Micro 834 : Vanilla 8-Ball : Game Over

[Gamma Emerald]

Who were you in org 13 tho

[Jingle]

Zexen, I think? I was the scientist guy. Me and RC got into a pretty nasty fight that I'm not proud of because I reacted really poorly to a dig that I took as a RL dig shortly after he alt hunted me. I was legitimately furious for most of that game.

[Gamma Emerald]

Oof
I can see why you’d react that way

[Jingle]

It came at a really bad time. I don't think RC knew the pile of bees he was poking, but tl;dr I'd lost a couple close family members IRL and the whole thing set off a pretty nasty reaction from me.

[Jingle]

Not that I'm blaming RC. I was over the line too there and I shouldn't have let what he said get to me the way I did. I also firmly believe that what he said was unintentional, because he seems like he's not the kind of guy to intentionally pour salt in a wound like that.

Still want that sweet sweet FA answer in my life.

Hi

I'm back home and am behind pc rn. I'm not usually a lurker like this. It's just real life stuff and that I hate December and how miserable it makes my life. I promised the host to play his game and It means a lot to me and I will.

I finally have my own pc access and I'm home all day tomorrow so I will have time to finally catch up and start playing this game.

What is the question?

[Irrelephant11]

Who would you have 8-balled last night?

story of my life

[Saudade]

can I lie and say I would've 8 balled pintruccio to be metacleared

[Saudade]

I would have 8balled pintruccio boys.

[Jingle]

That’s brilliant. The scumteam gets a kill if the right ball is lynched, and pint WAS LYNCHED! Clearly saudade can’t be scum because he would’ve broken the setup.

with 7 alive, it takes 4 to lynch.

day two will end in (expired on 2018-12-15 17:00:00), or earlier automatically if a majority lynch is achieved.

Thank you for acknowledging my next level thinking

[Jingle]

Who would you have 8-balled last night?

And why. Don't forget the why.

Running out of time in the day again, so I'm done waiting.

Today is the most important day for scum to hit their 8ball target. Hitting today puts them in LYLO, and it's easier for them to hit specific lynches on the LYLO track days than any other days for exactly the same reasons that MYLO usually supports scum. Basically the situation is inverted, scum are the ones that want an anywhere lynch. I don't think I need to explain why LYLO is bad for us.

We want to hit scum badly, but more importantly we want to not hit the eightball, therefore getting everyone's thoughts on who would be 8balled helps to steer the lynch away from that. For that reason, I don't think CJ should be on the table at all today. If he's town, he was the obvious mislynch choice last night and thus the obvious choice to 8ball.

On the other hand, the questions served another purpose. Town had no reason to lie, but without me explaining this, scum had no idea where I was going with the line of questioning, meaning they were far more likely to either tell the truth requiring in depth thinking or to hipfire a name they HADN'T 8 balled, in the hopes that they would be 'cleared' by the eightball being lynched. In the former case, the reasoning demonstrated wouldn't be as surface level. In the latter case the reasoning wouldn't be as reasonable.

Of all the answers, GE's choice of me fits this the best. Yesterday I was a fair townread by most people (or at least appeared to be) except Saudade, and his push on me was both lackluster and going nowhere quickly. Gamma saying he would 8ball me frankly doesn't fit quick town thought responses, meaning it's likely he'd been considering who to 8-ball overnight. It's possible that this is because he as town spent the night phase wondering who scum might try to mislynch, but I think it more likely that he was looking for someone to mislynch over night and his reasoning is likely more complicated than simply people seemed interested. If it was merely that people seemed interested, he'd probably have answered CJ, the actual counterwagon to the town lynch.

Now why does this make him scum? Because he demonstrated a clear lack of understanding/desire to understand the town motivation for the questioning. 845 was a demand for results for my questioning, which if he was town thinking on the same level as me (being on the same level as me, again, is evidenced by his answer) would be obvious.


Additionally, CJ and Saudade's answers are mildly town indicative.

CJ sounds like he's resigned to being a mislynch, Saudade is tunneled on me. Both are consistent and both have the surface level thinking of town answering an unexpected question honestly.

[Jingle]

scum aren't the ones who want an anywhere lynch

FTFM

[Irrelephant11]

That’s quite a theory
I think you might be town but I think your reasoning has flaws
For example, just because CJ is likely to be the 8-ball here doesn’t mean he’s likely to be town

[Irrelephant11]

Or to reword that, the fact that many people suggested CJ would be 8-ball’d here means that he’s more likely to get lynched today, not that he’s more likely to be town (we might just *be on the right track* in thinking he should be lynched)

[Jingle]

That's a point, but IF CJ is scum he still has a partner to find. And hunting the partner is less likely to hit the 8ball and put us in LYLO.

[Irrelephant11]

Can you scumcase Gamma for me? Including his D1 stuff (if there’s stuff there you think is scummy) without including the results of your recent theory

[Jingle]

Not really. Or rather, I could, but I wouldn't believe anything I was saying.

The theory is the only scummy thing I really see from him, but I also don't see anything town to counteract it.
