Slaughter Hour: The Grand Debut! | Fin

[Gamma Emerald]

It seems like you're talking to other players about Prism but you're in a 1v1 with Prism directly.

That’s exactly the point. I’m like a prizefighter, I’m clashing with my foe while also trying to glitz it up for those watching. And it is extra-pertinent I do so because those watching, much like in a gladiatorial match, have the ability to give the thumbs-up or thumbs-down to my cause.

[Prism]

I think 555 covers my progression from wanting my own elimination to turning my eye more critically towards Gamma, particularly the part about what happened when I calmed down.

Regarding your (Taly)'s push for the chair, I believe that is the motivation

if you are scum

, but as discussed previously you are a townlean.

[Taly]

oh, thanks for the links

Prism

, that makes it easier to follow!

It feels like this could easily be a method for you to rain check how the thread perceives you, or try to paint

Prism's

posts unfavorably without having to engage with them.

[Prism]

Also, to go straight off the deep end logic-wise, your little post link paper trails reinforce the idea that you’re overly self-conscious.

I encourage you to supplement your case for this with meta and your 4 years of experience with me as a player if you believe it to be scummy.

[Gamma Emerald]

That concern feels fair but idk how to exactly rectify that rn
Part of the issue is Prism is trying to swamp me with evidence to sift through and rather than deal with a bunch of grist and shit that probably doesn’t matter I’m focusing on what I find pertinent. I had a similar reaction when ssbm_Kyouko cased me in Radio Buzz.

[Gamma Emerald]

That was @Taly

[Prism]

Strange that half this table, every single one of whom have fewer games with me than you, can readily vouch that I am this aggressive and pull out receipts like this in a flash as town, but this is the most pertinent and scummy point to you.

[Prism]

Alright, if I post again in the next few hours someone slap me.

[Taly]

Ceph

who are you and can we pocket each other?

[Gamma Emerald]

I probably barely remember most of our games
And tbh I do see similarities to what kyouko did in your play but I’m not ready to back down just yet

[Taly]

This is unrelated but I remember the only time I caught

Gamma

-scum with such confidence.

It was

Merchant's Daughter

and he had paired with an IC.

He 180'd his townread on me the second I scumread him. Then the IC lunged and scumread me.

I eliminated them.

Hehe, so I can officially say that I've eliminated an

innocent child

before. That should strike fear in scum of my capabilities.

who are you and can we pocket each other?

hello, i'm an lsg player who's been sucked into some sort of mafia vortex and forced to play against my will. i'm very cute and charming and probably shouldn't be trusted although i sure like it when people trust me anyway. hope that helps!

i'm still trying to figure you out!

same here! let's do a popcorn back-and-forth question/commentary game!

It seems like your interest in the thread waned when you saw the

GammaVPrism

altercation round 1000. Has any of their own posts helped inform you on their alignment?

[Taly]

for ydrasse and pooky

[Infinity 324]

taly do you have any thoughts on saber so far?

i think it would be fair to say i never had a ton of interest in the thread to begin with (i am quite excited about the game, but haven't found much of the thread interesting yet. i expect this will change eventually.), but it's also true that arguments with 7000 layers tend to especially bore me.

i still lean towards gamma being scum here. i think his pooky vote was nonsense, his tilting seemed a little scummy to me, i think several times he has thrown out votes in a weak attempt to distract from himself, and he's just acting strange overall, which makes him a good place for my vote right now as I have 0 other suspects. the fact that he's obviously losing the argument i don't care so much about -- i know that some players are just not as good at 1v1s and being one of those myself i can sympathize. but, i'm not sure i see a sense that he believes in the points he's making, which i do care about.

you weren't really lowering my whim, i am just ... uh, sensitive to say the least so pls don't take it like that

i am feeling better now about stuff so it's all good!

[Taly]

Hey tally is in this game.

sorry taly

Hi! I presume you're an alt of a main who I've played with before? How many games?

[Taly]

yeah, that's everybody I've played with before

we played together in student council; you were part of a hydra with alisae i was tracy flick

I was the first player who brought attention to the fact it may not be a straightforward elim.

i mean, i asked someone if they thought it was just an elimination beforehand,

I want Ulyana to come in and give non-setup takes before I give an opinion.

anything specific you want my take on?

Gamma's

a slot getting a lot of attention, is it warranted?

[Taly]

oh and hi

tracy

omg I'm so scattered with posts, I don't want to become a hyperposter.

[Gamma Emerald]

I kinda wanna take some time to let things simmer wrt how I feel about Prism. Meanwhile:
VOTE: SirCakez
You feel notably absent right now. What’s going on?

[Taly]

Infinity

All of Pooky’s SRs feel valid
Typically if Pooky is town I end up thinking one or more of his SRs are bad

Peta/Prism/Ydrasse all seem like okay slots to sus rn

From his perspective as well as in general those 3 aren’t great so far
Peta’s kinda felt reactive
Prism’s desire to be acquitted was a little skeevy and his reaction to being sussed was to claim joke which while technically valid doesn’t negate what actual tangible game thoughts he displayed with his joke
Ydrasse trying to jump in on the pockit fun felt a little overwrought

It's too early in the game to be voting someone because 'I don't think any of their paid actor reads are bad and I usually do' when Gamma has other valid suspicions.

It may just be inoptimal play over paid actor play though, since the reasons for his other suspicions are reasonable.

Only post that stuck out so far from them. I don't think

Saber/Gamma

is S-S.

Gamma

is approaching

"at threat of getting the chair"

aggro and I don't think a scumbuddy willingly incriminates themselves to defend a less than optimistic cause. At least, that's my presumption of a typical player I have no experience with.

The interpretation that

Gamma

is actually town means that

Saber

might be deepwolfing. But that's too stretchy to assume at this stage, and in poor faith.

I think

Saber

weighing the possibilities behind the posts that rile people up about

Gamma

is in good-faith, and likeliest town.

TLDR

T/T or T/S.

Saber

likely town.

Gamma

has pinged me with his posts in the past pages, but I don't want to press a sore. I think his frustration and

"wtf"

-aura is NAI and genuine, even if the reason is not.

Ask me a question!

I believe this response is town-indicative.

[Gamma Emerald]

Taly, what do you think of Cakez rn? I feel like him being low-impact early is pretty strange in general but slightly scum-indicative based on recent meta
