Micro 267 - Indie Game: The UPick - Game Over!

[BROseidon]

A day 2 policy lunch answers this shit.

[My Milked Eek]

No thanks, I'm full.

[BROseidon]

Phone post ftw

[My Milked Eek]

Ok, after some delay:

Town reads on:

Broseidon, TV, Xscorpion, Trine

Not so sure:

GG (leaning town on this one)
- I like his early posts. One thing I don't like is him defending hermy like that. Of course, if he didn't no one would have, not even Hermy herself.

tier
- his entry is hilarious (page 8). He's caught up and we should notify him of anything he has missed. Yet he only comments on a post broseidon made on page 2. He puts him at L-1 not even reading the thread. I don't care, if you don't see the votecount 7-10 posts above yours and if you can't add the vote in the post above yours, you're not reading the thread. I'm getting mixed signals from his newbie replacement claim onwards. @Tier: would you have any objections to be being lynched today considering you believe Who's claim?

Desperado
- I'm not sure what to make of desperado. We just finished a game together and I remember instantly reading him as town as the game started. Of course, he was in a hydra and I could have been reading the other head, but he also felt more active, more out there. I'm not that familiar with his meta, but reading his iso, I just don't see him as a townie, I see a lot of trying and a lot of nothing. His scum reads are convenient, I don't know. He's making clear that he's suspicious of people, but he's not really doing anything about it.

Scumreads:

Who
- Several of his votes are... they feel out of place. His Trine to TV wagon hop, the wagon he hopped away from had more votes so his reason to do that hop was bull. His desperado null-scum read is non-committing to the max. GG is town for the thing with Hermy, a few posts later and GG is scum with hermy by association. Reactiontest to desp was really dumb. Not scummy, but dumb. Wanted to mention that. "

Because Hermy to me seems too scummy to be too scummy to be scum.

" he posted this in the same post he's voting hermy because she put bro at L-1. This is not consistent with his role claim. He votes tiershift, while he's (I believe) convinced of hermy (me) being scum. I should check if the wagon was building on tier at that time and who was on it and when. His entire scumhunting feels non-committal and made up. He leaves possibilities to backtrack. His claim is fake and doesn't match with his play. If I were a town time traveller, I'd hammer anyone in sight of L-1. No questions asked. Aside from myself of course >_>

Vote: Who

That's

L-1

btw.


If we're not lunching Who, I'd rather see desp or tier go.
Are we also making suggestions for bro to visit or are we hoping that he has some common sense on who to visit?


I might go into detail later, but it's late and I'm tired as hell.

[Trine]

I <3 everything that Eek has posted today, though I don't agree with all of it.

Town: BROseidon, My Milked Eek, Xscorpion, GrimGroove
Null: Tier, Desperado
Scum: Who, TV

These are my reads, and are reshaped by my reactions to the last couple of pages. My compatriots may not agree with all of them. I hope they have a chance to post reads before someone hammers, but if not you at least have these for tomorrow.

I was saying that I didn't mind dying for the good cause, since we would have a confscum d2.

But I changed my mind.

If scum don't kill we could get a conftown someone else and probtown me, or I could save my role for when they do kill, also we get a conftown from BRO. Also, the wording of my role PM implies the possibility for more than one death per night.

About TS, I would say that his willingness to be lynched looks Towny but a bit too quick to trust (From his perspective I might be scum postponing my lynch by a day) and could be a traitor. The possibility of one traitor+2scum is present given my role, and the traitor, if they exist, would want to sacrfice themselves to prevent two conftowns.

I don't think at all that my willingness to be lynched looks townie. The way you are trying to paint me black thereafter is horrific.

There is a very important detail that you forgot to mention about your role. You would need to be told at the end of the night who is killed by pm, otherwise all your posts don't make sense. I see no way how you could forget to include that.

Does anyone have ANY idea how this role could possibly be balanced out in a 9p game?

INTENT TO HAMMER

Countdown:

UNVOTE: Who

That is one SICK role. I suppose you can also use it when NK'd?
I just can't believe that we're basically playing the game with 2 conftowns...
I'd be totally fine with getting lynched now.

If you refuse to rewind time tomorrow after lynching a townie+a townie getting nightkilled you should be lynched whatever happens.

I realize that if I don't get cleared by rewinding time I will probably be lynched the next day. Still, I'm gonna push for an Eek lynch, lynching possible scum is still better than lynching town.
VOTE: Eek

The previous player in your spot didn't do anything

not

scummy and you have just been lurking. Wanna share your thoughts about the game?

He is not afraid of including strange and seemingly really-powerful roles in his games, and that game had 3 scum out of 10 people, this one easily could.

[TierShift]

@Eek: in my mind, voting for a player and wanting to hammer said player feel similar.

Ok so that was a marathon game (hint: they are often fucked up) without any OP roles as in the whole game centers around the role.

You're making up excuses.

After all, who can always rejoin us if he's telling the truth, no?

[Who]

After all, who can always rejoin us if he's telling the truth, no?

I can, but then it turns what could have been a 2-shot cop into an IC, and does not give our investigative PR(s) a chance to investigate. What is wrong with just lynching me tomorrow if I'm lying?

Also, Alduskkel said in the queue "I have modded 4 marathon UPicks before, if you want to get an idea of what sort of roles I come up with. (1) (2) (3) (4) The first one was a little half-assed, but the other three I think turned out nicely and are more representative anyway." so I think the marathons are a fair judge. Also, after having read those, it has occurred to me that the princess might be looking for me, I know I'm looking for her.

[TierShift]

Lol trine I keep forgetting that, it's just so ridiculous how a role can even do that.

VOTE: Tiershift
His scumminess has eclipsed Hermy's in my opinion.

[Trine]

Does this make bro scum, or am I missing something?

[BROseidon]

It makes me the only person here who's fucking competent.

VOTE: Tiershift I guarantee that both scum were on that wagon, given that I was the only one to point out that THE OPTIMAL PLAY WAS A DAY 2 POLICY LYNCH AND EVERYONE FUCKING IGNORED THAT.

[BROseidon]

LIKE HOLY SHIT GUYS.

YOU DAY 2 POLICY THAT CLAIM.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

[TierShift]

BRO you must be right. There absolutely need to be 2 scum on that wagon.

Does this make bro scum, or am I missing something?

This post gives me the chills, it's creepy as fuck. There is no way that scum would have wanted to not lynch who, there just is no way.

VOTE: Trine

This completely clears BRO and to a lesser extent desp and TV.

[TierShift]

Actually, scratch the last part. It might also be a scum gambit to push a handful of mislynches.

Still Trine's post creeps me the fuck out.
