Open 781: JK9++ Game Over!

[Bingle]

Gobbles wagon was originally lead by me/maria. I got cold feet but didn't unvote and Maria/Mena lead the push on the resurgence that took him to actual L-1 instead of fake L-1. PB and FB were on wagon 2, PP was on wagon 1, Mena, Maria, Dats and I were on both.

[Blake Belladonna]

Has there been much said about Pink Ball?

His name stands out among those that I'd expect to have more of a presence based around how he's speaking in this game, but I can't actually remember any major events that I can recall actually involving him.

[skitter30]

pink ball has a lot of fluff but not much content
but i wouldn't say he's drowning the thread out either, he's just not being as impactful as he could be imo

[Blake Belladonna]

I think I might be getting thrown off by the extended Skitter30 vs Something_Smart engagement and the discussion around the SK claim.

[Blake Belladonna]

I'll have to rethink.

There's still a dissonance to the game that I don't think would naturally exist if the scumteam were all among the lower influence players. I don't have enough information to determine where exactly the dissonance is coming from at the current moment.

[Blake Belladonna]

The wagons have been mostly static for quite a few pages now.

That is definitely unnatural.

Now is that a town slip for Pb and not just a Pb thing?

+1. That's what I wanted people's opinions on.

If it's a PB thing and he's not likely to fake a townslip, it also means we can make a few assumptions about his potential scumpartners (that they're not the type to mastermind/talk mechanics in the scum PT.) I think that would slightly reduce the chance of PB scum with SS and Maria and more solidly reduce the chance of PB scum with Mena/skitter.

PB is also firmly "We should lynch gobbles". Don't think he's done much else recently.

Yeah a bunch of people were like:
Yeah we should just lynch gobbles and then the game froze

How long ago was this, roughly?

[skitter30]

Sometime yesterday till now, i would say. Felt this very strongly today

[Blake Belladonna]

How likely is it because of Menalque's absence?

[gobbledygook]

How likely is it because of Menalque's absence?

Menalque posted on the site but not in this game during that time.

[Blake Belladonna]

I suppose I'm more asking how much influence Menalque has on the game.

[gobbledygook]

gobble would you make a lolkill tonight?

How do you define a lolkill?

someone who is consensus townread or has the potential to be in the next day or so

I mean I wouldn’t kill you or Bingle. But I don’t even know how to evaluate a potentiality like the latter half of your definition implies, so my answer is maybe?

[gobbledygook]

Menalque was not really scumhunting after the SK claim, but he did pick it up a little and started pushing Lilith

[Blake Belladonna]

So your answer is yes, then.

[gobbledygook]

So your answer is yes, then.

I think everyone’s answer to that question is yes. Who doesn’t have the potential be unanimously townread? Seems like a terribly arbitrary definition.

At any rate, I can’t lolkill anyone because I can’t kill anyone. I’m not actually a serial killer. I claimed that so people get their Goodies and feel like they accomplished something with their terrible votes, while also allowing for people to scumhunt. Clearly no one wants to scumhunt which makes me suspicious of those people.

[gobbledygook]

Oh I thought you were asking about me killing someone.

[Blake Belladonna]

Okay. I think I have some grasp of the game now.

Menalque is town.
Bingle is town.
Firebringer is town.

Datisi is likely town.
Chemist1422 is likely town. I suspect he'd have more presence or at least feel more pressure in some way if he was scum. For reference, I recently co-modded a game he was scum in.

I want to say Skitter30 is town, but I don't feel comfortable locking this in yet.
MariaR is a townlean, but this read is fragile.

Something_Smart is a wildcard.

PenguinPower is a slot I am not entirely sure on. My intuition says the way he's approaching the game is scum-motivated based on my view of the game, but it's hard to tell with him.

Pink Ball is likely scum.
Lilith2013 is scum.

Gobbledygook is a claim SK.

[gobbledygook]

I’m not an SK, I’m a vanilla townie.

[Blake Belladonna]

My vote on Lilith2013 is now a legitimate scumread.

Now that I strongly suspect the current gamestate is a red herring, I think it's much more likely that the more fluffy content posters throughout the earlier stages in the game are the scum slots. Lilith in particular has a lot of fluffy questions early on in the game that aren't meant to achieve anything, and I haven't seen much evidence to show that she's making a serious attempt to solve the game like surface appearances would otherwise show.

There's also the fact that her vote hasn't changed since page 5.

[Bingle]

I suppose I'm more asking how much influence Menalque has on the game.

He's probably the biggest individual shaker and/or mover.

I'm probably the biggest source of content in that the sum of content about and produced by me is the largest, although I think objectively I've probably not said as much as Mena.

Gobbles and skitts also notable mentions.

PB/Chem/FB/Dats/you/lilith/SS/Maria/PP are all various shades of low impact with spurts of big activity. Of those, Maria, Dats and SS probably had the biggest actual game impact. (Maria's gobbles push, SS defending gobbles, Dats fight with Mena).

[Blake Belladonna]

I should be more active from this point onwards since now I can actually use my desktop again.
