Micro 1042: Meme Wars | Fin!

[bugspray]

I thought strongman goes through med/bp but still fizzles on rb

[MegAzumarill]

According to normal guidelines strongman doesn't fizzle on rb

[MegAzumarill]

this isn't normal but most likely still applies

[Save The Dragons]

couldn't there be 3 scum meaning whoever i rb'd isn't 100% clear

it was esooa though

[bugspray]

Spoiler: no way there is 3 scum, pretty sure this is a normal

Is it possible your game has any mechanically bastard roles or mechanics?

No

No

Description:

This game is designed to be newbie friendly and close in feel to the normals of 5-8 years ago. It has not been reviewed by the Normal Review Group and probably wouldn't pass a modern normal review unscathed.

The reviewers' verdict is that the game is balanced, but a little swingy (true of most closed micros, IMO), and we agreed to keep the swing because less swing = less challenge and less fun. The theme of this game has no impact or influence on the setup, mechanics and rules. e.g., typical ffery newbie flavor.

@ mod is this game normal?

[Save The Dragons]

how does that affect number of scum i can't find that on the normal wiki page

[bugspray]

a normal micro can't have 3 scum

[Val89]

I was about to come in all gung-ho about bugspray being the one to initial suggest there were 3 scum that started me thinking that way, but re-reading what I thought was the offending post (271), I think I might have misread it myself.

Regardless, despite the depiction of my read being "fucking stupid or willfully ignorant", bugspray has failed to explain why either of the two apply, and I'm pretty sure my initial feeling at to the motivation behind 113 was right on the money from the start - the misgivings I had about it, namely that I was townleaning on Three, have evaporated on confirmation that the three/pooky slot was indeed mafia. That confirmation also essentially townlocks STD as far as I am concerned.

this game is going nowhere

can we just murder someone already

VOTE: pooky i see we have a volunteer

Putting aside the wierd second/fake/what-ever-it-was vote on the Pooky wagon, this reasoning for joining the red wagon (well, the lack of, more preciesly) gives me no reason to give bugspray any credit for having been on Pookies wagon when it flipped.

Furthermore, I'm thinking that the fact you

[pooky]

and bugspray are both pushing Esooa while simulatanously throwing shade in my direction is not co-incidental

If Esooa is indeed cleared by STDs roleblock, then that's another mark in the scum!bugspray column for me.

VOTE: Bugspray

@ mod is this game normal?

All roles and modifiers are on the whitelist and NAR is in effect.

I won't call it "Normal" because it wasn't reviewed by the NRG.

[bugspray]

says me, but like considering how this is not normal i think it's possible there's three this game

Reconsidering the possibility of strongman
Would probably be one shot and almost definitely have targeted pav.
Pav could you say your result but not your target?

why would it target pav and since when are you mindmelding with scum?

[MegAzumarill]

What role is pav if they aren't scum?

[MegAzumarill]

And what would happen if that role targeted scum

[MegAzumarill]

And why would you waste a limited shot kill on anything else

[bugspray]

then why is prism dead?

[MegAzumarill]

And what would happen if that role targeted scum

remember this is assuming scum is strongman

[MegAzumarill]

then why is prism dead?

That's my point

Prism would be alive if strongman decided to use their shot.

Ergo Esooa is conf!town

[MegAzumarill]

That said there still could be a strongman, but they almost certainly didn't use their shot on Prism.

My lim pool for today is dwlee99, bugspray, and Pavowski and you can't convince me to lim outside of there without a red check.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
