"shiny white orbs!" Noraa whispered to Morning.
"How are you doing this fine afternoon ..... sir?" Morning politely asked.
Noraa puts the orb in Morning's hand and slightly pushes her forward.
"Sir my friend heard you gave tsunami Gypyx a couple of these" Morning says as she holds out the orb.

With 13 alive, it takes 7 to banish a tsunami to hell.

The deadline is in (expired on 2021-03-02 21:22:35).

[Titus]

@In the Beginning- The Rule of 3 is a general statement. When a scum mentions three or more players, one of them is also scum.

[Titus]

It's not always true but usually is.

[Titus]

I detest ITB's no elim vote, but I feel like that's an easy miselim to jump on away from Infinity.

[ItalianoVD]

Okay, so you think there is scum based on the way the wagon formed. My response to this is that people put a lot less weight to votes very early and will wagon people up in an attempt to see where they go.

Yes. I get that, but the fast forming RVS wagons that get to elimination are not common in my site experience and regardless of the alignment wagonee, I've found that there's gonna be at least one scum on it. And the probability for more scum rises the more votes it takes to eliminate 7,9,11, etc.

Anyone who actually lolhammers tends to get scrutinized the following day like what happened to you in Mini Normal 2193 after your day 1 hammer.

Well that scenario was different because we were close to deadline and it definitely wasn't RVS. Kinda different circumstances here.

[Aristophanes]

So imma just snipe this and then go to sleep and y'all can have a VC tomorrow morning if I wake up early enough but OMG GUYS IN PERSON SCHOOL TOMORROW CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!
NORAA WONT BE BORED AND ONLINE 24/7 ANYMORE OMG OMG OMG

YAYAYAYAYAY have fun Noraa and STAY SAFE! =D

Don't forget about us now that your irl friends are back plz

[ItalianoVD]

I'm also honestly having a soul connection with MC which is weird

I thought you townread him so why is it weird?

[ItalianoVD]

Oh... ok.

[ItalianoVD]

I guess it's best to wait for the voters to come in and give us their perspective.

I think your idea of where scum is makes sense due to my unique perspective of thinking me and infinity like had similar thought behind choosing to RVS murdercat which makes our votes rather NAI.

Momrangal mentioned the blind spot of the early voters and how most players don't look there, so while it's likely I'd look at the late voters it's best that I also keep my eye on the early voters as well. Scum can use RVS as a reason for being on a wagon.

[ItalianoVD]

42 pinged me at first, I think it's just ari's writing style

Literally, I get this a lot XD

And like, I have for years so *shrugs* whatcha gunna do I guess!

Man, I'm vibing with this here, lol. Same. I think that's why I get scumread a lot. I also sometimes can't express what's in my head right and so the words sound strange when I right and then I gotta correct and explain.

[JohnnyFarrar]

VOTE: My friend JohnnyFarrar

Because fuck you, that's why <3

What an ass bastard

[JohnnyFarrar]

Oh, good catch Italiano. E-1 this early is a bit much.

I agree there is likely scum there, will take a look in a bit. Any thoughts on who looks like a culprit there?

Gamma or Titus. Mayyyyybe statue

[JohnnyFarrar]

I can see the MC rvs wagon being all town, but if scum did decide to join the RVS wagon, I would look at either Gamma or titus.

Whoa! Twinsies

[JohnnyFarrar]

Is agreeing scummy for Aristophanes? I’ve never played them.

There's a manipulative side to him, def

[JohnnyFarrar]

I don't like the top wagons.

We should just
VOTE: No Lim

instead.

Eyeroll

[JacksonVirgo]

Sorry for disappearing, girlfriend got her Ps (or license so she can drive on her own for anyone who doesn't know the Aussie system)

[JacksonVirgo]

I would probably say Titus or Statue imo instead of Gamma

[StatueSurfer]

Honestly, knowing we were still in RVS, I just skimmed the first 30 or whatever posts, and then picked someone to vote for a silly reason. I did see his name come up in a couple votes, but I thought he only had like 2 or 3 people voting for him. Anyway, it was just an RVS vote, so UNVOTE:

Now, some quick thoughts on the other stuff:

- Murdercat vs Infinity: Infinity's "reasoning" for SRing Murdercat is... well, isn't compelling to anyone except him. If he can come up with something more substantial than "i soulread MC", I might listen. That said, it seems more townie than scummy since I think scum would come up with an actual reason.

- "Were/are scum on Murdercat's wagon": Well... I have no idea. I think if scum *are* present they are either a) in the first three, since it's unlikely they planned to try to turbo someone on page 2, although other scum could've hopped on because B) they are (more likely) one of the people who put Murdercat to E-1, in hopes that a clueless townie might hammer him (yes... I realize this includes me.)

- In The Beginning: The

other

guy who brought MC to E-1, except he did it very deliberately. Then he suggests no-elimination??? (although this is weird, it isn't really scummy) A very strange start, though.

- Flea the Magician: two people said Flea was definitely town? On the first day? Seriously?

I'll do better after I get some sleep.

[Titus]

I am looking forward to statue's reads. I find his current post underwhelming because it seeks to undermine townreads but doesn't really put forth scumreads.

Summary: Infinity isn't persuasive. Maybe there's scum on the murdercat wagon, maybe not. ITB is strange (note: no conclusion). People townread Flea too easily. No conclusion as to who is townreading Flea too easily. No conclusion as to whether that's townie or scummy. No conclusion as to Flea's alignment.

A lot of words, but it says nothing. I want to see more.

[Infinity 324]

I'm not really one for soulreads especially within the first couple of pages. I'll leave it be since it's apparently not uncommon for Infinity but I also think it is an easy place for scum to hide and/or pockets to be lined depending on usage.

I get this, and I'll stop focusing on murder so much if it's not useful. To be fair, I think I would have trouble faking a read like this as scum, and I generally have trouble faking SRs as scum. I think murder should know that too, which is why I don't see his SR on me coming from town. Gamma mentioned the game he modded where I was scum and murder was town--there, murder had doubts about my alignment and lots of people (including his neighbor) were SRing me, but he was willing to cooperate with me and work with me for the time being. Here he's like not doing that, he asked me about titus but the cooperative energy isn't there.

Ok onto other slots.

[Infinity 324]

Oh and obligatory: I use soulreads like this because they work, generally the earlier the better.

This post feels towny, also I think it's towny for titus to speculate the me/murder scum theater, she likes to sound more reasonable as scum. Not sure I agree with statue scum.

Ari feels towny to me so far, and italiano feels very newb towny. Johnny is scummy for popping in and saying nothing. Very slight townpings on gamma.

[JohnnyFarrar]

Ur scummy

[Titus]

Then why aren't you voting him?

[Flea The Magician]

Why is it's closeness to elimination such a concern? This reads to me as scum who are glad they aren't going to be scrutinized because they weren't on the wagon. I'll be sure to keep an eye on you.

But then surely my optimal play there is not you know... not mention it..?

*passes the straws over*

They are the paper ones, mind. I do have others if you're in need?

You have quite the considerable solve for D1, like I know some peeps crank out hero solves but daaamn you here solving fo the gold it's almost like you kinda informed... I reckon theres actual scum in your scumteam though...

I have trouble reading toogs and titus, admittedly, Ari is passing my vibe check for now... I'm actually hapy on this vote. :3
