[Basic] Pirates of the Caribbean (Curse of the Black Pearl) Game Thread - D2

[Calder]

From what several of you said, Hellian sometimes does this. Does he come by only D2? Or not at all?

I will ask him once he drops into scum QT. Then get back to you.

[Sooh]

 

 

1. Zander - Doesn’t seem too different from the town games I’ve seen from him but someone give me some scum games of his to read cause I lack experience.

 

 

2. Darthe - snarky and sassy as always. From the scum game we played I remember him taking a more logical piece by piece approach over throwing out thoughts which is what he’s doing here so I think this fits more of his town meta.

 

 

3. Dice - Always seems like scum to me but I’m getting used to it. The call out on me on page 25, notably post #488, was pretty bad for him. Seems to me he skimmed it, thought of a potentially plausible reason to call me out when I was already getting heat, and then messed up. 

 

“I didn’t like you backing off your vote on Zander.” Lol, I voted him off wrong information what in the hell was I supposed to do? His reply #636 “backing off” was also bad. I could vote him today.

 

 

4. Monstr - A lot of talk about what town does/should do and what scum does/should do. Think he was more pissed off at the fact that I wasn’t taking him seriously which could happen in both alignments but I think it’s more likely he genuinely was trying to scum hunt and felt like his effort was being wasted. 

 

His later posts like #533 read well to me and it’s good content.

 

5. Hellian

 

 

6. Kat/Pral

 

 

7. Besie - Comes off nervously. Feels like she’s crafting her posts carefully and her nervousness is almost seeping through it. Is she just a nervous player can someone confirm? Or was she trying to be seen in a certain way.

 

Post #385 clarifies this for me slightly but doesn’t make me comfortable with it. #476 I generally do not like this kind of reads list. I’m not here for a summary and the wording of the summary is unhelpful but unfortunately it seems like this is something that both a nervous but engaged town would do and a scum looking to “contribute”. 

 

 

8. Nego - #103 Lol what is this post. I can’t tell if it’s serious and you actually town read him for this. #387 is also weird considering Nego has made plenty of his own irrelevant posts. Seems like a weird thing to point out. #449 also seems weird. #453 “will continue his catch up” except he’s already caught up? Just seems permanently disjointed. 

 

9. Sooh - some town vibes. Not many, but they’re there. I haven’t played a game with her where she’s been scum but she seems comfortable and has claimed to “suck” at being scum. Her general posting makes her seem town to me more often than not so I’ll remain vigilante.

 

 

10. Believer - Slight town lean. I’m judging mainly from his progression between the games he’s played on DM and it seems like the trend he’s taking is one of a player adjusting to meta on a new site with new people. He’s been town in both games I’ve played with him here and has played two very different games so while it’s kind of pointless for me to consider those games individually I’m leaning town on him here because it seems he’s actively adapting to play a different type of town game since his last game was negatively received.

 

Town game 1 - Incredibly active and aggressive posting style

Town game 2 - Low volume, low content for D1 and punished for it after

Game 3 - While doesn’t have the energy for a repeat of game 1 realises that activity early is valued here and has already surpassed the amount of content he’d provided in game 2.

 

All in all.. Eh. Effort is there to get involved though.

 

 

12. Calder - #190. I think this is a scummy post. Agreeing with someone + giving some general information about how town plays is non-contributory and I’ve seen scum do this 1000 times. This is the biggest tell imo.

 

13. Nolder

 

Tiink's big catchup isn't huge in terms of content, but I can see how he might have come to the conclusions he has. 

 

In terms of what made me suspect Tiinker to begin with it comes down to a couple of things. One is the Zander vote and backtracking. First it's the fact that he chose to jump on Z for the reason he did, valid or not. It seemed like he was searching for a reason to vote someone, and that was the weak reasoning he found. It was also based on pure guesswork as far as I can tell, or poor memory. One of the two. I don't remember exactly where in the game this happened, but from my recollection it was after we were done with the initial jokes back and forth, so I would expect a vote at that point to at least be somewhat serious unless otherwise indicated in the post. There was nothing in that vote post that made me believe that Tiinker was trying to joke-vote Z though, so with at least a semi-serious vote it's strange that it was dropped so soon after. 

 

Another thing that I felt was scummy about Tiinker was how he handled being asked about reads last night before he came back and made these reads. He seemed dismissive, and that was the reason why I chose to vote him at the time. Now, with these ~ok reads I'm willing to give him more time. Color me not convinced, but at least satisfied enough to give him more time.

 

[unvote]

 

About Z though. Z is usually pretty good at mimicking his town game when scum. The difference as I see it is the level of just general eagerness in which he approaches the game. He had a good start in terms of that, but he has tapered off some, and there have been some reads that I had some trouble following in terms of the sincerity in them, or perhaps the nitpicky-ness.

This is the first time you have ever backed me. Including when we were on the same team.

 

On an unrelated note. I now want soup for lunch.

[Darthe]

Tbh z votes aren't bad as his heart isn't in it and he is doing that thing where he focuses on one piece of a post and neglects the rest.

 

That said, thoughts on dice and monstr would be good to see.

I have Monstr in my town pile. Dice is a huge questionmark for me though. I go back and forth.

 

My heart says 1 of Dice/Nego are scum. Just feels for now.

Both Monstr and Dice are people I don't read very easily. That being said, I feel like I've mindmelded with Monstr on a few things this game. I will never be a fan of his AtE, but that is how he is, and I know that he does it as town. Not sure I've seen him do it as scum, but I wouldn't discount it. I liked him pursuing Tiinker last night and demanding reads. That was good, and exactly what a townie should do to get the reads they need. 

 

Dice is Dice. He's stubborn when he has an idea in his head, both as town and scum iirc. I have trouble catching him as scum, at least until later in the game. It's not until he has been around for several days and I start forgetting he's still in the game I tend to feel iffy about him. So far I have no idea on Dice.

Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?

I have! I've been protested and demonstrated against.

Picket signs for my wicked rhymes. Look at the times.

Sick as a polleted mind or Zander's behind

All this commotion emotions run deep as wolf's heads exploding

Teeth bared but we blow em off and keep going

Not taking nothin from no'one, give em hell long as I'm breathin

Keep lynching scum in the day phase and blocking kills in the evening

Leave'em with a taste as sour as vinegar in their mouth

Think they can push a lynch on me, but they aint never figured me out

Look at me now, I bet you prob getting sick of me chief

I'mma kill you dead and put an end to this beef

[Nolder]

Ok so I'm finally caught up.

I don't know what that whole thing with Monstr was.

I've played with him before a few times and I don't remember him snapping like that.

That isn't to say it can't be some kind of gambit or whatever just saying it's not the normal monstr that I'm used to, if I can even claim to know what normal monstr is after only a couple games.

 

I'd say Besies tone has improved and makes me less leery of the why me freak out but I'd still probably lynch her.

 

Calder continues to be useless like every game would also lynch him.

 

Zanders muted behavior is also very odd but maybe he's very invested in BFGs game right now idk.

Would like to see more of him regardless.

Not asking for full blown Zander, just more.

 

Those are all the thoughts I have offhand.

I think I need to talk to Dice and Nego because I did not get a good read on them while catching up.
