One day, everyone becomes you. Like they've been instantly replaced by you. No matter where they were, who they were. The clothes they were wearing are the clothes you were wearing. Civilization has died, the stratification of society has ended. It's up to you to maintain the earth you inherited, the legacy of everyone of everything is now yours. In the short term millions of you will die if you don't do something. In the long term nuclear extinction awaits. You must work with yourself to save yourself.

Perspective 1: You're on an Passenger jet. You're in the pilots seat and the copilots seat. You are the passenger. You are 30,000 feet in the air going 575 mph. You are also the air controller, but don't worry about him, he'll be fine. You however, need to do something. -Very specific- to get out of this. Think you'll make it?

Perspective 3: You're in an Australian Zoo. You're the zoo keeper. Is this your life now? Do you really want to take care of all of these creatures and create a supply chain solely to keep them alive with all their bizarre dietary restrictions? You can't let them go they'll die. You're responsible for them now. But you don't have to be. Nobody is responsible for this.

I think assigning a handful of buttons and switches to each passengerbulge we can cram into the cockpit would alleviate some of the more overwhelming parts about flying a plane. the idea is if your station beeps or blares, toggle your shit til it stops. I say we make it at least 55 realities out of 100.

as for the second perspective, I've always said drifting off into space [in a suit] would be the coolest way to go, in a very existential way, that is to say ignoring the slow painful suffocating death part.

Australia Zoo is literally my dream job, and I am actually a zookeeper so this one I feel I could get a relatively easy handle on.

you've been real floaty this game. what do you think of the discussion about you so far? how different is your typical townplay from within a townbloc vs without?

This has been 3 and a half nights with Bell. But the stories could go well beyond 1001 nights.

No shit? That's awesome.
I'm spending significantly more time trying to read people than being town read tbh. I've been inspired (corrupted) somewhat by zMuffin, this has had somewhat predictable results. Though also, Crazy weird fatigue and sleep issues these past few weeks.

As for how I feel about it? A little sad, like I'm a child in the other room while their parents argue over whether to ground me or not.

Tbh, I almost never form a real town block. My reads shift too much for that. Here it's a little different though, there are loads of confirmed town. My typical play is pretty much, look for stuff until I see something I think comes from scum and then go for them. In the mean time I just look for patterns of behavior, double check meta etc. I try to control my perspective and interpret the information I get to be more accurate than random. I'm not actually sure how well it works. It feels like it doesn't though.

was really hoping DS would give a better answer on my question about his meta on me. as it stands it was basically a dodge.

hello hello.
bulge's content this game:
Spoiler:
  • votes DS for his anger at RVS being a bit performative. i did take note of that as well!
  • i kinda liked for some reason. it's bold.
  • starts asking lots of mech questions to clarify the dethy traitor thing. personally i find mechspeccing to be where a scum thrives, but i cant deny the town perspective here. he's asking questions that scum would obviously already know the answer to.
  • his early d2 is pretty defensive, though not necessarily in a bad way? it feels strange to me that bulge would be surprised to be in PoEs in a way that i almost wanna say is towny.
  • gets much more into sorting territory by . i like this post and the posts that follow. the continual followup on questions he's asked makes the sorting look genuine.
  • i feel deep in my soul

bulge feels towny to me.

I don't have many reads right now (and maybe this will continue). I am still reading Nahdia as town, but my townread of Gamma has went away. Everyone else is null. I know this might be disappointing, but oh well.

I don't have a read on them. I barely even remember them in this game.

Why do you assume that he knew taylor was scum? That's not how traitors work normally.

I don't have solid answers on anything. I just have gutreads that I go based off of and then try to scrap together weak justification to convince others that it isn't just a gutread.
