Micro 885: Crown on the Ground (Game Over)

[Hectic]

Strongest townreads at the moment are pops and egdUf. These reads are little scuffed maybe perhaps could be possibly, so I'll reread the thread and post properly tomorrow, or maybe this evening actually.

For now:

x maya has failed to pick up her prod. Searching for replacement for x maya.

Can I Ask why you don't suspect my slot or X Maya's who both lurked out of the game then?

[Hectic]

I see his lurking as tactical, he intends to stay in the game and doesn't look like to be replacing out. Maya and and your slot lurked into replacement (or asked to be replaced) - that's not alignment indicative.

[RCEnigma]

So I've ruled out hectic + egduf as a team and Hectic + Gameplay to a lesser extent. That's not a read on their alignments individually though.

Dear Phillippa,

I must apologize for the length of time since my last letter. I am afraid I took ill, with a fever climbing beyond 39 degrees Centigrade! Fear not for me, my friend, as the fever has broken, and my physician assures me all will be well soon enough.

Much has happened while I lay ill. First, I have included a letter written to me by Miss Pops. Just as she rescued me from the perfidy of Miss Egduf, so too has she consented to join us in our phrenological research. Hooray! She has some interesting theories with regards to Mister Drew, which I heartily support given his suspicious activity observed after receiving her letter. Surely, his intentions do not match his words.

I begin to suspect we were wrong with regard to Mr. Hectic. While he is certainly erratic and strange, the rush to condemnation seems overly hasty. I suspect that if he were part of some nefarious enterprise, his partner would rather protect him, and conversely the real criminals would be all too eager to use him as a scapegoat. Therefore, I believe he is guilty of little more than being a young man, prone to the eccentricities of callow youths and little more.

My greatest concern continues to be Miss Egduf. While I consider her most likely in league with Mister Drew, she continues to be suspicious of her own accord.

Fondest regards,
Henrietta

On the grounds of inconsistency.

[popsofctown]

Why is transitioning from a scumread to a townread on a slot with multiple intervening posts, and with justification provided, scummy inconsistency? If that's not an organic read transition I don't know what one looks like.

[RCEnigma]

They still scumread egduf but don't scumread Hectic because their partner would have come to their defense to protect them. Which correspondence' scumread did. That's...not organic to me.

[RCEnigma]

To me it seems like they needed a reason to back off of Hectic so they could push elsewhere and weren't considering how slots are interacting with Hectic.

That's kind of a stretch but plausible.

[popsofctown]

They were already pushing edguF harder than Hectic though. Why do they need a reason to back off Hectic? They're free to insist he's on the backburner. Since Henrietta's last post is a little late for the hydra as a whole and Phillipa hasn't posted in a while it suggests they pivoted stances on Hectic without using intrahydra communication, which should actually be townread, when there's so much flaff they could have commented on. Since Henrietta spearheaded the slots push on Hectic it's plausible she'd go for that without consulting.

[popsofctown]

iirc townDunnstral popped in popped out like this in Starry Night. But I liked the contents of his popins more.

[RCEnigma]

I'm over having to individually read Hydra heads.

Assuming you're town, I'm town, and hectic is town then it's bad for correspondence to continue pushing hectic as he's getting backup or at least people are flipping to townreads on him.

If correspondence is scum with Drew then even more so since there is a potential 1v1 brewing there. Plus they get towncred where it isn't due if drew flips since they called Drew wolfy a couple times but never really pushed it.

[popsofctown]

I'm over having to individually read Hydra heads.

I never get "over" anything that can improve my win %

[Dunnstral]

Does that include taking pot shots at me every few posts?

[RCEnigma]

Spicy.

[Hectic]

Fantastic news everyone: I'm going to claim town. Thought about survivor or lyncher, but I think it'd be hard to justify those, so town it is for now.

The reread that was promised will be delivered tomorrow. For now, I have some enquiries to make to some of the lovely innocent members of this fine upstanding town.

Correspondence: Why are you suspicious of Efudg? You have a severe lack of interactions with others in this game. Your letters are never addressed to anyone but each other, which means you haven't been asking questions, and have rarely answered questions (a few indirect answers). This evidently makes you incredibly difficult to read, and harder to associate with potential scum buddies, I can't help but believe your account's theme lends itself well to you if you're scum, and that you're aware of this and making full use out of it.

I am very very very very satisfied with RCEnigma's recent posts, and agree with him that Correspondence changing their mind on me based on no one coming to my defense, when their number 1 scumread (Edguf) did infact do just that is kind of slightly a little bit kinda weird. RCEnigma: What's your opinion on my "scum with you" post now? Do you believe me when I said it was a callback, and I was joking - similar to the Purge game?

Dunnstral's popped in with another essentially contentless post. Some reads would be nice you know. Do you scumread pops' for her long shots at you for example?

@Oversoul:

I am extremely extremely sorry if this has been answered before, or if you can't answer this, but:

Are crown abilities alignment-indicative? E.g: Are the crown abilities randomly distributed between everyone, or have they been specifically chosen for each role with alignment in mind?

I'll accept a simple slap on the wrist if you can't answer this.

I mean, I like that Hectic is unvoting me, but this is bothering me.

I know I know, I am being so vague about Hectic. Too tired to get into it now, but tomorrow I will let you get inside my brain about all this.
