You're last post actually makes me feel better but I didn't see it

Oh well what I said I have said

[Charu]

So sorry for your loss

[Charu]

Hey Zenith, m'dear, can you do me a favor?

[Charu]

Can you tinfoil hard on Pre again? But this time, try not too think TOO deep with it.

[Charu]

Just think of "simple" moves on how a SK could get here if his name was Precarious.

You said yourself we're in a potential MiLo situation (depending on how the nightkills would resolve). I think voting without giving any thought isn't a particularly good idea at this point.

You'll have to explain this one to me.

I'm still skeptical of Zodiac, but not the same extent to be honest. If anything, yesterday serves as a reminder that mistakes aren't always indicative of anti-town status. Re-reads will be up tomorrow.

[Charu]

Maybe later

[Charu]

You and MML can talk though. He seems to want to bang you.

[MixMasterLar]

Pre if you're gonna hand around why not post some more thoughts?

HEY XEL Besides you looking like scum, what do you think about the current state of affairs in the game? How do these flips affect your reads? Talk to me bro

His reads will be shit.

Like I kinda implied I really had psycho as the SK. I considered roundbox but having him cleared as town kinda leaves different options. I'm at the point where if someone actually can counter claim charu, you probably ought to.

But you arriving so quickly to the conclusion that this looks bad on you is pretty noteworthy I'd say. You and RB hadn't really gotten in to it in literally days and you're not the only one who suspected Pyscho so I don't know why you'd think that.

If we're being objective I actually did go through DBP / AND Kayla's post history and attempted to build a case on her being the SK. Also you and I both know my anger at roundbox is there. Don't act like it ain't.

What exactly about me saying that's interesting is super forced precisely? Do you think I felt obligated to say "hey I think that's interesting?" What do I have a 10 foot pole threatening my pelvis?

I will throw up from the bottom of my scrotum the nastiness nut juice you've ever smelt straight out of my mouth if someone had the goddamn audacity to wait this long before counter claiming.

I don't actually expect one.

[MixMasterLar]

Ok well


If your two top scum are gone and confirmed town, who seems the most scummy to you at this point in the game?

My scum leans are totally gone...



Let's just say I'm not ignoring your question, but just stating I need to go do some work instead of spouting an answer.

[Charu]

No scum tells, hmm?

What about SK tells, Xel?

[Charu]

Sad that Pre only left a little bitty post and didn't talk to MML like I wanted.

Unfortunate, I expect the two of you to talk (As in both MML and Precarious are ACTIVELY in the thread) way in advance before EoD this phase. Failure to comply will result in unsatisfactory actions on Precarious.

Both the wolf and SK managed to hit town players and avoid doubling up on the same player. This isn't necessarily the best result for them, since as the player population dwindles, they need to worry about each other as well as the town.

You seem like you've been leading somewhere with night kills analysis, but you refuse to actually say something. Please do.

Looks like his biggest scum lean was me and then DFR behind?

1. The wolf and SK won't necessarily target people that suspect them, as that's easily traceable. Of course that kind of thinking inevitably leads to WIFOM, but

2. While DFR is no longer in the game, you are, so roundbox's suspicion remains at least somewhat relevant.

Impression reads, before I actually iso. I don't know if the difference between how I feel now and how I'll feel after closer re-reads is relevant, but hey.

Zenith: Performance has been consistent. I don't remember any posts that really deviated from his basic way of playing, other than shit posting that story at the beginning of the third day. I found an illogical point in his thinking yesterday, which was never addressed, but to be fair it was a relatively minor point. Mostly smooth tone, other than our conflict yesterday.

Charu: Town mechanically. His actual play has been trending down (going from the huge page posts of the first day to actively refusing to answer questions today), but that has no bearing on his alignment. I just wish he'd say more, since he's clearly capable of it.

Prec: Town. Feel free to ask me whatever.

MML: Has been improving the towniness of his play since entering; his starting posts were overly antagonistic and argued with claimed PRs, but has made more thoughtful posts since, and pushes people to do things. I like that he challenged Charu to interrogate him.

Xel: Xel started out the game with a bunch of nonsense that never made sense to me (from the perspective of any alignment). Since then, he's turned to a more conventional style of play (the usual cocktail of reads and thoughts and basic interactions), although I frequently disagree with the conclusions. Overall it feels a little superficial, but not overly so.

Mellon: Extremely quiet and low on activity for most of the game, then made several good posts near the end of the second day and the beginning of the third. Those posts make me hesitant to wolf/sk-read mellon, but the lack of activity is not a good look, since it makes him less likely to be night-attacked. That he pushed DFR without being unfair about it felt positive. Not thrilled about how quiet he's been since.

***

Based purely on how I feel about their overall games, I'd lean toward Xel and Mellon as anti-town, but it's more complicated than that now. Since only one wolf is left, yesterday and today they've essentially functioned as a second SK. There's no one for them to protect or distance from, and it's as important for them as for us to find their counterpart (perhaps even moreso, since if the wolf or the SK nightkills the other, the killed one loses the game). I'm going to review the whole game and see what turns up. I'd recommend that everyone do the same.

Wished I say more because I have a different read of you I'm not sharing you mean.

[Charu]

I'm not gonna share now, maybe later though.

It's not complicated at all. One of them has played kind of below average but not too far below while the other one is clearly a wolf trying their best to stay hidden.

Must be tough bein' an SK in that situation, eh? Looks like you're going for a gamble.

I can respect that
