So far I'm liking Rajam's content the best, and I'm liking Kary's the least. I don't see how her questions could lead to anything valuable. Rajam's baiting seems more genuine. That's where I'm sitting at now
Rajam what's your take on Kary
Looks like buddying
soup, any elaboration on this? can Maven be behind this?
Oddly specific question for so early in the game, and also considering Hando suggested Xatres was equally likely based on his meta reasoning
I think there is bigger fish to fry atm. I'm watching of course, but I'm willing to let him be for the moment. His interaction with soup doesn't seem SvS tho; Kary's intention to read soup seemed genuine
I'd still shoot Frozen/Xatres
^ Is in response to Maven's question "Rajam what's your take on Kary"
This is such a softball answer. Seems like scumbuddies trying to slow pitch opportunities to create town seeming content. Rajam's answer seems really forced/artificial.
Could be early bussing but this feels more like a genuine attempt to correct a misunderstanding/mis-statement.
I'm at work all day but Rajam is coasting on the early town reads and Frozen is being silly and comes off trying to protect Xatres.
And the flip begins. This is an abrupt change. No buildup. Just "welp Rajam has crossed the "coasting" line." You'd think if someone was approaching that limit for Maven we'd have heard more about it and been able to see that read naturally deteriorate. Seems opportunistic, like an eagerness to bus.
Frozen/Xatres combo is something I considered, Frozen seemed to be doing the same thing he was accusing me of doing, and was pushing me when the only options were Xatres/Me, making pushing me a soft Xatres defense.
My other two choices for scum are Soup/Rajam. I felt Rajam was active enough early on to try and get conversation going (I'm assuming he liked every post in the hopes people would talk about why he liked every post), but then he vanished, and while he came back and posted good information it's entirely possible he's scum and tried to coast on his early town reads, and his return is rather late. Could easily be RL issues, could be scum coasting. While I gave him an early town read I don't believe he currently deserves any hard town read. He hasn't done anything scummy either, so I'm considering him an unlikely partner to Xatres, higher chance if Xatres is town.
Soup is rather null, but I don't see anything inherently scummy in what Soup is doing, he's asking questions and getting involved, I think Rajam is pushing Soup too hard if he thinks any of the Soup points paint him scum.
Kary being scum is very unlikely to me, but it's the last option available and so if Xatres is town I'll look closer at her, right now we seem to be vibing so I'm town reading the slot.
Wow bus is in full force now. This also seems unnatural and forced to me.
Frozen do you still Maven could be the play? I wonder how much the question Maven did factors/factored in your perception of him. Also, what do you think of the Maven-soup exchange from Day 1? could it be a disconnection (aka not SvS)?
More rajam/maven connection. Trying to undercut my gut read here? Not sure why rajam was so concerned with Maven anyway. Maybe rajam decided to start bussing rajam here to make sure he would also get towncred if maven went down before him?
Kary, would you shoot frozen Y/N?
Seems like a very strange question to ask a scummate. This assumes scum have daychat which I think is probably necessary for this game to be fair considering there is no night phase and scum can't ever kill. Nothing in the rules suggests that scum don't get day chat and the fundamental rules make room for it. ("4.) Unless your role PM specifically allows you the power, you are not to communicate with anyone about this game outside of this game thread. This includes posting content outside of the game thread and linking to it in the game thread.")
Could be artificial fluffing between mates but my gut isn't leaning that way.
Maven, care to explain why my being shot for being chill with the idea of being shot is scummy, but you being okay with getting the gun yourself is not?
This was a particularly powerful post IMO that I completely overlooked until this read through. Great question. Especially when this is the follow up:
If Xatres is here there's no reason to give me the gun, I was frustrated with nothing happening and would have preferred Xatres just giving me the gun then having to convince an inactive to shoot Soup. If he's here then that plan is done, only benefit to me giving me the gun now is that if I'm right I can post an evil dead gif
Backs off of being shot when the out presented itself. This is a fatal crack in the "lololol shoot me w/e I'm town and will live no problemo" bluff IMO
lmao where did this confidence come from? Especially on a player he completely 180'd on midway though? Seems like a last attempt to distance and setup for bus cred.
Yeah this is enough for me. I've read both of y'alls endgame comments too but I don't like to give those too much weight because they are necessarily posturing and y'all both have more information that I do (i.e. you both know the other must be scum from your perspective).
Kary if you're scum you did a great job distancing from Rajam by omission. I'm a bit hesitant because I've been on a streak of misreading scum as town because they were seeing eye to eye with me most of the game but I think the record in this game has enough Maven/Rajam interaction to justify this call. Maybe I'm getting beat by minimalist scum play, coasting, and blinding myself by letting myself townread people with similar reactions/opinions to my own but **** it, I'd feel like a real idiot if I shot Kary and let Maven/rajam win when it seems so much more obvious. If it's Kary/Rajam well then I just got legitimately outplayed. /shrug
Let's hope I break my streak of getting outplayed...
Shot 4 Shot: Maven
gg all, sorry for my general lack of activity due to repeated V/LAs. Reallllly hoping I'm not letting town down here. All in all I had fun with this short little game, hope you all did too on some level.
