Micro 1080: Brass and Shrapnel - Game Over!

[Something_Smart]

I don't scumread Skygazer per se but I'm happy leaving my vote on them until they do something.

I didn't really like the Merlyn wagon despite my initial suspicion but I haven't really loved her response to being wagoned. It's kinda like-- it feels like there's a lack of urgency? Like she's like "oh well, guess I'm being wagoned, better try and stay calm and just try to figure out who's scum the way I normally would" which is a bit of an unusual response from town and especially from newish town. Especially given she had already dropped a fatalistic "if you're gonna lim me, lim me" but usually when townies do that they get annoyed when votes stall.

I think Jason is town for advancing solving particularly for the question I pointed out earlier. Drew feels towny too for playing in an aggressive and dynamic way that doesn't seem focused enough to be agenda-driven or motivated by looking good. I never have any idea what T3 is doing but turning to Alianna when he did is a strange choice as scum unless his partner is exactly Skygazer.

[JasonWazza]

SS do you have any scum reads or is it just Town reads all the way down?

Also i'll be honest, i went and checked the wagon/attempted to find the reasoning, and what does Merlyn have to be urgent about?

I feel like i've lost the reason that Merlyn is even a wagon if i'm being honest.

KT is going with the, i have a reason but i do not tell.
Alianna's reason is... you ain't obvtown?
GrandpaSpino's reasoning is that Merlyn isn't doing exactly as they expect a Newbie to play? (this might be the main one i'm down playing, but this does really feel like the core part of reason)

But the GS vote looks weird considering Mo clearly wanted to attempt to find scum 2, and Bianco crushed that real quick to do a E-1 and then Mo has seemingly forgot to go find scum 2?

[Doctor Drew]

There's also a progression from questioning GS and seemingly scumleaning/maybe scumreading them (beginning of the ISO to 264) to saying they feel different from a past scumgame (346) and questioning Doc's S/S theory on them and Merlyn (349). There's content in there, it's just not super strong stances.
And now I want to know what happened between those posts, because it doesn't quite add up.
@T3 - could you elaborate on how you're reading GS and what changed for you?

its funny because t3 does this a lot on both allginments and I have been wrong every single time.

also its funny u point that out because thats when Drew was implying I was town because they said I was acting different but now say I'm s/s with meryln

Yes, I find Merlyn scummy, I have a hunch her spat with you is SvS, but you don't strike me as scummy as you were when I knew you were scum. Not sure why I can't have all three thoughts going on in my head.

This is why I haven't really considered voting for you, but am perfectly fine with Merlyn being the lim, and then if she is scum it would kinda shape my thoughts process a bit more.

[KittyTacky]

I still think Merlyn is scummy.

For the same reasons, still?

Yes.

[KittyTacky]

I still think Merlyn is scummy.

Who is number 2 on your list?

I'd say T3? Too lurky, even by my standards, content to sit back.

[KittyTacky]

Though it kinda depends on Merlyn flip.

[Doctor Drew]

Though it kinda depends on Merlyn flip.

You think T3 and Merlyn are connected?

[T3]

UNVOTE:

I know I was harsh on you earlier, and I apologize for that. I will admit I did have confirmation bias, but I do still think you are the vote for today.

I am trying to figure out who your possible partner could be if you're scum.

I want to explore this for right now.

VOTE: KittyTacky

Well this supports my SvS theory for Merlyn/BianMo.

VOTE: Merlyn

Back at E-2 you go.

What’s wrong with how GS moved off Merlyn?

They were going kinda hard at each other, but Merlyn never seemed like they would seriously vote BianMo, and now this move on to Kitty while also saying Merlyn should be the vote.

Especially as the heat really is starting to pile on Merlyn.

Well yes, this is true, but what do you find bad about their explanation?

I need Jason here to read the tea leaves better than I can.

And what exact read are you looking for exactly?

Because not to be rude, but i think it's at least clear what i think about Merlyn (i'm not continuing to vote her)

I can't read Alianna, and I always have trouble with Bianco.....Granpa I 'think' I have a read on.....

But listen, you clearly showed in our last game you are legit.....so believing you are town here, I will sheep you for the time being.

VOTE: Sky

Eh, there's some irony here.

But @T3, I don't see why you dislike Drew's vote for Merlyin? You have Merlyn as townlean, so you must feel it was opportunistic, but that can't be otherwise there would have been no reason to change vote shortly after

I don’t think I understand. Can you please explain it again?

[Alianna]

Drew feels towny too for playing in an aggressive and dynamic way that doesn't seem focused enough to be agenda-driven or motivated by looking good.

I agree with this read, Drew can be town for now.

Dynamic and aggressive but lacking focus basically sums up my life.

[Doctor Drew]

Also Smart, you win a prize that I will reveal in the postgame.

I don't quite understand this, could you explain it?

T3, not sure if you saw this question, but could you answer this?

[Doctor Drew]

I will say, she was pretty obvtown to me last game and I'm not really seeing it this time around.

Maybe there's a lead there.

VOTE: Merlyn

This looks like some pretty bad opportunism.

Alaina

is prepared to E-2 Merlyn, who she does not even scumread? Alianna’s read is just that she doesn’t townread Merlyn.

Also, Alianna......just want to point out that I never misspelled your name this bad haha.

LOL. If that's a way to pocket me, it's working.

[Alianna]

Doc, I don't recall if you ever commented on this, but how does bianco's E-1 vote on Merlyn (332) fit into your S/S theory?

[Doctor Drew]

This may sound a bit nutty, but I could see Bianco wanting to play some chess with me in particular.

That being said, is Merlyn still at E-1?

[Doctor Drew]

Who is the we in this context?

Oh sorry, sky and I.

Shouldn't that make the reasoning given in this game for not posting worse?

I don't think so?

She wasn't exactly super active until endgame there as well.
