[Necessary Sneasel]

So I'm thinking that if Gloria isn't scum with Pooky (which I don't entirely want to rule out) then she's very likely town.

co-sign, i think gloria is quite pocketable for pooky as well

she posted elsewhere onsite between the post before the one that struck me as guilty & her post before it so I kinda assumed she wasn't literally inactive the whole time

I'm still surprised she didn't feel compelled to engage with anything else

I literally had not read the intervening posts.

I had a limited amount of time and prioritized a game with an impending deadline. Not sure if it's the one I can talk about yet or not.

no stress, it was a good read to shake things up but probably not a realisic alignment indicator

[Necessary Sneasel]

I also just like that latest string of Fidget posting.

what do you like about it?

[Necessary Sneasel]

If there isn't scum at the bottom, then all scum has to do is nod their heads to us not pairing Rainbow/Jake, and they win. Which is what is occuring if they're T-T, I don't think a single player is really against it. Akarin did try to pair them, I suppose.

i suppose i'll concede that akarin isn't actually super likely to be scum but i'm having a hard time committing to a townread on her

you're like my only strong townread other than uncrowned

[Necessary Sneasel]

Ok Gloria I see.

So I'm thinking Uncrowned, Sneasel, Gloria, and Akarin should get out of here first. The only paranoia I harbour there is maybe a slight one on Akarin. Could do well to get that out of my mind, I suppose, but we are also gonna be really pressed for time and if one of these is wrong, extra time would be good.

slightly prefer subbing you for akarin here but i do think the game goes in two different directions depending how gloria/akarin flip so meh

How would people feel about me trusting Shelly?

Dad?

i don't feel like i townread shelly enough to want to trust her, and i'm worried a scumflip from her would accomplish nothing
is it bad i'd rather roll the dice on hectic than shelly atm?

I think Hectic is pretty high on my town list now as well. If Uncrowned rejects his offer, I would accept Hectic’s. I’ve long harboured a secret crush on his avatar but please don’t tell Pooky. The last time I brought a date home, it didn’t end well. :/

spicy

[Necessary Sneasel]

It's probably not exactly Jake-Rainbow, so I have to be concerned with who's the scum with them, but I can't come up with a decent answer as of yet.

pooky is scum lol

[Jake The Wolfie]

So I just asked Eqi what would happen if one scum trusted the other and they said that it would show up on the trust count.

[Fidget]

I could do that, but I wanna stay in the game longer if possible.

Could see doing that yeah.

pooky is scum lol

If he's scum with Rainbow or Jake, he's more or less committing to losing because both he and they are going to be around too long. Pooky's only interested in pairing off his daughters. Oh, maybe his dislike of you as a potential suitor is tactical, though.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

tfw your daughter starts talking to a raving lunatic

[Fidget]

I'm sorry, Dad :( please don't be upset with me.

His read on you from earlier was odd, but I don't think he's scum. His read on Akarin was nuts, but I again don't

think

he's scum. Maybe I could refresh on why I think that sometime.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

sigh Fidgey.

You don't even know who this guy is.

He could be an axe murderer.

[Akarin]

Pooky, why is Shelly scum?

Gloria, why is Hectic town?

[Necessary Sneasel]

So I just asked Eqi what would happen if one scum trusted the other and they said that it would show up on the trust count.

eh I made a mistake, we've been over this and acknowledged uncrowned's reaction was more likely to come from town anyway

keep up, what are you thinking about the game of mafia were playing?

[Necessary Sneasel]

I could do that, but I wanna stay in the game longer if possible.

why & why should we remove us 4 before you?

[Necessary Sneasel]

if he is he needs 1-2 incorrect peoole in the PoE to win and after he became PoE'd he started shading

yeah it's tactical

[Gloria Cleary]

Pooky, why is Shelly scum?

Gloria, why is Hectic town?

His thought process seems really genuine. He’s asking lots of good questions. I’m mindmelding with him on quite a bit and his avatar is making my heart go pitter patter.

[Necessary Sneasel]

sigh Fidgey.

You don't even know who this guy is.

He could be an axe murderer.

I am an axe murderer, y'all need only concern yourselves with who I plan to murder

Pooky, why is Shelly scum?

Gloria, why is Hectic town?

His thought process seems really genuine. He’s asking lots of good questions. I’m mindmelding with him on quite a bit and his avatar is making my heart go pitter patter.

quote 3 of his posts and tell me why you agree with them and why you think you two having the same conclusions is town indicative

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

the last game she rolled scum vs me she pocket me with "Pooky bleeding obvtown" with fairly weak reasons and now she's running it back except this time saying "Pooky bad bear" with fairly weak reasons. Her mindset is focussed on attacking people that she thinks are attackable and putting them down below her in the final 4 - she has a very focused approach to the game.

[Akarin]

if he is he needs 1-2 incorrect peoole in the PoE to win and after he became PoE'd he started shading

He needs at least 3 townies in the scummiest bunch of players to win.

I think this is an important distinction.

[Gloria Cleary]

@Pooky, do you approve of Hectic? He promised to invite me for a five course meal complete with a carafe of Chianti and fava beans. I’m think I’m in absolute heaven. Please say yes, I think his fridge will be full soon.

[Akarin]

His thought process seems really genuine. He’s asking lots of good questions. I’m mindmelding with him on quite a bit and his avatar is making my heart go pitter patter.

I

do

like his avatar. But I was thinking his ISO looked kind of sparse when I was reading it again. What parts do you think you're most mind-melding on?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

He has not said a word to me Gloria and I don't think you should trust people with funny hats.

[Akarin]

I hear Hectic has quite the plumber's crack
