Micro 948: Noughts and Crosses Blitz [Game over!]

[Celeste]

Interesting! The gods heard my prayer, and my wish has been granted!

Hmhmhm. This is all because of my daily sympathy and compassion, is it not?

[Celeste]

I'd like everyone to proceed with the funniest RVS joke they can think of. The least funny person will be brutally murdered.

VOTE: GuiltyLion

This one gives me guilty vibes, and I have a feeling he may be lion.

[Celeste]

Coming up with a joke on the spot is cruel! Has anyone tried the VOTE: T-bone steak recently?

Hmhm. This will suffice.

[Celeste]

Blair, my dear, why provide an optimal strategy for our nefarious adversaries to follow?

VOTE: Blair

[Celeste]

In one of the previous runs, the mafia misplayed and failed to kill the Innocent Child on night 1. This ensured their defeat since day 1 was a mafia lynch. Your information means there is no chance they will misplay now. While running around like a junior detective, did this not cross your mind?

[Celeste]

Do you think so? It seems that is merely her displaying her passion... ...toward the production of this killing game.

Blair, did you prepare this before you received your role?

[Celeste]

So we should plan on focusing on serious scumhunting while treating the game board as a secondary tool that we can use to manipulate the mafia into making nightkills that benefit us, or risk outing themselves.

I am the type of person who cannot overlook a good strategy.

So I have no choice but to accept this. But I want to stress that it is only because of my sense of duty.

[Celeste]

It doesn't matter, Blair. You didn't answer in a way which would interest me.

VOTE: Clover

Who said anything about selling points and pushes? We are merely trying to leave the miserable depths of RVS, no?

[Celeste]

Hmhm. Blair is correct and she is growing on me. Like a fungus.

[Celeste]

How can you all be so cold? You are like pieces of rock candy. Did you even consider that I might want some scumreads too?

[Celeste]

@Guiltylion; (do you remember me, maybe?) it was mostly these

Yes, I do remember you, glad to see you again!

And I think I understand your point about how those posts changed your view, thank you for the clarification

Your initial qualm against the Innocent Child was her lack of specifying reasons. It seems she could've answered your question here in many ways as mafia, since there are plenty of reasonable posts to reference, yet we seem awfully happy to hand waive our previous suspicions now, don't we?

[Celeste]

For Celeste:

Spoiler:

Ah, are you paying tribute to me? How delightful...

[Celeste]

It feels like he's nitpicking and trying to find reasons to scumread people

on this, I would also point you to see how I did not escalate or push further once Kanna gave me satisfying explanation! I think she is more likely town than scum after our exchange

Hmhm. The more I hear from you, the worse of an impression I get!

[Celeste]

The excuse in 82 is very strange. You make such ugly noises when you overexplain, maxwell.

[Celeste]

Clover Ebi impresses me. He can be bumped up to a B-rank. Blair and T-Bone(27) are on C-ranks.

Meanwhile, maxwell and GuiltyLion can occupy the D-ranks, while Kanna(45) and Dunnstral sit comfortable in the E-ranks.

VOTE: Dunnstral

[Celeste]

B-tier: Clover Ebi
C-tier: Blair, T-Bone, Dunnstral
D-tier: maxwell
E-tier: GuiltyLion, Kanna

VOTE: Kanna

Now, now, you call yourself an Innocent Child? You may want to reconsider.

[Celeste]

A lack of adaptability...is a lack of survivability. Survival is not based on who is the strongest or the smartest. It comes down to who can adapt.

I see several that have failed.

[Celeste]

Cat Scratch Fever's inquiries do not impress me and that slot remains in E-tier. With a rozyroz into Cat Scratch Fever lynch, we may just be able to escape this miserable killing game.

Upset at rolling mafia, Cat Scratch Fever? You seem dejected.

[Celeste]

It's unfortunate, but luck really does trump effort.

[Celeste]

Yes, or perhaps I am imagining it as it would fit this worldview I have created for myself for your slot.

Your dip into novice private investigating seemed unproductive, but I like your recent post on maxwell.

[Celeste]

Luck controls life. It is a terrifying force that cannot be fully understood.

Where path is Lady Luck ushering us towards? rozyroz or maxwell?

[Celeste]

my overall reads are like this:

town: {Clover, maxwell, T-Bone}
meh: {Dunn, Rozy}
scum: {Blair, CSF}

How insolent. Do you deem me unworthy of receiving one of your precious reads?

[Celeste]

rozyroz -> Cat Scratch Fever -> maxwell is a fine plan.

[Celeste]

I don't fear death. I welcome the end of this day. But you know, if I could be reincarnated... If I had a choice, then... I think I would like to come back as Marie Antoinette. Hmhm.

[Celeste]

Hmhm. If you are going to lie, at least try to lie convincingly.

VOTE: beeboy

[Celeste]

I think lynching a corner is still optimal though

Vote: Dunnstral

why this?

This is nefarious because she didn't comment on anything else AI in the thread, but felt the need to question a vote.

VOTE: GuiltyLion
I kind of agree. @Guilty; if you pointed out so many things, why did you default to voting for 2 people who haven't shown up?

This is nefarious because she seemed excited to play with Guilty just a few posts earlier, but was happy to jump on his wagon.

Well then, have a nice day.

[Celeste]

Trying to draw me in with vulgar wagons? How unappealing...I'm confirmed town because I would've hammered Dunnstral here as mafia.

Anyway, I'd prefer beeboy > Celeste > Cat Scratch Fever > Dunnstral, but Dunnstral > Celeste > Cat Scratch Fever > beeboy achieves the same thing.

As long as you all stick to the plan that is. Remember, the fear of invisible treachery becomes the greatest enemy of stability.

[Celeste]

This is fine as long as it's not Blair + one of the top left trio.

[Celeste]

I say I don't fear death...but my ability to lie is unrivaled, and I take pride in that. It's not just other people—I can even fool my own emotions. The conscious deceives the unconscious.

...

It's okay.

Well then, take care, everyone. Perhaps we'll meet again, in another life.

VOTE: Dunnstral

[Celeste]

Hmhmhm. The mafia have no tears, do they? No blood in their veins, no calcium in their bones. At least you have your audacity... which I admire, Cats.

[Celeste]

With 7 alive, it takes 4 to lynch.

Deadline

: (expired on 2020-06-19 23:22:00)

Cats > Celeste > GuiltyLion > Blair is one option.
Alternatively, mafia could also force a Cats > GuiltyLion > Celeste > maxwell.

Or GuiltyLion > Blair > Cats > Celeste but this one doesn't give them the chance to manipulate it.

Interesting...very interesting.

[Celeste]

There are never 2 mafia in [T-Bone, Maxwell, Clover] as maxwell has mentioned.
Unless mafia are fools, and really, there is no shame in being wrong. Nobody expects much from you, anyway. We have all accepted the fact that you rarely understand what is going on around you. So if you have made a mistake, it is okay to come clean.

[Celeste]

Worth noting it's possible we would have eliminated beeboy today, in which case mafia-Cat would be forced to shoot herself, leading to a forced lynch on Clover. How do you feel about cats, Clover Ebi; you're not too attached to them, are you?

[Celeste]

Well, you certainly wouldn't mind keeping me around for an extra couple of days if you were mafia, now, would we, Clover? Don't worry, I'm just examining the odds.

[Celeste]

Does anyone object to me just voting GL

I forgot to reply to this, my dear Cats.

Are you worried about what those around you might think? Do not concern yourself with them. As long as we are satisfied with how we make our own actions, that is all that matters. Please keep that in mind as you vote GuiltyLion, as it is the only sensible option you have to make as either alignment.

[Celeste]

I think you're taking my comment the wrong way, but this has helped me regardless.

Pray tell, how has this helped you in reading T-Bone?

[Celeste]

It is rather unfortunate but eliminating me may make us a metaphoric killing. GuiltyLion and Blair are likely town from nightkill optics. If it's not Cats + 1 of [T-Bone, maxwell, Clover], I would be losing a lot of my chips.

[Celeste]

Blair, you truly are cold, callous, and in dire need of calcium. However, I underestimated you when I stated you were a junior detective. You are more like a... it is only now that I realise there is no word in the English language that indicates a level between "junior" and "senior". How troublesome. I suppose you could be a junior senior detective.

VOTE: Celeste

I welcome death.

[Celeste]

Do you disagree that it is Cats + one of the top left trio? From my perspective, this eliminates 2 of the three. Mafia will have predicted the GuiltyLion lynch plan and so it's almost certain one of you three contains mafia. What they

won't

have predicted however, is the lynch the IC plan, so wouldn't have been placing any chips on this.

Lynching maxwell to force a nightkill on me makes no difference, I could care less, expect it means GuiltyLion will be lynched instead of T-Bone. Despite his condescending thinking pose, GuiltyLion is less likely mafia.

[Celeste]

If Blair is mafia, why nightkill beeboy rather than maxwell? If she killed maxwell, we would lynch Cats, and it would force us down a Cats D2 > beeboy N2 > T-Bone D3 > Celeste N3 route.

Blair then has a fair chance to win 3p lylo with Clover and GuiltyLion. The route she has chosen here by killing beeboy however leaves her no chance of winning if she is mafia.

[Celeste]

For me, it's one calculated gamble on Clover-town. One of you 3 is mafia.

[Celeste]

My route would've won as well technically! It just would've taken a little longer. I'm glad I could rely on my B and C-tier townies displaying their true skill to speed this up.

[Celeste]

Well, it was a fantastic experience. Thank you for modding, Umlaut. The mafia gave it their all, but they failed to adapt on day 1. If you can't find a way to enjoy your current situation, you will be discovered.
