Open 739: Epic Duel [Game Over]

[PenguinPower]

[PenguinPower]

Alright, I'm ready. Let's go.

[PenguinPower]

Hi, duck.

Penguins are better.

[PenguinPower]

Penguinpower can I trust you to speed duel Garmr?

Can I answer this a bit later? Still don’t have great reads right now, though I did gut read you as town.

[PenguinPower]

Agree with the duck.

[PenguinPower]

@penguin power
What do you think about enjjimani slot.

Not sure yet. I don't remember playing with him before, and his posts so far are meh.

gut read Walt scum

Hmm...I like the duck, despite him being wrong on aquatic bird superiority.

p-edit

tbf, we can't lynch him yet. I think he has much more to offer.

[PenguinPower]

(super secret fun fact: the duck could quite possibly not be town)

[PenguinPower]

At this point? I could do BuJaber. Undecided on Garmr.

I don't tr Walt.

[PenguinPower]

Hurts my feelings when you scum read me, RC.

[PenguinPower]

But helps me know you're town.

[PenguinPower]

Do I scumread you or do I not locktownread you?

Included me in the pool, so that was my interpretation of your list.

I'm not gonna locktown you off of that alone.

Don't expect a locktown at this point.

[PenguinPower]

oh, my.

[PenguinPower]

i'm not asking you to sort me

i'm asking you to work with me on other people

surely you realise I'm gonna be frustrated as shit working thru stuff w me when I can't even tell why you guaranteed your own lynch this game

Has he guaranteed it?

[PenguinPower]

I mean, I think RC is town. But, I've seen him direct things back from worse, so for you to say he's guaranteed it gives me a bit of pause.

[PenguinPower]

Meta. It's not strong, but I don't have many strong reads right now.

[PenguinPower]

Meta. It's not strong, but I don't have many strong reads right now.

Tbh I feel yah I don't have many strong reads either. But what about his meta do you scum read. So I can get a understanding.

Not something I can discuss right now.

[PenguinPower]

RC is town. I wouldn't have replaced in if I didn't think he was.

BuJaber is still scum. Ejj is mebee. WorstBird is balancing between right now. Walt I dunno. Garmr prob town. Shoshin...not sure if I can townread, but townlean? Io is town that will probably end up scum. Nic Cage feels off so I'm going to put him in the middle with WorstBird right now until I can figure it out.

tfw RC is the only good townread you have and it's D1.

[PenguinPower]

I need them more active so I can actually read them.

[PenguinPower]

What happens to your scum pool when I flip town?

[PenguinPower]

Might want to think about it.

[PenguinPower]

PP why does RC's alignment make a difference to you repping in or not? And did you know he duelled your slot before repping in?

I wouldn't want to lose a duel to scum!RC...I don't mind to town!RC. Yes, I knew he dueled my slot before requesting to replace it. It's the reason why I replaced in...this slot was never not going to end up losing the duel, and I'm quite sure that most people don't want to rep in to a gladiated slot, let alone one against RC.

[PenguinPower]

I agree with 2 out of 3 of his scum reads. I trust RC to influence this town more than I can.

p-edit

I've already answered that.

[PenguinPower]

WorstBird is balancing between right now.

Gun to my head, scumlean...but, I have limited experience with him.

[PenguinPower]

Sorry for expecting you to read?

I mean...go look at my two scum reads and his two scum reads and use basic deduction.

Also...I don't scum read you...not sure where that came from.

That was a really bad post.

[PenguinPower]

Your scumreads are bujab and ejji?

Correct.

Rc still seems reckless but he might be more useful in lynching the duck who is very likely to be scum here

As I said above, he probably would be.

[PenguinPower]

Prodging. It will be a few hours until I get settled into my room and get internet setup.

[PenguinPower]

I pretty clearly want him to say more, hence WHY I SAID I WAS VOTING HIM TO MOTIVATE HIM TO PROVIDE MORE CONTENT

Which you then started SHADING me over

Do you not want more content from his slot because he sure seems to have said very little to me?

Doubt you’re going to get much from me right now beyond my reads. I’ve already said why I replaced in, so I’m not sure why you think voting me is suddenly going to do something. Will make sure to update my reads prior to the duel ending...I think they have shifted a bit.

[PenguinPower]

VOTE: Io[/]

Fun fact: I’m sailing towards a hurricane right now!

[PenguinPower]

I want to lynch Io first. I said in my first reads that Io was possibly deepwolf. And, with RC agreeing the slot needs to go I intend to follow through.

VOTE: Io

[PenguinPower]

Just got off the ship. Will catch-up tonight.

[PenguinPower]

PenguinPower -- Lurked out the duel and hasn't really done much since, a null that at the moment leans scum because I don't think he usually lurks this much as town (but I have limited first hand experience with him as a player).

So I don’t end up replaced...

content: I haven’t lurked at all. I was in the middle of the Caribbean sea since 10/7 (hence the V/LA). I thought I was going to be able to catch up last night at the hotel but internet was not working. My plane just landed me home this afternoon so I plan to catch up tonight and/or in the morning.

You are right that I don’t usually lurk as town though.

[PenguinPower]

Prodding Nicolas Cage

Lulz.

[PenguinPower]

Just realized that

@mod's

EODuel votecount was wrong and NC wasn't even voting me...

Why didn't you at least vote me - if not campaign for my lynch - if you thought RC would further lynches on your scum reads? Especially since you are still pushing that slot, and I stated that I should be the lynch. You unvoted and then made a bleh irrelevant vote instead.

[PenguinPower]

Even with the replacements, I think we need to follow RC's reads. I don't like the townreads from NC on either Io (BEF) or Ejji (teh Elephant).

I like teh Elephant though...too bad not town.

[PenguinPower]

Why are Io/BEF and Ejji/Elephant scum?

Hi. Answer me first.

we need to follow RC's reads

rly tho when do YOU as town follow RC's reads?

You are PENGUINPOWER you are not COWPOWER

wut? RC is confirmed town. I already stated we had similar reads. What are you attempting to do with this post?

[PenguinPower]

Yeah, I don't believe that (as previously stated...sigh, I'm tired of stating it, because you have shown you just don't read this game).

I said I had the mostly the same reads as RC. RC was more willing to support your lynch preference. You did fuck all to help him, and fuck all to lynch me, and now I'm in your scumpool.

I'm happy lynching anyone you don't want to lynch. Or you.

p-edit

how do I do the lol face?



Yep, there it is.

[PenguinPower]

? I literally just got back to the game...

I caused you to replace out? Hope this doesn't end up being a strategic rep for obv reasons, but it won't change my read on your slot.

[PenguinPower]

When you say you "don't like the townreads" what do you mean?

I mean I don't like his townreading/reasons for townreading you and BEF. Especially BEF.

p-edit

I agree. Lynch BEF.

[PenguinPower]

It's straight up opportunistic...

How is it opportunistic?

[PenguinPower]

Io/slot or nic slot should be the lynch of today.

Yes. With BEF preferred.

[PenguinPower]

Even with the replacements, I think we need to follow RC's reads. I don't like the townreads from NC on either Io (BEF) or Ejji (teh Elephant).

I like teh Elephant though...too bad not town.

So do I. Why is he not town then?

He replaced into a scummy slot?

Although...I may be wrong because I like what teh Elephant is pushing as I catchup.

[PenguinPower]

@PenguinPower: Do you still scum read Bujaber and ejjinami?
If so, can you elaborate on why?

Bujaber, yes, because I am always wary of anyone with a strong townread on me, especially early on. Didn't like the sheeping either.

teh Elephant...I guess not really anymore.

[PenguinPower]

Spoiler: This

I’ve been skimming and will start here
VOTE: BrightEyedFish

I’m not around as much on the weekends so if I need my vote somewhere else I’ll figure that out Monday

idk what NC is but maybe what I bolded is a scumslip, so
Nothing he posted came across as super towny imo
His case on tw was weak and I think the slot was/is green based on tw's posting
So like, from 1-10, 10 being town, he's like a 4
Also whoever said sheeping RC is a bad idea: how familiar are you with RC's meta?

Why can't we lynch Io slot now? Seems like that's what we should do.

Spoiler: Especially This

Also hi I like you too

[PenguinPower]

[PenguinPower]

Hmm...

[PenguinPower]

Creature is solidifying my Nic read right now.

Thanks.

[PenguinPower]

Oh. You’re still here.

Retracting.

[PenguinPower]

I still strongly want BEF today and I think Nic/Creature will sort itself by tomorrow.

P-edit

You are imo.

[PenguinPower]

You have about 48 hours...soooo

[PenguinPower]

D2 will bring much needed information if I am alive to share it.

Why can't you share it now?

[PenguinPower]

Yeh...I'm still happy with my vote.

I want to see if my theory is correct.

[PenguinPower]

Damn I'm likely dying tonight

I find that highly unlikely.

[PenguinPower]

Hey look. I was right.

Probably Creature next but I need to double check something first.

[PenguinPower]

Shoshin kill doesn’t make sense to me.

[PenguinPower]

Who’s scum, Creature?

I’m concerned about you right now.

[PenguinPower]

I know you obvtown. That’s my concern.

[PenguinPower]

Gah. Similar read.

Ok.

P-edit

Hmmm. Don’t want Creature today. I’ll give him a chance to do his thing.

[PenguinPower]

Probably best for no duel today

[PenguinPower]

I thought I was going to die since I'm the most town read out of everyone. Maybe it has something to do with my reads I'm going to recheck everything.

You are?

[PenguinPower]

Ffs. Again?

[PenguinPower]

VOTE: FA_Q2

[PenguinPower]

Um...no.

[PenguinPower]

Did you read the setup before replacing? That’s two.

[PenguinPower]

Garmr, remind me what caused you to flip on this read again:

Note:Bright eyed fish and FAQ2 aren't scum together.

[PenguinPower]

Congrats on the job.

Still ok with FA_Q2 over Garmr.

Creature is not obvtowning for me, and it's making me reaffirm my Nic scum read.

[PenguinPower]

Hi. Vote FA_Q2 if you are a player in the game or implement standard plurality rules once the majority threshold has been met if you are a mod in the game.

I mean...we've all made our decisions and are just waiting at this point.

Prodge.

[PenguinPower]

White Flag mechanic.

[PenguinPower]

And the rest of town is seriously tr this bullshit. Really.

BEF v2.0

[PenguinPower]

VOTE: Light Ethos

This is what I wanted before the duel.

[PenguinPower]

so.....

[PenguinPower]

Oooh.

So it was Garmr. I got a bit arrogant after my Io read...but you did hop on that one at the end didn’t you...with like 24 hours left?

[PenguinPower]

This a plurality game so you didn’t kill or secure anything. Happy to duel you tomorrow if you lynch LE with me today.

Absent an Io bus, why am I scum enough for your vote?

[PenguinPower]

1) Sorry we ended up lunching scum. I was obviously not going to be her counterwago given the duel.
2) Your duel kinda stifled all discussion outside you and faq
3) I expected to die upon replace in so of course I’m comfortable.

Bad reasons. I’m reflectin back on RC’s comments on you and i am again fine with LE and dueling you.

[PenguinPower]

I have no idea how to read creature this game because the activity tell isn’t working. I hated the Nic slot so I could possibly vote there. I also hate Garmr scumteading me weakly and then moving on coupled with RC’s read.

I’m a bit lost right now.

I’m going to re-read tomorrow.

[PenguinPower]

You linked a game that i was in?

Anything else to offer there?

[PenguinPower]

Since you didn't see it, Nicolas Cage is pretty different there compared to this game.

Really? How?

He came after me baselessly as he did here.

[PenguinPower]

Ugh. Creature activity is similar though.

[PenguinPower]

Yeah...I’m fine with LE and Garmr.

[PenguinPower]

So once LE flips town who do you think my partner would be if I was scum.

I would probably re-evaluate my scum read on you at that point.

[PenguinPower]

Scum is in {Light Ethos, Garmr, Irrelephant11}

gramr,

FAQ

, (BuJaber/

Penguin

/

Sho

)
My bets on scum team.
Either way I'm voting gramr today or dueling him tomorrow if he avoids the noose.

Never votes Garmr though...votes Bujaber.

I'd be willing to forgo killing gramr immediatly since I'm 99% certain Gramr v Ejj is TvS and Ejj sounded pretty scummy during that last page.

Doesn't vote Ejj (elephant) though...votes Bujaber.

In fact. If Bujaber flips scum today I'm instadueling Ejj so we can end this game sooner.
If he flisp town, I dunno. But I can guarantee is BuJaber flips scum so will Ejj.

Makes me think that Bujaber is town and Ejj (elephant) scum because this is a way to secure a town lynch and allow a pass on Ejj lynch.

So maybe it's Garmr and Elephant. Either way, Garmr is the constant.

VOTE: Garmr

[PenguinPower]

Since I was pushing Irrelephants aka eji slots lynch early on in the voting phase and the slot hated my guts.

You "pushed hard" by naked voting them at the start of the voting phase without strongly advocating for their lynch, and then switched off to a hard town read when elephant replaced in. Convenient.

You then hopped on the Io wagon once it was a definitive lynch. There is nothing in this game that precludes you from being scum with either of them.

Also that seems like a real Omgus reaction to me scum reading them.

Because you went from town reading me to scum reading me for bad reasons. It opened me up to the possibility that you were scum with no hard reads - hence why I went back to look at Io and Elephant.

[PenguinPower]

Pedit - with the shoshin kill I'm favoring ele and PP seems unwilling to vote for creature here

If we lynch Creature, and he flips town, does that change any of your reads or will you still want Elephant?

[PenguinPower]

Yeah so that last post of Io was after the duel ended. So only garmr in the null pile.. I doubt she'd do that deliberately with a buddy

Garmr wasn't in the null pile as of her last post. He was a town read over Elephant.

[PenguinPower]

this is dumb
why wasn't faq2 scum

also can it just be creature and le because that requires the least re-evaluating fmpov

You think creature pushed LE and sat on his wagon for the majority of today as his partner knowing it would lose him the game?

Like...that pairing doesn't make sense.

[PenguinPower]

Alright N_M

[PenguinPower]

Yep. I'm happy with my Creature townread.

[PenguinPower]

Gives bad reasons for his 180 on me. Says scum reads on him with supporting rationale are artificial.

Someone meme that with a cute penguin pic pls. It’s Halloween and I have to take care of the kids.

[PenguinPower]

Also PP because he may have TMI'd the fact thatcreature is town.

Look at Creature's title.

That is why he is town.

[PenguinPower]

Why is ele town, PP?

Where have I put him as town?

[PenguinPower]

Alright N_M.

[PenguinPower]

You didn't.. I assumed based on you voting for LE and scumreading garmr also.

You didn't.. I assumed based on you voting for LE and scumreading garmr also.

I'm waffling between LE and Elephant. It's why I'm voting Garmr.

1233

Your case on town!Garmr is AtE and a previous game?

[PenguinPower]

Hi. If you aren't going to read the game, please let the adults discuss.

[PenguinPower]

If Creature is scum I will record myself eating a sock and upload it to Youtube, and then force the removal of his title.

I still think Garmr is best, but will vote LE given the slot would be horrible to take into LyLo if the game doesn't end.

[PenguinPower]

I was pretty much guaranteed to win end game in the position I was in if I was scum (Unless I was with light ethos which I'm not).

Unless you were with LE who is the current leading wagon, and you are fighting really hard to move it to me...

[PenguinPower]

Votes fucking light ethos despite building up creature all game and jumps on the wagon with creature sure he scum read walt in early game but this was his last read

Maybe keep things in context and not build a case to serve your purpose:

If I had to duel somebody rn, I would duel Light Ethos

Gah. Similar read.

Ok.

P-edit

Hmmm. Don’t want Creature today. I’ll give him a chance to do his thing.

[PenguinPower]

VOTE: LE

@mod: V/LA until 12:00pm CST on 11/4

[PenguinPower]

If light ethos is scum I will apologise to penguin power game end over my last minute freak out because they probably aren't scum with them.

Waiting for this especially given the personal attack about my intelligence and that fact that you were dead-ass wrong.

Thanks for repping in Creature. Really helped with my read on the Nic slot. Probably would have pushed as scum otherwise.

gg all. Wish you had stuck around duck!

Good job modding AG. Thanks!

[PenguinPower]

Yep sorry but you were wrong about me to and I thought you were scum in the same way nic treat me :p.

You should re-read the game, Garmr. I didn't start scumreading you until your bad flip on me (admittedly enhanced by your bad duel) - while maintaining my scumread (though waffling) on actual scum, instead of tunneling on two town (as you did the entirety of the last day).

Still waiting on the apology. If you're going to promise one when proven wrong, at least follow through. Again...especially given the personal attack on my intelligence. What was it? "Really fucking stupid" or do you prefer "dumb fuck?"
