Micro 303: Tarot uPick - Game Over!

[TheIrishPope]

Thank you!

[fferyllt]

Fun Fact: The deck she's going blank on is the first Tarot deck I acquired. These days, I'd pass over it solely on the basis of the cardbacks, never mind the Rider Waite symbology/Tarot snob.

Other fun fact: The deck I passed over for that one is the deck this game is based upon.

Vote Count 1.11

Medea the Alien - 3 (Garruk Relentless, orcinus_theoriginal, Perpetual Nonsense)
Perpetual Nonsense - 2 (Nazarene, GuyInFreezer)
TheIrishPope - 2 (kagami, Medea the Alien),
orcinus_theoriginal - 1 (alduskkel)
kagami - 1 (TheIrishPope )

Deadline March 14, 11:59 PM US Eastern Time (GMT-4)

Not voting: Nobody!

With 9 alive, it takes 5 votes to lynch.

Nightfall is in (expired on 2014-03-14 20:59:00)

[Perpetual Nonsense]

Because role. I have a passive ability that only activates upon your death. I'm not claiming what my role is though. Taking it to the goddamn grave there.

I had to choose a player to tether to pre-game, I chose you.

seriously?

If Bert's leading the Collective, it's scum.
If Gaiden is, it's town

thsi better be SSK because if it's Nat, this post is full of it. u have it backwards NAT

stop messing with me lol

[Perpetual Nonsense]

let me ask you this - when does Gaiden lead in games??????????????????? never. end of.

[Perpetual Nonsense]

Lol Garruk

[Kagami]

Medea.

I think you're town.

But I still need you lynched.

I'm town, nati.

I don't understand this, though. Why tether to cabd/PA instead of a player who is likely to be less useful if town? Seems to me like you had a free policy lynch, but cabd/PA is a terrible PL.

[Perpetual Nonsense]

yeah becuase medea is a hard lynch to tether to, unless you were banking on them drawing town and being NKed early??? still risky

TIP and us would have been MUCH better choices

[Perpetual Nonsense]

you really could have just let the lynch go through and never told us it was a fakeclaim...

[Kagami]

...

Didn't want to be mean, but pretty much this >.>

[Perpetual Nonsense]

Gaiden says this depicts his mood, and The Collective agrees.

Spoiler: Gaiden's mood

[Nazarene]

Re: Hated claim. The Heads of the Hydra have crumbed the mechanic of the hated claim so it can be retroactively corroborated. This Head of the Hydra sees no need to divulge a mechanic that he knows will not last indefinitely. It will not affect play.

I'm not sure I've ever played with Bert outside of marathon/skype Mafia, but doesn't he usually town it up when he's town?

Aldu should be sorted. This Head of the Hydra does not like Ald's posts at all. Scumlean.

ald i have at null but i want to put him somewhere

points of interest: no vote, scumread on me that's based on a misrep and no vote to follow

vla though so that's kinda dull

We will expect a follow-up on this.

lol TIP hasn't done anything in this game...........no idea about him tbh. blank, so a toss-up. i won't cry if he's lynched, but wharves.

He seems like a decent lynch to us.

I would only be willing to lynch Kag today if we lynch TIP tomorrow if Kag flips town. Discuss.

-A

how about an urgency and desire in finding the right person today to lynch?? *shrug*

Which is why I am imposing conditions on people I would rather not lynch.

i remember his town game to be somewhat abtruse, but that was a while ago

what do you make of his play so far

It's all based on what I want to do in the game. Sometimes I like to be cryptic. Sometimes I like to be transparent. Sometimes I like to be passive. Sometimes I like to be over-active. I have no set play.

his vote on us is pretty shallow

medea hasnt really done anything to warrant his "moving medea to town for now" comment after the nat's fakeclaim

overall not really inspired play from him at all

null-scum, also his positions on ppl look lazy and his approach on u was weird as heck

For you maybe
The abrupt "o hey that reaction though" felt town to me.
But as I said, I'm kinda not satisfied with the whole interaction because of how abrupt it ended.

ald i have at null but i want to put him somewhere

points of interest: no vote, scumread on me that's based on a misrep and no vote to follow

vla though so that's kinda dull

That's about what I have on aldus, except for switching null to leaning scum.

For the fun between Garruk and Medea, for now happy to move Medea to town, even though I wasn't quite satisfied with the back-and-forth.

What weren't you satisfied with? As I think I've made clear, I'd like to get maximum value out of this, and it's already helped persuade me of town-Nazarene and likely town-Garruk. Scum reads have only solidified, but I'll take the definitive impact on town reads.

Explained above.

[Alduskkel]

I'm not sure I've ever played with Bert outside of marathon/skype Mafia, but doesn't he usually town it up when he's town?

In asking this, I assume you think he hasn't towned it up. Is your read on them currently the absence of a town read or an actual scum read? With reasons, please.

At the time just the absence of a town read. Their recent posts (dunno if Bert or Gaiden) make me feel better though, they feel like genuine attempts at scumhunting.

Medea.

I think you're town.

But I still need you lynched.

Because role. I have a passive ability that only activates upon your death. I'm not claiming what my role is though. Taking it to the goddamn grave there.

I had to choose a player to tether to pre-game, I chose you.

Oh yeah I totally believe this.

I'm not getting on board with a Medea lynch.

If Bert's leading the Collective, it's scum.
If Gaiden is, it's town.

orcinus is in limbo.

Aegor's probtown.
Kagami is scum--I didn't really want to disband that wagon, actually, but c'est la vie.

TIP's a designated mislynch.

What is the collective and why is TIP a designated mislynch?

[Nazarene]

I'm liking bert better now.
I'm also feeling, just as garruk is, that TIP probably is town but very likely to be mislynched. Aegor doesn't really agree here.

Anyway, we want to move a vote to where we both feel comfortable. That would mean either towards kagami or towards alduskkel.

VOTE: alduskkel

He's been coasting pretty hard on his orc vote now and I see no attempts at figuring out the game. All the stuff he says is incredibly weak and useless.

Because role. I have a passive ability that only activates upon your death. I'm not claiming what my role is though. Taking it to the goddamn grave there.

I had to choose a player to tether to pre-game, I chose you.

I still think you're town, albeit it town who decided to base their usefulness on the death of a strong player (yes, I'm talking about Cabd before people start calling me massively egotistical). I do kind of enjoy that you've made us effectively BP though.

GIF, I see what you mean about things ending abruptly with the fake daycop. Thing was, I would have liked to let it play out, but Garruk slipped, which meant that if someone did LOLhammer, our town flip would have made Garruk all but guaranteed to be the next lynch, and I think that would also have been a mislynch.

Tier-Nazarene, why is Alduskkel less useful than TIP and orcinus?

Garruk, why is Kagami such a strong scum read here? And if you're so sure, why not lynch her today before trying to activate your claimed ability? PRs are all well and good, but I'd rather be considering your situation from a 6:1 perspective than 7:2, or worse have been policy/gambit lynched and go into tomorrow watching the town at 5:2 whether or not you have some shiny new role.

So Cabd should be getting in here, but his take on the Gaiden thing is that Gaiden playing in an anti-town fashion doesn't make him town; it just masks his scum game. I'm not meta diving to back that up, but unless you are seriously proposing that Gaiden would be playing differently as scum, I have no problem judging your hydra on what you actually do here. And what you've done is scummy.

Orcinus, when you posted this:

VOTE: medea

actually getting to stuff later tonight

How much of the game were you current with, in terms of actually having opinions and not just seeing, 'daycop!' :VOTE:?

[fferyllt]

I will have semi-limited access to the internet until Thursday sometime, but will try to keep a frequent eye on this game.

[Nazarene]

Tier-Nazarene, why is Alduskkel less useful than TIP and orcinus?

Can't believe I said he was. All three are pretty useless, mkay.

So that's 'nothing' then? Why did you feel it was a good idea to toss out a vote on a claim that was so ridiculous without getting context? What do you think of the gambit after hearing the complete explanation?

Tier-Nazarene, why is Alduskkel less useful than TIP and orcinus?

Sorry, phrased that poorly. You said that Alduskkel was posting useless things, implying that that was your motive for voting him. I'm asking what pushes him ahead of TIP's anti-town uselessness where he ignores events entirely or orcinus whose back and forth with PN was as engaged as he's gotten. (And reading his side of it in ISO, he's vague, asking questions but not giving opinions. The only things he's come out swinging about are the hated mechanic and our scum read on him.)

[Alduskkel]

hi

VOTE: ald

Thank you for confirming my vote on you you bandwagoning scum whose idea of playing is "harp on the hated thing for a bajillion years."

Where are all the TIP town reads coming from? I mean, I get it if you don't think he's scum (I have him at null), but town? Really?

[Nazarene]

I want an answer to ald's question: how can anyone really be town reading TIP at the moment?

[Perpetual Nonsense]

We are beginning to feel the urge to hammer something.
Can someone put someone at L-1 for us?

Hi I am here and penguin tells me you are scum. My little reaction test on you is lost to the abyss of fuckyouhohumgetarealserver so can you help me re-create it by pretending I just voted for you and called you confirmed scum from meta?

[Medea the Alien]

At this point I fucking pray that TIP is scum (which he sounds like yay), or if he's town that PN is scum (bonus if both scum) because neither of those fuckers should be anywhere near potetial lylo.
