Open 913 - This Game Started as an April Fools' Joke - Day 4

[Elements]

wow, cool catchup, Ranger!!! i feel so enlightened now!

You seem to know Ranger quite well
Did any if that mean anything?

[Cat Scratch Fever]

okay I kind of want to retract the scumread because this gimmick is pretty funny lol

It is?
I'm just finding it confusing

She's just parody-ing how Ranger does her catch ups. I don't think the actual ordering is serious unless you believe Titus went from top town to top scum without posting at all

I don't think I've played with Ranger before so thats the key information I was missing

[awesomeming327]

i have: truly no idea how to contribute to this game rn. this is way more disorientating than i expected.

who's the best Power Ranger?

i like onisister from donbrothers if anyone's wondering

Wanna talk about how it is fisoreienting

[awesomeming327]

{Black Ranger}
{experience, OopsieDaisy, Cat Scratch Fever}
{Moros, Elements}
{light_ganski}
{Cee Mirage, halfasleep, imaginality}
{Black, awesomeming327}
{Titus}

P7.

What even is this

[Black]

I'm curious to see how Ranger's reads will compare to Cee's impersonation of her reads

[Cee Mirage]

i hope they make more sense

or actually maybe i hope they make less sense

[imaginality]

experience black awesomeming halfasleep towns.

I'm kind of perturbed that you implied you didn't have many reads in 112, but developed these reads after 3/4 people on this list just said they were leaning town on you

Why is halfasleep town?

Spoiler:

No no no! Not a good idea.

If I'm a vig, I'm shooting Moros
Goodnight

good idea.

this feels like towny reaction

Moros is giving me gut town pings as well. I think I could be slightly biased due to him agreeing with me about not having reads though

Been mostly awol this weekend but catching up now and I like this post, because this seems like a reason for suspecting someone which holds up in this format of game.

you're right. i didn't notice that, but i could have been biased. i didn't find reads at first and so i reread from the start and tried harder to find them. halfasleep felt lost in a town way to me.

[experience]

catching up now

good idea.

Why?

feels pretty relaxed for scum
but now that i think about it, scum might go for a relaxed style too to seem town

[experience]

tbh csf's 162 is good post tonally

huh, i had to read her post a few times here to figure out what the point was but i think i got it now

she's saying it's suspicious for Moros to go from no reads to multiple townreads 12 hours later, after most of the people Moros townreads had said they townread Moros

this feels a little on the nose to be a scum tactic to me though

like do scum really just go "ok 3 people townread me so i'm gonna go townread them all back"

[Cee Mirage]

i've been having back and forth thoughts about CSF's alignment but at the moment i'm feeling a scenario where Moros is town and experience or imaginality is scum using this argument of hers to shade Moros

which would make CSF very unlikely to be scum with either of them if Moros is indeed town

and the two of them probably not scum together either

I think it can definitely be the case that scum 'reward' players for reading them correctly. Source: I've noticed myself doing that as scum on multiple occasions.

Maybe there's a term for this behaviour - I don't think it's the same as buddying which I see as more a conscious tactic whereas this is more likely a subconscious reaction, the mirror version of OMGUS (which itself is also more often a subconsciously motivated behaviour than a deliberate tactic).

If there isn't already a term for it I propose OMGYS: Oh My God You Slay.

I think town are generally slightly more cautious about it since they know scum might be townreading them to buddy them. So Moros omgysing three other players with no apparent suspicions or distinction drawn between them seems like it could plausibly be more likely to come from scum than from town.

Consider my imaginary vote placed on Moros at the moment.

[OopsieDaisy]

OMGYS definitely exists amazing term

Hi. I have no clue what I am doing.

Hi queen, same

[OopsieDaisy]

i like csf and mirage they're townie to me rn

i think scum would wanna hide in the club of people struggling to do stuff and like, masquerade as one. not to take away from anyone in this pool who is struggling but scum know the game not moving means town get nowhere closer to figuring em out. it also could just be someone is scum *and* is struggling to do stuff that's also a possibility.
