    Mmmmyeah Sloth>Citrus>Kai is how I'd play this right now

    Anyone besides citrus got an opinion on Demon's vanilla claim because that just does not feel like a move scum makes in this situation it's Trying To Help

    I kinda agree with your thoughts on Demon.

    No opinion on Cobalt in the lynch order?

    I want to lynch sloth anyway. His reaction of 'oh, ok. how shocking you got a red check on me' is not the response I'm looking for.

    For other people, Citrus' absurd level of defensiveness all game reads awfully (which makes sense if team is von/sloth/citrus), he's not trying to do things just impeding others from doing things.

    Unimpressed by demonturtle's claim, but it doesn't feel scummy. Just derpy.

    Not lynching Newcomb, Acio, Fonti or demonturtle & we're doing pretty well just on the POE here so it's like whatever.

    If you slotted him in he'd be last; if sloth was town that'd change?

    But like, sloth/von scumteam getting rolled day one and he comes in and is just like "hey can I get a pass?" does not feel like something someone teamed with them does

    No, I didn't vote you, because WE ARE LYNCHING SLOTH TODAY.

    Or did you not grasp that from me opposing your bounce-the-lynch-elsewhere plan?

    Citrus can stay stressed, pressed and obsessed if I'm right with that off the hip read.

    I actually disagree on Citrus. Like, I tracked down some of his posts last night I had thought were scummy at the time, but didn't actually see that in them anymore. I wouldn't lynch him.

    I dunno about that.

    The feel I get from his posts is he wants us to do something else but doesn't actually disagree with our current direction.

    Thought: citrus/von/sloth team seems to indicate that von was probably intentionally suiciding with his vote on titus

    Does this seem likely and is there anything that anyone's found that would indicate unaligned?

    Re-read.

    Does scumVon just ping out his teammates like this in RVS? Hnnnn I feel like he'd be too self-conscious? But.

    Yeah then two more times. Granted throwing in a little bit at me/Titus.

    But like. That's a loooooot of love for his mafia buddies in the Snow/Sloth/Citrus world. Almost to the point where I'm doing a 180 and kinda buy it because he's so consistent with it on the first few pages. Pretty tinfoil-y one way or another I guess. Is a Thing, maybe.

    This is after Jason has posted 1 (one) thing. Preeeeeetty comfortable hard-clearing Jason if Sloth flips scum.

    I'm feeling demon/Citrus unaligned for this exchange. I don't think scum!Citrus pings out a partner like that early, and I don't think scum!demontrutle is so blase in calling a partner scum.

    This was an early response to Acio talking about Citrus's first post claim.

    Kind of gives insight into how demonturtle thinks about claiming? I.e. claiming is just "what you do" to save yourself from a lynch. Thus the "I'm helping" VT claim. Soooo yeah I can kinda see demon town from this combined with the latest stuff.

    Hey fonti what was this about, did you ever explain?

    Just so everyone is on the same page, Acio is lock clear for this + the later post he read where he called me and Acio town, I asked him why, and he didn't bother to differentiate the reads. (Although that last one has less weight if you don't have the knowledge that I'm town)(Although if you don't think I'm town, uhh what game have you been reading)

    Stopping at post #100 for now.

    I feel like if sloth's scum it doesn't rule citrus out but ultimately it can be read either way

    They all sort of tumble around for a bit and then don't really interact much afterwards; I think it leans more towards fake interacting than not? Like none of them talk directly to each other afterwards in spite of von calling for fights (immediately after sloth scumreads him) and sloth's questions in his citruspost

    They all scumread each other for various reasons except citrus-> sloth day one and then today citrus is scumreading him without supporting it

    Yeah.

    I guess I'm also at I could see it either way, but it makes too much sense in a "possible world" kind of way to ever not lynch Citrus if Sloth flips mafia.

    ---------- Post automerged at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

    Re-read continued.

    Yeah idk it's thin but I think Cobalt's town. The way he was just kinda like "oh shit forgot game started; oh look a bunch of new people, peace out."

    I've never seen Cobalt's scumgame, but I have a hard time wrapping my head around scum!Cobalt being that breezy when that kind of thing got him a ton of heat and would have gotten him mislynched in WH5 a few games ago if Atum hadn't been the World's Worst Witch and assassinated him.

    Hnnnngrble.

    Throwing out a rapid-fire list of town early like that is definitely scum!fonti vibes. The reasoning/followup is not, though. And I /like/ the Cobalt thing, it's assertive yet careful?

    I'm not sure if fonti's town or I just want her to be town.

    Either way she'll prove herself probably by Sloth flipping mafia and then getting shot, so yay self resolving problem?

    Addendum: The Citrus "fake on multiple levels thing" I was kinda meh on when she did respond; not to self to pay attention to that when I get to it.

    Yeah this is one line but COME ON, 0% chance it's Snow/Citrus/Cobalt.

    idk why I'm coming up with unaligned pairs when the world is almost always Snow/Sloth+1 and there's one unknown, but whatever.

    Hard not to see this as "why didn't town fonti pick up on the mafia-ness of my mafia partner's readwall."

    I'm also fully on board the "Von reflexively busses when under pressure" train.

    Yeah that's 100% something you say about your mafia partner. Especially the "only" part. That's so goddamn certain Snow's scum but the read is "Lean Scum" yeah no. That's "man I wish my mafia partner wasn't so easy to read as mafia."

    Huh so "scumslips" really do exist; I thought that was just a myth.

    ~I WANT TO BELIEVE~

    I won't!

    Hmmmm yeah this is a little late in the game for a toneread, but I really feel like this is town!fonti. I'm not sure I've ever seen scum fonti replicate this kind of broad strokes gamesolving without it being laced with barbs, if that makes sense. Plus I /agree/ with almost all of that, so...

    If I had to hang my "Miner is town" read on one post, it would be this one.

    Stopping at post #260 probably for the night.

    I had this feeling that Titus was so consistently off she had to be town, but I wasn't going to give her that and let her coast off of it.

    ---------- Post automerged at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 AM ----------

    It occurs to me that I have no fucking idea who the last scum is after Sloth.

    So, it's probably just Kai.

    hah I was just going to ask you this.

    Could be. We can go Kai->Citrus->X if the game doesn't end where X is uh. idk Cobalt or something? Cobalt seems kinda town to me though. Who even else is playing. Actually if we kill Citrus->Kai and the game doesn't end and you're still alive maybe it's YOU.

    <_<

    More re-read

    Right yeah I forgot about this - again, makes the demon VT claim kinda believable if that's how demon thinks about mafia.

    Aaaaaand yeah also that. I'm imagining myself typing that in my first scumgame and idk I'd have been too afraid to I think? Maybe I'm projecting too much of my own play.

    But like especially if it's Von/Sloth/X, that X person is feeling some goddamn pressure D1 even if they're not suspected. How that pressure manifests depends on the individual - lurking it out and just hoping no one pokes them is possible. Throwing up a bunch of questions / diversions like Citrus was doing while refusing to commit to a read on Sloth is also possible. But the way demon was playing, yeah I just don't see that.

    Yeah I keep coming back to this as well. I think it's only something to worry about if Sloth's town, so in the vast majority of worlds we never have to worry about it.

    Woooooow okay I went back and looked at that quote, since Sloth pointed out that it was actually from a towngame.

    Citrus you were IN that game, wtf. And you were the one who linked it to me. Fonti's reaction to the quote was to disagree with me about how it was similar, then when it was revealed it was actually from a towngame, be like "welp I guess we switched positions." You had like - nothing.

    Did you not even read the quote because you don't need to know Sloth's alignment because you already know he's scum because he's your partner? Because I kinda could see that. I guessssss I could also see RL busy Citrus who's playing fast and loose with actually playing and not reading, but like. It feels like you didn't actually read those two quotes I linked and think about them critically at all, or you'd have had something to say bout them especially considering you were IN that game.

    Stopping at #302, heading to work. More to come later today.

    Btw if this is all useless because it's literally Von/Sloth/Kai then I'm going to be... well, no I'm still fine because it's good practice. But a little annoyed yeah.

    What does that even mean Newcomb? I literally grabbed the first 3 games he was in the player list with, I have no freaking clue what happened in those games.

    ---------- Post automerged at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

    Me not critically reading anything is pretty much all business. I don't just not read stuff as scum.

    Whatever, done with exams now although I'll probably not put much effort here until tomorrow, because I want to enjoy being done and its not fun sitting here being the equivalent of a read-punching bag

    ---------- Post automerged at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

    For real, I think the only posting anyone has done in the past 24 hours now is commenting on me, with a lot of repeating what other people are saying. It's literally that or don't post in the thread
