Micro 1005: Help Isis, Scholarship Student at Noon

[Andresvmb]

This day has been dragging for long enough - let’s at least find out if there’s Scum amongst the choices Ydrasse put forth.

[Andresvmb]

@Isis TELL US WHAT HAPPENS NOW.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

HURT: Infinity

Alright that’s enough. Not what I wanted but let’s just get on with it.

[Isis]

Isis decided that she would like aggressive friends to form her team.
Ydrasse nodded and zipped away on her broom, because it was shortly after class and she knew that tris would be getting dirty soon if she wasn't drafted. Tris was grinning at a mud puddle outside the school and dived to make a mud angel when Ydrasse caught her at the last minute to carry her back to school. "You're going to do some organized activity after school for once."

Alisae offered to play eirself. "I'm friends with both Theurgia and you.. I was going to go to the mall after class, but it would just be wrong for me to skip this". E offered to take the first serve.

Andresvmb came over from a fight scene from acting practice and offered to play, even though he knew he would get sweaty.
He carried a regalia keychain with him for good luck, that made his suit more powerful. Every time he would strike the ball, PookyTheMagicalBear would glow and flash with power.

Theurgia grinned. "Quite a batch of players!". The demon had her own team of brightly colored athletes.

Isis was excited as the game started. It was every bit as challenging and complex as Theurgia had suggested it would be, aiming for spots hard to return, and anticipating where the ball would go. The very first point had over a dozen volleys, but.. the team's cooperation was not perfect. Sometimes no one expected who would get a pass to who. Sometimes it wasn't clear whose responsibility it was to return the volley.

In the end, the scholarship athlete won. "That was fun! It was the expected result, but it was good to see how it went. " Theurgia said.

"I have time this afternoon. Let's head inside where it's cooler, and we can play quiz bowl right away!". She truly was a sport.
"Of course, there's only a few buzzers, so you will have to pick a smaller set of your friends to play. Maybe you should ask them a couple questions to pick the best ones." Theurgia winked and grinned.

Deadline is 7 days. The standard day phases will be 7 days each but only 5 days if fewer than 5 players are alive.
It takes five to remove someone from quiz bowl team. You can use vote tags as normal.

[Alisae]

VOTE: pooky

[Alisae]

ig i was wrong sorry

[Sha 77]

Siiiigh I'm not sure what about this game's demotivated me so much

Andres, what's your account name in that offsite meta you gave me and how do I ISO someone?

[Sha 77]

lol maybe the site meta's townsided enough that we can win mountainous

oh wait, it's not mountainous, we know there's at least 1 scum in that group of 5 players

Ydrasse - always town
tris - strong town start, dropped off a lot
Alisae - town for the way e sorted Ydrasse tbh
Andres - mixed feelings of towniness and scuminess
Pooky - ???

[Sha 77]

I'll read over that Andres meta tommorow and decide who I'm voting of the two

[Andresvmb]

Andres, what's your account name in that offsite meta you gave me and how do I ISO someone?

Same name. To ISO you need to press the button that looks like the top part of a person below any of my posts.

[Sha 77]

I am partners with Hectic

can confirm this though

[Sha 77]

Andres, what's your account name in that offsite meta you gave me and how do I ISO someone?

Same name. To ISO you need to press the button that looks like the top part of a person below any of my posts.

Cool

[Andresvmb]

I was kind of hoping the game would end. Voting Pooky seems too easy - I did genuinely feel that there wasn’t much heated debate because the Scum probably couldn’t lose. There was just a lot of shading. We might want to consider whether Ydrasse is Town to be honest.

[Andresvmb]

The good thing about it I guess is that I think Infinity is highly likely to be Town. So I can drop my paranoia there and perhaps rely on their judgment a bit more.

[Sha 77]

I'm very sure on Ydrasse being town

I wonder if my group had 5 town/1 scum but my group was never really the focus so scum didn't have to worry about it

Pedit: Why is Infinity specifically highly likely to be town as opposed to the other 4 left off?

[Sha 77]

*other 3

[Sha 77]

Andres flipping on his uber strong townread in Alisae because e was willing to compromise exclude him causing Andres to eventually vote to exclude Alisae is actually so bad

VOTE: Andres as placeholder

We'll see if the meta brings fruit

Sidenote: having Andres autocorrect to Andre's every single time on my phone is infuriating and looks like a scum tactic on his part

[Sha 77]

Andres, as I understand it, Alisae eventually gave into everyone calling you scum and was okay with compromise excluding you. I don't see the scum agenda in this as why not continue to pocket you, and it's not like they care about who makes the group up - they were always being included if they're scum.

Can you explain why that made you reconsider your essentially locktown read on them and made you vote to exclude them?

[Infinity 324]

I still think andres was just biased by ali townreading him and the bias went away when e stopped TRing him

[Sha 77]

hmmmmmmmm that would be a reasonable explanation for that flip if he's town and pocketed by the read

[Infinity 324]

Will get on the alisae meta, I think it's pooky? I think?

[Sha 77]

It's quite interesting that Pooky and Andres were the final two voters on that wagon. Imagine if I only picked town for my group... I want to dream

I say interesting because if they're a team, it's very bad for both of them to be on since they would recognise the other 3 are seen as towny and one of them always gets voted out the next day

An Andres has entered today saying Pooky is too "easy" for unknown reasons and that we should reevaluate Ydrasse. Not liking that. And also Infinity is highly likely town when I don't see why she can't just be scum with 1 of the other 4 in the group from Andres's perspective

I'm not sure if Andres not going for Pooky straight away makes them more likely to be aligned though, I feel like as S/S they would recognise they need to bus here so mayhaps it means Andres-scum recognising he gets voted out after Pooky flipping town, so is trying to widen the elim poik

[Andresvmb]

*other 3

I think the fact that Infinity was specifically excluded in a situation that turned in Scum’s favor has to heavily weigh in any analysis of Infinity’s alignment. How could it not? I’m not even sure if Ydrasse being either alignment makes a difference.

I think the likeliest person to be Scum has to be an advocate for excluding Infinity that was otherwise also in the Team. That of course includes me too to a degree.
