Mini 2250: Role-A-Pair Mafia (Game Over)

[Toogeloo]

The reason I thought Diamond TMI'd was because as far as I know, we don't know what our powers or modifiers are. So when he claimed that Mafia would have a Roleblock, I assumed he was talking about one of their powers and not the delay action (which isn't a Roleblock).

Shortly after, Pentagon states he didn't like Diamond, which is why I considered Pentagon a good spot to pair with.

I haven't really been trying to scum hunt, so much as figure out who would be my ideal partner.

[Toogeloo]

Shit. Sorry. I'm out.

[Color Blue]

Spoiler: rest of catchup

Purple's 102 is kind of ??

Like 105 from Circle

Kinda like 107 from Red. surprising. still want him to actually engage with circle about that read in public.

mmm mindmelded with 108 from Pentagon

I am so confbiased on purple :< I'm sorry it's like I can't read anything they post without thinking scum -.-

Like yellow's 113

Like Circle's 117 I hope they are right about purple

I want Circle/Arrow to be right about Purple.

I like 129

yay a pair is formed <3

137 I feel bad about scumreading purple now

@Star which shape do you want to leave out if we are using that as the elim?

I'm going to need a new post for this purple table huh.

awww that sucks Toogeloo.

You will be missed <3

[penguin_alien]

Shit. Sorry. I'm out.

Replacing Color Red. I'll unlock the thread, but please do not discuss the identity of the first occupant of Color Red until post-game. I'm going to be mean and say that that includes expressing sadness at losing players, sending well wishes, etc. If you'd like to express such sentiments, PM me and I'll pass them on.

[Heart Shape]

I'm usually not a fan of spontaneous full reads lists but purple's seems in earnest? I like arrow for town. There seems to be friction between the two tho that needs sorted.

[Heart Shape]

Arrow, are you good with purple's reads?

[Heart Shape]

I'll put a table of observations so you can get into my perspective.

Observations
Player	Observation
Color Red	Is a nullread to me. 39 feels like genuine concern. I am unsure if this is coming from Town or if it is coming from Mafia though.
Color Orange	Is a townread for me. Reaction in 23 feels genuine and Town. 135 feels like Town.
Color Yellow	Is highest townread for me. Entrance in 20 feels reasonable. Reaction in 21 feels genuine and Town. 110 feels like Town and almost reminiscient of somebody who I admire.
Color Green	Is a townread for me. Entrance in 9 feels like Town trying to start a conversation. Reaction in 11 to me feels like Town.
Color Blue	Is a townread for me. Reaction in 15 of my entrance feels Town to me.
Arrow Shape	Is a townread for me. Arrow's questioning of me in 95 feels like Town trying to solve the game.
Circle Shape	Is a townread for me. See 12. Reaction to my entrance feels natural. 128 feels like Town who is trying to solve the game.
Diamond Shape	Is currently a null read for me. Is doing things which could come frpm Town but I'm finding it hard to read them. See 42 to get what I mean.
Heart Shape	Is a null read for me. Isn't doing anything Alignment Indicative.
Pentagon Shape	34 and 36 seem like a Town reaction towards my entrance. I find 142 something Town could be concerned about.
Star Shape	Is a townread for me. See 92, 99 and 102 for my reasoning behind townreading him. See 141 as aditional reasoning for why Star is Town to me.
Triangle Shape	Posted nothing so far. I'll keep them as a null read until they start posting.

EBWOP

That's a lot of town reads tho

[Color Blue]

I appreciate the effort but there's like no scum reads and it feels kind of robotic almost in the way he is town-reading people for doing fairly minor things.

Also if you townread people who took issue with your entrance, did you make your entrance deliberately scummy on purpose? I'm confused about your thought process there.

[Triangle Shape]

Am stonk shap.
am STROKEST shap.

Star is a sus shap.

Plurp is best colr
Orang also a good.

[Triangle Shape]

Ruls don't say colr + shap.
Ruls just say PAIR.

powr + modifir = pair.
Mayb shap+shap is valid 2.

[penguin_alien]

I don't have a firm read either way yet, but Arrow seems very fun, so I vote we keep 'em around.

Pair: Arrow

Yellow is my favorite color out of the available colors and to be even more honest, I like 113 enough to take a jump and see where I land.

Pair Yellow

A Yellow Arrow Pair has been formed!



Any further attempted Pairings with or from Color Yellow and Arrow Shape will be ignored.

[Pentagon Shape]

pair red

changed my mind

Diamond should probably be left out.

[Pentagon Shape]

powr + modifir = pair.

possible dumbbell. or faikeslip?

Because I asked the mod about this yesterday.

[Diamond Shape]

Hi. I feel like I've been hit by a train but I'll try to spew out some coherency.

[Triangle Shape]

ur iso dosn't hav ne qustins 4 mod.

i smll scumz.

[Diamond Shape]

- I like Green from the back and forth with Arrow on pages 3/4, the turnaround onto Arrow in 53 is nice. It's a small 'trap' of sorts but it doesn't feel like one laid to frame someone poorly but just... feel out their thought processes. Arrow doesn't come across as good but not bad, either.

- ...actually don't like Arrow's snarkiness, unsure if this is a playstyle/personality thing but 72 and 82 don't do it for me. Also in response to Circle (who I think is... fine, on page 4), 79 and 80 feel like a small, weird sequence. Of picking at Circle for not giving reasons and conceding what they can and then like... besting them in 80? I don't think this holds a lot of weight but it's the feeling I get: "You didn't give reasons, here's my reason on someone else." I dunno. They're not connected posts really but this popped into mind and I like rambling.

- Pretty sure this has been said to some degree but Purple is probably down, weird entry but they feel very... earnest in their replies in a way that I don't think scum can easily fake. The content itself doesn't seem sound but the spirit matters.

- Blue doesn't feel Good rereading quoted entrance in 15 from 109. It's early game reasoning but it feels very... the thing you throw out early game because it looks a little nice and is easiest to fake early on, these small things.

- I feel like I am shrivelling up so trying to speed this up. Actually like 129 from Arrow and don't like it which is like okay, don't like how they're positioning themselves as like, aligned with Circle who I feel is... more overtly liked by everyone. Past biases aside could just be me tunneling early, Purple take is good.

- 133 is so true.

- I'm a little irritable over being POE'd with like, barely any posts but 143 feels like the sort of assumption town likes to play around with (X amount of scum in one Shapes/Colors) more than scum does because it's really silly and I think has been randomized in all dance games.

- Big list of reads, curious if Purple has any scumreads.

- Meh on 157.

+ Reply to Star Shape

Star feels a bit like pandering for town reads too

Not really, considering it's already been suggested that we lim the lone shape anyway.

It's weird playing a game with no RVS...

Since being unpaired doesn't mean automatic death in this game, I can volunteer to be the lone shape. In this scenario, I'll just keep the Delay holstered so it won't be an issue going forward. I'd prefer to be paired of course, but I think this is the easiest way to deal with this situation and make it a non-issue.

And this one as well, perhaps a bit more. Star, why make this sort of post to volunteer if you're going to undercut it immediately with a preference? It comes across a bit LAMIST-y to me.

Because the main attraction of this game is the anonymity and the pairing. I didn't sign up for this game just to go solo and not use my night actions. However I see an easy way to deal with the lone shape Delayer dilemma and have no problem volunteering if that helps town reach our win con more easily.

LAMIST itself doesn't really mean anything to me. If the plan is to lim the solo shape and you think I'm scum purposely volunteering to put myself in a situation that likely gets me voted out, then I suppose I resolve myself here, don't I?

I don't think that we're deadset on actually killing the person who is left out yet even though it's bandied around so this reply doesn't really mean anything to me either? Like it's by no means concrete so you can just... say things this early and then they don't happen later. Basically we impasse.

[Diamond Shape]

I'm going to curl up in bed again for a long while.

If any colors want to pick my brain in a PT, ask if you want. I'm not the type of player who initiates pairs in dance games and just consider what offers are tossed my way. Probably less picky given they're not lover pairs.

Will try to pop in again later tonight.

[penguin_alien]

Color Red has been replaced.

[Pentagon Shape]

ur iso dosn't hav ne qustins 4 mod.

i smll scumz.

If this is to me, I didn’t ask in thread obviously. And you’re shading me for saying I asked the mod, pretty much.

Maybe it’s you then? I just really trust red’s opinions.

[Pentagon Shape]

[Triangle Shape]

I appreciate the effort but there's like no scum reads and it feels kind of robotic almost in the way he is town-reading people for doing fairly minor things.

Also if you townread people who took issue with your entrance, did you make your entrance deliberately scummy on purpose? I'm confused about your thought process there.

I was trying to see how people react to lurking and other obvious scumtells. I dod have a scumlean which became a null read. To be fair, you can see 111 for my one ephemeral scumlean. I immediately ended up rereading and found nothing scummy and thus lost my scumread.

Also I still nullread Triangle. Triangle does seem to be deliberately writing in a way which I find unreadable. (That being said, this could be a playstyle thing.)

I was trying to see if I could elllicit some reactions to help me townread. It didn't work out as planned. I did have a scumlean which became a null read. To be fair, you can see 111 for my one ephemeral scumlean. I immediately ended up rereading and found nothing scummy and thus lost my scumread.
