Micro 303: Tarot uPick - Game Over!

[Medea the Alien]

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.

Gaiden's a lazy fucker regardless of alignment so yeah, they don't get to sell that as a towntell. Insert another quarter, try again.

[GuyInFreezer]

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

Please open your mouth so I can insert my foot in there

[Garruk Relentless]

I tied to you so I had an ace in the hole to get you lynched when I wanted to, Medea.

[orcinus_theoriginal]

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

i had been on vla for 3 days

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?

Only if you make this a 1v1

[orcinus_theoriginal]

I will always support gambits by other players in the game if it doesn't directly harm town

I thought that it was underwhelming after hearing the explanation but I don't really care because I'm scum reading you guys

[orcinus_theoriginal]

Did alds vote get eaten by tigers or something

[Medea the Alien]

It's allll tigers, all the way down. But eh, not worried about you misreading me, tomorrow will make it easy for you. I'm gonna head to staples.

[GuyInFreezer]

LA until Sunday.

this question implies you think that i am town

I'll admit that you jumping on gambits doesn't shock me, but the lack of engagement bothers me still. It's not as bad as TIP burying his head in the sand, but as I said at the end of 269 I don't see you putting out much in the way of opinions that you're willing to stand behind. You're scum reading us and spent a lot of time trying to wheedle out info on the claimed Hated mechanic. When you did get into a discussion, your involvement was basically asking questions, and your contributions were pretty vague.

Cabd seems sure he can sort you one way or the other given time though. I don't have anything useful that's more recent than Micro 99, so I'll punt this one to him.

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

Do you think it's a valid question? Given where your vote is. Because I still want an answer to my inquiry in 269 before the deadline runs out...

lack of engagement?

you mean

when i popped in to check on my games

before my vla was over

to hop on a gambit vote, i wasn't engaged? is that what you mean?

cabd seems to have switched his stance then

[TheIrishPope]

I'm here

[Alduskkel]

Medea, join me and vote orcinus.

[Medea the Alien]

orcinus, it's the 'hop on' part that bothers me in terms of engagement, not the 'industriousness of doing so during V/LA' part. You say you support fellow players' gambits--presumably that's because you think useful results are gleaned. But I don't get where you've followed up to move the game forward based on what happened.

And that's in addition to your general approach as outlined in that quote. Your exchange with PN left me feeling all kinds of uneasy about your motives, and I don't think rereading it that I learned anything new about your take on things.

Talk to me about Alduskkel. Nazarene is simultaneously voting him and reinforcing his question, and you aren't making a case there either. His activity's been lousy, but he tried to engage with the game.

P-edit: Alduskkel, why? We have half a day to deadline and no wagons > 2 votes. orcinus isn't a town read, but at least he's responding at all, unlike TIP. Frankly I'd rather you joined us on TIP, although given that a third of the player list hasn't posted in over two days, I'm not optimistic about us avoiding a no-lynch at all.

[Nazarene]

I'm sorry, had no idea we were this close to deadline.

How is ald engaging with the game?

-Tier

[Alduskkel]

Oh fine.

Vote: TIP

[Medea the Alien]

I'm sorry, had no idea we were this close to deadline.

How is ald engaging with the game?

-Tier

I thought #262 was at least trying to get a foothold in things. And Alduskkel felt like lost town to me, although I'm not sure if he just looks good in comparison to TIP. I assume your heads are still disagreeing about Alduskkel, give this:

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

Tier, why do you think TIP is town, assuming the above was Aegor?

--PA

[Nazarene]

No, we both have alduskkel as scum. 262 looks actually really scummy for me, the way he talks about you there. Can't you see yourself voting ald?

I'm not convinced TIP is town but he surely makes a shitty mislynch since there is very little information to be gained because both scum and town might have been soft-pushing him like this. The uninspired wagon that has been dragging doesn't really look like a wagon on scum either.

[Nazarene]

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

Do you think it's a valid question? Given where your vote is.

Yes. This Head of the Hydra would love nothing more than to let a metaphorical noose squeeze the life force out of TIP, but my other Head is more reticent in that regard for reasons listed in-thread.

Because I still want an answer to my inquiry in 269 before the deadline runs out...

I can answer only for myself. Orc has content. I do not like that content very much, but at least it is there. Ald has made no attempt to scumhunt whatsoever except for a completely awful and factually inaccurate case on orc. TIP should die a horrible death, but as my other Head has stated, he is a low-info lynch. Ald therefore has the edge.


-A

[Nazarene]

And we agree about Ald. It is simply a matter of which horribly scummy player is the scummiest, and which should be lynched today (they do not necessarily coincide).


-A

[Perpetual Nonsense]

We are not getting prodded.

[Nazarene]

It is really disturbing to this Head of the Hydra that activity is this low at seven hours before deadline. I suppose people have work, but a NL is frightening possible.

This Head vehemently recommends that those who are the only ones voting their current vote targets pick from among the 2-vote wagons.

-A

[fferyllt]

Kagami has been prodded.

[Nazarene]

Guys what the crap

Get your fucking asses in here

PN why don't you wanna vote ald?
