Open 812 Guardians of the Fortress - Game Over

feeling very third-wheelish atm!

Anyway, I'm flattered at the suggestions I should be in the difficult minigame. Maybe I'm being a bit twice-stung if not downright cowardly about wanting to be in the Keep.

I seriously doubt I'd be IC'd in the Gate. Maybe the Wall isn't the worst possible fate of these scenarios.

I see two alts talking about things that I don't comprehend

I think you should still come to the Keep with us

it'll be a party <3

Briar · Post Post #928 (ISO) » Mon May 10, 2021 12:27 pm

I have... well I have two but I'll manifest some more for you absinthe.

You would want Luke in your place if you did not want the Keep, yes? Or do you think there's another alternative we could go for should you not join?

Briar · Post Post #929 (ISO) » Mon May 10, 2021 12:29 pm

For what it's worth it's probably like...

I think you have a chance not to be the IC at the gate but the collective thread, I think? Thinks you are pretty towny so the mafia will have to either concede that we're all on the right track and IC you, or try to WIFOM us out on you if you go there and hope we second guess, but as it stands I think you're townier than the people you'd theoretically be with.

Or you'd be scum there and I'd maim you, but let's not jump to conclusions.

I think if Absinthe came to the keep we somehow all remained at the keep the collective suffering would be intense and memorable.

absinthe · Post Post #931 (ISO) » Mon May 10, 2021 12:32 pm

Luke would be my choice of the uncommitted players.

I'm going to give it a few hours for serious objections and then vote keep unless convinced it's super suboptimal of me. I guess the main objection would be that I wouldn't be around very long to weigh in on the rest of the mini-games.

Could I get a further clarification about this

Unless it outs either of your identities

One of you I'm certain of, the other not so much

I refuse this reality.

I don't think it's suboptimal and I'm fine with it personally because like... even if it is suboptimal at worst I think what happens is that one of the three of us gets shuffled somewhere else and we have to deal with it.

I live to dance.

unwnd · Post Post #936 (ISO) » Mon May 10, 2021 12:36 pm

Yeah but it was me who was pocketed? Or someone else

Briar · Post Post #937 (ISO) » Mon May 10, 2021 12:37 pm

We all love you Unwnd.

unwnd · Post Post #938 (ISO) » Mon May 10, 2021 12:37 pm

I'm going to assume that means it was me

I am way less hesitant to accept your love now

unwnd · Post Post #939 (ISO) » Mon May 10, 2021 12:38 pm

I meant more

More hesitant

Hugely so

Briar · Post Post #940 (ISO) » Mon May 10, 2021 12:38 pm

No no, you meant less!

I assume by this choice you don't townread him as much?

I think we'd certainly play a bit until we exit.

I'm definitely not going to rush it.

I don't think that's "at worst". That's at best IMO. At worst, we all three wake up in the keep day 2 and a paranoia spiral ensues.

As much as whom?

I'm having difficulty engaging readswise and my reads feel pretty stagnant though I feel like some are wrong. (To summarize, that's unwnd, absinthe, ana, luke and briar as town, dunn as null, and s_s and catboi as scumleans).

So let me try to work through the mechanics at least. If we try to put a third townread at the keep, we have a decent chance of putting 3 town in there. Say it's ana, briar, and absinthe. If we succeed, the best swap scum can do is probably putting one of those 3 into the gate. Ideally we'd put 2 scum in the wall if that's the case, which lets us have an extra townie in the wall and some WIFOM info about who we think scum would swap. I think I've talked myself into wanting a scummy player in the keep though, because if we have 3 town in the keep and 2 scum at the gate it's not great for us anyway. Especially since I TR unwnd and they're already at the wall.

Once I just decided it's wrong? Lol

Tbh I'd be pretty happy at the keep as of now so that I don't throw and can't be mislimmed, but yeah only if people decide it's better to have someone scummy there. It's also nice that it likely forces a scum swap into the keep.
