Holiday Dance Party ---- Game Over

[Firebringer]

ngl I'm heavily considering just leaving once second dance starts

this game has become way too much of a shitshow for me

ur too much of a masochist to do it.

you mentioned before that you think I have influence in this game

I really don't

u really do, as soon as i asked u to get involved whole mood of game switched into solvey mode. Now that ur zaped of motivation here we are again where u think we are infinite cycle.

Its like u don't even realize how ur own mood is affecting ur influence and thus impacting game chaos.

[Firebringer]

U can be nice to taly by putting ur GOD DAMN VOTE SOMEWHERE

I will if he asks me to. All else being equal, I wanted the day to last till tomorrow so I can do some reading.

we have less than 24 hrs at this point, and i also am planning on leaving 6 hours before deadline if we don't reach consensus. So we really don't have time.

that's probably more an indicator of who exactly was there at that time more than anything

no it was ur posting u nerd

[Firebringer]

okay, hold on

VOTE: Andante

immediate game moment change out of the repeated cycle. Whole vibe of the next 5 pages is a completely diff game to 30 pages before and u know it.

[Galron]

I wanted

Titus

to get a word in and I want to see

Fire V Dragons

and I want to actually have a vote placed somewhere

But I don't know if I have the stones to keep up with this game seriously for 24 hr

Like, I could finish my powerpoint memes and vanity vote like I do most games lol. I'm right there at this very moment.

I just want someone to de-escalate my feelings because this benefits scum, and have someone be nice to me so I can think constructively.

You're cool Taly. Just ease back for a bit.

i should head off night

[Galron]

I mean, you're prolly scum, but I don't hold that against you. And I don't think anyone else does.

[Taly]

lmao

idk what to tell you

out of all my townreads:

Galron is barely here, which frankly I don't blame him for
Datisi's too frustrated to take me at all seriously if I try to push GL, which is one of the slots I find to be a high priority sort in this game
Harley Quinn is in her own world
Something_Smart isn't the type of player to make things happen or sway how the game is going
RH9 is giving me the impression that he's mostly worried about things that don't really progress the game meaningfully, which I kinda suspect is because of both his inexperience with the game and his age

That just leaves you, Taly, and Titus. Taly is almost certainly gone in intermission, and I'm seeing next to no circumstances right now where your and Titus' pairings aren't the next two pairings gone during a dance

That leaves me with essentially no ground to stand on unless I try to brute force my way through (which is the type of thing that has worked

so well

this game so far), with a broken town that is more than likely never going to be able to properly sort in an endgame scenario, and with me in a state where I can't do it for them

so I don't know what exactly I'm supposed to do, because from here all I see is that even if my reads are basically spot on, I can't actually verify them or rally town enough by myself to actually push them through

like it's frankly getting very old how easily it is to hide how easy it is for scum to slam through a kill on the pairing of one of the only people in this town capable of actually pulling people together, or shading pairs that are more likely than not TvT pairings, and just defending each other while the chaos just keeps reigning over the thread. Everyone is so far up their own ass that I don't think it's possible for this town to be saved anymore without something really drastic happening, and I don't have the willpower to do it myself

so basically this gamestate is fucked, I have no clue how to fix it, and I don't know if this town is savable at this stage in the first place

[Alyssa The Lamb]

whoever's scum in this game did a fantastic job of making this situation the way it is

the fact that STD/Titus is being ran up right now is honestly really impressive

[Save The Dragons]

UNVOTE: i need until tomorrow morning my time let me check when the deadline is

[Save The Dragons]

don't leave fb unless you really think andante is scum

[Save The Dragons]

i'm doin a 180 fire/andante are town

[Save The Dragons]

i need some time to think and i probably won't have it until tomorrow morning

[Galron]

Galron is barely here

I actually thought I was doing more than I usually do, but maybe not.

[Alyssa The Lamb]

that's relative to the thread itself

[Save The Dragons]

how exactly did we go from being a potential end game pair to needing to get rid of me immediately? hmm?

[Andante]

Dragons, can you please explain your TR on me

[Save The Dragons]

your ATE worked on me

[Save The Dragons]

rather i believed it came from town, not scum

[Andante]

lol ok yep Dragons maf

This is it's own form of AtE, a more intellectual type, that I dislike because it comes across as deviously manipulative. I don't completely disagree with some of the sentiment, but the way it's expressed, Alyssa, seems beneath you.
