I guess being a traitor instead of group scum could explain the difference in his ability to get going.

Heck with you guys, there's nothing wrong with my reasoning on Gypyx. Lacking the vital bit of information about her just having been in a game with best friends (or rather more precisely, town informed neighbors) does not make my logic dumb or bad and I don't appreciate the smear attempts.

Most of us (me, hermit, and fireisredsir) just said that it made you more likely to be town.

But I think that Dunn
might have called it dumb

Once we get our colored shiny list in order, naturally, but the AD data is relevant to a LOT of the other slots swirling around.

We're all agreed that if EXP flips town we're killing the everloving shit out of sunflower, and then if that don't end it, the wolfy twink, aye?
I'm likely to be very upset if things go south but whatever no use getting worked up over it before it has happened

It's more a hedge than anything, Peta. Take it as your paranoia badge of honor.

I think in 99.99% of worlds it's one of the two.

I am in "will buy a drink when visits" level of sure on Marcitown. (Editor's note: This is not an actual deal or promise Mr. Mod)

And I'm taking the word for it mostly on STD.

That leaves you to figure it out if we hit wrong twice, and course-correct onto either my tiki bar wallet loss, or my smug dead thread told you so to ffery from page ten or so instead of you.

I do think that 5052 relies on a misreading of 5038.

But I never said that the Best Friends post in Mafia Discussions was dumb. Just that it makes you town for making it.

yeah fair enough

I would also be blown away if marci is scum but then be mad at myself for not catching it anyway. I just have a dislike of scenarios where I get slotted as POE in an order people are expectd to sleepwalk through. Been down that path a few too many times.

Same, sowing sucks. Varsoon scum took me from mech autowin to 3P due to an oversight. Glad I'm reaping this time!

Well is me prodding at her for information still, trying to get her to be more specific without tipping her off yet that it's about the Mafia Discussion post that I'd seen. So if you're thinking I'm misreading her in thinking that she was saying she forgot or something, that's not what the point was, that isn't what I was thinking. That was a suggestion and pressure to be clear that she claims not to have seen the claim when it was made, which was inconsistent with her seemingly randomly bringing the role up in the discussion thread, hence my dropping that info afterwards to ask why it was on her mind if not because of this game.

It was in ffery's theme. I played as "Lady Terminally Offline":

If you strip out TL from that hydra's iso, do you think that rh's posts resemble rh's posts here?
What's the point of homework if I give out the answers before the due date?
I did the homework, but I have questions. I read it, and I actually feel like RH looked ~okay~ there, and that it was actually TL that did all the stumbling. So I am curious what you see that made you decide to share it
I had non-activity reasons to scumread the hydra in that game and kept pushing even when their activity dipped in the middle. In this game they were inactive for a long time and then had some weirdness around their claim.

I'm not sure about hydra heads or who exactly was making what post

In post 3013, Brian Skies wrote: brian wagon: [spiffeh, morph, marci, lukewarm, dunnstral, sunflower, pooky, cakez, penguin, csf]

I'd say the first six on my wagon are probably town.
if brian was town reading partners they were probably better positioned without a likelihood of flipping soon

imo like spiffeh or dunnstral

probably dunnstral, I don't really scum read spiffeh anymore
meh the more Dunn posts today the more I think he is likely just town and me holding the scumread was cope in the face of not wanting to be wrong

I think if there's scum in the night market it's likely Firebringer, and I think he looks bad in particular if the ActionDan slot flips scum - he was parked there for most of Day 1 but not really doing anything about it, and I think that's a slot that scum are likely to look at and go "how is this not getting scumread more"
I agree with the firebringer read but reviewing his posts actually makes me want to move to sunflower. He jumped on Dan kinda fast over the miller fos whereas I remember dunnstral and Dann had a more natural seeming approach

Firebagel, I don't know that it helps you sort me or me sort you to have a back and forth on what I think you misunderstood in that post, especially because you have already dropped the line of questioning on your own.

I was just trying to make it clear that I was not calling you dumb.

I agree that they looked really bad in that game, I was spectating it, and from the spectator thread I was saying they were clearly mafia.

But my problem was that I was really sure the TL was mafia, and RH was just kinda along for the ride, and stripping TL from the iso reading it back, I was unsure why Cabd sent it.

I do think that RH looked worse in the hood tho. I need to go back and look at a joint cabd+RH iso, to see the inflection point there, but that might not happen tonight.

i like danns analysis on brian... except he doesnt really go pushing dunnstral so it seems a bit noncommital in that way. would've loved to see more there but its just reading as a MEH post.

whatever this best friends shit regarding gypyx is bs because iirc the og reasonings here is something OUTSIDE game thread? do my gal gypyx more justice!!

im 100% down to vote experience if we're ready to end day right now, but i sort of want to see if oblivion can catch up a bit more before day ends.

I didn't say it was scummy. I think the argument is bad but it's the kind of thing I would have pointed out a few years ago, probably.
