this doesn't feel like something you would care about

like the uwu morph im nervous to ask why is oblivion town. and asking about cakez. idk it reminds me of her mindset when we were scum together

well that is why i am not pushing marci i don't really think her play necessarily makes more sense as wolf it just is hard for me to see it as real

but i think it's more likely for that to just be like. a miscalibrated gut. but i would also feel dumb if she did end up being scum and i didn't bring it up so im doing that

heh.

Have you talked about your reads of your hoodmates? Are you thinking about the game in those terms? possible scum in Marci's hood, your hood, and the leftovers?

Tangentially I think the one post of Brian's that I've actually liked was .
I feel like you know the answer to that question, but given we have some of our hood who have yet to post ANYWHERE it’s a bit tricky to accurately forecast our reads. All I hve is the solace that PP promised me Bingle is town.

Unofficial VC. No implied or expressed warranty of accuracy. Void where prohibited, YMMV

Klick 6 (morph, Hermit, Pooky, Dunnstral, PenguinPower, Dannflor)
ActionDan 2 (Lukewarm, Firebringer)
Brian Skies 2 (Spiffeh, CatScratchFever)
Sunflower 1 (Klick)
Pooky 1 (Firebagel)
marcistar 1 (ActionDan)
Spiffeh 1 (Gypyx)
morph 1 (STD)

Not voting (Brian Skies, Oblivion, Shello, SirCakez, Bingle, marcistar, Sunflower)

It's interesting to see the Sunflower wagon dissipate so much. I know from observation that fireisredsir can churn out decent content as scum so I'm not terribly mollified by his posts about the hood. His comments about his Klick read don't do much for me. I'm the head who feels it's about 50-50 regarding which of them is scum.

Kinda. With Bingle showing up in the game thread, I wondered if he surfaced in the hood, too.

my brain is dissonant in what i feel about marci yes that's what i was trying to explain

and yea im aware of that, but idk if that really would help me here with 6 votes on klick and the slot with the most thread control hard shielding marci. if i wanted to keep the poe more open id talk about how i think it could be AD. which i do btw

like i think the doubling down but also not really caring to overly clarify about the timeline of the miller/cop thing basically never comes from scum

2. AD's timeline matches up very well if what Sunflower says is true about they and AD figuring out the dethy thing about an hour into the game

c. i like the thoughts on marci in , shows some awareness of a playstyle clash that I don't think scum!AD would allow to weaken his push there

My pooky read strengthened last night. He hasn't broken in to 2nd tier town, but he's close.

Some of the stuff he said about my hydra was ~interesting~, and not entirely how I perceive his reads of me, in or out of morph.

Neuterhalf was feeling sick last night. I'll assume I'm playing solo for now, but probably not for long. Everything posted since is spayhalf.

errant mech thought is that even if i gave the idea and klick flack earlier for the suggestion of 0 wolves is it possible that wolves can be switched into that neighborhood to get the benefits or is the wording explicit about their current presence

that feels like a suitable risk and reward / wifom play for this kind of game if wolves think one of their own can play strongly or if they want to frame someone

i don't even think 2 wolves in the dethy is out of the question

i really think it makes sense for people to be swapping around neighborhoods this game so i think the starting number of scum in any neighborhood probably can't be accurately guessed but im not mech brained!!

it isn't necessarily that the mafia in the hood get a benefit. it's that if there are mafia in the thread at the trigger point, something happens that benefits mafia. i read it as something that helps them as a whole rather than individually but idk could be either way

i also think that switching around feels likely
