Touhou UPick 2 - [Game Over]

[fferyllt]

Ferry, can you confirm that the spellcard "Wind God Hidden Among Tree Leaves" is a self-commute?

Pretty much.

[Magua]

VOTE: VictorDeAngelo

I was going to wait on that vote, but tbqh, I just can't be arsed. Vezok killing Sakura while townreading Victor is just such a lolsplosion that I feel the obligatory head-exploding-gif-reaction doesn't actually do it justice. Which is super-sad, because outside of vote shenanigans I actually need Vezok's vote to actually lynch scum, and prescient news flash: two weeks are going to drag by at a snail's pace and then the Day is going to end in a no lynch.

At least this way I can "I told you so" afterwards.

Like fferyllt's questions, starry-eyed-edly awaiting actual thoughts as to the answers. Mechanics questions are pointless. This setup has a roleblocking-vigilante-innocent-child. Best check the part of your brain that tries to figure shit out at the door, because it's not going to help here.

I really, really, really, really wanted Pim to be scum. Pim was going out of his way to make a post to avoid being prodded while at the same time not saying anything

at all

of value. I read it entirely as stalling and foot-dragging. I've been on

more than my fair share of

mislynches in the past, but this one I utterly do not apologize for. Pim was scum and needed to die.

It's not my fault that FakeGod screwed up the flip and posted it in the wrong color.

vote magua

If this guy isn't scum then the game ia trolling us.

Explain this. These cryptic comments from someone who has been in the game from the start, is mod confirmed town, and who should be able to help replacements understand the context are kinda frustrating.

[zMuffinMan]

two weeks are going to drag by at a snail's pace and then the Day is going to end in a no lynch

eh, tbh, i don't see that as so much of a bad thing here. regardless of whether the second killing party is SK or whether it's two scum teams, scum pretty much need to cross kill here and no lynching to force the issue here seems like not a bad idea.

the only way i see a scum lynch happening today is with scum's help

[zMuffinMan]

The way he responded to knowing he will die. He didn't seem like concerned scum.

but he didn't die

This is Benmage in A Storm of Swords all over again. Governing scum and leading lynches on town in lylo.

[Magua]

Like, literally, you went and killed the towniest-because-they're-town-not-because-of-mod-confirmation player, and roleblocked them from killing the most-obvious-scum-player-who-was-only-not-lynched-yesterday-because-they-were-going-to-get-vigged.

[Varsoon]

Can't say I'm fond of any of this.

[zMuffinMan]

what are you fond of?

[Varsoon]

Pizza, mostly.

[zMuffinMan]

there are no pizzas in gensoukyou

[Magua]

Can't say I'm fond of any of this.

Can't say I'm fond of the confirmed towns here either.

To use his own logic against him, though, I don't think there'd be two neighborhoods that were completely town, and I have a lot more confidence that Victor is town over him.

WELL HEY GUESS WHAT NOTSCIENCE WAS TOWN SO WHO DOES THAT LEAVE?

[Varsoon]

Ugh. I don't want to believe Victor is scum solely because of that, though.
He was supposed to be, like, my partner, my buddy, my ally against the dark.
:l
I don't want to think of Victor as scum.

[VictorDeAngelo]

We shouldn't be actively hunting the SK (assuming there is one) as I'm pretty sure lynching the SK is a mistake.

victor, what are your actual reads? there's so much waffle in 1323 that i can't actually tell where you stand on certain people (e.g. i'm unsure what your actual read on RB is, and it looks like you have hanasawa as a scum read but she isn't in the three people you want to lynch today)

If you thought 1323 was waffley then just wait until I start producing proper walls

TNE is my top scumread, hence the vote. I would put Bitmap next, then notscience. Unless something major happens I won't be voting anyone else today and they can be town for now.

So here, all his scumreads are now known town. Which sometimes happens, but still. Bitmap had just claimed an investigative role and is next most scummy to him.

Well that will happen when every single flip in a game is town. This game has been pretty terrible. I'm not the only one playing badly.

And Bitmap was counterclaimed by Sakura and the leading wagon when I replaced in so I don't see why I'm being singled out for this.

Interesting fenscesit on TNE, worth looking at after a flip.

I'll let you revise your stance after your reread to be fair.

Back later

This post was in an exchange with NS. It has a bit of a foreknowledge feel to it.

How so?

Still not liking the day 2 victor posts after reading with more context.

Ugh. Hate blanket statements like this.

The way he responded to knowing he will die. He didn't seem like concerned scum.

but he didn't die

Based on Sakura's description of her spellcard, did you think there was any chance of me dying last night?

[zMuffinMan]

I don't want to think of Victor as scum

who do you think is scum?

Based on Sakura's description of her spellcard, did you think there was any chance of me dying last night?

i thought you would die. but you didn't (and i do not buy that she was fake-claiming the strongman stuff given i cannot make sense of her play at the end of yesterday if she was fake-claiming that, but i do not see much point in speculating about why you survived right now in case i am wrong)

"the way he responded to knowing he will die" is a nonsensical statement given you didn't die

[zMuffinMan]

Like, literally, you went and killed the towniest-because-they're-town-not-because-of-mod-confirmation player, and roleblocked them from killing the most-obvious-scum-player-who-was-only-not-lynched-yesterday-because-they-were-going-to-get-vigged

i do not really like his choice of vig shot, but i do not see much point in crying over spilled milk

do you have suspects other than victor?

[Kagami]

i do not really like his choice of vig shot, but i do not see much point in crying over spilled milk

I expected more mockery of the IC than this, o.o

I think we need a real answer for what Cold Snap did.

And now we have kagami coming in with fluff posting 101.

How to fluff post: Say something that doesn't relate to the game then ask rolefish a little.

Seriously if kagami and magua are not scum together this game is just trolling us.

@zmuffin: If you commute can you use other actions?

[vezokpiraka]

Also for those not seeing it: Magua voted for the only person who he can't unvote. And then he complains of a deadline no lynch. Can you not see how scum he is?

[zMuffinMan]

I expected more mockery of the IC than this

i totally and utterly disagree but i respect your right to have differing opinions

@zmuffin: If you commute can you use other actions?

it's automatic, and no

Not in the slightest. I had no way of knowing the kill was stoppable or Vezok would stop it. I had every reason to beleive I would die. That's half the reason I'm in so many games right now is because I thought I was as good as dead in half of them.

So yeah, unless your saying I am psychic the argument doesn't fly.

Like Varsoon already said, it turned off our neighbourhood for the night.

[zMuffinMan]

Magua voted for the only person who he can't unvote. And then he complains of a deadline no lynch. Can you not see how scum he is?

he might be scum, but i don't think those are good reasons for thinking he's scum. i could see both of those coming from either alignment, really. i'm more concerned with his fixation on victor to the point it's all he really talks about.

[zMuffinMan]

So yeah, unless your saying I am psychic the argument doesn't fly.

i'm saying if you're scum, you knew the kill was not going to go through
