Mini 2000 | Be Someone Else: uPick! [Game Over]

Mathdino · Post Post #25 (isolation #0) » Mon Mar 26, 2018 2:59 pm

Greetings, dear players of historic Mini 2000! Backup mod Mathdino here to help NSG with regular votecounts, and to help you all in learning how to Be Someone Else! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the flavoured ride!

Flavour under no guarantee for originality.

Votecount 1.1Everyone thinks about what it would be like to be someone else now and then. This is especially true if you aren’t happy with who you are, or satisfied with your life at the moment. We're used to putting on different faces and behaving a specific way to suit the situation–such as work, a football game, a night out with friends or a family activity.^[1] To temporarily give us a glimpse into another life and get a break from our own, we watch movies or TV, play games and read. For most people, an occasional escape from who we are is enough. However, you might actually want to become someone else. Here’s a guide for how to do that.

1. Analyze why you want to be somebody else.

Ask yourself what the reasons are behind your desire to change. This way you can discover the root of your problem. Once you know where the wish to be someone else is coming from, you can solve the problem's source.

Don’t base your need to become someone else off of a few isolated events. Challenges and undesirable circumstances happen to all of us every now and then. We all make mistakes and try to learn from them regularly as well.
If there is a clear and repeating pattern to your experiences or relationships that provides clues to where you could improve, then use that information to your advantage. Explore where relationships broke down or what you have been criticized for.

2. Ask yourself what you want to change.

^[2] You have looked at what is happening around you that makes you want to be someone else; you need to consider your personal feelings as well. If certain things are bothering you, find out what they are and how you can make them better.

If you’re not happy with yourself, figure out why. Are you overweight? Have a nervous disposition? Disorganized?
If you are merely bored with the way things are and want a change, reflect on what exactly you are not satisfied with. Is it your relationship? Your job? Your house or car? The weather? Focus on the area that you want to change.

3. Focus on ways to improve.

You know what needs to change so you can be who you want to be. Now you need to brainstorm ways to fix or make the problem better.

If you need to lose weight to feel healthy and happy then concentrate on that. Start going to the gym, lower your fat and carbohydrate intake and get engaged in a social group for support.
If you suffer from anxiety, then seek help from a professional, practice meditation and take opportunities to practice being assertive.
If you are tired of people calling you boring, do something adventurous like sky diving, mountain climbing, sailing or learning to fly a plane.
If you’re unhappy with your romantic partner, do something new together, find ways to connect and appreciate each other, go to counseling or consider moving on.
If you're sick of your job, get a new one or go back to school to learn new skills so you can get the job of your dreams and earn the house and car that you want. Move away if you are unhappy with where you’re at because it rains too much or gets too cold.

4. Find out whom you want emulate.

^[3] You have a pretty good idea what you don’t want to be. Now it’s time to think about the kind of life you want and the kind of person you want to be. Reflect on the behavior, beliefs and values of those you admire to learn how to be successful in all areas of your life.

You probably admire someone—a character from a movie or book, a celebrity, sports figure, family member, or a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Do you want to be like your favorite TV character? Or like your girlfriend or boyfriend? Once you narrow down whom it is you want to be like, you can begin to develop character traits for self-improvement based off of their example.
Select good personal qualities that will make your life better, not worse. Ending up in jail or driving away the people in your life that matter will not help you feel better. Examples might include being interesting, sympathetic, or charming.

5. Make sure the traits you want to develop are sustainable.

^[4]You need to be able to keep up these good qualities long-term until they become a part of who you are. If you lie to people about what you can do or who you are, it is not likely to go well when they find out the truth–and they will, eventually.

Don’t act like a wealthy person when you only have a few dollars in your pocket and can’t afford dinner for two, let alone that vacation to Hawaii.
Don’t pretend to know about cars to get a date and happen to end up on the side of the road with a blown out tire you don’t know how to change.
Likewise, learn to play an instrument or cook before attempting to impress someone with your know-how.

Hello! Mathdino back with Part 2 of my guide on how to Be Someone Else! Get ready for some high quality tips on becoming the person you admire!

Also, if you're not clicking on the carefully researched scientifically proven references, you're missing out!

Votecount 2.1

1. Set goals.

You need to know what you want and how to get there. You want to make changes to become someone different than yourself at the moment.^[5]

To come up with a goal, first you need to figure out where exactly you are trying to get to and what the end result needs to be. For example, you want to be more self-confident like your favorite female sports player. You want to be able to be great at tennis, basketball, football or compete in the Olympics.^[6]
A goal is not just what you want but something you are willing to work toward. You need to ask yourself if you can work toward the end goal. Are you willing to work out, building muscle, practicing every day? This will tell you how badly you want something.^[7]
Don't set yourself up for failure. Even though there are many tools that can help, such as motivating books and support groups, you're the only one who can change you. There's no magic pill–it will take work and dedication.^[8]

2. Start with the easiest changes.

^[9] It is a big transformation to become someone else. You will want to focus first on the traits and behavior that you can modify with the least work so that you don’t get overwhelmed. As you get used to adopting new characteristics, you can move on to the more difficult changes that will take the most time and energy to master.

Changing your appearance is usually a lot easier than altering years of learned habits. It can also go a long way toward making you feel different enough to motivate you to change other factors.
Changes that come more naturally will be easier. For example, if you have always been polite, then going out of your way to be extra polite will not take that much more effort. If you like to smile and laugh, then remembering to smile as much as possible throughout the day will probably be fairly easy.
Embrace the challenge. Some things can be very difficult to overcome. For example, if you're usually a timid person who keeps to themselves, then waving and saying “Hi” to strangers may be uncomfortable at first.
Know that with every challenge you accept and complete successfully, you will be closer to becoming the person you want to be.

3. Change your style.

How we present ourselves to the outside world dictates not only first impressions but often how we are perceived and treated.^[10] If you want to stand out, then wear clothing, colors, or haircuts that make you look different than other people.

If you want to be perceived a certain way, such as wealthy or a professional, dress and look the part. If you want to be seen as laid back and down-to-earth, you may want to dress down.
If you normally wear glasses, have long, brown hair and don’t wear makeup, think about how you might update your appearance. Cut your hair into a funky, short style and dye it a bold color like red, purple, blonde, or deep black. Get contacts or pick up chic-styled frames.
Pick up some guides on creative ways to do your makeup and practice different looks.
Buy new clothes. Think about what the new character you have decided to become would want to wear. Choose flattering options and wear what feels good to you. You probably want your appearance to go along with the positive new attributes you are working on.

4. Pay attention to how you present yourself.

^[11] We get impressions about people from more than their clothes or hair style. We see how they move, their gestures, and facial expressions, and form opinions about them based on those.

Watch how you move. The way a person moves can have a huge impact on how others perceive them. Move with confidence and poise.
Put on the outfit and shoes you will be wearing in public. Practice walking in high heels if they are part of your new look. Watch yourself in a mirror to see how you swing your arms and sway your hips.
Watch your expressions in the mirror. Practice smiling, laughing, and appearing engaged. See if you can hold a conversation with your new self.
You may also want to record yourself and watch it on video to see where you might improve your communication skills and body language. If you habitually twirl your hair, for example, consider whether this is a desirable trait for your new character. If not, make a deliberate attempt not to carry on this habit.

5. Change your role.

Use everything you’ve learned to become someone else. Make choices that will move you closer to your goal of becoming a new person.

Try on different qualities from people you admire. Go out to the store and be the high-energy, social butterfly that is curious about strangers and cracks jokes. Be the hero who can overcome any obstacle. Go out and train until you win a race.
If you’re stuck in a job position that seems to go nowhere, then get a completely new position doing something you enjoy more, or use your past experience to move up to a higher level role for another company. Open your own business or take on a student role for a while so you can become a doctor, lawyer, or something else. Move to another city with more opportunities for your skill sets.
If you’ve always been the one who gets stepped on in relationships, be the one who knows what they do or don’t want in the relationship first. Cultivate trust, mutual respect, and demand that you be treated as an equal. Learn to walk away from people and things that don’t benefit you.

1. Keep practicing.

^[12] Some traits, changes and approaches will take time to learn to do naturally. Remember, becoming someone else doesn’t happen over night. You will need to find out what you want, how to do it and keep at it until it works for you.

Focus on getting your characteristics down. You want the way you look, act, and the things you do to be second nature and part of your new identity. Practice regularly in multiple situations, roles, and relationships. Eventually, you won’t have to work at it anymore because it will become a part of who you are.
Participate in a new activity or hobby regularly, preferably outside of your comfort zone. This will stretch your horizons and allow you to learn to adapt to new situations and experiences more quickly.
Know your limitations. Some things cannot be safely altered and should not be, such as body type, height, foot size, finger length, or skin color, among others. Accept what you cannot change and spend your energy working on the things you can.

2. Stop judging.

^[13] What we fear other people think about us are often the things that we dislike, criticize or judge about other people. Be less judgmental to free yourself and others from this burden. It is hard to learn from others or grow as a person if you’re always feeling envious about another’s successes.

Resist the urge to be critical of others as well as yourself and start being an objective observer. Find out how others deal with failure, challenges, and try to integrate all these good qualities into your developing personality.
Recognize when you do a good job, handle a social situation successfully, or influence people in positive ways. Pin down how you did it, what you did that helped, and maybe what you did that didn’t help.

3. Adapt.

You will likely have to tailor certain qualities, styles, and roles to suit you. Sometimes things won’t work for you and that’s fine. Have the strength to throw out what won’t serve your transformation positively and focus on those that will.

If you have long black hair and want long blonde hair, know that repeated processing over time will likely damage your hair. You may need to keep it short instead of long to avoid breakage and a scraggly look. Consider using dark hair to your advantage and adding some beautiful highlights that look gorgeous against your deep hair color.
If you are 5’ and rather stocky, maybe you shouldn't expend a lot of energy to become a supermodel or famous basketball player—though there’s always a chance. Try being a face model, kickboxer, or a jockey instead. The trick is to problem-solve and adapt the quality you want to suit any limitations.

4. Have fun.

Don't take things personally. Some people may not understand what you are doing or why and could make fun of you. Embrace how far you have come and who you have become. Soon, the old you will be forgotten and the person you have worked so hard to become will truly be who you are.

When dealing with ridicule, think about how the person you admire would react and respond. Hopefully, you will do the right thing in this situation, too.
It’s hard to have fun if you’re always worrying about how you appear to other people. Most social interaction is not defined by rigid rules, and people are not waiting to make fun of you if you do something that isn’t considered normal. Just go along with the flow of the conversation and if you need to pause to think, do so.

You don't have do this--it is only for the people who don't like their selves or their life.

What if the person I want to be is pretty, but I'm not?

Everyone is pretty in their own way, but you could always use makeup and/or change the way you dress to look more like the other person.

I don't want to be someone else but people will love me more if I became someone else. What should I do?

That isn't true. You may be going through a tough time, but no one wants you to be something that you're not, not really. Just focus on being the best version of yourself you can be, and be kind and generous.

Can you do a report on how to dress like someone else?

Probably not. Check with your teacher.

Warnings:

Be careful when you attempt to imitate someone else exactly
. Your imitation could be offensive to that person you admire, and others may not respect you as being unique. It is best to develop your own character than to imitate others.
Don’t be devastated if someone you admire is not how you pictured them
or doesn’t live up to your expectations. Even being who they are can’t solve all their own problems. Remember that and don’t be so hard on yourself.
Being obsessed with another person is not healthy
. If you find that you can’t stop thinking about someone else, believe you have a special connection to someone you don’t really know and desperately need to become them, you should consider seeking professional help.

I'm so glad that so many of you who signed up for this game had the chance to read my personally written guide on How to Be Someone Else. A major thanks to northsidegal for allowing me to use this game as a platform to really help these players. After all, who would sign up to Be Someone Else if they didn't really want to Be Someone Else?

I'm a transparent flavour writer. As such, below are all of the sources I used to put together this guide.

Sources & Citations

And congratulations to the town!

Gamma: I already explained my case.
Cheeky: Provides little in the way of game content, preferring to say things like "why are you guys so scummy" and then proceeds to have the biggest mislynch bait ever as her top townreads. I don't see that coming from this great of a town player, especially considering the difference between this and Gold Rush, although that may be normal newbie queue playstyle differences.
TWC and Pintu: Both perfectly good and capable players that are staying under the radar. I'm willing to partly excuse this as there could be multiple reasons for this absense.
Wheme: Provides none in the way of actual game content, trolling, which is NAI, but makes me want to PL him.

This lynchpool contained all 3 scum and the third party, and served as the actual lynch order for the game.

tfw you're Mathdino and you're the town MVP of a game that you didn't play

I have one in mind which can help you with Fuzzylogic's alignment, if you want.
I'm not sure how long back this stretches. How far back the absolute lack of wagons on Scumfuzzylogic goes. But the flowchart was first developed back in 2018, so even back then this trend existed. That item on the flowchart wasn't something added later; it existed from the get-go, from the onset, from the very first development of the flowchart.

Scumfuzzylogic doesn't get wagoned...

ah yes

Shouts out to Aneninen, Almost50, Creature, Ellibereth, JaydragonKing, Ginngie, mastina, the worst, TwoInAMillion, Mulch, Pine, Brian Skies, implosion, Keychain, BBMolla, Shiro, camn, GuyInFreezer, Varsoon, CooLDoG, and Momrangal for all the valuable work they did contributing to Vaxkiller's wincon!

They win brownie points!

In post 1452, WhemeStar wrote:Isn’t the eldritch role op??

i argued to NSG pre-game that eldritchabomination was the biggest hit to the setup's balance

we agreed that it's swingy dependent on how it's used

in this case, aneninen took a while to invite power players to the PT and kind of slow rolled a few players in

vaxkiller took mastina's suggestion but that (unfortunately???) brought a lot of chaos to the thread and made it essentially unworkable

neither took creature up on his offer to conf the slot as town by getting creature to pay attention to the game

but yeah i believe that the role in the right (active) hands can:
- conf itself as town with meta on the players in the PT
- crowdsource 90% accurate meta-reads by inviting every scummer that can soul-read every player
- break the game open with a good setup speccer
- crowdsource paraphrased cases and pushes on people by copy pasting and swapping out words and phrases

that said the game was kind of a stomp for town so there was really never any pressure for the hydra heads to do shit

Shout out to kokichi for trying to vengekill WhemeStar every night

The survivor is generally +scum EV. If you can manage to get to LyLo with survivor still alive, surv can immediately win with scum -- it would almost be playing against wincon NOT to (as scum can just threaten to kill them if they don't play along).

The traitor was of course traitorised to bump scum down a bit. I think the lack of associations might've actually helped a lot with a more active bussy traitor with a better fakeclaim.

My opinion on EldritchAbomination does lead me to call this slightly townsided, which I think would've been rectified by coming up with believable fakeclaims for scum, but Eldritch turned out to not be as +town EV as I even expected. The vast majority of the roles are (by design) centred around dayplay more than nightplay -- town gets its information from talking and voting. Only two roles were confirmable, three if you add Eldritch+Creature. Which, against a scumteam + survivor, isn't THAT great.

So in this case I would say that perceived townsidedness was all in the form of one-two immediate scum lynches, and town earned that

Shouts out to mutantdevle btw, who self-appraised himself into reads on N1 that were fantastic enough to catch the nightkill. And shouts out to CheekyTeeky for playing D2 smooth as hell.

NSG and I were silently shouting at mutant to just out the guilty already so we could get a move on

Mathdino · Post Post #1479 (isolation #40) » Mon Apr 30, 2018 9:34 am

probably not

gamma was the designated killer being that he was the strongman of the team

and he got D1 lynched whoops

i was pretty surprised no one invited RC (to read maki, kokichi, wheme, cheeky, etc) or eddie cane (to ghostwrite cases)

Eldritch was never really forced to use its full abilities though

also surprised it was never a nightkill contender

I secretly wanted you to invite tons of people but I couldn't influence you explicitly
