    P.S. Fonti you never explained why you linked to a fantasystrike game where witches asked GD to claim pre-game, killed him early on, and one witch won the game similar to the way you almost won W3.

    Riley, you irk me so much. Really? This is where sadism comes in, pick a target and ask them questions. Spam the thread, post after they post, keep them from being able to even speak until they've responded to you. Go for an all out catfight or in your case dogfight.

    Snowvon, I think Riley is one of those people who can't be friends with cat lovers. It's a prejudice that our people will have to overcome one day. On a more serious note, can you also do your version of scumhunting?

    Ok, let's suppose I am confbiasing. I will tell you what makes me find you scummy. If you see it in my townreads, that is something that would naturally give me pause.

    1) Language association - Your taking ownership of scumminess and putting town in quotation marks reads scummy that way. Word choice matters a lot to me. Hence why I hate words like seems scummy. I almost always prefer anti-town there.

    2) What each slot knows...strategy. I found it impossible to believe you have no idea what a QT is. As such, asking was scummy. Players should act protown with info yhey have. If not, then I have scum or I am missing facts.

    No

    Re the fonti/vira thing are you suggesting that the whole interaction was preplanned or just that it seems scummy?

    Fonti, some questions have an immediate psychological reaction test and for the players that the immediate doesn't work on, it has value for later games.

    Also, I love seeing the way people lie. I mean this is basically a reality show, we're all contestants and part of our job is to create drama and soundbites. Or is that not the way you view the game?

    Oh hai there Bill, blab, Polysemous, disposables....are you a witch or aren't you a witch?

    Oh bill ninajed me in purple.

    Bill, I don't know if it was planned but something about it reads as red, danger, warning, to me. Something with one or both of them is off. I'm asking you since you were in the game and in a coven with Fonti so you might have some insight.

    Sarcasm and jokes really, really go over your head, OR you take everything stated as literal. The QT quote was a joke, the town/scumminess were sarcasm. Get it right and don't make false analysis. This is what happens when you take opinions and try to make them empirical evidence. I feel a sarcastic "duh" could go here, but I'm afraid you'll mistake it for a literal one.

    Tbh I also missed that Vira was in WH3, that game wasn't my finest hour. I may have repressed some parts. I can't see that as an interaction between two scum, scum are usually even more careful than normal when interacting with each other. Letting something as obviously wrong as vira not being in wh3 doesnt fit with that.

    Please explain both of these reads when you get back. Ideally without reference to Atum, Titus and blab.

    I find it really funny that most of the people from WH3 can't even remember Vira was totally a player? It's like it was so traumatizing your brains have blacked out those memories.

    You're the one who said you were writing bios and working down the list in the first place. Did you get bored?

    Okay, so, scrolling through pages 2-8. Let me see:

    No posts on page two...or three...oh, here we go.

    Starting on page 4: a post about the GD (at that point I didn't know it was Lyrium, so this doesn't really count); a reply to Lyrium, but it was a general question anyone could have answered. Total posts = 2.

    Page 5: More general talk about the GD (still didn't know it was Lyrium!); a response to Lyrium -- this is the first post so far that can really qualify as engaging with her; telling Lyrium to vote Lucky; a silly post about lynching people with moving avatars. Total posts = 4.

    Page 6: linking Lyruim to WH3; asking Rubicon a question. Total posts = 2.

    Page 7: I talk to and vote for Citrus; a post about (but not talking to) Lyrium and fonti; a reply to Lyrium and ika; another post to ika. Total posts = 4.

    Page 8: a response to blab, Bill, and Atum. Total posts = 1.

    I did all the work, so I'll let you do the easy part and tell me what you can conclude from this.

    Rvsing has always mean playing not too serious/joking around, not just random voting. And you've been doing a fair bit of that. Lyrium/Snowvon OTP.

    Nah. Fonti has played a lot of games here, I wouldn't be shocked if she forgot a game with Vira who doesn't play much/lurks a bit.

    Atum/Poly can't be on the same team, as they're both trying to misdirect off each other. Still feeling like Poly seems desperate to live though,

    Give some evidence/explain your reasoning if you want us to lynch Titus.

    Atum, play the game.

    Isn't scum hunting, it's a passive aggressive imply. :| Scumhunt.

    But yeah, sticking to Poly for now.

    Fonti, for someone who believes she's going to be dead day 2 or 3 you aren't fighting enough. Let's say you are a townie and end up dead, why would anyone follow your reads? Meh.

    Snowvon, yeah I sort of got bored but will try to get a few of them posted before toDay ends. Special people get a gif and a song. My love for post #348 is superlove.


    I'm not fond of lurkers. I'm especially not fond of people who have a vote on them and don't fight (unless you're a witch, then keep on lurking). Atum, Vira, Polysemous, blah.

    Rubicon, Rubi the mysterious one, are you a witch? Do you like witches? Do you like cauldrons?

    blab, have you solved the game yet?

    I am not a witch. I do like witches and cauldrons, though.

    You can totally trust me.

    Lyrium, I can't guarantee you that I do not in fact not possess the alignment opposite to the aligment that the informed minority possesses, but that is only because of my inability to guarantee, not because I actually do not possess the alignment that I can't guarantee you I possess.

    Counter-question: on a scale from 1 to 1, how useful do you think you are?

    Yes, I have solved it, but I want you guys to have fun, too.

    Check the amount of town-players from that game in this game vs. the amount of scum-players from that game in this one, and tell me if you think
    it was traumatizing.
    Btw, do you think Citrus is scum?



    Bill, I know you changed your stance, but I don't get how you derived a townread on Vira from that post at all. What were you looking for?



    fontisian, can we do Titus?

    In particular, I don't understand your reasoning re: bomb at all, for me it mostly showed that I was right about her intro post. I don't get your responses to Rubicon, regarding that, really.

    Mostly I don't like her valuation, it's off (and not in the "wtf? oh, it's Titus", but in the "that's scumPOV" way)
    See her intro-post, her anti-gd-stance, her hypoclaim-stace, how she values the inquisitor check in response to jester.

    Also I didn't like her my vote on her and calling me town...I feel buddied.
    I like some other stuff about her (mostly interaction with others), which is why I am waffling.

    So, why did you feel semi-good about her?

    Vira, what was your interpretation of this post:

    I was expecting her to respond with a completely different argument related to the bomb, considering her previous posts.

    On the scale of 1 to 1, useless of course. It's like being garnish, all form no function.

    Lyrium, I forgot to mention. I am a magician. I make scums brains explode with my magic.

    BD/Rubicon, you are stickng with Atum? Look at the other members of the wagon ; only BD and Rubicon town (weaker on Rubi). Now ika, me and lucky.

    Blab, what the fuck..I don't value an inquistor check. I wanted Lyrium to stay quiet as a rolefish D1 is horrible. It's clear you don't get things or are misrepping me.

    Poly and Atum are OMGUS. Vira's a lurksack. Lucky has some OMG meta which is weak as balls.

    ---------- Post automerged at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

    I'm pulling an ika. Keep things wifomed until need be.

    I have the bomb, for reals. Let's get suggestions on who I pass to.

    What were you expecting me to say?

    Dem tags.

    @Blab

    It's possible. He asked a lot of easy questions and never followed up on them. And his vote on Luckylee is just sort of there, like bird poop staining the town sidewalk.

    Plus he doesn't seem to care about my vote on him and that makes me sad. All I want is to be noticed.

    Also going to mention since toDay's lynch looks like it may be between Poly and Atum, I find Poly to be scummier. The part where he deflects pressure to ika was not spectacular. And saying he doesn't want to "confuse the town" with his reads. He scumreads blab/Titus/Atum and is very much aware he's scumreading people who are pressuring him.

    Oh Blab, you're my buddy. Let's go for a walk

    This is what I was referring with the inquisitor check thing. Unless I am severly misunderstanding you you advocate not wasting an inquisitor check to find out whether lynch trick or no trick was used.

    What exactly did you want to say here?

    ---------- Post automerged at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

    While you explain that, how will it be obvious if witch trick is used? I didn't get that either
