Or maybe they could kill me instead, but I’m not confirmed town and it wouldn’t change much anyway lol.
he has some pretty strong negative interactions with brassherald, to the point it’s incredibly unlikely they were scum together. brass was pretty blatantly being influenced by what GB was saying (and not in a way that is likely to come from scum-scum). he also just seems pretty town via play but eh
Yeah, i’ll take that. It make sense.
What do you think about Nanook!Scum? I’m personally not thinking they’d claim vig, but ignoring that does their play show as scum?
if nanook is scum, i think he pretty much had to do that after how i opened the day. if, for example, no other player had shot cupcake, i’d be conf town now (i was actually assuming that was a possibility when i claimed) so it doesn’t tell me much about his alignment
i think he’s more likely town than dom, though
That also makes sense.
This is pretty hard to be honest.
the problem is no one other than GB had particularly strong interactions with brass. or at least none that really point to one or the other being more likely town (though i think GB might disagree with me here?)
from a pure play perspective, dom’s reasoning for his reads is pretty shoddy (especially opening the day with calling one of me/nanook scum for shooting cupcake - it makes me think he’s scum who wasn’t really thinking through things properly and thought claiming to have shot no one would make him seem more town in others’ eyes). and i’m not a fan of him trying to clear himself and push suspicion elsewhere because of the kill (though i’m sure he’ll argue that’s not what he was doing, it pretty clearly is)
i think his plan coming into today was to claim he’s a vig who hadn’t shot anyone and make it seem like this was a thought process that was coming from a town mindset. (realistically, though, you should pretty much always vig N1 in this setup, i think.)
and i think he saw the two vig claims at the start of the day and jumped on what he thought was an easy angle. the fact that he was pushing suspicion based not on anything play-related but purely on the fact that two people claimed to have vig killed a town player seems like a mindset slip to me (because at least one of us HAS to be town so it clearly wasn’t a scum-motivated idea)
i don’t think the way he was thinking about this was coming from a town mindset, especially since he was basically disregarding all play-based reasons for calling people scum in favour of trying to push suspicion onto two people for something that clearly isn’t scummy
I feel bad for not interacting more day 1, unfortunately I’ve kind of developed a habit of being terrible in day 1 that I really need to get out of.
Do you believe Nanook’s reasons for shooting Cupcake?
every time i come back to this post, it just looks more and more like someone who wasn’t thinking like a town player
at the end of the post i’m quoting, he mentions nanook and interactions with brass and arguably that’s a play-based read (though he doesn’t really expand on it much after that), but the entirety of the reasoning he gave for suspecting me was this, unless i missed something else
and even apart from the fact that this completely disregards all day-play, this reasoning is just bad
it reads like someone who thinks they can push the angle “oh, he shot town and i can paint that as scummy”
as some general advice independent of anything in this game, even if you consider yourself bad at D1, you really should be more active as either alignment. as town, you really need to be making it clear to other players that you’re thinking about the game in a town way (even if you’re wrong about who’s scum, putting your reasoning out there and making yourself transparent is a good thing) and as scum you really don’t want to be in a pile of lurkers that people suspect based on activity
based on what he was saying towards the end of D1, i could see it making sense, yeah. he did suspect cupcake and was questioning him a bit and i could see him thinking cupcake’s vote was the worst of the elli votes
Thanks! And yeah, I’m liking a Dom lynch now.
i really want GB to check in so i can have a discussion with him about where his thoughts are at, but given timezones, i doubt that’s going to happen any time soon
sucks being on the other side of the world from the majority of players
Me too, I want to hopefully town read them on my interactions with them.
And I know how you feel lol. Time zones are a pain 
Blech. Not a huge fan of this plan, too many variables for my taste. I prefer the idea of lynching muffins, I get NKed, then Dom hammers Mylo tomorrow. That feels like a safer route to me.
i sincerely doubt there is any world in which you or dom die after my death
in the likely scenario one of you is scum, you pretty much need to keep the other alive for that very reason
pretty much the way i see this game playing out after lynching me is that all 4 of you will most likely be alive tomorrow OR mylo dies tonight if he’s town and then GB has to decide which of you and dom he thinks is more likely scum
which is why i want to have a discussion with GB atm but he isn’t around and i’m going to sleep soon
Yeah, it depends on what scum does but I’m unfortunately likely dead tonight. If it’s a no kill, we get two kills for one!
Hmm. That’s a good point, actually, if you’re town and Dom is scum probably makes sense to leave me alive and make it a harder decision.
So let’s not make me play another day and just lynch muffins now instead.
