Escape From Russia [GAME OVER]

[dunya]

lmao. linki for person of the year of TS

[dunya]

can everyone like S t o p posting so i can catch up and once i catch up can we all resume posting?

[Michelle]

Here’s where I am now:

Town:

112 - coming in with strong, believable cases on two widely townread players, able to answer follow up questions with sharp reasoning that shows real thought and solving intent? Yeah, this is a townie and I don’t even feel nervous saying so.

Poison - Slightly weird read here, but I’m getting a sense that they’re not super confident in their game. Things like saying “Don’t ask me how good my reads are I’d be too embarrassed to answer” or being impressed and thinking I’m more experienced than them based on me... making a an early readlist. For someone like that to be posting so freely and effortlessly and engaging with other people’s reads and (nicely) poking holes in them doesn’t fit with what I’d expect from their scum game.

Vulgard - I’m musing over 112’s case here, wondering if there’s something to it. I don’t think so. Vulgard accuses me of being too meticulous and crafting my posts too well. I don’t think wolf him wants to accuse me of exactly what he’s doing. I think he’s just what he seems - a careful, structured, townie.

Hally - I’m probably not going to ever stop tinfoiling her in the back of my mind but at a certain point you have to take yes for an answer. Sometimes the super-towny player is just town. Maybe she’s a wolf but if she is I ain’t catching her day zero. I can always be wrong, but I’m at the point of acknowledging that if Hally is a wolf I am wrong because I think she’s town.

Ted - I don’t think he’s paired with tutuu, and the way he’s been doggedly pushing his mini-tunnel on me feels like townie-wrong not wolfy-malicious. Not ultra confident here but he gets a townread.

Null:

The non posters, Arete.

Wolves:

Michelle - I perceive Michelle as a pretty easy “level of ferocity” read. Haven’t seen it yet. So far this is champs finale Michelle to me. If town Michelle shows up and starts making her presence known I feel like I’ll find her.

Tutuu - was already ringing five different alarm bells in my head when they decided to go and blatantly flip their read on me for... I don’t think they ever actually stated a reason. This is just a wolf. “But the things they say don’t make sense” is not a good reason to townread them.

Nanook - just vague feelings of unease and distrust, I don’t think he’s posted since my last readlist so I won’t bother reiterating.

That’s 14 people and I spent way too long trying to figure out who I missed before I realised it was me. It’s 4:45 am and I need to sleep.

Too many words for a wrong conclusion about me

it’s not really a wrong conclusion. he conclusion is that he will find you once you get in the game if you’re town, and i think it’s fair to say you haven’t really gotten into the game yet

how caught up are you michelle?

I am not caught up, i don't even try tonight.

[112]

iamgine being that guy whos like

"oh boy, i sure am glad LINKI is a thing on the syndicate. i just LOVE IT when im about to post, my post gets INTERRUPTED by the PRECEDING post. Golly gee wilikers, i sure am glad my POST got STOPPED, this sure is a HANDY feature and i just LOVE linki"

I like it when I'm wolfing; it's helped me when I've submitted posts that I then had second thoughts on before.

uses a semicolon in a 1 sentence post???????? so overthinking it. wolf-lean.

also, scumlean dunya for this. forced joke imo.

[dunya]

just realized eods are gonna be 3-3.30am my time (4-4.30am for michelle wow) and that's just super shit.

[112]

I retract. Michelle town.

[Ash Lael]

can everyone like S t o p posting so i can catch up and once i catch up can we all resume posting?

Yeah do that so I can sleep like a sensible person instead of checking my phone constantly for *just one more post*...

[dunya]

also, scumlean dunya for this. forced joke imo.

uhhhh sorry to burst your bubble, but totally not joking. i have caught scum by them being overly formal in the past and i will keep doing it.

[112]

uhhhh sorry to burst your bubble, but totally not joking. i have caught scum by them being overly formal in the past and i will keep doing it.

I use semicolons religiously. It's NAI for me.

[dunya]

I had the game solved in a Microsoft Word page but I lost the document because I was writing on phone and I got caught by our teacher and I quit without saving the doc

Bad luck

Ted, tell me why should I even try to trust you?

i was gonna say him incorrectly saying im scummy is a good start for him and he might be towny cuz of it, but then i paused and i went like. hmmm.

hmm poison chan

hmmm

I said it because it'd be funny if you were scum after you tried to con G-man into giving me a wolf rand

i would've been like "karma, b i i i i "

[tutuu]

also, scumlean dunya for this. forced joke imo.

uhhhh sorry to burst your bubble, but totally not joking. i have caught scum by them being overly formal in the past and i will keep doing it.

would have been funny if u had used one here too

I am formal often, is because i learned english by reading. Is this a problem for you?

Looks like i have to explain to you too that i am changing playstyle dramatically

hmmm, too defensive.

[Hally]

I retract. Michelle town.

why?

[dunya]

no michelle, i've played with you before and know your style. also i do pay attention to natives vs non-natives in how they express themselves

language used gives us a lot of context clues imo

[112]

I don't know what to think of Ash. On the surface I think he's very towny, but I don't like how he gave me such an easy town lock. It feels like a TMI read.

[tutuu]

im not immediately finding dunya town which saddnends me, townreading her was one of the highlights of this game that i was looking forward to

reasons for why could i not be townreading her but she could still be town:

1) its been a while since we played. a few months. maybe im not remembering stuff properly
2) she could be tired cuz its late and maybe she had a long day at work
3) im biased cuz i already have so much townreads and im hesitant to make more. but i dont think thats true. but it could be

I'm reading dunya's posts with a magnifying glass. I think there could be something there.

im not in a good mood, tbh so i'll come back again later and try again

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

On principle, I scumread Hally, ted and tutuu already, because they all claimed mafia and I don’t like that.

I didn't claim anything.

Your existence in a game is a scum claim tbh

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

You did answer them didn’t you

Sorry it’s 5am and I’ve been awake most of the time since 9am so my memory isn’t amazing rn

I, as a sleep worshipper, feel offended. You should get at least 7-8 hours of sleep. At least.

I have a kid and insomnia. Seems unlikely!

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Also you’re British yeah? Or do I just have that in my head cause of your avatar

Your avatar makes me imagine you as a blonde mermaid. I really don't know why blonde specifically but yeah.

I can dig it

now thats a towny come-back-to-thread post if ive ever seen one

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Jesus Christ I have four already

Quick someone make a joke and/or ask me a serious question I can deflect from with an annoying and/or obnoxious retort

I wonder what "four" is in the context



Try hard Joke 1 :

Oh nvm I can't make jokes would borrow one from the Internet later.

Four townreads

It was Hally/arete/tutu/Michelle IIRC

do you remember why for arete?

Honestly no not really. Something about their entrance seemed townie to me. For joke reasons it was the meme, for real reasons I’d have to go back and look again

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Sup

towniest of town. channeling my inner mac. am i doing it right?

Dunya lock town

[Michelle]

no michelle, i've played with you before and know your style. also i do pay attention to natives vs non-natives in how they express themselves

language used gives us a lot of context clues imo

Help me remember how many games we played please

[Michelle]

im not in a good mood, tbh so i'll come back again later and try again

I like this

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

112 and Michelle have not done enough for me to have a read on them.

I have a theory that Ash could be mafia. There's something about his play I just don't like, and it keeps on nagging at me. He seems a little too... agreeable, if that makes sense. His NANOOK scumread surprised me, because Ash had never pushed NANOOK prior to making that read, and he has not pushed NANOOK since then, as far as I can tell. It is not mafia indicative, but it is something I am keeping in mind.

I'm currently conflicted on tutuu. On the one hand, I think my reasons for suspecting her are solid. On the other hand, she is still continuing a very bizarre play pattern I scumread her for (and I was not the only one!), she has not changed her play whatsoever to appeal to me, nor has she done anything beyond what I've already said that came across as scummy to me. I'm starting to wonder if I'm scumreading her personality instead of her actual play.

Hally's re-entrance into the thread did not ping me either way. The fact I'm called obvious town by Hally seems... weirdly dismissive, just like the way I felt when tutuu responded to me in that one post.

First time I’ve been accused of being too agreeable, lol.

I’m trying to avoid getting myself too dug in on any one read or any one player too early this game, when we still have half a dozen players who haven’t posted and another couple who haven’t done anything very significant.

You might not have noticed but I actually started scumreading Nanook very early. He pre-announced that he was going to be using a different play style in a way that looked like asking for permission. Like I’m playing less aggressive than I normally do, but I didn’t feel the need to warn everybody about it.

Why would you feel the need to let anyone know, who the fuck would know the difference here

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

im not in a good mood, tbh so i'll come back again later and try again

It’s ok I’ve already lock towned you, I’ll shield you till you’re in a good mood and feel like playing

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

You guys talk about me a lot my ears must be on fire

[tedxtr]

The only thing I have on Ash is the fact that he seemed to be going nowhere with the nanook read and was not trying to progress at all in any meaningful way

From spec chat he looked like he was on a constant lookout for info and generally more interested in solving but his posts feel limp here

I chalked it off as it not being D1 and him not throwing votes around, maybe that thing affects how he goes into a game, but after the nanook post he’s been pretty underwhelming

[Hally]

[tedxtr]

Also didn’t like his Vulgard read

[112]

Well I'm stumped.

[tutuu]

lol some young ppl just argued in front of my apartment building (im on the first floor)

guy says "stop pushing me"
girl says something unintelligable
"who is she to spit on me. do u love me?"
blah blah blah
"stop pushing me. stop pushing me. i told my best friend to shut up. what did u say? who is she to spit on me"
"ill show u who i am. and who are u?"
"ill show u who i am"

rofl. idk i find it pretty hilarious. even tho i feel like i missed out on stuff like that as a teenager ... at least i wasnt in a lot of embarassing situations. like this one. rofl @ those teens / young adults

[Hally]

Also didn’t like his Vulgard read

why not?

[Hally]

Well I'm stumped.

I can't solve the game right now.

Hally - I’m probably not going to ever stop tinfoiling her in the back of my mind but at a certain point you have to take yes for an answer. Sometimes the super-towny player is just town.

I will when there are ISO links

[Hally]

out of my town leans, i feel better about ted and poison than ash and michelle. i have things i think are towny for ash/mich but i still feel kinda underwhelmed by them in totality, whereas poison and ted are trending up imo
