Open 840 - Guardians of the Fortress [Game Over]

[DArby]

I highly doubt both Luke and Ari are scum both going Keep this early. Either T/T or T/S. Two scum going to the same location right away doesn't make any sense to me.

I mean there’s always the WIFOM aspect of it.

[Aristeia]

Ari, wanna talk about why you locked into the keep?

Like a page ago, you seemed okay with the keep or the gate

I think it is pretty clear why I want to go to Keep with Tanner <3

But you locked in before he did lol

[Aristeia]

i was worried someone else would lock in keep and then we couldnt be there together

[Tanner]

i am back and i have not gotten any work done.

i agree that pairing early is not an optimal strategy. i'd like to get at least some feeling on the people. also agreed it's very unlikely ari/luke are s/s.

Scum would want to make sure they end up in different places, so "I'll go where ever is left" seems townie I think.

if he's scum, he's not the only scum. plenty of room for his two partners to jump to different locations and for him to play the "i'm fine wherever" card. i *want* to say that if toog is scum, that means it's more likely one of luke/ari is... but eh, feels too early.

But that would push Tanner out of his top pick.... So maybe not.

i said i want to go to the keep specifically so i can get voted - i'm unsure why you're showing this compassion considering that?

They are the only two people on this player list I have ever played with, so might help us read each other ?

Separating people by those who have played together isn't the worst idea.

Personally, I think the odds now of separating out all the scum is low. Seems like for that to happen all the town would have to move quickly before scum can vote. So my thinking is to try and optimize for the mini games

i like this. it's very unlikely all scum go to the same place, so playing for optimization is probably the better call. i

think

i'll be able to read baltar with >rand accuracy, but unfortunately that's it, i don't have much experience with the rest of the playerlist. barring aristeia, but i am unsure i can read her >rand.

(on that note, lukewarm, we played together in the mini normal that tris modded.)

I think it is pretty clear why I want to go to Keep with Tanner <3

it is clear, but why are you so willing to do it?

What's the appeal of tanner again?

[Tanner]

mmm, now that i think about it, i feel traces of scumpings from 45 and 47.

[VP Baltar]

Of the player list, I've played with:

2. Tanner
3. DArby
4. imaginality
6. Toogeloo
9. implosion


Tanner is probably only person I think I can town read with reliability. Also fresh off a game with Darby and toog, so that is helpful

[Aristeia]

it is clear, but why are you so willing to do it?

because I want you to pocket me.

I have said this already.

You are such a silly guy.

[Tanner]

hm. i would say aristeia is still >rand town. scum!aristeia is basically forced to either flat-out lose one minigame, or use the night swap on me. and the second might not always be possible. it feels like limiting options for scum for... zero gain.

[Aristeia]

will you just lock in keep already silly.

[Tanner]

no, sorry, i want everyone to at least post before i do that.

i think it's likely baltar is townie too. 11, 49, and 57 are obviously angling to go to the same location as me. he knows how paranoid i get of him and how i'm sometimes prone to think he's scum for most bullshit reasons, see that pick your poison game. so unless he's the same petty asshole i am, he's probably town.

obviously

also

not a lock considering the swap is a thing, but yeah.

[Aristeia]

>.>

what if someone else comes into keep i will be sD

[Tanner]

then they're scummy and probably never get voted for? iunno.

[numberQ]

Have I played with anyone here before? I recognize a few names but I can't remember if those were games I modded or played in. Though maybe it's a moot point since idk if I'd be able to read them well even if I did have player experience with someone here.

So all that said, I'm fine not picking where I go. I have no real preference for which location I'm in.

The game played with me is not a proper reflection of my game style as I was already put in a bad spot replacing in.

[DArby]

Oh, and my preference for gate is purely because that seems like the most fun mini game. Scum, if you would be kind enough to not swap me from there I would be ever so grateful.

[Aristeia]

then they're scummy and probably never get voted for? iunno.

but I won't be with you

[Tanner]

i fear that keeping the fortress save is above both of us.

If I can't love you at your worst, I don't deserve your best <3

Not sure I'm following this logic. Wouldn't the fact that you just misread me give me a psychological advantage to being with you if I was scum?

[Aristeia]

i fear that keeping the fortress save is above both of us.

wdym dear?

[Tanner]

i guess it depends on how you think about it. my thoughts were how i just scumread you as town, meaning i'm biased towards scumreading you, therefore i'm likely to do it again. if you're working under the assumption that because i just scumread you as town, i'm likely to go the opposite direction and townread you... that's fair and i guess possible, though that means my townlean goes straight into the trash. sad.

pedit: playing to the win condition is more important than going on a date, unfortunately.

[Aristeia]

why would your read of me even matter if I am going to be voting for you?

[Tanner]

those are words that aren't yet actions, and i'm still not sure if i will be calling that bluff. besides, i like to get reads on as many people as possible. winning my minigame is good, but i want to help elsewhere too.
