whats making me flipflop between pulsar and Texas is that Texas wanted to vote realiti since d1, and while I feel that might be legit, I feel that it could equally as likely be bus, and Texas is more likely partner with realiti than pulsar I feel. I dont doubt that scum Texas would have the balls to bus their scummate. Pulsar on the other hand hasn't really been providing much until recently, which just rubs me the wrong way.

NOC Popcorn Mafia 3 Game Thread
- Thread starter Nuxl
- Start date
Starting a re-read of the thread, page 2 is immediately jumping out at alme as notable
LadyMence, Clouds, realiti, flyhn, Aura Guardian. All scum, all immediately active and present at game start, all interacting in various forms of fluff and distancing. One other person also active at game start and interacting the same. If you assume the whole scum team is online at game start and coordinating at game start, pulsar is directly implicated.

Dusk flip is reflecting well on Oden, excepting celever his early game reads were very accurate
What the fuck is this post
I feel like that spews Oden town
changing my shot order to pulsar --> tbz
Texas most likely following
Still only 20 pages in but I'm thinking this ends the game atm
master oden read pulsar/LS interactions from 429 through 588
remind me in like 3-4 hours
I ain't home
My observation:
#429 pulsar returns to thread fluffing against scum!LS, if scum!pulsar this suggests pulse wants to re-enter thread safely against a partner, continues to interact and fluff against LS throughout page 21 and on
#530 Aura Guardian town reads six people including LadyMence and four known town, calls LS/pulsar TvT which is known to be false
#588 LS claims to have been pushing pulsar, but every post to this point was either fluff or Charmin soft pressure

Through page 26 other observations:
#213 skipper whose game related reads were bad all game, suggests pulsar is matching to scumeta
#160 Oden correctly reads Chad slot based on activity
#155 realiti pockets whydon and tbz, unclear if double town pocket or mixed read
#209/210 Oden pressures town slots to play, #229 dusk trs oden, dusk picks out town!MC in #257

The thing with pulsar though is that you’d have to believe that she purposefully sunk AG day 1 over me and really pushed HH for a flyhn shot which just seems crazy in 2v8 or whatever it was. I just don’t think that makes a ton of sense even if you really believe the mafia strategy was just hang back
TMI spew
Correct, mafia wins at parity and the vengeful kill can never create parity
Best case scenario for us
What seems likely based on what scorch said is Oden/texas -> pulsar -> the other of oden/texas (or me if pulsar feels that strongly)
which leaves out tbz which seems crazy. But dusk thought that was ok! This otherwise seems to cover our bases in terms of there’s a very clear split here between oden/texas vs scorch/pulsar/me to some extent and tbz is just kind of out there (probably fits best in oden/texas group for wanting to shoot pulsar) but I think everyone agrees we’ll have to gun them
the problem with that is any f3 with tbz in it as not the gun holder is going to feel awful. I would absolutely hate to have to make a decision there with basically nothing to go on. I don’t want that responsibility but if we’re confident we’ll hit before then then I guess we can

Quick summary of scum/scum interaction through 45
realiti - balancing his reads
LadyMence - hedging with light distancing
AG - truthful
Clouds - honest town game with light protection
Flyhn - activity slanking with distancing
Point is to observe when the patterns break
Few notes on zippy
Hard TR pulsar, first vote on clouds, mentality progression from 1037 through 1077 reads town mindset, susses flyhn and Oden, main reason to reconsider oden at this point
One other thing to watch, #1018 flyhn steps hard into an AG bus, #1026 LadyMence piggybacks, reinforces scum willingness to coordinate d1 bus

leaving tbz for the end is definitely not okay
Let it slip later on but nice to have my drunk read of realiti scum validated
Actually my read on LS was drunk too
I should drunk mafia more often

how likely is it that tbz and realiti were both scum trying to pocket whydon
It especially doesnt make sense for a vengeful to do that for sure
