Xenoblade 2 - Gamma Emerald Notes PT

[Gamma Emerald]

ta da

[Gamma Emerald]

Sweeet.

I feel like having this early will serve me well for not making an ass of myself wrt mechanical talk.

[Gamma Emerald]

Probably gonna try to select people I suspect of being nefarious with my role, not to sort them, but to snatch any results they may wish to hide

[Gamma Emerald]

if that crumb is legit cakez and cabd might be rex and pyra?

[Gamma Emerald]

I know cabd just crumbed something with “drink your ovaltine” but idr what

[Gamma Emerald]

Note to self: crumb using the phrase “fighting your own war” at some point

[Gamma Emerald]

If we don’t lim Cakez I’ll probably target him for a pairing
He’s a strongly suspected slot that I don’t mind conversing with rn

[Gamma Emerald]

TFW BM’s wagon had more traction than the one on me lolollolll

[Gamma Emerald]

Uh oh. I think I’m finally breaking my “lack of will to read the thread” tell, and it looks like it might even be in a way that doesn’t ping
Because I’m starting to do something that is a symptom of that mindset, resorting to ISO dives to gather archived data rather than simple rereading, in a rather natural way

[Gamma Emerald]

Lollll dunny assumed I was a blade like a FOOL
Not really. But it’s funny he assumed.

[Gamma Emerald]

Chalk another game up for the “games where Gamma was such hard limbait he circled into obvtown” tally

[Gamma Emerald]

You know, this actually really helps with my urge to Siskel-and-Ebert it up in the main thread
I’m probably gonna request notes PTs in all my games from now on given that

[Gamma Emerald]

This thread is kinda a launchpad for verbal missile strikes rn

[Gamma Emerald]

What if I spammed a bunch of pages just by ranting to myself lol

[Gamma Emerald]

flavor might be scum >_<

I actually hate leading wagons and playing leader but fuck it I think the thread direction sucks humble me

So, this is a large theme game. It has a lot of strong personalities, with huge posting numbers and strong opinions.

If you're gonna take control of this nonsense and direct it with your townie will, you're going to need to understand the mechanics behind it.

The single most important thing you can do here, if you want a target run up, is to appeal to a base. Just... find people, like me, who enjoy the blood of their enemies and want to see people pressured. Entice them. Give them literally anything. It doesn't have to be true. it doesn't have to make sense. It just needs to attract attention.

In the case of flavour, these long posts with drawn out ideas where you often trade barbs WITH THE PERSON you want dead. Are doing nothing. Take some of their shittier comments. Stuff that sketches you.

And throw it at people like.... Muffin. Cabd. Syr. And ask them for support.

Sometimes, they might find something TRUTHFULLY concerning. And join you!

Other times they may find nothing. And still join you because it's USEFUL.

Maybe avoid cabd this game they have their own vanity wagon, but that's kind of the point.

You see how Cabd got everyone on cakez? You need to more of that.

Once you have a solid base, add to the numbers by attacking points not AT THE PERSON YOU WANT DEAD but AT PEOPLE WHO MIGHT VOTE THEM.

You don't wanna go points for points, you wanna recruit.

Once you get a solid wagon and are in top 2, then you can start to actually decide "is this person scum or am I on the wrong track". Self awareness and assessment here is important, because you can use this either way to suddenly kill a wagon and determine who if any voters are bad for being here.

But if you determine it to be continuously scummy, you just keep hammering the nail. Keep saying the stuff and boxing them out of ability to argue.

Until they're almost dead, then push them to claim. It signifies "they will die" and a lot of people respond to that with "I'll hammer, sure"

And if a counter wagon forms or people are concerned with your wagon

GOOD. More info. More people voting on a binary with a flip you can analyze.

Blood for the blood god is not just a motto to live by, it's also a very useful way to find info.

So just... attack. Don't play defense. don't stand back. Don't let others spam the thread and have your posts be lost.

Be present in the thread a lot. Have your posts loud and open. And just drive. Get in the drivers seat and drive.

There is LTIERALLY no better way. And no better teacher than the one who taught me, who is Fate.

Questionable person. Incredible at thread control.

Take a lesson. Confidence, arrogance, it's the same thing. Just be CERTAIN and keep. fucking. driving.

I want to break this down, I want to crack it and suck the nectar of knowledge from its core
So I’m putting this here for analysis whenever I feel ready.

Pretty sure hyperposters were around before 2016.

That is fucking unfortunate to think about, I swear once twitter got popular so did (what is happening right now)

Pretty sure Twitter was around well before them

[Gamma Emerald]

Posting this rn

I’d like to pair with Noraa

[borkjerfkin]

this is not a valid place to put actions - please PM me in the future.

[Gamma Emerald]

I need to figure out how to effectively communicate my intent without communicating my powers. The best move is selecting someone she’s want to investigate. Problem is feeling that out. I’ll probably operate by firing off a questionnaire, sort of a single target RQS.

[Gamma Emerald]

We’re in.

[Gamma Emerald]

ManWithNoName, Bell, Dunnstral, Gamma Emerald, midwaybear, Lady Lambdadelta, Guillotina, Fermis Flames, MariaR, Cabd, Cobra Kai, Flavor Leaf

Pasting this here. Inclined to target LLD out of this list. Not like it matters too much lol

[Gamma Emerald]

MWNN: claimed driver
Bell: no actual softs but has 10 hits on ctrl-f "driver" versus none on ctrl-f "blade"
GE: I'm a driver lol, "I know him because he is me"
mwb: claimed blade
LLD: best guess is she faintly crumbed driver in her post about pushing wagons?
Guillo: wait this is obv Zeke from roleplay posting. THIS IS WHY MY SITE BANS RP'ING AS YOUR FLAVOR LMAO
Fermis: no clues at all. balanced mentions of both.
Claire: nothing RIP
Cabd: tbh I think based on his role functionality he's probably the Aegis? Since the whole connected-life-force plot point and all.
Cobra: crumbed driver targets but not blade targets?
Flavor: seems to have softed investigative which is interesting, gonna probably target him N2. No good clues to pairing role.

other people:
Dunn misread the HELL out of my soft so if he gets it right suddenly after tonight that's a BIG Noraa/Dunn team tell. No tells to his own role. Got bent out of shape about cabd's claim a bit.
ketchup softed blade pretty damn hard lol

[Gamma Emerald]

Unwnd kinda seems towny on ISO reading
Holy fuck I’m just gonna end up reading ISOs all game aren’t I. Well I had to burn the “I only don’t legitimately try to catch up as scum” tell SOMEHOW and this is the most the benign way I can tell. Now to see if cabd or anyone else calls my ass out because I was thinking they would have when I STARTED doing this shit

[Gamma Emerald]

L4pe town
Beeboy scum
