    The quotation of a question is still a question though.

    Okay this is actually a stupid conversation. Good night.

    Read on me hits the points I expect it to. Namely some insightful things that seem right, some townpoints for things I remember doimg as scum, and a bunch of paragraphs about super NAI stuff. But I dig the conclusion.

    Rest of this, I like the reads he hates typing (jans jokes, fonti's revving up) and the vaimes spoiler. But those are probably exactly the sort of things he knows he has to fake.

    Don't like how he's reading jari/shadow, and am a bit shocked those are his main pushes. It's not that they're low hanging fruit, they're just kinda... Not pushes geared towards figure solving they just feel poe already

    This post does look like town Newcomb in general, and a lot of the things I dislike are fairly minor.

    And I think if Newcomb scum waco/shadow both town and team would probably contain names like stanari, fonti, jari.
    Kinda just based on this post and vague memories.

    Okay.
    Cobalt and vaimes reads are kind of gimmes at this point but the rest of that looks fine.

    Thoughts on gemma?
    Specifically gemma vs jan

    I’ll grant you a somewhat begrudging chuckle for that one.

    Re: your Mal question. The general thrust of that bit was that Mal is towny but grading on a curve. Like... the game has kinda grown beyond the standards that I’m judging him by and the things he’s towny for no longer really cut it.

    Not sure what you meant to say here. “Future solving,” maybe?

    Oh, Newcomb, I'm sorry. I didn't believe you, and other people I liked were going after you, so I joined in. I'm not trying to make you hate the game, or bully you into wallposting or bust. It's not like I never give you more chances than needed to settle on a read of you. :V

    Olive branch accepted, I guess.

    shit, my burst of energy crapped out before I could finish analyzing the playerlist

    uhhhhh

    everyone else is null

    yeah

    (I will try to get back around to that but I don't know when day ends)

    Lynch: Newcomb

    I feel like I should feel better about this but I don't

    buuuuut I feel worse about everything else, so >_>

    PREVIEW EDIT: nope fuck it last time I accepted a meta townread it was an unqualified disaster

    and like waco/Jari seem too likely to be easy mislynches to me so shrug :/

    I mean I 100% agree but I feel like I've fallen into Catch-22 mafia and I don't want to run Newcomb out of the game in the fashion that seems to be happening, sooo.

    Really? I thought it was amazing and worthy of praise.

    I mean I feel like variants on that sentiment ("don't lynch high activity/self-clearing/cool to have players early!") are what lead to the early mislynches? Like, I'm thinking of Portal 2 where everyone in serious contention D1 was a mislynch because all the Actual Scum were off the table for whatever reason. And I mean, if he's scum then we WANT him kicked out of the game as early as possible. That's kinda how it works.

    And I mean, it WAS praiseworthy...just...not for ME :v

    I'll be getting up in like 10 hours, so I guess I'll probably be here for it...

    ugh, the vote pattern on waco isn't "mislynch fodder" but his gameplay sure is

    Can someone case him real quick? I didn't feel particularly bad about him when I ran through his ISO...

    Which one is me, Waco, and Stanari/Delphine?
    --- Post automerged ---
    Town!Waco is better than that.
    --- Post automerged ---
    Actually wait let me guess.

    I'm the Cobra, Waco is the black container, and Delphine/Stanari is the purple elephant?

    Ok so the general idea (recycled from "readwebs" from that time I played as a spider) is to put people I trust closer to me, and try to make scum far from me and (theoretically) close to each other.

    You see me, the nose wearing my sunglasses with a mustache sticker.

    You see nearest to me cobalt the Buddha and vaimes the cobra-in-a-walnut. They can get as close as they like.

    And then the next range out: waco the green cowboy, Jan the cymbal monkey, fonti the lion.

    And then only slightly further but kind of behind is gemma, the tiny purple elephant atop a box of Chinese fireworks. I think I'll let that speak for itself

    Moving out: jari the California raisin, thug the grenade thrower, shadow the sith, Newcomb the inkbottle, stanari the eeyore, DC the chip and/or dale
    --- Post automerged ---
    Also stanari I want you to know I own several birds that I could have made you, and you got an eeyore from a 90s happy meal
    --- Post automerged ---
    So, I spent some time moving those around until they felt right to me.

    Some of it is directly meaningful, like wanting shadow/waco far apart, or Newcomb near jari.
    Some of it makes sense if you don't think about it too much, like wanting Jan near the middle because he's townie but fits on most teams. Or Newcomb near the edge because him being scum, while not a strong read either way really, is representative of an alternate world

    Some of it makes none at all, like switching the figures for Jan and jari because I wanted it to look like jari was tooting his horn for thug.



    I... Don't think this was wildly successful. My reads are generally weak enough that this felt kind of form over function.
    Perhaps when I feel more strongly later on, or come up with a different method of display

    Well, I haven't heard anything about meta SCUMreads backfiring, so I'm game!

    That said, did Waco do better D1 of Princess than he is playing here, in your opinion?

    I actually feel pretty let down by that. The web was great and that was nowhere close.

    I'm going through the motions rn.

    Gonna reread a bit til i fall asleep

    I'm not really a good person to ask because I was more focused on the scum agenda. Everyone feels super town when I'm mafia :V
