open 826; trist fall (over)

[Pavowski]

Woo, been waiting for this one to start. Most of you are new to me. Hi!

[Pavowski]

12 days is a brutal long time to wait. Waiting makes the game not fun.

I plan to fire off a trust or two within a day or so.

[Pavowski]

I plan to fire off a trust or two within a day or so.

would my asking you not to do this also make the game less fun?

Asking me would not at all make it less fun.

I still might do it, though.

[Pavowski]

Ooh I want that first pagetop.

This game is already a win for me.

[Pavowski]

i also don't see why we would plan out the whole game without all the info of who's gonna flip scum

This. Don't get me wrong, a plan is great, but what's that thing they said? No plan survives contact with the enemy?

My money's on us not figuring out all the scum on d1.

[Pavowski]

Remember we win if we can all successfully identify one scum.

Is that accurate? I don't think that's accurate.

Picture a final four, 1 scum remaining. I might correctly identify the last member of the scum team, but if somebody else exits the game with that person, we lose.

[Pavowski]

Hi Thor, you look trustworthy

[Pavowski]

Tristworthy*

Nice.

I want to find friends I can trust with my heart in this game

I would be very hurt if I was deceived. Who here is town and can promise?

I promise.

[Pavowski]

That's not very convincing to me

Who, me or Inu?

[Pavowski]

@Thor, ouch.

My first garbage take of the game: 1 scum between inu/Skitter.

Will be back in a few hours.

[Pavowski]

I'm gonna take my own life in my hands and boldly posit that Infinity is town.

Hi, The Worst.

I think I agree with you on Infinity.

[Pavowski]

yeah i think so too

Skitter 2/2 agreeing with my garbage takes, cut it out or I'm gonna start trusting you

[Pavowski]

Skitter 2/2 agreeing with my garbage takes, cut it out or I'm gonna start trusting you

what do you think about skitter agreeing with the first one though

It's problematic

[Pavowski]

Don't like Enchant's entrance, but then, I never seem to. Could enchant have rolled scum again??

[Pavowski]

I don't eat until the afternoon, I subsist on pure pain and suffering.

Pooky we should trust each other

[Pavowski]

Ok, let me know when you're done.

[Pavowski]

Why not eat a simple beverage like an apple or banana for breakfast, Pawoski

The real answer is I do intermittent fasting

The more fun answer is, pain and suffering sharpens the soul

[Pavowski]

i am eating breakfast right now

a fried egg, a radish pastry, two pumpkin mochis, 1 soup dumpling and 1 fried roti flatbread

Obvious scum overshare.

Kidding, but feck that's a lot of food.

[Pavowski]

Hey everybody, I am back from work, what did I miss, nothing major I hope

[Pavowski]

Hey everybody, I am back from work, what did I miss, nothing major I hope

just pretend nothing happened and dont reread so we can test your informed level.

Joke's on you, I skimmed enough to see you basically fired a missile into this game

[Pavowski]

Welp that was a thing. I guess I am less inclined to fire a quick trust now. Want to read back over some of that madness but ... what a yikes

[Pavowski]

Pavowski, since you're likely to miss it in the cascade, I asked a question I am still very curious about here:

12 days is a brutal long time to wait. Waiting makes the game not fun.

I plan to fire off a trust or two within a day or so.

After reading through a few of your games, I'm increasingly curious about the reason for this. You don't hesitate to comment on mechanics as scum.

I'm happy to answer but I'm not sure I understand your question. You want me to explain why I want(ed) to give a quick trust?

[Pavowski]

Yeah, I'm curious as to your motivation for wanting to trust and get out of the game quickly as town.

I wouldn't expect the person I trusted to accept right away unless I was unlucky and trusted scum. Getting a trust out there and seeing somebody hesitate would be a good way to get a clear on somebody, and would be a pretty safe play with 7/9 slots green. I guess that was Koba's play, too, though 3 slots at once was more than I would've done.

Now, though, I am much less inclined to play this way

[Pavowski]

It is rather curious that you started out this game relaxed but inclined to trust early, rather than waiting until later in the game for your reads to strengthen

Fair point. How to explain this? I learned that in my first several games I was trying to play in a way that was super-serious and not comfortable for me. During that game I figured out that it wasn't working, so I'm trying to relax more in general, esp to start off.

Giving an early trust or two =\= having confidence in my reads when I could miss and not bork the game.

[Pavowski]

I have never seen a wall like that from scum!pooky btw.

[Pavowski]

It's likely Infinity wasn't online, and that Meg or Enchant if scum would've instantly trusted back, DkKoba could've retracted the 3 at any time given players were annoyed

I agree with this. I'm also townier on skitter at the moment. And probably Faker.

Twas a long day, too long for a close read back over whatever all that was. Tomorrow will be better.

[Pavowski]

ugh i think we're all very tilted from the events of earlier >.>

(snip)
but i'm gonna sleep on this now, night y'all!

This is pretty much my entire thinking right now. It's not that I have nothing to say, it's that I don't think I or the people I'd be weighing in on are doing their best thinking right now, and I'm content to back off and slow things down.

I look back at how chill this game was 24 hours ago ... man, those were good times

[Pavowski]

That being said, I think Pooky has just about townlocked himself for me, I feel good about faker too, and I'm probably ok on skit and enchant.

[Pavowski]

Good analysis, tone, and basically does not at all sound like my experience with scum!pooky as I mentioned last night

Granted that was only one game, and I'm not shooting off a trust yet, but if we still had 2 scum I'd be giving trust there already.

What do you think about Meg?

Also curious why skitter is so far up there for you.

Re:meg I don't have strong pings ATM but am happy enough to sheep reads on the slot for now. I see you've trusted there, I think it pays off.

Re: skit he just sounds solvey to me, and posts like this one

Whatever its probably thor and now we need to go through several iterations of this

Meg/enchant are probably next
Faker/someone

Like idk coukd be pooky/inutile but i think it's thor

look to me like somebody thinking in the long term. Maybe that's easy to fake, but with Infy gone scum doesn't need to make it to the end, they'll be looking for the first chance they can get.

At least, that's how I'd view it. This is one reason I'm a bit surprised to see you offering a trust here, even though I think it's a good one.

Also I have to agree with skit on sussing Thor, lotta fluff from the slot, as much as I'm enjoying hearing about all the food you guys are eating *stomach grumbles, still 3 hours before I eat*

[Pavowski]

I'm really town, the most town I've ever been this game. If anyone doubts I'm town, just trust me and you'll see. It's the only way to prove it.

If you don't do that, I'll have to say I told you so after the game and you really don't want that, trust me.

Could you, like, actually make a case, though?

NM this I meant this to send at lunch but it didn't, and I see you've posted a bunch meanwhile, will review.

[Pavowski]

Daaaaamn. I was all getting set to defend myself to Faker and now it looks like game is over?

Sad face.

[Pavowski]

Obviously y'all just like to blow games up while I'm at work, bummer!

[Pavowski]

Daaaaamn. I was all getting set to defend myself to Faker and now it looks like game is over?

Sad face.

On some emotional, completely irrational level I still think it's you and Meg is fishing for reactions. I think you failed in that case.

So don't worry, the dream steamboat surges forward, powered by the rapidly depleting stores of delusion below deck that get shoveled into the furnace.

Imagine being scumread so hard that even when the last scum claims, Faker still thinks you're scum

[Pavowski]

Weird playing this mechanic after popcorn, traded a setup where players have virtually no agency for one where any player can blow the game at any time. Wild

Still, GG. I might we'll have trusted Infy D1 if koba hadn't stolen my quicktrust thunder

And thanks Tris!

I knew i could find you as town at least after our mini normal <3 once i truly figure out a "LHF" player, I gain >rand accuracy on them poggies

I wasn't gonna mention that game but I remembered you were psycho from that one lol

[Pavowski]

While I have never, and do not intend, to take it out on anything physical, this is the most frustrated I have been with a game in year and the feeling is what I imagine runs through the mind of people that break a hand punching a wall.

It's a game, man. Take a breath and take a step back, if you're not having fun what's the point?

You'll do better in the next one. You weren't the only one fooled!
