Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?-

It's not that I feel strongly about Hopkirk, We could be the town block sure but I agree that discussion of that doesn't really gain us anything.
So could you answer my question about why you didn't vote either of us if we were both suspicous?
Is this molla's usual style? It feels rather blunt and decisive. I did notice someone saying he usually makes short posts so idk.
I don't particularly like scrifton or WP. I do like serra though. I doubt this is the scumless group.-

Partially because the comment was an exasperated sarcastic comment and partially because I can't vote two people at once. While I didn't mean to be gone for two days, sitting back did reveal GM to be pretty dang town, so now I don't have to choose!-

In some ways, but the jumping around reads fake.

Obviously I was working from a bit of hyperbole, but still... you don't often see scum placing little things into their posts that are meant to slightly push the town to keep suspicion off of them?
You DO see them. That's my point. There is very little that a Scum can do that's going to be THAT subtle.
In post 93, serrapaladin wrote:In post 87, goodmorning wrote:I said that the scum motivation from asserting that you are part of the all-town group would be insurance for after a lynch. Say serrapaladin or myself flipped town. "Oh, well, that must mean that we're the all-town group. Hahaha, I was right. What a funny coincidence."
This is way worse than anything I posted, because this reasoning assumes that everyone in this game is a complete and utter idiot.
Does it really? I could easily see scum subtly pushing the notion that their group is all town, if not as obviously as scrip suggests.
Yes, but you'd have to be an idiot not to look at all options no matter what anyone else says.
ugh 110 is not even a good post
why do you people think he is town
Scrip wasn't really using his frustration in a way that might give him an advantage, so I quite like him for town. I don't really know what you mean by him "jumping around"?
I don't have a full-blown townread on zeb, but I have no doubt that town!zebulin could absolutely come up with an interpretation of BB's meta and apply it as in 110, be it correct or not. I somewhat liked that his early play felt somewhat loose. That being said. the only questions he's asked that are actually relevant to his actions and understanding of the game are why people are voting for him, which could well be the scummy flavour of self-preservation. There were some details in PN's posts that pinged more than anything by zeb though - mentioning how much time we have on the DL for one, and the unrequested list of whom to lynch, going very much along the path of least resistance. I don't buy that people can read that slot from the level of seriousness.
In post 69, Witness Protection wrote:I still need to ISO the other third of Wisdom, but from what I remember, he hasn't said much of anything. He did ask if Scripten was around once, then never followed up when he (Scripten )said he was.
Why are you not giving my play any thought? Like, I'm one of the two people you want to read today, and you dismiss my entire early play as "not much of anything" because I wasn't wallposting.
@BB: explain 109? It seems to me "sigh" is becoming the next "eyeroll" type reaction for scum to embrace.
Under most potential conditions, 111 makes me think lucky is town.
I'm not currently voting because accidental quickhammers actually seem quite easy to happen, and I don't think treating the votes as a 3 separate LyLo's is the best thing to do. I should probably commit a full post to this rather than tagging it onto the end here, though.Wandering but not lost-

I would propose we open the question of whom to lynch in each group to all of us, deciding by majority in each case if possible, runoff if not.
As is, we have the following issues with our voting system:
- members of the all-town group can't actually vote for scum today
- while randomly lynching in a 3p LyLo has a 1/3 town EV, in reality only takes 1 of the 2 town to vote wrongly for scum to win, giving a real EV somewhere closer to 1/4
- scum interactions will be much harder to gauge, since some people will not necessarily focus on all groups. leading on from that, mislynches in a group could easily be used D2 by out-of-group scum to push a mislynch of someone in the group.
I don't think us talking about all groups really compensates for the concrete opinions that should underpin voting.Wandering but not lost-

The chance of you being scum in my head is actually a lot lower, because there's a 40something% chance we're the townbloc (Pretty sure the townbloc isn't Wisdom) and BBMolla isn't confirmed town. The numbers aren't 100% accurate, they're mostly to show what I'm thinking in terms of how scummy everyone is.
This is a whole lot of non committal nonsense.
BBmolla asked me to explain my reasoning, so I explained my reasoning. My reasoning is terrible, but that's what you get on page 5. I didn't edit anything in that post to show my true train of thought, so if it seems rambling I apologize. I'm not 100% sure on anything because I CAN'T be 100% sure; there's always a chance I'm wrong.

I ran the numbers on this idea, and assuming random voting it has a much higher chance of getting scum lynched. I'm in favor of it.

Why don't you like wall posts?
Also, I think someone had a question directed at me. What was it?-

...so PN providing his reads pinged you? Or is it just that they were close to current sentiment?EFFORT IS NOT INDICATIVE OF ALIGNMENTLA during normal working and sleeping hours EST
Get to know a very pleasant AM.-

Before I forget: There are things I want to post if I get lynched before I die (which is probably going to happen), but saying them now helps scum way more than town. When it comes time to hammer all 3 groups, give me a chance to post before you do so. Thank you!
Hopkirk, you need to post way more. You seem to be postingjustenough to not get prodded.-

Hopkirk, you need to post way more. You seem to be postingjustenough to not get prodded.
there are no power roles in this game so I am thoroughly confused what info you could have from a town persepective that helps scum more than town. nonetheless, I don't think we intended to hammer without atleast last second reads from dying town.-

As in, it shouldn't be who between GM or Lucky2u is playing better or being more effective as either alignment for you, but rather who is more likely to be scum.

UNVOTE:
Reading Molla's ISO. There isn't much to decipher at the moment.
In post 110, Zebulin wrote:I'm scum reading Perpetual Nonsense mainlybecause I think BBMolla is townand that makes a 67% chance Perpetual Nonsense is scum.
In post 110, Zebulin wrote:Mostly it's because of my ISO read on BBMolla. Normally I'm suspicious of a guy who has so few words per post, but he posts very little in both his town and scum games. The difference I saw is that Town-BBMolla asks a lot of questions and is active scumhunting even on page 1, and Scum-BBMolla tends to say random fluff unrelated to the game and try to stay out of the limelight. BBMolla has been active scumhunting this game and hasn't made a single out-of-game post so far, so I feel he's town. The only thing I don't like from him was the "Zubullu" comment. That hurt.
These two posts aren't inclusive to me IMHO. BBMolla hasn't posted much. Period. Neither have I, granted. For Molla, it's certainly not alignment indicative. Just don't like this read because it's based on if Molla "is fluffing or not," considering the scarcity of his posts you noticed in past games AND this game. And the Zubullu comment was totally null and a typo obviously.
I can understand scumreading Us because Molla is townier just on the basis of being more active and engaged than Us, but your read on Us is a result of a "townread" on Molla. Anyways, We will get to thebottom of thisWe of the Collective are of one mind.

The problem for me is that I'mnotscumreading you or BBMolla, and it's very frustrating. Either we're the townbloc, which is unlikely and shouldn't be discussed at this point in the game, or one of you two is a master scumplayer, which is terrible for town in general and means I'll probably die D1 (I'm not exactly the towniest-looking player in any of my games, and I was being hammered until 5 minutes ago). I'm trying to get Courage to post more, since it seems only Wisdom is posting real walls at all, but when scum is in a townread and a leaning-townread and I'm widely being scumread I'm not sure what I can say to not die.
At this point I'd say Hopkirk, Witness and Perpetual are the scum, but Witness is my only real scumread. Hopkirk is leaning-scum and Perpetual is leaning-town, but not as town as BBMolla. ( I'm starting to suspect BBMolla simply because my main townreads my last 2 games have been scum in lylo. :/ )
P-Edit: Keep in mind these are page 5 reads. There's not going to be that much behind them compared to page 20+ reads.-

Even if nothing is catching your interest, you could ask some questions. It's probably a lock that it will be between you and me in our block, so how about we turn our attentions to the other blocks and input there.
