Micro 989 Mafia PT: Dark Waltz II

[Akarin]

One pair down.

Getting to the point where maybe bussing is worth it after all.

[Akarin]

I'm a bit scared of Mikan, but I think that might be my best option.

[Uncrowned]

yeah I dont think us pairing would be good tbh

[Uncrowned]

if you pair with mikan you will 100% be eliminated

it might allow me to deepwolf though

[Akarin]

Not at this point, mind if I push you moderately hard?

I think it's better if we distance from my end because you have like 0 chance being left out of the dance.

[Akarin]

Like I think ideally we both pair with different people but shake that "they could be partners" vibe Mikan has (which I could maybe do via PT).

Then when one of us (probably me) dies, we try to make sure you get to endgame.

Honestly not liking our chances that much but paranoia could be enough later, if town gets paranoid enough it's very easy for individual players to gamethrow here.

[Uncrowned]

yeah it's looking a bit rough

definitely push me i think

[Akarin]

Honestly thinking I may request replace-out.

I'm going to try to get paired first because it's shitty to leave a replacement high and dry like that, and if I'm getting left out of the dance it didn't matter anyway, so I'll give it my best.

But I'm really not enjoying this, and HQ in particular is really not helping the initial stuff.

I don't get how people do the whole "I'm trying to help you" thing while just PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURING people. Like I feel a bit personally attacked by HQ here.

[Akarin]

Hey, I'm really sorry.

I've requested replace out.

I can't deal with this emotionally and I think HQ might be Mastina or someone? Doesn't read that much like Mastina but she seems to have some personal beef with me and this game is just misery.

[Akarin]

For future record, this wasn't an act. I wasn't trying to start something. This week was just tough and I've been feeling down since the fight at the end of schadd_'s MBoS game and then Kanna just kicked me right in the insecurities and now HQ's thing seems weirdly personal. And then everyone getting on me for self-pity and all that. Like sorry I'm so fucking miserable to talk to.

[Akarin]

Sorry, should probably stop posting here too, but needed to vent this somewhere and even trying to say something vague in the speakeasy sadness thread seems like it's too close to talking about ongoing games because people might read it and let it influence things.

Uncrowned, I'm really sorry I couldn't do better and that I've left you kind of abandoned here. Hopefully Pooky sees this before too many other people pair up so that at least pauses things while he searches for a replacement. I'm not allowed to post in the thread after sending the replace out PM I think, so kind of have to leave it.

Good luck.

[Uncrowned]

Don't worry about the game at all, seriously. It's fine. How your feeling is 10x more important than the games and if you're not enjoying yourself and it's negatively impacting you then replacing out is 100% the right choice

I'm just sorry you're feeling down about it and hope you're in a better place now that you dont gotta deal with it <3

for what its worth i enjoyed your presence and you were a good partner! hope to see you around site more in future games

[shellyc]

FUCK YES I ROLLED SCUM

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

we will miss you Akarin

please feel better <3

[shellyc]

we will miss you Akarin

please feel better <3

[shellyc]

positioning?

should I hard bus?

[Uncrowned]

Hi!

I think a bus might be on the cards

we aren't looking amazing but we could sneak by if one of us is able to bus the other convincingly

if we could somehow swivel onto a TR on each other without looking god awful we could get an easier path to a win that way but im thinking that'll be difficult to pull off convincingly

[Uncrowned]

its rough because I have ranny and kanna TRing me atm quite hard but in a final four with them (assuming you're removed) I think they'll still end up trusting each other over me and it'll be rough because I'll have to really play with an agenda and scum wincon

if we keep mikan in and her and ranny keep going off on each other we might be able to spin it as a T v S and get ranny dislodged that way

[shellyc]

i intentionally made myself bussable

[Uncrowned]

yeaahhh sorry this is a bad situation. I dont think there's a whole heap I could've done to get you out of it without giving myself away completely

[shellyc]

it was like 70% intentional

i would never slip as scum like that in a non-dance game

[shellyc]

unc i will fake shitpush you i think

[shellyc]

I didnt actually leave lol

[shellyc]

in times like these the only thing you can try is AtE

[Uncrowned]

i think we can pull off a pretty good conflict here

if the event where you somehow get into the dance we could continue it and really go hard for the bus

i'm just trying to think ahead though because this is gonna be real rough if this gets to a harley/me and ranny/kanna end game

i'm gonna have to pivot on ranny somehow because i don't think a kanna push will work at all
