Open 785: Secrets of the Anuket Topaz [Game over!]

[Menalque]

That’s why things got so out of hand on D1

Like both my partners were super inactive in the early phase and S_S isn’t exactly high impact normally, plus he didn’t want to tie us together too strongly for mechanical reasons

And we figured saving mohab/mae would be good but that if the wagon was under suspicion I’d have a better chance of fighting it off than him, so I should stay on and he should bus

[Ydrasse]

damn.

well, gg everyone! was fun despite the roller coaster of replacements and extensions and second-doubting!

[Something_Smart]

Dammit. Sorry Menalque I tried.

[Menalque]

Sorry for the misguillo @montosh, I wanted to preserve A50 because I was worried that if he flipped then I was like the obv D3 flip and keeping him alive slightly reduced the odds of that happening. I thought about pushing RCE there instead, as I thought both of you were pretty locked onto me but I thought he had more people townreading him and less like ~*obvscummy*~ content in his ISO/less contradictions that I could point to

[Menalque]

Dammit. Sorry Menalque I tried.

Ehh, it’s cool, I get why you were a bit burned out after jk9++ and I do still begrudgingly agree that we shouldn’t have aligned too strongly in what we were pushing

[Menalque]

Eevee i might nom for moment of brilliance tbh, they played super well in getting mohab through and then not losing focus on me while I was trying so hard to pocket them

[Umlaut]

The lesson here is that I should always lurk and fail to contribute and then pop in to hammer someone who looks pretty town to me

Well played, Menalque! You almost got away with it.

[Menalque]

Thanks umlaut, I really thought that I had you and snow sufficiently pocketed

Titus I didn’t but hey, I wasn’t gonna argue with her VCA when it was clearing for me

Fredrick i had no idea what he was doing with the hops and general lack of explanation, just seemed like he was often happy to sheep whatever the strongest push at the time was so I thought if I pushed ydrasse hard as deadline approached he’d probably change too

Eevee was the only one who I felt I really didn’t have a solid handle on getting to TR me from the confirmeds

[Menalque]

I think even with losing this may be one of my best scumgames yet, like I basically never manage to maintain effort when I know I’m already in a losing position, definitely not across multiple days. I kind of had lost motivation when a load of people started voting me as the day kicked off and figured I’d try to ape A50 and go for the “I just cba to play” thing

[Umlaut]

It was Eevee's comment that your vote onto Titus was scummy that got me to flip there, actually. At the core of my townread on you was that scum would have no sufficient reason to jump off the Snow wagon like you did, when you did, and once I saw that scum

might

have a sufficient reason there was really nothing holding that read together and I was left with just

he hard-pushed a couple of wagons on town and is really the most obvious suspect

and no reason not to flip you. So agreed Eevee is MVP here.

[Menalque]

I felt like snow wasn’t getting enough traction to actually prevent the flip and I thought that with titus’ vote being so different form her stated reads there was a chance that we could just flashwagon her under deadline pressure

Also I didn’t really know snow but titus is like an active worry to have in a game as town so I was willing to take a chance

Plus without the confirmations it was like, maybe we can then push the snow wagon through D2 as well, and then there would be no confirming 5 town slots going on

[Menalque]

Plus figured I could easily explain it away as “oH bUt wHy wOuLd i StOp vOtiNg tHe CoUnTeRwAgOn tO mY bUdDy?!?”

[Titus]

Ydrasse is still obvscum.

[Titus]

Well shucks. Game is over. I was wrong. GG.

[Titus]

Lesson my vca needs nks.

I'M SORRY MENALQUE

~Eva

[Almost50]

GDI! I knew S_S was Scum.

[Raya36]

So good chance Ydrasse is town based on the reaction to Menalque pretending to be scum, right? And maybe S_S for going along with the act?

[Raya36]

Wait. S_S is scum lol

[Raya36]

Give me some time. I'm gonna look into S_S and Mae/Mohab interactions and hopefully we can figure this out. We gotta keep in mind that S_S was likely the better choice interaction-wise compared to their living partner though

[Ydrasse]

I REALLY THOUGHT THIS GAME WAS OVER ............
