Starry Night [Game Over]

[SXTLHGaiden]

Can't I just accept a person, and force everyone else to time out during pre-dance?

So, this game started during my work offsite and i'm catching up.
that said, I love this plan.
I support this 100%.

[SXTLHGaiden]

crap, the next page shows there might be flaws.
trying to figure out a way around this...

[SXTLHGaiden]

hmm
Kagami picks a person.
then, using RNGsus, you pair off the rest of the people.
So gentlemen will ask out their partner.
Then, no one does anything.
So what happens is, if scum exist, they must exist on lady side and they'll be forced to accept or lose.
In response, we have people down the list IN ORDER accept so town still has majority, then the next day, the townie gentleman leaves with confscum.

thoughts?

[SXTLHGaiden]

the only downside is that this will be time dependent. people will have to play this close to the vest at the deadline cause conf scum would have to deadline accept to dance.

[SXTLHGaiden]

EV is lower than just playing it straight, even if there wasn't already a pair that I wouldn't bet the farm on being T-T.

I didn't do the math. But this sounds like the most lol-tacular way to troll FG.
Still reading, btw.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Last time i danced with Kagamin, we got shot night 1. That said, if Kagamin didn't get shot night 1, i would have suicided expecting her to be scum sooooo.

[SXTLHGaiden]

but but...
the lols

[SXTLHGaiden]

Also, i just got to the part where me not posting is scummy.
I am greatly entertained.

[SXTLHGaiden]

While I'm catching up, here is some music. (I swear i won't post a bunch of music, don't kill me)

[SXTLHGaiden]

A compulsive need to read all the posts first.
And eurobeat.
But i also need to find the perfect song to ask her out.

pedit: i do not, do you have any recommendations?

[SXTLHGaiden]

kagami isn't this like ur third time being the IC in these?
I swear I remember u being IC before.

I've never been IC before. Last time I did this with gaiden, our pair was killed in intermission because the IC was paired with scum and we weren't going to suicide on each other.

I'm not saying you shouldn't read the post about me being paranoid of you if we lived, but...

[SXTLHGaiden]

thank you all for the musics. It shall all be listened to.
in the meantime, be aware this exists

[SXTLHGaiden]

Dunn is very likely to pair with Maria

Nah, we're not doing that anymore since it stopped being special

^
Me and Dunn being in a neighborhood is boring since we shouldn’t need a PT to be able to read each other it’s pretty sub-optimal.

this gives me the "bad feelings of paranoia"

[SXTLHGaiden]

Pedit: The avatar is supposed to be more monotone/on the lazy side. I'm using this one for reasons

in

STARK

contrast to your normal play?

[SXTLHGaiden]

why would anyone pair with a scumread

For the satisfaction of killing them yourself.

[SXTLHGaiden]

I'm genuinely considering asking Kagami despite being the IC because based on their posts I feel that is more of a match game-wise

You might have a fight on your hands...
also, what do you mean "despite being the IC"?

[SXTLHGaiden]

he hasnt even posted yet how is he decently towny yo

Sheer force of will. And being at a company offsite event.
while you all were chatting, i was shooting a bow and arrow.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Ok. I am caught up. It is time

Kagamin, shall we dance?

[SXTLHGaiden]

These people can leave the game pre-dance and I think we would all be better off for it:
1. OkaPoka
4. Firebringer
5. SXTLHGaiden
2. Alisae
5. Gamma Emerald
7. Bitmap
9. Shiro

But now I have 9 targets on my back probably.

I can't say I disagree with this list.

[SXTLHGaiden]

I mean, i didn't really read all of it, but i saw my name, shiro and bitmap so it can't really be a bad list, right?

[SXTLHGaiden]

Self-serving post

MariaR - Maybe
Alisae - ?
Kagami - Taken
popsofctown - Rejected lmao
Gamma Emerald - Maybe
Creature - No
Bitmap - No
Cephrir - Taken
Shiro - Likely Taken

I need a stronger read on maria/Gamma

cataloging who you might dance with?

[SXTLHGaiden]

What was the condition, I might have missed it since I skimmed some stuff I am at work.

I believe he wanted you to insta-suicide once the dance started.

[SXTLHGaiden]

but Shiro, aren't you a Queen?

[SXTLHGaiden]

Ok. I am caught up. It is time

Kagamin, shall we dance?

~I accept~

[SXTLHGaiden]

Gentlemen
Gaiden(Think he either dies as scum here with the IC or is just town. Basically resolves himself)

you're just bitter i have the best dance partner
also, what do you mean "dies as scum here with the IC"?

[SXTLHGaiden]

I mean, i'd expect you to say something like "(Think he either dies as

town

here with the IC or is just

scum

. Basically resolves himself)

[SXTLHGaiden]

I assume scum will sac the IC even if their mate is paired w/ them because the idea of a clear is far too dangerous

perhaps i'm dumb, but this seems like a poor strategy.

[SXTLHGaiden]

my problem with the game atm is that the slots I 100% want to flip include 8 gentlemen and 9 ladies

Do you somehow not know your own alignment?
or Kagamin's?

[SXTLHGaiden]

the more people that pair up the more desperate shiro will become, and have to accept my conditions!!!!!

:devil:

kill this.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Can Gold ask pops so we can have a conf town pairing? Ty

Why do you want me to die =(

You really can't dance with anybody else?

I dislike both bitmap/creature and Ali Idk has shown hesitance to the idea

if you dislike them, then you can always just insta-suicide them after the dance starts.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Kill gaiden
Kill shiro
Kill gamma
Kill deas
Kill oka

Once you get rid of those slots thats when the real game of mafia begins

I feel loved.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Ank what do you mean?

Looking over the pairing I'm super cranky about Kagami pairing with Gaiden because Gaiden's iso is conspicuously devoid of content but I don't want to lynch the IC, especially before intermission. It seems like pro-scum pairing on par with DV's but unlike Cephrir I can't express my anger in lynch form

standard gaiden iso is basically all fluff.

This should be closely examined. Gaiden was a really bad pick for Kagami considering how Gaiden's posts have been less than stellar.

Kagami x Gaiden is a match made in mafia heaven
I support this ship.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Think Ali exits the game as town. If that's the case here's my hierarchy of pairings

unwnd/popsofctown
Ankimus/MariaR

kagami/Gaiden

Cephrir/DeasVeil

Shiro/Firebringer

Bitmap/Dunnstral
Golden Rooster/Creature

Gamma/Oka

Despite the placements, the bold are pairs I think have a strong indication of holding scum. I've yet to see a TvT pairing that I can be strongly confident on yet

I'm just quoting this for myself for the future.

[SXTLHGaiden]

the great thing is scum!Shiro dances with scum!Firebringer so there's a CHANCE to hit two right there

much optimism here.

[SXTLHGaiden]

i skimmed through sixty pages; made a reads list based on gut.

specific parts as in ISO's? or no

do what feels right

[SXTLHGaiden]

i skimmed through alisae, shiro, creature iso's briefly

nothing indepth though why

so where be the readlist taht you claimed you made?

[SXTLHGaiden]

gaiden what are your reads

oh god. THIS question...
it haunts me.
Mostly cause i suck at reading people.
I do know i want unwnd ded though.

[SXTLHGaiden]

i skimmed through alisae, shiro, creature iso's briefly

nothing indepth though why

so where be the readlist taht you claimed you made?

in my pt with creature

u curious?

pre-dance phase reads are in my iso

I am the most curious.

[SXTLHGaiden]

@Fire: Scumreads are not alignment indicative. Town also has to form scum reads, unless we don't?

technically, no one has to make any reads.
take me. I dont' read people.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Like 98% of the posts in the last few pages were not useful to anything

We found our first geriatric diapers club member.

There has been substantial confusion about pairings and offers in the pre-dance, and there will continue to be confusion in the VCs going forward if the thread grows at the current rate.

There is a very real pro-scum effect to excessive posting.

This is why i lurk and barely post. I'm clearly doing this to be the most pro-town i can be.

[SXTLHGaiden]

They are!

[SXTLHGaiden]

I have decided this dance is lacking in music. so have this

[SXTLHGaiden]

what did I miss

Well, we had a nice waltz and apparently a foxtrot.
We've been kinda hanging around the punchbowl since then though.

[SXTLHGaiden]

[youtube]HVmnDZIHW3g[/youtube ]

in response, my favorite russian folk song

[SXTLHGaiden]

I think I have reasonable odds of eventually seeing through her game plan if she's scum yes

This is why top tier strat is to dance with the IC. No need to check if she's scum. We just dance. Even now, we are having dance party in the PT.

This could be at least adjacent to reality if you didn't flipping marry the IC.

Kagamin x Gaiden 4 life

[SXTLHGaiden]

to be fair, FB's "condition" was rather odd.

[SXTLHGaiden]

blue is leaning town, orange is leanin scum?

[SXTLHGaiden]

would you mind walking me through the evolution of your shiro read?

[SXTLHGaiden]

@bitmap

I am afraid I have to reject your proposal as i find it extremely suspicious

Ok I made up my mind Fire, I am ready to accept your proposal. Don't make me regret it.

I'm not sure if this is inherently scummy or just inherently cringy.

if you ever want to see cringy, you should read a game where i'm hyrda-ing with FG as Misaka Network.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Well, the first dance lasts until 12 people remain...

[SXTLHGaiden]

unless there's a deadline i'm missing.

[SXTLHGaiden]

i'm like 80% sure this is a scum claim

[SXTLHGaiden]

no mine make perfect sense

@gaiden do you have any reads right now

before anyone says anything about me not answering this. i forgot this question existed until right now
now onto Gaiden reads:

[SXTLHGaiden]

so, how would you rate FB vs GE in terms of town usefulness?

[SXTLHGaiden]

low to nothing

[SXTLHGaiden]

i mean, i'm the most useful
like the best townie ever

[SXTLHGaiden]

perhaps.

[SXTLHGaiden]

ehh maybe i should just not try to read u. might be wasted effort considering u and kagami linked.

if you try to read me too hard, you'll end up going mad.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Kagami
Ank
Oka
MariaR
Bitmap
Cephrir
Creature
pops
Fire
Shiro
Gaiden
unwnd
DV
GRob
Dunn

These are my reads rn, the middle of the list (Cephrir to unwnd) isn't super confident but that's how I feel about them rn.
VOTE: Dunnstral

i don't know why, but i find it really comforting to see myself this close to the bottom.
unrelated, did you know if you highlight something then click the "quote" button, you only quote the highlighted portion? I somehow only learned this just now.

[SXTLHGaiden]

@DeasRir

I accept this as the official ship name.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Dunn you're quoting post 500 stop acting like reads can't change/ delvelop over 2000 posts you're better then that.

granted, only like 200 of those 2k posts have content.

[SXTLHGaiden]

i just calls it like i sees it

[SXTLHGaiden]

As I said, he unvoted as I expected. Now can people stop faking scumreads on me so I can focus on my plan and notes? It really makes this less annoying for me thank you.
pedit: I think it's NAI. As town it's neautral to have said Paranoia, as scum if they didn't show any it would've been super sus.

can i keep my fake scumread on you?

[SXTLHGaiden]

VOTE: Oka/Gamma

L-1

in the year i've been absent, i've forgotten how tempting hammer votes are.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Make it so, ensign.

Your wish is my command!
VOTE: Oka/Gamma

[SXTLHGaiden]

[SXTLHGaiden]

gamma you've played scum with me before this isn't how i operate

look at NY213 again

I don't remember much about that rn and when was meta ever part of this?

meta is a part of it when you can use it to mislead town!

[SXTLHGaiden]

zzz

but its so pointless like what are you going to do lynch the conftown pair

it can help the game for people to be aware that L-1 is L-Gaiden

I showed great restraint today not just insta-voting.

[SXTLHGaiden]

zzz

but its so pointless like what are you going to do lynch the conftown pair

it can help the game for people to be aware that L-1 is L-Gaiden

Also, this is gonna be in my sig when this game is over.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Okay the Ace Attorney gif is :okayhand:

So you were scum?

No but Ace Attorney is fun

I was trying to look for one of Phoenix Wright's supers from UMVC3, but i got lazy.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Kagami has one antitown post all game

There's a link to it in the OP

Fun fact, btw, is that Gaiden is 374% town (possible only via density manipulation), and was the best pick for me by far.

we do well together

[SXTLHGaiden]

you aren't dying to intermission lmao

me and kagamin are probably dying.

[SXTLHGaiden]

you aren't dying to intermission lmao

me and kagamin are probably dying.

this is the best case scenario of the three imo

and what, lose the best Town OTP?

[SXTLHGaiden]

Kagami + Gaiden is an obvious pairing

OTP

[SXTLHGaiden]

I play mafia because it's a very easy mental stimulant

I play cause people deserve to be trolled!

[SXTLHGaiden]

VOTE: Deasvail/Cephrir

So I'll move my vote there and won't be surprised if I end up dead soon

If you hammer before Kagami can check in she'll be *steamed* emoji in the dead thread

UNVOTE: Bitmap

I'll give you some room

changing your votes while i sleep.
cowards

[SXTLHGaiden]

baa baa!

[SXTLHGaiden]

yes yes, pile on that wagon.
the Hammer of Justice grows impatient.

[SXTLHGaiden]

I have arrived.

[SXTLHGaiden]

VOTE: DV-Cephrir

pedit: why do we think alike kagamin?

[SXTLHGaiden]

I kind of wanna change my avatar again lol.

but... woomy

[SXTLHGaiden]

I think I play too much woomy lately.

I play a veemo

[SXTLHGaiden]

I think I play too much woomy lately.

I play a veemo

nyges

Remember, if you ever team up with a dumbass named Gaiden, it's probably me.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Great

We're lacking actually towny players

psh, you don't know what you're talking about

[SXTLHGaiden]

I thought that avatar is from the Nintendo paintball game and I thought all the characters do the same thing in it. The inklings. so you just play the one that looks best every time right?

Yes, Splatoon 2. You paint the floor and sometimes kill other inklings.

I think I play too much woomy lately.

I play a veemo

Do you play competitively? I do.

i'm not good enough to play competitively.

[SXTLHGaiden]

my clam blitz play is garbage.

[SXTLHGaiden]

like, i'm good enough to stay in X rank in some modes, but epic fail in a couple. and my rank isn't particularly high.

[SXTLHGaiden]

i couldn't get into undertale

[SXTLHGaiden]

PAD?

[SXTLHGaiden]

i assume so.

[SXTLHGaiden]

gaiden is... will post images and gifs of hammers and mallet shaped objects

i do what is required

[SXTLHGaiden]

now i get to update my signature

[SXTLHGaiden]

GG i had fun

[SXTLHGaiden]

i think that was cause in at least one of those games, scum was paired with the IC

[SXTLHGaiden]

tsun~
