13p Matrix 14 (No Multiball) Game Thread [GAME OVER]

M2H's towncore/scumpile on page 11 has problems already mentioned. Curious how he decided on positions for me/Moody/Clarinet/Energy there; currently think there's TMI involved.

Hannah gives me bad vibes for reasons I can't explain well; her fixation on not reading DS (either due to a lack of content or inability to accurately do so) doesn't feel natural.
isoed Fenrir's tiny pool of posts and this one stood out to me. Regarding the bottom line just want to say that town Hannah used the same line of not wanting ti try to read DS in my 451 game with her. So I think that's one of the weakest reasons ever to scumread Hannah. Obviously I have an agenda in wanting to keep other people who might be willing to vote Hannah out later alive for now, but his effort in the thread is so small and overall his posts feel like he's tiptoeing instead of contributing.
 
but as a real comment, the fact that DS didn't actively push me while I was alive, and the fact that Duskfall at the very least has not decided that I should die should give you pause. If you think I'm scum, you basically have to pair me with Duskfall and to think Duskfall is scum you have to believe that both hal and DS got him wrong. It honestly doesn't make any sense to continue to be paranoid over my slot and I think if you compare this game to my previous scum game on site or even my best scum play on mafia 451, this play is much different and more in line with my town play.
 
yeah, but not Ellibereth levels of mini, please

I honestly don't know what you expect me to say. Anything that I could say to support me being town just based on my play is self-meta and if I know what my town game looks like to the extent that I can describe WHY I'm towny, then I know my town game good enough to fake it.

are you still not alive now? :thonk: know what you meant, but just wondering wut was your logic in making the typo when you made it?

Also, what happens if dusk wants to lynch you today? Does that mean I should listen to him and lynch you too?

*while DS was alive.

I mean, of course not. Whether Dusk can read me correctly or not, or whether he's scum and decides to bury me--that doesn't change my role PM. As a general rule of thumb though? If you were going to sheep somebody on my slot you should be sheeping people like Dusk.
 
im kinda at the point where I'm not so sure how much I like you other than the fact that your POE is pretty decent (with the obvious exception of me being in it ofc)

Yeah but describing your **actions** as having towny **intent** is a whole lot easier when they were actually made with towny.

Player makes a post. Player's post has an agenda. Not always is that agenda apparent. But backtracking and making up a towny reason for that agenda is arguably harder than being a towny and actually just explaining your thought process more clearly. I get you said you do stream of consciousness posting sometimes, but even that doesn't show everything.

If you're used to stream of consciousness posting like you say you are, then just stream of consciousness away on a defense post instead of saying "no i can't defend myself."
 
you scumread clarinet but didn't feel strong enough to vote him at any point. as late as sunday evening for me you had clarinet as "vaguely towny". and you really only changed because a wagon was formed, as far as I can tell.

you can't say you "scumread" clarinet because nothing you said indicated that you legitimately scumread him, more that he was a lynch you were ok with. i'm not saying it's wrong to constantly hedge but on the whole you avoided taking a strong stance on him or me. you didn't have a clear preference one way or the other and only participated in the vote change because that's where your vote had been the whole time.

I didn't vote Clarinet because he was at L-2/L-1 basically the entire time that I was active on Sunday. I expressed the fact that Clarinet fakes being a PR as vt/scum, and that I didn't really buy the soft. I felt that Clarinet expressing constant paranoia at my slot for no reason without actually giving a consistent read on me was fillery and similar to what he did in popcorn. Like I have posts and development on Clarinet if you actually read it.

And yeah, clarinet wasn't even really my favorite lynch yesterday, but the things that you're criticizing me for just don't make sense if you actually have any context in terms of reading my posts.

shrug? bruh we have people like apricity who want to lynch you today and I'm giving you a chance to speak. if you're actually a towny, then I don't see why you'd suddenly change your opinion on me when I clearly didn't trust you day 1 and made that known but you still towncored me and that's still my position now. I haven't changed much since then, have you?
I'm sorry bro but I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.
it means at the very least as a towny, a player should be able to defend yourself with all the reasoning behind your reads or posts. Maybe I'm asking for a regurgitation of past points you made coupled with your current thoughts, but I want the focus to just keep around you. Think of it as isoing yourself maybe?

In any event you should clearly see you're in a potential hotseat right now if townleader hal is actively considering going after you.
 
A better question would be:

"I think you could be scum M2H, here's why. Can you explain why I'm wrong from your point of view?"

Otherwise all I can do is try to self-meta and that doesn't accomplish anything at all. Tell me why I'm bad.

I didn't change my opinion on you. You're town, I just think your request makes no sense.
 
"I think you could be scum M2H, here's why. You started defending me as pure very early on with an unnatural level of confidence. Your current vote for energy is done so with nothing to back it other than countervote logic. You are refusing to defend yourself, saying that it's pointless for a player to defend themselves because they'd know their playstyle so it would be moot, but it comes across as you just not willing to go out of your way saying something that could expose you as scum / it feels like you're tight rope walking here on day 2. Can you explain why I'm wrong from your point of view?"

smh, even following your question format makes me feel icky. it feels like a defendant in a case actively saying no to answer a prosecutor's questions and getting to make up their own question instead. which yeah you should be able to use your own questions and answers as part of your defense, but doing so in a way that shields you from what someone is asking from you in the first place / lets you dodge stuff is weird.

Not sure how much I buy any of the stuff that you just don't understand what I'm doing.

your posts prior to me calling you pure
Howdy, doggo is reporting for duty. Time to sniff out some crime!
Scum's going to have it ruff this game due to Texas's great reads.
Hannahh I hope you neighborize me or give me fruit.
are spiderman games fun?
ty, will pay you back later
crap this isn't mafia 451 and mark up doesn't work.

lynch apricity

same reasoning as above post.
In all likelihood I'll prolly push for the day 1 lynch of the least active player, so townies pls post heckin good posts at a heckin high frequency.
townies, don't get bamboozled pls :c

I've seen your town game before, both times pretty up close. I've never seen your scum game, but after you made these posts you already exuded a level of innocence and a lack of self consciousness that I would associate with scum that as a preliminary read I felt pretty good about putting you in the strong category. I get that it can be a little demeaning to be titled obvious town, and I've been there, but honestly until you bamboozle me in a game I'm going to feel pretty comfortable giving a high confidence read on you very early on. If you do happen to be scum right now, hats off to you, and I guess I won't underestimate you in future games.

If you look at the sum total content than Energy has put into the game so far, there really isn't anything aside from a relatively decent start of d1 (accusing DS of having slipped). I honestly kind of forgot that he was in the game at all until he hopped in to vote moody which is an ok vote I guess? Except it kinda just seems like Energy entered the thread as a reaction to being placed in apricity's POE, and instead of--as you are pressing me to do--defending himself or his read, he places a vote on Moody and leaves.

I really don't think you have any basis in saying that I'm afraid of posting, or defending my reads. I'm one of the main people driving discussion in the thread, I just think that having to go through my own ISO and defend myself as town is silly.
