Magical Girls UPick - Heart of Shadow (Game Over)

[Chaos Wind]

Lady Even where are your reads at right now?

Be as thorough as you can

Right now...

Frankly I don't have a lot. But of the people I've interacted with/can recall, 5 minute version so as not to get interrupted again:

LLD:

Inscrutable, but I don't like how she seems to be ducking all inquiries. I know she loves mafia, so her silence is concerning.

Cop:

Scummy in a vague kind of way; I don't like them, I want to see more. I had a better reason but I've lost it somewhere.

Sailor Senshi:

Were lurking, which is a pet peeve of mine, and also were a source of the thread blowup, but TBQH my vote here was crappy and I ought to have known better. They've defended themselves well since and I think their reactions are towny. Not going back here today unless I find a very good reason, esp given the number of hops on here. (Who else was on this? God I want the VCA tools from MU.)

Tana and Ephraim:

Are currently pinging me very hard, both for tone reasons and because they're throwing shade at me but don't actually seem to want to lynch me. I feel like they're reading me as a weak town player they can mislynch later. Also they called me "a weak scum" when my scumgame LITERALLY GOT ME TO THE FINALE OF THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. Seriously? Have clearly not done any background meta on me whatsoever and ignored my previously posted scumgame.

Cafe Stiles:

Seems towny but fluffy at a first impression. Haven't looked into deeper, should.

Groar

Croag:

Scummy, because reasons.

Katsuki:

Is being weird, but I

think

it's a town kind of weird? Overall I want to see more and would not vote here right now.

Gameplay:

... I think they're town. I don't like how they play the game, but I think they're town. They seem to be motivated more by solving than by pushing for lynches, and that's good. Dislike them keeping me as a 'reserve lynch', but w/e.

Taristra

Titus:

Giving me very mixed signals, needs solving... but is posting enough, and is already under enough pressure, that I don't want to vote them right now. Would lynch Tana over them, would lynch them over Gameplay. Don't think that Sailor Senshi are scum rn, and that's a strike against them for an easy inactive push.

RCEnigma:

Gives me experienced-player vibes, but otherwise too early to judge alignment IMO. Gun to head, town.

DrDolittle:

Barely exists. I think he's voting me? Post seemed inoffensive at the time. Let me ISO fast he's only got 10 posts. First and apparently only

serious

vote... is on me, and IMO seems a bit opportunistic now. I was at what, three votes here? Deserves some investigation/pressure.

Bitmap:

No real read, should probably go back and look at esp. given his mentions and apparently having attracted some votes? Hm.

Hidden Happiness, Chaos Wind:

are both 2p hydras with nine posts. Need to contribute more.

Gamma Emerald:

Despite their vote on me there's nothing else in their ISO I can really complain about. They're just town.

Dannfor:

Likely town; you seem to be trying to solve me, rather than immediately writing me off as scum. I could be getting pocketed, but your ISO looks decent at a skim.

I hope I'm not missing anyone; activity list has a couple other people but I think they're parts of hydrae?

@Dannfor: I'll elaborate on this if you like but this is what I have in my head rn.

@Gameplay: her best

Look through this list

They stated that DDL deserved pressure and then followed up after their read on your slot changed

-Wind

[Tana and Ephraim]

So, the slightest effort at portraying a coherent thought process from the readslist to their next post even though several other reads in that readslist sound like they make more sense as their next vote is suddenly an amazing beacon of towniness? I'm not following this at all.

this is all i got

but i don't really know what sort of reaction DDL is supposed to give to a vote

Why does he seem opportunistic, Lady Eventide?

[Dannflor]

ohp you guys got that already

[Dannflor]

I just don't know what makes DDL more deserving over Bitmap, HH, or Chaos Wind who she claimed to also not have a read on / or needed to contribute more

[Tana and Ephraim]

Like Chaos Wind singling that out as goodposting is almost worse than LE's play. Read's scumbuddyish. But I was already reading Popsofctown as the likely scumbuddy so meh.

[RCEnigma]

@RC, I'm going to ask you a series of odd-ball questions bc I think you're town and I have an odd decision to make. These questions aren't exclusive to RC. I do give more priority to townreads and strategic thinkers however.

Rank the utility of the following actions for town. Reasons not required. You may or may not factor in your own pm.

1) A cop and a vig
2) 2 roleblocks
3) 2 cops
4) A roleblock and a vig
5) 2 vigs
6) A roleblock and a cop

Was waiting on pops to do something similar to this, +1 to RC's order.

Which other reads are you talking about? I'm thinking that they wanted to continue applying pressure so jumped to DDL instead of just unvoting which is towny

-Wind

[popsofctown]

Yeah that was pretty weird. I would say it's scummy regardless of flips.

You're my buddy this game Ephraim, you just don't know it yet.

Time to shoot more bandits, I'll let any hydra partners I have take over for me while I'm gone.

pedit: p sure RC's ranking is perfect
I don't think the tradeoff on dayplay impact vs. actual mechanical optimization makes it worthwhile to post about the other 25 roles that are possibly in the setup. Clear/guilty slots -> act, can't clear slots -> holster, tweak as needed. (vigs clear slots. It's just very violent).

[RCEnigma]

Vig clears are the best kind.

[Bitmap]

I think this is going to be a town slaughter ~Ephraim

Why?

This doesn't really seem like a question that town asks.

You think I'm scum. And you're pushing for my lynch. And you simultaneously think it's going to be a town slaughter.

What the fuck?

Do you think that I'm scum or do you not? Or do you think that my scummates are so good that they can 'slaughter' town after I'm lynched D1?

This makes zero sense, and attacking me for the question makes

negative

sense.

... Y'know what,

VOTE: Tana And Ephraim

I want to hear more out of you two.

This is a bad post.

Pro Tip - If you use VOTE: tag instead of

tag to vote, your vote is less likely to be missed.

[RCEnigma]

VOTE: Bitmap for reasons.

[Tana and Ephraim]

there's so many terrible votes this game

can we just vote eventid

[Bitmap]

Pew pew.

VOTE: Lady Eventide

[RCEnigma]

Can't help but feel like sailor/Ephraim distracted everyone when bit was becoming a viable wagon.

[Gamma Emerald]

Promise Breaker

Who this

The man who was supposed to fill my life with kittens

Yeah I have no effin idea

2) 2 roleblocks
3) 2 cops
4) A roleblock and a vig
5) 2 vigs
6) A roleblock and a cop

3 definitely the strongest then probably 5 and then 1, then 2, then 4 then 6 is the weakest imo.

i'm finding it really hard to believe there's only 4 scum this game with how terrible the quality of some of these posts are

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: Bitmap for reasons.

Oh really. Why?

[Titus]

I think people are playing with emotions over logic.

Okay didn't see this. I have my reason for voting Bitmap but you weren't in that game. So what are yours?

I don't have a read one way or the other on bit outside of the direct pivot from his building wagon into the votes on sailor via sailor vs Ephraim. It implicates maybe LE but that's not as solid as the bit deflection itself.

Chaos Wind (Chemist1422 + Eragon) [X]: Hi titus as a post. Wind = Chemist.

RCEnigma [X]: How far along are you this game? Re: 821. Are you just popping in and checking what's hot? Same question to

Katuski

Dannflor [X]: dann dann dance dann @833, remains concilliatory, in 877, but now extend the courtesy to Eventide. I know you are a nice person in gameplay, but this seems a bit too much. Can you link?

popsofctown [X]: @weak scum is more cop guilty than lean scum in that context, but should be used pretty interchangeably.

Titus [X]: Compared to RC I pref 6 over 5. Cop alone is better than double vig IMO, but partially because im not confident enough to vig recklessly.

Lady Eventide (Evenstar + Lillaire)[X]: Re: 771. The only strong personal attack that was made was Eph calling Mercury a bad person. Regardless, you admitted you barely read the exchange, context matters. SS Venus notices the same in 785. T&E 865 vote doesn't make sense; even if it is interpreted as "scum will slaughter" its not vote worthy compared to things that has happened this game. Vote on me in 927 is weird. Why am I your priority?

I really don't like the vibe Evenstar is tossing. It reads scum trying to flex to showcase how good he is in front of lilaire to get out of the lynch. But by virtue of this added pressure, Evenstar is more stressed, and posts are being more absurd. Can you comment? How does having SO as hydra here impact your gameplay, you think?

gameplay506 [X]: remains town @814, literally by virtue of reading not for the sake of incriminating. "I read Dr Do's read on [titus] which i disagree", which makes sense since my town read for titus was pretty flimsy

[GuyInFreezer]

Because I'm an idiot, I forgot one crucial thing. Day 1 start post is now updated with Transformation Gauge.
