Silent Star 3: Royalty

[team rocket queen]

i'm not sure i'm following ur logic sorry

it's okay. it's like, it feels like things were manufactured to me in a way. and you said that you thought infinity was preventing the game from stalling, but to me it felt like he helped it stall in a way. and then we come out of that with you and infinity pushing hopkirk, pooky pushing dunnstral, and all of you have gypyx as backup, but noone currently pushing gypyx? and also neither of the two of you seem suspicious at all of either pooky or dunnstral? and pooky isn't suspicious of hopkirk?

like skitter/infinity > hopkirk
skitter/infinity only other really viable option gypyx

pooky > dunnstral
pooky only other really viable option gypyx

things usually aren't this like, clean for town

[Infinity 324]

The gypyx thing makes sense, since he hasn't posted it makes sense that he'd be a common null read.

[team rocket queen]

The gypyx thing makes sense, since he hasn't posted it makes sense that he'd be a common null read.

i guess for the noone currently pushing him part, yeah. but how is a common null read the main backup to most of the pushing that is currently happening?

[team rocket queen]

and why didn't the pause effect anything?

Because everyone has a lot of townreads, I guess. And no one...got anything out of the pause, it didn't help advance things, so I guess people just went back to what they were doing before.

[team rocket queen]

and also neither of the two of you seem suspicious at all of either pooky

hmmmmmmmm

before the pause you said you thought pooky reminded you of scum!pooky, then you had an interaction which was basically pooky saying nothing you were saying made sense, and then you unvoted, saying pooky seemed genuine in the aforementioned interaction, and then

the pause happens, which was basically,

infinity quotes isis from early game about full vt game > jessie says it is unlikely due to plurality > pooky votes hectic and insists on unanimous votes and also vote all of the mods

and then the pushes after are as described in 2025 and pooky is a townread of yours

[Ydrasse]

im around and in a mafia mood, ama for what you want me to read over/post about before i disappear again

sorry

[Ydrasse]

i did not investigate yet because it is only in the past 20 minutes or so that the wave of serotonin that i generally get from playing this game decided it wanted to reappear but god damn am i on it now

[Infinity 324]

before the pause you said you thought pooky reminded you of scum!pooky, then you had an interaction which was basically pooky saying nothing you were saying made sense, and then you unvoted, saying pooky seemed genuine in the aforementioned interaction

Yeah I think my pooky read switch warrants a bit more explanation. 1661 and 1665 felt genuine to me because it seemed like pooky really thought my argument was bullshit. Like, if you think an accusation like that has validity and you're scum, you try to give a bit more explanation, you don't try to make a valid point seem ridiculous because that's not gonna work. Pooky does have a strong scum game so maybe they thought they'd be able to pull it off, but trying to gaslight the whole town like that seems like not a great strategy. So I decided that my point probably didn't have a ton of validity even if pooky was scum, and I didn't really have much else against them. Also, my heart wasn't really in the push, it wasn't totally there to begin with, but 1665 just pinged as town in a "let's try to work this out" kinda way I guess.

I definitely do want to ISO pooky along with MT and gloria and see if I can solidify my reads there.

[Ydrasse]

so like, i've been going back and forth between how skitter/isis have been interacting this game and like, maybe i posted this before i don't remember but there was an inherent like... issues between them that it's hard to get past for me and i can't like. yeah, i can't fathom it. between the two i'd vote skitter

uh, i kinda townread hopkirk's frustration over the last few pages? like, he seems genuinely pissed off that this game is in this really sloggish state where we're sort of all half-heartedly poking and proddinga nd doing things like voting the mod (oops). maybe i shouldn't because it's emotion but it's more that he feels defeated about it all/the gamestate than anything else and not in a scummy "oh i cannot change it at all" way because he's clearly putting in the effort but like, yeah, right now in general everyone's sort of shaking hands over reads and nodding a little bit, there's some questioning, but everyone ends up at the same place and it feels like there's a sense of either lost confusion or utter complacency here and yeah, yeah!

[Ydrasse]

VOTE: skitter

i'm actually okay with this vote going off of my previous Vibes (tm) pending more reading

[Ydrasse]

my worry with flea is that like, there is a lot of fluff and energy there that obfuscates content at times and can make it hard to sift through things. like, it's fine because it's a personality thing and you shouldn't change that or anything but like, any "obvtown" vibes before were probably based (for me) off the amount of energy fae posted.

THAT BEING SAID, my gutpings were probably from the amount of fluff stuffed in posts because content-wise flea's actually fine for now, i think. not ~locktown~ but like. leantown!

[Infinity 324]

My TR on flea was for the energy specifically directed towards finding scum. Like, in 888, fae seems very passionate about calling out TGP's hypocrisy that fae recites song lyrics to do so, which is maybe not as insanely towny as I remembered it, but it's still ++town. Generally when I see something that makes me go "wowow this person is town" I regret going back on that feeling (and potentially SRing that person later) more than I regret holding onto it. Also, the fluff actually feels +town for flea since fae seems to just be saying what comes to faer mind, if that makes sense.

[Infinity 324]

I think this thread could use more full-power skitter, if she's up to it

[Gloria Cleary]

The gypyx thing makes sense, since he hasn't posted it makes sense that he'd be a common null read.

Not really because you forgot about TGP locktowning him. That puts him at least slightly above null for me.

[Gloria Cleary]

before the pause you said you thought pooky reminded you of scum!pooky, then you had an interaction which was basically pooky saying nothing you were saying made sense, and then you unvoted, saying pooky seemed genuine in the aforementioned interaction

Interesting that you seem to be the only one that is so iffy on my slot.

[Flea The Magician]

Hopkirk, I get it, I voted you to try and get the game moving more than anything. I'd definitely hear you out on anything at this point, most of us are pretty lost.

yup

*aggressively swats all the hoppy voters from Isis' pocket, excluding Isis*

Without suggesting a counterwagon, this isn’t helpful. Who do you think we should vote for?

It wasn't meant to be. honestly I'm lost at this point. I don't want to take out lurkers as it's LHF and they might get more viable late game, like we've both done previously. If I had to, it would be Jessie right now. simply as my weakest non-lurker read and I suspect that's just because we clash in our style of play and we don't quite vibe with each other. At this stage that's the poorest reason for a vote outside of a nekkid vote. If I'm voting inside the lurkers and nulls I have, I'm rolling a D3 (which I have btw ) or using some loose reasoning between Ydrasse, Gypyx and Dunn.

TGP towncased Gypyx pretty hard, which takes me down to Dunn and Ydrasse. Honestly, I'd call that a coin flip at this point. The vibe from Ydrasse feels good, and I like Dunns defence of himself against TGP.

erm....

i need to read their content but i'm worried that like, my impressions of them are based entirely on enthusiasm rather than content?

That's fair, let me know what you find. I will happily engage with you on anything you want to discuss {](^_^)[}

dunn put an actual case together and not some 18th century she ain't drowning so she's a witch nonsense ok?

So when you were pushing me for the first elim, did you have an actual case?

So when you were pushing me for the first elim, did you have an actual case?

do you actually have a case or you just trying to imitate me?

This whole interaction is weird... These two posts both sit weirdly with me.

cuz right now it sounds like you just r pissed off I pushed you with in your opinion "nothing" so you're trying to push me with "nothing" right back and that's kind of a bad look for you if you're actually green here cuz you're just straight game throwing.

like I know I'm green, I stated pretty clearly why I thought you are red, people said nah those reasons suck pooky and we ended up elimming someone else instead.

I might be an idiot and wrong but at least I'm trying to play the game to win.

I hate these arguments >.< Everyone here knows they're green because that's how to win. Calling someone out for game throwing because they don't agree is massive AtE and it scumpings me massively :/ I'm really going to have to do the pooky ISO dance aren't I -.-;

there's nothing i like about skitter

it's like, hm, yeah there are a few things i've noted but also does this:

did i miss anything other than us trying (and failing) to vote out the mod?
i think ti's time for us to start working on wagons. i am interested in neither dunn nor pooky atm

seem like the post scum!skitter would make in a situation where she could easily just take over the game?

See I like that, it's working with the town to try and get things rolling instead of taking command and being all in peoples faces and DO THIS NOW, VOTE HERE OR DIE!

i'm townreading way too many people
[...]
i don't know how to resolve the too many townreads
[...]
pedit stop that isn't helpful
[...]

Mood.

Who is the other? any reasoning at all? vibe check fail? just don't like them?

the other is hopkirk. like the calling people scummy thing felt maybe relevant to me, the way pooky was pushing gypyx felt off, didn't like the way the game diversion happened, but all of that i have commented along the way so it feels strange to me that you're like, oh, why? when i voted when push to vote and that's all there, i guess

also, i quite like pooky. asking me that feels ... but eh

can we do hopkirk ?

*swats*

Eugh with this much on hoppy I suspose I'd better stop blind defending and actually look at him properly and confirm my townread instead of just rolling with the townread (˵¯͒〰¯͒˵)

right i was like 92% sure i actually saw that but couldn't find it when you asked so wasn't sure. yeah that too, i agree

i guess i don't have enough of a mental sample to weigh the mediation stuff. like i know for the communication things if it was the other way, like infinity rewording something gloria had said in an attempt to understand that is more likely to come from town, but infinity rewording infinity idk and the i think this is t/t i think kinda not alignment indicative but i did appreciate infinity trying to explain things to me earlier just the probability stuff and the readslist feel so much like things i do as mafia to me

there's been a few times I've had to reword something, look at our interactions. I feel it's more NAI to reword yourself in most contexts to prevent misunderstandings and provide clarifications. I'm TRing infinity at the moment

---

I know the fluff can be bad, and I really should tone it down a bit but I feel it adds more of me to the game (´⌣`ʃƪ) as do the weird kaomojis Like infinity I struggle with text so they add how I'm feeling about things and make it more readable apparently {](^_^)[}

Going to catch up on my other games, then I'll ISO someone.

that is more or less what i meant. i would think scum!skitter would be more likely to see that situation as an opportunity rather than to make the post she did make. not like, get in people's faces or 'vote here or die' but rather to just take control of the wheel. so that seemed towny to me. things since then though, idk.

this is also more or less what i meant. like had you been rewording me and trying to understand me that is far more likely to come from town, but rewording yourself i haven't found that sort of connection to exist. i haven't done extensive research on this, but i have a lot of trouble communicating effectively, both in understanding other people and being understood and this comes up in approximately every game so i have a lot of firsthand experience with it.
