Mini Normal 2276: Around the World - Game Over!

[Crescent]

I hosted that game. As far as I know that role had never appeared there before. It was a funky design and scum kept stacking misplay after misplay. They had a single unblockable EK that two of their three players could use, had two perfect opportunities to use it, and never did.

Town also had a super gimped doctor who claimed a flavor that was on scum's safelist day 1 as town vanilla, and scum just.. Ignored it. They didn't scan him nor shoot him. They then night 2 blind shot at the one player this guy will always save if he's protection and got their kill blocked.

One of them made a bad scanner claim and then effectively wasted it, too.

Comedy of errors that team.

Also, Gamefaqs. They've done a fantastic job at running all female members of the community off. Women have to work much harder to get anything done, and are often spited for actually putting that work in. In that last Kingmaker game, I had an early scum read on someone, and a newbie basically told me the equivalent of "shut up, the men are talking."

I think I'm pretty content with a Bella claim/ potential launch.
I think I'm accepting that Corwin crumbed to his partner. The idea that he would fake crumb but not actually try and communicate with his scum partners feels like we're overthinking. And I can see Corwin on his way out realising "oh shit, I'm going to die and I've crumbed my partner, I need to fix this". Also he had questioned Ausuka's role, it would seem conspicuous if he didn't also question Bella's. I don't think it's a stretch to think he'd try and create distance with her.
Also if it were a fake crumb, why Bella specifically? Can't say it's because of her soft claim since that came after his crumb. Also if it was a fake crumb I think that suggests Corwin came in with the intention of dying early and not interacting with his partners and I don't see why Corwin would play that way.

If that was a fake crumb by Corwin, then well played to him, but I don't think it was.

Also I think Bella flipping scum clears Datisi. I don't think Datisi plays hot potato with his votes just to end up busing.

BTW I think I've decided that the hood is just town. I think Roden was probably killed for being a town read hood member and that probs suggests Corwin was the only hoodscum. I think if scum were still in the hood then they probably aren't too stressed by it. But if the hood is all town, I can see scum being anxious about there being a PT between townies that they can't see and have no influence over, hence dead Roden. So I'm pretty happy just to say Freedom and STD are both town.

Also going back I don't still don't think Bella needed to soft claim when she only had 2 votes on her. And 33 posts, most of which have little to no impact, in a game with almost 2000 posts is not great.
I'm just doing this VOTE: Bellaphant

That's E-1

[Crescent]

The Hood probably is just town yes. The concern was more about Freedom actually contributing today.

I mean I guess it

could

be possible that scum Corwin is actually capable of doing more than yelling like a maniac. He did feel entirely different from 2273 in pretty well every conceivable way.

I still don't find myself sold on this (I freely admit I'm biased by the joke of a game Corwin played in 2273), but the whole "0 posts unannounced in 32 hours " thing kinda makes the pressure feel like a matter of course. Last we saw from her it looked like she was agreeing with Gamma's reasons for voting me, but was still calling me town. Would be nice to get some deeper insight into what that post meant.

[scamper]

iactually do lowkey think dstisis scummy

i think johnnys towny

i thought bellaphant was scummy but thats until datisi decided to wagon there

VOTE: bellaphant

marci, could you explain a bit more?

no thank you

literally what do u want me to explain more
nothing theres confusing

y is johnny towny? you complained earlier about no one asking you for an explanation but now when someone did you didnt answer...

[scamper]

I have a pretty solid towncore right now

Honestly really feeling this. Std, Freedom, Crez, Scamper and Ausuka win this game for us 100% it's why this game has been on the back burner.

this is like, probably fine tbh

we need 1 more name to have a POE of 5 but i am decently all right with the ones there

[scamper]

i think bella is avoiding the thread actually

My homesite is the starmen.net forums. Way better community than GameFaqs.

This is the same thing Corwin was accused of I think? We've come full circle.

Also Gamma I've never heard of that place before. Interesting.

[Gamma Emerald]

It’s a rather niche site for a niche fandom yeah

[Crescent]

And we're talking about nothing again while waiting for an inactive at -1.

"I feel like we've been here before have we been here before?"

[Ausuka]

And if you close your eyes

[Crescent]

First you draw a circle

Then you dot the eyes

[JohnnyFarrar]

intent to hammer

We're in a good spot here. I'm not gonna overthink

[Crescent]

Eh, it's 15 minutes until Bella can be officially prodded.

[Crescent]

Ok it has now been 36 hours and 2 minutes.

There once was a man from Nantucket.

He saw a Penguin and wanted to pluck it

Then the town said **** it.

And Bella kicked the bucket.

[Ausuka]

There once was a penguin called Bella
Who did well in icy weather
But got in a bad crowd
She reaped what she sowed
And so the town laid her shroud

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

bellaphant has been prodded

[Crescent]

The lull in this game allows us to ask some of the more important questions in life, such as...

"Is it possible to keep a Penguin as a pet?"

"Do Penguins have knees?"

"Would a Cat eat a Penguin?"

etc.

[Gamma Emerald]

We await Bella to claim role
until she will, the game stands still
Currently we are in a hole

decided to write an Octarian Haiku

[Crescent]

I'm a kitty.

Meow.

[Crescent]

I'm a Kitty Cat and I'm ok, I prowl all night and I sleep all day!

(She's a Kitty Cat and she's ok. She prowls all night and she sleeps all day!)

I wonder if I could kittify more of this song?

[Gamma Emerald]

idk, I'm just glad to get the reference

[JohnnyFarrar]

I ate the fridge plums
