(For the record I would like to point out that I am aware that I am behind by a lot.
For now
, I don't have an issue with this, since I sincerely believe that I can get caught up, and once caught up I won't fall behind by a lot again, since the game will presumably have slowed down to a more manageable pace requiring less commentary. However, I'm aware that interacting with very old content and not interacting with folks on more recent stuff is not optimal, so if it turns out that I actually can't get caught up, I'll abandon the effort.
Right now, I'm not abandoning the catchup effort because I genuinely sincerely believe I
can
get caught up, realistically. But if it turns out that my desire to catch up is unrealistic, I'll just go "fuck it, catching up from here". We've not reached that point, yet, but I have it on my radar. I've been responding to posts concurrent to my catchups when I catch them for instance, so like. I can abandon the catchup at any time, I just don't think it's a
necessity
to do so yet. So I'm aiming to be caught up within the next two days.)
Big mood. (I am slightly townreading Keeper by the way.)

And to do that you need to make it so that you aren’t making yourself too obvious an target by obvtowning. But also not too desireable an lim because that allows you to be eliminated.
I think i’m allowed to say this as i’ve been nommed for Hannibal Lecter so when it comes to third-party play i do know some things. And Multiball is basically the same mindset for an scum player. It’s all about the balancing act. Don’t give town or the second groupscum too much power. Keep the gamestate contested and keep your priorities just right. Pocket some town, but not too many. Push scum, but not too hard. Make yourself indispensable for both town and scum so they both have an reason to keep you around. That’s how i actually expect scum to play here.
For the record: this is the one and only way you
could
be scum, is via your resemblance to your arsonist game.
But otherwise you just radiate townness.

Meg? Yes. It's town-indicative.
Toog? No, it's literally the opposite. Toog never makes that vote as town.

Kind of seemed fillery, the way they FoSed monkeyman rather that joining the bandwagon seemed odd, like they might have been wanting to contribute to the pressure without looking like they were being opportunistic. Kind of like being more questioning of FL townreading them and not caring much about the scumreads, though. Reference to getting scumread for playstyle, might have to check that out. Still feels aggressively null, could easily be the type of limbait player I frequently misread.
I on the other hand have no qualms about scumreading that slot.
You would, because TvT shows are always a pleasure for scum to watch.
Side-note, but
1284 is basically a hard-scumclaim from FL.
(For the record, I would legit vote anyone on my south-of-null list and genuinely just don't know
who
to vote. There's nine scum, eight of them groupscum, and if my reads are in the right area, most if not all of the players I am scumreading are scum so like...which scum do I want to vote for? A vote for scum is a vote for scum but I only have one vote in spite of having like eight players I want to vote.)
