Micro 395: Role Roll Mafia (Game Over)

[Edosurist]

That post from Maruchan didn't really sit well with me either, but I wasn't going to say anything at the time. I just noted it and went along.

Why weren't you going to say anything?

[Edosurist]

Also, fuzzy, you missed my request for an explanation of your Bins/Lissa scumread.

Hi Lissa.

[farside22]

Hi all.

Here are some quick reads.

Town- farside, yoloswag (that name though...)
Maybe town- fuzzy, wgeurts, edosurist
Null- voodoo slot
Scum- bulge, maru

Maru - the third vote on bins/my slot to tie up the votes in rvs struck me as kinda weird, rvs joke or not. "force a townread" thing was as a couple of others have stated weird. Weird as in worrisome.
bulge - the "counterwagon" thing in rvs set off some minor bells, might be reading too much into it.
Wgeurts seems newbtown

VOTE: maru

Tell me the difference between newb town and newb scum?
Frankly everything he's done reads as newb null.

I read a lot of what he did as newb null. There were just a couple of little things that seemed more newbtownish. Thus him being "maybe town." Looking at his ISO, I think it was 60/65/67. 67 is something I'd cringe at from someone with more experience, but coming from a newb it almost feels oddly townish. And the whole little exchange seems like the kind of thing an unsure newbtown would try.
My read on him would probably be best described as "slightly leaning town."

[Lissa]

Ugh.
Rereading the posts I just mentioned... They're actually starting to feel kinda fake. More 65 and 67 than 60.
I don't know.

[Maruchan]

Thanks. I missed farside's question and his subsequent response. +1 for Bins.

Post 94 was a weak attempt on your part at progressing the game. The only reason you said it was because farside asked you to.

But I don't see how you're taking the scum stance on these two slots (and ofc me) so early on?

I don't see how by NOT taking a stance you're doing anything productive. By "early scum reads," I mean first impressions. They're not as solidified as you might think.

It was a gut read, but I can try to justify it now. Maruchan hasn't posted much original content, ignoring post 90, which doesn't really count as content. What has been original, namely 99 doesn't make too much sense to me. Which brings up a good point...

@Maruchan
How is he directing your vote or trying to force you/people to townread him?

Side note:
I wouldn't generally call farside play pro-town, like 85. I don't see how it helps get a read on Maruchan, but I've seen farside do stuff like that as town, so I see it as more null coming from her.

I didn't say people. I said me. Hes targeting me specifically.

[Maruchan]

Goddamnit Bins. You're scum aren't you.

What prompted this?

Actually, no. Just tell me in the mason thread.

VOTE: Edosurist

Will do.

Farside seems new to me. thats not to say he is or isn't scum, but he's definitely new. It'll take a bit for me to be able to read him.

I'm not surprised by maru's play at all. He's prob scum, but I'll deal with that later. He'll fuck up eventually.

these two are scum.

me and qguert are the neighborhood. My vote on him was based on private topic interactions.

[Maruchan]

Weird...but okay.

It'll be interesting to see what comes out of those slots once replaced.

Anywho, thoughts for today, gentlemen?

Well if I was a betting person the force replace is nothing to do with this game. I see nothing in this game that would indicate an issue.

I think wgeurt is newb I get a list vibe.

Did not care for this with.

yakno, I don't like wgeurt either. He's trying to direct my vote, and force a towny read on him. hmmmmmm

VOTE: wgeurt

How does one force a town read?
I imagine an old person with a cane going you young whiper snapper trying to trick me.

He said we needed to be more active in neighborhood to instigate earlier townreads on each other. it sounded fishy.

[yoloswag123]

what about the posts feels fake then?

[Maruchan]

he's trying to force content and force towny reads. that should come naturally

[fuzzybutternut]

That post from Maruchan didn't really sit well with me either, but I wasn't going to say anything at the time. I just noted it and went along.

Why weren't you going to say anything?

Because stating how you feel every time you have a thought isn't exactly a good thing.

I'll answer your question publically when I feel like answering it.

[fuzzybutternut]

Lissa is town. I'm almost sure of it.

[yoloswag123]

err that was directed at lissa but okay.

[yoloswag123]

Wait maru I think you're voting edo and think fuzzybutternut is scum due to them apparently being neighbors? I don't see how that makes them instantly scum because of the setup?

[Lissa]

what about the posts feels fake then?

The tone feels awkward and, what's the word, kinda forced?
I just can't tell if it's newb awkwardness or scum awkward fakeness.

All neighbors share a neighborhood. If two pairs of people claim to be neighbors separately, one is lying, if I understand this setup correctly.

I thought Edo and fuzzy were joking about being neighbors though.

[Maruchan]

Wait maru I think you're voting edo and think fuzzybutternut is scum due to them apparently being neighbors? I don't see how that makes them instantly scum because of the setup?

Because I claimed neighbor with my neighbor partner, and the setup explicitly states all neighbors will share a neighborhood.

[yoloswag123]

okay I can see where you're coming from but the problem I have with the whole idea of fuzzy and edo being scum for being "neighbours" is the whole fact that unless scum are suicidal why claim neighbour for no reason? I think lissa is right and it was a joke that we just don't get.

[fuzzybutternut]

I thought Edo and fuzzy were joking about being neighbors though.

I like her. Can we keep her?

[Maruchan]

I still like my vote. (Y)

[farside22]

Because I claimed neighbor with my neighbor partner, and the setup explicitly states all neighbors will share a neighborhood.

I had assumed people pick a number and everyone with that number gets that role.
The rules stated everyone with 5,5, 6 are neighbors. I had assumed 2 people who picked 5 and 1 picked 6. I also had that paranoid wifom that one person was scum and one person was town but that was a brief moment till I realized small set up of 9 player, typical 2 scum.

I'm assuming by the convo there are 2 people in the neighborhood, not 3?

[farside22]

Note to self: read rule closely before replaying out loud thought. :headsmack:

Not how the rolls work.

There were three dice rolled for neighbor (the third only counts in case of the first two being the same, which they were.) All people who picked 5 or 6 are neighbors.

I'm guessing you figured this out just now, but here's the explanation just in case.

[Edosurist]

@Maruchan
How is he directing your vote or trying to force

you

/people to townread him?

I didn't say people. I said me. Hes targeting me specifically.

I actually did say you. What you had said was vague so I wasn't sure what you meant. You still didn't answer my question, though. How is he targeting

you

specifically.

Also,
I'm not actually claiming mason. Or neighbor. It was a joke, because I was mason partners in our previous game together.

I thought that was clear since nobody had pointed it out earlier when I first made the joke on page 1.

[Edosurist]

Oh, I gotcha. You did answer my question.
