Catboi, I don't know if you mentioned it but I looked back on the way votes went D1.

Which was

Me (The Wall) -> Briar (The Keep) -> Ana (The Keep) and then You (The Gate).

What was your reason to go into the gate if you were townreading Briar? Which I'm pretty sure you stated you were.

But wouldn't doing the Gate first mean we lose Absinthe / SS / Catboi to talk about the wall?

2 is a bigger number than 1, and between gate/wall it's better to figure out thegate and then win through the keep

Also, keep was already solved in my mind. I wanted opinions on the gate.

Luke do you want to talk about your theory from last night?

I don't have any huge insights beyond what I said in my wall of quotes.

Not really. If you don't see it, then I guess I was reading more into it then was really there :/


I think part of the idea came to me from reading Ana's iso
Spoiler:
In post 1570, Anastasia wrote:I think unwnd cares too much about self-preservation at the wall and not enough about getting the 50:50 at the gate right and that feels like a scum mindset to me.
In post 1617, Anastasia wrote:I think a large part of why I scumread Unwnd is that I feel a lot of his play this game has been driven by a desire to preserve his own life rather than to adequately solve for the game.

And that's just a product of game design. If Keep is definitely won for the town, then Scum!Unwnd can't die at the wall, if he does then his team will lose the game and it will not matter how convincing the case he makes for the gate is, that case will not matter because the game is over.

For town!unwnd however, if he is the victim of a mis-elim at the wall, it still matters a great deal that he get the correct solution for the gate, because that solution can play a large part in determining whether the town wins or loses the game.

So when I see him fustrated with the game state and not really solving for the gate, I feel he's more likely scum than town as town!him has motivations that scum!him simply can't replicate if he feels his slot is doomed.


And then when I read through Unwnd's iso, I spotted somewhere that he quoted you as

IDK. I think the frustration is real but it's not because you're frustrated town but scum in this position instead, and you're portraying it like town frustration.

p-edit: I think it's honest but I think you might be framing it a certain way.
I feel what I feel regardless of alignment. I don't think you being cautious of my takes is something that frustrates me. I like your objectiveness in this area. It's like I've mentioned before--not being given an honest shot when it comes to my logic is what tilts me the most
Help me solve Gate?


And I was like, why is Absinthe having to ask Unwnd to be doing that? Shouldn't that be the thing he is most focused on doing, but then Absinthe had to ask him.

And so, it looks like at the time that the posts were made, both you and Ana appeared to think Unwnd was not solving the Gate.

So then I read through Unwnd's iso specifically looking for it, and maybe I confirmation biased my self into it?

It just really felt to me like there was very little productivity within the sheer number of posts that he put up...
But if you don't see it :dead:

Please ignore for solving purposes, but when looking for the quotes for my last post, I found this gem:

When I asked him, I felt like I was throwing him a rope so he could pull himself out of his spin, more than wanting him to get right on solving the Gate. I'm probably sympathizing too much with the insomnia/not feeling great stuff due to being there a few weeks ago. I just remember how much it affected my play in the newbie game.

unwnd's lack of solvy stuff was bothering me. But I wonder if I'm dinging him for post/content ratio, because when I read through the day 2 start through to the Keep flip, I could see his reads and progressions in his posts.

I feel like the fact that we all just kind of bought into Briar being town and then infinity being scum really impacted the directions the hunt went until the Keep flip. It's on all of town.

What was your reason to go into the gate if you were townreading Briar? Which I'm pretty sure you stated you were.
I already explained this: I townread both people at the keep and figured me going there was unnecessary, people said they were okay with me going to the gate, I wanted to put pressure on other people to take action because I felt like we'd be able to read into people's spontaneous decisionmaking more.

Sorry, I've been around but felt like there wasn't anything for me to respond to directly and I didn't have the time and energy to reread Briar interactions today, that's my big project for tomorrow

Here is my thinking:

Lukewarm feels genuine, from what I know of unwnd they tend to convey a lot of their real emotions when they play as scum. A good portion of that, when scum, is anger as if they've been wronged in some way, which is a lot of what we've seen here

I don't think that is a worthwhile argument and falls through knowing your own experience with me directly contradicts this, but you won't say that because you only care about looking good in an argument

It's not a topic that really benefits anyone but us two. Absin can't get into my head and pry through my emotional tendencies, much like you can't. I say this because you're making a direct correlation as an indicator of me being scum, but it simply doesn't exist

And let me just say that I really hate arguing with you as both town/scum, but you have no reason to change. You're not a very dynamic player in that sense, but rest assured I'm not insulting you. It's just that you are one exact way and you know how it works. I am not like that, but that difference between us is not anything? Is your grand revelation about me being scum that I got..angry? I want to believe you respect me more than that

(Sorry I have a very busy weekend. More later.)
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!
