Mini 2247: Mountain Dew Mafia (Game Over)

[Critter]

You know, I figured I’d get more reactions to my RQS than I have so far, maybe people just don’t care when I do it anymore.
I am curious why Critter thinks Dunn is an easy read though.

Because he is. Lmao. I don’t want to out my alt yet but I think my record reading him is good compared to other players. Some players are easier reads to me than others.

How much do you like to use meta?

[Toogeloo]

I've never had a Mt.Dew or any of it's offshoots. I did have a Mellow Yellow 30ish years ago after watching Days of Thunder. The only things I know about Pepsi Products is that Mt.Dew hard carries their brand, and Taco Bell has to remind me that they serve Sierra Mist and not Sprite.

I prefer Arnold Palmers if I need caffeine.

I used to enjoy diet Mountain Dew but can’t really have it with my anxiety medication (it’s got grapefruit juice in it)
But I’d probably still enjoy a Code Red on occasion (aka WHEN I CAN FIND ONE (read that in the voice of Dad Turner from Fairly Odd Parents))

I don’t but sometimes it smacks you in the face so hard you’re like “Ouch!” and then try to figure out how to heal that obvious door that smacked you in the head.

[Gamma Emerald]

Well there goes my first guess for who you were lol

[Critter]

I would say stop trying to hunt who I am and judge me for what I bring to the table. Did your question about who I would bring to elo help sort my alignment for you?

[Gamma Emerald]

Eh that’s probably a wait-and-see thing, I’m skeptical of people who say they can read me without proper receipts, not as in I think they’re scum but just that I have a lot of people profess to know my play that actually don’t know shit about it, but I’ll see how you approach reading me here and make a call as to whether you’re full of it when you do so and give a substantial reason for it.
I’m not gonna share the answer key for pretty much as long as I can get away with it but I have certain expectations for how different alignments will react to RQS and other oddball openers. That’s why I’m dismayed it got met with indifference this game.

Let’s just say I am a once you know you know type of dude. I think if I am right people are going to start dissecting each and every little thing almost too much so just in order to get some voting going. I hate RVS with a passion and want out of it as much as possible for that reason. This game seems pretty quiet compared to most and not just your questions. A good chunk of posters in the game here tend to be in the rapid fire quick snippy posts. I am shocked I could watch a bit of YouTube and see like almost no posts. It’s refreshing.

I find meta to be misleading for most cases. It’s a fallback if I don’t know how to read someone, and even then I only account for meta I personally witnessed.

It’s a good thing I know a decent amount of the players this game at least a little bit.

I expect to find Dunn confusing in particular for me. Other challenging players might be LLD, we have broadly similar ways of thinking in my experience — which could lead to false positives on townreads from apparent mind reads, or false negatives on scumreads from apparent inconsistencies between person and play. Toog’s one where past experience could lead me astray if I lean heavy on my Death Curse memories trying to avoid repeating past mistakes.

As ever, I am always strategizing, and as ever, I am trying new tactics. I’m also busy and my free time is in flux, so I don’t plan to get lost in a rabbit hole as I did in Death Curse or Syryana’s Popcorn, to varying degrees of catastrophe. On the flip side, Pooky and Noraa are in a hydra so if I fail to keep that shit in line we can’t have a repeat of the dramatic finish of Death Curse, for which I am sad.

See you all tomorrow.

[Gamma Emerald]

I’m assuming you’ve read some games of mine given you’re not saying you expect to find me confusing?

[Milk & Mocha]

Oh snap Death Curse Reunion

Hi Mush!

Is it time to restart the Holy Church of Noraa

[Wisdom]

It's time to get an avatar for starters

[Milk & Mocha]

yes yes

Wisdom is prolly like town for this because I didn’t have an avatar and he never called me out for it and he was scum that game.

It’s technically tomorrow, I guess. That counts, right?

No, I have no use for meta I wasn’t a participant for. Players unknown to me are players for whom I have no expectations. Anything is possible.

Also, for whichever head of the Norky (Pooraa? Norpoo?) hydra that was: I refuse to be a part of any religious establishment unless it is for the sole purpose of driving a joke into the ground while everyone around me says “oh pleas make it stop I repent”. I have learned nothing but I swear it won’t happen again.

Not even a worshipper of the Wild Mother? Sounds fine to me. Long as you’re happy there’s always being a servant of the Traveler I suppose. Seems like the Traveler might be more up your alley anyway.

I like your jokey response. Not sure if it’s a serious one but I like your sense of humor.

Well, if you're going to ask... my many holy names include Beggar-Knight of Eris Militant, Wielder of "Oh No Not Again", Holy Grotesquerie of the Third Eye, Laughing Helminthic Intruder, Nulldusk Heavy Industries Co., Maw of the Void, Alterant, and one secret name I'm oathsworn not to reveal to the uninitiated.

Past holy names include The Grand Nullification, Grease-Fire of the Eleventh Sphere (still mad about this one), and High Pope of the Anti-Papal Office of Papal Anti-Popes (Defunct).

I'm entirely serious about all of this and these holy names (except Grease-Fire of the Eleventh Sphere) have been associated with me in actual things I made and (mostly) other people released to the world.

Is this Pooky posting? I’m assuming so since Noraa tags pretty often iirc

[Lady Lambdadelta]

you're 100% code red dunn? no retractions, not a gambit?
