Good job Spiffeh!

I feel quite good about Prism being town but that's it for things I feel strongly about.

I'm kinda leaning town on mathblade for being for being so laser focused on the prism/bork thing. What do you think there?

Not sure what to think about Prism yet

MathBlade has been transparently town to me from jump and I'm not thrilled with there already seeming to be somewhat of a consensus scum read there

He's clearly not the most charismatic player itg (no offense!) and I feel that's being used to put him in the hot seat already and there is absolutely no scum motivation to start and maintain this back and forth with Prism so early on

I've only skimmed your posts but this isn't really what I thought that your approach would look like if you're scum this game which is reassuring!

I would have been happier rolling scum this game because while the bucket list you play on YOU might now have been the greatest idea there are still a lot of good targets, but if I'm forced to be town YET AGAIN, being town with the love of my life isn't the WORST thing in the world.

Playstyle it's nice to have diversity.

We're pushing you to get an artifact early and tbh I'm not even sure what that artifact does. We don't have to make a big show of paranoia because we can always go back out a townread.

Where's that respect for our scum games?

I like the passion and I like the focus even if I don't agree with the direction. Had a minor quibble a bit back that I mentioned, but I don't think that matters overmuch. So, yeah I lean town there.

For Prism, right now I feel like the approach doesn't make sense from scum? That townread on Sangres aside, which I agree looks a bit odd, though I liked them having the town read, putting them null, then coming back to a townread, so I just ignored that bit of oddity. I think that while they'd probably be frustrated with Math's approach anyway that if they were scum, there'd be a kind of pointed interaction instead of just kinda ragey frustration if that makes sense?

Mala assured me that math having a meltdown isn't alignment indicative, more that warehouse 13 is one of maths favorite shows and so math feels strongly about the flavor

But that's immaterial to me because that isn't even close to a "meltdown"


Like, you're in a game with me, GreyICE, and LLD. And while the rules specifically say a dim view will be taken on toxicity and even excessive cursing, it's like... that's what you call a meltdown?!


That doesn't even crack the top 50,000.

Ok what's your point here? This is such a dumb thing to nitpick.

Ok. I realized my error and read deeper. I think that we should look at two phases with different leaders. People good at townblocking should lead at assigning artifacts. Those good at scumhunting should lead bronzing. These are separate people. I'd defer to Tammy on the artifact (assuming she's town) and LLD (same assumption) leading the afternoon phase. It's harder to scumhunt here without pressure.

Catching up.

My point is that I feel like you're making mountains out of emotional molehills by calling that a meltdown, and that's a real real strong alarm bell to me.

So again, I ask you, what part of that post you quoted do you call a meltdown? Two mildly peeved posts, if even that level of annoyance is hardly a meltdown, but that's the word you used.

To clarify this. One thing I've noticed in the games that I've spectated is that very often the more familiarity Prism has with someone, the higher expectations I think they have, and the more kind of raking them over the coals Prism does.

This isn't always the case, but it's just a little something that I've noticed. I'm not sure that it overrides my thought that this isn't how Prism approaches this as scum holistically though.

Ffery makes more of a show of uncertainty here, your response tackles positioning which is a completely separate issue and doesn't matter.

In post 197, MathBlade wrote:I think the leashing idea is really not smart.

The only thing it does is keep things vanilla and powerless.

I am telling you elim me if you have to the plan is stupid.

Let’s assume Townread X gives an artifact and gives it to scum Y. Scum Y tells the truth we learn nothing.

Let’s assume Scumread Y gives it to Townread X. Townread truth tells we learn nothing unless scum intentionally want to force a 1v1 between those two players.

Assume it’s town and town. We learn nothing.
And assume it’s scum and scum we learn nothing.

Some artifacts will be meant to be passed I think and some kept.

Outing the plan is stupid though.
Math is likely town. I have said this before and gotten burned, so take it with a grain of salt.
