Varsoon, Yukino, PookyTheMagicalBear

Not Voting (5):

hellbooks, Elbirn

With 5 players alive, it takes 3 to decide an execution via majority.
Deadline is in (expired on 2020-07-18 15:11:58), at which point the execution will be decided via plurality.
With no clear plurality, the mafia team will privately break any ties.

[Nahdia]

Elbirn, please exit the testing chamber via the small hatch that has opened up in the middle of the room. Do not be concerned by the dark abyss below; there is at least one pillow at the bottom, strategically placed to break your plummet.

Elbirn has been executed. He was aligned with the

town

faction.

---

The test has now ended. Please wait patiently while test administrators deactivate anti-absconsion measures. Do not be concerned if the lights go out and air circulation systems go offline; this is normal. If you begin to feel hungry before test administrators retrieve you, we advise eating the participants that lost the test first.

hellbooks and Varsoon have been endgamed. They were aligned with the

town

faction.

Yukino and PookyTheMagicalBear are victorious. They were aligned with the

mafia

faction.

[Varsoon]

Cool, so I was right all along and DkB did an aligned replace-out and Pooky exploited me emotionally.
Cool cool cool.

[Varsoon]

Sorry, Elbirn.
I should have just trusted my dipshit gut.
But the DkB replace out and Pooky quickly pulling that Radiant Cowbells shit had me nope out hard.
I should've replaced out myself, because my own judgment was compromised by out of game factors.

[Nahdia]

DkKoba had to replace out of all of their games due to outside circumstances

[Varsoon]

What a fucking wash.
Scum didn't deserve this victory at all.
Town just played like shit, me most of all.

[Varsoon]

DkKoba had to replace out of all of their games due to outside circumstances

Didn't help that I pushed there hard and they immediately dipped.
Replacements ruin/compromise games regardless of circumstances.

I agree, it was really unfortunate how it looked. There are rules now in place that people can't ever discuss in thread their reasons for replacing, but this kind of thing still happens.

[Varsoon]

Page 2 reads way too self-conscious coming out of how seriously town is discussing holding people accountable.
Their response to me also sucks and, again, is way too self-conscious.
Asks Yukino for more but lets hellbrooks slide on the same page (pg3)[/spoiler]

[Varsoon]

Yeah, it really hard-influenced how I felt and made me walk away with a read I was absolutely confident on.
I literally had the scum team pinned Day 1. I had the game solved in the above.

[Varsoon]

That and then the Nash replace after that rough play from the slot into Elbirn just coasting out fucking blew ass and scum exploited that.
Ugh.
Big ugh.

[Varsoon]

If someone replaces out in any game I run, I'm just going to abandon game.

[Nahdia]

A classic case of finding reasons to doubt our own correct instincts. Happens to me all the time.

If you're gonna be running larges, I can't imagine you'll finish many games x:

[Nahdia]

I think the best policy wrt replacements is to just never ever consider them AI unless a player has an established meta of replacing as one alignment or something. There's just way too many factors to consider.

[Varsoon]

Yeah, I knooow.
I'll just have to deal with it.
I don't know.
I just hate it.
And right now I really feel awful for basically doubling down on some shit I wouldn't have if DkKoba had just stayed in slot.

[Varsoon]

Like I was so ready to execute scum on D1
Which would've cleared Raya as town for me
Which would've led me to execute on hellbooks or Yukino D2/D3
Which would've been game win
But everyone else phoned this in, it felt like.
Ugh.

[Varsoon]

At least I was right on hellbooks as town.
Hum ho.

[Varsoon]

Sorry, Elbirn.
Next time, let's be masons.
Find a game for me to queue in with you.
Ensure Pooky and DkKoba aren't in it though, 'cus, ugh, I can't deal with that right now.

[Nash]

If we manage to guess two towns, we shoot up to 90%.
My guess right now is Yukino and DkKoba

wow.

Sorry town, I wasn't able to get a feel of the game so I replaced out.

[Nash]

GG

[Varsoon]

It's just a reminder for myself:
Don't ever fall for emotional manipulation.
If someone like Pooky or RC is gonna act like my push is against THEM as a person and LIE about what my words even are, fuck them, they can get lynched every time.
And if they're town, fuck them harder, they can lose for playing that way.
I've got to trust my instincts more rather than being shackled by not wanting to hurt someone's feelings because even if I am a big softie, this is a GAME where people will exploit my kindness and that's fucked up and leaves me feeling abused.

[Errantparabola]
