MINI 1674: A MINIMALIST TEXT ADVENTURE DEAD THREAD

[BlueBloodedToffee]

I don't see Blank getting lynched.

He is town as fuck. RC is pretty hard to mislynch as well.

NM is lynchable. Maybe Soren as well. That's it though.

[pieguyn]

eh, huntress thinking he might have been traitor is testimony against him being town as fuck

I thought he looked town, but I think he's definitely lynchable. he was who I planned on pushing after Asher. RC also has a huge hardon for him.

Soren is (somewhat correctly) pointing out what I did to him was buddying, but I would have done probably the same thing as town. he's ez as hell to read and he should know this after the game we had before this where I town read him I think after 1 page and defended him all game. I think my read on him was reasonable. on the other hand, given the way he's trying to sell it as making him town, I don't think it'd be difficult to take that and push that I did it intentionally as his partner.

[pieguyn]

something that I learned the hard way about playing scum is that you can't just push the easiest target all the time

if you try hard enough, you can get away with some incredible bullshit. and if you actually succeed, you might be able to win a game that you otherwise would have been resigned to losing

like, I legit thought I might have been able to lynch notsci at one point - then the game went to shit and Cho flipped and I kind of... didn't

(I hate to bring this game up) Tales of You is the best example of this. the scum team literally mislynched everyone scum reading them so that they could NK all the important roles/completely-unlynchable players at night, most of which would have been (or were) able to incriminate them. *if* they didn't approach the game exactly in that way, they would have made it pretty far into the game but I doubt they wouldn't have come up short near the end; it was only bc they managed to get a bunch of ridiculous mislynches in that they could get all the way to the end

there was a newbie game where Nacho lynched me (Soren was in it). of course I shut that down by essentially forcing the town to lynch him and then his scum partner right afterward, but he was fucked either way and lynching me and then creating a bunch of WIFOM with his partner the next day (which would have been MYLO) was his only shot at victory

if huntress tryhards enough, I bet she could get at least the first 2 of mislynches in, and maybe 3

[pieguyn]

it's really dumb because we *should* have had the first 2/4 mislynches by now, but due to our kill failing N1 and me being unceremoniously killed N2 neither of them got us anywhere

this is why i went for notty
which he townread me for as expected

[pieguyn]

Well I was about to flatline Pieguyn but she's already flipped, so I'm going to do the next best thing right now.

lol'ing at this

it's amusing to see RC trying to make me think he can read me

[Bins]

I agree. I sort of wish the Traitor was recruit-able. Scum definitely didn't get "out-played" at all, so it sucks it's going so badly for them.

[Marquis]

all 3 of us were in great positions and I honestly think that I can say that objectively

but I think I'm trying to be saltier than I actually am

[BlueBloodedToffee]

LOL.

RC is making it pretty easy for everyone to lynch her.

[Marquis]

why is my friend always dead

[Bins]

dw u havent noticed yet

[Malakittens]

Yesssss

[Marquis]

ftr this standardized traitor is an ok thing in that it encourages scum to try to kill town rather than a possible sk/traitor

[pieguyn]

yes, but any scum player who is playing optimally is going to look town, so that kind of defeats the point

the only argument I can see for it being good is that it's inherently negative utility in that there's a nonzero chance one of the scum team's NKs winds up hitting the traitor instead of a town player, hurting them as a result - but there are better, less random ways to make a traitor negative utility if that's what you're going for, and even then, when played correctly, this won't happen since the traitor should be signaling to the scum team who they are

I admit I didn't really play this right in that I didn't adequately signal to you all it was me who was the traitor, btw. still kicking myself bc I thought you all knew :<

speaking of that I have no idea why the fuck I even got NK'ed when everyone was suspecting me for my D2 play (which btw wasn't a good reason for scum reading me since I likely would have played similarly as town; multiball would drastically affect how I'd read people and I would not have wanted to go on a wild goose chase looking for shit when there was a chance it'd all get invalidated anyway). I guess it means the town in this game is so collectively off track that Huntress didn't care and decided to kill me anyway

[pieguyn]

all 3 of us were in great positions and I honestly think that I can say that objectively

and yeah I agree with this, except possibly myself because I didn't do a good enough job of making it clear I was the traitor and was thus at risk for being killed -.-

[Marquis]

she thought you were the doc

[Marquis]

which... idek bc of nottywagon

[pieguyn]

she tried to NK notsci N1?

[Bins]

welcome to RC

[pieguyn]

legit question, did you actually have a scum read on me? now I'm curious <_>

[RadiantCowbells]

This town was embarassing.

Truly so.

[RadiantCowbells]

yes pie I was pretty positive you were scum but I wasn't going to say anything until I finished with BBT.

[RadiantCowbells]

And while it is usually pretty hard to mislynch me, when town are ignoramuses like they were in this game it's pretty easy to do so.

[RadiantCowbells]

Mafia deserves this win far more than town, and they'll probably get it with these players.

[pieguyn]

it actually looks plausible Huntress might win this

Soren and The Bulge are the next 2 mislynches, and after that it's a tossup

and the primary investigative PR got lolflashlynched D1 already (wahaha)
