Mini 1624: Joss Whedon Mafia: The Musical (Game Over)

[Medea the Alien]

I mean, I'm still town so if you're town it'll be you regretting you didn't etc etc dance waltz etc etc.


But yeah I've done a big steaming pile of fuckall, and I'm sad about that.


But at the same time I just moved halfway across the country in with the other head of this hydra, and she's veeeeery distracting.

[Murder of Crows]

Now, what do you think about my other reads?

This is your chance to dance.

[Medea the Alien]

I'm aware, I'm only conscious for about another 15-30, so do you have a preference of order?

[Murder of Crows]

And bullshit. I've tried to initiate convos with you and serra despite the crappy schedule I've had since game start and got fuckall back for my efforts.

[Murder of Crows]

I'm aware, I'm only conscious for about another 15-30, so do you have a preference of order?

The ones you disagree with.

[Medea the Alien]

Penguin and bed is soft and cuddly. (Also she was going to read up and help me read some players I suck at reading but that never happened and I was sort of waiting for that)

Playing out your reads with mine.

[Medea the Alien]

Anatole

- I have him more as town than as null. I see where you assign him scumpoints but I disagree they outweigh the type of play he's bringing to the game.

Mikuru/Arc

(Honestly I don't see why we don't modkill replacing out in such a way that practically confirms the slot, but then I remember 165)

Antihero

- I had antihero s strong town as of my last major effort, but this read has stagnated well pass the point of null. Town antihero is proactive in drawing town together and re-motivating people. This? This is letting us wallow in our misery. Which feels calculated inaction. But then again, the same argument could be made of me.

lynchmeplease/goblin

- Agree mostly with read, might be slightly weaker town than yours?

Boonskies

is hard for me to read. I actually find myself falling back to F2F memories from titus meet rather than the game I have with him in the past because of how... distracting... he was in that game as scum. The fact that he's choosing to lurk may mean he's town over scum creating a scene, but my deep metadiving days are limited for a while, so follow up if you'd like, or i'll handle it some day I feel less drained.

Greyice

feels town to me, specifically the way he went out of his way to call me hard town out the gate and then when challenged on it by me, articulate it instead of deflecting or dropping it.

Bassists

Where the fuck were you a while back when I wanted to string this shit from the trees? My scumread here is slightly weaker than before, but not terribly.

Riddleton/Yonce

Boring shades of null, mostly because like most players probably think of me, I don't really remember them having a game state impact.

Istott

is giving me feels like early lynx, as rough as that memory is. The newness feels calculated in a way I can't quite place.

Egg

What the fuck, I mean yeah I'm tired but I literally can't even think of what I want to call this staring at his posts.

Serra

IC, etc etc.

ffferypidgeon

60% town, and I'm not sure that even if this were higher, that I'd be able to derail a lynch on you today. The only real place I'd vote would be on bassists, wouldn't join you on egg today. Miiiight consider antihero but blegh.

Medea

You tell me. Is this cabd using his inactivity as a calculated form of dodging your arms race gains as scum, or am I really sitting in my new condo tired out of my mind, staying up specifically for this dance before crashing like crazy because regardless of your alignment this is important to have down ITT?

[Murder of Crows]

I don't care about my lynch at this point except in terms of hurt pride, but I own my part in this clusterfuck.

I want my reads in the game, I want them clarified, and above all I want to sort you because if you're scum, I want this mislynch to bite you and your team hard.

[Murder of Crows]

I don't understand what you mean with reference to egg.

I kinda like what you're saying about istott. I think that's probably what AP is picking up as well.

[Murder of Crows]

go to sleep. but be here to continue this tomorrow plz. time is short.

We may move our vote to hypno. depends on what AP thinks about my reads. I know he agrees with my thoughts about goblin, but we did another pass in the night thing today.

[Medea the Alien]

I don't understand what you mean with reference to egg.

I don't know either. I keep staring at his posts expecting myself to have feelings on them. But then I don't.

[serrapaladin]

Woo, I'm home all day waiting for some presents to be delivered, so FINALLY have time to do this.

I know this is probably a bad time to say this, but I don't think lynching the crows is a good plan for today. Independent of alignment, they'll keep this game alive, which is really what it needs. That, and the votes on them aren't particularly great.

UNVOTE:

[HypotheticalBassists]

GD and I are out due to workload and apathy, respectively. Really sorry guys. Kinda stopped paying attention on Saturday due to a conflict I won't talk about.

I think MiC is scum. GreyICE, istott, serra, Medea, and Riddleton's slot are town. Apparently something about AA9 replacing out makes her town, but I wasn't paying attention, so no comment on that.

Then by PoE and a gutscumread on MiC and LMP's slot, scum is in {MiC, Boon, Egg, Goblin}, and outside chance of {Antihero, Anatole}, as those are my weakest townreads.

Good luck, and good luck to our replacement.

/replace out

[HypotheticalBassists]

I can give a short explanation for any of those reads if you want, before mod finds a replacement for us.

Also
UNVOTE:

[serrapaladin]

AA9 / Mikuru are pretty much town. I think AA9's replace-out feels genuine, though she certainly misinterpreted my attitude towards her. Mikuru's catch up analysis seems legit and her reads are well-justified.

Anatole isn't really doing enough, but his reactions feel better than last game. His response to the alleged townslip is not what I would expect from him as scum.

[Anatole Kuragin]

Yeah I'm in the middle of transitioning jobs right now on top of getting ready to leave for holiday related stuff today so my activity won't really be much better until after this weekend probably. Sorry about that.

[Egg]

Murder, you asked me for my read on you. I'm having trouble getting a strong one either way. Both of your heads are good players and I may have to rely on associatives (or lack of them) and process of elimination to decide if you are scum or not. Unfortunately though, at this point, none of my reads are all that strong.

Grey's Arc vote sucks, but I think he might be the kind of player to policy vote for bad reasons as town. Can someone confirm/deny that they've seen him do this?

Huh. Murder not wanting to be seen as "tryhard" seemed out of character, but I gave it a pass for being early game. Now, on Page 21, it's back with an apology. Possibly appeasing Antihero? I dunno. Weird vibes.

Goblin makes zero sense. Still townreading the slot though.

Yonce, why don't you like being scum?

Grey/serra/ist, can you guys explain the boonskies wagon?

Murder, I find it interesting that you think I'm scum with two of my scum reads. Also, going process of elimination feels weird when you have decent points on Antihero, Hypo, and maybe even LynchMe (Goblin at the time of the post I'm reading).

Will start at Page 24 when I can. No sleep. Son's doctor appointment in 30 min. Working 16 and a half hours today and tomorrow. I'll see what I can do.

[serrapaladin]

Medea and crows need sorting, but I would suggest that's probably not best accomplished by lynching one of them today.

I'm not particularly interested in lynching egg or bassist. Yonce is still town, too.

If Istott has any sort of real experience and awareness of his play, he may be very hard to read indeed. I'm still leaning town, but need further consideration.

Regarding Grey, does anyone have any experience with his attitude as both alignments? Generally, I would label him town, but I'm wary of him hiding behind his rage-meta, and he's not done much else.

[serrapaladin]

Goblin makes zero sense. Still townreading the slot though.

Why?

@ffery: what do you think of people replacing out? Egg not confirming? Grey's rage? Anatole denying his 'townslip'? Goblin's level of experience? istott's?

Appendix
1 Coincidentally I look down on a few of you in this game because my entry post is something I would never EVER make as scum because its the kind of post that has potential negative ramifications (drawing attention to yourself) and almost no positives ones. But ya go ahead and read bullshit into a post that probably shouldn't be looked at twice in the first place. Derp.

:/

Why?

@ffery: what do you think of people replacing out? Egg not confirming? Grey's rage? Anatole denying his 'townslip'? Goblin's level of experience? istott's?

Aside from AA9 the replace-outs mostly look null to me, though the replace out that riddleton rescinded looked pretty town. The hypno replace out is probably the scummiest because of the timing.

I'm thinking about what Cabd said about the inexperience feeling a little played up. I think he and AP are kinda on the same page with that, so that read softened after I posted it. AP also is feeling less critical of Anti right now than I do, so the consensus there also softens. It's possible I'm just feeling pissy about the way he's encouraged our wagon without putting his vote on us.

Anatole denying his townslip gave me townfeels. Like I said, the read has slipped to null mostly because his effort feels off (as either town or scum) from the bits of experiential meta I have with him. I haven't paid any attention to Goblin's level of experience. I'll have a look. I'm mostly townreading him from LMP's posts.

[Egg]

Serra, Goblin's posts looked clueless, not scummy. Lynchme's posts looked town. Put the two together and you have a town read.

[Murder of Crows]

Murder, I find it interesting that you think I'm scum with two of my scum reads. Also, going process of elimination feels weird when you have decent points on Antihero, Hypo, and maybe even LynchMe (Goblin at the time of the post I'm reading).

I think you're assuming a level of team-hunting that I seldom do, especially without flips. I noted the possibility you were bussing one of my other scumreads, You jumped off that vote at around the time boonskiis voted AA9, making allowances for your current schedule/life events. The jump off timing is what made me wonder if it could be backing off a bus. The vote sentiment around us was starting to swell, though it was later before more votes actually hit the game thread.

p-edit gah.

I like your defense of LMP.

Unvote:

I want an actual reads synch before I/AP put our vote back down.

[serrapaladin]

The hypno replace out is probably the scummiest because of the timing.

What about them still giving reads upon replacing out?

[Anatole Kuragin]

Hypno is probably #2 scum for me after murder

[Egg]

Ok more reading.

Goblin continues to confuse me. Murder's response to him makes sense as either alignment. Annoying that none of this is telling, but it's the only thing going on for a solid page or two and I just can't pull anything from it.

Ist feels off around the time Boon comes back. Not really sure why. I mean, maybe it's a little beetlejuicy and a littly appeasey. I dunno. My gut really doesn't like it though.

Can someone explain the Murder case to me?

Medea, how does Murder not have a presence in this game? I feel like every other post is from them. And why does Arc's replace out confirm that slot?

Murder, I wasn't caught up so the timing of my unvote should mean absolutely nothing unless you think I'm lying about losing my internet (it's back now by the way), working 16 hour days, and having a baby for an excuse to lurk strategically (which I still don't understand) in this game.

Vote Hypo

I like this better than a Murder lynch.
