Mini 2274: Terminator: Salvation Game Over!

[Enchant]

Pooky basically stoled coalition idea but doubled it to hide fact of stealing.

Booo!

[ejjinami]

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.

talk to me about Aisa and Loki
crap, there really isn't enough time for all of that

p.edit..... nvm you just did that
or not
can you elaborate more on both of them?

[Fidget]

I have come to the conclusion that going to the past is probably where you want all of the town you can to go, because otherwise the game doesn't really make sense. Scum need an incentive to do something, and there has to be meaning to picking who goes and who doesn't. If it's a valid playstyle for scum to stay behind that's a bit strange considering it said we want town as leaders.

I don't think you should try to play PoE games with the pools because I am wary of what happens to the people who stay (and maybe the ones who go). But, it's your choice. We have 7 days to pick between the two teams, apparently.

pedit:

Sort of. Loki seemed genuinely locked in an ego battle with N-Hect, Aisa comes off as a pure being to me.... Loki I'm kinda still figuring out but they play a very distinct town game.

Lemme dig deeper just for you. Yeah it's their relationship with N-Hect, I think they're genuinely interested in the sort of... back and forth they're doing where they townread/scumread/townread/scumread back and forth according to various previous game performances. Loki bogged down like half their ISO with that, idk if it irks them as much as scum. Best I got.

Aija is kinda peaceful. I reread her ISO and didn't come up with anything. I might replace her with Gamma to be honest. I'm not sure what I like about Aisa other than that she's pleasant

Event

Two:

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.

Okay, so it’s like a coalition vote of sorts

[Gamma Emerald]

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

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

I wouldn’t object to me, Loki, Enchant, NAHA, Fidget being one of the options

[Fidget]

Wait i have heal hammer?

HEAL: CSF

who is enchant replacing?

and that's a scum claim. good work

Serious or not?

I have so much work to do, but I read thru this instead. I am not a very bright nimbat. I hope you're not too busy today leaders, pretty constrained deadline.

Out of the existing heal wagons, excluding myself, I'm still most comfortable with Andante by a long shot. Fidget or Loki maybe. Preferably Fidget.

You see something about me? I also am pining for more Andante deets if you have any to spare

compare your posting style to Rat’s. Rat is silent and possibly lurky until they find something they find very important (like a read). You can somewhat guess what prompted them to write each post as most of those seem to have personal importance to them.

Compared to that your ISO (especially early game) looked like a bundle of everything.

I do not understand the processes that spur me into action, but they are not out of a sense of duty. I feel duty towards... hm... hanging around ancient talking swords, oddly enough.

RR comes off as not having takes in most of their posts, although when prompted by N-Hectic, they did give a sizable response, yeah.

I do want to say that I was actually in the process of writing 188 when "prompted" by They Who Shall Not Be Hectic. Which is why I gave the "Nah, not really" post as a direct response.

Lol. Very nice.

Also, I thought the post cap being 150 per phase was high enough as to be largely inconsequential, but at the rate some of you are going... Yikes.

I stand by my Andante heal for now, she's overthinking things a bit, but looks plenty Town to me. Firebringer's point that he'd be electing her as scum is valid, but if scum wants to help elect a Townie as leader, I'm sure not gonna be the one to stop them.

I think Hectic is probably Town. Which is to say that the alt that ISN'T Hectic must not be. Really, just not a fan of all the grandstanding, feels like a spicy mix of LAMIST and Too Scummy To Be Scum, so they're off my list of viable leaders.

Firebringer I think is genuinely Town here, though largely gut at this point. Wouldn't want him as leader though, because while I do enjoy a good shitpost every now and then... I'd rather someone more reliable take the reins.

Ejj I could go either way on. Leaning Town for now.

Everyone else.... No terribly strong opinions on. Mildly sus of Penguin, but that's just like. A vague feeling, less than even gut

.

rr went from this to their current fabricated stance bc they see a chance to get power

This ties back to RR's read on you somehow..?

RR suspicion hasn't really gone anywhere for me. That's convenient when we're townhunting, sort of, but doesn't make me feel particularly confident about the possible identities of the terminators.

[ejjinami]

Aija is kinda peaceful. I reread her ISO and didn't come up with anything. I might replace her with Gamma to be honest. I'm not sure what I like about Aisa other than that she's pleasant

lmao why haven't you played like that before XD
mmmmmmmm
crap, lemme see if I find enough time to look through Loki's ISO today. If not, definitely tomorrow. I didn't get those feelings when reading their thunderdome but that does potentially sound like a valid argument.

I'd seriously request a phase extention tho
it's not even enough to prod a person once

[Aisa]

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

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

Not sure you're interpreting the rules correctly here. This said, not sure I'm interpreting the rules correctly here.

The way I see it:
1. Both you and CSF nominate crews of 6 each. Players can overlap between your selections.
2. We vote on which crew we want to "send to the past".
3. Though the game may or may not get split in some way, the non-selected crew has no special significance.

Example:
Ejjinami selects ejjinami, Bob, and Blah.
CSF selects CSF, Alice, and Blah.
We vote to send CSF's team to the past.
This

does not imply

that Ejji's team stays in the present and anyone not in either team gets yeeted out of the game. The game may or may not get split in some way, but I don't expect Ejji's selection to have any bearing at that point.

Again:
- I could be wrong
- It's not even clear your interpretation is different from mine
- Just thought I'd bring it up

[Fidget]

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

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

I wouldn’t object to me, Loki, Enchant, NAHA, Fidget being one of the options

Yeah but why/who is Enchant though? Roden.. I do not recall

[Aisa]

Ehm
So sorry
I kept clicking the submit button and it did not feel likeanything was being submitted, I will not do that again in the future and I will ask Pooky if anything can be done about this
So sorry x2


mod note: deleted multiples -Pooky

[ejjinami]

I have so much work to do, but I read thru this instead. I am not a very bright nimbat. I hope you're not too busy today leaders, pretty constrained deadline.

ironically, I am xd
that's also why I'm unhappy

[Gamma Emerald]

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.

That must have been on your main because the only crossover between me and you on that account is a game I modded

[ejjinami]

town
[NAHA, RR, Andante]
[FB]

seriously hesitant on:
[gamma, fidget, loki]

bottom PoE???
[PP, aisa, enchant, Toogeloo]

gun to the head- there's no more than 1 scum among [NAHA, RR, andante, FB]; 2-3 among [gamma, fidget, loki, PP, aisa, enchant, Toogel]
I've skimmed through some ISOs, the only important ones left are Fidget and Loki
tho that's seriously something for later

VOTE: phase extension
at least 24h please

[Loki Dokie]

So clearly an awful lot’s been happening since I last checked thread. @Gamma, I would have voted you had you started active posting earlier, so there just wasn’t enough time.

I would love to be on CSF’s team with Andante, Gamma, Fidget for now, so we need one or two more. NAHA? one more? Asia maybe?

I’m starting to wonder if I signed up for Coalition or Squid game again.

*takes parachute*

I don’t understand the srs on CSF and RR hard objecting to her being leader? Just why?

@Gamma wrt your question to me about FB. It’s probably mostly because he’s being so nice to me, so slight paranoia? \_0_/

VOTE: phase extension

[Andante]

ooh nice, picking TRs. I love how CSF was like "I'll just pick the people that voted me" like what? that is probably the worst logic you can have here tbh, like, if town was voted in, I'm gonna take a wild guess scum was like "ok must be on their good side, they're about to get power"

but uhh I hate coalition stuff, so whatever, I'm town though!!

[Loki Dokie]

I have come to the conclusion that going to the past is probably where you want all of the town you can to go, because otherwise the game doesn't really make sense. Scum need an incentive to do something, and there has to be meaning to picking who goes and who doesn't.

So do scum jump in a Delorean with Doc Brown and go to the future? Not trying to be flip being in Pooky games kind’ve does that to you.

But seriously, can you explain how time travel to the past makes sense with this game because that totally went over my head?

[ejjinami]

I would love to be on CSF’s team

that's not partnered
scum want to be spread, they're risking their lives here

it's not like this conclusion has any sort of use rn tho

I'm curious, why CFS?

[Loki Dokie]

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

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

I wouldn’t object to me, Loki, Enchant, NAHA, Fidget being one of the options

Why not Andante though? Talk to me more about Enchant. I didn’t really get much of a sense from Roden.

Won reread, I think I get it, it’s like Divergence or something, we need to go back to the past to save the world from the terminators.

[ejjinami]

actually, EVERYONE should write what teams they want to be on.
This should be seriously taken into account.

[Andante]

if I'm even on a team, I do not want to be on CSF's team, CSF is maf so whatever team that is, is not passing the "coalition test"

[Firebringer]

I wish to be on catch scratch fever team.
Seems like that one will be the fun team

[ejjinami]

who do you want your other teammates to be tho?

[PenguinPower]

I volunteer to stay in the present. The past is scary, and I hear they don't have bridges.

[Firebringer]

Did ejji just flip me to a town read.
When and how did that happen

[ejjinami]

I volunteer to stay in the present.

why
