Silent Star 4: Yin and Yang

[Chara]

Amy: can you talk about why clidd is town for you?

[NorwegianboyEE]

Unless Robert comes back and blows my socks off with an epic comeback i’m just going to assume he’s frozen scum as Tanner suggests.

[Tanner]

i think Yin said he's a thief because the character he's being is a phantom thief.

right. i still don't think it overrides my other points, that we genuinely have no clue what his role is and whether he'd be truthful to us.

yin

, is yang a criminal?

pedit: i vaguely remember seeing town!robert act a bit more freely in the game i modded, but (1) been a while ago and (2) not like i was putting in effort into reading him there. i'll try to skim his completed games at some point to see if anything interesting pops up. maybe. idk i hate meta research.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Since when did you go for an FPS guy/Generic Hollywood blockbuster protagonist approach to your avis Datisi?

[Tanner]

john tanner is a protagonist of a driving game, how dare you

ever since some people (who i shall not name) made fun of me for using such an avatar on my main. originally there was also some intent about trying out a different playstyle or something, but now this is just my "i will try to not lose my nerves every three seconds" account.

[Chara]

does playing on a different account help with that?

[Ircher]

You can only ask one every 24 hours.

It was after the last midnight. Zzz... You should've clarified that it a full 24 hours had to pass and not just a 24 hour period.

Chara is a decent wagon, though (as Norwegian said above) the npc's suggestion isn't too conclusive to trust.

Ircher is also an equally healthy option.

Yin is the evil one, remember? Their favorite Chinese character is black. What do you associate black with?

[Tanner]

does playing on a different account help with that?

so far, yeah. but i've never made it to endgame with this account, which is usually where my nerves really go off the rails, so remains to be seen.

ay yo ircher, wanna place an actual vote on someone?

[Chara]

black can be associated with a lot of things! geez, it's as if you haven't even

played

the fifth generation of pokemon...

[Infinity 324]

UNVOTE:

Clidd convinced me that robert is towny

[Chara]

in what way?

[Infinity 324]

Because I don't really see a reason for scum!him to make the push on datisi. I still don't understand why he wanted to townread datisi when he didn't know who datisi was, but it's enough for me to townread him for now.

[Tanner]

he wanted to townread datisi because he saw tanner say that pooky's townread on datisi is premature, not knowing the two are the same person. he claimed that's scum!tanner being afraid of townies correctly townreading each other, and trying to shut a townread like that down. hence scum!tanner > town!datisi. have you... read his case against me?

[Infinity 324]

I don't really get the chara wagon, its thoughts are nuanced enough to not really want me to wagon it so early.

PEdit: I feel like there's a better explanation than robert was just making stuff up.

[Ircher]

ay yo ircher, wanna place an actual vote on someone?

Nah. I'm fine with my current role.

[Tanner]

PEdit: I feel like there's a better explanation than robert was just making stuff up.

i'm not saying he's making stuff up, i genuinely believe him when he says he had no idea tanner/datisi are the same person. (and i can kinda buy that he thought datisi was a different player in the game that i was throwing shade on). my problem is that his follow up to finding that out looks much more like scum who doesn't know how to react naturally, as opposed to townie who found out his push was not factually correct and is re-evaluating.

[Infinity 324]

That's fair

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i really don't like Pooky trusting Yin's word on there being scum in that group, there is no evidence he's being truthful with his other answers and it's a super convenient way to put a vote down on me after townreading me.

I don't trust Yin as far as I can throw him

which isn't very far

[Ydrasse]

weak

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

my arms are too short to throw people very far

*flails*

[Flea The Magician]

Welp, back there it started, the lyrical catchup post. <3 Do I bring back to Kaomojis too... hmmmm. (•ิ_•ิ)?

Spoiler: Oh life, it's bigger

What's wrong with an good old-timey Ircher wagon.

I'll probably get into this wagon depending on what conclusion I get about Morning and Robert.

I'm not familiar with Ircher's townmeta, but his post has vaguely reminded me of scum!Ircher in Titus vs Nancy.

Current thing bugging me is Ircher doesn't just drop a townread on me that easily.

amy saying yang would be obviously town aligned made me question the alignments in a different way

the possibilities are like, town/mafia, but i don’t know if we should put stock into one as definitively one or another as they might be their own independent things...?

I'm not sure they can have alignments because they're not players -- "Non-Player Characters"

Course, it's Hectic so I suppose anything is possible. i like the idea that they're observers/governors of the game a lot more though

The tutorial NPC at the start and the big bad evil thingimabob at the end of the game are both NPCs, I strongly suspect mechanical shenangians at play here.

Flea The Magician - idk flea's good

ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Don't trust my SR on robert

Why?

Tweetie i want some of your energy. let me siphon it. is it bad to just coast and let Tweetie play day 1 for me?

is what i might say. in another life. i feel like i'm looking at town Tweetie here, and i want to say that about Ydrasse too.

Yup, don't do that. This is you starting to deepwolf. ू(･ิ ॄ･ิू๑)

Spoiler: It's bigger than you

why is not getting killed so important?

because i'm town, and i don't want the town to waste a yeet on me.

hmmm....

is there a meaning behind this "hmmm"?

I have suspisions.

VOTE: Robert M Hunter
Just fine wagon.

A fine wagon still needs a good driver. Whats your thoughts?

Oh hm, you make a good point. I also think it's wrong although unsure if intentional

It seems close. Cumulus clouds are the big puffy clouds we see on a normal day, but if it is thunder storming, we see cumulonimbus clouds instead.

but both 251 and 253 feel like throwing shit and seeing what sticks. the "future excuse for scummy play" line legitimately makes no sense.

Nah it came across as confirmation bias to me. That being said, it makes you more likely town.

VOTE: Yin
Let's see if this is valid.

Likewise, VOTE: Yang

Subroutine 4A: Flea the Magician

NACK. ISSUE OVERRIDE COMMAND.

Spoiler: And you are not me

I honestly don't know what to ask to yin/yang.

Yin answers I need to go over, Yang answers are probably around 90% no good as far as the game is actually concerned.

i wonder if yang is allowed endless posts per day but yin only gets one

i think that kinda makes sense given the... quality of content?

Ydrasse gains a 1-day townpass.

Scum can certainly vanish as a response to pressure, that can even work to relieve it sometimes. And of course it might be unrelated to alignment anyway

Dunno what games you play but it never works for me, hell I get more flack for vanishing o.o

Spoiler: The lengths that I will go to

The clock approaches midnight.

A white dove sits on pavement illuminated by stars and streetlamps. She does not move. On approach, it can be seen that her white feathers are marred with red. She holds one wing close to her and does not move it, but her eyes are on you.

The street is strangely quiet tonight. The road shines with the remnants of a recent rain.

@Yin

is my public masonry criminal-free?

I say its not.

>What is the purpose of Yin?

The purpose of Yin is the purpose of Yang.

@Yin

If I asked Yang how often you speak the truth, what would they say?

She would say: "The llama is a domesticated South American camelid, widely used as a meat and pack animal by Andean cultures since the Pre-Columbian era."

If Yin and Yang don’t know who the scumteam is, what is their exact purpose in this game besides obviously entertaining us?

Actually:

Yin

?

I am here to put on a show that will be remembered in the hearts of the audiennce.

yin

, are you a criminal?

I'm no lowly criminal! I'm a thief.

Yin

, how many factions are there?

There are 3.

@Yin

: How often do you practice Taoism?

@Yin

: Why did you skip my last question?

You can only ask one every 24 hours.

Yin

, why did your account's identity change to Kaitou Kid?

Identity is not static.

Now this, this I like. Pookys public masonry is not criminal free, but we're all criminials I think so that is a null answer. I need to recheck flavour.

Yin and Yang are opposing forces that directly rely upon each other, which is that answer.

The answer to my question is accurate.

Yin and Yang are confirmed to be core mechanics with the response to Amy's question imo.

Ydrasses question suggests 3p.

I didn't know about the 24 hour thing, I thought it was a game day so that's interesting.

and preach that last one. <3

l am town reading amy and flea. still on p 18.

Can I ask why? Also you've given out a few associatives on very little inforamtion

clidd you have asked me way too many questions.

clidd may no longer ask me questions for 24 hours or until any player pays me a compliment

Blue is definitely your color.

... lightbulb.

Spoiler: The distance in your eyes

The mechanics And purpose behind the Yin and Yang players aren’t clear enough for me to just blindly assume something like there has to be scum in me/Chara/Pooky just because of something Yin said.

Then we expand on it, or rather, contract it.

i kinda wanna veto robert as being an elim today

he’s only ever going to look scummy imo rather than especially towny with his current rate of content and he feels like someone who if he’s town is easy to steamroll? (i noticed the datisi thing as well but i didn’t find it nai in the whole of it)

like he could be scum but he also doesn’t tell us much

maybe this is pre emptive fear of dawdling too much and settling on a just okay elim close to deadline

don’t ask me who i want more right now because it was infinity but i should reread her

Seconded.

Why should Nakata provide explanation at the time of his votes?

Flea thinks Nakta should be a little more transparent in his process. Flea also thinks you're doing the bare minimum to appear active.

Spoiler: Oh no, I've said too much

You can only ask one every 24 hours.

It was after the last midnight. Zzz... You should've clarified that it a full 24 hours had to pass and not just a 24 hour period.

Chara is a decent wagon, though (as Norwegian said above) the npc's suggestion isn't too conclusive to trust.

Ircher is also an equally healthy option.

Yin is the evil one, remember? Their favorite Chinese character is black. What do you associate black with?

Yin represents Darkness, cold, wet, negativivty and femininity.
Yang represents Light, warmth, dryness, positivity and masculinity.

Important to note, they are not complete opposites though.
We need light to see, Darkness to rest. We need the cold as much as we need the warmth. Alone they are not whole. They require a little of te other to be whole which is why the symbol has the dots.

And it's everywhere.
In food Yin is salty or bitter food, Yang is sweet or spicy.

Yin is not evil.

and you're getting voted for this

VOTE: Ircher - reason in bottom spoiler.

[NorwegianboyEE]

VOTE: Ircher
Yes please.

[Flea The Magician]

I just realized we can form a public masonry between Chara/Norwee/Me

@Yin

Are Chara or Norwee aligned against the town?

@Yang

Am I town?

[Tanner]

I have suspisions.

do you plan actually talking about this?

ircher wagon feels like a wagon on a townie who's being weird. and distracting from a buddy who's caught with their pants down but people are giving them a pass because "???" "what if they're lhf".

Nothing much to say beyond people who are survivalist give me the heebies.
