Mini 2167: Illicit Substances Mafia (Game Over!)

[Bell]

Are you sure joyed is town.

[PlusJOYED]

Like I said, it's Yomi level 1 - surface level up in here.

[midwaybear]

So when are you going to explain this notsci scumread? Not seeing it

Was this at us?

It was explained in our ISO but it's extremely meta based.

What is he missing that he normally brings? Seems a little related to your prism read but you don’t have a scum read there.

[Prism]

Joke's on you, the games you modded I was at 7/8 years straight of playing, and my effort definitely peaked in 2017/early 2018.

In contrast...I've barely played the last two years!

[morph the cat]

Ffery can you just tell me what it is because I really have no idea

There has been one defining thing about our interactions in games since I can remember. That has been your paranoia about me and confessions that you can't read me so you just hope scum-me doesn't take you into elo.

When was the last time we played together and you put out a set of townreads in the early game that didn't have some sort footnote about how you were going to play around me?

This post and the one directly after it, midway.

[PlusJOYED]

I also resent that LAMIST comment.

If anything I’m just LAM.

i just don't see a difference between LAMIST and LAM. I don't think LAM is real, you either project a scumlean or townlean when doing so; it's never neutral. But I liked everything you've said after the first few posts A LOT. I think we'll get along but im hesitant to townbin you just yet since it might just be that I like your playstyle, since that's what I aspire to be one day so there is potential for me to be deeply pocketed by scum!april, so I'm gonna intentionally view you as null for now, same with remilla but in that case substitute me being a touhou fan over me likeing their playstyle

Look at me I’m so town is me trying to force people to see me as town.

I don’t care one way or another right now if people see me as town, but they best know I’m ready to throw some hands if need be.

I think that was LAMIST intro but you had townie effort page 17 to back it up

[Prism]

Also, don't worry. I have no intention of losing this game. Like I said, interpreting my opening as very apathetic is a mistake. My attitude was "If I'm not going to be useful any other way..."

Oh, I did that on purpose. I feel I mentioned that. I wanted to draw people at me to see if they’d react towards me strictly on personality like I said they did to SS.

[Bell]

Can everyone slow down and tell me what they think.

[Something_Smart]

same with remilla but in that case substitute me being a touhou fan over me likeing their playstyle

You’ve got to be kidding me...

lol

[April Ludgate]

Where’s alisae?

Cut them some slack. It's incredibly hard to plan your entrance into the main thread when several slots you fear drew town and you didn't.

Especially when there's other posts onsite to make that are less fraught with danger at every turn.

The real reason they're afraid is because I'm holding them hostage to release those Scumsman PTs, I'm not giving up on this

P-Edit: Me

Also, Alisae's most recent site check in is concurrent with page 16 of this game....

To be fair, that’s 16 pages of games e’d have to catch up on, and e does a lot of non game related things on site. I’m willing to wait for them before really pushing them.

[PlusJOYED]

about my slot or in general?

[midwaybear]

Ok then. This might have to be a read I defer to you.

[Bell]

about my slot or in general?

In general. The signal to noise ratio is starting to hit me and I don’t want to fall behind.

[Bell]

Strongest town read

Town pings and why.

Any scum reads? Why?

Go.

1. Morph.
2. Maybe S_S he’s different. He’s coming off as honest in his last biggish post. midwaybear initial post. After that back slide.
3. Nope.

ok forming a readlist one sec town daddy

[midwaybear]

Sorry, I don’t really see the point.

[Bell]

Update:
Scum read: midwaybear.

[PlusJOYED]

my starter readlist after looking at all isos

notsci - scum if bulge flips green, green if bulge flips red

bulge - my biggest scumlean

bell - my biggest TR

morph - I have a decent TR on them

remilla - null (but i fan!)

april - null townlean for reasons earlier stated

midway - null, but I need them to explain their bulge TR. If I don't like it i may move them to scumlean

SS - I like the fact they defended me and didn't come off as a pocket to me at all but that could be done easily as either alignment. I liked what they said about prism though. Minor townlean

nacho - modlean

Prism: I liked 454 quite a bit but everything else they've said feels like fluff. Null

muffinman - null I need more from them!

mariaR - null I need more from them!

I think that's it?

The sarcasm tags not being visible doesn't make them any less presently real.

[April Ludgate]

I would like it to be noted that the dynamic between PlusJoyed and Bell is weird.

[April Ludgate]

I can’t really explain it, but look at the combination of when they’ve spoken about each other.

[Prism]

I don't think my 454 comes close to answering your (Bell's) questions without really committing myself to more than I feel in reality.

I do want to challenge the morph townread. Taking a strong scum presence is likely to be extremely important this game-you can't just sit on the backfoot. Ffery might legitimately be excited to get to play with me, but the motivational "Shine!" stuff feels a bit off to me. I definitely started off a bit more confident in Dystopia but the focused, obsessive play came much later. In Midscummer Night's Dream it never really happened at all, though it's hard to separate mine and nancy's effort because we didn't really sign. I can see why they probably liked my Dystopia play, but honestly that game is more vivid to me because I

singlehandedly lost my team the game

with my intensity.

Do they actually want me to shine or are they just saying it? I don't really know. I think the pressure for content is okay but perhaps overwrought.

[April Ludgate]

I actually have Morph as my strongest town read right now
