Mini 2243: Chromatic Ascension || Game Over!

[Knight Magenta]

I am looking for a Knight that can provide direction to my aimless heart. One who can capture my fleeting fancy and hold it, showing me the wonders of the world anew.

propose to knight chartreuse

hoo boy

[Knight Magenta]

I think the comfort level and carefree nature of Azure is very townie.

You're probably right

you can get a townread for not openwolfing ngl

[Knight Magenta]

"Dearest me, what is that!? That is no Knight!"

GuyInFreezer, formerly Knight Azure, has been replaced. As you know this now, you may discuss it if you wish. Please do not speak of the new Knight Azure's identity. Thank you!

Propose: Knight Marigold

I’m not feeling particularly strongly about Marigold but I do feel reasonably confident that I don’t want to see Azure paired with anyone unless the new recruit shapes up. I secretly felt the original was a little shady but held my tongue.

jesus christ

[Knight Magenta]

what the heck is azure doing

[Knight Marigold]

This was entirely similar to a thought I had on Lavender I'd noted down but had yet to post. There's a dissonance between their opening and talk of wanting to "go extremely hard" and their subsequent behavior of pairing rather quickly. That wasn't a stupid thought at all!

I will concur that it is not stupid at all! There is a very specific type of person that I prefer to pair with in games such as these. That said personality type was out the gates looking to get hitched forced me to play speed checkers instead of the slow and methodical chess game I'd laid out as ideal, but I regret it not. I can only hope that it pays as many dividends as prior.

Also, and forgive me if this appears as a lecture and not the genuine friendly advice and question it is intended as, but...

Why did you not hold your tongue to see if the knight in question indeed stopped giving effort and rested on their laurels before tipping your hand? Were I to be of malice, I would not have known you were tracking such efforts.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. It was never a question of effort or lack thereof for me. It was a matter of whether their actions were town motivated. I thought it best to promptly respond to the mindmeld and affirm the validity of the thought. I had also just announced I was going to try to take notes prior to that, it's not like I was ever keeping it a secret.

[Knight Crimson]

Is not the purpose of life to obtain as they call it "normies flirting status"?

Goodbye old friend of the blue and wine. You will both be missed.

I would like to see blue given to one who is as pure at heart as they.

Pure at heart, alignment-wise, perhaps. All of the bedroom talk makes me suspect they may have partaken in too much wine, however.

I don't want to rush it, but I'll confess Rainbow still has my eye if I had to choose now. Perhaps she simply sparkles the brightest. Perhaps it's meant to be. Perhaps I just want to be near the center of attention.

That's a bold choice. I like your style.

Oh, yes, I quoted those because I wanted to say that I think everyone should just choose someone they feel they'll be able to read and work with. Perhaps past dances will show that my way is in err, I am not a student of the art of poise and movement.

My main takeaway from prior dances is that you want to work in harmony with your partner as much as possible. Too often a hotheaded town will exit the dance too soon. Why not allow the rest of the game to weigh in on the integrity of one's partner?

You may have access to more information about them (the private thread), however, your partner may also engage in play specifically designed to pocket you. It's best to work with the whole group rather than make the choice all on your own.

Knight Burgundy

voicing their fears of being left out, despite being a warm knight, and proposing to

Knight Chart

simply because

Chart

expressed a desire for a scumhunting partner (At least, that was how

Burgundy

interpreted it), has to mean something.

It was somewhat of a nothing-proposal, and I feel as if

Burgundy

had to have been aware of that. They said they were doing it because they were afraid of being left out (even though that made no sense), after all. They didn't express a read on

Chart

, either, they just proposed because

Chart

wanted a scumhunting partner.

Do they do that as a cultist? That makes little sense, doesn't it? The only way I see

Burgundy

doing that as scum is if they genuinely weren't aware of how weak a proposal that is.

Hrmph. That does seem so. Also I feel like he tried a bit too hard to ascribe meaning to my words, to the point I’m pretty sure he missed the mark entirely? I feel like my meaning was more emotional than practical. Which in a way means the words I used express just about what I actually meant.
I’m still a sucker for flattery though.

Perhaps. However, the meaning they described isn't even really an argument for proposing to you, if I am honest. "They were looking for a scumhunting partner". Sure, that's a justification, but it's also an admittance that you don't have a read on

Chartreuse

. It's so fascinating to me.

Oh, so this was

Knight Burgundy

.

Mari

hadn't said anything for at least 4-5 pages. In fact, Mari also had rejected an early proposal for its lack of reasoning just a bit earlier. I am beginning to get the vibe that

Knight Burgundy

gives approximately zero fucks about how their proposals look or who they are partnered with, and they simply want a partner.

I about to call this cavalier attitude towny, but I do find the "but I do feel reasonably confident that I don’t want to see Azure paired with anyone unless the new recruit shapes up." line confusing. It does come off as an over-justification, although I may be mistaken, as I am not sure what

Burgundy

is talking about. What does Azure have to do with this?

[Knight Crimson]

Oh, nevermind, Gamma was

Chartreuse

. I am mistaken. Disregard that last post. This is a most unfortunate time to be red-green colourblind. And doubly bad to have poor reading comprehension.

[Knight Crimson]

Oh, I hadn't even realized

Chartreuse

is a shade of green. That isn't even completely the colourblindness' fault, that's also me not knowing color. All of the yellows and greens look like the same colour and don't get me started on red. I legitimately didn't realize

Chartreuse

wasn't red until just now, which doesn't make sense I know.

Pardon me, I am confused as hell right now sorting out who is who exactly.

Chartreuse

is green and was proposed to hastily by

Azure

. They rejected based on lack of reason. Later, they made a hasty proposal to

Marigold

on their main. I see what they are saying now,

Chart

had a scumread on

Azure

so they were expressing that they wanted

Azure

left out.

I remain very confused what leaving out

Azure

has to do with

Chart's

own proposal to

Marigold

. Too bad I cannot ask now.

[Knight Crimson]

Oh my god I thought

Marigold

was

Chartreuse

in the last message. I am very sorry, their avatars look almost identical to me. I also apologize for clogging the thread working through my thoughts, but it's more or less necessary if I am to not lose my bearings.

Allow me to sum up what happened once and for all.

AZURE PROPOSED TO MARIGOLD. MARIGOLD DECLINED BECAUSE IT WAS HASTY. CHARTREUSE PROPOSED TO MARIGOLD BECAUSE THEY SCUMREAD AZURE.

If you want my conclusions, I remain believing think Azure is town. Chartreuse's reasoning is a big stretch for me.

Who. Was the one. Who was afraid of being left out.

That was

Burgundy

. I thought

Burgundy

was the colour

Chartreuse

even though

Chart

was the one declining

Burgundy

. I am so sorry.

At the risk of being wrong about the colours again, I believe it is

Azure

and

Burgundy

who I am hue-reading from this interaction and overall.

Chartreuse

has a strange justification to their proposal, since

Marigold

had already declined

Azure

, so it makes so sense to try and stop

Mari

from accepting

Azure

. And also as someone else mentioned, why is

Chart

assuming

Mari

is town if they have no read on

Mari

?

Chart

is either cultist or thinking fairly absent-mindedly about their proposal. The latter is sort of surprising given they had just declined someone else for having flimsy reasoning.

Of course I have no problem remembering

Azure

because I can see that colour just peachy. I am really frustrated about this right now, I am really sorry for clogging the thread with repeatedly incorrect posts.

[Knight Chartreuse]

I feel you on the colors.

Going to read back after my chart reuse about your prior posts.

Have you caught up yet on things where they stand?

Also why are you bolding players’ names? That makes posts harder to read.

[Knight Crimson]

That does make me wonder if

Chart

declined originally as a performative move. Of course, I guess all early scum declines are performative. Still, though. It doesn't jive with how their proposal wasn't very well thought out. It see that it was

Beige

who pointed out the issues with

Chart's

proposal. I have to agree.

I can easily make this promise, love.

I shall have no other account, no other passion, than your fiery embrace.

That is a relief. And I promise to have no affection other than what I give you, as well as present no mask other than this.

I do not know why my former self thought as they did. As for me upon looking at the game I think it was too early for a dance in general. I think everyone should be made to post so we avoid strong wolves pairing with strong townies.

Based on this latest page I wouldn’t be sad if Azure went dateless because I don’t like their posting. The vulgarity does nothing to help their slot and their ISO is lacking. I also disagree with Rainbow knight being paired with towniest slot. I think Rainbow Knight should make their choice and we read them just like anyone else. Rainbow knight is a PR that’s it. Otherwise hope you brought your pitons.

I agree with Rainbow simply picking on a personal townread.

New Azure's posting up til this post doesn't really mean anything alignment-wise, in my opinion. However, due to your suspicions, I shall review Azure's ISO and see if I still find it towny or if I am too hasty.

Azure makes a meaningless proposal on page 2, of course, that was a classic. Their reasoning being shaking the game up. It's a pro-town sentiment. Whether it was performative or not, I have yet to decide on. There is also 22 which is something I mentioned scum is a liiittle less likely to post, but not by a wide margin.

I really like Azure's personality. That's not really related to the read, but I enjoy them. My townread isn't as strong on Azure #1 as I remember it being, I will admit. It's fakeable, sure. I like them though, they have good thoughts on how to play and I like the early proposal move. I will concede there's no solid townread there. I suppose that isn't a surprise.

I skimmed Azure #2's posts for the heck of it. I don't have any issues with them. I like their thoughts in 205 even though they seem to be afraid of making dumb reads. I like the interest in pursuing Lavender rather than just scumreading her and being done with it (234). To be honest, I sort dig both Azures.

[Knight Crimson]

Also why are you bolding players’ names? That makes posts harder to read.

This is going to be rich, but I thought bolding names would help me remember them better. It didn't work. I'll cut it out if it makes reading my posts more difficult.

[Knight Crimson]

I am also having a little trouble keeping everyone straight, but I think Azure is town.

Oh, I feel a little less embarrassed not being the only one.

Ugh I wish we could eliminate. I only have a scumread in Azure. I have a couple of town pings in Beige and Daffodil but nothing to the level of a dance yet.

Is it possible you could elaborate on this scumread? (Especially about Azure #1)

Please. It does.

I am very much a stream player rather than a wall post player.

I am currently working against myself to not slip who I am and having words bolded that are not meant to be emphasized makes it harder for me to find what you find important and what you don’t.

If you had to specify a townread of the warms who would it be and why?

Azure seems to be performance over substance. I can’t find a rhythm to their posts. I don’t see where there’s any logic to pick at (except 205) and that had to be pulled out of them.

[Knight Crimson]

If you had to specify a townread of the warms who would it be and why?

I just read a post of Daffodil's I liked where they expressed a townread on Azure. Swear there was more of Daffodil I liked. Ah, I liked the pursuing of Rainbow Knight, sort of the way I find pursuing the IC in a normal dance game towny. It's really quite inconvenient for scum to take that path, imo, because you'll be paranoiaed on til the end of time.

I'm looking at

Mari's

Daffodil's reasoning for townreading Azure, it checks out. This might be more of an "I agree" read than a townread. Who else is warm?

I mentioned I liked Burgundy's lack of giving any fucks when it came to proposing (despite being warm). Seems like they are both not cognizant of the setup as much as I'd expect scum to be, as well as not worried about trying to get a towny partner so much as just getting *a* partner. Overall really bad scum strategy from them.

I like Beige's (who is apparently a warm colour) take on Chartreuse, although I am not convinced Chart is scum, it is something I agree is very strange coming from the slot.

Rose I don't quite remember much of.

This is embarrassing, which one is Marigold... oh I fucked up again. Fixed it. I don't have an opinion on Marigold, I don't think an early rejection is AI and I don't remember anything else

[Knight Chartreuse]

I know that’s a rather unwieldy explanation for my Azure read but I have a question out to Yddrasse so I can stay an honorable knight.

[Knight Lavender]

Yddrasse

It is good to know I am not the only one who struggles with her name, in that I always tend to make it dd instead of the mere singleton required.
