Mini 2228: Isekai uPick - Endgame

Tho I should have done same for S_S actually

[Kate Bishop]

your S_S read is intriguing.

These reads are as of a certain page in the game? If so, what page do they tie to?

[Gamma Emerald]

why is lukewarm getting flak?

Why’d you ask this?

[Gamma Emerald]

your S_S read is intriguing.

These reads are as of a certain page in the game? If so, what page do they tie to?

They were sparked as a result of the last post I made before it, so ig that one

[Gamma Emerald]

Page 34 to be clear

[Gamma Emerald]

I'm willing to be swayed. I think her pop-ins do very little to me. She has that same attitude of scum who think pretending to scumhunt means you produce trivial questions. It's just looking inquisitive, but not actually being.

I've been waiting for Kyouko to have her Eureka moment and it still hasn't happened.

I’ve also been waiting to see kyouko shine out

[Gamma Emerald]

So far Toog and dgb are my top scum reads, but I don't think that they make sense as partners because dgb came out and explicitly townread toog not long ago. Might go back and find it

This is an interesting thought process
What about DGB’s townread seems non-partnered?

[Gamma Emerald]

Cabd is being hush but whatver

If I were a dayvig with one shot, I'd probably have hipshot unwnd for the two-post reaction format to the dayguilty thing.

but this game is going to be won on consensus building and there's no "easy" three man scumteam. I don't want the Annie or Cephtd of this game getting away from me while I'm alive.

Yeah I also feel like team-building at this stage is pretty difficult
But in those cases I pretty much try to hit the nexus of my suspicions enough times until the puzzle falls into place for me

[Gamma Emerald]

I'm struggling with this manatee claim the more I look at it.

The initial claim is that it kills a random townie if it's not on the Lim wagon.

Then it's clarified that it kills the person it's on if they aren't the Lim wagon.

Then it's further clarified that it's once again a random player if the vote isn't placed at all.

That bugged me too.

I don't know why people are bothered about Manatee's role still.

Maybe it's

ALL THE LIES

Again, they are both taking a stance that feels bad, but also I don't think they would be this blatantly buddying / agreeing with one another if they are partnered.

You might be onto something. I noted a similar thing about Sircakez+battle mage in Among Us

[Gamma Emerald]

unwnd claimed a daycop guilty on you. Thoughts?

I think that never happened lol

If it did, then I assume its a gambit, because I had unwnd pegged for town before I left

I didn't murder the victim.

But If I did, here's how I did it.

Eh the reaction looks natural
(which I’m also probably gonna take notes on because I kinda suck at reacting to such things naturally)

[Gamma Emerald]

I say this sincerely

This will not be the game I try to influence

I am in spectator mode

Kay.

Should we all just not try? Just give the fuck up and play this game on autopilot?

You have to realize as town there's nothing more demotivating than this, right? Like I just don't want to play this game anymore now.

I'm sitting here on top of a role PM that is literal misery and heartbreak, on top of not getting to do any night play, and I'm putting on a brave face and trying. When I see this, what am I meant to think? That I'm trying for nothing? That I should just quit because it'll all be the same anyway?

I'm so tired. I'm so done.

Idk these type of games I feel like its sheep cabd/lld and if theyre wrong kill them off.

-_-
In general yes that’s probably how you handle those two but in this game I think they’ve both become rather obvtown so any word at all about offing them for being wrong comes off as treasonous

[Gamma Emerald]

Whoops left that LLD quote there
I was gonna point to that as further proof of her town emotional direction, but felt doing it unsolicited was overzealous and decided against it, but since I quoted it might as well

[Gamma Emerald]

This whole day's trajectory feels like a matter of when, not if

So how much long do we want to prolong it?

I got this feeling like 15 pages ago

[Gamma Emerald]

I'm just waiting for the right game to break out the sarcastic approach to spam checklist meme to bring back the peak 2013 cringe

I know I’ve seen the checklist before but where

[Gamma Emerald]

You know you want to help me kill luke Cabd.

I feel like I’ve been vibing with Luke’s thought process to some extent so he maybe deserves a bump up in the earlier read list
Tho I also vibed with scum!ceph in Radio Buzz so actually no

[Gamma Emerald]

I actually hate that theory tbh.

Because 1, it is broken as hell.

and 2, she never would have claimed it? Like, that role as claimed on a traitor would just never use the second vote, and let the "kill a random townie" part activate every day

This is valid
Manatee can’t be scum without some fudge in the claim otherwise that’s just not a fair role to anybody

[Gamma Emerald]

im sorry but i feel like i ask alot of questions regardless :shrug:

I felt this

[Gamma Emerald]

Basically it felt like there has to be scum in the TRs because otherwise we're correct about who scum is and Luke is content to just die and scumread his buddies. So something seems wrong.

Radio Buzz was as easy as it being House/Roden/Ceph
The meta these days is for scum teams to struggle, which was why I found bloodstained kinda interesting as I spectated it

[WhemeStar]

Im thinking about jsut claiming my role to stop people from voting me and start looking elsewhere.

[Gamma Emerald]

Manatee, why do you town read me so strongly?

hmm. i think ur early role shenanigans w unwnd were in the space between nonsenical and understandable that only comes from town. I hard agree with your reads, so despite being a bit paranoid im pretty confident our same thought processes r both town.

Okay yeah I’m kinda thinking manatee and luke are just town here

[Gamma Emerald]

Also I'm going to throw this question to y'all to help me understand things.
What stops Toog from being a passive-aggressive spiteful town who stepped into the game on a wrong foot?
Because I see non-zero possibility of this scenario and ngl it's the big thing that's holding me back.

I want this answered btw.
A good counterargument to this statement will only bolster your scumcase on Toog so it's a win-win!

I hate assuming people are being spiteful as town
I had the one incident where I took FG’s vote on me super-personally and since then I’ve felt very averse to assuming people are doing things out of a negative place personally

[DrippingGoofball]

v/la have a flight soon

Bon voyage, safe travels!

[DrippingGoofball]

Gamma, I'm town.

You need to do a better job sticking to your values, then.

How is DGB not sticking to values?

DGB’s thing about scum taking forever to make good fake claims. Were DGB town I’d have expected it to hound Toog about his partial claim until he nailed something down.

Toog claimed. Toog's claim was weird but so was everyone else's.

Myself, I was irritated with being scumread and my own thoughts were to refuse to claim to punish players' bad reads of me.

I cannot humanly bleed more green than I do in this. It's literally impossible. I've never been this townie, and I'll never again be this townie. So I take every scumread as a personal insult to my town game.

[Gamma Emerald]

Have you actively confirmed that it affects the counts needed for votes, though?

Yeah. I will be considered as if I am not in the game.

I think a mechanic like this existed in SU2 mafia (blast to the past, and I didn’t even play in that)

[Lukewarm]

Im thinking about jsut claiming my role to stop people from voting me and start looking elsewhere.

Dude, you are not even the leading wagon right now. What prompted this thought?
