Mini 2331 - Touhou UPick: Anonymous Edition (Game Over)

[Yuuka Kazami]

Remind me, you bind to someone then you get a strong willed protect that permanently stays on that target as long as Kaguya is alive and you’re alive.

Then it just becomes a normal protect if kaguya dies, and the whole thing collapses if you die?

[Koishi Komeiji]

Yeah. If it was a strongMAN modifier, the fuck would I ever use that for?

I'd just sit on it forever without using it.

[Yuuka Kazami]

That’s no fun.

[Yuuka Kazami]

The idea of not handing out a strong willed not the idea of your role in general since it’s neat, imo.

[Yuuka Kazami]

Anyway, *presses skip on strongman conversation* not having that. It’s a misunderstanding on my part and that opinion is irrelevant.

Just have your jam session. I’ll be over here.
Existing in a state of neutrality and generally taking it easy.

[Sanae Kochiya]

Actually good point, Sanae what happened to the "I can't use any spellcards anymore" part when you were fullclaiming magic supremacy

It's an aspect of using philosopher's stone

[Yuuka Kazami]

To be clear though your ability did work and you did bind to them, was that an active card, is there anything in it that implies it would supersede Tenshi’s ability?

[Sanae Kochiya]

Why would you strongwill Kaguya?

[Koishi Komeiji]

Remind me, you bind to someone then you get a strong willed protect that permanently stays on that target as long as Kaguya is alive and you’re alive.

No.

I bind to somebody, which every cycle including the one it's used on it protects them as a bodyguard. NO scum roles will work on that person while I'm doing so. Except nightkill, which goes to me.

If I am dead, they get that from beyond the grave (as my phantom half) I'll be strong-willing modifier my target while they live and I am dead. (This part won't be revealed upon my initial flip but the chances for this causing major misunderstandings in role madness means that I would be insane not to just full claim it now!)

So, Kaguya is gonna be strongwilled N3 unless speedlimmed tomorrow, because I am 100% the scum kill here tonight.

It's actually part of why I was leaning towards potentially asking everyone to claim what they did N1, at least somewhat, so I could strategize with those factors in play.

[Koishi Komeiji]

Because I was trying to outguess scum and assumed they'd assume i was protecting Clown and I was town reading them at the start of N1 when I fire-and-forgot and slept the next 48 hours away.

[Sanae Kochiya]

1. Didn't you decide before eod who you bound
2. Still, why did you end up on Kaguya out of the other 8 people in the game

That makes as much sense as Kagerou's Tenshi shot honestly

[Koishi Komeiji]

To be clear though your ability did work and you did bind to them, was that an active card, is there anything in it that implies it would supersede Tenshi’s ability?

It DOES fire before other effects, it's compulsive, I can't spend a cycle NOT bound to somebody via compulsive modifier.

Kaguya, They/Them that looks like an Akiha knock-off but probably predates her character design by years idk

Things I liked

-45 and 46, a naked vote followed up with explanation the next post, but going out of your way to naked vote to make it stand out, like putting it in bold in an otherwise boring essay.
-54 and 55, while somebody would have done this eventually, initiative is there, but still making 66 to put a nice little conditional bow on the read.
-Post 339 is still my favorite post of the early game, sue me.
-Post 343 (in hindsight knowing what that reason is) to me screams "townie putting info into the thread just in case they die and the flips help people figure it out"
-Post 545, especially knowing later that the snap town read-them-for-it post is gonna happen. It was like the trailer for the big movie.
-The cheeky question -flip back about the Marisa read in 552 though. Crisp.
-906 is actually a pretty decent tl;dr of an ISO. Or rather, I find it absolutely believable that Kaguya got there from where they started.
-910 is a decent take
-the SECOND answer in 926 to the how do ISO query is actually completely in line with behavior and motive of a townie getting left in the dirt by a shitty hyper poster who is missing a keyboard so phone posts to death. Not that I know anyone who would to that.
-Knowing post 1129 exists means I'm skipping over a lot of the back-and-forth about Aya-posting because that entire section of the game I am not touching until Aya comes back, tbh?

Things I disliked

-59 to me seems to be uh, wasted post. It's the sort of mech busywork that's very surface level and doesn't actually push the game forward, really?
-548 and 549 when not followed up with a list or reason for how that was being determined and failing to answer that later still kinda sits sour with me
-I didn't really like the answer of 551, but I get that it may be "time I have to spend on the game" indicative more than anything else
-909 just feels weird.

Things I cannot Grok?

-I don't know to +town or +scum the whole "I am town" thing and then the snark in post 419 after it. So it goes here in the null callouts!
-I'm terrible at getting anything out of back and forth like the ones in 913

Overall Verdict: Town. Don't know if worth jumping on the grenade for though!

I liked their D1 play from first impression, okay?

[Yuuka Kazami]

N1: my ability didn’t work. I targeted Clownpiece.
I was likely visited by Tenshi. Based on text.

Note nobody else has claimed Tenshi has visited them, except Aya, but that turned out to be kagerou.

So, since nobody else is saying anything, Tenshi probably visited me.

I hope this helps you in this confusing world.

[Yuuka Kazami]

Has anyone else claimed they were blocked.

Or was it just me and Sanae?

Kagerou’s shot went through and they stole Aya’s camera.

[Aya Shameimaru]

Hmmmmmm

[Sanae Kochiya]

Kagerou’s shot went through and they stole Aya’s camera.

I'm trying to confirm something abt this

[Daiyousei]

touhou prodge-ect

mechchat is over my head so i don't really have anything meaningful to contribute at the moment aside from the above joke

[Koishi Komeiji]

It's okay apparently all is quiet now?

[Sanae Kochiya]

Yes, that does keep happening

[Daiyousei]

It's okay apparently all is quiet now?

it's nice of you to say this but the tiny shitgoblin in the back of my brain will not stop yelling at me that i'm not posting enough until the game is over

[Clownpiece]

I mean ball is in Aya's court I think

[Koishi Komeiji]

Yeah but we should proceed as if she's unavailable.

Or, like, is that a hard-stop for you Clownie?

[Clownpiece]

I need Aya to pass ball to proceed

[Aya Shameimaru]

Ayaya is around and thinking, sorry!
