Imperium what is your read on Despair Night?

~Spiffy

nacho doesn't have a read on Despair Night right now

hectic that was nacho and he is sorry because yes you've been doing that

[Imperium]

Oh stepping out of the sidelines for a minute because this was one of nacho's concerns the other night, and I don't have any issue with the actual read because I've generally liked latixs :p but I understand Nacho's concern with the reasoning. What real unnecessary attention does anyone bring to themselves by admitting this though? It's not really scum indicative to camp out for the events because it's equally important for town and scum to play and win events. I guess I took Disaster's claim there as a joke rather than as an actual accusation for that reason. So how much negative attention is really brought to themselves for admitting something that most people in the game would be feeling regardless of alignment because mini games are life (until you get a penalty and then shit is real.)

But why is that alignment indicative really in this specific instance?

Idk there was a certain candidness and openness to those two posts that really made me think they were town. I would argue that scum have more incentive to join events in general (which I'll probably get more shit for) because if they are diligent they could box out town and consistently deny town the money and therefore the power. Scum wouldn't want town to catch onto this, and therefore I would expect them to be a little more self-conscious about announcing their intention to join the event if they were scum.

Clearly most people disagree with me since everyone's scum reading me for it but I've found that when I get ~vibes~ like this they are right more often than not. And Latias/Latios have improved as the game's progressed so I'm just gonna say I was right again!

~Spiffy

oh I definitely agree that scum have an incentive to try to box out town and was why I was trying to figure out if there was a way to apply marketplace strategy here; I just think that town has just as much incentive to join games.

But fair enough on vibe/candid feels!

[Latias and Latios]

How far is each of you, Nacho + Tammy?

Totally confused.

[Imperium]

Sorry 1380 is tammy. I forgot nacho is posting right now too.

@Mod: This hydra is in V/LA until Friday, collectively

[Imperium]

-Latios

27 go tammy!

[NL]

@Mod: This hydra is in V/LA until Friday, collectively

nvm MariaR actually posted.

[Latias and Latios]

Oh I'm not playing the game

I'm here for the events that's all.

Is this for the entire game or what? Will GiF be playing at all?

-Latios

btw NL has (expired on 2020-04-10 22:00:00) to respond to this before I conclude they're never playing the game on my own

-Latios

[Imperium]

@Mod: This hydra is in V/LA until Friday, collectively

so until tomorrow. good job on the slank cover!

[Black Hole Defection]

You mentioned marketplace earlier, does that mean you've played one? I was trying to figure out if here was anyway to transplant some of the marketplace strategies to this game, but I've come up empty.

I have. The strategy isn't really rocket science: keep people accountable for spending and use it investigatively.

In that case I only have one question before you pass out

Who is your favorite WWE wrestler?

-JC

Spoiler: The GOAT

I think these were the only questions for me but let me know if there were others.

Other than that I'm reclaiming my life from mafia for the day and will be back tomorrow. Sorry to DA who probably wanted more today.

[Latias and Latios]

@Mod: This hydra is in V/LA until Friday, collectively

This changes nothing

[Equitable Androids]

Either today or tmo, I plan on picking my neighbor. I think I'll need an active neighbor because I'm not as bored as I expected.

~Titus

[Imperium]

you can pick me today titus

[Black Hole Defection]

I'm chilling for just a moment reading the current pages.

It's actually an easy call to say it benefits Black Hole army to participate in war games more than Orange Star, simply because the CO Powers in Hachi's shop right now benefit Black Hole Army so much more. The Neighborhood CO Power is hot trash almost as bad as Sasha's garbage, for either side. The Vigilante CO Power will always assassinate an Orange Star CO when bought by Black Hole Army, but will only hit Black Hole Army some of the time in Orange Star's sloppy hands. And for the Mystery CO Power who really knows right? So it's just the Vigilante CO Power really.

I still don't think analysis is going to get you very far, because both sides want to do it, and some COs randomly want to do it more for reasons that were true before this battle started. It's more useful to dig into things that only one side would want to do. Like, let's keep catching Latios and Latias destroying Oozium, neh?

[Latias and Latios]

Btw those whose hands weren't revealed for Clue, y'all wanna share your cards? I had Little Mermaid, Glass Slipper, and Grandma's House

-Latios

[Black Hole Defection]

I have. The strategy isn't really rocket science: keep people accountable for spending and use it investigatively.

Elaborating on this, I don't see a clear strategy for items unless we want to direct purchases+their use collectively. This has some promise later on.

[Equitable Androids]

Neighborhood CO Power

Neighborhoods are hot trash? Is this a challenge?

~Titus

[Imperium]

Neighborhood power best power you take that back right now!

[Latias and Latios]

What's Oozium in this context?

-Latios

[Imperium]

actually second best power behind vig, but definitely not trash!

[Imperium]

oh good pops

I don't think we should blow this CO up day one. COs with weak stats have strong CO Powers, often. We don't know what side it's for, yeah, but CO Powers help more for Orange Star.

1) i don't think that Hectic getting a PR has anything to do with the strength of his powers - i think mods tailored roles to players a lil bit
2) if you think Hectic has a strong Power Role why actively speculate it in thread? why not just drop a line to your hydra partner and bring it up later if shit gets hairy?
