You get Magnus Carlsen.

I insert 10 crumpled dollar bills.

This logic makes no sense. How do you go from a scummy read to "as lock town as you can get". And at that time, Heury was tied with Messie for votes - you had zero. lol, wut? This is the vtotals right before I said I'd vote Heury: Votecount 1.5 messie (3): heury, phillip, Wam Eido (1): Bo...

Can everyone that hasn't already done so post an ordered list (no groupings) before deadline? Vote: somitomi Placeholder. Open to discussion. I feel BoomFrog and Makhaira are not-scum. Really? He rolefished, then thinks I'm scummy for stopping him. He kept his vote on Heury even though he said my p...

A lot of what Boom says about Mak is hard for me to interpret because it's often stylistic and strategic stuff that can vary forum to forum. Reads list explanations or the way Mak describes people as "gross" isn't inherently scummy, and the way BF presents it as such seems off to me. While...

Oh I looked at the D1 link. Well, let me finish off my post before I head to bed.

Has deadlne not already happened? I saw zero hours on the link? Because messie said 3 hours to deadline a bit ago.

I've had a really crazy day today - I'm sorry for not getting a reads list, I'll put it up first thing D3 based on D1 and D2. In the meantime, I don't think anything I've seen from Boom is a great explanation for the weirdness on the Messie read, and it just sits wrong in my stomach. Vote: Boomfrog ...

"I could have sat back and let us coast to a miselim on Heury." Then how do you explain these few posts? I'd rather not yeet Heury or messie but if it comes down to it I'll move to Heury. Quick list since I have other obligations tonight. Town: Mark - Good townie vibe and active scumhunti...

Mark / Phillip
Wam / Makhaira / Messie
Somi / Boom

Wait, why is Philip townie in your mind? What's he even done to deserve that?

Mark_Cangila wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 2:13 am I don't see a world of town!Boom switching onto Eido like he did, unless he just made a big mistake or something - I'd vote for him, but I don't wanna go to L-2.

Oops - he's at L-2 now, my vote would put him at L-1.

Makhaira wrote: ↑Sun Mar 13, 2022 7:40 pm Mark, what specifically are you referring to re: ambiguity here? messie's self contradicting position on sabrar?

Yeah exactly. Seemed like an easy way to get out of taking a position on anything.

Sorry, I've been at a robotics tournament all weekend, and I was wiped out today. @wam: You said you found me scummy much earlier though. Around this post: What exactly was scummy about my behavior? I really didn't get the Eido read, as stated here I didn't buy the gambit. I could have sat back and ...

I'll be on tomoroe morning - had a robotics tournament, sorry.

Animal Kingdom Mafia Well that's interesting. I didn't expect Heury to flip town, but I was never as sure abt him. BF is probably the weirdest variable here, the push on Eido feels so arbitrary and unnecessary to me. I see basically 2 possibilities: 1. He was worried messie would die, so he tried to...

My question was about why you're FoSing instead of voting, it's odd you didn't notice that @Messie could you respond to my question here? Where FoS instead of vote after asking Sabrar why he did that? Sorry. The nitpicky half of my brain must have been asleep. I don’t vote early and often. I am mor...

Town Eido - Immediately began to attempt to identify relationships between players. Good scum hunting. Sabrar - see above Wam - I like the vote on messie and agree with his assessment that messie is worried about sabrar Mark_Cangila - Is making an impressive effort. And I can follow their thought p...

I'm also just not as convinced that responses on mountainousness are all that useful; scum have a slightly bigger sample size that might influence them, but not overwhelmingly larger.

@mark is it not obvious to you why a person's opinion on the mountainous-ness of a setup would be related to their initial positions on the town/scum balance? I think sadly between you and boom trying to give away the answer or obscure the inquiry, the probative value of trying to get this info fro...

@ Mark : what is your opinion on Eido? I generally like Eido - working from his reference to NewD3 mafia, his play here seems similar to his play there. It seems townie and engaged - lots of questions, albeit not much specific analysis. I don't agree with him on messie though - messie here seems le...

I just lost an almost completed reads list. Give me a while

Ok. How do I merit keeping your vote? FoS somitomi FoS Sabrar Why are you FoSing, then? Because it’s suspicious to me that Town would not ask questions about the setup when they’re relevant, as they were when trying to determine if something’s a genuine slip or not, especially when the information ...
