The Third Fortnight (Game Over [Bonus Round])

[Gorkington]

have a hard time believing you faking some of the stuff in your hiplop push.

[Nosferatu]

@Gork I thought it was to gauge "how useful pressure wagons are going to be early on in this setup"

not really sure what this means?

you said you wanted to test "how useful pressure wagons are going to be early on in this setup" but I don't recall you ever giving the results of that test.

[Nosferatu]

aka gimme da results from it and why you needed a not-kill list and not a kill list.

[Gorkington]

He was doing the "name three people" thing because he thought pressure wagons weren't that useful. It's time to move on and give a read on someone that's not Gorkington.

i figured you could read cog's post.

[Gorkington]

read my post explaining literally exactly what i was doing again.
if you cant figure it out.
read it a third time.

[Gorkington]

like theres literally no testing going on.
i said i had my doubts as to whether wagons were viable in a setup where we generally dont want to lynch until close to deadline.

the "name 3 people" no kill list was in response to that feeling.

i really feel like this shouldnt be hard to figure out.

[KuroiXHF]

Can I ask why I've managed to stay at the top when I have basically lurked the last 200-ish posts, beyond one post about Snarky's activity?

Lurking is often a scum tell?

And Johnny, I thought my posts grossed you out. Why would you want me to post more?

[Nosferatu]

Fine
UNVOTE: gork

[Nosferatu]

ftr I still don't town read you but I recognize that I have no reason to keep a vote on you with my main argument rendered moot.

[Gorkington]

womp womp.

[Gorkington]

nos unvoting me in spite of still thinking im scum without voting someone new is showy af.

i know where my attention is going if hiplop isodive changes my mind.

Yes.

That is literally the point I was making.

That I was at the top of his

town

list

10/10 well paid attention

Catching up now, it's hella late though so don't expect a big wallpost. I may do one anyway though. I can never tell until it's too late.

I'm null reading you. I don't have enough to scum read you.

[Gorkington]

i have my doubts about whether thats a genuine thought process.
but we'll see.

[KuroiXHF]

Davsto - I feel kind of silly. lol

[Davsto]

Apparently I made a bit of a post wall

BRACE YOURSELVES

[Davsto]

I feel like scum is lurking. I'm getting him to be quiet.

I am reading the game. I've said this discussion is totally unnecessary.

Awesome, so because I stayed silent for like... 7 pages, hiplop should have contributed considerably and have strong, well-made reads and stuff and look town.

Right?

I'm not really getting my hopes up.

I'm pretty blatantly town, cheet.

This is a hilariously bold statement from a player that has almost half the playerlist scumreading him at this time. Seriously hip, there's confidence, and then there's arrogance.

I'm a good scumhunter when left alone. Not so good when backed into a corner. Always been true. I can nail scumteams if I'm given space, otherwise I'm incredibly spotty.

I am not doing anything survivalistic. I'm very much succumbing to my own destiny. I'm terrible at getting out of ruts. See: the last fortnight for example.

Okay he seems confident with this, so I am gonna be

pissed

if he doesn't actually show it, because all of this saying about "how good i am when not pressured" is something I'm just gonna ignore if I don't see it in action.

Can I pretend my lurking was strategic to see if he'd actually deliver on this? It wasn't, but it'd be cool to pretend.

why would I act like this and garner unnecessary attention

it makes no fucking sense as scum cheet

Like you said

Clutters up thread, makes it easier for scum to hide.

If you're able to behave like this and then slip out of being lynched later in the day - which I believe scum!you is likely capable of doing - you've created a huge cloud of mud for scumpartners to hide behind.

Town you wouldn't push this angle, sorry.

Right, so far the "scumhunting" he's done has added up to a crappy meta case on Antihero

Disappointed, but unsurprised.

Like can you sort that shit out pls if you're town

Terrible when backed into a wall

But that's the thing - I'd pulled out of the discussion several pages before this, and I was the only player pushing you aggressively enough to be "backing you against a wall" - gork and anti had their suspicions but they let you articulate your point fairly freely while disagreeing with it.

asking for top three people you wouldn't kill seems like such a scum thing to do. Town would ask for a kill list.

Isn't asking for townreads like, an incredibly common method to both scumhunt (because scum generally find it easier to form scumreads than townreads) and also to avoid backtracking and generally is just quite useful and seriously why is asking for townreads not town-motivated wtf

seem... gorkward to you?

You stealing my thing? Because puns are my thing.

Motherfucker I hadn't posted anything serious in arguably 10 pages, how am I one of your 3?

As I said, the two already there were the two I townread, everyone else that wasn't scum or entirely null was just sortof in a primordial goo of equally nulltown, so I just picked a name that felt right.

JohnnyFarrar's catch-up post feels somewhat fake in that there was nothing really objectionable in it, at least to me - reading him in detail next.

Can confirm - johnny is the man. Townread.

I- uh- fuckit should I even comment on this? This is self-explanatory. I wanna say it's stupid but this is a dude who claimed treestump with a vote when he was VT-whom-treestumps-on-death so idk how his brain works

Unless there's some reason why a not kill lists is objectively more useful than a not kill list, I will stand by the point I've made.

Davsto would have to be pretty ballsy to do what he did, more ballsy than I believe he really is.

I... don't even know what this means.

Dad blowing up looks fine. He did that and died in a game I replaced into recently.

i am your father

But seriously can you explain because I'm confused by this... Also which game?

[Nosferatu]

is there any important 1v1s I should start at or should I just start around where bulge almost reaches L-1.

[hiplop]

Clutters up thread, makes it easier for scum to hide.

this makes no fucking sense.

sorry dav.

Don't talk down to me, also.

[zMuffinMan]

cupcake, there is a thin red line that separates us from gork's town reads... does... does this mean we go to war?

[Gorkington]

dont you touch my red line.
youll be in big trouble.

[Gorkington]

i dont think its unfair for me to say youre pretty scary.
self-aware players are the hardest to townbin.
and youve basically been oozing self-awareness everywhere.

[Marquis]

why am I not townbin? has that much changed since my earlygame obvtowniness

[Gorkington]

is that a joke?

[zMuffinMan]

i can't really help being self-aware though so i don't really expect that to change though

do you think any of the things you're town reading people for are hard to do as scum? do you think it's difficult to seem like you're hunting scum in this setup?
