Micro 953: Treestump Express [Game Over]

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i'd think if hoptic was scum that egix would've been the one in the endgame

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Aww I wanted to live, its Hoptic probably.

That was a really bad setup the other 2 just don't make sense as scum. It's the weirdest person to be left alive, compare him to me and pooky, we both should be alive right now over him.

pedit: At least we agree it's not Y'shtola.

I'm so glad I'm not alive with you because I would just die

[AliceRaider45]

Honestly I'd even take Holmes to this F3 over Hoptic?
I just don't reasonably see why Chemist or Chkflip look at this playerlist and go "Hoptic is the dude I want to fight"

I also just have trouble seeing them being town, maybe that drunk posting stuff was town but what do I know about reading that sort of stuff.

pedit: You think so, why?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

VOTE: Egix

I’m interested to see where this goes

this post is so distancing lol

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

yea there's no way scum leave town-chemist alive over alice or me imo

[Hoptic]

What do you mean? You and Alice were universal townreads as far as

stated

reads went.

hoptic was the guy who put the final nail in pighawk's coffin - he makes perfect sense as bait-lynch today

I don't see why he pushes pighawk over the edge if he's going to be the mafia-survivor today

yes but we look worse after pighawk flips town and you can make the case to lynch us pretty easily today imo

[Hoptic]

Pighawk actively decided to gamethrow with the selfvote. He always flips either scum or blacklisted town.

-H

[Hoptic]

We'd only ever be part of an endgame with two of (Sherlock/Chemist/Ckflip/Egix (remove Egic depending on your pov)) based on our reads. This endgame makes sense since any other combination I'd be happy who I'm voting.

-Ho

[AliceRaider45]

Actually I agree with Pooky, Hoptic is even backing up his push after Pighawk flipped town.
Look at that energy!

[Hoptic]

Chkflip being a stated scumlean and Chemist is a stated 'neutral because he's less likely to be scum with Pig and Pig has claimed scum already' that I've argued with a bit.

This is a list of every game I've played recently. See if you can work out why most of them have several month long gaps between them.

I'm pretty fucking sick of town decided to screw us over every single game. This was mechanically a self hammer/suicide. Has the whole site become this terrible now, or is it just unlucky that 4/6 of the last games I've played have involved town intentionally suiciding because they only care about themselves and want to spoil things for everyone else?

wtf is a trust tell lol

[Hoptic]

A trust tell is where you say 'I only ever do this as one alignment and I can prove it (or it's clearly true when you look through their games).

The annoying thing is it wasn't even a trust tell. He just phrased it so badly that he got modkilled for it since everyone (including me until I asked him irl what he was actually trying to say) interpreted him saying 'I've only done this as town so far ]i] because [/i] since I haven't rolled scum recently but I was planning to do it next time as scum' to be 'I only ever do this as town'.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

you're not allowed to do that anymore?

[pighawk]

Haptics rage seems fake af

[pighawk]

How does it sort chkflip and chemist?

[pighawk]

Let me rephrase, the rage could be real, but the choice to channel it here is distracting from the actual 3p that’s going on

[Hoptic]

To be fair, there's a lot of rules that don't get enforced.

Do not attempt to play the same game under more than one name.

We're calling ourselves Hopkirk AND Hectic here. I'm not sure the mod even noticed lol.

Do not bring outside influences into the game - this includes threats, bribes, wagers, promises, "trust tells", alliances, etc. Using knowledge from previous games is perfectly acceptable, but try not to carry grudges from one game to another.

Hectic told me that if we don't win this then he's going to break my legs. It's pretty reasonable since I had to set him on fire after the last time we played together.

Do not edit/delete posts.

Sometimes I actually go back and fix the grammer in my posts. They don't stop us editing them before we make them
... actually you can tell I'm not being serious here based on the number of messed up tags and stuff. Nevermind.

Do not quote communications with the moderator (in particular, your role PM). Paraphrasing is usually ok.

Hey Hopkirk, how come you look exactly like a younger and far more handsome Brad Pitt?

I'm not saying that came with my role pm...

(Hop note - the above is a joke, I actually just wrote a quote and attributed it to North. Don't feel bad if you didn't manage to pick up on this, it was ingeniously subtle.)

Do not post in the game after you are dead or replaced. Some moderators do allow contentless "Bah!" posts, but you should never reveal information once you are dead.

WOW. YOU SHOULD ALL FEEL ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. Other rules have exceptions where it says 'unless the game rules say otherwise' but not this one. I think it's fairly clear that the admin's intent was that treestumps are banned.

Don't kill your players in real life if they die in game. We've been really clear about this, but some people are surprisingly good at finding out where players live. Please note - if Flopz is modding your game and starts joking asking you where you live DO NOT TELL HIM

No comment, but I wouldn't say no comment if I had

no comment

if you get what I mean...

You have an amazing grasp of my psychology.

I'm waiting for Chemist/Hectic/Chk to show up. I know who I'm leaning more towards at the moment.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

One point that I did realize as I was in the shower yesterday and I'm kind of kicking myself for is that I should've realized pighawk was town when the 2 heads started arguing with each other in thread whether I was scum or not - the argument wouldn't make sense for pighawk to have if he was scum.

Though it could've been scum theater in a desperate ploy to get himself off the lynchpost - in real time it felt genuine. I haven't played enough with hydras to have experience about whether this is a common scum ploy.

[chkflip]

Whichever one you it is, I'm both unhappy with you and unsurprised in equal measure. I just woke up to terrible news and was hoping to not have to do this. But give me 24 hours and I'll full bore into this.

[Hoptic]

I don't get why either of you signed up (~) to this not wanting to be in the 3p? This setup is exactly like having a bunch of angry ghosts talking in your head that are forced to listen to whatever you say out of some ongoing sense of obligation. How is that not fun?
