this read isn't game specific, it's just a general comment on nanook as a mafia player.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 2:56 am kinda think that nanook is scum but also kinda think he's not gonna get chopped until the endgame for some reason
mm, i think the comment that most closely reflects that mindset is him joking about being mischop bait - it's the type of joke that usually does require a certain level of comfort to be able to pull off, and i get your point about that level of comfort not meshing with what his mindset would probably be as scum (ie: nervous). i think the other posts you brought up are mostly NAI, but i'll think it overEsooa wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 2:56 amI think his posts come across as genuinely believing he is towny, which if he's scum he would not genuinely believestaypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 2:55 am @esooa - thanks for explaining the townlean on rej. i'm not sure that i share the same perspective about those specific posts being town-indicative for him - i've noticed that scum tend to try to offset their nervousness in the early game by making a lot of jokes or being overly flippant. joking about being "super towny" to deflect a scumread isn't behavior that screams: "this person is not nervous", imo. but i appreciate the perspective and i agree that his tone doesnt feel overblown

Did you have more than zero reason to scumread him at the time of this post?

not being obtuse, but i dont understand the questionSloonei wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 3:23 amDid you have more than zero reason to scumread him at the time of this post?
You were asked a neutral question about a player no one was talking about at the time, and your response was skewed negative (zero reason to townread) rather than maintaining neutrality ("no read") or skewed positive ("zero reason to scumread").staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 3:28 amnot being obtuse, but i dont understand the questionSloonei wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 3:23 amDid you have more than zero reason to scumread him at the time of this post?

not sure about the last two but definitely the first
though if the 2nd one is Enclave and the fourth one is NCR then I am at a loss for words
wait this makes no sense
oh, i answered that question in that specific way because foresight had chopchop as the third name on his list of townreads. that was my way of expressing disagreement. my actual stance on him is that i don't knowSloonei wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 3:31 amYou were asked a neutral question about a player no one was talking about at the time, and your response was skewed negative (zero reason to townread) rather than maintaining neutrality ("no read") or skewed positive ("zero reason to scumread").staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 3:28 amnot being obtuse, but i dont understand the questionSloonei wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 3:23 amDid you have more than zero reason to scumread him at the time of this post?
Why?

Why?
Alison implied a negative read on TSP. You supported and softly bolstered it. You have made no further mention of TSP until directly prompted now, where you say he is "acceptable."
im not worried about the gamestate because if the active voices are like sloon, you, esooa, me, none of these are players that are weak to just letting slankers slip by. low posting people like rej have already copped heat.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 2:14 am1. if you're town, then i want you to townread me in the next 24 hours. i can't snap my fingers and make it happen, but that's my wish. this is partially for selfish reasons and partially because i feel like it'll be good for the threadstate if we can work together. having as many people to bounce my reads off of as possible is really important to me in a game like thisSloonei wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 2:04 ami am tired and still not up to speed, sorry.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 2:01 am anyone online and wanna discuss anything specific w/me?
what's your take on the game state so far? how are we doing? what would you like to see happen over the last ~24 hours of day 1?
2.the gamestate is fine. i'm concerned about the fact that we've been hearing from the same ~10 voices or so, when this is a 20+ player game. i feel like there are a number of people who have been able to weasel out of explaining their reads by just outright ditching the thread for long periods of times, and that makes productive dialogue a lot more difficult than it would be if we had more centralized communication. i don't really feel like any valuable towncores are forming today and i also don't feel that people who ~are~ universal townreads have any real sense of cohesion - feels like everyone is just kind of blindly stumbling around shouting their own suspicions right now
so uh....maybe the threadstate isn't as good as i thought, lmao, but most of this is probably par for the course for d1 of a game of this size. the best thing that could happen in the next 24 hours is if the players who have been largely silent today came back with strong and well-substantiated thoughts, but i don't think that's going to happen
I also think she is not scum

You know how some people just spontaneously become extremely town to the point where you have no choice but to lock them town
I'm not seeing the genuineness in the post of rej's that was quoted. Seems pretty par for the course for rej, and in line with the stuff he had in SI where he was mafia.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 3:00 ammm, i think the comment that most closely reflects that mindset is him joking about being mischop bait - it's the type of joke that usually does require a certain level of comfort to be able to pull off, and i get your point about that level of comfort not meshing with what his mindset would probably be as scum (ie: nervous). i think the other posts you brought up are mostly NAI, but i'll think it overEsooa wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 2:56 amI think his posts come across as genuinely believing he is towny, which if he's scum he would not genuinely believestaypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 2:55 am @esooa - thanks for explaining the townlean on rej. i'm not sure that i share the same perspective about those specific posts being town-indicative for him - i've noticed that scum tend to try to offset their nervousness in the early game by making a lot of jokes or being overly flippant. joking about being "super towny" to deflect a scumread isn't behavior that screams: "this person is not nervous", imo. but i appreciate the perspective and i agree that his tone doesnt feel overblown
This is the second time that Alison has reached into my brain and put my words into the thread as her own.Alison wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 3:50 am The more Mac stays away from the thread and the more he throws out surface level hot takes like "alison + sloonei wolf" with no follow up or bite to them the more my scumread on him is strengthened. Town Mac is a force of nature and I struggle to believe that if he had those reads genuinely he would be content to sit back and let us control the thread. This feels more like scum Mac trying to surface level replicate his typical town aggressiveness. I endorse sloonei's vote there in spirit but am not moving because I think BK is the most certain hit.
