A warlock, a werewolf, and a vampire... [Game Over]

[Gentleman 8]

but that's like not why she said she accepted? she said her reasons for accepting were in 325 whereas what she's talking about in 132 was general theory talk for the setup

i mean it might not be why she accepted, but it is why she didn't care about the theory stuff going on, which you're saying she should have read or whatever

(and tbh, my eyes glazed over at all the theory stuff in the beginning so i don't even know what discussion there was)

but also yes, you can also tell me why you don't believe that explanation either i guess? because that's a pretty weak explanation for scum to come up with lol

[Lady 5]

@G8 eh, I'm kind of coming round to me just being wrong about this or reading too much into it

I think it's a weak explanation but idk why scum inherently means strong explanation? but equally yeah, I think maybe I've been reading "weak explanation for doing it" as scum bullshitting when it could just be a weak explanation for an honest reason

[Gentleman 8]

i have no real frame of reference for this, since all the scum PTs in the recent dance games weren't released (the most recent one with a scum PT was 2017...) but I'd guess scum had some sort of discussion re: how they're gonna approach proposing or accepting dance proposals... or at least some sort of discussion about who they want to partner with (like if they're a weak player, try to get partnered with a player who seems strong, etc)

so off the cuff stuff like acceptance in the way lady 3 did it is at least slightly more likely to come from town i think. unless she's the type of scum who likes taking risks (i don't really care to meta dive her, it spoils the purpose of the game)

[Gentleman 8]

at the very least, even if they had zero discussion, it's slightly more probable that scum would be worried about accepting a proposal from a player who others are likely to think is scum

[Lady 5]

okay, that seems fair regarding the talking about proposing/accepting. I don't want to get too far into meta (because I agree it interferes with the point, but equally I know that it's informing what I think and I don't want to disadvantage my play by not using that knowledge or sharing it) but I don't think that L3 would go against a team consensus, which seems to fit unless the scum team have the plan of "just accept whatever if you're a lady" which... it's not unreasonable, I don't think, but I also don't know if it's that likely

idk if you're actually floating the idea that a weak scum would want to pair with a strong partner, but I'm not sure that's true. I'd rather pair with a moderate player in that circumstance, because I'd be worried about a strong player figuring me out.

okay, I suppose I'm back to around neutral on L3, maybe very, very slightly town

[Gentleman 8]

i am basing that assumption off
a. that's what scum _actually_ said in the last PT that was released (albeit 3 years ago in a non-anonymous game), and
b. we can choose to force couples out. doesn't really help if scum pair with a weaker player just because the weaker player is unlikely to figure them out - we can still forcefully evict them from the dance floor

[Gentleman 8]

i suppose it entirely depends on the composition of the scum team too, but whatever. point being that i think some thought would have gone into it and that doesn't exactly align with shoot from the hip proposal acceptance

[Lady 5]

sigh

[Lady 5]

I wish you weren't conftown, G8

[Gentleman 2]

I think Earth lady is town

[Gentleman 2]

VOTE: Gentleman 4

[Gentleman 8]

my kingdom isn't a democracy. who gave you permission to vote and what for?

[Gentleman 2]

Pardon, majesty. It's just my advice to evict Gentleman 4.

[Gentleman 8]

is it because you think he's a bad dancer? or did he offend you in some way?

[Gentleman 5]

Aren’t you supposed to be propositioning me or something?

1Who, me?

that's silly. the women in this game aren't the ones in danger of getting kicked out of my ball so why would they, even as scum, care about quickly accepting an offer?

That's true, but then maybe they're scum and just didn't have a plan in mind and did whatever

It sort of feels like L7, L8, G1, G4, G5, L6 are freezing out the rest of the game and just talking among each other

idk if that means that there is a cluster of scum in there, but it does make the game highly demotivating and uninteresting from the perspective of someone who is outside that, and also I'm somewhat doubtful that scum is entirely outside that grouping even though I don't have strong reads on anyone inside it

2I don't think that's true. People posted before I showed up, then they left, and I started posting. I'm talking with anyone who speaks.

1 you, but also the other gentlemen in general

2 it feels to me very much like that has been an in-group so far that has primarily been interested in speaking amongst itself. obviously, there were a lot of posts from when I first posted to when I came back, but when I was around as the day began I still felt that most of that group were not very interested in what I thought about anything or in engaging with me

my impression when I skimmed through until like p11 was that this group has mostly been talking with itself as a preference over the other slots in the game, particularly the quieter ones

I like the numbers to reply here. I'm not intentionally excluding anyone from conversation.

because I feel incredibly disengaged from the game, I'm not having fun, and I hope having a partner might help with that

Note that you don't get a pt until the end of the dance phase (after somebody is left out)

Who do you think we should leave out? Who are some of your preferences for the dance, other than me?

[Gentleman 4]

I think Earth lady is town

I’m more in the middle. It’s easy to complain about things.

Pardon, majesty. It's just my advice to evict Gentleman 4.

Ok, but why?

[Gentleman 4]

Can both of you talk about Rosalina 2 because that's my strongest SR rn

I liked her progression on L1.

[Lady 4]

Tbh I'm not gonna be too invested in "optimal matchmaking" here

[Lady 4]

Planet 5 seems genuine in her frustrations here

[Gentleman 7]

This isn't the first ball I come fashionably late to.

[Gentleman 7]

fakegod should have given these alts better names. Like gentleman suit or lady pizza. I will have such a hard time remembering who said what.

[Gentleman 8]

tbh half the time someone mentions a number in this game, i have to go look at their ISO to remember who they are

only a couple actually left enough of an impression that i can say "oh yeah, that number"

[Gentleman 5]

because I feel incredibly disengaged from the game, I'm not having fun, and I hope having a partner might help with that

Alright, you seem to have missed that I've already been paired up. I think making a fake proposal here would be cruel of me. Gent 1 is also paired up.

[Gentleman 7]

What are the pairs right now?

[Gentleman 5]

Pairs

Gentleman 9 - Lady 3
Gentleman 5 - Lady 8
Gentleman 1 - Lady 7
