Mini Theme 1588 - FTL: Faster Than Light - Game Over!

[Albert B. Rampage]

Yeah, do it.

[hitogoroshi]

HMMMM.

Is ABR+Venrob scumteam really this slamdunky? Is it?

Eh, I dunno. I don't know why Venrob as scum would try to deflect lynch responsibility on his scumbuddy. But I also don't understand ABR's divergent stances on Venrob and Aronis from a town perspective. He said Venrob was TOWN, but when I asked why, it suddenly changed to "Well I'm not reading Venrob D1 that's silly". It's inconsistent and strange, but a Venrob/ABR scumteam doesn't feel coherent.

rampage can be town (though idk why he felt like justifying his policy wagon on aronis by calling aronis scummy, seems unnecessary), belisarius and espresso are both pretty scummy/cringy, hito and reck, idk, they seem town so far so they can be town so far. paschendale seems somewhat town i guess.

everyone else i don't particularly care about.

(i might have skipped/skimmed pages 8-10, but thats okay)

that's fucked up

Really? I actually think it's pretty sensible to focus on reads as they happen and not try to force reads on the whole town too early - it's prone to confirmation bias. In fact, even in this game I haven't given my opinion on quite a few players; do you find that scummy?

I find it weird ABR's down to policy lynch Aronis and tries to justify it as "but he's scum", but then whitewashes the Venrob wagon by basically doing the opposite and saying, "But he's bad and gets lynched D1 all the time!"

Like, both are players with a meta that would call for a policy lynch, but in one case he goes out of his way to make one scum from his POV, and the other one is just "oh he's always like that" and I don't get why there's the distinction.

Yeah, this is what I'm grappling with.

I tend to join a couple games and feel them out, see which ones I get invested in the most. Hint: it's not this one.

what exactly are you saying here Albert

[Albert B. Rampage]

Aronis damages the town to an irreversible state, as town. His scum game may be convincing or not. Venrob just acts scummy and gets lynched a lot? There's a major difference here.

[Albert B. Rampage]

I'll put myself up for a one vs. one against Aronis. Vote for either me or him. If you choose to lynch me, I'll choose my successor based on whoever the majority wants it to be. I will then wish you luck and leave you in the hands of Aronis. Go town. I'm glad to be gone from this game early so as not to suffer through one town quickhammer after the next by the hands of Aronis, or have him claim a fake guilty, or any of his shenanigans. I simply won't be a part of this.

If you want to lynch Aronis, great, let's play some mafia. I'll get my head into the game and we'll have some fun.

[Albert B. Rampage]

I can't allow myself to get invested in a game only to have my victory ROBBED by Aronis, AGAIN.

[Albert B. Rampage]

BTW Aronis I think you're fine, I don't have any issues with you, we would probably get along in real life, I just think the best strategy here is to lynch you at all cost sooner rather than later. If you don't understand, that's okay.

[xRECKONERx]

TBF if you had that much of an issue with him you probably should've said/done something when he signed up.

[Anatole Kuragin]

Not at all, I just find it mean that he doesn't care about me

[Albert B. Rampage]

TBF if you had that much of an issue with him you probably should've said/done something when he signed up.

No, I want to play with him so I can do exactly this as town. As scum, assuming Aronis is town, I'd laugh at another easy upcoming win lol

[Jargonaut]

So you decided to ruin this game for all of us before it even started?

[Albert B. Rampage]

I decided to save this town from a tactical blunder which is to not lynch Aronis day 1.

[Espressojet]

VOTE: Aronis

Salty or not, this is a new game with new people who don't give a shit about your personal problems. Commit to the game or replace out.

[Espressojet]

I'm sorry, I meant VOTE: Albert

I'm on my phone

[Paschendale]

Or we could not play this silly game (as opposed to the regular game we are playing, which is srs bsns) and not lynch either of them.

[Espressojet]

That's what I want

[Albert B. Rampage]

It's not personal. I don't dislike the guy, I just think it would help my win condition to eliminate him.

[Espressojet]

Your

win condition?

[Albert B. Rampage]

Yeah, what about it?

[Espressojet]

Remind me what it is again?

[Albert B. Rampage]

win with the town i think let me check again

[Albert B. Rampage]

yep that's the one

[Espressojet]

Cool, I guess that means that you're the only town here since it's

your

win con

[Albert B. Rampage]

the only one that i know of

[Bella]

Aronis has requested replacement. Searching now.

[Venrob]

UNVOTE: aronis slot
Internet flickering, limited access today due to this. Just managed to get it to work, but don't know how long will last. Bad thunderstorms. Unvoting now bcuz of replace out. Hope I will be able to post more later....
