Open 774 || Purgatory — Game Over

[implosion]

Certainly we can think about it in terms of dynamics like, if ame is scum with amrun+elmo or some other pair that's unlikely to have either person get heavened, maybe she doesn't want to get heavened as strongly. But it's still a crapshoot.

[implosion]

I.e. scum perfectly possibly could have thought "this is great, we're getting Ame into heaven, that's great, only one more and we win"

or they could have thought "man, it'd be great if we could avoid heavening Ame for a phase or two, so that she can stay on earth and fuck with the town's reads from a position of authority"

there is no way to use logic to distinguish between which of these scum were thinking. For all we know they might have been ambivalent between the two!

Ame's big wall was made from the position of knowing she was going to be heavened, so that's a good place to start narrowing things down.

-Summer

A big wall made from the position of knowing that you're going to be heavened, especially from a scum player playing as craftily and thinking as deeply as Ame seems to have been, is precisely the kind of thing that we have no reason to read deeply in to...

[implosion]

That wall was, for all intents and purposes, Ame just cementing that she was going to heaven. She knew that we'd know she was scum when evaluating it about a day after she posted it.

[Team STRQ]

And does that tell you anything implo?

-Summer

[Team STRQ]

(Hint: if she made that wall post to cement getting heavened, then that says she either is confident that scum will get heavened or that she can coach them into getting heavened)

-Summer

[Team STRQ]

And in either case, scum were play with the gamestate as it was

Does this not work with a pops/looker team?

-Summer

[Team STRQ]

Were okay*

[Team STRQ]

Another worthwhile question to ask yourself

Why does wooper die by plurality on hell 1?

-Summer

[implosion]

Again I think this is waaaay less important than you seem to

[Team STRQ]

Fine. What IS important to you?

-Summer

[Looker]

Looker

(I'd still be able to appreciate this if you flipped scum)

Proper pocket; well played

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Should've went when you had the chance.

• @Team STRQ: Come harder than that, Summer
  • Ame already had all that stuff written out before this game

I think this is a much more fun version of Mafia.

[Elmo TeH AzN]

Oh look a scum vote.

[Amrun]

Welp. Not what I expected at all so I’m actually pretty happy, despite it not being ideal. I didn’t think Ame would flip red.

This gives me something to analyze with new eyes.

[Something_Smart]

is this a serious post?

Semi.

If you are very confident that Amrun is town, I will trust it and not vote Amrun if you flip town.

[popsofctown]

Okay, you've convinced me. I won't vote Amrun today.

VOTE: STRQ

You rolled town didn't you

[popsofctown]

Though Amrun randomly pushing Ame is suspect in principal? I imagine that's where some of it's coming from?

Yeah, this, it heavily fits the pattern of a scum that knows they're getting lynched this game accomplishing something before they go, and knowing that the lost town equity on their own slot doesn't matter because they are were already getting lynched this game anyway.
I wish I had a name for this pattern. Just won a scumgame by hardbussing after my slot became irredeemable and set up a partner to deepwolf that way.

VOTE: Team STRQ

[popsofctown]

That came out weird
I was going to ask for an explanation of STRQ's nonsense post but then decided I am too far gone wanting to vote them anyway in a way that makes me not care.
Summer is making no sense, probably because the idea of winning from heavening 2 scum versus reaching parity +1 on earth is being heavily discussed in a scum PT where everyone can see the numbers after each potential lynch or mislynch. From an actual townie perspective it's way too unfathomable, being smart enough to discern that requires you also to be smart enough to identify the whole scumteam basically. This setup is designed for us to hell scum and heaven town.

S_S is mimicking his town meta with a rushed vote and if he were scum with STRQ!town I think he would be too shy to see how other players re-evaluate off the Ame flip to take a strong stance like this so early in the day (even if he was aware this was an opportunity to mimic his town meta). Only I and maybe one other person had posted and iirc I didn't comment on STRQ, just anti-Amrun.

[Elmo TeH AzN]

I won't lie this game has been nothing but a shit show. From Day 1 to now. My reads are all over the place. I wish you all would have heavened me. But what can I say.

[Dannflor]

Four players are currently in prod range, with the rest of the player list about to follow. Bumping the thread instead of sending out a mass prod.

[Amrun]

I kinda forgot about this game. Coronavirus hysteria is kicking my ass at work right now. But I actually had some stuff I was meaning to do here so I’m working on that now.

[implosion]

i need to see a vote count to know what i want to do atm. don't really have the motivation to push the game forward atm either.
