DBZ: Cell Games [Over]

[Gamma Emerald]

I don't think it's good rn, I'm not into the game enough to be solid on my reads where I'd like to have conftown status to push them
but why do you ask? You keep asking that question exclusively at people under pressure, why?

[Bell]

I also think the juxtaposition between his position on Flea and his interactions with you on an emotional level is him back sliding and contradictory in a way that I'm not sure BM would do as scum.

His interaction with Nacho is pretty classic BM, almost everyone has a bad first(ish) impression of BM and engages them as such with a negative interaction it's remarkly similar to how I first engaged them the first time I met them in which we got into a spat.
The other games you've played with him you were only really tangentially engaged/weren't being actively pushed by him.

I wish I could write like this as scum. This sort of posting is what is going to ensure I never play a good scum game. How do I even begin to make up this bullshit as scum?

[Bell]

If I get a vote for who you wiggle a wand at and can make them an IC or whatever can I have a market share.
You think I'm town anyway and there are definitely players that I could drive myself insane trying to figure out that I could save myself the trouble on.

I apologize.
I will make an effort. I absolutely mean nothing by it.

1. I think you're a good player as either alignment. Have you rolled scum yet since you got back?
2. DGB scum once accurately stated I was needy for town reads as town. It was true. I like being town read I try to play like town when I'm town etc. It's a playstyle thing. But it's also a positioning check/occassional trap for players to hand me a TR too easily or fight hard against a Town player being correctly recognized as town by other town. It sort of generates information that can be useful later.

4. It's a perfectly constructed, believable, explanation that is in line with a town POV. Recognizing their own proclivities/bad posting habits and/or unproductive behaviors and then writing it out clearly and plainly when explaining themselves is very townie imo.
I even have a little meta experience with fed up BM and this is him directly recognizing some of his problem behaviors and going against them to the favor of a town win con.

It's just a very neat emotional post. It's almost tidy in its perfection.
I could also be, dead wrong!

1. Can't really answer that. Ongoings, etc. I haven't gotten scum in any of my completed games and I'm not scum here, fwiw. I think it's pretty safe to say my scumgame sucks, though. Before my hiatus in 2018ish, I got handed like 5 consecutive scumgames and got absolutely beaten to shit with it. I have a complex about it now.
4. I strongly encourage you to read that newbie I linked earlier. Can link again if you can't find it. Very short. If you want to make it even shorter, head straight to Day 3 and read the back and forth between myself and Battle Mage. Battle Mage comes from a generation of players that is absolutely capable of making that kind of post because they were much more adept in manipulating emotions and using the "town typically do this" archetype against you. (I'm looking at you, Pooky.) I'm not saying Battle Mage is scum here, but I don't think he's town for that post.

@Syr, Don't sell yourself short. You and Nacho lead by example, sometimes you have to get your second or third best because it is best for town. Sometimes that means doing things you don't understand.

@Gamma, How would you feel about being conftown? Would that be good or bad?

Bah, you're gonna make me blush. Fine. If I'm honest, I don't want to be conftown. Mechanically it doesn't mean much to me or the gamestate one way or the other so use it on someone who's low effort or is harder to read. I'm not near as hard to read as Nacho and I'm confident that you/Bell/others will figure it out fairly quickly if you haven't already. And from a personal standpoint, I'd rather not have it because I'm really fucking tired of being dead after Day 1. With the exception of FGO I've been dead by day 2 in every game I've played since I got back. Being conftown would do a boatload of nothing other than paint a target on my back. And my back hurts.

I wish I could write like this as scum. This sort of posting is what is going to ensure I never play a good scum game. How do I even begin to make up this bullshit as scum?

Okay, let's engage in a little hypothetical here. I'm dead/conftown/out of the game. You've got BM/SC townreads. Where do you go, and why?

[Gamma Emerald]

SC isn’t a townread

[Battle Mage]

i think its because people are jealous of me, don't take it to heart!

[Firebringer]

Looks like no one wants the peoples champ to lead this town.

Okay gentle arm twisting here.
Please push flea into the arena. *gentle twist*

@syrnana: got it. I’ll look at it later. Ty.

[unwnd]

Hey guys, off-mod post here

Please let me know if

1) My votecounts have errors
2) They are not made frequent enough
3) Any other general criticism you have for me

I want this game to run smoothly and for everyone to have a good time, it is very important to me

[Oil Tycoons]

SC isn’t a townread

Okay, that's my bad for misremembering what you said.

You said SC was playing similar to his scumgame. (I'm assuming you mean Nero-head). What has he done here you think specifically mirrors his scumplay?

[Oil Tycoons]

i think its because people are jealous of me, don't take it to heart!

What, in your opinion, has Gamma done in this game to disqualify him from being scummy or useless? Do you think his townread of you is legit?

[Oil Tycoons]

I don't think how Flea is responding to pressure is very townie.
If they are town, I am bad at mafia.

Why do you think that Flea is scum?

[Bell]

I read the game you linked earlier in the day phase and I can see where you’re coming from.
@oil. I’m processing it. It’s good to know that BM can project a sort of relaxed, confident demeanor as scum. There’s a lot to process because his scum game has quite a broad tool kit.

[Oil Tycoons]

Oil has pinged me so amma do my thing.

When did we start pinging you? Last time BM asked you about your read on us you were leaning town and I don't think there was much content between then and this post.

but why do you ask? You keep asking that question exclusively at people under pressure, why?

Wouldn't conftown status give you more power to push your reads, not less?

I ask because I feel like it. I'm acting like a town treestump. *sings* It's my game and I'll ask what I want to. You would ask too in my shoes.

[mastina]

VOTE: Gamma Emerald
To secure Gamma over Flea as I prefer Gamma over Flea.

[Titus]

Noraa, whose flip would have the most equity (meaning they'd solve the greatest number of slots)?

[Titus]

Same question to you mastina.
