what out of that post suggested that he did that?

Here's where I'm at right now:

I think Marge is town. I think Burns is town. Grampa's recent posts have made me doubt my scumread on him a bit. I feel like the thread is descending into an orgy of people nitpicking stuff about each other's posts and/or getting super defensive and lashing out when their own posts gets nitpicked. I think there's a decent number of people active lurking, eating popcorn, and watching the town tear each other into shreds.

I am currently more in favor of putting pressure on inactive people to contribute. I do not agree with Burns that Milhouse coming in to post some random read salad without any explanations or serious pushes is a townie entrance. I'm am concerned that Skinner and Hugh are still AWOL. I am also concerned that Ned Flanders has had three posts the entire day, scumread Burns early on, and then dropped a vote on him without any announcement, after Marge pushed Burns. (If you check the poll you will see that Flanders voted Burns after Marge and Homer voted, even though his suspicion on Burns purportedly came long before.) I do not know what Flanders' progression on the game is or why he is drive by voting Burns at a very convenient timing without saying anything.

So those four are my POE. I trust Otto, Marge, Burns, Grumple and Krusty. I am willing to accept Marge + Homer's testimony that they know who Bart is and that his behavior this game strongly indicates that he is town. I started off with an early Lisa townread, but she has since fallen off. So my 5 townreads + tentatively Bart is my townpool for today. Everyone else who isn't directly in the POE or in my townpool is somewhere in the middle.

was at first confused with the attention on Flanders but I clicked their ISO in the OP and they've made a grand total of three posts which was just calling three people wolves for no reason early game

okay yeah that's not really great

Are you implying they're W/W? A bad read may be just that...why do you seem eager to put a player in a scum pile simply cuz' you feel their reads are bad? Also, how do you know their reads are bad? You may not agree with it, but at this stage you shouldn't have any real idea of what a good or bad read is

I haven't called or suggested that Marge is a woof

I say anti-town play is bad

someone goes "anti-town play is good, actually"

third person comes in and says "who are we to decide what is a good or bad read, really" (total nonsense and gives "anti-town play is good" a run for its money)

You're mischaracterizing what I said. Without any flips, how do you know what's a good read or bad read with no info to go on?

I don't understand the argument you're making if it isn't "all reads are equal until proven otherwise." And I'm going to really struggle to accept that position because it completely neuters you outside of mech clears.

Do you disagree that refusing to participate is anti-town?

Refusing to participate is anti-town. I'm just not sure how you know whether or not a player's reads are good or bad at this point

I am thinking of it more as a "better than nothing" entrance rather than actually "towny."

I agree with your read on the game state.

Find myself agreeing with Allison and Burns for the most part. I like the Grumple and Krusty, Grandpa seems pretty ok too.
Feeling less sure on Comic dude, but still on the town lean side.
Pretty null on a bunch in there.

Skinner, Flanders, Milhouse take up the bottom three spots with my preference being Skinner Flanders wagons.

Milhouse calling Skinner and Flanders scum is interesting to me and I get it's highly unlikely he's wolf bros with them, but his entrance, lack of content and scum list without due exploration is troubling.

Homer Simpson wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 5:51 am I kinda think I know who Bart is too and agree they’re probably town

Man now we are full on in the meta...

"look, we mind melded, must both be town"

...and you don't even know what you "mind melded" about or who you "mindmelded" with.

Hilarious.

It’s relatively obvious

I don’t think I’ve played anti town. I’m just playing at my own pace. Deal with it.

Twenty posts in and I like Krusty so far. I think he has a clear misunderstanding with Grandpa that is probably really easy to point out...for anyone other than the two of them...and that everything else he has said (except some obligatory empty jokes) was pretty solid town mindset.

In the Grandpa/Marge/Krusty triangle the only thing that doesn't seem to make sense from town is exactly what Grandpa pointed out...

I think it's okay to say Homer is marching to his own drum and ignoring pressure and that is kinda towny...but to say that a single entry gif, and when called out for that single entry gif twenty four hours later responding with a couple more gifs and a piss off is USEFUL SOLVING is absurd.

Grampa and Krusty seem lost in the semantics, but Marge shielding Homer based on NOTHING is the real mystery.

Marge and I are bonded in the knowledge that she probably could do better but I’m mostly good enough. And really isn’t mostly adequate what we should all be aiming for?

If you have a better idea I'll listen. If we have a bad posting slanker that has under ten posts, what do we do with them? How are you expecting them to get worked clear if they live?

by the way, I recommend that when you want to highlight a part of a post you are quoting, colour that passage instead of bolding it

let them get subbed

Excellent!

I did already mention that about the actual no posters...one of which has since posted. But I wouldn't expect the host to have a fleet of subs on standby so that every low poster can just be subbed out for a fresh start. I don't remember there being a hard minimum, so I would think that "I made three posts and they were (maybe just bald without reasons) suspicions and I did vote" would be a slot that won't get subbed. So here we are. On the other hand we have I think seven or eight posts in the shitposting phase that ended with "okay, now I'm serious" and a bald vote and a disappearance. I don't see that getting subbed. So here we are.

How far can we carry those slots and hope they get more productive?

I mean, I don't like chopping the unproductive slot day one...and if someone wants to sprout big teeth and a bushy tail and hop in my lap I'll be happy to chop them instead...but unless someone does I have to eliminate the people who I think will be least likely to ever clear themselves and hope the productive people can be sorted out in time.

This progression is kinda wolfy a lot more than it is townie, I think.

The fact that Burns replied that way to Otto as if he was town and then considering the possibility of them being scum can be TMI-y. I think the reaction isn't coming from a town perspective.

I will object in squirrels' name for what Mr. Burns said in post 99

Allison Taylor wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 7:31 am Re: Bart's push on me. No, I'm not twisting your words. I interpreted them in the most commonsensical way. Others have said the same thing, that they found the discrepancy odd. I think you are going out of your way to try to find nits to pick at the point where you say that you found me waiting for Skinner townie but suspect that Skinner is my scumbuddy. Do you scumread Skinner? Why would you jump to that conclusion?

Marge: I don't think Lisa's read is TMI any more than any early game read is TMI. I thought the squabbling between the two of them based on getting/not getting a joke was pretty silly, and the stubborn/indignant way they pursued the convo was a good look. (Town are more likely to get stuck on something small and inconsequential early, scum tend to want to appease people and go along with the flow.) Lisa coming in and (successfully) breaking up the argument while calling both of them town matched my sentiments on the topic, and she could have easily let the argument spiral if she was scum. I townread her for that.

I think you posted too many words for my brain.
I try to see where I got out of my way, i don't remember. And you could see my words like i see of you would ask for clarification instead jumping to conclusion yourself.

How do you propose we address slankers who post just enough to avoid being subbed out, but not enough to actually contribute?

I have been playing and intend to continue to do so. I've said everything that needs to be said. Burns and Grandpa are suspect to me and have been since I first saw them post. I just don't feel like grandstanding for town cred.

Feeling less sure on Comic dude, but still on the town lean side.
Pretty null on a bunch in there.

Skinner, Flanders, Milhouse take up the bottom three spots with my preference being Skinner Flanders wagons.

Milhouse calling Skinner and Flanders scum is interesting to me and I get it's highly unlikely he's wolf bros with them, but his entrance, lack of content and scum list without due exploration is troubling.

These reads are bad and you should feel bad.

Maybe if we keep pressure on both of these lumps of coal one will turn into a diamond.

In reality this person is mafia and should die.

Would also be happy with euthanizing Grandpa.

Any other reads to share?
Care to explain your takes on Burns and Gramps?
