Oh well. I played like garbage this game.

No. You absolutely did not. Don't judge your whole game by one mistake.

You tried harder than anyone, and you were 100% right about me, just for the wrong reasons. I even said that when I wrote that post the other day about why Dennis did not need to die for the SVS/Lucy/Dennis team to be debunked.

None of what I said made me civ, but it wasn't the reason I was bad either.

Until endgame, I played an awful game myself. I haven't been bad in years, and was super rusty. I was blendy, my reads were all wishy washy, trying to find 20 ways to say "but" without saying "but".

You were on the table for NK every night after Quin (and Quin really was for lulz; after that discussion about should he/shouldn't he lay out his thoughts during the night, we decided to NK him regardless of which he chose), but we tried to pick people we thought wouldn't be protected, and you were always a strong possibility for that since you were civving it hard.

yeah, the second i saw people had made that post of mine a "thing" i was like, great, i'm dead.

not sure how i feel about being the night 1 kill for lulz

ok so you meant "present" insight

lmao bro you just wasted so many words completely discrediting your future read accuracy this game

implying i have ever given a damn about "rEaD aCcUrAcY"

can someone explain why half the ISOs i read are in reverse order

its not a new thing but i am very displeased

I did think about delaying this until just before the night ends, but I'll be working at the time so I don't have the luxury. Shrug.

methinks scum team is SVS, lucy and Dennis.

So far in this game, I'm disagreeing with pretty much everything SVS says, and our conversation about scum agendas felt semantic and circular. She thinks lucy focussing so much on the previous game instead of this one isn't suspicious, when my mind (and I'm not the only one) immediately goes to, to quote Kate: "Or maybe the agenda is keeping focus on the last game and keeping it off of her in this one?". This is the interpretation I would expect from town SVS, because it's such an easy angle to add pressure on from someone I usually associate with supertown.

What I disagree with the most, and therefore hate, is this post:

Dennis wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 3:50 pm @S~V~S What made you think Lucy and I don't have BTSC?

The conversation you had with her about Istanbul/Mujahadeen felt real. It did not feel staged, it did not have that chatroom, "Let's go banter in the thread!" feel about it. Especially the way you ended it,

Dennis wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 1:13 am Oh wow you sound like Mr. Talbot

Sorry, but I'm not very interested in history or politics. Most of it goes right through my head. I know hardly anything about the Cold War too. But if that's what makes you happy then you have fun, don't let me stop you

...followed by her attempting to reengage, but you just ignored it. It had an, "OK I'm done with this" feel to it.

lucy and Dennis's interaction did not feel 'real' at all. I don't understand how SVS is seeing it as an organic conversation when part of it involved lucy asking Dennis's mother for permission to start it.

Rather, it felt like lucy tried to force some OT-but-in-white-so-not-OT distancing, Dennis (or the third scum) realised how it looked, and told Dennis to shut it down. It could also look like a really weird attempt for the masons to hint themselves early on. GTH it's the former. Regardless, SVS is explaining away something that just seems so evocative to me. Find me a natural segue between Dennis avoiding problematic content on the internet and Constantinople and I'll eat my pileus.

I suspect lucy and Dennis for their exchange, and SVS for her response to it. Either way SVS/lucy can be w/w. I'll look at lucy and Dennis if I live.

this is becoming quite dramatic, says quin the main character of the universe

and practically impossible to silence town who gove a damn.

i suppose its a matter of who ive got in this game.


quote fing up on mobile.

if im scum im killing neon tonight out of sheer pettiness

Yes it does. If you're right then you might get NK'd and that would suck.

No it doesn’t. If he never speaks his mind and is NKed, then no one ever knows what he’s thinking.

If anything not saying anything makes him more likely to be NKed.

And Mountain Vacation for the win.

This is actively false lol

its not lol. once the words are out there'd be no point in NKing me for it. even if they did, i dont need to be alive to make a lynch happen as long as remaining town look into the read.

either way im lining my case out when i get home so /shrug

no it doesnt

does mongoose know she ended the poll instantly

actually dennis is more a suspect by association, i want confirmation of my theory first before pursuing him

talk more after work.

This made me giggle out loud thanks for Saturday morning smiles!

I've been reading childrens books only and trying to find some that I can margin write for my Granddaughter my fave so far I found was The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Mackesy. I adore it's messages.

@Neon Not sure yet but eye was drawn somewhere D 0 but I'm giving it a chance since it was only D 0. So no name mentioning for yet. How about you?

Your welcome <3

I don't have many thoughts. I think Lucy is town... so like can't wait for round 2 of Neon vs everyone lol

Normally this would be OT, but since the host asked, imma call it topical. Last non fiction book I read that I really enjoyed was "I am Not a Serial Killer" by Dan Wells. It's part of a trilogy and I plan to buy the others after the holidays.

I have no reason to think Lucy is bad, she seems more interested in figuring out the last game to me so far, so I am not really seeing an agenda re this one. Civs generally always have the same agenda, if someone seems to have a different agenda, that's eye catching. But it's early times.

The only things that stuck out to me so far are Rondo calling out the first three people to post besides him and Falcon, but I didn't see his early game in LGM. This kind of thing could be the norm for him so meh. IIRC he pretty much voted for almost everyone every day, or nearly so, in LGM.

Another is Kate talking about how quiet it is with out Golden and Scotty, but not really engaging outside of OT herself. But it's early days, and I know she isn't feeling well irl, although I decided after last game to stop letting that influence me so much. I like to sort her out early becasue she can blindside me, although i can't remember the last time she was bad in a game where I was civ.

A third is Lemonfairy champing at the bit to start towards the end of zero, then falling off. Could be a time zone thing, I never played with them (hi new to me person!). I see you already voted for them; is this a real vote, a vibe vote or a placeholder until something better comes along vote? Do you have experience with them?

Other than that (and most of that is a stretch, tbh) everything else is pretty fluffy.

Could this not be scum faking engagement?

Are you asking us, or is this your opinion?

yes

That being, said I don't actually think lucy is unengaged in this game.

I have an agenda. I'm town. I don't think a lack of agenda is necessarily alignment indicative, it just means they haven't become engaged enough in the game to develop one.

The lack of engagement says more to me than the lack of agenda.

Neon's energy does not match my expectations, it may be AI... I think.

Can you elaborate? Certainly your lick gave off more than that? Or is it just the feels on these 2?

Yes. I think Town Falcon who is present early would have a minor interest in scouting...

This does not appear to be present so far.

Neon has seemed to drastically shift meta to come out guns blasting. Neon is a player who is good at finding town and going from there... Not this behavior we see now.

Now, I should continue my efforts at home.

[VOTE: Wilgy] aubergine


This is not how a player should read my slot, and Wilgz has more than enough experience to know this.



So! I expect this is Wilgz Maf scouting, of course which he knows Town falcon will get engaged, at which point he can go "Oh, he IS Town after all!"



Imma chop that slot right meow

but you are already engaged.

This is not like the recent games where you were away from keyboard... You are here but have proposed no town Falcon esq lines of question.

No, I've splashed in the pool, but I haven't started swimming yet.



This isn't all too different from Guns & Lawyers, where I was around but not serious until later in the game.



Am I capable of duplicating this as a Wolf? At this stage, sure totally, but my engagement as the game progresses is how to read my slot.



So for D0/D1 SR on my slot if I'm not howlin'? Not how to read my slot, and you know this

i actually read your slot through tarot, but that's just me

[VOTE: falcon] aubergine

I like SVS thoughts so far, and I find myself agreeing with her. I’m getting a little deja vu of the last game where we were t/t, so I’m giving a slight town lean for now.

I won’t vote lemonfairy. New to the site. Deserves time to adjust.

Wilgy: a perfect combination of jokesy with serious. Not seeing the same things as him but I like the perspective.

sweet jesus your profile picture is horrifying
