Open 801: Trust Fall (Game Over)

[Hectic]

Reasons to Trust Hectic in 2020:

• I do not own a single weapon of mass destruction in my household.
  
• I have only committed mass murder on
  one
  occasion, and no more.
  
• I can not only fall into your arms, but backflip into them.
  
• I am not an assassin or contract killer, I am retired and that is long behind me.

Pooky! I thought we were all about soulvibing, not showing off our towny hearts

[Hectic]

Maybe if we vote hard enough, it'll become a mechanic.

VOTE: Rainbow Reads

[Hectic]

How many patents do you have to your name?

Only 10, give or take a few zeros

[Hectic]

Will you leave me all alone Hectic!?!? :(

Of course not... Starbuck isn't here to separate us <3

unless she power replaces into the game and forces one of us to trust fall out with her

[Hectic]

Maybe if we vote hard enough, it'll become a mechanic.

hope you're not suggesting you're suffering from stockholm syndrome in all this

[Hectic]

Jake's avatar is giving Rainbow Reads a run for their money. Excited to see where this 1v1 goes.

jake, I think they handwrite every single post with all the bbcode included, and then scan it and use a program to convert it to text.

[Hectic]

Trust: Uncrowned

[Hectic]

HEAL: Rockhopper - first person to call something scummy in shelly is town-indicative, much easier for scum to townhunt rather than make enemies early stages, especially since setup calls for it

HEAL: Akarin - towning help

[Hectic]

PTMBBB !

[Hectic]

Should I? How shamelessly would you buddy me if you were scum? Be honest.

[Hectic]

So this is NAI lol

I adore you too, but trust and adoration are two different things... show me your SOUL

[Hectic]

[Hectic]

Did I just see the esteemed Fidget use an emoji? I think she's trying to buddy us with cuteness, guys

[Hectic]

You think she's an undercover ? I'll think about it

Pooky is very good at pocketing though, yeah. There's a point where the loveliness and charm leaves his scumrange, but this is baseline so far.

[Hectic]

I trust Adorable

guess we'll find out now

[Hectic]

I trust... Garfield's teddy bear and best friend

?

[Hectic]

My family really likes royalty, could you crown yourself before meeting them?

Pooky, bring the hot air balloons if we're making this a three way wedding

[Hectic]

You thinking of accepting?

[Hectic]

I never fluff, everything has a deeper meaning

pedit: she's just jealous

[Hectic]

I buy that townslip
HEAL: Uncrowned

[Hectic]

HECTIC YOU SNEAKY

I thought your proposal was real... but if you truly cared about me, my engagement ring would've had the correct trusting format on it.

You're dead to me.

I'll always love you... even if you hate me now

Hectic Trusts Uncrowned

[Hectic]

I trust... Garfield's teddy bear and best friend

?

Hold on a second.

Am I seeing things correctly or am I a negative IQ specimen?

ARE MYSELF AND THE MAGICAL BEAR CONFIRMED GOOD BOIS?

Hang on, did you really think this trust proposal to Pooky would count, Uncrowned?

[Hectic]

Why'd you ask about both you and the magical bear being conftown then?

[Hectic]

hectic is amazing

I trust Hectic

this is a bit serious i totally get the Hectic Townvibes :tm: and the iso has a fluff to seriousposting ratio that i like

give me some time to think about it, shelly

[Hectic]

Agree that Uncrowned is probably town. Believing the Pooky proposal would be dubious and increase the chance it was a faked townslip, but I believe the reaction test theory proposed - that'd be really weird to fabricate as scum.

Also agree that Hectic is probably scum. He keeps trying to deflect suspicion and pocket people, and is fluffing far more he should be. Since policy launches aren't a thing this game, I'll be calling for a modkill from Equinox.

[Hectic]

Anything other than the fluff, shelly?

[Hectic]

Also, you made me look at the marathon forum to find out it was still closed. How cruel

[Hectic]

I'm just so happy to be here with everyone

(* ^ ω ^) Hectic if you will be my Beethoven, I will be your Elise. (* ^ ω ^)

Your music is strong... does Elise have any scumreads yet? Beethoven wants blood (&_%./)

Shelly didn't use any buzzwords to call Hectic scum, only naked accusations. That is interesting.

This is a good point lol

shelly, do you remember how I reacted to votes early on as ODJ?

[Hectic]

Sneasel Sneasel Sneasel SNEASEL Sneasel

[Hectic]

I have an inkling to what the correlation is, may or may not verify it later

where have you seen me respond nonnonchalanty to an early vote or scumread?

[Hectic]

interesting, have you looked into my scummeta? which games? and I did indeed receive some votes for early clownery in Bats, which did not phase me

[Hectic]

Nice try... but statistics mean nothing to me, I'm more of a kidney type of player

[Hectic]

Can I be an umbrella

[Hectic]

pooky pooky pooky pooky

I'm looking for a partner in crime, I may not be a mafioso but I'm looking into a career in serial killing

[Hectic]

@Fidget: Still Uncrowned, think that townslip was legit. Akarin's help and proactiveness also feels genuine so she'd be second pick

[Hectic]

HURT: Rainbow Reads - coming out strong with those reads and then dipping is meh. Could you explain the Uncrowned and shelly ones?
HURT: shellyCult - waiting on answers, you wouldn't force a scumread on me now, would you?

Sneasel's posting seems okay

[Hectic]

I take a 1UP a day, + a mega mushroom when I want to treat myself in the nights

[Hectic]

It's very worrying that you're viewing something that's ideal for town's wincon, and saying it's

more

likely scum would do it than town

Fidget I'm actually kinda undecided on, but I agree with her reads which is probably good

[Hectic]

I've been shaded for using "very worrying" before, I use it interchangeably for scumread/alignment-doubt if that wasn't clear

Town hunting and bloccing is fine to imitate, but drawing out townslips actively hurts scum's wincon like those other two don't, the way you're associating it to be scum-indicative feels like you're forcing that read

[Hectic]

Fidget I'm actually kinda undecided on, but I agree with her reads which is probably good

why are you undecided on someone whose reads you agree with?

she has a good range, and all of her posts could in-theory be faked so far. mindmelding on reads is +town though

[Hectic]

drawing out townslips is the ideal town!play so scum would aim to imitate it

fidget do you think solving/posting reads is "counter to scum wincon?" this is very similar

Is this not meant to counter Fidget's point on townreading me?

[Hectic]

Pedit: were you aware of the formatting of the trusting at the time?

Mhm

I've played this setup as scum before btw lol

maybe I should link that for meta purposes

[Hectic]

viewtopic.php?f=51&t=84012

I am Marksman in that hydra. got hard carried by hornet...

[Hectic]

ok that game is indicative of hectic!town here...

HM.

Good good, but interesting you didn't point out the fact I also fake proposed as scum there. Did you notice that?

uh did I just talk myself out of hectic!scum

HURT WITH A BLADE: pooky
HURT WITH A BLADE: rainbow

and pray that hectic is interaction solvable before endgame

These blades are getting out of control, shelly... can't we make them sticks instead?

Fidget I'm actually kinda undecided on, but I agree with her reads which is probably good

why are you undecided on someone whose reads you agree with?

she has a good range, and all of her posts could in-theory be faked so far. mindmelding on reads is +town though

are you ready to change your life forever?

look within - which of those reads do you think you could fake or would be motivated to fake?
now, flip it back. do you see a reason for scum fidget to fake any of these fakeable reads?

this will be covered in greater detail in my next book

Inteeeresting... I've been so distracted with marathons but I'll try doing this afterwards

I'm basically V/LA until the marathon is over btw

Actually, I'm too mentally exhausted after those discord marathon games to catchup right now... will return at some point!

[Hectic]

This is cruel, you know this isn't a good time, Pooky...

[Hectic]

I can't open my heart up again for at least a little bit... give me some time to heal

At least people in the dead thread thought it was me or Isis and not her

I think, unless I've clouded my memory to make myself feel better

[Hectic]

I must stop refrain myself from drinking unfortunately, but I will drink in sorrow. hopefully the pool is a finite source

[Hectic]

glad it was entertaining to watch though lol

[Hectic]

Last day of marathons! Back after then.

[Hectic]

Oh, hang on, that probably doesn't count as a contentful post

Pooky is my soul mason
Akarin is pleasant
Sneasle is reliable
Gloria is wholesome
Jake is awesome
Fidget is cute
Rainbow Reads is fun
shelly is inspiring
Uncrowned is adorable

That should do it

[Hectic]

I am BACK

I've fallen behind in like all of my games, so I'm just going to play from page 19 and look to new horizons. Give me some important pointers if I missed them.

[Hectic]

Fidget is still cute. Has been generally towny.

Gloria Cleary replaced Rockhopper and will surely post enough that you'll be able to read her soon.

Jake The Wolfie has been prodded. Flirted with Pooky a bit but didn't propose. Has had no real content.

Necessary Sneasel has rabies but is pretty likely town. Thinks I'm scum because of the post I quoted just above this one. Also was doubting that Uncrowned was town for a while even after previously trusting Uncrowned, but has since decided that was paranoia and is trusting Uncrowned again.

PookyTheMagicalBear is my father.

shellyc is someone I have no faith in my ability to read and hasn't done anything really notable but has been questioning Sneasel a bit

Uncrowned is probably* conftown.

I suddenly have little faith in reading shelly too honestly, she's shifted her meta a lot and I'm scared

Uncrowned looks conftown to me unless he's scum who wants to stick around to shitpost, but nah, probably just town

Read back on that Sneasel paranoia and I actually kinda like it, it's like really unnecessary as scum and rules lawyering in a good way on something I didn't even notice. It's unnecessary at the end of the day if he's scum, since Pooky would just repropose at some point and it'd put the matter to bed

Jake Jake Jake....

Pooky, do you want to fall into my arms?

Pooky if you don't fall into my arms I'm going to drop kick you to the floor

Why'd you say this? Do you read Pooky as town?

[Hectic]

Oh yeah, we should do a thing where we propose to the towniest people, and have them not accept. We can "clear" people if we slowly propose to the UTRs until we have a smaller pool. So we can IC people while keeping them in the game while they can continue to weigh in

[Hectic]

There is a deadline for trusts though, maybe it doesn't work then unless we treat the game like a blitz. first person to leave should obviously be Uncrowned, question is with whom

I Trust Uncrowned

I swear I'll catch you, Crowns, look into my eyes and see my towny liver

As for other candidates, I think Akarin is still solid off the top of my head. I should probably look back and see why Sneasel thinks she's sus though

[Hectic]

Meh

Only reason, Sneasel?

[Hectic]

Fidget, did you still have questions about my Rainbow-Jake thought or did that pretty much answer itself as the day went on.

I'm less hot on that right now by the way, but I was kind of hoping Jake or Rainbow would actually react to it more. Or other people.

I don't really think all the scum can be in people making a point of not trying though.

I thought you might've been reaction testing with this to see if anyone was really vocally unopposed. There's the scenario where they're both town and scum really needs to stop that from happening, since they're both PoE range. Fidget was voacally opposed, but I feel her thoughts behind it were genuine.

I also just like that latest string of Fidget posting.

[Hectic]

Like I get where y'all are coming from, but I just do not buy that a scumteam with 2 of Jake/Rainbow/Pooky decide to approach the game like this.

Rainbow always plays like this, it's hard to get a read there

She placed Gloria and Fidget lower once they started having doubts on rainbows, but it's hard to tell if it's towny OMGUS or I mean, what purpose does it even serve if it's scum-motivated OMGUS, it's not like they're trying to push the reads. I think I'm like nulltown there

[Hectic]

Fidget! This is the lowest you've placed me in one of your readslists for a long while. You don't feel my towny no-filter resonate through?

shelly, why'd you give up on trying to read me and just wanting to use associates instead? What changed?

[Hectic]

Gloria is doing her entitled "I can't believe you don't see how obvtown I am" thing, and uh, there's other meta which makes me inclined to think she's town.

The wholesome thing wasn't an alignment read btw, Gloria. Those were just personality reads.

hm.

i have the impression that town!pooky is more abrasive/spontaneous while scum!pooky loves to buddy/present himself as likeable and I think the latter is happening rn

I actually have the opposite impression of Pooky. I'm leantown on him because of the way he was trying to buddy up to me in the early game. I think in general, town!Pooky finds it easier to show his "soul" and try to convince people he's town just by how much he's enjoying himself, and power of friendship alone in a way. As scum, he resorts to it less, don't know why, maybe because he feels worse about it, or it's less fun for him. But generally he's more aggressive and ends up pushing miselims more than this kind of fluff.

This is just a tends to sort of thing though, it's nothing to townlock him for, and content-wise I don't have much to townread him for.

[Hectic]

I think this has already been stated, but I just wanted to throw it out there that UC is probably (though not confirmed) town.

However, I'm pretty sure the next thought I had hasn't been said yet:
Could Uncrowned be deepwolfing to get their partner on the bench of trust fallees?

Hmm, don't like that you felt the need to reiterate that, while acknowledging that you think it's already been stated. Could you answer the question in 459?
