Yes I was scum. And we lost lol

nooooooooooooooooo who was your mate?

Someone I don’t think I ever saw again. I’d never played with her before and I don’t remember her name tbh lol

youre so real for this especially after you got out D1 and yall lost LMAO

The more I think about it the more I think it's likely that Heury/Bessie are s/s.

If we're going into experience with previous games of this type, I was in one which was similar but not exact. Scum wanted to be voted out, but it was plurality vote not a trust fall situation. I was scum with wam, and I got elimed D1 much to my joy; took wam until 3-person endgame to win for us. bessie was also in that game, and I feel a little bad because she might still have a bitter taste about it.

do we think its at all possible that scum!heury didnt realize he'd be locked and is just rolling with it now so its less of a gambit than we thought?

Why?

cuz I 100% see scum heury early voting mate if there's no vote locking

KayJayQueue wrote: ↑Thu Apr 24, 2025 2:12 amWhy?

I'm going to be an asshole and state it. Wam was scum in the previous game, got elimmed. It's possible he replaced out after realizing during sign ups that he got scum and noped out. I'm not going to bank it on this, which is why I think it's important to read Bessie by her content. But I'm impatient. Regardless, highly don't think either should be voted ever.

Oooooooh meta

See this makes me slightly hesitant because scum would love to turn a t/t issue into a “never vote these” which raises scum’s chances remarkably especially for end game. But that might just be paranoia. I just don’t know why s/s would do this and I don’t think Bessie would’ve agreed with it so it’d have to have just been Heury deciding to go rogue.

No, I think it's still possible because people were giving Bessie a town read after having heury as >rand scum. Possible that the motivation is low in the team and that could lead to such a high risk high reward gambit.

yo if wam rolled scum FUCKING AGAIN I feel so bad thats an insane chain of scumrolls

I do agree that it's more likely Heury didn't consult Bessie on this, knowing she is very busy, and is a replacement. I would think he'd decide solo in consideration of her already low time commitment. Plus it could possibly result in people clearing Bessie, which I think is a major mistake. Instead, keep an eye on her.

pretty sure we only need 3 consecutive successful pure town trust falls to win? obv if one scum gets out it will take us more but if we never let scum out its only 3 to win because rules say town wins at parity iirc

not trying to rand this shit thats so fucking pro scum Im getting flashbacks to secret hitler topdeck nonsense

I will try to have a reads list for tomorrow so we can try to have a consensus of town reads.

bessie
Kay
Deadbananas
EGW
Moody
Greedy
Bop
Heury
somitomi

I think this is my rough ranking of like most trusted to least, top is most

but Im not sure I simply want my top town reads to be the one exiting at this point so Ill have to think about this more and come up with like preferred pairings

Can you explain Bessie and Somi in the mean time? Going to play some Fire Emblem for a bit.

KayJayQueue wrote: ↑Thu Apr 24, 2025 1:38 amI just don’t see the reason to attempt the theater as a scum team.

The way I see it, Db as mafia is town reading a >rand scum move and sticking to it to prop up a buddy with a hard gambit. Does town reading Heury all game make sense from a town perspective? That is my major hang up with DB.

I simply thing that its >rand town instead, additionally, I like most parts of Heury's posts after, I feel it is a bit hyperbolic to say all game, when its mid day 1. I don't have a reason to be paranoid on my Heury read today, I'm always analyzing, but only one person can trust fall Heury, so they are at the bottom of my scared of meter for the day.

Going to say as the master of misreading the setup, I think seven made that one very clear in the startup post, which Heury had to have read to know Bessie was in the game, unless scum partners.

All your answers can be gained upon a bessie flip.

aww my image didn't work. Thought for sure I'd done it right. It was this https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress ... R-1093.jpg

That's the problem. We don't want to risk a scumflip with this setup.

For sure, from my pov, if I exclude Bessie Heury, and myself these are my pairs:

Somi - Kay

BOP -Mak

Then I'm left with a pool of Moody, Greedy, and EGW?

Of all those I'd pair up with prolly EGW, at this point, ofc reads would change throughout days, but I'd rather substitute Bessie in for Kay any day myself.

I'm open to the idea of waiting till day 2 on it now, I think somi's post that initially confused me actually made me think a bit more, and Day 2 Bessie is >>> town than Day 1 bessie IMO now. Open to others thoughts on this.

Let’s go with this, yes. My apologies for the haphazard deadline. I struggle with numeric time since I don’t perceive time linearly.

Jk on the last bit
