Mini Normal 2170: Stuff I’m Listening To [Game Over]

[Thestatusquo]

But my critique is also not limited to the length of post but rather the substance. Your claim is that you've been watching the game and looking at all the reaction and then the first time you cast a non-random vote all game its about something that feels sort of knee jerk and based on literally just a throw away thing that happened super recently? Really?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I'm having trouble getting him to respond to a 1 liner, you think it'd be easier if I posted multiple lines?

[Thestatusquo]

I just dont understand why this is voteable but like literally hundreds of other things werent for you.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

because he's ignoring me and I'm hoping a vote will get him to engage with me

[Thestatusquo]

Thats actually reasonable. MB.

[quote="In post 487Gamma, can you elaborate on this vote and your current feelings of MC? Could you also tell me your current thoughts on Shea, myself (again), and Outworld?[/quote]

You did explain yourself re: myself. How about Shea and Outworld?

Trying to place Noraa's slot is a bitch considering all the fluff going on in this ISO. 242 gives me really bad scum pings I didn't pick up before and it reads as very deflective. I have no idea what to make of that conversation about opportunism considering I don't even really understand what people are saying there. 465 rings to me as a good post with a genuinely good point.

IDK, I'd go slight scumlean with a trend towards null on that slot right now.

I kinda love how the two posts u point out are both literally such random posts that aren't even any of the ones I considered scummy or townie. Like I had some posts that I, myself knew where sorta townie or sorta scummy. But u literally point out two of the most useless and random posts. Idk I just dont get why you cherry picked those two that mean absolutely nothing imo.

this post annoys me severely

242: You point out that Murdercat also didn't have much substance to his reads, which is fair tbh, but also means you are completely deflecting what is a very fair point. Pot calling the kettle black, essentially, and deflection is a very scummy tactic.

465: you did actually have a good point about Blitzo deflecting attention to kasu in his post and dismissing any pressure against him once again, which was kinda yikes and I'm surprised nobody pressed on that harder.

I pointed out these two posts because they were the ones I was able to read into at the time. I didn't really get pinged by any of other posts, so I either missed something or just didn't fine anything noteworthy about them that I hadn't already said.

[Kasumeat]

Ugh my power just cut out so I'm phone posting for the time being. I like noraa. I agree with most of her reads and her tone is whimsical and steam of consciousnessy. It's fakeable but strikes me as legit, especially if she's new. She's actually engaging with Mc and even if I'm starting to disagree with her on the sr there it seems like she's actually trying to solve.

Noraa, what do you think of gamma right now?

[Kasumeat]

Power is back

Anyway, that's all I got. Yeet murdercat probably.

Why? I have mixed feelings on MC. I'd be happy to share but I'd like to hear your reasoning first.

[Kasumeat]

Shea, I agree with your 472 but I'm wondering why Bulge's line of questions "don't make sense" to you but they don't seem scummy to you. Why not?

[Thestatusquo]

Shea, I agree with your 472 but I'm wondering why Bulge's line of questions "don't make sense" to you but they don't seem scummy to you. Why not?

I dont think I said anything about what they say about bulges alignment.

I have been feeling more uneasy about the bulge but mostly its related to what I see as pretty persistent efforts to try to buddy up to me.

I will say I also find this post by you while you're voting me and saying things like two posts of mine can't possibly come from town to be pretty odd.

If you're so sure I'm scum why do you care about my opinion?

[Thestatusquo]

This should say "I have been feeling more uneasy about the bulge but mostly its related to what I see as pretty persistent efforts to try to buddy up to me as well as the relational things I'm seeing in the group of MC-You-Bulge-Blitzo which I don't think will be solved today.

[Kasumeat]

On the other hand, I do agree with Shea about getting pinged by Pooky's 180:

I have been trying a more logical solve based approach to the game rather than a pressuring attack based approach because I find people are easier to read when they do not feel attacked.

because he's ignoring me and I'm hoping a vote will get him to engage with me

But then he drops it, just like with Bulge. Shea is asking questions and making obversations that I like but I'm not liking that he seems to just drop them when there is something there that looks worth following up on.

Pooky, if your plan is to sit back and not pressure anyone, why are you so quick to abandon it?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

because when 1 plan doesn't work I switch to the other plan.

I mean, the fact that there is an implication that his questions are scummy but you don't mention that is indeed what I'm pointing out here. How DO you feel about his questions?

I really like your questions and observations lately. I don't like that you don't seem interested in following up and I'm wondering why you haven't. I'm starting to reevaluate my read on you, though I do worry that I'm giving you too much credit because I'm happy that you've eased up on me. Why doesn't Pooky's sudden 180 seem to bother you too much?

[Kasumeat]

How DO you feel about his questions?

As in, do you find them townie scummy or neutral?

[Thestatusquo]

I don't know what you mean by not following up. i feel like I've asked all the questions I needed to ask and when I don't get the answers I keep asking questions and when I get answers that either make sense to me or whatever I stop.

Just because I'm not screaming bloody murder about someone doesn't mean I don't think they have the potential to be scum, I'm just not sure who I want to vote right now because theres a lot of moving pieces here and I'm still not sure how to fit them together.

[Thestatusquo]

FWIW I feel like theres a pretty compelling reason to vote almost anyone in the game right now, and many of them also have compelling reasons to think they're town.

[Kasumeat]

because when 1 plan doesn't work I switch to the other plan.

This is scummy as hell. Your "plan" of being passive can't work unless you give it time to do so.

Why does this game feel like it has half a dozen scum.

[Kasumeat]

FWIW I feel like theres a pretty compelling reason to vote almost anyone in the game right now, and many of them also have compelling reasons to think they're town.

I could not agree more, though I think I would say this about nearly every game of mafia I've ever played.

Anyways it's 3 AM, will continue this tomorrow.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

why would Blitzo answer me if he ignored me before ?

I’m TRing both Shea and Outworld rn

[PJ.]

This seems bizarre. Also what a weird way to ask that question from chickenkatsu

[Blitzo]

VOTE: Blitzo

imo its kind of shady for him to ask me for my opinion multiple times but when I say he's my top SR just ignore me and post 4 times without responding to it. shade thrown.

Honestly? I was expecting you to post something else or to come up with more.
Two reads in a game of 13 people, one of which appearing incredibly unfounded, is unimpressive. TSQ's assessment of your read on me is correct, in addition to that read being backed with little to begin with (RE: I've been asking about kasu repeatedly in yet that has gone completely unnoticed by you somehow.)

In fact I'm still expecting something else because I really don't think you're done posting reads or opinions. You want me to engage you? Sure. I am also, however, expecting you to post more about the remaining 11 players in the game.

[duppin]

Shea I'd like to talk about the townreads on you, but first of all what do you make of them?
