House of the Dragon - Game Over!

[Thestatusquo]

So when do we get our blood sport pooky.

[VP Baltar]

Spoiler:

Ok, so here is my actual concern and maybe i'm fucking crazy, but I don't care.

Datisi is traditionally extremely good at playing cop in my experience. In both those games linked, Datisi got guilties immediately on scum. Hell, first time I came back to the site, Datisi guiltied me without knowing my meta at all. So I'm just sitting here like, wtf is going on this game? That's not evidence alone, but it has me tweaked for sure because I was sort of expecting town!datisi to have proven himself by the second shot.

Datisi has also seemed very placating this game. He isn't really mixing it up with anyone (except dwlee) in a way that feels like Datisi when he wants someone dead. There's no paranoia about me being expressed, and I felt like the town read on me was abnormally easy. I've kind of set this aside because I was willing to trust in my datisi town read, but the results have me very concerned this was a ploy to keep me placated. I think scum!tisi knows I'm more willing to give him some leeway when I'm town.

I'm also bugged by the fact that both of Datisi's cop results are leading to people heading directly into council slots. Now, this makes a certain amount of sense if you trust Datisi, but it did occur to me this morning that the whole "kill Johnny and use that as a way to appoint Mastina prince" plan originated with Datisi. I felt like that was a very weird thought to just randomly have, especially when Datisi has been a little disengaged at times this game. Still, it felt like it could be real yesterday. Now, we have Andres dying (which feels like a weird scum shot to me despite him being widely townread), and the result just happens to be on Titus so she is the obvious choice to be Kingsguard Commander? That's a major fucking coincidence I do not like at all.

Titus is playing weird all game saying she wants chaos, and in the Kingsguard thread made a strange post about maybe not wanting to be commander, then when I questioned her on it, she immediately self votes.

I also started thinking about why the fuck the tracker keeps dying (seems worthwhile if you're hiding scum actions on council) and why Pooky would make a game that just results in follow the cop if town makes semi-reasonable choices on D1. There is just a lot of fuckey shit that's happening and I'm tinfoiling out of my brain that this is all a big risky scum play to sway or change council control.

Someone tell me I'm insane and have me committed.

Like of course that entire plan would crumble if Datisi ever flipped, but you'd have to be a paranoid maniac to flip the cop.

Hi.

I would take thoughts beyond that.

[Roden]

I really don't believe that

Just a hunch

[Roden]

I'll give you a hint

Johnny's silent apathy might have something to do with it

[VP Baltar]

What?

[Roden]

Yeah I knew you'd just say "what?"

What are your thoughts on Johnny not bothering to defend himself or engage with anyone? Why do you think he didn't try to challenge me in the death pit when he was pressured to do so?

[VP Baltar]

This is the dumbest line if questioning. I don't care what Johnny's thoughts were.

He wasn't even playing the game as far as I'm concerned and I'd yeet him again 10/10 times. If you sign up to play a game, the least you can do is make even a moderate effort. If you have less posts in the game than there are vote counts, you deserved to get limmed.

[Roden]

Can you answer the question

[VP Baltar]

I literally have no clue why Johnny played like that. That'd my answer. What have you learned from these questions

[Firebringer]

i don't see the point in this questioning roden

@Dat

Please buddy, does Town!VP Balter actually do this shit?
This entire game he has been just been doing shading questions over and over again with no individuality.
When I read this guys town game he usually does questioning to get solving out of it and shares his concern.
I don’t fucking see that here bud, all I see is VP’s wolf play.

[ProfessorDrapion]

i don't see the point in this questioning roden

I’m beginning to think your a wolf and should put you in that PoE.

[Firebringer]

-Ok

[ProfessorDrapion]

This entire game VP just been shading or shielding and mainly shielding GL.

I dare you to find me one post where VP wasn’t from a question, good luck cause there isn’t any I don’t believe.

Like guys look, VP has been doing these kinda questioning this entire game.
Sure questioning is in his meta but when this dude is town he finds a way to build on and have an individual thought and gets to solving.
He isn’t doing that here.
He’s just doing questions to shade.


He is basically trying to say “oh Johnny being ML’ed was his fault lol, all voters are innocent like me”
And then the fucking dude is basically like “Roden and my PoE doesn’t need to change lol”
Like honestly, that isn’t town my guys.

[ProfessorDrapion]

-Ok

You know better if your town.
You should realize VP Balter’s questioning this game is bad.

[Firebringer]

i have no idea why u would think appealing to me in this way is going to make me reaccess VPB.
I legit asked what the point of this questioning from Roden is because i dont get it and maybe this is from a 10+ work day and used all brain power but i need someone to dumb it down to me what this questioning about johnny serves. I don't get it.

What is the point. What am i missing in this questioning that is a smoking gun or will help get scumread or even townread on VPB. It looks pointless. I might be stupid. I don't see it.

I am not going to even try to untangle the mess ur talking about.
I do think VPB has done some reaccessing based on flip why would he think scum pushed it when he was on it and already townread everyone on it. I dont get ur point on scumVPB at this point. Why wouldn't townVPB think this.

[Firebringer]

What are your thoughts on Johnny not bothering to defend himself or engage with anyone? Why do you think he didn't try to challenge me in the death pit when he was pressured to do so?

im sorry in what world does answers to questions like this mean anything.
What does Johnny mindset help in solving the current game. Unless johnny had some magical insight of who scum is that ur trying to point to....I don't get what this is going for.

[VP Baltar]

Smh.

WWJD

[Thestatusquo]

Who Wants JDodge.

[Roden]

Do you see me scum casing you? Calm the fuck down, your intensity is unwarranted and I won't be engaging with you if that's how you'll choose to talk to me. I'll just match your energy otherwise and I don't want to deal with that kind of stress.

I want to understand your perspective on what's happening, and I want you to understand mine. I'd like for you to at least guess at Johnny's motives.

[Firebringer]

am i dumb here

[ProfessorDrapion]

One cannot not simply be dumb.
However one can act dumb, of which can change themselves to no longer act dumb.

[VP Baltar]

I want to understand your perspective on what's happening, and I want you to understand mine. I'd like for you to at least guess at Johnny's motives.

I am not getting worked up, I just literally don't know what the answer is or what this tells you.

I am guessing Johnny was behind and was too lazy to catch up and engage in the game. I am basing this thought on absolutely nothing because I am not a mind reader.

As far as my thoughts, I posted who my main scum suspects are, as well as my own theory on what could be happening if I'm very wrong.

Trial by Combat

The Jester and the Mountain Pt. 2

Baltar fumed at the memory of being humiliated by that stupid clown - stumbling around like a blind man as the tomato juice ran all over his face. Smelling like a pizza for weeks afterwards.

The thought of him being made to look like a fool by that bumbling halfwit boiled his blood - a reputation as a stone cold killer that had taken years to cultivate completely shattered. Where people used to tread gingerly around him in fear and anticipation - now everyone just snickered and laughed - he could hear them whispering tomato man behind his back. There was only one way to make things right - he had to make an example out of that stupid clown.

This time Baltar stepped into the arena wearing no armor, dressed in just a loincloth - all of his impressive muscles on display. His chiseled chest and bulging biceps seemed out of a cartoon - shining with a golden bronze tan beneath the hot midday sun. Powerful legs shaped like tree trunks rose from the ground and ended in an ass worthy of a Roman bust. Broad powerful shoulders scarred with cuts from long ago gave him a commanding presence - for a moment the crowd quieted to a hush as they oohed and aahed at this impressive specimen of a man. He lifted his longsword towards the King in a salute and then faced his opponent.

"So when I make you into a pizza this time I guess you want to be naked style huh?"

Baltar ran like a bull toward the clown in the distance - moving with impossible speed and fluidity for a man of his size.

Drapion stood there waiting and laughing, as Baltar closed to almost within striking distance the clown threw a dagger directly at his face. The blade missed by a few centimeters and wound up firmly lodged in Baltar's throat; he collapsed on the ground choking on his own blood. The crowd gasped audibly as they watched the dying man on the ground fighting for his life. In a few minutes it was all over.
