I'm not scum reading her. I'm saying that I'm not confident she's town enough to go around being all verbal about it, nothing close to it. That's not saying that I think she's scum. It's saying that I think it's scummy to call her town so early when she's barely said anything. Being verbal about someone being town is a pretty big step to take in the game, since it has lots of impact down the road. It's easier when you're scum to throw it around, since you know you can't be wrong.

 

[Ty4on]

Yeah, that's what you get for not answering your quotes in order... Let's try this again:



The flavor states that Team Rocket kills the Pokemon before they sell them. The further instructions bit also is an argument against the trainers simply being Scum.

Probably NAI, but I remember people misunderstanding the fluff for NK in DP to be weirdly annoying and corrected them.

not alignment indicative

 

[Royal_Flush]

Let's not downplay LP's criticism though. His complaint (I think) was that your responses were relative useless one liners. The fact that you had included many points in one post was really more of a passing comment (or, I guess, an accusation that you were intentionally inflating the length of your posts to feed that "infrequent but thoughtful" image of yours. That works too)

I mean it's not like a ton of stuff that was noteworthy already happened at this point. I also don't think that my one-liners are as useless as he's making them to be. I gave my opinion on the current hot topic (saying it was nothing). I also asked Gorlak a question which he didn't answer yet:

While reading this thread it's interesting that several players point at this trio, just like I did. Looks like that's the only interesting thing going on for now.

Kawl blaming town for honing in on a group of people early, is a clever way for scum to divert the attention.

Interesting or "easy target"-scummy?

For reference: "Several players" is, at least as far as I have gathered and in chronological order, Unmasked Ferret, melonrabbit and Sawneeks. Personally I think it was too early in the day for Scum to set such "easy" connections up (especially on D1 the focus tends to shift around quite a bit) but it's definitely something to keep in my mind. I still want to know what Gorlak thinks of those people.

I will give you that we're definitely picking up pace at least. Also, some people feel like tehy're doing a good job (Sawneeks, who I'm town reading. Ty4on, who I'm neutral on. Yourself, Darryl, etc)

The El Topo discussion was also pretty good now to see where others stood in regards to his stance, so there's that too.

I guess you're neutral on "yourself" (*Splinter) and Darryl, too? Also, what stance of topo are you referring to? "High post-count = not coasting" or "LP is coasting"? Because the first one is obviously wrong and I don't think we can get a lot from the responses and I don't remember a lot of reactions (except yours) to the second one.

 

[Darryl]

Anything in particular making you scum read her or just a null?

Curious of your thoughts on Gorlak and L_P as well if you have any.

I have absolutely no thoughts on them. Like they haven't even registered on my brain and I haven't attributed any significant tells or posts to them yet. These kinds of questions are really bothersome to me because I'm highly skeptical of your ability to pull anything whatsoever out of that info, and it's distracting the time I could be trying to pull stuff from the game and process it. In general, I think everyone is scummy right now except you, who I think has a slight town lead. Very slight. Like a 1℅ over.

*Splinter's pushing for me out of the gate, but that's not particularly unusual when I play with him. I can't really say it's alignment inactive.

Still not feeling too great about Darryl, but I'm also not scum reading him at the moment.

And I mean his stance in regards to what he considers useful Day 1 activity. And yes, obviously having a high post count doesn't mean one isn't coasting either.

Eh, it gets the ball rolling and gives us a point in Splinter's read of Saw so we get a better idea of his views evolved.

Scum can just town read townies, but it gives us something to study post flip because a straight forward town read of a scum mate is usually harder to make. I agree it's something to look at though if a person only makes town reads (I did that in Danny Phantom).

I'd normally have posted a bunch of town reads, but I don't really have any ATM. I liked Roy's tone when he argued for D1 lynch. Light, but it just seemed to come from a townie point of view. Same with Topo's aggression, seemed more willing to put the record straight than scum fighting a vote.

 

[Ty4on]

[...]It's easier when you're scum to throw it around, since you know you can't be wrong.

Generally agreeing with this, it's easy as scum to throw out a town read of town, but I don't think a single town read is really scummy. More if that's all and there's no doubt or real analysis behind them.

 

[Darryl]

I went back over some of their posts by requests and I had some thoughts on some of them.

I'm on Page 2 at the moment. Will get to Page 3 later.



Why draw attention to three players? Their levels of interaction are minimal at best.



It had its desired effect though, as Sawneeks immediately latches on.



And here is a non-committal backpedal. "Yeah maybe there's nothing there but here I am singling out some players so hopefully others run off with this and absolve me of any responsibility in drawing attention to them."

No, you're not getting away that easily.

VOTE: Unmasked Ferret



Yeah, what is up with that? Soft-claiming town isn't an excuse for spitballing and making non-constructive posts.

-nin knows that arguing for a no-lynch doesn't make him scummy so he might as well, right?
-CM decides he's going to sit back and wait for something to happen, but don't mind him, he's town

Come on.

Lone_Prodigy's most significant post. I like it a lot. There's a lot of paranoia in this comment, which is fair coming from a player who doesn't know the alignment of anyone. He calls out like 5 posters (6?). That's a lot to chew off.

I like Gorlak's vote on Roy, but it's not like he really drove the argument home. It's such a throwaway vote.

 

[Ty4on]

I have absolutely no thoughts on them. Like they haven't even registered on my brain and I haven't attributed any significant tells or posts to them yet. These kinds of questions are really bothersome to me because I'm highly skeptical of your ability to pull anything whatsoever out of that info, and it's distracting the time I could be trying to pull stuff from the game and process it. In general, I think everyone is scummy right now except you, who I think has a slight town lead. Very slight. Like a 1℅ over.

My main tool is looking at other people's reads and it's hard when they don't have any. I pointed out those two because they've been town read (indirectly) by a couple of people, but I don't really town read them.

Those questions aren't terribly useful and I fall in the habit of relying too much on them, but they (hopefully) get people motivated to study someone and I feel it's better than not saying anything.

Okay, I had to reread that part of the Day just to make sure I wasn't taking crazy pills and was missing something obvious.

What argument? Gorlak votes and then leaves without explaining anything.

And if it's a throwaway vote then why do you like it?

You're losing me here, Darryl.

 

[Ty4on]

I guess if I were forced to shoot/save L_P I'd argue he was town from this post. No jumping around the point and the last line about Flush flows well.

Finally, we have on one side Gorlak, with a short but substantial post (this is good), and Royal_Flush hammering the multi-quote button and just replying with short insignificant sentences (this is not good).

With Gorlak this part seems to show some thought behind it, but that might just be because I agree

snip
Darryl's argument against Ty4on can be copied 1:1 against Sophia. They have both argued the same way against nin, while Sophia was even more direct at confronting nin. I agree with Darryl that another "lynch/no lynch" discussion at the start of a game is tiresome and won't bring any benefits in the long run. But I'd go as far and say that this discussion is not alignment indicative whatsoever. I've seen dozens of town and scum players arguing for and against it. What I'm interested in is according to your logic, why did you choose Ty over Sophia?
snip

Hmm, guess I town read them after all...

The names within the stacks are not in any order. Otherwise it's from town to scum.

Town:
Gorlak
Lone_Prodigy
Roytheone
El Topo
Maybe melonrabbit, haven't had time to read her

Town I guess:
Sawneeks

Null:
The rest

Still keeping you here:

You're losing me here, Darryl.

Saying that he didn't drive the argument home is just a figure of speech. I'm saying he failed to argue for it.

I do like the vote, yea, it's out of no where and on someone that I think needed the attention. It's not yet being cast into the end of day, rando vote void, so it's not like throwing it onto him detracts from discussion. It just doesn't tell me much.

 

[Verelios]

Okay, thoughts and analysis time.

We've moved away from the whole Darryl/Ty4on/Sophia bit but I'm going to comment on it anyway because why not? When Darryl first brought up Ty4on's suspicious points I was kind of confused as Sophia showed similar reactions/posts and I didn't find either of them particularly telling. I couldn't quite believe they were acting scummy based on their initial interactions since they could easily brush them off as being game openers to set the mood or asking around. That's perfectly fine to me. On the other hand I also get what Darryl posted, I just don't agree it applies at this time, other than categorizing someone as town at this point in the game being a waste of time.

What I am curious about are the people either fanning the flames or trying to douse them out. But then, that doesn't say much when practically everyone gave their opinions. However-

Darrly pls

It's spreading.

I'll spell his name right when he stops ignoring me.

I think he can only focus on one player at a time. Are you sure you want that?

This exchange stood out to me. I only remembered it because I was posting at about this time, but something about how naturally fluffy this is rubs me the wrong way, even though it might also just be fluff instead of them interacting. Only want to ask Dusk Soldier why they jumped in at that point. I can understand Ty4on, and Splinter already posted his stance but Dusk's was weird to me.

I feel like you're trying to divert attention away from the fact that Sawneeks put a vote on you by throwing shade at me and hoping someone bites.

That's how I feel about your question.

 

[Verelios]

I feel like you're trying to divert attention away from the fact that Sawneeks put a vote on you by throwing shade at me and hoping someone bites.

That's how I feel about your question.

That's a fair assertion but still doesn't answer my question.

 

[Sawneeks]

Also, I do agree with you Darryl that Sophia and Splinter's ( and I guess by extension also Ty ) sudden Town read, or defense, is really strange.

Sophia's feels...how do I put this...more in line with her train of thought? Like she didn't just suddenly go 'I think Saw is Town!' and instead explained herself a bit and gave examples. Though that is the complete opposite of Splinter and his feels completely out of left field. It was unprompted and sticks out.

Same goes for Ty's weird defense, although that looked more like a questioning of Darryl rather than an a subtle defense of me. Still weird, though.

Saying that he didn't drive the argument home is just a figure of speech. I'm saying he failed to argue for it.

Fair enough, I took it you meant that literally.

Have I ever told you that you are very odd, Darryl?

'I'm not looking at other people right now. No other reads on anyone. Tunnel vision is a GO'

'I did notice some things here and there but decided against bring it up because i'm busy and don't want to waste time. why question multiple people when i can just question one?'

'wow, your no-context, out-of-nowhere, middle-of-the-day-phase vote sure tells me nothing. i like it!'

I'm paraphrasing here but a lot of your actions so far have left me scratching my head. Your arguments with Ty, while narrow in their tunnel-like view, were at the very least well thought out and the questions you put forward read more like someone trying to get to the heart of a problem rather than simply discussing it for discussions sake. Yet your actions surrounding that are incredibly odd. Tunneling Townie? Maybe. Tunneling Scum? Also a maybe. You're a very strong '?????' in my mind, I don't know what to make of you yet.

And I thought having Blarg in this game would make it weird.

Speaking of which, where is he? He's been awfully quiet this Day 1.

Also, prod vote on Bronx-Man, because I'd like to hear more from him and the only two posts by him are not confidence inspiring.

Vote: Bronx-Man
.

Any other reason you picked Bronx-Man over the others? You did mention you wished you could multi-vote so I'm wondering why him over, say, CM or Salva.

 

[Dusk Soldier]

That's a fair assertion but still doesn't answer my question.

There's no deep reason behind it Verelios, I just happened to be on at that time.

[Fireblend]

I'm finally home. I've been mostly keeping up, but here's what I've seen and you guys are welcome to direct me to anything I've missed; last night my last post was around page 4 when I was questioning Sawneeks and Ferret for the triangle thing. Sawneeks' elaborate response definitely seemed odd to me, like he was either making too much of an effort or trying to impress with a quote avalanche. Ferret's response was a bit more grounded, but I usually suspect people who agree with me

The rest of page 4 and some of 5 was Blarg weirdness. I actually made a post here to answer some quotes and put a vote on Sophia partly because I wanted to have a vote somewhere and because I wasn't planning on removing my vote for a while and wanted to see if she'd react to that but it seems she just decided to ignore it ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Some more ty-darryl banter, nin coming in with some reads that I thought were a bit odd - specially regarding Christina, who's barely posted so far. Sophia did concur so maybe I'm just missing something?

Then some Topo-L_P stuff which Sophia jumps in the middle of, and page 7 and 8 were pretty uneventful, or at least mostly continuing with the already established trains of thought. Did I miss anything?

Anyway, so far I'm not feeling anyone too strongly towards any direction. I feel like the activity levels are so split right now that reads are going to be skewed and it doesn't look like that's going to improve. I'm watching Sophia's moves, but like Darryl, I find it difficult to read her. Other than that Sawneeks and Ferret remain on my sights, though they're more on the "raised eyebrows" status. During my last games I feel like I've been too quick to decide on a target and tunnel them, but my track record indicates I need to make some adjustments to that, so I'm trying to be a bit more thoughtful this time around

For now I'd definitely like to see more from the inactives, speaking of...

Vote: Hyperactivity

Any thoughts on the game so far? You made a "recap" post for the first three full-of-fluff pages and that was that. You yourself seemed to expect this thread to be full of activity, but have yet to say more; are you watching us from the shadows for some reason?

I'm getting ready for a trip in a few hours so I won't be available for a while.

I did notice your vote on me, however.

Darryl back to new avatar
Roy supports better owl
Blarg came in, does flavor non important blarg stuff, leaves
Nin against lynch, seems that Aaqo have more fun/energy idk though, haven't read over time too much, going more off someone else's post here tbh
Darryl called out ty4on, good decent post but o don't think I even remember what ty4ons post was is where it is, so u gave no clue if it's any decent
Salva posted and I need to be more on top of this thread to make sure I can make things really confusing with him and I back to back
Dusk soldier likes triples
Fireblend tried a vgc trick room team, will kill he winners. I think he talked about set vs shift, btw, it has to be set because otherwise game is disgustingly unfair for AI

I like Gorlak's vote on Roy (the idea of voting for Roy is something that I support at a glance), but it's not like he really drove the argument home (however, Gorlak actually had no commitment behind that gesture whatsoever). It's such a throwaway vote. (his vote having no commitment gives it no purpose)

It's a concise player reading meant to show that although me and him are looking at the same people, I do not agree with his approach.

 

[Unmasked Ferret]

Sorry for not posting much earlier today, I haven't felt great since waking up and staring at screens doesn't help. I'm going back over stuff now.

Sorry about that, I meant whichever way the flip went we would learn something new, whether the person was a good pokemon or relatively freedom fighter Pokemon, trainer or Team Rocket.

Of course hitting town hurts in the long run, but first day has always seemed to me to be a gamble. I'm not averse to a day 1 lynch, I just wouldn't be put out by a no lynch.

I meant to ask before but forgot but what does the bolded mean btw? Is it a reference I'm not getting?

 

[Sawneeks]

Re: Ty

Didn't end up having as many questions as I thought I did. My only one so far would be in regards to this:

A Sophia-Darryl team is just too obvious.

I wanna speak with you tomorrow, Darryl. I didn't see anything solvey in your last post. I know your style is going hard on people, but your argument was so diluted in that long post. There's no analysis of what I wrote, just a big slab of justification for why what I wrote was scummy.

I know you currently read Sophia > Darryl and I'm curious as to why. You've stated over and over that you can't see Town!Darryl making the posts he has and yet you place Sophia above ( or below??? your list was weird and upside-down ) on your Scum list.

Frankly I agree, although mine are based mostly on a gut feeling for Sophia. I'm just trying to get your train of thought in regards as to why it's Sophia > Darryl. Examples would be wonderful as well.

There's no deep reason behind it Verelios, I just happened to be on at that time.

Ah, hello Dusk. How are you this evening?

You've been a little quiet lately, what are your thoughts so far?

I hate to break it to you, dear, but regardless of alignment I treat votes like Comcast treats FCC fine violations.

 

[Christina Mackenzie]

Joining Nin we have CM and Bronx man on the "OMG YOU SUSPECT ME WHY DON'T YOU VOTE FOR ME OR I GUESS I'M SCUM" shtick

Lumping all 3 of us together purely on our responses is tenuous at best. Honestly my reply was far less derisive than either of them and I did reply to your question.

If you have any other questions, I'm ready to answer them.

 

[StanleyPalmtree]

ahh, timezones are fun.

some general thoughts on you crazy kids' antics.

People keept saying Darryl/Sophia/Ty4on like it means something.
I dont think it means something.

El Topo responds to a slight criticism with "HEY F*CK YOU!!!"
he was overly aggressive, illogical, and a bit childish.
naturally i can only read this as town, and if it is scum play then its some pretty killer reverse psychology.

Sophia's usually more neutral and inquisitive play has given way to a far more overbearing scum-hunter aficionado.
not sure if i like this, as it seems to overexert itslef on almost evey topic it touches

also, in the pursuit of complete honesty, i pretty much stopped reading the discussion between Ty4on and Darryl.

So you won't take a hard stance on any of those three yet you are more than willing to go after folks who are either 'trying to snuff it out' or 'fan the flames'. So....almost everyone who is commenting on it except for those who are staying completely out of it? That's a pretty large group. Anybody in particular who is trying to either 'snuff it out/fan the flames' that gathers your attention?

hrm

And I frankly agree with Dusk, that last part feels like you're reaching here. Although considering Dusk has not contributed much either I'm not feeling alright with either of you. :/

That actually explains it much better, thank you.

I initially read that as something more positive than what it actually was, in this case a snide remark towards Gorlak. I thought you were giving Gorlak a positive read for a no-context vote and that's why I was confused. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

That's pretty much what I said though? That's the recap I was referring to, which might as well have been fluff.

Yeah, I kind of realized it after I posted, sorry. I went digging to see what I could find about Hyper be it from him or from others. There was a whole lot of nothing. :\

Question.

If we put you and Salva in the same room would you both eventually read the thread and

idk

want to play the game?

just asking

well im sorry that my efforts to catch up and contribute dont meet your standards.

also it was an actual question, did i actually miss anything important or was it just the mental sparring i initially thought it to be?

if you say it was important i will go back and read it.

 

[Blargonaut]

wait, did i die?

did you?

blarg do you want to hug me? if you do thats totally okay.
im here for you

STOP READING MY MAIL, STAN

UGH

 

[Sophia]

Lumping all 3 of us together purely on our responses is tenuous at best. Honestly my reply was far less derisive than either of them and I did reply to your question.

If you have any other questions, I'm ready to answer them.

I think your vote is still on Stanley. How do you feel about him now?

 

[Blargonaut]

IMO we should lynch anyone who made a D1 reads list

based on what, right?

exactly

Finally have a chance to sit down and type! (Long workday yesterday, followed by d&d night, followed by closest thing I've ever felt to a migraine, followed by another long workday...)

Just wanna make a promise that tomorrow evening/night I should have some free time to finally sit down and hopefully participate in any conversations going on at the time (Live!)

Everybody look at me!

HEY HEY

Now stop.

HAMMER TIME.

OWOWOWOWOWOWWOWWWWWW

Is this a breadcrumb for Medicham and his hammer pants?

 

[Blargonaut]

Who wants to fight me for suspect cred

I mean I can list the merits of why reading the interactions between two people is important in a game built around discussion but I don't see why I need to.

im going to take this as a solid maybe

 

[Blargonaut]

no one?

I blame Gen 6.5

The real question is, are those pants, or are those part of Medicham

do it for Townie points

 

[Sophia]

Hmm... call this a gut observation

But for those of you who have played with Sawneeks before, does she seem more... aggressive?

It's bothering me, and I can't put my finger on it.

 

[Blargonaut]

It's more likely a reference to some kind of 'Hammer vote'-related power (the final vote to lynch a player)

may be Psychic

maybe not

His avatar still makes me uneasy. He and Blargonaut are like an old married couple. I'm still keeping my vote on him for now.

Interestingly you're both leading the post count and votes. I've never played a game with together with you so your activity is surprising. Are you worried you might get voted out today? My read is the others aren't quite sure what to make of you.

I guess it was because he hammered in last game and lost it for town.

I don't see it. May just be a conscious decision to change her play style?

What I'm interested in seeing is how you respond when you're under pressure.
