Mini 2274: Terminator: Salvation Game Over!

[Andante]

Town!Andante never TRs me, she always scumreads me for some reason.

you seem towny right now though, love all this talking!!!

[ejjinami]

Crap
Welcome!

Stop shitposting, just let them get warned
Stuff like that just makes ISOs difficult to read

Who is this towards/about?

You.
I thought you were shitposting with a player who decided to troll and post in a game they’re not in.
I checked the OP instead of the vote counts to verify
my bad

I'm actually kind of stressed out now

Something something power something something responsibility

honestly, I hope I was wrong
And I hope you get some enjoyment out of the task regardless

My initial suggestion was to try to do whatever leader task we get based on consensus reads rather than individual ones
and maybe like- if we choose a PoE- choose MAX 1 player based on personal reads
tho I’ not exactly sure what the consensus is

just… let’s try not to screw up too badly

Imo whole game is a joke.

Literally one person punching everyone else before someone emits metallic "Boink" will carry game.

Punch Firebringer. Robots are made of metal
he’ll boink for you


I’m starting to hate it here


let me just lurk until I get to know what my role does

[ejjinami]

If anyone has any suggestions about the leader actions, do say them. I always check the forum unless I'm running away from stress
and right now I'm not
I probably just won't post

glhf

[ejjinami]

last thing to say- I'm pretty sure it IS mechanically correct to act based on consensus views.
so that applies no matter what
I just don't know how to make it work

Resolution

Secret Resistance Base - 2026

Heated debate rages across the room.

Accusations fly back and forth...

"You're a Terminator! - No You're a Terminator!"

"Oh yea? watch me eat this giant steak right here in front of you"

Eventually consensus is reached and two brave souls step forward to the command console.

With the timer ticking down and mere hours left - they put their palms onto the control pads and look at each other.

Rivets of sweat run down their faces as they nod at each other - the awesome responsibility of the entirety of humanity weighing down on them..

Simultaneously they press down and the classified communications begin to decrypt in front of their eyes...

Ejjinami and Cat Scratch Fever have been selected as Leaders!

Change the Past, Save the Future

Secret Resistance Base - 2026

Beep beep beep.....

The flashing comms message decrypts itself in front of your eyes.

Our crack scientists Pooky and Jingle have managed to create a time traveling vehicle that can get us 50 years into the past.

Congratulations on being selected as Leaders! You will have twenty four hours to select a crew of five people not including yourself to join you on this most dangerous mission.

Both crews will have seven days to familiarize themselves with the vehicle's configuration before they must launch for the past.

The goal is to time travel back to the Early 1980s and destroy Cyberdyne in Sunnyvale California and prevent Skynet from ever being created.

There is no way to get back home so this is good bye. Your sacrifice might secure a brighter future for the rest of humanity and prevent disaster.

Change the Past, Save the Future

Game Rules:

Leaders must select teams of Six to crew the vessel[A Leader must always select themselves for their own team, they also may not select the other leader] (Select by Healing Five Players) [24 Hour Deadline]

The Entire Game will vote on which team should go to the past. [Majority Vote Rules, 7 Votes Needed for Majority, Plurality with Seniority at Deadline] [7 Day Deadline]

The Team receiving the most votes will man the time machine to travel to the past.

If the selected team has no terminators in it. this game will immediately end in a victory for the Resistance.

If the selected team has at least one terminator on it, this game will continue and the consequences for humanity may be devastating.

A day?! Pooky did you forget a 0 in there

Also this is less stressful than I anticipated lol. So who wants to be on my team :3

[Cat Scratch Fever]

If it comes down to the wire since we only have a day, I'll probably pick ppl who voted for me lol

[Cat Scratch Fever]

Hmm actually

@pooky

, can someone be selected to be part of both crews?

[NotAHecticAlt]

GAME SPLIT POG

"You're a Terminator! - No You're a Terminator!"

"Oh yea? watch me eat this giant steak right here in front of you"

Lmao love it XD that just made my day


NotHectic, RR, Firebringer, Andante……gamma???
tbh I love how unnatural it is not to think of innediately choosing a pure team despite the fact that I said I won’t act based on personal reads just one post ago

but yeah

If it comes down to the wire since we only have a day, I'll probably pick ppl who voted for me lol

Let’s try to take it seriously
…unless your reads are the exact opposite of mine then there’s no problem anyway XD

frankly speaking it really might be a good idea to take the most skilled players at faking their tone (those who pocket everyone) and throw them into one pile
although I highly doubt this could end in an instant win

[NotAHecticAlt]

I'll be on the team that doesnt include andante

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Hmm actually

@pooky

, can someone be selected to be part of both crews?

yes someone can be selected for both of the teams

the only restriction is that the two leaders can't select each other.

the first five person heal a leader makes is final for team selection

once both leaders have selected we'll begin voting for which team goes to the past

[ejjinami]

yes someone can be selected for both of the teams

huh???
wait, what happens to those people who are on neither team then?

[Cat Scratch Fever]

ohhhh okay then that simplifies things a bit, since we don't have to decide who goes into which group

so we basically pick our top 5 townreads I think

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

yes someone can be selected for both of the teams

huh???
wait, what happens to those people who are on neither team then?

they don't get to fly this cool awesome time machine thing then.

[Cat Scratch Fever]

I need to get back to work, but NAHA, Loki, Fidget, Gamma, ???

[Cat Scratch Fever]

Andante?

[Enchant]

Add me in crew 5 times and that's it.

[Fidget]

Are the people sent back to the past at jeopardy, or are the ones who stay behind at jeopardy?

I figure that they try to eliminate the terminators by making it so they never exist. If a terminator goes, something catastrophic happens. Do we lose the people in the time machine or the people in the present, I wonder though?

I could see either way -- the people in the time machine return to find the present oblierated. That, or the instant the people in the time machine leave, the people who are left behind instantly go to the new present. Time is like that I guess.

I do not have a terribly great inkling who the terminators are. I am nearly certain to include at least one. Unfortunate.

We only have one day though. I like.. EJJ, Aisa, NAHA, Loki. I suppose.

pedit: I townlean Gamma although I recalled that he can play laid back as hell as scum too. I am kinda wary of Andante, Andante is easily town but I don't want to say I think they are because I have no idea.

fuck

I don’t think that’s the mechanically correct thing to do
It “feels” like it’s the right thing but frankly, that may be a huge landmine
I’d at least seriously consider choosing people who’d give the most benefits from getting them in a PoE

I’d also consider what the benefits of having the same players on both teams are. Like- the team that remains in the present will surely have to do something as well

Lmao, I feel like if I chose the players I genuinely town-read, no fucking way I'm going to the future
people would be so mad
(and I'm actually not confident enough to do that... only for a few players :/)
tho lmao, happens.
that might be a better thing anyway

[Fidget]

Interesting we have 7 days to deliberate the teams but basically a split second to choose. I have classwork right now, I'll see you again.

EJJ bleeds town to me. Aisa is not as strong, I think she's an excellent mediator and plays protown but technically could be passive scum since, nothing in the game has really forced scum to do much of anything yet. NAHA is probably town and the same goes for Loki. It's just kind of the best I got.

I like Gamma's posting but I specifically recall a theme game, maybe AI UPick, where he afked as scum and got crazy townread. I too remember games where he actively tries his hardest at scum. Not sure. I overall identify more with his lost impression of the early game though.
