BIOCHEMISTRY - game over, finally, it's only been 5 months

[Titus]

At least.

[Titus]

No, but I am a replacement in a game with Firebringer AND MagnaofIllusion, both players who tend to take issue with me and would rather not have had me replace in--so it's treading on eggshells for me to try to be on my best behavior and yet still function as a player.

There's a grand total of seven players who so much as could be scum--MoI/Creature/Marquis/Rick/Majiffy/VoT/Yoshi; everyone else is town.
This, not even going into whether the players actually are scum. (For instance, you I heavily lean against.)

Look – more mastin bullshit. Oh I’m worried about how Rick and Andrea / MoI will react to me so I’m being careful. Meanwhile both these players are in the pool of fucking 7 players who could only be scum. Yes that’s right … mastin has a pool that is 4/7 scum and is worried about offending two of the players in that fucking pool.

It is specifically

because

you are in the pool that I need to tread carefully, MoI.

If I was townreading you, there would be no issue. If you townread me and I townread you we could effectively leave it at that and ignore each other entirely. It's day one, so it's not like we'd be likely to ever need to work together, so no repeat of Steven Universe 2. No treading on eggshells, no special measures needed, because nothing I say matters/would be relevant to you, and likely vice-versa too.

...But because I'm

not

townreading you (though you apparently are townreading me), there IS the issue. Because I'm not townreading you, there's treading on eggshells because there's the whole awkwardness of the situation. It's unpleasant, but also my fault, and something that therefore warrants caution.

And why are you repeating it with me at best knowing my record in SU 2?

[mastina]

[quote="In post 2328, MagnaofIllusion"Your opinion - was my scum read and push that lynched him Day 2 unwarranted in your opinion?[/quote] My answer is of course yes given your push on my strongest fucking townread was one of the reasons I scumread you that game, so.

[Majiffy]

MASTINA



YOU HAVE AVOIDED ANY MEANINGFUL DIRECT INTERACTION WITH ME SINCE YOU REPLACED IN

STOP THAT

[Majiffy]

Now that I have your attention

Read this then vote Creature. TIA

[TheRealGin-N-Tonic]

MASTINA



YOU HAVE AVOIDED ANY MEANINGFUL DIRECT INTERACTION WITH ME SINCE YOU REPLACED IN

STOP THAT

She scum reads you dude

[Titus]

Mastina catches up in order. She's 300 posts behind. I mislynched her for it once.

[TheRealGin-N-Tonic]

I love the poorly educated

I'm a college student so like, I should be love at first sight >_>

Spoiler:

Counting the ones I played somewhat relevantly:

Micro 597: Went super aggressive but didn't try to look like I was solving anything
Mini 1787: Showed obvious scum motivation
Newbie 1703: Lurked, been called lurker lot of times
Open 643: Lurked and eventually flaked out
Micro 619: Lurked and coasted
Wake's Role Madness: Lurked and coasted
The Walking Dead: Lurked a lot, my other hydra head had to do the most
Micro 647: Was actually towny there, but still lurked a bit

Likely all very different from my townplay

With that, and posts like 185 and 210; plus Jiffy's case, I've got creature as scum lean.

Only on like page 12 but I'm okay with this so far

VOTE: Creature

Hey Rick, I voted Creature, you think I'm scum. Tell me your thoughts on the vote.

[Majiffy]

She's not 300 posts behind she stopped on like page 18

She's doing this two-fer thing where she reads from the beginning and then from fuck knows where in the 2200s for whatever fucking reason

It's aggravating as all get-out.

[TheRealGin-N-Tonic]

mastina, why do you scum read Jiffy?

Hey I missed you. I need happies. Reads?

Reads list


Town Strong: mastina, marquis, Majiffy
Town Lean: Vecna
Null: Any player not mentioned
Scum Lean: R&R, Creature
Scumz:

[mastina]

R&A hydra feels "uncomfortable" as Gork put it. The early "let's pressure gork!" thing felt forced, for lack of a better term. Townreading Gork a bit because they picked up on it as well.
Spiffeh leans town. BigYoshiFan is probably my biggest townread. Creature and Vecna feel sooooooorta off to me in their entrances, especially the former. Mixed vibes on Ser in particular.

[TheRealGin-N-Tonic]

feel free to ask me about any of those because I got my notepad tagged of posts by each player and how they got to the list.

[mastina]

Like where is this suddenly coming from

Not from me considering I specifically asked to not be sheeped.
(Though honestly in regards to Yoshi I probably wouldn't mind so much.)

[Majiffy]

I wish I could throw things at her.

[mastina]

mastina - 1 (TheRealGin-N-Tonic)
Rem and Ram - 1 (Gorkington)
Sakura Hana - 1 (Spiffeh)
Ser Arthur Dayne - 1 (MagnaofIllusion)
Vifam - 1 (Titus)
Not Voting: Nahdia
Ankamius - 2 (Ser Arthur Dayne, Creature)
BigYoshiFan - 2 (mastina, Ankamius)
MagnaofIllusion - 2 (Vecna, Vifam)
TheRealGin-N-Tonic - 2 (Sakura Hana, Rick and Andrea)
Creature - 3 (Rem and Ram, Majiffy, BigYoshiFan)

I maintain my stance from before: there's no wagons right now because scum are not being pushed. There's a severe lack of town cohesion--and that's the hallmark of the scum just sitting back and laughing their asses of as town after town gets pressured yet nothing forms on any scum because town are too busy screaming at each other.

In the 2 voters, Creature/Rick are the only ones I have any interest in calling scum. In the 1 voters, MoI/Titus/Nahdia all hold interest as scum candidates. I still maintain that Yoshi is scum, though to be honest if Yoshi is scum that probably means Majiffy's town. (Though not necessarily. Just probably.)

Basically while Creature's possible scum I am not optimistic there.

[TheRealGin-N-Tonic]

It never ceases to amaze me how frustrated people get working with mastina

[mastina]

ok 35 pages in im bored of reading
VOTE: Rem and Ram

I mean I get being tired of reading--I'm having that big time, struggling to get through.
I get the "staring at the screen mind blank feeling", that I have.
But this?

[Majiffy]

It's ok you're new to her

The glow hasn't worn off yet

[mastina]

[quote="In post 2433, Spiffeh"I wish someone in the game that I trust had strong opinions for me to sheep but that doesn't seem to be the case.[/quote] Well I'm someone you sort-of trust and I hold opinions which are getting there in strength so you could potentially sheep me, since my two strongest scumreads are in your null pile.

[mastina]

Must be a powerful scum PR
Busdriver? JOAT? Enabler? Strongman?

Having played in this game's two predecessors: the scum have a scum inventor with a power which is not a scumclaim yet which benefits the scumteam. Said scum inventor is

probably

their only role, though it's possible (albeit improbable) that Anti gave them a second WEAK role if the town has a number of PRs beyond the inventors. (And ONLY if the town has a number of PRs beyond the inventors.)

The town's main strength will come from inventors. Specifically, we're looking at probably 3 (maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe 4) town inventors, plus the scum inventor. What said inventors are, well, that changes game to game. In fact I don't think that there were any repeat inventions between Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry, though I'd have to check to be sure.

[mastina]

Majiffy, are we going to get in a VCA discussion this game? It's almost worth lurking to do that.

Probably. We can grab Mastina too if she gets her shit together.

You know what would help me get my shit together?

Not having to read ten new pages every fucking time I come to this thread, so that I have the time to actually read the fucking thread.

But yes, talking VCA would be fine, though honestly I'm releasing a guide really really soon on the subject anyway, so.
