Alisae V Pine: Trees Apparently Make Good Treestumps

[mastina]

To quote the PM I sent to Jingle:

Knowing my luck I'll be protecting scum now but Ali didn't give me a target in spite of asking to leash me so this is Alisae's fault for forgetting to follow through after I actually said I had no better ideas.

Protect: GreyICE.

Now watch it be Katsuki nightkilled. Or a mason. Or...like, literally anyone other than GreyICE.

Soyeah. I protected GreyICE last night, lacking any better ideas.
VOTE: Aristophanes

can you vote SS?

Can? Yes.
Will?

No.

I didn't get around to my more detailed reads but one of the reads I wanted to talk about was Something_Smart's slot--
Specifically.
How I don't buy into the hype.
I can

see

it.
I understand the logic behind it.
The slot is far from a townread.
But I am not convinced the slot is scum and if I had to guess would guess specifically otherwise.

You've got far better bets in the likes of Aristophanes, Krazy, Firebringer, the worst, popsofctown, with darkhorse candidates like PenguinPower and chennisden.
I'd rate SS as a darkhorse with PP and chennisden.
Aristophanes, Krazy, Firebringer, the worst, and popsofctown all have a much much higher chance of flipping scum.
Mind you I don't think the scumteam is exactly those fine and I do think that when it comes to a coherent scumteam comp Pine would select one or two of said darkhorse candidates but I am not convinced that xofelf was one of them even though I understand, follow, and get the logic why people think she was.

[Dannflor]

what's your logic on the worst specifically, mastina?

[Aristophanes]

FF, mastina, how am I still a scumread?

This is town.

Uhh... what?

[Formerfish]

what's your logic on the worst specifically, mastina?

Dann, whats FBs stance on worst?

[Formerfish]

Also, whats your stance on FB, i remember you saying it recently, but im high and dont feell like looking

[Pine]

Ali you're missing something

Awwww, we we so SURE that this was a PR crumb! Pity.

Okay! Time for a maths lesson, kiddies...

25 players, 19:6 start. You got LLD right off, that's okay, she was recruited specifically to detonate on D1. I was hoping she'd take someone down before getting taken out, but c'est la vie.

Presently 16 players (boy, you sure are dropping like flies, huh?) 11:5 - Assuming another mislynch today (nearly certain) and your vig continuing to wear a blindfold while shooting in the dark, it'll be 8:5 at D4 start. That's a pretty sweet number if you ask me. Another ML, probably another misvig, and boy howdy 5:5 is looking achievable by the end of N4.

Nah. I like you guys, and I want to see D5 actually dawn. So let's get down to business with today's first fruit (it's a doozy!)

Today's first fruit will grant the consumer a 1-shot Governor ability.

Unlike most fruit, this tasty treat is activated during the Twilight phase. It will last without spoilage until expended, or until there are 2 or fewer more town players than scum players living (AKA XYLO).

This is the image associated with the fruit: I do not know why it is so huge compared to the other offered fruit.

[Alisae]

NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO ASK FOR FRUIT

[Alisae]

I WILL REPEAT

NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO ASK FOR FRUIT

[Pine]

You know how I said there were mechanics in place to prevent leashing?

There is also a mechanic which benefits me if you ignore it.

Truth bomb.

Play the game, or the game plays YOU.

[Pine]

How about this? One time generosity.

Truth: The governor fruit cannot possibly cause the user (or anyone else) direct harm, or even act on players in any way other than governing. It can only ever govern. I gain no additional information, insight, power, tally, or any other benefit from its use, unless it is used to prevent the lynch of one of my minions.

[Titus]

I see this fruit Ali and it's tempting as fuck. VCA level tempting. I'm literally only not asking because I don't have a strong enough scumread to overrule my inevitable lynch with.

[Titus]

it'll probably be the best post restriction I've ever seen in a game. Fake or not fake tbh.

I once posted entirely in pictures.

[Alisae]

Its almost like Pine knows that Fire will want that fruit

This guy is literally the devil

[Formerfish]

it'll probably be the best post restriction I've ever seen in a game. Fake or not fake tbh.

I feel like i could probably play a decent game in youtube videos

VOTE: FF

Tonal read for now until I get into the game.

[Titus]

@Mastina, why wouldn't Pine select you and GreyIce?

You because you are an amazing scumhunter and decent scum. GreyIce because of the near wife husband/duo that would be LLD and GreyIce.

You have a Tr on titus?

[Alisae]

Please my towncore is very small
I don’t want it fighting over each other’s blood.

Pedit: Yeah

[Titus]

I'm going back to bed.

You can be stoned to death? Does that work? Your tone is so far removed from the Harry Potter game that I designed my VCA off if but tbh that was years ago.

Good night again. I'll take a more serious look here tomorrow.

@Ali, how the fuck are you TRing me?

[Alisae]

Why does it matter
