Open 869 | Fight for the Winter Court [Game Over!]

[Tempest]

I don’t follow the talk about quarantining faker.

[Tempest]

I was typing out an answer to this when I realized I don't actually need to give scum advice on how to play. If you think you'll be able to be reliably read as town and are comfortable with hammering, go for it.

eh it's like

if i lock in the keep and the mafia don't move me because they think whoever they have there is more likely to be townread by the town or wifom or whatever i feel like we're in good shape

but also maybe i shouldn't feel that way because of how the slaughter hour split played out or at the very least not so strongly

idk if i feel comfortable hammering,

other option for me i guess was to lurk/wallpost and eventually lock in the wall and hope to not be the one chosen to become confirmed and then be me day two and make the choice easy for the confirmed

but!

it's a bit late for that i was too excited to really want to halfplay for five days

You might be better at the keep then.

Actually, since the keep is the one where we need to find town, would it be beneficial for us to try to put the most consensus town read players in the keep? I realize that scum would need to move one in there but wouldn’t that also tie up one of their night movements making shenanigans less likely?

I'm going to eschew that entirely and engage solely in banter in order to gauge reactions.

Up your game!

[demona]

In how many games? (Not game related really. I just enjoy finding other hard to eliminate people; though I don’t think I’m that hard anymore.)

I guess in the end, the bit about locking up either room due to obvtowness or being an ic doesn’t matter too much based on who they move, and I liked some of your thoughts about yourself and how you’ll be found because they match how I feel about myself in general.

But do you also think that you are good at finding other town? Do you enjoy the pressure of being the decider in 3p? Or is your desire for where to go based mostly on you believing yourself easy to find?

What I’m quoting does sound like the latter but just wanted to make sure.

let’s see

~45 or so total games

12 as mafia

a couple trustfalls as town, the dead silence game, 2 silent stars, and slaughter hour not having traditional elims, maybe another I am currently forgetting

so approximately 25 games

i think i am sometimes okay at finding other towns, i wouldn’t really say good but i do not think i am completely terrible at it it’s just often difficult for me to trust it enough

i wouldn’t say i enjoy the pressure of being the decider in 3p, quite the opposite really but like, at the wall i guess i would always want to be the decider? because then i know the decision is in the hands of town

like it isn’t really about enjoyment or lack there of just seems best option

like in trust fall as town always want to be the one choosing who to leave with at the end

but yes my desire to go to the keep is largely based in towns finding me

[demona]

I think I’m on page three and I have no real thoughts other than liking demona’s early game and belief she’ll be easily found. But that’s because it feels a bit like me and that’s dangerous, so we’ll see.

why dangerous?

like do you think

the other players are potentially just going to ignore me and assume i am town?

or

do you think

that i have a mental database of all the things i am commonly townread for to draw upon to be townread here

which i mean, i would assumedly also dip into this as town as well

or

are you saying it would be dangerous to trust you in a vacuum

and you see similarities between us

or

?

[skitter30]

Actually i do maybe think tammy is scum >.>

[demona]

I was enjoying retirement, and wouldn't have joined, but Prism's excitement is contagious! Also, massive car issues to sort through and today was kinda stressful on that front.

I don't know if that's contributing to weirdness or not. If it is, I've played weirdly in a lot of games over the years.

who in this game

wasn't

dragged into it by Prism, exactly?

i was certainly not dragged into it;

i saw the pre-ins and that ydrasse was moderating and could not help myself

[Tempest]

It’s that it’s dangerous for me to go oh demona feels like town to me because the way she’s asserting her ability to be read as town feels very similar to how I feel about my own play and confidence that when I’m town it’s obvious and most people will find that. It’s dangerous because it’s kinda projecting and I don’t know your capabilities as scum.

It’s just the same type of dangerous when someone goes, “this person is town because they’re making the same comments I was thinking when I read the game. They’re seeing the game the same as me so they’re town.” While sometimes true it’s just an egotistical read that can throw off all your reads.

So I like your posts surrounding that because I identify with it, but that’s a dangerous slope for me to fall into so I try to hold myself in check. I’m not sure if any of that makes sense.

oh! a potentially dangerous thought process for you to have because unfamiliar

hmhm

[demona]

I lowkey kinda wish someone had lolpicked a game - it would make it easier to then figure out where *other people* should go based off of thay

I'm not sure how we're now going to crack the ice to start placing people

mm tempting me

would you be likely to like

disengage with me as mafia?

[Tempest]

I think the optimal approach here is to find all the scum day 1, then hard townread all of them, lock into the gate, and hope they make me IC for my wrong reads and then boom I turn on them

This made me laugh. Any one who makes me laugh at my screen is town right?

In general funny is town. It is known.

I dont think so, i actually think you would be easier for me to engage with as scum than some other people here

maybe unfair of me to ask but

who do you think would be difficult for you to engage?

[Tempest]

Nobody asked where I was before I got here! I love you all.

Old expectations and dumb meta is wiped clean.

[skitter30]

As scum?
I would try to avoid prism/catboi/isis

[absinthe]

I kinda wanted to townread your concerns about me last night. probably not a good idea!

[skitter30]

I did realize after i wrote that that my play could be read in that light, but eh

I read this post and a fire alarm went off in my ears.



Everyone walked out of the building to the south parking lot as the standard evacuation procedure. It's very cold today so I stood in the parking lot with my head down and my hands in my armpits while everyone else seems fine happy chatting. Then this man who works in my building said I looked really cold and convinced me to go stand in one of the buildings that is not on fire even though policywise I should be in the designated area for headcounts. He said he would tell people where I was if my name started getting asked.
Idk if this is benevolent sexism but the feeling in my toes is coming back so

I think I rolled scum with demona once and demona wasn't very confident so it might not be very dangerous anyway. Not as bad as your confidence level in scumsman maybe but less pumped than demona's towngames

[Tempest]

It took me way too long to realize that was just a description of what is happening to you right now and not a story about how you felt reading the post.

[Isis]

Coral and demona are my favorite picks for town atp.

[Isis]

wouldn’t that also tie up one of their night movements making shenanigans less likely?

Posting psycho pass spoilers is +EV +MV

[Tempest]

Can you talk about coral?

[Isis]

Oh that was in my quote queue to ask what that post means
