Fair point in flyhn, personally wondering why he hasn’t done any isos recently maybe threadcgrew too long?
I don't even want isos I want further engagement like he puts in a lot of work to look like he's doing stuff but in reality very little impact on the game and doesn't out much reads on people which bacially allows him to do whatever he wants

it's giving mafia struggling to fake reads to me

Didn’t Ehmcee say he was gonna fire out of the top 3 vote targets or something? I don’t remember anyone scumreading skipper since the start of like phase 2 so I’m p sure skipper was not up there

hi cel thoughts on being voted rn
IDC but think it is notable to solving because this game has kinda loosely devolved into two factions and I’m p sure one of those factions is maj scum + losing influence except people don’t care about this game that much and so the losing influence doesn’t really matter considering people just side with the loudest voice on the most recent page usually

P sure I can solve this game in lategame with all scum in a pool + ~15% of pool town but if I do it now it’ll just be ignored even if I get ICed and shoot correctly once so I’m not rlly bothering

I’ve said this before but still feel like Clouds, Texas, and Flyhn are on 3 very different trajectories this game despite being similar player archetypes otherwise (providing a bunch of reads that are largely novel and steer direction to a point but also most people in the game are just ignoring them at least publicly which then makes it more notable that the takes get picked up again later and implies they discussed the takes in scumchat then dripfed the desirable ones again later in the game).

Flyhn was hard sussed early but wasn’t really doing the ostensibly dense content posting at that stage and sus died when they did but has since simmered beneath. Clouds was strangely hard sussed early by no other than Texas but Texas undermined the read consistently throughout the posting even soon after he brought it up, and Clouds is probably the most polarised slot in the game. Meanwhile Texas has just kinda been townread with occasional soft sussing.

There’s no shot all 3 are town, and 2 could be scum (probably not 3 imo) and learning which one of these are scum or town would sell out scum game plan a lot and be useful

who would you want to shoot the most rn
Selfish answer, I would shoot oj because he has never played with me and not hard tunnelled me, is doing the same now, is considered town by everyone despite a cliff drop off in content production, and I am far more useful to this game in end game than he is but once I start contributing he’s gonna do everything in his power to undermine me so

Granted also shouldn’t be oj because he’ll just misfire me immediately because he is apparently unable to townread me on a biological level in any game

The amount he got hard pushed town for his playstyle of curmudgeonry early on is artificial, but scum would artificially push that as either faction. Unreadable slot due to his own play

LS is similar to Texas in the “hard sold as town as a brute fact that is slowly tapering” and they have pushed similar takes at times, there’s very strong S/S potential here and it’s likelier for them to be S/S than any other relationship IMO but not by a long shot so eh. If one flips W shoot the other

realiti is the other most polarised slot in the game and needs to be shot at some point but my feeling with realiti is scum will have 50/50ed down the aisle if he is town (I guess 60/40ed or 40/60ed since AG died early). I don’t get the same vibe with Clouds probably because that slot has had notable momentum swings whereas realiti hasn’t so much

Oh I did completely forgot about JALMONT, haven’t found that slot that inspiring, I did townread Zippy based on thread dynamics but the likeliest reason Zippy subbed out his partner sussed him in-thread literally once and he threw a tantrum so since JALMONT hasn’t really picked up the slack that hard I actually think they are likelier scum since the sub-in. Would like someone to check players’ progresssions on Zippy in the 24 hours before sub out and I think it could be revealing. JALMONT can sub in over any of the names I just said in the towncore fairly easily I think, even LS / Texas since particularly Texas scum would definitely go for a LS pocket but I think LS prob does too if the team really was low content + AG + Clouds + Zippy lol
