Hi I have experience with nahdia. As town she replaces after a bit and as scum she doesn't.
Hey now...
LUV, I can talk about me. I'm playing a lot more lax than I usually do because I'm back from a few month hiatus from mafia and I've got other stuff on my plate and also I just don't want to get quite as invested as I used to because this game seriously stressed me out at times.
Since you wanted to talk about me, what's your thoughts?
Slight townreads on osuka and Oggs rn, btw. Now watch them be the team.
Ah. Seems reasonable.
I had inquired because I thought you would be attempting to engage people way more than you have been based on the times we've talked in site chat.
In post 1, Alisae wrote:The Game is Nightless. If there are 3 nights where a No Lynch is achieved, the bar will close and everyone will lose.
also this tips me to it being multiball. just the wording
You know you can fake towntell all you'd like but you're not going to fool anyone with it.
Btw I wanted to hold onto this some more until more people would engage it but since nobody is and I can't think of anything else to post right now I might as well elaborate.
This post seems fine on the surface, right? It's a reasonable point to make. Except...
The game is mod-confirmed to be singleball, 2:7 at that. Therein enters the argument, "oh, but it must be a townslip then!". Seems fine, right? It seems like gerry responding to that particular game rule quirk and saying multiball when it's mod-confirmed singleball would be a townslip, right?
You'd think so, but let's go check out the post in question because therein enters a problem.
The Game is Nightless. If there are 3 nights where a No Lynch is achieved, the bar will close and everyone will lose. (hey that ryhmes)

There is 2 groupscum and 7 townies.
Look at how close these two are together. (Don't believe me? Go to the post in question and check it out for yourself!) gerry suggested multiball by quoting the first, when the second is literally right below it. It's fake. gerry is scum, who was trying to fake a towntell. But there's no way he could have actually made that mistake.
But it wouldn't be a townslip, because him saying that as either alignment when it's mod-confirmed otherwise would mean he didn't know it was
confirmed
singleball, and
not
that he didn't know it was singleball; since the mistake is possible to make as scum, why pretend to make it?
Better question.
Why pretend to make it with the experience level in the room?

gerry can be null for now. not sure how to read this slot because there's a lot of noise around it and i haven't given it enough attention
impoetic seems to have been tunneling gerry but given that i have zero experience with her, i don't really know what that means alignment-wise, if anything
lil uzi looks like he's riding the wave, but I could be mistaken here. I'll look better into his iso because something about this slot raises flags but I can't quite put a finger on what it is
I'd have parked my vote on Gerry if I was wave riding no?

I have an idea but you would have to trust me here going into the Night. Or the Day in this case..
Who do you suspect is his partner? I'll be willing to help lynch there as I don't have a single town read and I'm not opposed to any lynch. I just like something solid because basically what you're telling me here is that Gerry is incapable of adjusting how he plays as scum to a player list that contains people who have a good amount of experience with him and can read him well.

I'm not scum here, just not motivated because you're struggling to meet town half-way. Let's work to solve the rest of the game if you really believe this is scum Gerry.

Yeah, and?
Is this really so surprising to you?
People like gerryoat are not as good at being scum as most people give them credit for.
The spampost/shitpost scumplay style relies on being overly active to give the illusion of something where there is nothing, but it has a huge drawback: it's something which if you take as your style, is very very very hard to adjust on the fly when an effective counter is found. Against people who don't know how to counter the spampost/shitpost scumplay, it can be effective in that they mistakenly assume posting = effort = town, when no part of that chain is actually true. (Posting != effort; Effort != town; Posting != town.) But when the spampost/shitpost scumplay encounters a person who knows better than to make that idiotic assumption...it doesn't work out. They have no counter because they skipped basic training, as it were. Adaptability IS a core skill for a scum player to have...but most spampost/shitpost scum players
don't actually have it
, and gerryoat is among them.
Honestly? Hard to say. Mainly because I don't know him personally. I've also been failing to recollect how he plays as both alignments. I know I've played with him as scum before though which is why I'm freaking out as we speak. Hell, we were even partners in one of those games and I can't for the life of me tell you why I'm not seeing the same things you're seeing here.
I guess my belief that every player is entitled respect might be clouding my judgement here. I'm just more confident looking elsewhere because if he's really caught scum, it's game over from my point of view.

first is gently a scumtell yea
2nd is a scumtell but can you back it up that he doesn't believe in them? (I'm guessing you're getting that from the unvote on impo?)
OMGUS is something town gerry does as well and does in spades
shitposting is something town gerry does rather than give content too at times
spamposting eh sure?
nothing tangible for content is usually town gerry
Like I love you but you almost made me want to unvote there.
What I find more pertinent is LUV not pushing the fake townslip when he deathtunneled me in civ for pre much the same.
Think I have LUV as more likely scum over gerry because that could be defending a townie or it could be defending a scumbud but i do think it's a scum luv.
Like I'm willing to help you lynch gerry if you really need that first but my preference is LUV rn.
Yeah I did deathtunnel you for that in Civ. And guess what? It got me nowhere. Why would I make the same mistake here with Gerry?

I did because I recall the fake townslip in Civ being a lot worse and only coming from scum. I'm just saying it didn't get you lynched.
Thinking someone got quick lynched due to being unaware that the flavour means Days are referred to as Nights seems reasonable and him pointing out that it could be multi-ball is more damaging for scum in my opinion.
I'm not saying he isn't scum but I'm not sold Gerry would fake so much town slips with a quarter of the player list being able to read him.
I've been holding the read close to my chest but handguns to my head, I'd say Aristophanes/XnadrojX. Aristophanes I thought was playing to his scum meta: I didn't see the "bundleload of joy", in spite of him getting a role with flavor that he should have been ecstatic about. He lurked, and he gave nothing. What he
did
give was consistent defense of gerryoat the entire time, asking what that wagon was about and so on and so forth.
There are doubts there of course! Aristophanes did decide to have a specific quirk with his posting. He did decide to replace out so it's possible a town-him simply wasn't feeling it. He could have replaced out before he got into the game, and there are other notable slots (namely Nahdia) who have resisted joining the gerryoat wagon. But that's one reason why I've wanted the lynch on gerryoat because I have a role which could clear Aristophanes if we lynched gerry right now.
In post 518, Lil Uzi Vert wrote:I don't see a reason for Gerry as scum to check me to be honest.
Okay, pop question for you.
Say Alisae gives scum a Sane Cop.
Do the scum not use the Sane Cop?
When it is a MOD-GIVEN ROLE to them?
...
...Exactly. Scum use the role because it was a mod-provided role. It would be a role the mod gave them to use, and thus something they felt safe and secure in using. Targeting you, regardless of your alignment, works as good towncred. You're his scumbuddy, he is seen as instantly town for the rest of the game, drawing protections and thus being justified in not having died. You're town, he is still seen as instantly town for the investigation result, with the added benefit of having a scumbuddy so endgame can come earlier and with less risk. Regardless of your alignment, why the fuck
wouldn't
a scum-gerryoat with a cop role use it?
It was unnecessary in this case.
Half of the game was either null or not scum reading Gerry and there was signs of hydra dissanonce. Eddie has been on record saying he scum read osuka more than Gerry. There's a decent chance Gerry went into Night 2 thinking he wasn't getting lynched.

I wouldn't say he'd town for the investigation result because there's always a why and I'd probably still be skeptical on why he had claimed to check me.
It not being necessary does not equal it not being a viable action scum could use anyway. Scum have an action which looks town. Why the FUCK would they not use that action which looks town?
There's a decent chance Gerry went into Night 2 thinking he wasn't getting lynched.
Exactly why he would be sent to do the nightkill.
Why use it right away if they feel good about their position among town?

from my understanding.
so you want to post a decent amount, but post /content/ and not spamfuck the game bcuz I think one person posting too much in comparison to others might drain the battery? idunno the exact formula.
