Newbie 2045: A Midwinter Night's Dream - End!

[unwnd]

Lunar definitely gives me the hives and I can't deny that

Nobody is gonna come and flashwagon I don't think, I'm not sure why Mikul assumed that

Do you still think Safebet is town?

[petapan]

not confidently no

[unwnd]

I guess at this point it's wait and see either way

[petapan]

people want you to guess the full team

but i only really like looking at one thing in front of me at all times, i have one decision to make today and that's who to vote

i don't like to commit to a worldview

the entire mindset of "solving the game" as they talk about it now is viscerally unappealing to me and i got suspected in a game for not playing that way

people didn't talk like that back in the day, right

[Mikul]

Why wouldn't they flash wagon. If Peter is town, both mafia are just going to vote at the same time

[petapan]

we'll see i guess.

[Mikul]

This game is stressful as fuck.

I'm near positive safebet is about to pivot off me and to lunar and that's going to reaffirm my thoughts on sb / peta.

The chances of uwnd / peta being a thing are now virtually non existent unless this is one hell of a bus.

So likely uwnd / lunar
Safe / peta

[Mikul]

And why would it be a bus. They would just push something else

So it is likely one or the other.

[Mikul]

That's actually exactly how this will play out

Lunar is going to vote peta
And sb is going to vote lunar

And I'm left with the game choice.

Fml

[petapan]

i would absolutely bus unwnd here if we were mafia together

unfortunately that's just not the case

[Mikul]

I just don't see the need to bus. There is a lack of results, sure. So a bus is a town conf as you can get.

I just feel like as scum , you both would be going for lunar or me as safe bet was already one me.

[Mikul]

If the votes come in the way that I anticipate. I will take one day to decide and vote.

[unwnd]

Oh no I absolutely agree with you, I went on a tangent of how much I dislike herosolves. I think that it's inherently selfish. People now try to play D1 like it's D5 in their head for some reason. I think people would enjoy themselves more if confbias didn't settle in, because it makes the game less organic. All of my decisions made in this game were very much in the moment, even if they lead to town death due to the circumstances I was put in.

I don't regret it though, I'd rather learn from a mistake then try to circumvent one by playing in such a solvey way. I've always had in my head (who I think the scumteam is) but it was never so predetermined that I stopped looking at pages altogether. I think what happens in solvestates (no other word to put it) is that you narrow your field of vision and start assuming behavior of other people. It creates this frustrating dynamic where compromise is no longer seen because some people are so self-absorbed, or even put that responsibility on themselves. Shit happens. It's a forever learning process and there is no perfect formula for townplay. Solves feel like people trying to optimize in such a tedious and demanding way. I scumread you and I'm going off the evidence that I feel is present and also my own self-assurance. If it's wrong? GG and I've learned for next time.

[petapan]

If the votes come in the way that I anticipate. I will take one day to decide and vote.

if the game doesn't end (lunar/safebet was my tinfoil, i named you as a partner when unwnd asked for a gun to head answer in part because i figured he'd leave you and me alive if it was right) and you do get cleared, i'd appreciate it if you gave me some time to talk because i feel like we haven't really interacted much this day phase

[Mikul]

I don't like the idea of hero solves either, or at least solving against all odds. Personally I've still yet to find a perfect way to figure out a game. I seem to read people horribly behavior wise and do better when I start poeing interactions / votes / wagons. Not that I'm saying that is particularly good on my end either. I have better luck working backwards than working forwards. So poe tends to be where I have a shot

Going to do a few of these newb games in the hope, I can find someway to play better as town. I tend to pretty well as mafia and my town game is weak.

Which sucks about this. I feel as if my choice will be the win / loss

[Mikul]

@peta I'm far from voting. This scenario here is why I wanted to play a starter game. I'm bad as town and win or lose, this type of game is exactly what I need to improve myself and trust myself more. It's ironic that I'm likely going to end up in the situation of picking. But I'm grateful regardless of outcome. It will humble me because this has been unexpectedly stressful

[unwnd]

Towngames are really unfun when a select few of people start demanding the gamestate in such a way that leaves less interpretation. This is only effective if you have blind faith or someone who happens to be town also happens to be mostly right and happens to stay alive enough/give influence to the town.

At that point for me personally, what's the point of playing if I'm not the one leading (which I hate doing)

Then you just have a ton of people trying to assume leader role and it's just frustrating man

[petapan]

well it's not day 1, it's day 3 and it's ELo and i wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to think that way and try to call the team; my mind just doesn't work like that is all

no lie i will actually be a little pissed if you're town but it is starting to feel like i was right at the start of the day

[unwnd]

Yeah it's ELo so I gotta come around to something eventually

VOTE: Safebet

Why not here then?

[unwnd]

I maintain my thought. One of you or safebet. Maybe both? I am town and if you have any decent blindfaith then I really think Mikul is just town so that would just leave it as Lunar/Safebet yeah? From your perspective

[petapan]

i'm gonna let the votes sit until no one hammers

[unwnd]

At least while you're here I'd like your perspective on Mikul. If I had one confbias read It'd definitely be him, it's actually a bit shallow but sometimes that pans out

[Mikul]

@uwnd why saftebet

Do you feel it's peta or him as well and trust his lim more than peta's ?

[unwnd]

Yeah I kinda just think it's him/peta but also I have more reason to suspect Safebet either way. I don't think it's you and I don't think you are Lunar's hypothetical partner

Iif I'm wrong on Peta then I could just go over to safebet and Lunar could still be scum lol
