TM 2021: A normal roguelike

[Summer Nights]

also, also, also, why did you ask me my takes like... hm. i guess piggybacking off of me trying to engage w adorable to get her to say something she does like this game versus her saying she dislikes a ton of other things? the word that popped into my head was 'deflecting' though idk off of what?

[Datisi]

i think hectic is town
and i think reck is town
so their spat is t/t

if you're asking *why* i think so, i already gave some thoughts on hectic earlier and he hasn't pinged me in a bad way yet so
reck is some weird lol-gut-townread also i'm vibing with his adorable interactions

hot take doesn't necessarily have to mean "ok wow nobody's ever thought of this ever get ready to have your fuckin mind blown"
it's my way of speaking idk
like i won't just write "hectic/reck t/t" at the beginning of a post without any intro to it you feel

honestly i wasn't thinking if you were asking adorable what she likes vs what she doesn't like or whatever, i just saw you were asking a seemingly random question when you had so far offered no thoughts so i was curious to see if there is anything happening back there

[Summer Nights]

okay i can vibe with that wrt hot take

[Sirius9121]

I love this game it's so slow

[Summer Nights]

i feel more sure abt hectic right now than i do reck i guess? like all i know about reck is that he's uh... angry. that's what i've heard and i feel bad saying that LMAO but that sort of ate up my perception of him so far this game

[Datisi]

hi sirius is iv calling me scum yet?

[Summer Nights]

in my head you asking me that led me down a rabbit hole where it's like, "okay is datisi and adorable actually scum where datisi doesn't want more attention on adorable so is trying to engage me...? is it datisi is scum and knows that adorable is town and doesn't want to give her a chance to answer and flesh things out more maybe?" like my vibe check meter went Unhappy

[Datisi]

is your vibe check meter pleased by the explanation in 152?

[Summer Nights]

my other delusional theory this game so far has to do with an early sirius wagon trying to get him flustered and pushed on

[Sirius9121]

hi sirius is iv calling me scum yet?

iv isnt


gypyx is

[Summer Nights]

yes i think that's a fair explanation compared to what i jumped to

you lowkey have given me trust issues after that one game though ...

[Datisi]

my other delusional theory this game so far has to do with an early sirius wagon trying to get him flustered and pushed on

is this a theory about me or about someone else?

@sirius tell me more

pedit: :3

[Sirius9121]

my other delusional theory this game so far has to do with an early sirius wagon trying to get him flustered and pushed on

I'm easily the worst

player here

so they're trying

to make a wagon on me

NO U

[Summer Nights]

yes it was abt you trying to throw down pressure on sirius to get him like, stressed early bc he as a player like... no offense sirius i love u but i feel like you'd be one of the players at this table who is like. prone to getting scumreads thrown on you easily

but then i saw you make that post about it being a pseudo-ico vote so like.. maybe i am insane

[Summer Nights]

NO U

i don't think you're bad!!! just like... it's easy to throw scumreads on you and harder for you to shake off the suspicion?

[Sirius9121]

when I'm town I look scummy

when I'm scum i look scummy

HELL YEAH

[Datisi]

ah yes, the sirius vote

that was clear rvs, that i slapped down first post in the game, without being able to know if anyone was gonna follow me on it

and that i removed in my next post the next morning

[Summer Nights]

oh yeah

voting. i have a vote

[/unvote][/unvote]

[Summer Nights]

..

UNVOTE:

[Summer Nights]

i was about to choose violence and vote datisi but im glad i didnt i think

[DeasVail]

I like Datisi townreading me in 60. Datisi-scum would be under the impression that I'm an achievable mislynch and I could see scum being more tempted to twist it as scum tryharding off the bat (which is an easy interpretation to make). No one else had commented on my entrance and so the freshness of the take adds weight here.

i like puff so far
her being difficult and arguing about this stuff is town-indicative
our records show she's floaty and less antagonistic as scum
not a fan of the limelight

Has she actually been antagonistic?

puff puff puff
how much have you spoken to your team about reads or anything?

Strange that you would be asking this question of someone who has only just begun engaging with the game in a meaningful way.

I found then NAI thus far tbh

Ninja'd
I mean Adorable.

I do agree Reck is off tho

Adorable made a vote which looked like RVS. When I asked about it, Adorable indicated that it was based on nothing. When I applied some silly pressure because I was feeling bored, Adorable said that in fact it was based on something. The "reason" for the vote changed after Adorable was pressured on it. Dismissing it merely as NAI without further reason is not enough for me. Why is it NAI?

Gotta say the multiposting thing is going to kill me. It just feels like noise for the sake of noise and my eyes kinda glaze over as I read it. I also can't keep track of which is which, and who they're supposed to be underneath the alt, which is making that slot so much harder to read.(I also don't remember if it was just one of the public alts hyperposting or both, so that's a bad sign)
I am liking DV so far. The questions do feel like they're coming from a genuine place. I guess the term is solving? But it just feels like good reaction poking and I'm here for it.
Ari my love, why do you feel funny to me? There's this tone underneath your posts that don't quite feel genuine and more performative. Idk if it's AI, I just know unlike usual, reading your posts made my nose wrinkle up.
That's what I got for now.

this 100%

the stupid fucking open alts rule is very bad and dumb and creates more legwork for people to open a tab and have to crossreference who is saying what bc of the alts, the spamposting is ridiculous (out of the first ~100 posts nearly HALF of them are solely from ari + hectic), and the forced shtick of posting in character with images at the end of every post or whatever the hell hectic is doing is sapping my will to live

but i signed up to play team mafia, so i will play team mafia. i am just not going to engage with hectic's shtick for my own sanity. if my team wants to read it they can and fill me in. actually ill ask them to do that right now.

xof's post 100% lines up with my headspace atm so i'm feeling big town energy there

Xof-town. Reck less town but still leaning town.

[The Bulge]

I don't necessarily disagree but they ping me as unwarranted and performative.

I agree regarding Reck, he felt over the top and performative to me, hence my initial vote.

Why do you think my reaction is unwarranted though? A player is telling me they're refusing to read any of my posts due to a picture at the bottom, how would you expect me to react?

Happy Birthday btw

yea, what they said. I meant those lines from datisi feel forced. I can see the "over the top"-ness you're seeing in reck but I don't really agree with that take. I don't have a read on reck at this point.

[The Bulge]

I don't necessarily disagree but they ping me as unwarranted and performative.

hmm, is there any elaboration to this?

@hectic, links to adorable town/scum meta you're using here?

pedit: i think bulge was calling my hot take unwarranted and performative, not you/reck.

I'll leave it at that for now
