Slaughter Hour: The Grand Debut! | Fin

[Gamma Emerald]

Thru page 3, Ulyana’s posting I’m ngl I had the suspicion that she might have been up to something wrt being informed of things, she’s kinda played inquirer a lot. But I’m not in the mood to just go apeshit and make a command decision off of minimal logic. That was only the first event, maybe later ones will give her better chance to prove herself. So I’m straight up calling that I will not be going for Ulyana here. And while I’m at it, the top TRs are obviously not getting chosen.
I don’t want to be in a position like I was in FGO 2 where I was basically afraid to be IDed as behind the Ruler vig because everyone was like “that was a stupid kill wtf”. And it’s even worse because I don’t have a fallback of being conftown, so I’m basically going to spill my damn guts here so even if there’s disagreement about my shot, at least I’m being open.

[Gamma Emerald]

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

On this subject, the only thing I even close to stand by is my thoughts on peta, Ydrasse I think is town because she just doesn’t have the scum fatigue that bled through in PYP, and I’m straight up not bothering to think about Prism’s posts in a game sense by now. Gypyx has been here long enough that I feel okay just reading him alone.

Very random aside: I tend to periodically check post counts just to track how high I rank in them, I was at the top

before

this happened, imagine how far ahead I’m gonna be when this is done. I only intend to post when I have something real to say though, so no need to worry about that. The fact this was tacked onto another post should prove that.

Back to linear reading

i am confused; it isn't about any post being fake not read, by 'role' i meant the result of the elimination, that is what pooky is theorizing about, someone receiving a 'king' role for the end of day, to choose an elimination, based on being chosen here

but prism was saying, maybe i will be acquitted! which would be like an ic i assume, which seems far far less likely to me, so was either not thinking along the same lines as pooky or was not revealing that they had similar thoughts which would be kinda !!!

This is honestly a bit of a mindmeld and I somehow missed it all this time
I wasn’t thinking the reward would be an IC, but I was thinking there would be actual tangible benefit to a player if they somehow got acquitted. So that’s fun, wish I’d known about this post wayyyy sooner.

My point was that Pooky's came after, and yes I was asleep. Some of your points this was irrelevant but there was one that had the order reversed.

The word acquitted came from trial, bur post 25 was jokingly pointing out that it may be an elimination or a setup for a further game. The last line having "perhaps win a prize!" was meant to be intentionally overly optimistic.

Okay I lied, I am looking at Prism’s posting in a game sense. This was probably the most on-the-money thing I’ve seen yet as to speculation of the chair’s importance. Problem is I can’t decide whether that’s damning or not. And like with Ulyana I’m not in a mood to act on something I can’t really suss out a full comprehension of on my own, although this relies more on the groupthink rather than interacting with the person who made the post (which would be futile anyway).

sorry i think i have explained very very poorly, i do not expect you to have pointed at the exact same thing as pooky,

it is like, if you want to be voted, you would have to think there is a more likely outcome than being eliminated, similar to pooky's, which seems somewhat plausible to me

On this point. I think scum were playing to avoid the chair entirely perhaps, as it’s basically a massive spotlight on you. And more directly related, this makes a lot of sense, and I think the ensuing tilt was unfounded. Acquittal requires deliberation, which thus means there’s also risk of an unfavorable outcome. Yet Prism towards the end of this page speaks about having a feeling that there was an always-favorable outcome that wasn’t a kingmaker. I have to deem that as a demerit as there’s nothing I can logically think of that would be without some catch or consequence.

I'm a VT (Yes, I know we're all VTs. I wouldn't want some people jumping on me for not claiming that as per my "meta" /grin).

I was scum in that game

wut

Uh we are not all VT

I'm a contestant :3

I’ve been consistently bothered by Saber posting in flavor terminology so intensely and I think it may be clicking why.
This feels a little pants-on-head, but my idea is the scum made sure to bone up on the flavor of the game and thus remember it better.

Uh we are not all VT

You're right. Anyone want to claim they aren't a VT?

I actually didn't read that part and was trying to draw a kill LMAO

I am not enthused by this continual dumbtelling coming from Dwlee. Past a certain point it feels staged.
And yes I’m aware this technically contradicts what I said about that Cephrir post before but these are on different wavelengths I’d say.

We should proceed as if whoever we are voting for will die

And if they don't die, we can do something different with the rest of the day

this is correct and any other speculation as to the outcome of the event is boring and a distraction

I staunchly dislike how adamant this is.

yeah my initial Prism read was traaash
Could it have been right? Maybe, but not for

those

reasons.

[Gamma Emerald]

The exempt: Taly, Ydrasse, skitter30, Infinity 324, ulyana, Gypyx
The tbd: Saber, PookyTheMagicalBear, SirCakez, Toogeloo, Galron, Dunnstral
The watchlist: Dwlee99, Cephrir, petapan

Anyone in the top row I will not shoot. The bottom row is where I’d feel best shooting. Middle row is folks I need to suss out, or at least don’t want to kill yet but not enough to take them off the table. Names might move around the bottom two tiers a bit, but if a name is in the top tier expect it to stay there. These also aren’t in direct correlation with my reads because like, I’d rate ulya as in the next-to-bottom tier using my existing method, but desire to hash stuff out with her puts her squarely outside the realm of ever being someone I execute here.

Also, had the thought that things might get switched over after my shot where I don’t get to post during the vote to execute or spare me. So I’m glad I’ve already decided to put down just about everything I’m thinking if that ends up being the case.

[Gamma Emerald]

I think maybe we should give the throne to someone who

doesn't

want it

because scumbags know if this thing is good or not.

if it's good, scumbags will want it.

if it's bad, scumbags won't want it.

So if we give it to someone who wants it, it's more likely we give it to a scumbag if it's good, and a non-scumbag if it's bad.

Yeah it seems like Pooky is on my wavelength that I expressed in response to 126 about how scum would’ve approached this.

Also I think I can pinpoint the page this post was on as where everything went to shit for me.

[Gamma Emerald]

its almost like he knows something we dont

More like I just dgaf
I’ve already basically checked out because I tried playing serious and it felt like everyone had a problem with that. So instead I’m just being Captain Capricious and doing whatever the fuck I want. And rn I want to fuck with people.

Looking back it’s clear what the catalyst for me going “fuck this game” was: it was Prism and peta barking at me for responses and answers. I basically had the reaction of “going with this is just going to make this game infinitely more exhausting than I’d like, so I’m going to defy it”. Turns out this game ended up being exhausting but not because of a million questions.

Also, another very random note that Pooky evoked: if a dance event comes up and we’re both alive for it, I want to pair with Cakez.

[Gamma Emerald]

I’m shifting into ISO reading for probably the rest of my deliberation because just reading the game regularly is starting to feel like the well of info has dried
Saber’s early progression through the game seems pretty alright, I just feel like there was a lot of flowery content in the way of that and we also had the square-off about my TRs that set me against her. I’d like a chance to actually have a heart-to-heart, so she’s exempted from the kill.

[Gamma Emerald]

I think I’m also good with exempting Cakez for a couple of reasons. Let’s get this out of the way first, yes I want to dance with him eventually. He also just, hasn’t felt scummy at all? I feel like I’m normally really good at picking out when his vibes are off. I managed to ID CL!Cakez off of a very loose grasp of his play in 3d20. Times where I’ve been off-track are probably mostly attributable to other factors.

[Gamma Emerald]

I’m starting to feel weary, so I’ll finish this up after sleepy time

[Gamma Emerald]

alright back to the grind
pooky is still about where I last had him, he's towny pretty consistently but I'm kinda just wary because he's swindled me a good few times in the past, and none of his posting rises up as pure town posting like his vibe check thing from Radio Buzz. But it's enough to not go there.

[Gamma Emerald]

In a way it feels like Dunnstral has been playing a different game than the rest of us, his focus and thought process seems so out of line with what's going on. While that's probably scum-indicating, I also feel like it's something I again want to put up for discussion rather than acting on now.

[Gamma Emerald]

I feel like Toog’s contributions up to now feel very hit-or-miss. The middle of his ISO kinda feels the worst. I’m not sure how much I think it needs litigating, hrrrrm. I’ll skip a final determination for now.

[Gamma Emerald]

Galron’s posting looks pretty not-okay looking at it with fresh eyes. I feel like from the beginning he was hoping to pocket me. I’ve had talks with a friend from this site that have led me to realize that it’s honestly very rare to see scum all against me. When I’m in the hot seat, it seems more often scum will take a broad set of stances on me. His play around my slot just feels very engineered to make a good impression on me overall.

So my list of names atp is down to (Cephrir, Dwlee, peta, Galron), with Toog as a maybe.

[Gamma Emerald]

Deciding to do ISOs on the non-Galron shot options as well
I really feel like Cephrir’s push on me doesn’t feel right. It feels like he’s stuck in a spot of

having

to push me, which kinda builds on the idea that scum were stancing up around me in different planned-out ways.

[Gamma Emerald]

On second thought I actually don’t want to shoot peta here because I feel like there’s things I want to discuss with him. I feel like my bad reaction to being questioned by him and Prism is partly caused by my plurality situation that I’ve mentioned before in other places (which I still need to work on my big document about).
When my parents are grilling me for answers I either don’t want to give or straight-up don’t have, one of my alters starts to come out, one that is currently known as Z (it has an actual name, as do most of the others, but until I find a name for the last one I need it for, that being M, I’m not going to use the full names in public content until the whole system is covered). Z is on record as not really having much access to my memories, and is prone to irritability under pressure. My thought process going fuzzy and me refusing to engage are clear indication that Z was at the wheel att. While on this subject, when I lashed out at Prism the last time, that was a different alter, known as D. D sometimes feels combined with M but is notably more aggressive while M is assertive.
I’m not trying to dodge any connection to my actions, Z and D are part of me and so I wrote those posts. But I feel like given how my interactions with peta have basically been off from what I think they should from the beginning, I want to try to change my approach, be more sympathetic towards the people I’ve been short with in the past. Obviously I can’t do anything wrt Prism now but I can give peta a fair shake.

[Gamma Emerald]

Not much to say about Dwlee’s ISO, still think the dumbtelling was bad, still not a fan of how he feels bent against my view of the game. The big thing on my mind wrt the second thing is he and Saber have felt very similar in that regard, and for a couple of reasons I think that makes Dwlee/Saber likely not S/S.

[Gamma Emerald]

After having given myself a framework, Toog!scum feels more within the realm of possibility. His play feels at least a little in line with what I’m expecting scum to have done here.

Gonna watch the anniversary screening of Evil Dead soon. Once I finish with that, I think it’s time to give someone the boot.

[Gamma Emerald]

Also, had the thought that things might get switched over after my shot where I don’t get to post during the vote to execute or spare me. So I’m glad I’ve already decided to put down just about everything I’m thinking if that ends up being the case.

I reread the post describing the event and this isn’t the case, thank goodness.

I think I have my choice. The player I have in mind to execute seems like scum on a number of metrics, and I think should be somewhat well-received.
It’s Galron. I feel like the people who feel scummy based on positioning are probably sketchier than those that I just dislike how they’ve interfaced with my reads. And out of those who’ve seemed to have scummy positioning, Galron just keeps cropping up as the one that feels the most errant. From the word go it seems he wanted to act like he was in my corner, most likely because he’d seen how ferocious I’d been in Radio Buzz and in 2234. And since he was the other wagon that took off yesterday, I think it’s best we nix him here.
VOTE: Galron
I see no reason to put this off any further.

After a period of consideration, the executioner makes their choice.

"Ah, PookyTheMagicalBear! Yes, of course! Off we go, then..!"

The crowd positively roars with excitement. Cheers and boos echo loudly off the theatre walls. Total and utter confusion sets over the cast members' faces.

The executioner shakes their head and voices their protest amidst the din, but it's in vain. The host already has her back turned and her mind made.

PookyTheMagicalBear was executed, apparently by mistake. Galron is alive and well.
This is no matter. These sorts of mistakes happen all the time in show business.. don't you know?
The executioner must select a new player to execute. It cannot be the same player as their first selection.
We're here to entertain, and predictability is awful for ratings.
The event will proceed as normal afterwards.

[Morning Tweet]

"Off With Your Head!"

For now, only the Executioner, Gamma Emerald, may speak.

They have an additional forty-eight hours to choose a new Noble to lose their head. That Noble is killed, but not yet flipped.

Galron may not be chosen to be executed!

Then, the surviving Nobles have forty-eight hours to discuss and vote whether to

Execute

or

Spare

the Executioner.
The Executioner may continue to speak during this time. The dead Nobles may not. All flips will only occur after the second vote ends.
If a town-aligned Executioner is spared, there is an undisclosed benefit for town in the following game. You will not learn if this occurs.
