Micro 719: For Us [Endgame]

[Scott and Ramona]

Can confirm that we do not want true love. We have an idea of what it will turn Ramona's role into but we won't accel with such a informative and passive role. We also think it could extremely backfire if we misuse it.

7 days left. I think we should figure out the True Love thing first, and then go to lynching. That might give us some more solid information and interaction to work with. I would still like it, and this head personally could give it to Lovebirds or even Scott and Ramona, but I'm still struggling with something here.

In my role PM (without quoting), it says that I get -this certain thing- here if we are married. However, it also says in flavor text something that references marrying the second half of the flavor (my half). That second half of the flavor is a "disabled ???", so it needs to be enabled. Shaz-heads half includes "self-enabling", so he activates my role somehow. I just don't know if it's with this or not. The PM outlines one thing that changes with marriage, and the flavor text referencing marriage is throwing me off. I really want to be able to use this ability, but I don't know if we can get the nomination for it, and I don't even know if that will activate it or not.

This is a question to other players. I'd like to know if anyone else's flavor mentions marrying their hydra partner in this manner, but I"m not sure I want to dig deep for it. This doesn't need to be a roll call, and please don't say either way if you think it would give away some level of town advantage if you did confirm/deny.

[Clumsy Phoenix]

Sure thing. I've been somewhat townreading Andy so far on tone and general interactions. I like the guy though, and that biases my reads, so I've been trying to take this with a grain of salt. Maria however, had some posts that I didn't quite like for town. Up until a certain point, I was about middle of the road, with Andy leaning town and Maria leaning scum. 356 is the exact turning point for me I think.

4) I understand you gave your reasons you saying like "oh we don't need to do it as scum" is reason to get town cred it's a wifom thing and of course as scum you'd want it on yourself I think that's why you claimed you want to go for the IC angle to get the power and when you do have the power you can say "dang didn't turn us into an IC"

This is almost verbatim the conversation Shaz and I had a little before this post was made. And I'm not kidding with almost verbatim. So I feel like our reasoning and thoughts synced up, which I think is a good sign for finding town. So this has me at Town Lovebirds, not TOWNTOWNTOWN, but I'm feeling pretty good about this slot.

Gotcha. So my 3 potential nominations are down to 2 (Lovebirds and myself of course). Can't speak for Shaz head though, haven't had a chance to sync with him lately.

An odd mechanic that may serve to break this game open? I suspect it might be; given some are told they might get stuff and some do not.

[Lovebirds]

1 nominate for lovebirds means you make Andy and me happy thanks

...Everyone's isn't like that? I assumed because of our role pm, everyone would have that divided. Like the example in the game announcements, one would be the earth, the other would be the moon. Is that not the case?

Hell; we aren't even a couple.

Where is the example you are referencing?

[Clumsy Phoenix]

In the upcoming game announcements thread. Talks about siblings being a type of love, Earth and Moon being another example.

[Scott and Ramona]

Let's stop talking about our roles.

Can you quote this? I only saw mention of siblings and planets. Of which the sun or the moon are neither.

Perhaps you're thinking of the sample town role PM Alisae put in your scum PT?

It's love season. Wow! So romantic! ikr. So the uPicks should have to do with relationships and love! It doesn't have to be a couple,

I'm sure siblings love each other very much. Two people or planets or things or whatever

or anything really bound by love!

tbf I did submit a troll choices.

One of the pick that didn't get picked was NTR.

I am back from my V/LA. (Although I will have another one next weekend SORRY IT'S SUMMER WHAT DO YOU EXPECT )

Did a brief catchup, I'm planning to read more in depth in the next few days. There's one thing I'd like to mention right now though. Several people asked me about my reasons for scumreading Senpai. At least one person (morph, if not others) assumed that the BP claim and request for nominations was my only reason to scumread them. It's not, though it is a move I think scum are more likely to make.

I don't like their approach to the game in general and I don't like many of their interactions specifically. I'm planning to make a case in the near future but for now I'll list some of the posts I don't like:
129- a conclusion that doesn't quite follow from the post it responds to, and might be early discrediting of a townread
143- feels very forced and a bit too defensive in response to an early vote
147- feels like sucking up, trying to talk down their reputation to Maria, and an OMGUS-ish implicit threat (stating a reason why scum would push them)
193- sounds like trying to play the voice of reason
239- full of meta and most of it is really shallow and simplistic; also, it admits the fallibility of the meta but doesn't weaken the read accordingly
257- quoted posts don't seem particularly hard to fake as scum
353- the whole "not entirely comfortable giving it to anyone else" sounds way more informed than it should and doesn't strike me as inquisitive town who want to learn more about the mechanic but rather declarative scum who have found what they want to do and are trying to make it happen.

I don't know how you convince me this wasn't a slip. I'm open to suggestions.

Stuck my comment inside the quote somehow.

[Clumsy Phoenix]

Yeah, I misremembered "planets" as "earth and moon" from a post read once two and a half weeks ago, and that's a scum slip. I dunno, either I misremembered, or that's something Shaz or Alisae said when they were talking about the game going into signups, I don't really know and frankly don't care.

[Two Real Humans]

morph, what is it you like about lovebirds

[Two Real Humans]

wait what the fuck is the scum slip?

Also if everyone could give their read on NMS that's be great

[morph the cat]

morph, what is it you like about lovebirds

"like" is an interesting word choice.

We're at about 60-70% confidence they're town based on Andy. We're still trying to figure MariaR out.

[Two Real Humans]

Thank you?

but what actions about them actually caused the read

[Two Real Humans]

Why is it so fucking hard to talk to people
