we need enchant to sub into this game now to make this a soft reboot of that game now lmao

[Gamma Emerald]

I had a feeling it was that one

[Firebringer]

On one fateful day. His sister had been kidnapped by the cult. Cid discussing the kidnapping with his followers announced that his sister was being held in a location he randomly threw a knife at. Shockingly he was right.

I'm too town for elim and I don't even have to try hard to do it

I have to vote this bullshit
VOTE: alisae

this is a wolfclaim from cakez btw.
I know him enough to know this

Wait what?

no way he believes im mafia

I could be off here but I don't actually see where he called you mafia

[Cephrir]

cephrir alignment kinda important to really crack this game open imo, last time i played vs scum him it did take me many game days to bury him and only thru sheer luck of a replacement who self cleared for me and several blunders around his slot - I find it high priority to have any investigatives used on that slot.

It'd be a waste at this point I'm pretty sure he's town

if thats the case, what would make them scum here? because i went back to the game where they were caught only in late game, and his posts in THAT game were better than here - and that I attribute to having mechs to hide behind.

I actually can kind of see where you get a scumread of me from if that game is your primary meta lmao

I'm kind of hard to pin down with meta. At one point notoriously so. I will say that at baseline I make "better" posts as scum because I care about appearing to make sense, but I'm very aware of that baseline so idk if it's even useful anymore

[Cephrir]

STD won't give away whatever magic keys he has to reading me, I don't have a clue how he does it but I have to admit his accuracy has been remarkable thus far

[Save The Dragons]

Ceph is good at efforting and trying hard as scum

He feels more relaxed here and open with his thoughts

He also gets annoyed or tilted easily on here (Sorry babe) and he has had personal frustration leak into the game to a point where he was sassing gamma and later apologized for it. I don't think scum cephrir does that. But town cephrir can be more biting because he's not worried about drawing negative attention to himself.

My natural inclination is to scumread cephrir. The fact I can townread him so easily makes me just think he's really town here

[Cephrir]

Ugh now I'm nostalgic for the days when people were actually scared of me

[T3]

pooky

Why do you townread pooky?

because he has towny tone for him, and he responded more smugly to him getting pushed and not all grr angy and tilted

You don't think that scum Pooky can respond smugly to being pushed?

if you think I'm wrong, disprove me instead of trying to subtly sow doubt into my read/discredit me for it

I can't disprove you unless I look at meta which I might do at some point

I don't remember Pooky's reactions when pushed in previous games but I find it highly unlikely that he always gets angry when pushed as scum

[T3]

Oh maybe you are right

This feels like a more accurate way of describing the general gut reason why I feel like Ceph is town so that feels good

Spoiler:

ok but I'm still going to call him mafia because it's more fun that way, I think you're right though but don't tell him!

[PenguinPower]

oh i forgot to include a vote rofl VOTE: penguinpower

You forgot because it was made up.

[WhemeStar]

Honestly I always get reads based on how ppl interact with my wagon when I get ran up day 1 and usually I’m always right so u guys are rly fckin this up

[jjh927]

Does anyone who scumreads Pooky want to discuss him with me specifically

Am I missing something or was the only person who took me up on this in any capacity whatsoever STD who doesn't even scumread Pooky

[jjh927]

Unrelated, I feel like kawaii's post quality is taking a dive and I'd like to know whether klick finds it significant or thinks this is in line w/ his stuff

Dunno how it's unrelated since we were just talking about them earlier, but I agree.

@Klick

thoughts?

Acknowledging that I've seen this and have thoughts, but am not in a place to sit and go into detail atm. Tl;dr is that I'm processing this but I lean towards still just being correct on Kawaii!town.

@jjh: I want to see if you can pick and share with me two of your reads that I will find *interesting*.

What would you find interesting? Something you disagree with, something uncommon to the thread as a whole, or something well developed? In terms of scumreads rn I have a list of people I would like to talk to, but no fully developed scumreads in that respect, so you'd probably have to be entertained by a townread at this time

thoughts?

Right, so I think more perspective on my Kawaii read is due

In the dead thread for the Volcano game, Kawaii wrote this to me:

Klick you read me like a book, you were pivotal in my flip
Your distinction between my Monkey Business play vs. this game play was next level

This made it evident that my analysis of Kawaii between my town and scum experience with them was accurate, at least in Kawaii's eyes. He also posted saying that he thought he was 'insanely bad' at playing as scum.

This game started the day after Kawaii got eliminated in Volcano - that post I quoted above in the dead thread was posted the day AFTER this game started. So, assuming Kawaii drew Mafia here, I'm assuming that Kawaii would have what happened in Volcano fresh on their mind and would be looking to improve. I would also expect a low level of confidence, considering Kawaii thinks they're bad at scum.

Reading the start of this game, instead of seeing that, I feel like Kawaii's entrance is very natural. I feel like Kawaii started this game in their comfort zone, in contrast from last game. I don't see overcorrection of what Kawaii thinks is poor scum play. I think this is in line with how town!Kawaii would feel after not feeling great about last game.


And none of that context really changes with their drop-off. Kawaii currently feels a bit disconnected from the game, but I'm not feeling that that disconnection is AI necessarily. 1322 feels flexible with their thinking in a way that just looks a lot different to last time. I feel like Kawaii is kinda just doing their thing and it looks legitimate to me. 'Post quality' doesn't have much to do with their alignment here IMO.

This got jumbled a bit because I rushed it out before my lunch break ends in a minute. But it gets the point across I think

I went into detail on my (limited) thoughts on Pooky in previous posts, there's not a lot to say outside of that

Surprise me! There are no wrong answers. I'm an easy person to gift for - as long as you put thought into it.

So basically Pooky is evil

[Luka]
