Mini 2286: Legends of the Hidden Temple IV (Explorers Win!)

[Aisa]

Why does scum gamma challenge you and fur...itive then lean towards her own partner

Why not? What's the downside?

I dunno this just feels miles from what I've seen of scum!gamma

Gamma has some towny vibes and I like her turnaround on furtive
but for some reason my idea of scum!Gamma (who I don't think I've ever actually played with) is daring gambits like challenging me and furtive

[Save The Dragons]

It just seems like a lot of attention for no reason

Sure it could be a gambit but it feels like gamma was trying to solve with her challenge

[Gamma Emerald]

When I’m scum my daring plays probably come with some forethought
A key example would probably be me proccing my role on day 2 of isekai uPick

[Cephrir]

Wow 5 pages... I aint loading my laptop so ill read most of it tomorrow.

What I will say Cephy is im getting very much pocketing vibes from you. You seem to be giving no resistance to anything im doing, and low key going with it.

I agreed with you about one read

What else are you even doing for me to hypothetically resist

[Cephrir]

Am I required to have a set number of arguments per day with each player

Or am I pocketing half the player list

If so I'm very bad at it apparently

[Save The Dragons]

Flea can you elaborate on the pocketing vibes

[mastina]

Okay so in hindsight Ythan might be scum.

I was judging Ythan's towniness off of her earlier shown traits: both in terms of posts made (she was posting multiple times per rl day), and in terms of content made (her posts radiated town).

But I looked at her iso and it looks like that fell off a cliff.

Still tho, this is only a 'might' and I'd prefer to read the entire thread I've missed out on to get a better grip to tell for sure. (Also be given a chance to be shown wrong--Ythan's posting falling off a cliff

could

be because she's scum who ran out of momentum, but it could also just be...yaknow...her being busy irl? So like...I wanna give her some time to show if it's her as scum that ran out of steam or her as town who hit a rl-related wall.)

How much time though? It looks like she doesn’t care about the game since she hasn’t done anything recently in their pt as well according to Gamma.

I liked her initially too but why isn’t she even trying?

[Haschel Cedricson]

Here in the King's Storeroom the spirits of the Hidden Temple protect many treasures.

The spirits are furious, and I with them, for you all have shattered the right pot to find the key. And in doing so, you have taken out

Ythan, Temple Guard

and received another part of a Pendant of Life!



The door has opened to the Heart Room. Beware, for my remaining Temple Guards shall not let you advance.

DAY 3 BEGINS

So uh, Yume is taking a swan dive in my reads for that stunt.

[Gamma Emerald]

Tbc the only thing I’m laughing at is the wagon going thru despite Yume trying to jump ship

[furtiveglance]

I still want to vote out Gimli, is everyone else on board?

[Gamma Emerald]

I’m down

[furtiveglance]

Anyway, that flip resolves my formerly complex read on Gamma Emerald

[furtiveglance]

Maybe a bit of downtime is in order.

[Save The Dragons]

Ez game

[Cephrir]

Is it just gimli and yume and we've been wasting our time

[mastina]

Oh don't you fucking dare try to make Yume suspicious off of something she does every game.

She literally was giving me more time.

YUME.
Giving me, MASTINA.
More time.

Tell me that's a fucking scum move from Yume, I fucking dare you.

It's not; it's null-at-

worst

, and quite likely, actually solidifies her as town.

Her hopping off doesn't get her towncred; her hopping off doesn't save Ythan; her hopping off does one thing and one thing only; is her attempt to make my life easier.

[mastina]

Challenge: Silver Snakes

So says me and my spirits.

VOTE: MegAzumarill

VOTE: Mega

I can get onboard with it.
VOTE: Ythan

(Cautiously optimistic I'll be back at full strength tomorrow, feel free to mislim to your heart's content tho because *shrug*.)

UNVOTE: to give mastina time to post

UNVOTE: to give mastina time to post

why? There's no deadlines in this game and it's nightless as well

Because someone might hammer before she can be around.

and how would that matter?

And what's wrong with giving her a chance to say something?

and how would that matter?

And what's wrong with giving her a chance to say something?

nothing wrong or right with it, the premise is broken because there is no night phase

And that means you absolutely have to lim now and can't wait a day or two why again?

But whatever, get snippy because I am using common sense.

and how would that matter?

And what's wrong with giving her a chance to say something?

a) what furtive+fenrir are saying, she's likely not going to say it until tomorrow
b) she can say it anytime unless it pertains to her town!Ythan read, in which case why'd you vote there in the first place if you were going to defer to mastina anyway?

Because I am a crap player.

Then you can wait some more.

Like.

Yume's trajectory and priority here is quite clear quite consistent and quite town.

She challenged MegAzumarill + worstie, a group

you admit you think is scum-scum

(Gimli is the worstie slot), largely because I thought that team had scum particularly from Meg.
She voted MegAzumarill, the vote I wanted.
She voted Ythan, during a time I was absent.
When I indicated I was returning soon, she unvoted to give me time to post.

That is not scum-Yume; that is town-Yume.

If Yume were scum she wouldn't have voted Ythan in the first place, and even if she did, she wouldn't have unvoted Ythan when I didn't explicitly ask it of her. Her actions show a consistency in mindset and of having both determined thoughts on her own and also trying to work with me and show empathy and basically be understanding of me.

Don't you fucking DARE call an act of kindness scum-motivated.

[mastina]

(Also at this point we legit do have an autowin. Trust Nancy, trust Yume, and with me as town, we can lim literally everyone else as need be to brute force a win. Every name you add to the town list to trust, the easier the autowin is. But idk who those are since I haven't read the game, presumably there are people who have been hard-spewed-town by this flip; I'd need to actually read the game to know who those are.)

[mastina]

(My preferred challenge today tbh would actually be Ceph vs. Gimli, since the only teams with no bussing are {Aisa, Gimli}, {Flea, Gimli}, and {Flea, Aisa}. Which, while all of those are possible, does lead me to suspect that maybe--just maybe--there is a scum voting. But I've got 28 pages to read so this is mostly based on how strongly I fucking hate 1193.)

[mastina]

MegAzumarill: (7) Gamma Emerald, mastina, furtiveglance, Nancy Drew 39, Yume, Save The Dragons, Cephrir
Yume: (1) Flea The Magician
Not voting: MegAzumarill, the worst/Gimli, Ythan, Aisa

Ythan: (6) furtiveglance, Save The Dragons, Gamma Emerald, Cephrir, Yume, Nancy Drew 39
Aisa: (1) Flea The Magician,
furtiveglance: (1) mastina
Not Voting: Gimli, Ythan, Aisa

And when I say "only teams with no bussing", I mean it.

The wagons on Meg and Ythan are literally identical in names, the only difference is because it was 6 to lim instead of 7 I wasn't on the second wagon. It's otherwise the exact same, just in different order.
Gamma's on both.
furtive's on both.
Nancy's on both.
Yume's on both.
StD's on both.
Cephrir's on both.

{Flea the Magician, Gimli, Aisa} are the only 3 to be on neither scum elimination.

I think that we should probably purge those three first tbh.

Imo Gamma town (I'm not gonna tolerate her attacking Yume tho), Nancy town, furtive/StD I need to read the thread that I haven't read yet to tell (will trust others' takes until then), so that leaves the most likely busser as......

[Cephrir]

Interesting how you assumed that unvote was the only reason I could possibly have
