alot of the reason my scumreads fall out in games is that I subscribe to the idea that if my push is wrong eventually, at least 1 scum will sheep me and join that read. After X amount of hours if zero people join me or even comment I usually conclude that scum is way too scared to try to join a moth led lynch- or thay scum doesnt see that lynch being successful.


there have been instances where ive caught scum right away, made the case, and everyone thought I was just really stupid/slow/weird and my ideas had no merit. The last thing id expect is to catch scum early, and other scum to bus based on a moth push.

Alas, I concluded my reasoning for a scumread on outed were lackluster and id not understood we werent even in day 1. but basically nobody agreed that outed could be scum when I was pushing him. only after I decided he could be town was there sudden dismay and discord about outed suddenly being wolfy

Bastard fiesta is.... not a great example or sample etc. of my wolfing/nonvillaging if that's where that's from

I went into that game intending to be pretty shitposty and chill and occasionally hipfire a bit and then had no idea how to go about this as a non villa in the weird threadstate mix of some people doing that and some being super serious, and it resulted in me just posting poorly

Plus I was semi outed after like an hour and basically openwolfed after that lol.

Actually moreso town meta from the team mafia game than scum meta from that game. You just seemed very happy and involved in that game.

Yes
If you value the fact you got my alignment correct then youre doing well.

if you value a successful mafia game where town gets quality lynches; im not sure we have a rapport necessary to correctly bring scum down because I feel like youd be more inclined to compartmentalize me into a corner where just knowing im town is all im useful for.

outed wolf wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 12:50 am alright fellas, time to drop some mech stuff that might help. many of this might be completely irrelevant to the game, but better you hear it anyway i suppose.

firstly: talismans:

these are almost certainly going to be mostly quickness/presence/hope/glory boosts. there may also be stardust which you would be able to apply to a talisman to increase the boost. some talismans in the game have other effects which may not be able to be transported here or may be things like: gain Sol if you're on a wolf lynch or what have you. there are also legendary talismans (at least for the major nightwing characters) that are given by sandra (part of the beyonders in game) to the characters if they pass a particularly difficult solo trial. these have character specific boosts - these may or may not be in the game, i suspect if sandra is a role in the gme her role will be related somewhat to this, but i'm not sure.

secondly: the game is part fantasy basketball and part visual novel. thus i suspect at different times during this game there will be choices to be made about which place to go (which may provide buffs/debuffs for certain characters). im expecting some kind of hidden mechanics here.

thirdly: titan stars. i'm not sure if these will play a part in this game, they are used in game to offer a more difficult challenge, but you level up faster. it is possible these are invokable or have some impact down the line but i don't think this is an early game mechanic at least right now. we will see.

i might give a quick rundown of the characters if anyone wants it

wolfy mechanics talk

affects stats when members of your triumvirate die

affects how much sol (currency) you gain each phase

could possibly do other stuff as well but that's the public info, it gets a bit more specific than i was in the op

That Nanook vote weirded me out

You don't accept his reasoning? I find Tony's overall vibe scummy to this point but I don't take issue with him prodding someone that was barely noticeable. You'll notice that Nanook showed up too, and his posts didn't exactly impress me. Since you like asking questions I'll ask you one; any thoughts on Nanook himself?

Oh and I think you asked me about Moth earlier but I got distracted; he is still town.

It’s because Tony was happy to suspect people and cast shade on them, but wasn’t willing to actually back it up with a vote. Like from reputation I know sloonei and nutella are fairly experienced players, so it’d probably be hard to get either banished d1. Nanook is a really easy, random, low-commitment vote. Who’s gonna defend someone with low thread presence that hasn’t really gotten “serious” about solving yet? Like in a vacuum I don’t think someone voting Nanook is necessarily scummie, but it doesn’t really fit with the mindset Tony’s shown so far.
Like Tony: “This might be a wolf tactic because most people just leave these sort of mutual tunnels alone d1. be cautious of this”
Also Tony: leaves mutual tunnel alone, makes an easy, low-commitment vote
Why isn’t he pushing at the tunnel? It just makes me go ???

Re: Nanook is probably just lazy civilian getting pushed for a miselim.

But why, sloonei did you state your vote/anything really so far? Why should I wanna be on your triumvirate?

wolfy post

boom roasted.

why

Sloonei has made a couple posts and isn't projecting town yet and if he doesn't start doing so soon I will be very concerned

sloonei gets like 10 posts to be supatown

@TonyStarkPrime is my town supa yet?

No, just because usually I feel that day 1 spats like this tend to resolve with neither member being the target of suspicion after a while and their position in a triumvirate together leads me to believe that neither really suspects the other.

I'm still not sure I understand the logic. Your first reflex is to think they're w/w (rather than v/v or w/v) and then just let them be?

if a member of your triumvirate dies you lose a bunch of $tat$

Oh that makes sense well I'm just dumb then I guess?

I'm just gonna tunnel sloonei nutella w/w as this conflict plays out

Can I just sheep you plz?

my one read is that two random people I'm not voting for could be paired that seems like a terrible strategy

MacDougall seems to be joking, why the serious answer?
