Newbie 2040 - The Phoenician Rennaissance

I think we're still favourites to win this, but AD being replaced was a really big blow.

Literally just needed to follow through with the consensus solve from the previous day, but Skitter....ugh, so frustrating.

Not happy at all with how that day went, but has been an enjoyable game.

ending the day early was 90% strategic decision and 10% rage

I don't believe you would do this to me, Balfruss.

I didn't kill you! I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Battle Mage · Post Post #29 (ISO) » Mon Nov 30, 2020 4:49 am

we toyed with the idea of not killing you, but too risky if we missed the shot. who did you protect?

ManWithNoName · Post Post #30 (ISO) » Mon Nov 30, 2020 5:39 am

I picked AD at random.

hmm would definitely have been better in hindsight to kill Syryana then

Syryana, to answer your question below:

Why did you 1v1 me here? Was it a gambit to win the game now and you figured you had enough towncred to pull it off? Because it seems to me you would have been better served to have your partner 1v1 me and let you move on to LyLo, where you have both the cred and charisma to talk whoever's left into voting your way.

We decided we had a good chance of a clean sweep, so we went for it - knowing that if it didn't work, we probably still had a good chance in a 3p ExLo. I don't think in retrospect it was the wrong move necessarily, although we could have been more passive and just waited for the opportunity to inevitably present itself. Just unlucky that Skitter turned on me for no reason and AD randomly left

In a weird way, maybe it was better this way, as I might have ended up still alive but no partner, in a 3p ExLo with Skitter

I mean that 1v1 was a journey, ngl. I had a great time though and thought you played well!

I was legitimately shocked you shot me. With both myself and skitter leaning towards AD slot at the end of D2/start of D3 would it not have made more sense to 1v1 AD? Or even have your partner do the 1v1 with me instead of you?

I'm glad I'm not in ExLO though. Picking between Jumble and donki would've been a nightmare. Plus donki was already full steam ahead on the "Syr/BM" train too.

I did basically what I would do as town in that spot - always a good default. You shot your shot early, and I decided to lean into you rather than lean away. You defo played well though, I still can't quite believe how it went down, which is a compliment!

you were a smooth operator out there.

It's a newbie game too - I like the fact that the newbie scum-slot made it to the end.

I feel like it's gonna be a painfully slow final day though haha

Syryana · Post Post #39 (ISO) » Mon Nov 30, 2020 1:10 pm

Yeah. Appreciate the compliment, though I wish Xeno had ended sooner so I could've talked about it!

ELLO is always slow though, at least when people give due consideration.

It'd be nice if either of the not-skitters would post more than once every couple days though

why not let the ad slot hammer you there so they have some sort of argument for f3? or at least do some theatre of you trying to convince them of syryana

Skitter didnt give me due consideration yesterday *sulk sulk*

You didn't let her!

oh if it’s skitter or donki wp

I think I know why I was killed now. Sort of. If I'm correct my claimed stances were more favorable to you than skitter's, but eh.

Battle Mage · Post Post #46 (ISO) » Wed Dec 02, 2020 6:59 am

I think we will win this if my teammate doesn't post for the remainder of the day. Skitter is getting hung up on an idea again

Riveting 3p lylos are fun to watch, but hell to play.
