Mini 2274: Terminator: Salvation Game Over!

[Loki Dokie]

waitwaitwait, can we at least agree on getting some night phases then?
Like- in between the intense event-phases?
would that be ok?

Anything would be preferable. Did you read Squid game? I had to wake up every 5 hours to catch a stupid parachute, otherwise I would get flipped and players like Gamma who was counting on me to catch one for him got flipped because I didn’t refresh my browser fast enough. But at least we had a few days to choose our teams.

[ejjinami]

holy damn lmao
that's... hilarious and horrendeous at the same time XD

OUCH

[Firebringer]

parachutes were fun

[NotAHecticAlt]

take parachute

btw im preserving my posts for the voting phase so thats why im lurky rn

im fine with any team that doesnt have gamma/fb/toog/RR

[Enchant]

@Pooky

What if there's no teams at the end of deadline?

[Fidget]

lol ok, I think Loki and Aisa are 2 maf

What? Why?

[Enchant]

im the best enchant reader on the site and enchant has not towntold yet so theres a good possibility gamma just TMI'd them lmao

andante is different bc andante does that kind of read and its prob just a gut read

You have 20% accuracy of reading me...

Well Techically it still makes you best enchant reader, because others fail even more, so statement is true i guess...

[Fidget]

I don't think I've paid enough attention to the game since I've mostly skimmed, and even skipped quite a few pages, but I think I'd be wary of people trying to get into a group. I'd probably argue Penguin might be a good choice since they don't want to go.

I'm kinda meh on that reasoning. Penguin hasn't really

wanted

to do anything yet. Except sell bridges. He's very good at that, really good, he once sold, I think, 10 bridges??? He didn't even own them!

I don't have time to go through everything properly right now, but I will later tonight, and provide the requested details on my CSF read, promise.

In the meantime, I will say that my preferred team would be Ejj, Andante, Myself, Firebringer, Aisa, and Fidget.

Could swap one of 'em for Loki maybe. Haven't figured out a read on Enchant, Gamma, Penguin or Toogeloo yet.

Kinda reasonable. I still don't get the Andante read though RR!

Spoiler: RR on Andante

HEAL: Andante

I know she requested not to be one, but I find that those who seek positions of power are often not the sort of people I want in positions of power.

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.

Anyway, no one's yelled at me about it, and time is starting to become a relevant factor so.

HEAL: Ejjinami
Welcome to leadership

Who’s your preferred second vote rn?

Still probably Andante, nothing's really changed on my read there, and her tendency to obvtown is very good for leading.

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.

bahh why!!!!! I'm skeptical she's tending towards obvtowning, at least so far.

To briefly summarize on CSF, there was a Lot of mech spec fluff, which to me felt like it was intended to distract from the process of sorting out Town to elect as Leaders. Like, I get being sucked into mech rabbit holes, I do it all the time as both alignments, but in this case, all the fussing over what a leader may or may not do... It just wasn't relevant to the actual decision. And she wasn't alone in doing so, but it just... Struck me with her in a way that didn't with the others.

There was a lot of mech stuff early as opposed to other stuff, yeah, I agree. I don't know if CSF really talked about it an overblown amount IMO though.

I'm not sold on CSF town, I do kinda like how her gameplay seems more or less agendaless. There is no consistent narrative in the ISO, just individual thoughts and comments. That is something I tend to gravitate towards.

But you're not wrong that she has a lot of posts I would say are more adjacent to the main discussion since they were more mech based. And I think when you're commenting versus rallying/pushing, it's easier to go unnoticed as scum that way. I kinda wanted to put CSF as leader to put someone in the spotlight who might not usually be in it.. could be particularly revealing.

@Pooky

What if there's no teams at the end of deadline?

I will lock the thread and ask the leaders to give me teams.

[Andante]

sounds like a fun plan tbh... then we know who these leaders really TR....

[Gamma Emerald]

Pls tell me ur joking
I feel like doing that removes accountability to some degree

[PenguinPower]

I'm kinda meh on that reasoning. Penguin hasn't really wanted to do anything yet. Except sell bridges. He's very good at that, really good, he once sold, I think, 10 bridges??? He didn't even own them!

Only 5, but thank you.

[PenguinPower]

First town read.

[PenguinPower]

not quite true...loki is probably town too

[PenguinPower]

I'd probably argue Penguin might be a good choice since they don't want to go.

I could easily be scum saying that so that someone thinks exactly what you just said...that's not a good reason alone.

[PenguinPower]

VOTE: phase extensionVOTE: [v/]

really just wanna see if it works

[PenguinPower]

oops....urge to edit post rising

VOTE: phase extension

[Andante]

VOTE: No Phase Extension
We don't need more time!! we got this!!

[PenguinPower]

but...i wanna see what the "maybe' means

[Cat Scratch Fever]

pooky already heavily implied a phase extension isn't happening though

---

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

I might just do this and Aisa, who I'm kind of maybe on but I can't think of anyone better

Aisa was kind of just talking about the event initially, which I disliked, but she also had some townreads to share when I prompted her about it, so maybe she is just thinking about the game in her own lowkey way. She's also townread by my other townreads, so there's that.

That's weird because I don't think I did much mech spec at all after I initially got into the game

But you stated a scumread on me much later than that, towards the end of event one when people were pushing me for leader

[PenguinPower]

[*] A deadline extension may or may not be granted; just ask.

(for the sake of those who didn't read the rules btw)

The Game was "balanced" for the deadlines created we will not be doing any extensions unless something "catastrophic" happens.

mmmm...deceptive

[Andante]

what about instead of arguing over deadline extension we just talked about reads? a wild concept I know...

[PenguinPower]

Sure sure. Excluding some content from reads is productive. Got it. Love these wild concepts.

[PenguinPower]

Can I get a rubric or outline of what should be excluded or the relative value of content? Just want to make sure I'm doing this by the book.
