is if this game wasnt a dethy and it was just 5 random sanity town cops thrown in a hood and you just decided it was a dethy and the real shell game was the scum conning us into thinking this is a dethy and its not really a dethy

viewtopic.php?f=90&t=84557

cuz like im looking back at fakegod's dethy and its pretty explicitly stated that its a dethy but here we don't actually have an explicit statement that we're playing dethy.

and if the entire scum team is laughing at you doing this and we're going down this rabbit hole I'm gonna be so annoyed.
Would this make the mod message that if there is scum in the game x days from now, they scum team get a prize, just a pure mod misdirect in this world view?

I forgot about that mod message when I wrote this out. I mostly was thinking along the lines of "the previous game was very explicit about the makeup of the hood" and the members of the hood seem to be uncertain about the makeup here so its not an apples to apples comparison and he's making a leap of judgement that its something that its not explicitly stated that it is and I'm not sure if thats accurate or because he wants to be playing the same game again.

i will agree that her tone is different clearly and that i’ve been discounting that since if she is trying a new playstyle it will be foreign but do you think that if she’s a wolf she’s the one who kind of begins the crumbing and leading the main thread into the info like she did?

also I feel like marci misunderstood things at first and that caused her to scum read ActionDan and then later she understood things better but had no discernable change in her ActionDan read

my main point is that "there is exactly one scum in this hood" is a very dangerous assumption to make because it can really fuck us if its simply not true

I don't think that is out of marci's wheelhouse at all

I think marci likes to do wacky impulsive stuff as scum and mind the consequences later

because fmpov i don’t think she would, she’s been explicit about wanting to focus on nightplay and while people May Lie idk it feels like putting like 50 eyes on the intricacies of it and their opinions might hinder her

i’ll revisit the dan read thing when i’m on my laptop
i think if i am wrong about a read in the hood it’s probably dan i feel like i may have cleared him too easily early on and it’s lingered

I feel like dan knows more about the setup than he should but that is just my gut talking.
see , AD had info that there was more going on than just his own role bc he noticed my crumbs

In post 1318, marcistar wrote: i think during pooky x oblivion. oblivion looks like REALLY bad. it sort of looks like its egging pooky on. While i really love the pop in from firebrigner, it seems so jokey and i feel like scums more likely to sit back while that spat was happening. i think overall that spat just screams that pookys town though, because of the reactions, and not really like actually placing blame, just trying to explain why what it did was wrong. it would've been really easy for scum pooky to just call oblivion scum and push that.

Brian skies if it does help within the hood i have the most posts then - sunflower - klick - dragon - actiondan
i think the post counts in the hood may make me a bit biased, but your reads here in that post pretty much align with mine. I think by far klick/sunflowers is more towny than the other 2.
I'm also curious how well you know catscratch..? Like what do you like about them, i know other people are used to their playstyle but i have no clue how much experience you have with them.
I agree that Oblivion looked as though they were egging Pooky on. I feel players of either alignment would get upset if they were being called manipulative and a snake they way Oblivion was doing it, but I can see why you would want to townread Pooky here. At the very least, I agree that Oblivion looks very bad from the exchange.

I do not think relative activity in a neighborhood is a good barometer of towniness/scumminess.

I don't know CSF. I liked their push against Oblivion early on, I agreed with some of their reads, and their posts feel like they're trying to figure things out. They also don't seem to just be relying on their miller claim.
