Open 812 Guardians of the Fortress - Game Over

[Anastasia]

I've decided

Don't break my heart.

VOTE: Keep

[Briar]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Anastasia]

we just need absinthe now to girls party forever

[Briar]

I am excited but also mildly horrified and hoping absinthe doesn't hop in here because if that group ends up being the same /after/ the mafia change people around I am going to cry.

I'm not going to lie if that's the final keep group after shuffle I'm going to find a window and jump out.

[unwnd]

I think it's fine if you scumread me, but regardless of that feeling you'd be doing me a service by considering my perspectives.

I'm gonna try and condense my thoughts onto you because I was the one who initiated. I want to preface this that I'm not really fond of (in particular) being held to some kind of standard because that makes me boxed in. A lot of my past games were actually a cause of that effect, feeling like I had something I needed to live up to. When it came to how I interpreted Absin, I very much her enjoy her no-nonsense and getting right down to business. That's the type of mentality I can work with as I want all the pieces in front of me. I'm very obsessive in that manner and a lot of what you're seeing right now is me not being afraid of divulging on my methods. Being more open because it's something I haven't done in a good while.

I was dreading coming to my read on you however because I think your behavior is dictated to how people represent you in the thread. You came to me and said 'unwnd I really hope you're town' and I took that as a slight gesture. Then that gesture turned into..3 or 4 pages of back and forth. You didn't like my methods when it came to how I concluded on Absin and that's fine. Disagreements aren't something I'm gonna scumread someone for. Let me also further state that my read on you is not related to what I think of you. I think the way you talk about players is very dignified and I don't get the impression you enjoy slapfighting. You just go off what you believe in and then figure it out afterwards. This makes sense to me when it comes to your initial scumread on Absin, but I can't shake the feeling that you relented only because of your stated fear. It seemed like a moment where you realized your read on Absin wasn't very planned. I feel like you still hold me at this strange standard where you scumread me but still want to send me hearts and say you're upset that I liked Briar's content or whatever. How am I supposed to feel about that in terms of the game?

[Briar]

My groupsolve will rest in peace now, goodbye my sweet dream world.

Make sure you grab my hand and take me with you.

[Something_Smart]

SS feels like he's going through the motions a bit - I don't think he really believes where he is driving to.

this seems to be under the misapprehension that I'm going somewhere

I'm just enjoying the drive

[Something_Smart]

I would've liked more of a follow-up from S_S regarding if he thought you were genuine or not

Bear in mind that it is extremely to our advantage to hide our reads as much as possible.

[Anastasia]

I don't think I've ever scumread Absinthe.

You think so?

I'm in the opposite, I know that there's a slightly larger-than-normal influence from mafia, but in a game like this I thought it would be best if we all collaborated together to figure out like ~optimal~ groups if they existed.

How do you feel about what Ana did just now?

[Anastasia]

We will snack on delicious popcorn and laugh at the others as they try to solve the game <3

[Briar]

(unwnd I know that post wasn't for me but I read it and I am mulling over it right now.)

HELL YEAH.

[Briar]

Man, I'm having so much fun this game, it's nice to have the energy to actually post again.

I have never scumread Absinthe in this game.

If I want to kill someone, I will just kill them. I don't really fake nuance, I take it as a challenge when I meet resistance.

My roleplay flirting with you is different from my read of your alignment - you could say I just like bad boys?

I'm not going to tell you what your feelings are, I have trouble with my own feelings and I'm also not a psychic.

[absinthe]

right now I think a briar/anastasia/me group would get broken up during the night phase.

I'll probably have to unpack that change of heart, but I'd like to wait until morning.

Anastasia, I'm unsure about Dunn being town. I want to townread catboi but I don't think he's done anything unequivocally town. The body of work, feels town, though.

I need to think about unwnd and sift through his iso a few times.

[unwnd]

I don't think I've ever scumread Absinthe.

Maybe not overtly? But I've held a different interpretation. From what I gather you don't seem like a player who can't comprehend that you can dislike someone and still not claim a scumread. I got that impression from your posts, where you exercised caution. Then that turned into where we are now. I think I've right about said all I wanted to but I am generally confused by the variation between how you treated Absin and how you treated me

That's fair and I shouldn't hold you to some arbitrary past standard of your play, however I am only human and I have the itching feeling that you are not town here as a result.

I think it's fine if we get broken up, one of briar/absinthe will remain in the keep and that will flip town and give us a point and a scum flip to work with.

I haven't even disliked Absinthe.

I adore Absinthe actually.

[unwnd]

When I talk about dislike I mean it strictly in a mafia sense?

It's alright if you adore absin, but absin can still be scum. I feel like the way you reached conclusions on her alignment simply for baring fangs is a bit unfair, and your logic that 'she wouldn't get that mad' is foolhardy. There's no doubt in my mind that absin wouldn't claw and take every advantage possible she could in order to win the game. Mind you there is nothing I would take from her as truly mean-spirited but her intentions will always remain in the game. Your read and conclusion on her did not follow, personally

[Anastasia]

If she can fake that level of vitriol as scum pushing a townie then she is even better of a scum player than I thought.

[unwnd]

I have a lot of frustratingly null players I want to figure out however. I think the pairing of (You/Absin/Briar) definitely has one scum but that being said one of you has partners. I'd like to see what catboi has to say to my retort and go from there
