I was about to say that given that I've always found you very difficult to read from tot chat, it'd be good to real-time with you, but I also don't know how useful that would be when you've read basically nothing

Can I encourage you to get some sleep?

I am literally in bed waiting for the high of finishing a difficult assignment to pass lol

I think Alissa is lock town

 

[supershorty]

I think Alissa is lock town

Por quoi?

I also think she's town, which depending on what pages you haven't read, you may know is a new experience for me.

I actually think she's town because of how she's bouncing off of fruit in a way I think is a very sort of natural way for town to do

 

[Clem J]

I also see her reading the thread in a weird order based on her reactions which I'm choosing to consider townie

 

[supershorty]

Hmm, I think that opinion shows too much evidence to be called unfounded.

What other strong opinions do you have?

I really want apop to be town

I kinda think zenge is mafia

 

[Clem J]

Sorry that's not very strong, what I meant to say is

Zenge is lock mafia never reconsider better just kill him now

 

[alissa14]

unyeet zenge

Not that I don't think it's a valid vote but I don't want a runaway wagon d1

Going to mildly rein in silly goosery this morning (sad face) and may revisit pending day posts after my final in a few hours.

Hmmmmm I dislike this. 3 votes is hardly a wagon.

What are your thoughts on the rapid succession of switching with no reasoning, and sometimes to people who hadn't even posted yet (like when he voted SAR and Barky within the first 30 minutes of the thread being open)?

Scum-motivated or muppeting about?

Based on what I continued to see and read what others posted, I’m inclined to lean fruit more town. I voted based off my initial impression of fruit. However, it seems bouncing about is more their play-style. I have taken this into consideration.

Unyeet fruit

 

[alissa14]

This has some actual analysis in it, but I don't want Alissa to click it until she's answered my question - however, I don't trust myself to retain the thought in my brain for later, and I don't care if the rest of y'all read it now lol.

Spoiler: Alissa, don't read this until...

Spoiler: you've answered the question

Spoiler: No, I'm serious

From my perspective, having never played with fruit but modded some of the games he's played, I feel like that level of vote throwing is less likely to be scum-motivated because it's very attention-getting and he never stayed on anyone long enough for anything resembling a wagon to form. I don't see a lot of benefit for scum to do that, especially in this game where scum can just scum hunt like they're village because THEY don't know what else is in the game either.

Since I've never been particularly good at reading alissa, I want to try and explore her thought processes more, because sleeping on it didn't leave me with any more solid understanding of why I feel like she's towny when I've never felt that way before.

Okay I was able to rein in my impulsive streak and answer the question you presented before revealing. Your reasoning does make sense here

 

[Clem J]

I did this in the last game, and I'm just not gonna bother this time

This is mafia lock it in folks

 

[supershorty]

I really want apop to be town

You know, in some of my role PM ramblings to myself, I was also saying this because the vibe I got from her last night was excited town getting into the format of this game - I don't think her posting the spreadsheet when I'd explicitly asked people not to do that was anything other than excitement.

... Clem, are you in my head?

 

[supershorty]

Proud of you.

I hope not, the controls for my own head are confusing enough I can't imagine trying to learn them for someone else's too

Also I feel special with all those spoilers meant just for me

When you want to scumread me in 1-4 business days I will remember this moment and look on it fondly

idk I'm inclined to town lean you at the moment, in part because you seem to be seeing the game very similarly to me

 

[Clem J]

I motion for dubz and shorty to both lock me town and keep me alive

Why not samac?

If Clem turns out to be scum, I will look back at this and weep, though less so than if this were a more traditional setup.

Yeah for now but when I fall off the face of the earth and it's been a minute since we realtimed you'll start doubting that and second guessing it until you're thinking things like "wait, why DO I townread Clem?" And "what has Clem ACTUALLY done, anyways?" Or maybe "reading his iso he really doesn't look great..." and it'll all go downhill from there 😛

 

[Clem J]

Why not samac?

Too much sibling energy, I need my scary aunts to keep me safe

You've never seriously played with me! You don't know me!

though that does sound like me

I know me and I know how it goes 😛

 

[supershorty]

I'm scary?? 🥺

That doesn't hit me in the soul quite as hard as when PSV's noob class played with me for the first time and this interaction happened:

@supershorty Who was your manator?

I was a wolf in my noob game, so technically I had 3 wolfators (AM, genny, and vetmedhead), but AM and I have talked the most about WW since then, so I consider myself her tee primarily.

That makes sense. I'm filing you under "AM-style scary."

I'm not sure which react to use for this post.

 

[Clem J]

In a good "I need a fierce shorter person to be active on my behalf because I'm too tall to do it" way tho

 

[Clem J]

I can say fierce or feisty instead if you don't like scary tho I don't want to make you sad 🥺

 

[supershorty]

I can say fierce or feisty instead if you don't like scary tho I don't want to make you sad 🥺

I just want to be scary for the right reasons, I'm trying (and failing, I think) not to be as intense of a player as I was pre-retirement because it was too much and I'm worried about scaring the nooblets.

 

[Clem J]

Ok im gonna try to pass out now see you all when I'm back to trying to finish enough assignments to justify going to pathfinder tonight 🫡

 

[Clem J]

Well I would say being scary in my defense is extremely the right reason, and I have an objective view of that😛

 

[SARdoghandler]

Oh no I slept and have to read 9 pages now 😭

 

[supershorty]

Oh no I slept and have to read 9 pages now 😭

HI SAR

 

[Clem J]

It's also giving me a weird parallel to when I say "If I offend someone I want it to be on purpose, there's nothing worse than being rude by accident"

Same vibe idk

 

[Clem J]

I finished one more assignment so I get one poop post. As a treat.

Why did you like unlike and relike this spurs

Was it too hilarious not to laugh twice

 

[supershorty]

Oh no I slept and have to read 9 pages now 😭

If it helps, everything I have said in those 9 pages is extremely important and game-advancing content, and I'm much of the 9 pages!

Why don't you want to read my poasts 🙁

 

[SARdoghandler]

Why don't you want to read my poasts 🙁

It means I have to actually read instead of skimming and pretending

 

[GoSpursGo]

Why did no one make fun of this last night, missed opportunity.

I believe we have now established I am blind to typos

 

[supershorty]

I'm off to class now, so we're all safe from me bloating the thread for the next 2 hours.

 

[beans2020]

Some morning thoughts b4 I have to leave for school: I'm taking fruit and Clem off of today's yeet list bc I really don't think either of them is scum currently.
Kitz and rae both have my interest atm - kitz bc of her reaction to shorty's aff exercise (I don't know if that was confusion or slight scum panic). Rae because I'm mildly suspicious of her claim that she used vanillager for aff. This may be a "beans not understanding CYO strategy" thing so if it is feel free to smack me but literally so many people have either discarded vanillager OR claimed to use it as aff - how likely is it that that many players were offered it as a role?

 

[SARdoghandler]

Anyway, was drafting this in my role PM earlier for the people who haven't played CYO before.

Strategic things I've learned from previous CYOs:

Each time I've played CYO, it's been encouraged (first year by someone else, second year by me) for everyone to claim what role they used for AFFILIATION pretty early on. I wasn't sure about it the first year, but last year, it caught multiple people in lies (well, multiple people in the same lie lol #googate22 #electricgoogaloo). I will keep track of claims and make a public list once EVERYONE has claimed - if you want to keep track on your own, feel free, but PLEASE DO NOT POST A LIST OR RUNNING LIST UNTIL EVERYONE HAS CLAIMED, as it will make it harder to catch someone in a lie.

THIS IS TALKING ABOUT YOUR CHOICE FOR AFFILIATION, NOT ABILITY. DO NOT CLAIM YOUR ABILITY ROLE.

I used miller for my affiliation.

Also, I don't find speculation based on discards to be super helpful - if someone hates being scum and they discarded a scum role, for example, you don't know that they discarded it in favor of choosing a town role; they may just have rolled 3 scum. I don't think there's NO information to be gained from looking at people's discards - after all, you can help rule out some roles in the game pending what was discarded, but use a lot of caution attributing anything about affiliation to a discard choice.

I used town seer for affiliation

 

[Clem J]

town seer

Yeah ok makes sense

for affiliation

Hm hm hm ok, ok

I'm starting reading from the beginning of thread so I may not be understanding this correctly but I think the way the set up works is that the numbers on the role sheet are how many of that role can exist in a game. So there could be up to 12 vanilla townies rolled into the game?

 

[SARdoghandler]

Yeah ok makes sense

Hm hm hm ok, ok

Pls clem I hate seers and that's why every one in my games is useless

 

[GoSpursGo]

This is mafia lock it in folks

So I misread this last night--I thought shorty was talking about filling out a big-ass spreadsheet including reads and timing of votes and whatnot. I did that last game (when I was scum) and it took waaaay too much time. I will almost certainly keep track of tallies though, the inner mod in me is too compulsive to not have some idea of where the votes stands, even without threat of the hammer.

I was actually just walking into the office and weighing the pros and cons of going back and re-reading last night to see how it looks like not in real time BUT SOMEONE FINISHED ALL OF THE OFFICE COFFEE AND NOW I HAVE TO WALK TO BUY STARBUCKS LIKE A PLEBE

I just want to be scary for the right reasons, I'm trying (and failing, I think) not to be as intense of a player as I was pre-retirement because it was too much and I'm worried about scaring the nooblets.

I'm not reading what you're saying as intense! Reads like someone who hasn't played in a while who has come back and is settling in like a nice warm blanket 🙂

Fat fingers. You can safely assume that whenever I do something ridiculous with the reacts, or post a sentence that ends in the middle of a thought, that the answer is I am old and
