Is pixxy post restricted or role playing?

Hai to both, probably.

He’s in too deep, and now he must either climb above the crowd or go with the traffic

Who are we voting, @Scotty @nutella @jess

yareyare

It’s tough to watch the world go by light after light and not get to know the crowds

I confess there is no discernible reason to town read pyxxy- Nutella has given one of the only compelling reasons which was ‘he’s at least roleplaying’ which if I’m honest with myself makes me trust him less, as I equate that with greedy power grabs (I myself am actively prize hunting, I admit. Call the street black if you wish)

Trekkie is walking with a cane and glasses into the intersection, but I’m not so sure he needs either. That bothers me. His ‘So there’s only one mafia team??’ rings as TMI.

I think Tess doesn’t have the same level of town equity as any of the other top posters do, and here I am voting for trekkie with her. If I had to guess a 3P, it would be her. But she also has definite mafia equity, especially if pyxxy flips wolf. Because she has patently avoided that wagon.

Epi could go either way across the street- he seems to have a strong confidence when he crosses, which is nice, but not Alignment indicative.

Dubz has contributions and thread presence that i dont innately find scummy. Town lean there atm.

Porscha is light scum just for posting but not really showing any initiative. I link that with bad porscha.

Rondo I can never read and..,also feel like he’s just kinda here. And calling me ‘scary’ in Japanese, which… there’s a reason I PIYO PIYO. That’s the AO sign. Townlean for now, I guess on vibes.

Those are my thoughts right now.
Pyxxy could get run over
If wolf, Jess could get run over
Trekkie could get run over
Porscha could get run over

Man, that makes it sound like I want bloodshed on my street. And maybe I do

OK PLAYTIMES OVER ITS BEEN 40 SECONDS GET OFF

I don't think he is towny and I disagree with duelist that the fact that he townreaded scum makes him town

I don't think that's how you read trekkie, I think he can adapt and I don't think he is a player who doesn't townread his partners ever or whatever it is

he has shown some glimpses of fluidity but he can do it as scum

I don't really feel him this game, its almost as if trekkie isn't even playing

I mean I kinda disagree—it’s the sort of thing that could embolden the take if DM had TMI.

Good morning all. If you’re not voting by now you probably should. I agree pyxxy is kinda a lame vote. I’m not opposed to clearing the slot today but it feels like there could be more illuminating flips available.

At some point I’ll catch up with what I missed overnight probably, but that point is not right now

Konichiwa dubz (idk why I both anymore)

can you expound on the scum read on LC? You really think they’re the most sus in your entire catch up?

I feel like most of the thread has coalesced around a pretty tight POE. Who in that pool of eels is most likely to just be town but had a bad day?

Who on Nicole’s wagon was the most likely bussing slot?

Bottom two questions can be for anyone

Yahō!

The most sus? Idk about that, I'd say those 4 are on roughly equal ground for me. It interested me though. Felt like LC was stretchy in the discussion with DM. And I didn't see they'd gotten much attention (in the limited pages I've read).

If the thread has a consensus POE I'm woefully unaware of it so you'll have to be more specific on who you're asking about!

I'd expect if Nicole was bussed it would be Wilgy or later but I just kinda doubt it happened (but maybe that's what they want me to think)

Maybe it's not consensus and just my own brain, but while the people you chose as your POE haven't done anything to distinguish themselves as towny, it's interesting to me that the venn diagram between the POE that I posted last night (epig/trek/Rondo (and Michelle, but obv that 's no more)) and yours is nonexistent. So I guess wrt the people I'm looking at, who is most towny to you and why?

I would guess that is because they weren't posting in the timeframe I was reading (from when the Nicole wagon restarted until EOD), and Nicole didn't mention them specifically in her posts.

I have no thoughts on those 3, gomen. I'm about to skim through overall mentions of Nicole for more interactions so we'll see if I find anything there.

Any resemblance to kaiju living or radioactive is purely coincidental.

idk dubz, Epig was among the more active players overnight as the Nicole wagon was building up and even had significant banter with Wilgy. Rondo was also posting though less.

I have a hard time believing you don't have any impression of Epig if Nicole wagon-->EOD is where you were focusing your catchup.

Truly just must not have stood out to me when I was reading, I commented on the things that did. I can look closer tomorrow and give my thoughts on that slot. That and the other stuff I meant to do today that I didn't get around to. Nemui.

I’ll give you a little more space to work through this. But I’d be more interested in your POE if you can tell me why they’re better targets than the ones in my POE and players with votes on them like pyxxy

You don't have to be interested in my POE...it's day 2 in a relatively large game. The overall pool should still be fairly wide. I'm not asking you to vote with me over your own suspects.

Kuso I forgot my Japanese word

Well, but I am interested in your POE, because you're in mine

You're correct of course that the pool can be wide, but it feels like you're just cherry picking to talk about a relatively narrow set of players and ignoring others. And specifically, Epig was the wagon that the flipped wolf did NOT vote for, so I'm just surprised that so many players have absolutely no read there.

I am cherry picking based on what I have actually read and what I feel is the best use of my limited time (interaction reads).

I sure am ignoring players that I don't have strong feelings about in this moment, that is not unusual for me.

I don't see nicole deciding not to vote for epig as all that meaningful, if that's what your vote is based on

@GoSpursGo I read Epig's iso and I'm still not sure why you're so triggered about that slot tbh. Seems mostly interested in role playing in the beginning, which is fine. Gave some thoughts post-nicole flip that I didn't find too alarming.

Idk epig's meta but reading through I just kinda shrug. It's a fine slot to pressure (though he did say he'd be absent Sat/Sun so maybe not the best to pressure yesterday) but I'm not seeing the level of concern you are.

Possible, I don't think probable based on my feelings about some of leetic's posts at EOD.

But that's why I asked for others to assess whether nicole was likely to drop a vote on a packmate that's gotten a lot of attention before leaving for the day, for distancing purposes. It seemed like a reasonable move to me given they'd both been on the board, but I don't know her bussing meta.

(It's possible this question was answered and I missed it)
