Less engaging. Mark actually made a post about it being a long time and seeing what they can remember. Boom's giving me more of whimsical first impression though right now

What about you? Do you agree with Sabrar's FOS on Boom?

Yo I hope this link is helpful:

https://smashboards.com/threads/apex-le ... t-24129780

The terminology can be tricky to remember but once it clicks, it clicks.

Is there anyone right now giving you an impression that they could be faking their content?

No. I suspect Sabrar was worried boom was going to hide behind a previous "gag".

"Gag" being a typical thing Boom does?

Eido wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 8:21 pm "Gag" being a typical thing Boom does?

Gambit. Boom did one previously where they just replied in woof to everything. There was a surprising level of.communication though.

Initial impressions is eido is town. I agree with sabrar that huery is leaning town.

Messie is going to be hard to read.

@Makhaira: could you please describe how you normally play as town? Do you have any strengths (e.g. good hunches, vote-analysis, etc)?
[/quote] id say im more reactive of a player than proactive in the early phases. not the best cold reader, pretty good at reading into vote patterns and subtle position shifts

Okay, for starters, I think only half my brain hates D1 now and I also have half identified the scum team from their confirmation posts (hint: Sabrar).

VOTE: messie

heuristically_alone wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 5:14 pm If I thought there were 3 scum I would have rounded up to 67%

are these related?

phillip1882 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 7:15 pm so since i already vote do i still have to post every day?

you don't have to post every day but its a good idea to contribute as often as you can meaningfully do so. the only real tool town players have to find the scum is to discuss their positions because we have no real starting information so we have to generate the content ourselves. if you don't ever communicate or contribute we will be unable to read you which makes you a liability if you're town

this is good to know thanks

Sabrar wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 5:09 pm Why do you think there are 3 scum?

Why does 66% mean 3 scum?

Oh man, if only D1 was over that quickly...

heuristically_alone wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 8:17 pm No. I suspect Sabrar was worried boom was going to hide behind a previous "gag".

Do you think Boom would re-hash an old gambit when most of the crowd has seen the original?

@Sabrar: Why do you think Messie is my scum buddy?

@Messie: I assume weekends are still peek posting time for you. This is the only weekend before deadline. I'd love to hear more from y'all y'all y'all.

That's the standard chance anyone would have being town. heury is supposedly town from their own pov so 9 players, 3 scum means 6 other townies, 6/9 = 66% give or take.

Why do you think I think messie is scum?

Woof woof woof!

I’m soooo excited to be playing with Mark_Cangila and Eido again!

Hi philip1882! I remember you from the xkcd forums! Great to see you again! Hope you have FUN with all of us here!

Welcome Makhaira! We’re always happy to have new members!

Not entirely. Your timing is suspicious.

For not even trying.

Why an FoS why not a vote? Is there a reason you want to leave your vote on me me me?

Reasons?

Hmmm, I like the way you just dropped this in there. What did you mean by it? Or did you just want to talk about me me me me me?

More later there’s a noise outside so I need to bark my head off at it.

messie wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 8:07 am Not entirely. Your timing is suspicious.

Yeah, because I'm known for being patient and not refresh the page every minute when I'm expecting role pm-s to be sent out. I'm sure you have a GoJoe post about that saved somewhere.

messie wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 8:07 am Why an FoS why not a vote? Is there a reason you want to leave your vote on me me me?

You're fully aware that I don't switch often. It simply didn't merit a vote.

It feels like your two halves wait for each other before posting your combined posts. I'm not about to tell you how to play but don't you feel this restricts the information you can convey?

This something you can talk about more? Why is the timing suspicious?

Also, nice to be playing with everyone again too. What a shame we're about to throw someone into a deathly fire

Unvote

Ok so, random coffee thought. I've been thinking about this post:

phillip1882 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 7:15 pm so since i already vote do i still have to post every day?

Scum!Phillip, being new and all, probably seeks this type of guidance from the private chat ? They would have a buddy and a mentor after all.

This post gives me a Town ping for now.

What do we think? Obviously we still need way more content

Woof!!

I’m trying to work out the best way to post, it’s not as easy as I thought! I want to be able to benefit from my unique advantage, but the disadvantage when it comes to speed.

Why do you care how much information I convey? Don’t you already have an opinion about me me me me me?

Surely you know about my (half?) talent with confirmation posts, and my (full) experience with the inimitable mind of Sabrar?

I think I’m less likely to tunnel, this time, but right now Sabrar’s my scum read.

Or is he?

Anyway, I think there’s an empty jar of peanut butter around here somewhere, let me go lick it clean…

Just saw this. Good thought. Seems too many layers of 4D chess for scum to plan out.

I’ll think about it for a while.

Ha, that's why I'm asking! You caught Somi in WWZ in a really clean way so I'm interested in these types of clues you pick up on (assuming this is Bessie).

Is Sabrar's timing being off something you consider reliable?

messie wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 11:12 am Why do you care how much information I convey? Don’t you already have an opinion about me me me me me?

No, I've started RVS and left my vote on you because I'm lazy. I try hard not to do quick scum-reads anymore.

Eido wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 11:08 am Scum!Phillip, being new and all, probably seeks this type of guidance from the private chat ? They would have a buddy and a mentor after all.

However his buddy could advise him to repeat this question in the thread as well to give off this exact impression. Similar things have happened before.

Great question. I do not have a read on messie and I treat them as one entity. So not related.

@messie: why are you so sure that there are only 2 scum?

Forgot that I DO have a read on messie. Hence the vote. Still only treating as one entity though.
