Open 774 || Purgatory — Game Over

[Wooper]

Sorry I knose this is hard

[Amrun]

I have this kind of chicken sexer kind of feeling that wooper is scum, like what he's been doing is cut from the cloth of the scumgames I've seen and not the town game.
Wooper do I only get to see you play town one time ever?

Wtf is a chicken sexer kind of feeling?

I’m terrified to ask.


Beyond that, I agree. Purely from an effort standpoint, I gave wooper the benefit of the doubt, but all his conclusions so far seem kinda basic and convenient. I mean I can see why someone would think I was buddying Elmo by simply greeting him, or whatever, but I absolutely planned to greet him before I ever picked up my role PM. So this one I see as NAI, because someone who did not know me may not know my personality in this way.

But the Homura/me thing is weak. Like why would I not, as scum, just choose not to address that? I had no reason to. I had just stated greeting tell was NAI. Pointing out a theoretical scum buddy doing it after saying greeting tell is NAI just brings negative attention to a buddy for no reason. Like I could just ... NOT?! I was just joking around and having a good time. I think trying to jam that peg into a round hole is just meh.

I want to feel like implosion is being scummy but I maybe don't? I need help.

I feel like S_S is scummy, apart from the dad joke thing. He seems to be using a site reputation basis for my scumrange instead of a personal experience basis for my scumrange, having played in two of my most sloppily played scumgames and none of my stronger performances but still stating a strong belief I can fake good shallow analysis as scum. This might be too tinfoil hat or off the rails? But a reputation basis is the bar for what optically looks good to others for how he sorts me while his personal experience would tap-in more to what he actually wants to do.

I like, scumread that more than I scumread implosion shifting to a scumread on me with this really vague skepticism notion tossed out. Please send food and money.

This is interesting. On what the part of this spectrum would you consider your performance in TM?

[popsofctown]

A chicken sexer is an very highly paid person who looks at newborn chicks and identifies which ones are males and which ones are female. Chicks have very little sexual dimorphism at birth, and there are some broad rules that can be stated about how their bodies look should look, but there are some chicks that will violate every hard and fast rule you try to come up with, so it is a very skill+talent kind of job that saves its employer lots of money on unnecessary chicken feed for economically useless males.
I hope you were worried because you thought it was a different meaning of the word "sex" and not because animal rights hit close to home for you.

[Amrun]

I mean, I do like animal rights, but that is definitely not where my brain took that. That’s much better.

[popsofctown]

I think I played neither great nor awful in Team Mafia, leaning more towards awful. I had just had to play lots of scumgames back to back and just didn't feel like I had the energy to townspew. It was also really demoralizing to play a setup that seemed like it was over if the dayplay produced like two clears.

[Amrun]

It’s also hard to play scum against like 60 players - totally get it. I won’t think of that game as representative of your meta then.

[popsofctown]

I'm only moderately below average at scum.

[implosion]

so like, my EXTREMELY WEAK poe pool right now is amrun/pops/homura. I swear i will put significant effort into looking at stuff between now and going to sleep

[implosion]

WRT Elmo I need to sort of actively anti-bias myself bc she has the kind of posting style that I sometimes scumread erroneously for style. I like 328 and 336. Calling the hydra obvtown after saying she agreed with me that the hydra would be annoying to read, and that kind of rhetoric, just isn't really a scum arc imo. I think that's a pretty strong tell.

[popsofctown]

I struggle to want to do things that would remove Elmo's posting privileges ITT

[Dannflor]

Homura glances down. Her shoes are turning to dust. Is that right? She looks up, her mouth forming an open 'O,' but no sound comes out. The dust is traveling up her legs now, disintegrating her body with it. Within seconds, Homura is replaced with a pile of ash. Ah... That may happen spontaneously sometimes. I'll fix this. Continue playing. There is a brilliant flash of light, and your vision is blinded. It clears, revealing the same dreary vista and wall of flame as before. There is a new person in the circle. Ame replaces Homura.

[implosion]

Wooper, STRQ I'd say I feel generally alright about; I don't really buy the things people were saying about Wooper, the amount of shade that he's gotten relative to the way he's played the game feels... suspect perhaps (though i haven't double checked who was throwing that shade/shrug), and eh. I like his read arc on me I like his talk about himself. It's just overall pretty alright idk.

S_S maybe I'm wrong about actually! I don't really remember why I thought he was town other than like the "glad this game is nightless" comment in the first post and yeah that's not actually strong. He could actually be scum, who's to say.

Looker I still feel pretty good about calling town. I don't really get the sense of caring about perception, both tonally and in terms of like, how he's interacting with the thread.

[popsofctown]

I kind of have been wanting to play with Ame

[implosion]

Amrun gives me a really vague sense of taking stances to take stances. Like the discussion of Wooper in 376 (maybe bad example but eh), the justification in the post with her STRQ vote, 269 is maybe a good example, the arc on Wooper feels just a bit contrived and the elmo coment feels like, like it's just a thing being thrown out there because it can be, idk. I'm confident I'm explaining this poorly and a big reason is soft PoE. I also like the wagon comp on her right now. Consider my vote spiritually on her but no need to L-1 just yet.

Unvote

Pops there's like no way in hell i'll be able to adequately explain how I feel about the slot. I guess I felt like she was obvtown in the game where I was scum that she's referenced and I'm not sure I feel that way now? But also that's terrible meta to use since I was scum in that game and it was like forever ago and I don't have any recent games period so shrug, shrug; shrug.

[Team STRQ]

Wooper why have you ignored me?

-Summer

[implosion]

i wonder what pops's cheeky comment on my previous post is going to be so i'm going to preempt it with this post!

[popsofctown]

Why was I obvtown?
pedit: I hate you

[implosion]

i don't even remember! It was like, twenty years ago.

[popsofctown]

cyanjet was the real obvtown

[Wooper]

Wooper why have you ignored me?

-Summer

just oepned thread to this - what do you feel I should have responded to from you

if I ignored you it's because there were more exciting things happening!!

[Team STRQ]

I mainly don't understand why you entered the thread with this huge frenzy of content mainly directed towards one slot

and then when other people start popping in, you start going into this weird zone of "start playing around me if you want me to talk to you" type of approach to the game, which I don't think I've ever seen you do in any game before

what's up with that

-Summer

[popsofctown]

He rolled scum, Ank

[Ame]

Hello everyone! I am Archangel Ame and I've been sent by thy Lord

Dann

to help save your souls!

Sorry about the mess *brushes off Homura dust* I assure you Homura-chan is resting peacefully above, the dust is just for show really

I'll catch up soon! In the meantime, please answer these very important questions:

• On a scale of 0 to 10, how clearly are you able to visualize images in your mind's eye? 0 being not at all (aphantasia), 10 being as clearly as you perceive images with your actual eyes.
  
• On a scale of 0 to 10, how clearly can you hear with your mind's ear? 0 being not at all, 10 being as clearly as you hear with your actual ears.

I'm sure the answers to these will help us solve the game somehow!

I kind of have been wanting to play with Ame

Wha- what are

you

doing here? Thy Lord didn't mention any other angels in purgatory. Don't tell me you fell and broke your wing

again
