Product Placement Mafia (Game over!)

[CheekyTeeky]

@Tbone I'm a reaction tester/intent reader. I find it hard to get good reads when I'm disconnected. Also each time I let the thread breathe it slows down to an unproductive level. I don't see the harm in trying to generate real game content. I also don't get why you find the need to take a teaching stance with me. As you can tell I'm far from insecure and I feel I'm a pretty effective town player, it just feels like you're trying to shut me up and discredit me each time we interact and I don't see the town intent in going about it the way you are. If you want me to stfu then just tell me to stfu or generate discussion elsewhere.

[T-Bone]

I've literally accused you of none of those things.

[northsidegal]

Meh, Brian Skies can wait.

VOTE: Gamma Emerald

Anyone feel like following me here?

[northsidegal]

@T-Bone – why are you like only talking about or to Cheeky?

[CheekyTeeky]

I've literally accused you of none of those things.

...Am I the only one seeing these things? Noone else can see it?

[CheekyTeeky]

Meh, Brian Skies can wait.

VOTE: Gamma Emerald

Anyone feel like following me here?

Nah I think gamma is town. What are you seeing?

[T-Bone]

I've literally accused you of none of those things.

...Am I the only one seeing these things? Noone else can see it?

I'm explaining my thought processes and why I do things...but you can do what you want. I assume you have some level of autonomy.

@T-Bone – why are you like only talking about or to Cheeky?

Yeah but I'm voting for you <3

What would you like to talk about?

[northsidegal]

Meh, Brian Skies can wait.

VOTE: Gamma Emerald

Anyone feel like following me here?

Nah I think gamma is town. What are you seeing?

i mean, i'm not seeing him as town at all – i don't think there's anything there to townread. for one, he's kind of avoided this game in favor of others (ellitell). for two, most of his contributions seem like total

non-

contributions. i would quote examples, but i think you can just look at like the last 10 posts of his ISO. if you want me to go more in-depth i will.

what are you

townreading

there?

[northsidegal]

@T-Bone – why are you like only talking about or to Cheeky?

Yeah but I'm voting for you <3

What would you like to talk about?

well, i didn't ask just because i wanted to talk about something, i asked to know why you didn't seem to be talking about anything or anyone else. but while we're here and while you mention it, let's talk about that vote. why are you voting me / still voting me?

[T-Bone]

So...you didn't want to talk to me...while criticizing me for only talking to Cheeky. Why is the burden on me to open a dialogue with people? Be the change you want to see.

As for WHY I am talking to her...it is because I am trying to determine her alignment, and I feel out of all the players so far, she has produced the most 'game relevant' content, and is as good a player to start with as any. Do you feel anyone else has produced more than a post's worth of game relevant content? Because I don't. I feel most players are just floating along, or throwing stuff at a wall to see if anything sticks.

I voted for you because I quoted a post of hers where she said essentially she didn't like votes without an explanation...to which I then voted you without explanation. I picked you randomly (and in fact, you hadn't even checked in). As for why I haven't moved the vote...it isn't harming anyone. Unless you feel pressured by it? In which case I guess it is pulling some unintended utility.

[T-Bone]

Also, when I started engaging with Cheeky I was trying to start a bit where multiple people quote a post adding the question "what is the purpose of this post?" over and over again, but Cheeky immediately responded unfavorably and now here we are, talking about why I was only talking to her.

[northsidegal]

eh, i'm bored and gamma's iso is short, going to do a mathdino-style full iso "lolcase"

Spoiler:

this seems like it will be fun

Pine that is sufficiently foul

bruh I'm tryna see what's in ur otha tabs and I ain't seein' shit

nothing game related

btw I'm curious what happens if the market leader person whatever dies, does the ability to post votecounts transfer or is it lost

@Untrod Tripod what happens to the market-chosen power if the holder of it dies?

oh I see it now

votecount mechanics question and realization from not reading the rules, totally NAI.

wait how has T-Bone indicated anything about his role

NAI, not followed up on when told to "shush" basically (which i feel like town gamma would probably question this thing more? i have something specific in mind but can't talk about it)

How do we all feel about Crystal Pepsi?

never tried it

still nothing game related

I mean cola is gross to begin with, but Pepsi is the bottom of the cola barrel.

Crystal Pepsi?

Id rather eat a Necco Wafer

bruh necco wafers are actually pretty good
I used to dislike em but then I realized sweet hearts were the same thing and I liked those so
Also I think I've got some info on how to read penguin if you would like some vaxx

Mentions info on how to read penguin and asks if vax would like to hear it instead of just coming out and saying it. I don't think that's a scumtell in its own right but i don't see why gamma wouldn't just come out and say it or actually just use it to form a read on penguin and mention the tell.

Not sure I really want friends who like pepsi and necco wafers.

Lay it on my gamma.

I seem to have lost the last mention of what I was intending to refer to as my major source but I can track it down the pipeline as it came from another game still

Don't believe this was followed up on

Sprite is a Coke product. So, it doesn't matter if you're illiterate.

Your opinion is invalid.

I like Canada Dry, what now

Mr Pibb flunked out of Med school, here are all his former classmates.

you're missing Dr. Chek

nothing

maybe this could be read as gamma trying to imitate his catchup-style but just not having anything game-related to say so sticking with the beverage talk? probably not a sound conclusion but this is a lolcase so -shrug-

Let's overthrow the market and instill me as the new Votecount Overlord.

VOTE: Vecna

Good idea: kill the monarchy and instate a democracy
VOTE: Vecna

Well, you DID just bitch me out for something Gamma did, said I failed, and did the ol' hilarious "FOS" thing.

So seriously. You tell me.

yeah real talk Cheeky is my first scum read for the FoS thing, comes off as too focused on getting out reads
VOTE: CheekyTeeky

don't really like these votes

yeah i don't really feel like continuing this but you get the gist, not really seeing any sorting or effort at sorting there

[T-Bone]

You've effectively made my point, by the way. Thank you.

[Vaxkiller]

Mutante. Your town reads have legit people they are voting for, but your voting for no one? You also have your own scum reads... and voting for no one? I mean wtf?

VOTE: Mutante

I think you guys are ignoring mutante because its too obvious.

[northsidegal]

So...you didn't want to talk to me...while criticizing me for only talking to Cheeky. Why is the burden on me to open a dialogue with people? Be the change you want to see.

what? there's no "burden" on you to open a dialogue – what i'm saying is that i find it notable that you seemed to only be focusing on one person. this isn't some kind of debate – it was me noting something that might've been a scumtell.

1 As for WHY I am talking to her...it is because I am trying to determine her alignment, and I feel out of all the players so far, she has produced the most 'game relevant' content, and is as good a player to start with as any. 2 Do you feel anyone else has produced more than a post's worth of game relevant content? Because I don't. I feel most players are just floating along, or throwing stuff at a wall to see if anything sticks.

1 Well, my main question wasn't why you're talking to her – it was why you're talking to

only

her.

2 Yes, i do disagree, hence my votes. If you feel that way, why not try to pressure those people to produce game relevant content as opposed to just focusing on the one person? Strictly mathematically speaking any one given person in this game is more likely to be town than scum, so, politely, focusing all of your efforts on just sorting a single person doesn't seem like a prudent strategy to me.

I voted for you because I quoted a post of hers where she said essentially she didn't like votes without an explanation...to which I then voted you without explanation. I picked you randomly (and in fact, you hadn't even checked in). As for why I haven't moved the vote...it isn't harming anyone. Unless you feel pressured by it? In which case I guess it is pulling some unintended utility.

if it isn't harming anyone, then it can't be harming scum, can it?

is this your normal philosophy when it comes to voting? just checking.

[northsidegal]

You've effectively made my point, by the way. Thank you.

what point?

Mutante. Your town reads have legit people they are voting for, but your voting for no one? You also have your own scum reads... and voting for no one? I mean wtf?

VOTE: Mutante

I think you guys are ignoring mutante because its too obvious.

i think town loses a lot by lynching the townies who do outrageous things and ignoring the silently scummy players. i'm not sure if mutant can be classified as "townie" in that first part, but he's certainly "doing outrageous things". i prefer to focus on the second group.

[Vaxkiller]

It's not outrageous. It's nonsensical. I mean why post it? It comes off awkward an weird.

[northsidegal]

It's not outrageous. It's nonsensical. I mean why post it? It comes off awkward an weird.

do you think the answer to "why post it?" is "he's scum"?

[northsidegal]

how many people here have played with mutant before? want to check, have kind of a weird theory. let me know if you have, please.

[Vaxkiller]

Yes! But not as direct as you are making it seem. I think he wants to be seen as doing something.

[Vaxkiller]

I have played with him before.

[northsidegal]

Yes! But not as direct as you are making it seem. I think he wants to be seen as doing something.

i mean, i think if mutant were scum who wanted to be townread for doing things then he could just do that by playing a normal scumgame, which he's done before.

i don't know – i'm not going to go into a hard defense here but i think there's almost certainly something deeper going on than "mutant is scum who's deliberately acting weird", and i don't think it'd be very useful for me to vote there right now.

[Vaxkiller]

"mutant is scum who's deliberately acting weird"

That's an odd way to put it.

[northsidegal]

"mutant is scum who's deliberately acting weird"

That's an odd way to put it.

elaborate?

[Vaxkiller]

I think hes acting weird and he is scum. Not deliberately acting weird to be scum read.
