Open 794 Pick Your Power X/Y (finished)

[Umlaut]

In fact, if we're claiming today, I want to hear from that group first.

I already claimed VT and so did petapan. Let's hear from the other two.

[Datisi]

zzz

how much damage can be done if we go out of order? i just wanna be done with this lmao

[Something_Smart]

That VCA does not seem solid enough to outweigh the mechanically correct claim order.

[Something_Smart]

zzz

Probably very little.

I won't be mad at people for claiming out of order, but there's a chance they are just making it harder on all of us by doing so.

[petapan]

while i don't have full context and i'm not gonna read unless this game is somehow not cruise control to a win, i did look at both flipped scum and they were both potatoes to the point where i would not be terribly surprised if their partner felt obligated to bus and wound up on both wagons as a later vote

[Something_Smart]

That makes a limited amount of sense. Though, with A50 it was a strong player replacing into a lurkslot, so they could have thought that he could turn it around, and with Gypyx, bussing him was basically throwing because it's very likely that this is now unwinnable for scum.

[Green Crayons]

Oh hello.

VT here.

[Datisi]

Gypyx (7) - Datisi, Green Crayons, iamausername, Iconeum, the worst, DrDolittle, Umlaut (Eliminated)
DrDolittle(2) - Clover Ebi, word321
Umlaut (1) - Grumpy Cat

Not Voting(2) - Something_Smart, Gypyx

hmm... s_s, do you think it's likely the last scum was off-wagon yesterday then? trying to save gypyx? was anyone legit doing that, other than word maybe?

[Something_Smart]

I think it's wordslot. So, yes.

[petapan]

That makes a limited amount of sense. Though, with A50 it was a strong player replacing into a lurkslot, so they could have thought that he could turn it around, and with Gypyx, bussing him was basically throwing because it's very likely that this is now unwinnable for scum.

sometimes momentum is inevitable and there aren't other wagons, but yes this is likely a mech lock so long as people don't get dumb

I think it's wordslot. So, yes.

it is not me but i knew subbing in i would likely be in the poe and thats fine

[Something_Smart]

Yeah. I appreciate you replacing in, but there's probably not anything you can do to save your slot.

[Datisi]

s_s, in a theoretical alternate universe where you're scum with marquis and gypyx, do you try to save him on d2?

[Something_Smart]

Probably not.

[petapan]

Yeah. I appreciate you replacing in, but there's probably not anything you can do to save your slot.

it's cool. my anticipation coming in was this was likely an easy game and i'm just here to make sure people don't get stupid and throw it. looking at that vc though i'd practically guarantee you you're looking at scum in one of the last 4 vote slots, someone like drdolittle is in prime bussing position on both votes. know my word ain't much obv but that's just my spitball guess

[Green Crayons]

A double bus seems doubtful.

[petapan]

what else were they gonna do with their vote dude

anyway you're up for claiming (just role not pick if VT)

[Datisi]

VT here.

[petapan]

oh durrrr

[Datisi]

i think so far at least five times i started to type out a game-related thought/question before reminding myself that we need to claim the mass first asdfghjkl

[iamausername]

hey guys, i’m a 1 shot watcher

pretty sure i should keep any results i have to myself until massclaim is done. don’t see how that would possibly benefit me if i was scum, and hopefully the benefits when i’m town are clear

[Something_Smart]

That seems fine to me.

word -> Crayons -> user -> Ico -> tw -> Clover -> S_S -> DDL claims results -> Grumpy -> Datisi

Ico is up next, unless Datisi thinks he should go later for qualitative reasons.

[Datisi]

i don't doubt ico being town, but i moreso think he should go later because (1) it's 11pm in the land of europe and (2) he's on his weekend v/la and is therefore maybe not gonna be here til monday morning and i am impatient

though i don't exactly wanna be making these calls because oh god what if i somehow doom the entire town with this so idk do what y'all want

[the worst]

So like:

word -> Crayons -> user -> Ico -> tw -> Clover -> S_S -> DDL claims results -> Grumpy -> Datisi?

i'm down for this

[the worst]

I think out of that group I make the least sense to eliminate first (I'd argue being off Marquis but on Gypyx is more clearing than the other way around), but I don't even care if you disagree, as long as you agree that the general plan in lieu of new evidence is to just wipe out that whole group.

you're making a vca argument but saying you would bus the scum pr but not the goon?

[petapan]

if we have to wait until monday it's going to suck. i don't care if we jump past ico but it's up to you guys
