Silly Examples of Meta

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Thu Dec 10, 2015 10:37 am

Post by Davsto »

Here is a thread where you self-meta in a style that - technically speaking - could be true, but are clearly ridiculous. Sorta to mock meta, since, while it's a good tool, it's definitely not perfect.

Here's my example:

If you think I am scum, you shouldn't lynch me D1. This is because I have won both of the scum games within which I was lynched D1, and lost both of the ones where I wasn't.

(I know it's more statistics there than meta but you get the drift).

This thread was 100% not inspired by that. At all.

Also, the only time I have ever claimed Doctor, I was scum. Thus, if I ever claim Doctor, I must be scum fakeclaiming.

if we lynched scum on day 1 it means that i'm town because in 100% of my scum games we lynched outside my faction.

In face to face games certain players always think I'm town if I try to get a distracted group back to the game.

In all ten of my completed games, I lost if I was nightkilled and won if I wasn't. Since dead players can't be nightkilled, I should always try to get lynched day 1 to ensure my victory.
dear princess celestia, sometimes it can be hard for a shy pony like me to stand up for myself, and when i first tried it, i didn't like the pony i became. but i've learned that standing up for yourself isn't the same as changing who you are. now i know how to put my hoof down without being unpleasant or mean

I have a 100% winrate in the past year in games where I've been lynched! so, you should lynch me when I'm town, but not when I'm scum, cos then you'll automatically lose.

disclaimer: I've only been lynched twice, both as town.

Well in that case, I won't vote to lynch you.
Because you'll flip town.

If Netherspite is not the mod of the game, I am town.
If Netherspite is the mod of the game, I'm scum.

(All completed games of mine are town except for when I was jester, scum, and cult in 3 different games all modded by Netherspite) :lol:

If Spiffeh is obtown, he's a PR. If I want to call him scum all game, he's a VT. :wink:

If I'm in 3p LyLo, I'm town.
If I'm in a game where scum just don't seem to die after several days (maximum one), I'm town.
If I get run up to L-1 and claim VT, I'm scum.

If I'm lynched D1, one of my scum reads was right.
If I replace out, I'm town.
Heck, even if I post, I'm town.

My meta changes every game because I evolve every game.
Therefore, if you try to read my meta, you're wrong (because I am town and refer sentence above).

I periodically read my own meta and try to incorporate my town tells into my scum game and vice versa. So if you think you're reading me based on a tell from 3 months ago, I'm probably the opposite alignment.

I do. Usually when I discover a difference between the two, the scum version is townier than the town version.

If I reread from start to current and the game is longer than 20 pages, I am Third Party.

If Titus has flipped, I am the opposite. Ignore if she flips Third Party.

If I visibly didn't read the rules, I am town.

If I scumslip I am Innocent Child.
Don't @ me.
