Micro 1090: Fruit Mafia - Vegetable Chat

Okay so if it's fine with you I would actually like to tey playing with no dostancong and mutually townreading each other and probably Skitter and make a towncore.
This is probably very risky and dumb, but I think bussing is overrated and in almost any game I've played or read I saw people scumreading others for "distancing", so I would like to avoid that kind of behavior. Also it woud be really fun to have a towncore that's made of scum

So what do you think?

Quoting for a ping

mmm ok we can try that but I think it would be more interesting for me to get bussed here and you can go long and win :>

[Aristeia]

your role is significantly stronger than mine and the player list knows me probably better than they know you

[DragonEater70]

I guess I can bus you Day 2 or Day 3 but for now let's form that towncore

[DragonEater70]

Also FYI Skitter does know me as scum and I am really afraid of getting her to ELO. Which is why I'll get her consensus townread and then strongarm her death before ELO.

[Aristeia]

ok I believe in you

[DragonEater70]

You do? Because I have no clue what I am doing (I just lost 3 scum games in a row)

[DragonEater70]

Should I switch to Datisi or keep pushing Night Shade? I was gonna vote Datisi but then I saw Skitter's vote and changed my mind.

[DragonEater70]

Okay I just want to rant that whenever I read a player's post and think to myself that it's scummy and try to develop a read from it I remember I'm scum and everyone except me and you are town and I will never be able to find scum

I'm so sad.

(but /srs for a sec: I think the only option is to stop pretending I'm scumreading people and start forcing other people into a corner where they have no choice but to be scummy, and then eliminate them. I've never done this online but I have done this IRL so it might just work.)

[DragonEater70]

Ari I'm so lonely in this scum thread, when are you coming backkkk?

Also, do you think you can come up with a reason for a vote on Night shade or even just sheep me/Skitter? I think it would be awesome to put some serious pressure on the hydra.

[Aristeia]

sorry I was busy at work

I think I could come up with a reason but I'm not confident it would be useful

[Aristeia]

You do? Because I have no clue what I am doing (I just lost 3 scum games in a row)

so you're due to win one

believing in yourself is important

I think you're doing great so far

[DragonEater70]

Oh thanks :3

I think you are also doing well.

And I really should have a look at that game thread soon. But not this minute.

[DragonEater70]

I don't think I'm doing well any longer

Seems like I backed myself into a corner with the Skitter things.

What do I dooooo

This is like my first game as real scum, ever.

[Aristeia]

mmm I'm not sure how to dig you out of this hole but let's see how it plays out don't lose hope yet

[Aristeia]

hope you feel better soon DragonEater!

some tips for when you get back;

one thing you can do to get in a "townie" mood is open up some of your older townie games and try to emulate that kind of behavior such as;

You have a pretty casual whimsical style to your posting which is pleasant to read and could work here. Don't be so self conscious of your own alignment and just interact with the thread as if you were town trying to solve the puzzle with the rest of them.

some key things to keep in mind:

- they don't know anything, don't be alarmed if pushed or if they're right - everyone's just guessing nobody has all the answers for sure
- it's just a silly party game - even if you get eliminated it's not a big deal - having fun is important
- you don't need to convince people you're right - just show your thought process and hope for the best

[DragonEater70]

I like your tips, I'll try to be more whimsical.

But I thought I was already being whimsical with my dragonfruit thingy.

Also, you are pretty whimsical this game which definitely feels townie (I think).

[DragonEater70]

Okay TemporalLich replacing into that slot is basically almost a guaranteed win for us I think.

Like I know he's voting you right now but his townread on me is solid and I think I can easily convince him to TR you, and I also think Skitter is slightly pocketed by me and Datisi is slightly pocketed by you and this could really work out!

OMG we doing so well.

[Aristeia]

uh I don't think anyone townreads me ? I think it might even make sense for you to bus vote me here if you feel his reasoning is compelling.

its up to you though

[Aristeia]

I like your catchup though! you are doing a great job

[DragonEater70]

Naaah Datisi is totally going to be pocketed by you if you keep doing what you're doing. It's 100% guaranteed¹.

Thanks I will continue to do so

[DragonEater70]

Okay so I see two branching paths for us, tell me what you think (you'll probably disagree with both because you seem to really want to be bussed, but still)

Option one: I continue SRing Lich's slot and we lim them today by combining with Skitter and somehow getting 2 other people to vote with us. There's enough scummy material on the slot that this could happen, but it would be quite hard and might be incriminating.

Option two: I pocket Lich while you pocket Datisi and then we either form a towncore or just happen to SR the same slot (probably infinity or Atsi) and these guys will stop pushing us and cooperate. Then we kill someone out of Lich/Datisi/Skitter.

Which one do you want to go with?

[Aristeia]

I guess voting off lich is the easiest way? I don't think Lich will change their mind on me being scummy.

[DragonEater70]

Okay cool

[DragonEater70]

Okay I'm rereading and I think Skitter might be mislimable.
If I start pushing her would you join in?
