Micro 1042: Meme Wars | Fin!

[Prism]

Sorry y'all but I ain't doing SHIIIIIIIIT this (real life) day see y'all tomorrow

[Prism]

VOTE: Dragons

since WHEN

since WHEN IS THIS AN ISSUE

[Prism]

sic em lads

[Prism]

who said it was an issue

I could respond to it but don't really feel up to either jokingly describing the Star Fox scene in vivid detail, saying "ur mom" and calling it a day, or really going the extra mile to push the game forward.

My heart's not really in this at the moment. I don't think anyone will hammer and the game is basically on the backburner for me right now. I will try to shift some time over and do my part but I don't anticipate that changing until probably Day 2/3, and am fine playing this one slow.

[Prism]

tempted to punish you all for being dumb

tbf last time bugspray put me at e-1 on page 1 I selfhammered and shot scum, it can work for you too if you're, uhhh

checks notes

a role that allows you to negate a vote on you and get a vengeshot off

[Prism]

Since you seem legitimately annoyed by it, meh

UNVOTE:

Pressure is good and such but I really don't mind playing slow

[Prism]

how is this playing slow

Was referring to myself and the fact I don't think you'd actually get hammered, but see above anyway

[Prism]

it's also not worth losing The Otter Oracle to a shitpost even if I'm feeling unusually lazy so ya, at some point I will want to Not Be Lazy

[Prism]

or is it a ferret

idk man animals hard

[Prism]

Somewhere, a piece of catboi just died inside at this error

[Prism]

And the rest?

I can see my vote being scum asleep at the wheel, but I think you are aware I am much more deliberate and calculating. I am willing to engage more critically if you desire.

[Prism]

It was very joking, not at all intense, and I wanted to plop down basically any vote. I did check and see that it was E-2. This probably wasn't a wise move with bugspray here, and I should have seen E-1 coming.

I again don't think you were ever in threat of being page 2 hammered with this playerlist, however.

[Prism]

Not certain, but they did it to me in Binding of Isaac.

And I immediately selfhammered.

[Prism]

Town & Town

[Prism]

I do not understand the vote there, but OK.

I have stared at a computer screen for like 9 hours now, so I am heading out to do literally anything else. I will hopefully have time for this game soonish.

[Prism]

VOTE: Meg

That post makes absolutely no sense, from not being there at the time, not commenting on if, and counting multiple times.

[Prism]

Honestly I agree with Pavowski in that you're more touchy and extremely defensive than I've ever seen you be. I considered hammering you if you ever got put to E-1, and would still probably consider it again.

Granted I also haven't seen you ever actually close to voted out so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Prism]

Who is playing on bugspray's account and is the real bugspray safe?

[Prism]

Who is playing on my account, and is the real me safe?

[Prism]

Yeah I'm pretty checked out ATM, at some point I will drag myself back to the physical pain that is playing mafia games but that day was not today

[Prism]

It was a joke that the level of thought/effort this game is a world apart from Isaac.

It isn't an unwelcome shift by any means, and was not intended to be insulting.

[Prism]

To be blunt 141 is not even close to how I play as scum, I am 100% shitposting with my brain off even in an alternative scum world.

[Prism]

Okay I should have time for this game around 9 EST

[Prism]

Aight I shifted my schedule around and have like 40 minutes let's do this

[Prism]

Sigh UNVOTE:

I would really like to scumread bugspray but like

I just ... can't picture scum drawing attention to themselves with this weirdness

clarification: This is intent to yeet the player slot esooa. I am trying to create a

LETHAL WAGON

.

??? This is not difficult to fake at all, just bugspray going aggressive.

Do you have comparable experience here that leads you to think that?

[Prism]

That turned out to be one of like three issues and I'm gonna vote you so F

[Prism]

Disagree strongly with Dragons' 101. I thought the quoted 94 feels pretty plausible in process, and extremely aggressive to be coming from scum on a wagon already taking off by itself. I don't think it has the more performative, game-progressing angle of reads like Esooa's on Meg or bugspray's on Esooa.

T->S I'd probably go Three, Dragons, bugspray, Esooa, Val89, Meg, Pavowski

Reading through this time I really hated the progressions from Pavowski. 81 was nice and proactive, and I even agreed, but proactive reads aren't limited to scum. This pass I didn't like the framing around it and that was my first issue.

Second, did not understand this:

VOTE: Three

You have my interest ratman, let's see where this goes. VOTE: Three

Pavowski was the one who started the serious vote on Dragons show. Rather abrupt switch to someone who felt similarly.

Third, did not like the unvote on bugspray. I don't think it's anything specific to bugspray, if anything I'm floored by the level of proactivity bugspray has shown because this was not at all what I expected. I'm saying that scum have an incentive to be a bit performative and aggressive and it'd surprise me if you hadn't seen that more broadly.

VOTE: Pavowski

[Prism]

I will try to be around more frequently from here, though tonight will be more spotty than I expected as I'll be at a small celebration.

[Prism]

Very short on time the next two days but will carve out time to track through Val/Pav dialogue. Role claim doesn't swing it for me in and of itself.

[Prism]

I agree with this readlist mostly aside from my inclusion which is reasonable because I haven't posted in a while. Early on I thought it could be prism+esooa because esooa's second post just sort of brigading in with prism which to me made no sense especially because of how easy it is to explain/rationalize Azu's one "weird" post that prism was attacking as coming from town.
VOTE: prism

It might be valuable information that I am familiar with Esooa from Happy Face Mafia, and these posts of hers spurred me to invite her to other games, though not this one.

It is unclear why I am the vote if Esooa is the one with the weird tag-along.

Very short on time the next two days but will carve out time to track through Val/Pav dialogue. Role claim doesn't swing it for me in and of itself.

hope you don't hurt your ass on that fence

Perhaps you missed 171. I will do you a favor and link it.

[Prism]

While this is a boy-who-cried-wolf scenario, I am blocking out an hour after work to tackle this.

[Prism]

This game gives me a headache.

I think Val gets the better of the argument with Pav, I also thought 238 was a bit overwrought. 243 is like, ~fine~ from Pav's POV but Val already explained why he's skeptical of the goodwill gestures.

249 rang kind of town but the "If I'm scum who's my partner?" is the line that sends me back to the war years.

I think I feel slightly better about Pavowski and don't townread Val despite sympathizing with his argument a bit more.

We've got two PR claims already and I'd probably just dart throw vote Dwlee whose 234 is less direct, and more showy, than I expect from them.

This is a game, it exists.

[Prism]

UNVOTE:

I don't really care if he gets an investigation off as scum honestly so sure.

[Prism]

Val's point on bugspray I think is wrong and their question of Meg totally compatible.

bugspray's 145 hypothesizes that Meg wanted to put Dragons at E-1, then saw it was hammer and decided not to. This is a judgement on Meg's 66

bugspray misses that 71 adds that Meg saw "no value" in E-1, and only catches it the second time around with 186. bugspray never defended 71.

Val is correct that there is an incompatibility in Meg's description of their E-1 claims, but there's no issue with bugspray's progression other than them missing 71 imo.

VOTE: Meg

Back on Meg I guess.

[Prism]

if they [Prism] were taking issue with Pav's defense of bugspray in 164 (it wasn't actually an unvote of bugspray, but three, but I can see Prism's intended meaning) because they consider the perfomative and agressive proactivity to be scum indicative in the case of bugspray

It's important to note that I don't think it is scum-indicative of bugspray to be aggressive and proactive.

Pav just said that he didn't see a reason for scum (in general) to be that way. It is one of the basics of the game and there is plenty of reason to be that way of scum, mainly because it is expected of town.

[Prism]

Are you that confident activity will be so AI for me?

[Prism]

sup nerd

pls solve game ty

[Prism]

Are you that confident activity will be so AI for me?

yes and if you're a wolf you probably should NK me

Strategic choices much more reliable.

[Prism]

It's fine, I've sort of accepted that I basically will never get to play scum on this site before I retire lmao, which is a shame since I'm a scum specialist

That's my only completed scumgame in 4+ years. I also got 3 half-Day 1s in last year.

[Prism]

it's simple

i throw game

you catch game

run into own endzone

trip on shoelace

scum score safety

we fumble ball they score again

gamethrow brothers

[Prism]

I've already eaten 5 sticks of glue today man you're on your own

[Prism]

(I think you should look at Meg FWIW)

[Prism]

i sure do love some sportsball, my favorite is bejeweled twist

[Prism]

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A VHS INTO THE SLOT. ITS CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I START DOING THE MOVES ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, RIDDICK. I DO EVERY MOVE AND I DO EVERY MOVE HARD. MAKIN WHOOSHING SOUNDS WHEN I SLAM DOWN SOME NECRO BASTARDS OR EVEN WHEN I MESS UP TECHNIQUE. NOT MANY CAN SAY THEY ESCAPED THE GALAXY’S MOST DANGEROUS PRISON. I CAN. I SAY IT AND I SAY IT OUTLOUD EVERYDAY TO PEOPLE IN MY COLLEGE CLASS AND ALL THEY DO IS PROVE PEOPLE IN COLLEGE CLASS CAN STILL BE IMMATURE JERKS. AND IVE LEARNED ALL THE LINES AND IVE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MYSELF AND MY APARTMENT LESS LONELY BY SHOUTING EM ALL. 2 HOURS INCLUDING WIND DOWN EVERY MORNING. THEN I LIFT

[Prism]

I literally do not feel like typing up a response to 317 on my phone lmao, sorry

Will say my current play has me likely to get apathy wagoned so I don't do that, probably do a few things to set up a few other people to faceplant

[Prism]

He mentioned something about eels and escalators in our neighborhood

[Prism]

I am completely burnt out on mafia atm and running on fumes but will again try and carve out some time today

[Prism]

basically i had a tryhard smart idea of if it's prism+esooa i start a wagon on esooa and then prism will like give useful ai info but then everyone was like `lmao what` even though esooa's iso was hot garbage (and probably still is) and then i'll be able to use this info for good shit

You literally ignored all of the content I have given this game, twice, and I'm not sure why the third time would be any different.

Can you describe why you are so interested in my reactions only to read zero of it?

This includes content on Esooa, though not a hard stance.

[Prism]

Thought I linked in that. Here's me discussing the background with Esooa, and backlinking you my stance on Pav.

[Prism]

Still fine with my vote.

Still think Three slot was town.

It's a mafia game.

[Prism]

I'll put a vote on a real wagon tomorrow I guess

Do not get lack of appetite for Meg but o k a y

[Prism]

Massive migraine and I do not want to stare at a screen today.

I saw something about Esooa meta in Happy Face; comparing the two & reaction test etc. Circumstantially extremely different game, replaced in right when I started hardshoving someone she was confident was town via meta.

Still townlean the Three/Pooky slot and will vote Val over it even though I don't scumread Val.

[Prism]

I actually skimmed earlier this morning and 180'd on Three/Pooky so iuno

[Prism]

VOTE: Pooky

YOLO

[Prism]

That's E-1

[Prism]

Eh nah let's not YOLO I skimmed Three again fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I just go back/forth on their justification & defensiveness to Dragons

UNVOTE:

[Prism]

Aight I'm on my lunch break so let's see what I can do. Not going to have much time after that.

[Prism]

End of day this entire argument between Pooky/Val is terrible. This argument isn't obviously any pairing of alignment, just dumb.

Pooky does in fact not really do/read walls. Pooky is right that Esooa is massively different this game (and I've responded as to why I don't think this is AI). Not sold on Val not doing the own research on this front and just complaining about Pooky's vague statements.

Dart throwing I think Pooky is scum for the way he's approaching Val but Three still throws me. I thought their replaceout was out of contempt for people not playing; looking further I doubt that is the case.

YOLO.

VOTE: Pooky

[Prism]

how the fuck am I at the top lmao, literally what

[Prism]

This is fair, the day I get finally get a red PM is the day I take my pants off in a Wendys. I mostly just don't want to sell my soul to a game right now, stop before it's too late and I get hooked for the long haul.

You have sold me. I still don't want to vote Val though so.

VOTE: Meg

[Prism]

Honestly his reason for townreading me isn't wrong, definitely can fake it as mafia but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Prism]

I meant you can fake this by just giving the reason

You are 100% right that I am town exactly for that reason lmao

[Prism]

aight y'all i'm done playing mafia for the day so lmao

VOTE: pooky

[Prism]

That's E-1 btw

[Prism]

believe

in URSELF NONBINARY MONARCH

[Prism]

I lied I'm back and playing mafia again because I am a masochist, will read bugspray real fast

[Prism]

Kinda down to flip the slot. General proactivity, decently nuanced suspicion of me/Esooa but has sketchy parts to it. I kind of get not wanting to play mafia but this is recent.

1. Partner accusation was weird, Esooa trying to buddy me maybe but there was nothing on my end there at all at the time.
2. Wanted content from me/Esooa. Completely ignored content from me repeatedly. ?_?

[Prism]

I lied I'm back and playing mafia again because I am a masochist, will read bugspray real fast

What's your read on me?

Zero, zip, nada.

[Prism]

My only tangible thought has been "oh she's a dirty preflipper" because I fuckin hate preflips but that's about it.

Analysis all pretty trivial to fake, 286 was your best post but the timing was awkward and I meant to ask about it. It came right after I voted Meg and I was wondering if the timing was connected. You also don't necessarily do a ton to move things forward in the post, which isn't the worst thing if there's no scumread to really press on. The hardest it goes is after Dwlee.

Realtime interaction afterwards/small analysis does nothing for me. Trivially easy to fake.

[Prism]

I don't think my way is the only right way to play, have no fear.

[Prism]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At this point I just want a nice easy game where I don't spend 20-35 hours a week grinding through an ocean of nullish, I'm definitely taking a break after all my ongoings finish up.

[Prism]

hope i join u soon m8

[Prism]

i am sad i missed this lmao

[Prism]

I thought the key to the three way was Three's reaction to Dragons' pushback.

Good game, sorry for halfassing.

[Prism]

Why was I killed? Very rare for me to be N1ed, and I was very obviously VT imo. Most scum prefer to take their chances against me, and generally they are rewarded for it.
