Noted, thanks, but not where the problems lie.
I am interested in your answer.

Things of note:

Ydra's entrance vibed town for me.

I am liking Oblivion's questions at Firebagel, and am not liking firebagel's responses. But I think that I am liking Oblivions questions more then I am disliking bagel's responses.


I am also surprised by the fireisredsir fluff, and also surprised at the number of reads he churned out in in response to being called out for fluff.

Hi Luke, are you enjoying this game so far?

How spooked and demoralized are you that I've already identified your entire scum team?

I am not enjoying it, because reading the thread feels like pulling teeth right now. I am really prone to clicking on links in quotes, and it physically hurt me so much that I halfway abandoned it.
How spooked and demoralized are you that I've already identified your entire scum team?
But this I appreciated. Took all the guess work out of who to kill night 1. Not like anyone takes peoples day 1 reads seriously after they die anyways.

Oblivion, Dunn Town

After actually reading I am happy with my Sunflower vote

It is 3:55 AM before my first day back at work in a week and yet I would prefer to hang out with all of you than go back to sleep, someone say some words to me

To those who have expressed town reads on it, can it ask for a deeper look into the why behind those sentiments from each of you, for the purpose of its mental models?

For CSF, can you explain which of the questions it asked gave that reaction and why?

This entry feels a little contrived. What are your takes on slots outside Bagel?

I'd go for the Pooky Bucks, but for all I know, the imaginary points could be based on an arbitrarily based system that benefits the house.

Ok the site is too laggy for me to keep refreshing the thread so I will instead devote my time to casing someone on page 6!

*WE* have concerns, simultaneously and independently!


Fire seems to have taken the "Jupiter in a scum slot fluffyness" and made it a part of himself right now. And I don't like it one little itty bitty bit.

Grrrrrrr.
i was fluffier entering kemusan which you both saw so this is an interesting take

actiondan is interesting to me. feel safe leaning town for now i think although scum is possible

pooky a little towny

dunn a little towny although his willingness to elaborate so much on reads already was quite surprising to me. i don't think it's scummy though, just surprising

y'all i think feel eager to dig into things which is probably a good enough sign for now that id rather let you do that, although i think the point on me is one that feels misapplied

if i were to put a bet on a scum rn i think id guess STD. that's based on almost nothing however id still take the pookybucks

firebagel feels likely to be readable given time so not worried there rn

:blossom:
I don't like either of the above from Sunflower

The first deflects morph's (imo valid) point about their fluffiness by mentioning one game where they were fluffy early on as town. By mentioning this, it demonstrates that they are aware of their town meta and therefore should have no problem replicating it, so I'm not sure the purpose of even saying this other than to try to get morph off their back.

The second post feels like scum artificially inflating the word count to look like they have substantial thoughts, idk how to really articulate it but it feels insecure to me. The ActionDan read is basically "I think town but he could be scum" which is very non-committal, so what's the point of including it in the first place? The comments about morph and STD follow this same pattern, though less explicitly. It feels like they felt the need to pad their response to morph to make it look like they were thinking about the game critically and it resulted into a bunch of "reads" that don't actually tell me anything.

These, along with their not so stellar (but not quite irredeemable!) early posts makes me happy with my vote on them.

@Sunflower:
1. What makes morph and Dunn's takes about your fluffiness "interesting" and how does this inform your read on them?
2. Can you go into more detail on the ActionDan read?
