Mini 2243: Chromatic Ascension || Game Over!

[Knight Daffodil]

Oh by the way I gave few dance games a quick skim.
It looks like the one of the biggest problem that is happening in dance games seem to be town leaving the dance, often after an emotional outburst.
I think we should avoid doing that.

Strongly agreed. At the risk of making my hand attractive to scum, I am not prone to obviously suboptimal play.

[Knight Lavender]

Knight Lavender, wouldst thou share thy ancestral strategems that we might, in thy own words, become wiser in the hearing?

The false prophet put it best:

Subject: A warlock, a werewolf, and a vampire... [Game Over]

Some more game analysis: I believe that the scum team was particularly weak this round. Getting left out as scum in pre-dance should be avoidable as long as you didn't roll 3 gentleman or something ridiculous like that, and none of the scum players were much influential in the day game. Staying quiet and looking okay is passable, but you're never going to make the endgame pair like that. The mafia wins of the previous iterations had strong dayplay from the scum players, with possible exception of the summer waltz where Luna Fox threw. I agree with Something_Smart that losing the original gentleman 1 was quite a blow.

We go extremely hard to scrutinize every warm-cold blossom of love, and we leave one of the nasties out in the pasture.

Is that not more or less obvious? Try to save the good and eliminate the bad, it hardly needs restating. Why did you believe this to be pertinent?

Twas but a shameless play for the sole purpose of getting the field to think before they leapt. Common sense is hardly assuredly common these days, after all.

I find this reply surprising. I see more of use in post 16 than either of you characterize it, but now that you're folding I wonder if you even meant to say what I believed you had said. I thought it was an insight into the significance of the proposal phase.

Oh, do not mistake me, the proposal phase is where the best reads are formed.

But I would hardly call my reply a fold. Merely another wrinkle on the collective town brain.

[Knight Azure]

Oh yeah by the way +townpoints for Marigold.

[Knight Chartreuse]

My only wish is to know what about Knight Marigold has taken your fancy already?

Literally the only reason is that Marigold is the closest to being my color's complementary color.

A valid concept, minus the fact that my complement is unfortunately missing.

[Knight Daffodil]

Oh yeah by the way +townpoints for Marigold.

Merely for turning down a proposal? Marigold would have to be remarkably unconfident scum to accept at this stage, particularly considering they are a Warm Knight.

[Knight Rose]

Oh yeah by the way +townpoints for Marigold.

Why? If it’s based off the rejection, I think it’s more of play style than actual alignment.

[Knight Azure]

Oh yeah by the way +townpoints for Marigold.

Merely for turning down a proposal? Marigold would have to be remarkably unconfident scum to accept at this stage, particularly considering they are a Warm Knight.

Yeah I just realized that all the warm knights are guaranteed to be paired anyway and mention that too.
I guess my little test can only work on opposite way lol.

[Knight Daffodil]

How is Rose a warmer color than Magenta, anyway?

[Knight Beige]

Hi all. It’s interesting that Rainbow Knight is not confirmed town. The optimist in me thinks that it’s just to account for previous games being generally townsided(?). The pessimist thinks something more interesting might be happening. I don’t really think we need to suspect Rainbow just for the sake of it though.
I agree with Azure that we should keep things civil.

I assume Rainbow Knight's alignment is just as random as anybody elses, and the decision on whether to add an IC to the game or not came before alignment rand.

[Knight Rose]

How is Rose a warmer color than Magenta, anyway?

I’m not complaining. Guaranteed to live this phase at least(I think)

[Knight Chartreuse]

One suggestion I have is to peruse prior dance games and see which picking method (greater picking the lesser, lesser picking the greater) more often results in a victory for the town. We have the ability to go both directions, but I feel like I'd rather we keep things orderly so we don't form some love polyhedron monstrosity.

[Knight Crimson]

Oh yeah by the way +townpoints for Marigold.

I am in agreement with

Knight Daffodil

, I am afraid. There are better indicators of intention to be had.

pedit: I am glad we have consensus. To add something new, I read

Azure Knight

's 22 as vaguely towny. An easy lie to make as scum, yes, but one they think to make, perhaps a tad less likely.

To weigh in on

Rainbow Knight

, I have a feeling there will be a twist related to them soon that may or may not shed a light on why she is no IC.

[Knight Daffodil]

Don't the Gentlemen have to propose in the less colorful court? They are rigid and less open-minded there, I think.

[Knight Lavender]

Of those who could cry out, none of them so blithely have stepped forward.

I Accept

Let our dance echo throughout the ages.

[Knight Crimson]

In fact, I am willing to say I get the sense that

Knight Azure

is pure of heart overall from their posting.

pedit:

Daffodil

is correct, I do not believe there has been a game where proposal is a two-way road, although I may be mistaken.

[Knight Azure]

Let us cheer the making of first pair of colorful dancers with a glass of fine burgundy wine!

(Red and purple mixes to be kind of a burgundy color)

[Knight Crimson]

Of those who could cry out, none of them so blithely have stepped forward.

I Accept

Let our dance echo throughout the ages.

Let it be one to remember, both for the members of the order whom are present today, as well as for those who hear tales of the Chromatic Knights, for ages to come.

[The Rainbow Knight]

I love a nice glass of burgundy!

[The Rainbow Knight]

I'm currently enamored of Daffodil and Rose upon entry.

I would accept Azure in a heartbeat but we are unfortunately too cool to dance together.

[Knight Beige]

Of those who could cry out, none of them so blithely have stepped forward.

I Accept

Let our dance echo throughout the ages.

I did, though.

[Knight Chartreuse]

Part of me feels that I lack the proper passion to declare strong feelings for anyone else. Mayhaps someone will propose to me in a way that brings me out of my shell?

[The Rainbow Knight]

What do you not like about Crimson's posting?

[Knight Lavender]

Of those who could cry out, none of them so blithely have stepped forward.

I Accept

Let our dance echo throughout the ages.

I did, though.

Pardon, of those who could cry out that I cared to hear the opinion of, rather!

I echo lady rainbow's opinion, hear, hear, tell us of your concerns about my fair beau.

[Knight Beige]

What do you not like about Crimson's posting?

Too much fluff.

[Ydrasse]

Knight Crimson and Knight Lavender have formed a Palette!
