Micro 963—Kids With Lungs GAME OVER

[Gamma Emerald]

I got prodded for this?

[Gamma Emerald]

Kids with guns, kids with guns
Taking over, but it won't be long
They're mesmerized skeletons

Kids with guns, kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it
They got something to say mental

Drinking out (push it, push it, real, push it)
Pacifier (push it, push it, real, push it)
Vitamin souls (push it, push it, real, push it)
The street desire (push it, push it, real, push it)

Doesn't make sense to (push it, push it, real, push it)
But it won't be long (push it, push it, real, push it)

Kids with guns, kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it
They got something to say mental

And they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters
It's all desire, it's all desire, it's all desire

Drinking out, pacifier
Sinking soul, there you are
Doesn't make side to, but it won't be long

'Cause kids with guns, kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it
They got something to say mental

And they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters
It's all desire, it's all desire, it's all desire

Push it, push it, real, push it, real
Push it, push it, push it, real, push it, real
Push it, push it, push it, real, push it, real
Push it, push it, push it, real, push it, real
Push it, push it, push it, real, push it, real
Push it, push it, push it, real, push it, real
Push it, push it, push it, real, push it, real
Push it, push it, real

Now that’s what I like to see

Not voting Saudade today

[Gamma Emerald]

why

Is this an actual why or just a messing with NM why

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: pooky
Get that Chinese Spyware out of my mafia game

[Gamma Emerald]

It’s not, but okay

[Gamma Emerald]

how is it not racism against a certain ethnicity of spyware

It’s more of a nationality vs an ethnicity

And yeah I don’t trust Chinese spyware as an American, I don’t trust them to have an shared interests with me. At least when Google is spying on me it wants to sell me more stuff, so it has to do certain things that align with my interests

[Gamma Emerald]

Er no

The Chinese have political reasons to spy on me, that I don’t exactly trust
Plus it may be cheap but it’s not well made
Not to generalize, but I got some Vietnam-made shirts as a Christmas present once and they were like, super uncomfortable
So imo cheap is not worth it (doesn’t mean I’ll be buying anything Supreme sells tho)

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: dashwood
Meh

[Gamma Emerald]

Inclined to vote Jake rn, but not doing so for obv reasons

[Gamma Emerald]

so you were just as wrong as I was

That is irrelevant.

How

[Gamma Emerald]

so you were just as wrong as I was

That is irrelevant.

How

Wrongness is no indicator of scum.

???

[Gamma Emerald]

You've also yet to explain why my plan of the IC outing is a bad idea. The odds of any non-IC town's odds of executing scum jump from 2/4 to 2/3. If the mafia suicides on the IC, we then gain info of who one of the mafia is, when we currently have 0 mafia flips. I see little downside to this.

I think ur math is wrong

[Gamma Emerald]

If the Mafia doesn't kill the IC after they reveal, then there is a reasonable doubt in the suicider bomber's mind that their oartner wouldn't survive an association cross examination.

You know, this logic actually holds up

[Gamma Emerald]

Actually I just remembered Mafia can 100% just kill the IC at night
Yeah IC probably shouldn’t out unless under threat of being voted

[Gamma Emerald]

I get a sneaking suspicion Ico and luncheon are just waiting in the shadows for one of us to vote each other (and this IC talk doesn’t really affect that if anyone is wondering)

[Gamma Emerald]

nobody should be voting

That’s why I said “threat of being voted”

[Gamma Emerald]

Do y’all not wanna engage with my suggestion at all?

[Gamma Emerald]

Yeah that

[Gamma Emerald]

Basically
I mostly just feel like you’ve both brought up good points and seem to be arguing in good faith
If I had to bet the game on one of you two being scum though, I’d pick Jake

[Gamma Emerald]

No
Just feel like I should mention that so I don’t come off as freaking Middle Matthew (assuming you were responding to my preferring to vote Jake over you)

[Gamma Emerald]

Inclined to vote Jake rn, but not doing so for obv reasons

Mafia apparently don't have a daychat,

The main thread is now unlocked.

Any private threads are now closed.

Deadline for Day 2 is Sunday, August 30 at 11:00 EDT, or in (expired on 2020-08-30 11:00:00).

this feels very lamist and slip-on-purpose type of post

I think that’s not the intent at all, pretty sure that was a call-out that I might have been setting up a QH
I did have that sort of knee-jerk thought initially though so can’t exactly fault it

[Gamma Emerald]

if it weren't early morning i probably would in fact have that drink

this is scummy

wanna fight me ?

wut

[Gamma Emerald]

Yeah I thought that might have been close to EoD1 but it wasn’t, so why the late response Ico?

[Gamma Emerald]

I think I'm liking town!jake at the moment. My gut says that the lack of conscientiousness displayed in stubbornly defending that position in the mech discussion is town indicative.

Which leaves gamma/ico, ico/pooky, gamma/pooky

My idea being that its town indicative to be wrong in the first place about such things (because it makes their thought process unique). From there, stubbornly defending that thought process would feel unnatural as scum because it provokes pooky in this situation and also comes across as anti-town if you're wrong.

Like jake's showing a.. lack of conscientiousness? whereas scum!pooky would feel righteous in defending a pro-town mech argument because what their doing could be considered objectively pro-town.

pedit: pooky being in the PoE has not much to do with them pushing the correct mech play

Do you have any input on my takes? I wasn’t as heated as those 2 but I did publicize some of my thoughts there.

[Gamma Emerald]

Is Saudade a good ExLo player?

Haven’t played with him in ExLo to know that I think
But I know he’s pretty strong overall, mostly from tellings of his skill but I recall seeing him solve a game fairly solidly as town once (idr where rn so probably don’t bother asking)

[Gamma Emerald]

So Iconeum’s return today definitely improved how I’m feeling about him, luncheon not so much. I think I’d rate My suspects list, strongest to weakest, as luncheon>>Jake>Ico>Pooky, the arrows aren’t exact distance, I just wanted to make it clear there’s a significant gap in there
I’m not too worried about finding a partner rn, I’m expect that will become evident with time and effort. Anyway

Pseudo-vote luncheon

I feel like actually trying to apply some form of tangible pressure so this will have to do

[Gamma Emerald]

Oh this will be a treat (not sarcasm)

[Gamma Emerald]

pseudovote Jake

Don’t like the way he came in there, reads as more for a scumbuddy than the town

[Gamma Emerald]

[Gamma Emerald]

lame

[Gamma Emerald]

Okay I like that you actually looked up what my pfp was without me prompting you, it's kinda an indicator that you're just a Cool Dude in general
and tbh I'm kinda okay to quietly ponder for now, I've expressed my opinion, I don't feel like there's much I can do rn, it seems most of you guys aren't very sociable

[Gamma Emerald]

I knew deadline was coming up and there wasn’t any real game to work off of, so I just voted for Dash because I kinda felt like the so-called suspicions towards him had some weight

[Gamma Emerald]

I believe people suspected his way of speaking? I understood it could be Dash’s general speech pattern, but it was really the best thing I could find.

[Gamma Emerald]

You were voting him too, did you not have a reason?

[Gamma Emerald]

@Iconeum

I don't really have any informed opinions on who scum might be

, as I don't really have a back catalouge of chat to look through.
I think it's obvious that at least one scum was on Dashwood's wagon.

I don't remember asking you questions.

this tone is really what is gonna make me vote jake
it's been here consistently in his ISO

very lamist and i don't think it's town

I’m inclined to agree but since I’m lazy rn could you point out more examples for me

[Gamma Emerald]

and yeah, in a couple hours i'll be in weekend vla as well

so i'll be putting down my vote by then

Alright

[Gamma Emerald]

Establishing presence.

[Gamma Emerald]

Okay I’m actually probably going to have to dip soon

[Gamma Emerald]

Hello.
It’s me.

[Gamma Emerald]

Dw I have a plan

[Gamma Emerald]

In a little bit

[Gamma Emerald]

Alright now time to disclose what I’m doing. I basically saw this as an opportunity to prove myself not aligned with either Pooky or luncheon. Look back at how obviously suspicious my first post after Iconeum voted is.

So at this point the team is either exactly luncheon and Pooky which in that case we have like 3 hours for Icon to unvote before luncheon comes on just about, or one/both of Iconeum or Jake is scum. If it’s the case that only one is scum, I’m very much inclined to trust Pooky to be Town over luncheon because I was actually growing quite concerned about it being Pooky and luncheon and they were trying to avoid engaging my ploy and making it so I couldn’t be linked to them

There's also the possibility that you're aligned with Luncheon, seeing as they haven't replied yet, which could entirely mean they haven't been online. For angleshooitng reasons, I will not discuss other information that could make this theory more valid.

They only post late at night my time, but I started the gambit late night/early morning, then continued it in the afternoon. Why continue it at a time where I know nothing will come of it?
Also I consider this argument perfectly fine because posting times within the day are perfectly viewable and I don’t see why a gambit based on them should be disallowed, I had a player in a game I modded use my active hours to inform one of their gambits and when I panic-checked with my co-mods they said it was fair play.

[Gamma Emerald]

I have thoughts on those posts but I'll wait

[Gamma Emerald]

So I felt like the confidence luncheon had was pretty scummy
But Jake listing me as strongest suspicion is way worse because from his POV the fact he hadn’t been hammered yet should make Iconeum confscum
VOTE: Jake the Wolfie

[Gamma Emerald]

...

[Gamma Emerald]

@Gamma Can I say something?

Perhaps. Why did you not suspect Iconeum more?

[Gamma Emerald]

Seriously fuck off with the TikToks

[Gamma Emerald]

Like, not only is it legitimately foreign spyware, it also discriminates against unsightly (read: ugly) people, inspires stupid/awful behavior (have you seen the stuff about them role playing Holocaust victims? That shit’s fucked) and is just annoying in general

[Gamma Emerald]

Alright cringelord

[Gamma Emerald]

how is it not racism against a certain ethnicity of spyware

And yeah I don’t trust Chinese spyware as an American, I don’t trust them to have an shared interests with me. At least when Google is spying on me it wants to sell me more stuff, so it has to do certain things that align with my interests

So uh
I'd like to apologize to Pooky about the idea that targeted ads are trying to sell me things
For the past few days I've been dealing with same uninteresting ads for Epic Seven, so it's clear they're not actually trying to aim for my interests, just being dicks
