Mini 2020: Destiny III: Cosmic Mafia [終わり]

[Nachomamma8]

Haven't read particularly in depth yet. Don't really have too much time to post right now.

But, even with nothing but a half-assed skim under my belt, I know that Staeg's almost certainly town here; pretty sure he's been mislynched (or should have been mislynched) in every game that we've played together in the past three years but the way that he responds to things with the sort of doe-eyed and underwhelming snark is exclusively his town meta. Think Muffin's push here is opportunistic. The rest of his reads are OK but as a whole underwhelming.

Remember FATE games dont get broken

They break you.

What makes sense is that yes, mafia had a way to know about the name of town before it was posted as a sample pm. Kuribo loses points for trying to act like they were confirmed town up until th epoint the mod came in thread and confirmed they weren't

You're technically correct that maybe mafia had a way to know the name of town before a sample PM was posted.
But we are playing a Fate game here - it took me a couple minutes to figure out my alignment in this game so entirely possible he forgot to let mafia know important things like "town is called Harmony".

I think that kuribo looks decently town outside of that. I don't have specifics now (I'd probably be throwing out things like "swagger" or "self-satisfied smirk" if I tried to talk about it now), but 1) do you have an opinion on kuribo outside or the harmony stuff and 2) are you really willing to die on this hill? because it looks like you're in the process of dying on this hill.

DGB is another "pretty much lock town" read in this game; she doesn't have anywhere the same amount of bite whether scum or town and, while I can find that playing with scumpartners she likes can elevate her play, I don't think that it would be elevated to this level.

I understand where LLD's coming from this game (it's an extremely awkward and uncomfortable place to come from), but DGB's just being DGB at this point and there's no reason for continued interactions here - you're just making yourself angrier and this game will continue to grate and be unfun until you manage to let go/disconnect from that particular piece. I have no problems with her reads so far, like the Kuribo/Maria observation in particular. I initially didn't understand it, but there was a similar and different dynamic with RC and Kuribo and believe that both Maria and Kuribo have the type of pride in their scumgames that can lead to an interaction like that.

Dont make me break out my modkill stick as I read this thread

Fucks know better

How do you interpret this series of posts, Nacho?

I interpret it as the modkill comment aimed at Kuribo for talking about mafia not knowing about harmony, and then fate confirming that they did know about harmony from the start

[Nachomamma8]

Espeonage also seemed pretty town.

My interpretation is sloppier than yours. I don't find this line of thought to be productive in any way at all.

1) do you have an opinion on kuribo outside or the harmony stuff and 2) are you really willing to die on this hill? because it looks like you're in the process of dying on this hill.

Lots of bravado but I'm not interested in voting there

I take trouble at LLD acting like she's sheeping MariaR here when they're blatantly not in the thread and were unsure of their read

Pixiecollective is in lala land

[Dunnstral]

Wait no, I know for sure that no new information was added with the arrival of the sample pm since I asked about it

I'm not sheeping Maria, you take that back.

I'm respecting Maria's ability to read you, if she suddenly strongly feels one way I'm going to heavily consider it because I have Maria as town.

As of right now, Maria has said nothing but "eh" towards you, and my read on you is scummy, so I'm voting you.

Don't get it twisted, don't represent it another way.

Hey people! It's me!
My partner was not lying (for once) about my VLA status. I am crazy busy for 2 weeks.. and no way will I be able to keep up. I told him he was on his own till then.

So, I have only really kind of skimmed.. BUT skimmed enough to see ~DGB vs LLD~.
Obviously..

VOTE: LLD

Like, are you fucking kidding me? Let's do this.
I am down for a grudgelynch on her any time.
Plus- Goof is right! Emotions are scummy. Who has time to have emotions during RVS? Anyone not sheeping goofball on this has questionable judgement. Including my esteemed partner.

That is all. I may check in again in a couple days. But I am working a bunch, plus trying to wrap my head around Nine Inch Nail's recent EP-trilogy.

I must gilt and frame this post.

[DrippingGoofball]

I don't get this business.

Is there some mystery reason why it's impossible for LLD to be scum? Or for people to try to figure out her alignment? Did I walk into a therapy session?

I feel like every post she's making is trying to bait me into a fight tbh.

Like what's this for? What is the motivation of writing this line beyond trying to make me angry?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Also the implication that people aren't trying to sort my alignment when 3 separate players have all said "I don't trust anyone's read on LLD but my own"....

is DGB reading the same game I am

I'm not even talking to you, you don't have to answer any of my posts. I'm talking to the others.

[DrippingGoofball]

It's been a policy of mine not to bother trying to convince the scum that they're scum.

[Kokichi Oma]

So. What's the consensus here?

How much of the thread have you read?

Not much tbh. Busy irl which is why VLA. BUT once I do, scum should be scared

[Kokichi Oma]

Oh wait, I remember reading stuff. I had Esp town and one other person town but, forgot. I'll check tomorrow

[Espeonage]

Despite Nacho's town meta case I'm still happy on Staeg.

Seems replicatable, especially with people that know of the meta existing. That said Nacho's push on muffin would be good if it wasn't vain.

[Espeonage]

Can I sig this post game?

[Espeonage]

Kinda want to start an argument with Kuri bc I read angry better than I read normal.

One the same note, and this may sound bad, but I want to wait and watch LLD. I think I'll be able to get a read I can believe in there rather than follow other people. Especially when I have never been able to read DGB with any conviction historically.

[Espeonage]

I promise I'll get engaged when a proper argument kicks off.

[Espeonage]

Hey Kok I want an explanation of your read on me. I don't want to get pocketed and I have caught you a couple of times recently.

[Kokichi Oma]

Meta is the best I can explain right now. You act differently as scum.

[Espeonage]

I resent that.

[zMuffinMan]

work kicking my ass. will be around tomorrow morning probably
