Open 778: Nightless Vanilla [Game Over!]

[Isis]

If Looker is town you're probably going to be a 3p Decider so you can't afford to turn your brain off about GC and HEM.

[Isis]

The thing with HEM's play is he keeps interacting with people in acting in such a way as though it seems he can't possibly have an agenda. Like he's too wandering. But his play both holistically and in nuances screams a loud pervasive desire to not die, to not be killed. That's the Survivor tell, and maybe nightless brings it out in people somehow or other because this characterization reminds me heavily of both my nightless scumgames. Green Crayons never gives off a hidden nor forthcoming desire to survive. And when I say holistically that includes the lynches pursued, with HEM shelter in Ali and Isis tunnels and making promises to get lynched for being wrong that he's confident will be townread.
GC is on record with viewing a link between Deimos and Firebringer but HEM's quicklynching has less meat and butter to it that's independent of speeding up the end of a game he needs to end before he dies.

[Isis]

like we're probably about to lynch someone else who doesn't try that hard to not die in Looker, but he didn't have all that much ability to. GC has always had a middle of the road position with regard to surviving this game and has always squandered it taking really little responsibility for busses, not egostroking his supporters or shading his detractors.

[Isis]

I want to read some GC games later to see whether it's idiosyncratic that GC acts like this. He could be kind of like MariaR or whatever.

[Isis]

hem if you want to stop this readshift you would be admitting to a strong desire not to die and convincing me it's not that AI for you, not one word shading me

[Isis]

I mean I guess you don't care I guess you're going to kill me but I think Elements might deadsheep me at least a lil

Elements you like me right remember that time we played fusion, I didn't mislynch you, it was all the great times.

I don't want to lead the town anymore and say that we should definitely lynch Isis, but we should definitely lynch Isis.

[Isis]

Yes, use your deathtunnel to occlude your alignment again rather than be required to engage with the game in a risky way the way GC, Elements, and even Looker have done

[Isis]

If you are town you should not play like this

[Isis]

For someone not leading the town "anymore", you have done little I remember to be a source cause for any scum getting lynched this game. GC's VCA was damning to votato OR norwee, and it looked bad that votato was picked first but now knowing that his partner was someone as poor as Deimos it doesn't seem like he could afford even the OR

[Isis]

I've moved to El>GC>HEM>Looker after the victory lap clinching things but I'm trying hard not to get married to it before I have time to read this weekend/next week but I'm not doing a great job with that

[Elements]

Elements do you really think I'm scum or are you just townreading people who are saying they think I'm scum?

I think it's Looker and we'll never have to lynch you.

[Elements]

but you're comments on hem are very convincing

[Elements]

VOTE: hem

[Elements]

i think scum have made the mistake of voting me but not lynching me
so looker/hem must be scum

[Elements]

i think scum have made the mistake of voting me but not lynching me

as in we lynch everyone who voted me and we win

[Isis]

Elements do you really think I'm scum or are you just townreading people who are saying they think I'm scum?

I think it's Looker and we'll never have to lynch you.

It could very well be one of those games.

I like your vote but I want a long day phase

[Looker]

Isis can you like, whatever you alignment is, can you teach me how to be a better town? I don't want to be another Looker on this site. What should I be doing right now?

You're upset I hammered you in Butterfly Mafia, aren't you? I admit, it was a tad...abrasive.

Looker just feels right. I don’t know what a player like looker would look like as scum, tbh, and that’s making me wonder if that means I just don’t see the scum. Like, I ~*~know~*~ that his style of play is lynch bait, but I still am feeling like I need to clear it off the table just so we can check that box to make sure scum isn’t here.

I don't think I understand what you're saying to me. Are you saying that I should be policy lynched because of playstyle?

if either of you two are scum then idk what the world has come to

Lol, this is an exaggeration.

i think scum have made the mistake of voting me but not lynching me
so looker/hem must be scum

I feel this is a very problematic/narrow-minded approach. It's OMGUS and complacency. What if you're in a game and scum don't vote you?

• We have to get rid of Isis.

[Green Crayons]

I'm a bit unsettled by the significant whiplash in Elements, Isis, and Looker in the past two pages.

[Green Crayons]

That's my contribution for the day. A quiet unease.
