The rules are a general ruleset with allowances for daychat but we don't even have a confirmation that there are actual scum.The rules are the vaguest on actual mechanics that I have ever seen. It's either that this game is entirely vanilla, or Adum is hiding a big stinker (wth is the name for one of those games?) (also I always phone it in until I do my in-depth analysis)

Fake-Vote Adum

Hmm... Pretty sure Fred is Town.

Madge probably is too.

EGW wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 4:35 pm Mod: Please prod Wam and Gluelock.

Wam has been prodded

Here, apologies.

I will not be around at deadline it is 3am my time.

Catching up content tomorrow morning.

How would it influence your read if I told you I specifically did something non-conforming just for you, you, you?

So did you?

Also, starting from Adum's start-of-day post, roughly what percentage of the total words have you read from the posts up to this point?

@Ali, I'd be curious to see what your current read graph looks like when you have the opportunity.

haaha now i'll remember you gluelock, thanks for the vote.

deadline is at noon my time but i have a meeting from 11-12 that day at work so i won't be online for deadline unless it finishes early (which it does sometimes)

Imma be honest, I don't even know if I'll be awake for deadline. My sleep schedule has been drastically shifting this week after getting fired and trying to transition to a day shift position. I am on US Mountain Time btw.

I might be missing something but I don't see the claim

Claiming no soul. Now the question.... Do dancer have soul?

Vote: EGW so I don't have to read so much.

ohboyherewego.png

atleast freddy posted tho. No wam, gluelock or jc is lame af

It's the immediate vote. NOTHING SINISTER.

Unvote: EGW.

are you referring to your own immediate unvote here?

Seven wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 1:24 pm Apparently Moody is polarized as well. It is not something I’ve ever noticed before.

He is the second dancer.

My inference primarily stems from this line:

I will note that this does make a tie between you and Thea.

Without going into detail, the grammatical and stylistic structure of this sentence suggests deviation from the reverse Voight-Kampff test used to verify the emotional suppression of us humans.

Put simply, the view is inauthentic; underlying nervousness regarding its inauthenticity led to structural anomalies indicative of a dancer.

you're claiming that moody has a distinguishable tone shift as scum here? can you give a town!moody example to contrast clearly?

Makhaira wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 3:47 am I dont think I've ever seen EGW make a post like this, wild

What is wild about it?

the fact that I honestly cant ever recall EGW giving such an abridged reads list with so little context so early in the game with this kind of delivery is wild. EGW usually isnt so willing to just give reads without explanation

Makhaira wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 3:47 am is the bolded a joke? tone over internet is hard

Well, I wasn't particularly serious when I typed that, but I'm not sure it'd qualify as a joke.

but they werent scumreading each other, seven scumread EGW and EGW townread seven for it. how did you misunderstand this?

Im not sure if heury is actually tryin to contribute

freddino seems markedly more active than past games like maybe actually invested in this one? idk if thats a scum tell tho

Gluelock what about madge's manicpost makes you so certain they are scum? do you have meta insight here?

EGW wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 3:57 am Mak: Seven didn't play proactively there. He didn't have a push, he wasn't scumhunting. His vote on you was simply because he didn't have enough on Bessie when I stated that she was town. I was waiting for you to town up that game so we could push seven but the longer the day went I doubted you more. Here, Seven immediately pushes me, and his post shows a certain bravado I don't see from him in his scum games.

what role in the scum partnership do you believe seven played in that game? point scum or support scum?

Seven posturing as very confident on the D1 solve and not actually pushing their picks is a bad look here tbh

We have a little under two days to REACH MAJORITY

latecomers please get contributions in within 24 hours and if you can't make deadline make sure you cast a vote. THIS IS NOT A PLURALITY ELIM GAME

IMO yeet wam or JC if they don't have something meaningful up in 24 hours, yeet JC over wam unless wam is obviously wack

moody and somi both feel weird and can probably go

heury glue and bessie are all kind of true null for me rn

I gut read madge's manicpost as town so light lean there, also similar gut read on freddy based on his early game play

seven and egw I just frankly need more from to be able to read and thea seems to be trying to solve and communicate legit reads I guess but none of them should be plays at this point for various nebulous reasons

Yes I did

Within a small margin of error all of them

It was a quick throwaway line about Seven and EGW debating each other already like they usually do, I just chose the wrong word because I wasn't paying too much attention.

Again, no lurker elims, they're useless as an opening move.

I'm fairly flavour-blind, but I think you might be reading too much into that

Makhaira wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 6:16 am Im not sure if heury is actually tryin to contribute

I'm not sure this is alignment indicative for heury at this stage.

Phone posting for a bit so can't get to it for a bit. I've added Fred and Madge to town side. I think Mak too.

Feel like I'm being too generous with my townreads but nothing else yet has excited me.

I don't want to do want until he gets back to post. He's usually pretty easy to sort. Would you do Moody with me?

vote moody

Want to do wam that should read

Mak - town
EGW - town
Thea - Town

Somi - lean town
Bessie - lean town
Huery - lean town

Moody - neutral
Madge - neutral
JC - neutral, lack of content

Egw - lean scum, weird vibes but can't put my finger on what is making me suspicious.
Fred - lean scum, again not sure why but something is pinging me


Madge scummy , but always is day 1.
Glue - scummy one line vote having been quiet doesn't show desire to solve.

Don't like seven going day 1 solved and being quiet

vote seven

Happy with seven or Glue.

Scum that helped coach Bessie play a townie game as scum. I can understand the idea behind support scum but not sure what you mean by point scum. They also meant to kill me N1 but I got bodyguarded. (Thanks to JC) I understand Seven the most here most likely. I still think he's town. Him not pushing me at the very least shows that he either didn't truly believe I was scum early game, or if he does somehow (boo) then he'd wait to see how I play to truly develop his read on me. In the other game, he just instantly read me as town. (Yeah EGW you're town I get it, *votes Mak*) So, towntell for Seven for pumping the brakes.

Gluelock and Wam are scum. I think people are latching on to the wrong thing to scumread Somi. I'd rather see his reads and his overall play. I'm neutral on Moody.

Vote: Gluelock

His entrance feels like he was already caught up and only posted when called out (reactive) rather than posting actively. Madge, vote with me.

Wam has me as town and then scum in the same reads list, so feels fake to me.
