Mini Normal 2200 | Game Over

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

she is a ruthless power wolf.

i can see her shredding mena like a poor sheep :>

[Chara]

i have experienced her scumgame only once, i didn't townread her but also didn't manage to catch her.
not that i plan to use meta here.

Lucy: did you explain the process of scumreading skitter for WKing Mena, while voting Mena?

[Luca Blight]

I think Pops would have tried harder to keep her main under wraps if she were scum?

[LegoLucy]

I think I know who Day is as well but I won’t say in case I’m correct again

please no, i can't take another reveal. let's just stay in blissful ignorance.

pedit: you've always cared more about your bricks than about me. are you going to leave me for the girl with the unique hair? i know my bricks are generic, i know they are...

I like you no matter what your bricks are like Chara, what matters is the stories you and I tell together, not the actual plastic.

The girl with the unique hair doesn't have enough room on her strands to map out the highs and lows we'll click past together..

[Chara]

possibly? if she thinks she's playing to her town meta the reveal might help. plus i immediately became way more positibe toward her upon knowing who she is, even knowing that's pure bias.

She defended him in a way that I didn't see her doing as a pair. People have pointed out she'd probably bus and I agree.

I've scumread skitter more throughout the game so it didn't take much for me to switch.

I think I've been over it but I'm in a mood to talk about this game ad nauseam kinda, somehow.

why are all of my games like this recently?

am i doomed to crave that fresh, uncomplicated love? it's fake, and plastic, but the pieces slot together so satisfyingly...

we don't have to follow the instructions, together.

[Chara]

oh!

Y... Ydrasse.

it's not what you think...

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

We really should pair up for dance

even if it is only for a dream

[LegoLucy]

I mostly outed cause being secrety and the gimmick were kind of a package deal for me (but letting people slowly figure out my main seemed fun, but then skitter said something that made me need to reference a game which mattered more than the fun.) And I stopped the gimmick because people were saying they were like becoming unable to play with it, and I think I'd do that as any alignment in interest of like, niceness.

Spoiler: unimportant/tangential

I guess you could maybe make a pairwise read about whether skitter and Chara could be saying they didnt actually mind the gimmick that much in a scum PT and make conclusions off that. I feel like I've posted with a gimmick in spite of scumpartners complaining about it before, but I can't quite remember it or put my finger on it. Salamence20 complaining about pinktext? Green Crayons complaining about pinktext in purgatory. I think that was it. Not a fullon gimmick.

you snubbed my offer for this game :(

i believe that you've talked about it, i've been kind of popping in and just skimming for context, i might be motivated to do this more properly if it ends up annoying someone.

do you have thoughts about Day's defense of you?
i know asking that question is just inviting more Day alt-guessing but.

well I am already paired.

and I didnt even know you were playing.

[LegoLucy]

Day told me exactly who they are with an inside joke many pages ago, I don't know if it breaks alt ettiquette to mention that. I think they have the material it would take to townread me here and it kind of felt like the surges in how much she was townreading me popped up right after they had seen something particularly distinct for me. Which has given me a good feeling about the slot aside from the mindmelds.

[Chara]

I agree, Alisae. I thought 'd give it a try because everyone seems to secret alt nowadays but I don't really get the appeal. Maybe they're ashamed of their main accounts.

i can confirm this is the reason.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

and every time I have proposed dancing to you, it has ended in tragedy.

I would be a fool to try it again

one can only have so much heartbreak.

this is probably valid, i can't really unpack it from my perspective, but re: secret alt etiquette, i think if a portion of the game knows who you are a portion doesn't, you're no longer entitled to that secrecy. i'd rather players play on their mains so i can just play around them normally, or keep the secret alt secret so i can treat them as a new player without knowing that player A and B have these meta reads i can't interrogate at all.

[Chara]

re: the actual content, Day's commitment to defusing the situation around your slot/translating or explaining your posts pinged, and then after being called on that and with the skitter timeline thing, they pulled back and did seem to reconsider themself.
it gives me pause, and i'm not sure i agree with skitter about it being NAI, since it's scum who might benefit from taking the reasonable, less aggro-approach, while i usually characterize town as being more protective of their opinions. but there exist reasonable town, too. and i have a tendency myself to scumread that agreeableness some players just Have.

[Chara]

Day's below null even without considering that but it's not for anything cool.

[LegoLucy]

I think I'm gonna stick to playing 90% of my games on main it's a good thing to do. maybe more idk

maybe some with a planned early reveal

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i honestly cant rememebr a game where youve been this nice to me tho

this is not good for paranoia

and its also not good for me to say to you

because if I SR you for being nice to me

you might be mean to me

and I like it a lot more when you are nice to me

;_;

[Chara]

if you don't keep playing on your main, then it's no longer a secret alt.

it becomes your new self.

[LegoLucy]

I mean Day is just seems willing to consider this 80 page game and skitter has tried to convert this to a 20 page game to get different results on the average alignment indication of my posts. Not that I don't fall into recency bias too, but it was pretty visible how that's what was going on there so I didn't find it scummy. I'm not a particular useful pocket or anything.

I feel like you're pretty obvtown this game which removes any trepidation I might usually have just being nice to you. Also it was extra fun to be disguised and be nice to you. You're not in the Almost Never Reconsider bucket like Luca but I don't really want to revisit you this phase.

I'm not sure why you have an expectation that as scum my MO would be to emotionally pocket you, since I don't think that's what I did in ss3 as best I recall
