I've played mason a couple of times. It's a good way to build a jumping point for a core but we still need to get some rapport going, especially since this is a bastard game. Trust but verify, you know.

Do you think there is anything there with Zeke or is it just more of a Zeke being Zeke thing?

Tbh, I don't know. Last game Zeke was scum and he was bullheaded in the same way, I don't know if that's ai. It might not be.

I disliked how he came into today being so negative which I thought was completely unnecessary, but he's also not making any friends. I'm null here, I'd want to keep an eye on him more and see if other people connect to him.
 

Verelios

Tough, tough. I'm trying to draw up a town list and don't have anyone on it yet.

People I don't want voted out rn:
Ty
Chuggs
Haw
You

Those are my want to keep going group.

I think Kop and Zipped are...fine? Middle of the pack but nothing pops out to me with their responses.
 

Hedin

I don't think Kop has anything one way or another, pretty much a blank slate there. Zipped has been a little more active but still not a ton either.

Your list is pretty much my list currently, I'm trying not to read too much into Chugg's initial reaction when I was bringing up Swamped. Speaking of Swamped you have anything there? I'm not tunneling yet but I can see the entrance so if you think I might be looking in the wrong direction just shout.

Nothing yet, there's not much there. She mentioned Ty and Haw as scum reads so I'm going to wait and see how she ends up leaning at EoD and whether she's consistent. The synchronicity reasoning is odd but it's whatever for me.

I feel like we're going to brush up against a lot of blank slates this game. The only silver lining is that bastard games mean some amount of fuckery and we don't need solely need activity.

I hope we don't, it's a really good roster with people I know who can positively contribute so I hope they all do.

Thought Swamped came out OK this morning so probably backing off that for now but Chugg is now giving me an irrational itch based on how he approached Swamped. I think you called it in that you and Zeke were just incompatible last night, I don't think I currently see scum, that's NAI for him.

Absolutely no idea where to go currently.

I hope so too, I'm just going off of last game.

Swamped came out ok...her reasoning for scum reading Ty took my by surprise, though I don't think scum Swamped uses such a thing. Chuggs protecting Swamped was weird, as was Zeke doing similarly over her short entrance. Something to take note of I guess.

I am completely stumped on where to go. No one seems like the correct decision.
 

Verelios

Were-elios
It's interesting that ATP likes Ty's entrance while Swamped thinks it's scummy. Hmmmm, I think we're missing some reads.

I don't think Salva ever responded to me asking about who he likes. He hasn't really made a stance this game anyway except commenting on Ty overly townreading people.
 

Verelios

Ugh, I don't know if I think Zeke is scummy or I just dislike his playstyle. It's entirely possible he plays this way as town and scum.

That would suck, but I do get the feeling we're good targets for a NK unless scum want us to kick around as I can't see us being protected.
 

Verelios

Damn, I'm so unsure about Swamped now. Gift giver should also be confirmable...maybe we should have went HP?
 

Verelios

Were-elios
I really don't get why he confirmed her like that as scum, weird play.

Chugg is in play now too.
Probably trying to save her. Her power doesn't seem scum at all so if people quickly jumped to me suddenly after his claim she'd be kind of townread.
 

Hedin

Oops, All Scum!

I knew it! What do you think of Haw and nin now?

With nin and little side eye that he said he was steering clear of you and Zeke but then voted your way in the end. I think that vote tied you for the lead so it needs some scrutiny. He didn't really give thoughts on others either.

Thorny I'm iffy about. I don't like she had the wrong reasoning behind her vote for me and didn't pivot when corrected. But she did really tie herself to Swamped in a way that makes it weird if they are scum together.

That's true. I'm conflicted on Haw, she got some things wrong and was hyping up Swamped all day but she didn't move to save her (maybe she wasn't here?) and it would be incredibly unnecessary to tie themselves together like you said.
If it's him good chance I die tonight.

Ty and Geno probably clear right? That does not seem like a bus situation.
Ty and Geno are good, a bus in that situation makes no sense. Hmmm, I'd say Ty gets more credit here, Ty could have switched to me or HP at any time but he didn't.

I'm still not sure where he is on the town scum spectrum, I need to go over his Swamped stuff more, but I trust that he's not going to blow both of us away tonight.

His current reads (roughly paraphrasing and organizing here):

Zeke - weird but seems too weird to be a scum play
Geno - thinks if there is a bus on Swamped its Geno because he could see Geno doing a throw away vote like that on a teammate.
Vere - he town reads you currently
nin - thinks nin's vote on you looks bad
Salva - not a fan of his basically no vote
Thorny - could be scum stacking on me but more than likely wrong town
ATP - thinks is ok based on not trying to save Swamped
Zipped and HP - not much there, thinks HP is slightly worse but thinks they were both apathetic

Kop has "good vibes", thinks there is more than likely to be something there with HP than Kop.
That's interesting. It sounds like he's down on HP.

I wonder what excuse Zeke will come up with, or if he'll go full open wolf. Should probably start going over Zeke/Swamped connections and post them here so if I die you can have them.
 

Verelios

Were-elios
So, let's look at Zeke. He very early on opened up with saying that he didn't see any posts of substance before him, except for Swamped who asked Chuggs
So why nin in particular? I don't recall you asking anyone else for their scum reads?
1. I didnt ask for ppl doing "something", I said specifically ppl that were solving.
2. All those posts look like nothing to me. The only one that looks townie imo, is Swamped's question. You have nin in there when it seemed like you caught him in a lie when he made that statement? So why would he get town points for that?
A low ball why ask Nin that isn't followed up by her but is in his opinion the only townie post. This forms the basis of his strong Swamped town read.

Here is where I feel Zeke starts to try and discredit others. I'm unsure if it was to shade Ty or try to keep options open.
Going further into Ty's list of ppl that "did something" today.





Reads like a joke post





Surface level read, doesnt go into detail about why the posts are good. No one bothers to ask what about Ty's posts are good







Decent read for day 1 imo





Question doesnt really go anywhere





I read this as a joke post



Nin's post was like surface level stuff as well.
He comments that my question to Nin doesn't really go anywhere, but it answers the three people nin feels most comfortable with atm and Zeke is among them. Nin then goes on to join Zeke on me after saying he wouldn't, which proves that it was accurate.

He does a PIK and puts Swamped as his protect target, presumably because of the same initial town read:
Having ppl do a PIK wouldve been better for discussion as well instead of just picking two top towns.

Here Verelios ,I'll start
P: Swamped
I: Ty - I could see all the questioning as busywork
K: HP - Jumped in on the response to Ty about "solving in the first 24hrs" and nothing much after
Pages later, while he had HP as his kill target, he soon starts canvassing for me as a vote. Moves HP from his kill slot and puts me in, nothing changed, Swamped is still is top town. I am his only scum read for the rest of D1, his only read really besides Swamped being town, but we'll get to that.
So you dont really have a read for putting Vere in your top town spot. They just there because they can be an easy misvote? Interesting. Wouldnt I also be in that group?


What about HP? You don't think HP has done the same?


Take out Hp from my kill slot and put you in there.


I dont think anything about. I asked Ty specifically about it because he pressured me for poppin in only when I was mentioned. You did the same thing so wondered how he felt about it. Especially since he said he was willing to let your day 1 slide due to meta.


So one of us has to be scum for you then? Who do you think is scum?
What do you think of me asking Vere why he isnt voting for me or pushing me if he thinks I am following my scum meta from last game?
What do you think of vere having no scumreads?


What's interesting about that? Is it because you scumread Ty already or something else?
I was also on Ty before I started pressuring Vere.
This is one part (asking what to think about me not having solid scum reads now) that made me pause. Zeke has no scum reads beyond me, and HP was used as a placeholder scumread without reason. It's incredibly hypocritical of him here.
Before this happens however, Swamped makes these posts:
Zeke VS Vere is more typical and possibly reveals more. Is it a TvT? I feel not because this massive interaction didn't even end with a vote from either side even though it's day end today.
Oh and instead, Zeke goes for Ty. Interesting.
That's gearing up to make a stance on 'one' of us for a vote. The second post might seem like Swamped is suspicious of Zeke but it never comes to anything. I'm pretty sure this was used to distance them.

Doesn't mention Zeke again until these posts:
I thought it was interesting because I kinda scum read Ty myself. So I feel a little more towny about you.

At this point though, I'm actually not sure either of you are scum, especially with your votes on each other. But gun to my head, if I had to vote either of you I'd vote Vere.
The first part is bullshit. She found it interesting because Zeke went for Ty and not me, the context is right there. The fact that she had to swivel it to townread Zeke and scum read me speaks volumes.
I don't really like using meta to read people. I treat every game like it's own. But to me Zeke has always been a premium town or scum player. Many times I haven't guessed he's scum until literally the last day. I am town reading him for now though.
Keeps her options open but ultimately town reads Zeke.

EoD comes around and Zeke asks me this question on what other scum reads I have:
Also vere, let's say I'm off the table for you today..........who would you place a vote for instead?

Do you want to pressure them a bit? Or just keep your vote on me? Swamped is currently here.
What dont you like about Salva's posts today?
You can see Zeke is rattled here when I mention Swamped, it should be obvious why I don't like Salva's posta but he feels the need to say something. Interestingly he tries to discredit my Swamped read almost immediately. Accepts Salva without issue:
Could you pull those posts from Swamped about Ty you didnt like? Or tell me their post numbers?

sy3GQt9.gif




I was just curious when swamped moved into his scum list because he he no one listed earlier when I asked him for two scum reads.
Now let's look at this scummoning:
Sure, havent seen anything scummy in her posts.

Swamped you claiming? You said you would vote Vere earlier, are you going to do it now to save yourself?
I'm here! Where are all these votes on me coming from?

Do I tie the vote though?

VOTE: Verelios

I'm a gift giver. No idea what my gifts do. I'm going to give it to my one of my town reads
Tags Swamped and asks her to claim while voting for me. For one, with Swamped's odd change in mood towards Zeke and two, knowing on her flip that she's a gift giver, it's readily apparent that scum was banking on her being confirmable and getting town read by giving out gifts. As for why they wanted to misvote me, I can only think Zeke was the architect here.

Sadly it took a while for Swamped to make it here.

Sure, if that's how you want to read that.
Here, I ask him for his scum reads and this is how Zeke responds. I also ask him where he'd go if I flip town and he ignores the question. Reminder, this is the same question he asked me earlier, so why doesn't he want to answer. To not give out more information than necessary.

In a last ditch effort to switch the train to me from Swamped Zeke goes full out:
SWITRCH TO VERE
I CAN CONFRIM SWAMPED

Swamped is telling the truth about he gift giver, swithc to Vere
He was probably hoping for one of Ty, ATP, or Chuggs to switch over when he claimed he knew she was telling the truth, but they didn't, and now he's holding the bag having confirmed that he not only knew she was a PR, but that she was a giftgiver.

This man is scum as fuck. +1 for my gutreads.

Yeah I was just trying to find a way to give you an early heads up if I died which it appears that I am still kicking so that's good.

As for Chugg I think he's likely ok but there was enough Swamped defense, or at least lack of interest in pursuing that would prevent me from coring him.

Yeah, I'm going to assume we're still alive since neither of us has been kicked out. As for Chuggs, I'm interested in what direction he goes today (I'm guessing he might start questioning Haw and HP) but I'm not worried he's a bad actor currently.

Verelios

Yeah, Salva is trending up for me. He came out and did a lot of work that he really didn't have to on a thunderdome day, I can believe he really was busy D1 although a heads up would have been nice.

It does feel kind of empty? Like, even if I want to get into Kop and Haw, if they're not here it's a bit hard. HP is hmmm...there's little there and it's tough getting him to open up but his responses to me just now are kinda weird, the weird that makes me think he's fine? He basically said there could be scum in all three people with him and it's not as if that was really necessary. He seems pretty unsure when it would be easier to make a stronger stance today. At least it wouldn't make the other 3 sideeye you.
 

Hedin

With Kop I want to see how he reacts when he comes in, I think he's Australian IIRC so timezones are a factor there. But yeah its hard because three of the people in the thunderdome really aren't playing that much so not much to discuss currently.

Zeke has yet to produce content about anything other than me, and even then, it's mainly a reaction. He doesn't feel like he's scum hunting at all, and the way he ducked last night is so bad.

Asking people to focus on something other than him and walking away when he's entirely focused on himself...is an amazing amount of hubris.

Going to be completely honest, her quick turn around on Zeke has me wondering what to think. Like, when she said she still saw Zeke as town having most of the facts, and then turned around when Zeke hard railed against her feels weird. As if she didn't expect him to turn on her. Which...I do find it strange that Zeke has pretty much only went after her despite having HP in his kill slot D1. I don't know, I'd need to go back to D1 and see what interactions Haw and Zeke had.
