Alisae V Pine: Trees Apparently Make Good Treestumps

[Alisae]

Okay so, went climbing yesterday, I'm tired and sore, but Xof has major scum equity this game so I was taking an eye on her entrance and it's not impressive. It sounds like Xof, but almost like the viewpoint wasn't generated by her.

Kind of like the viewpoint was generated by committee with some help from an evil tree, actually.

Also it's super non-committal, which isn't EXACTLY outside town!Xof's range to open into this game, but it's certainly just on the edge of it, where as it lands SPECIFICALLY in the range for scum!Xof's game, abusing (as she should) her status as newly returning to mafia as a weapon to evade a lot of criticism.

The post is just not good. Tonally, it reeks of sidelining, and is phrased in a way that leaves just enough opportunity open to be corrected or deflected if needed.

Look at the following statements:

"I'm not saying she's scummy, just something about the tone is registering strangely to me."
"I don't think just Pine will use it that way, but everybody honestly could."
"I realize this really isn't all that much of real substance or anything, but this is what I'm thinking so far,"

there's more of this word optimization in there as well, but these are the clear examples where Xof espouses an opinion and then, to ensure that she isn't seen to be pushing an agenda too hard, she dilutes the opinion with a defensive statement of uncertainty.

Given Xof is mainly a survivor player, I can tell you with decent certainty that if a survivor player started talking like this, it's because they have an agenda and don't wanna be caught pushing it too hard. It's a

disarming

tactic, to get people to feel less concerned.

And I think it means she's pretty easily scum here. Pine has equity to pick her, plain and simple, because her renewal into Mafia makes her an unappetizing target to lynch early on and buys her time. Her post was not just weak, but weak with an agenda which makes me feel very nauseated towards it, and her tonality matches that of someone with something to hide.

My question is if people will have the guts to lynch her Day 1 or nah. Y'all gonna feel bad for her, or y'all wanna win this fucking game son?

Vote:Xof

YOU WILL LEAVE MY XOLELF ALONE D;

Yo Ali are you down for deciding on people who are allowed to request fruit from Pine?

[Alisae]

XOLELF VOTES
BAD
STOP

[Alisae]

Yo Ali are you down for deciding on people who are allowed to request fruit from Pine?

let me think on it my dude

[Alisae]

BTW debated on whether or not to actually claim this, but ehhhhh, fuckit, I'll take the risk.
I'm a bulletproof vigilante with a "masonry" (read: neighborhood) with Pine.
Decided to claim because neighbor with confscum, Vig I won't use, and Pine probably already guessed the bp part, so.

you use the vig on who I tell you to

[jjh927]

We need some way of determining it, and informally voting will inevitably lead to chaos

[Alisae]

Thats actually not a question mastina
If i have a vig thats claiming its 100% getting leashed

[jjh927]

Also
think I'll go back to

VOTE: Krazy

[Alisae]

Thats a superb vote my dude
Move it to firebringer

[Alisae]

I need the masons to help me decide on if who, if anyone, is going to be allowed to ask for fruit. I am thinking of letting it be chaos for a few days because who goes for it will be interesting but don’t consider this official.

[jjh927]

I don't want to

[jjh927]

Chaos is a bad idea

[Alisae]

I really want to lynch fire, not xolelf now.
The more I see Fire post the more I don’t really mind votes on him.

Pedit: Get over it Fire needs to die

[Alisae]

Also really not understanding the Krazy vote my dude.
Plenty of other active people to vote who are playing but parking on Krazy seems kinda????

[Alisae]

If you don’t want to vote Fire I can also do za waursto

[Pine]

Pine can either go for who Ali suggests or choke on the stockpile of fruit he can't give out

I’d love for you to adopt this strategy, thanks!

[jjh927]

Yes and that is why you have been giving us information to try to indicate that we can't leash this mechanic

[jjh927]

I'd rather do Fire than tw

[Alisae]

I see c:

[Pine]

Yes and that is why you have been giving us information to try to indicate that we can't leash this mechanic

Truth: this mechanic is designed to resist leashing

[jjh927]

Yeah well we're better at leashing than you are at designing anti-leashing mechanics

[Alisae]

Yes and that is why you have been giving us information to try to indicate that we can't leash this mechanic

Truth: this mechanic is designed to resist leashing

oh I’m sure I can outplay you

[popsofctown]

Having a single player ask for it then having Pine be able wifom on granting that player the fruit or throwing it away still qualifies as "leash resistant".

Pine is trying to scare us into thinking it's even more leash resistant than that, but this game went into the queue saying the only bastard mechanic was team selection, so there's little perceptible way it can be.

Chaos Chaos! Embrace the chaos!

[Alisae]

I will embrace
