Suffice to say I've been through this ringamarole from you in Bloodstained and I'm not subjecting myself to it again.

I have no desire to discuss this further for game health reasons.
Okay.

I don't know that you actively trying to sway me is going to help anything anyways, so I am down for you guys to focus on the rest of the game.

Although, I am not the only person who called out your posts from last night. It might actually be more helpful for me to see you engage with those rather then engaging with me directly anyways.

Hey morph, if there’s anything else you have any questions on from last night let me know. I know we threw lots of information at you all at once.

Well, the way you're replying makes me think you're legit beliving in your own towniness, and also i just don't think you play around me like that as scum? Of course you might know how to pocket me but whatever

i originally viewed it as scum indicative cause it felt like as town you weren't really trying to hide your emotions so much? it's a bit of just me and my big mindset theory which is slowly crumbling each time i'm wrong, idk, think i'll go back on that read if stuff changes

In post 2150, Hermit Crab wrote: So. Now that I have been greenlit to start fully working with you two, advancing the gamestate is warranted. I’ve been putting in a lot of thought about our hood in particular, and I would really love to give a penny for both of your thoughts.

Dunn I always am back and forth on, I believe someone phrased it as he is easiest to read with a moderate amount of experience with him. Gun to my head, I think he’s town. I think his interactions with Oblivion felt town, alongside general good solvey feels.



agree and add neuterhalf's cheekytell.
The mouse feels town, and I don’t think he would be as overtly campaigning to change your read as scum. I think it feels way too transparent and boring, and that scum-spiffeh would much rather be sneaky to get one over then transparently poking and prodding until you guys follow suit, you know?

I'm coming around on spiffeh. I dunno if neuterhalf agrees. The strength of the clangy (to us) post requires quite a bit of counterbalance.

Basically, all my early scumreads are turning to mush. :/
Bingle is somewhat of an enigma, but bear with me on this one. While I don’t fundamentally trust everything he’s doing, I find that once in a blue moon, these players turn out to be town.

I'm not scumreading Bingle. I think that's probably clear with my this morning posts. I haven't played much with Bingle, but I do see his scumgame as much more manipulative than his town game. And I see parallels here to Yggdrasil. Do you also?
Cakeboy’s entrance leaves a lot to be desired, as we pretty much have all seen. I’m really not loving what Mr. Bear pointed out though.

What's your current pooky read?
Katniss is Katniss, and if Cakeboy isn’t scum then I think he is.

I've liked Katniss's recent posting better than what came before. But, he's never been below null to me here.

Gypyx, do you think Dann and Spiffeh would be playing around you specifically this game, given how many other more vocal people are in this list ?

I noticed you used a similar argument with Spiffeh - "Spiffeh is scum because he would say this specific thing to deliberately pocket me in particular" but I'm not sure I buy that you truly believe that.

I'm a slot that usually lives to ELo, i think my opinion is pretty important to the scumteam

i do agree that point wasn't a masterpiece though, kinda my brain running on an ego theory

It's hard to assert myself like I typically can.
I believe this as I feel this way as well

Did you have thoughts on Cakez and the "timing" of his response?

Spoiler:
In post 2191, Cat Scratch Fever wrote: I think the cakez slip is fairly suspicious. I like morph's timing argument. And in addition when you review his posts from this recent burst, whenever he quote responds to someone else, he has done so within 5 minutes and typically within 2-3 minutes. So I get the sense that he was refreshing the thread a lot.

The only time he took ~10 mins to respond was to poiky's accusation.

VOTE: Cakez

I also think it was suspect that Brian Skies didn't react to the cakez thing at all. I think he might've been the only player around the time to post but not comment on it, but instead voted firebringer.
