help me out here, what am I doing wrong
this PoE sucks but I can't seem to see the game a different way

Honestly I agree with the core of it. Since it seems too damn simple but I can't come up with anything else.

I'm never going after you or iaafr. So 6 slots and I am ultimately 3 tiering this since I don't think anyone else here is on the same level of cleared as you two.

Epi, Jack, Sprityo, Dom, Radishes, Colin.

So while Epi has some emotions in terms of annoyance it's not that much and frankly isn't a town tell. Most people would be annoyed in that scenario so it is hard NAI. Then the rabbit push is very eh. I'm honestly unsure if I want him in bottom or middle still, but I guess I'll drop him in for now.

I can agree that Jack has looked better in regards to trying to remove out the current POE and actually participating. Most of them are kinda fluffy but I like his approach to Radishes and there was decent insight when he commented on Michelle.

Dom just has baseless aggression and that's it.

Radishes is weird for me. He has similar thought processes but timings and amount of work make it possible that he's trying to pocket me. So there's sus there but I'm not hitting him today imo.

Colin has some flailing but again, there's nothing actually clearing here. It's enough that he isn't the option today but that's it.

Maybe it's just me but there wasn't anything supremely clearing about the emotional outburst. I get why you're reading him town off it, it could be enough to bump if there was more but he still doesn't have the best look in thread. At the very least since we need 3 I don't see enough to move him to the middle.

{Jack, Radishes, Colin}
{Epi, Dom, Sprityo}

notice how radishes is the only entry there that truly looks like "town but with paranoia" other than maybe jack bit still

Yeah. Again, most of them haven't really cleared themselves or have mixed/outright bad ISOs.

It makes it annoying to solve.

I promise you that focusing on what should be tinfoil is doing you no favors regardless of your alignment.

You basically keep repeating that you don’t want to work with like half the people here and then you wonder why anyone is scumreading you.

I’d post a Jackie Chan brain is full of fuck picture here but free Hong Kong and fuck Jackie Chan, too.

Posted: **Sun Nov 03, 2019 9:30 pm**

I'm genuinely like pretty lost on what people want me to do here

I keep telling you I'd be making cases if I could

"working with people" is something I do when people case each other in ways that are appealing to me and I still haven't fully read this day because I caught a glimpse of Dom's push on me and it made me wanna do nothing

I'm good with rolling with pawns tier list pretty much and seeing what happens next

Once I played a game that allowed claiming but the host said it wouldn’t help us win but then we massclaimed and won really easily. Does that count?

Posted: **Sun Nov 03, 2019 9:35 pm**

you're implying it's due to Homesite

no it's because all of you are pushing me in a way I don't buy and don't respect the clears that I think should be obvious

I admit this is a weak point in my case for Iaafr, but I am ok with it and still think he's town

Do you have further reasons to scumread him?

Posted: **Sun Nov 03, 2019 9:36 pm**

Holy cow this game has thousands of post in this forum. It's great to see everyone so engaged! On the downside, there's no way I can keep up with that many posts.

There has been a lot of good gameplay so far, but a couple of clashes as well. I'm not talking to anyone in particular, but I'd like to take a chance and remind everyone that this is a game. A contentious, competitive game full of strained relationships between complete strangers, deception in spades, and aggressive discourse... but a game nonetheless.

That's the nature of the game.

It's understandable if some players get on your nerves, or if playstyles butt heads, or if the setup isn't quite what you'd dreamed it to be. But this is a game, and I ask that, if you get to the point where you aren't enjoying yourself (or might be causing someone else to rage at their keyboard) that you step back, take a deep breath, and spend five minutes looking at kitten gifs. If you still have a serious grievance afterward, related to the attitude of the players or personal attacks, please PM me.

Just a reminder, that's all. Thanks.

but if he's scum he's faking a ton of emotions

these two things don't seem to jibe
which of his emotions are town-perspective and cant be genuine scum perspective emotions and/or genuine emotions sublimated into ones that pretend to be town
No, that's not the point

the point is that I think he's naturally an observer-type or analyst-type player, and therefore it's hard for him to fake emotion and he'll prefer not to do it

then there's like four pages of very heated emotions today

I don't think the emotions themselves are unfakable, if that was Hyena doing that I would lynch it instantly

but I feel like Epi specifically would have a difficult time doing that

Jackofhearts2005 you're a syndi, am I right about Epi's character here or am I blowing smoke?

Epi’s emotions don’t seem to change with alignment. I’m not the best at catching scum Epi. I do on occasion recognize town Epi and this feels like town Epi.

In particular, he cares a lot about this game and while town Epi doesn’t always fit that bill, the shits he gives feel productive and real if that makes sense.

I have no issue with Dom presently. I just realized I evidently missed Dom in the book I compiled. I don't know how that happened.

Nobody else seemed to notice either.
he didnt exist until about an hour or so ago

Sprit is outright lying. I was a decent part of Day 2. Just ask the crew that hates me.
