Large Normal 241: Random Pictures and Other Stuff | Day 8

[marcistar]

what question

[Gamma Emerald]

how would you describe your play this game so far, marci?

[GuiltyLion]

@marci

do you really think this is out of character for Gamma?

can you just give me a thought on why this strikes you as off because I do not share that impression and you know Gamma better than I do

[obscure]

anyone here to real time for a few?

at first i didn't like how long these days were but now it's become a huge blessing.

[Gamma Emerald]

tbh I think GL might actually know me better than marci when it comes to how I act in the game

[ConManMick]

Spoiler: his comments

the egos who think they're beyond being elimmed

who is this comment about?

Pedit yeah maybe it wasn't a nice way to say it but all that shit you have to say about your fantastic leading games from the back of your own wagon just rubs me the wrong way

so I thought it didn't make a lot of sense for you to push me to sort me in this game because I don't think anyone's really caught me as scum by wagoning me.

I don't think you would think of me as a scum player who can be sorted with pressure or solved with pressure.

in fact it's almost dangerous in a way to push scum me because I am fairly decent at looking

good

and gaining thread control by getting people to vote for me I think.

and this is something you're

aware of

because you stated you didn't want to give me reasoning for the push because you are worried scum me can just judo flip you and kill you easily because ripping apart bad cases is very easy for me and people here have seen me do it as town to scum and mercilessly kill them. You would be essentially giving me the tools to kill you if I was scum with very little gain or upside for yourself. You can't get me to be yeeted without providing very solid reasoning and you don't have the reasoning or ammo to put into the push.

So why would you push me here if you suspect I'm scum? I actually kind of think you wouldn't if you thought I was scum because you simply don't have the thread influence or reasoning to make a push that is likely to kill me and if you're not likely to kill me then why do I even care? You're basically giving me free weapons and making me look better atp.

Like I don't know what your intent here is but it just rankles me, it reads like "don't try to sort me because I am simply too good at this game" and maybe I'm just missing context from your previous game that you're referencing, but when I see those kind of "a wagon on me is useless" posts it just makes me want to hit the big red button.

I guess my issue with his thought process here is that I don't think he organically comes up with this on his own as he's never really played with me like ever?

I have a theory that someone in the scum pt told CMM that he wasn't going to get me limmed so he should just move his vote somewhere else and do something useful and that's where his frustration with me stems from.

I'm not sure it's frustration rooted in "ari is scum and nobody believes me" so much as frustration in "she's playing so badly and scummily but nobody wants to vote her" and the later feels like more of a scum thought process to me.

I don't feel that certain about this so I'm p ok with voting somewhere else if you want to do something else.

Breaking news: Man too stupid to be an asshole all by himself, live from our reporter in the field
Tell my mam I'm on TV
Like I still read your stuff as this sort of reflexive "oh I'm not worth looking at" that just strikes me as an attempt to stay under the radar

Yeah I guess you're asking me more about marci as a person here rather than the generic player in the game and I don't know marci like that. I do t have a meta read or whatever, on most of the players here in fact, so I'm gonna deal with what's in front of me. And what's in front of me reads at best as a sort of vague indifference ranging to posting for the sake of being seen, and that just strikes me as anti town.

I know it's not a meta read. I guess what I'm getting is that Marci doing one liners seems pretty blatantly NAI for her - I really don't think anyone posts one liners specifically as scum only - and I find it difficult to believe it's a real read for you. I'm asking you to clarify why you believe Marci would play differently as town, even if you think she's behaving in an anti town way.

What's the objective of the game here, what's town's wincon? Does joining a game to shitpost through strike you as a town thing to do? I will say thank you for clarifying the question. I'll give you this, it looks like Marci is actually engaging with the game now in a meaningful way. I'm sticking to my guns here, the posting just looks like "I'm here too" which in a large game especially, where there are a lot of people to focus on, is convenient when the focus isn't on you. So yeah I think legit read. Idk if I'm articulating this well.

I feel like I’ve seen someone describe me like this in a game once
Was it you?

i have zero impressions of your scumgame so it was not me

i kinda don't wanna yeet baltar solely because i feel like he gets more readable as the game goes on, but we can't do that if he's yeeted. and i am thinking he might be scum rn but like i always think that early on. yes i am aware that this does not help the concerns that we're scumbuddies that ari has but what can you do really.

for the record i don't think ari's tinfoil theory on conman is very likely to be true, *however* it does touch into my problems with the dude, in that his emotions kinda mismatch with his actions and reads. like idk, 2245 feels weird because why is he being snarky towards me? i'm not voting him, (even if i was, the post still doesn't make sense,) he didn't have a townread on dann, and the post itself would make you think that he has been pushing a scumcase on someone for like 3 years but even after i poke him about it, he says basically nothing about aristeia.

I got snarky with you because I was being snarky at VP because I was drunk and being an asshole. De-stressing is not at the bottom of a bottle, my bad to everyone, initial phrasing of my ari case included.

TLDR on GL:

-Shading and making pedantic arguments with people that aren't scumhunting. Evil intentions!
- Readlist stinks to high heaven.
- Too afraid to live his own life. Wants excuses in the future when he's on a misyeet D1.

I could get behind this, quoting the tl;dr but you make a good case

ConManMick, I meant to follow up with another question but I think you missed the first one.

I asked you why you voted Ari because i think it's a bit suspicious when you could have wagoned the eira slot which you scumread and also who dann replaced
you followed it up with an "iso" on dann that i thought didn't make a bit of sense and the conclusion that dann was town and a bad wagon came out of nowhere. i wanted you to expound on that.

The eira slot is kinda low hanging fruit, like I said it sucked initially but I kinda like dann in that slot. There are a few posts that I don't like so much though. My gut was elsewhere so I went elsewhere. It feels to me like the case on dann is largely a sort of sitemeta argument of who's more likely to flake from a game, town or scum? And that just seemed like a convenient wagon for folks to climb on, I wanted to see dann play

[humaneatingmonkey]

And that just seemed like a convenient wagon for folks to climb on

[Datisi]

@guiltylion, what do you think about marci compared w HDP? i feel like we've been comparing firebringer a lot to it, but we didn't even mention marci haha

i mean i think answering something like would be p trivial to fake as scum, its just a bad question so i ignored it the first time

[scamper]

anyone here to real time for a few?

at first i didn't like how long these days were but now it's become a huge blessing.

do u have thoughts on the current wagons?

Quick check back at the peak of the wagon from VCs is you, datisi, gl, firisred, frog
Datisi I think is town
You and fire I don't really know but this is what I mean with it being a convenient one to push the boat out on
GL after reading VP's case I could see scum
Frog I already have expressed I think the slot is bad

Do I think this is 1 townie and 4 scum on a 5 person wagon? I'm not so stupid as Iook, so no. Do I think it's a bad wagon? Yeah, I think at best it's lazy and doesn't really help us

[ConManMick]

And not self concious because I don't want on that wagon
