Mini 1630: Edgar Allan Poe uPick GAME OVER!

Vote Count 1.5

She ceas'd—and buried then her burning cheek
Abash'd, amid the lilies there, to seek
A shelter from the fervour of His eye;
For the stars trembled at the Deity.
She stirr'd not—breath'd not—for a voice was there
How solemnly pervading the calm air!
A sound of silence on the startled ear
Which dreamy poets name "the music of the sphere."
Ours is a world of words: Quiet we call
"Silence"—which is the merest word of all.
All Nature speaks, and ev'n ideal things
Flap shadowy sounds from visionary wings—
But ah! not so when, thus, in realms on high
The eternal voice of God is passing by,
And the red winds are withering in the sky!

Brantz, you say it feels like town vs town regarding me then that you don't how you feel about me. Do you mean my lynch request?

Yeah, Your play is confusing to me. I am pretty sure you are town, I just don't know how I feel about you being that. If that makes any sense.

[BRantz]

EBWOP: Also appologies, for the most part that post is a bit stream of consciousness as I read through the thread. So some things in it may be a bit contradictory.

[PurloinedLetter]

I don't understand why people are scumreading cask. Brantz and cat, explain please.
Kthx and catastrophe scumreads are definitely understood.

I don't understand why people are scumreading cask. Brantz and cat, explain please.

Let me guide you back to my readslist, where I gave reasoning for my Cask read.

Kthx and catastrophe scumreads are definitely understood.

...nope, I have no idea why you're scumreading us. I can't wait to find out though.

CaskOfAmontillado (This thing is pretty close to null, really, but I'm just not really a fan of it so far. Make me believe, please.)

Ftfy

I want an explanation. 'I don't like it so far' is not an explanation, that is close to the definition of a scumread.

I more or less scumread you for the fact that your reads are mostly echoed from others and that the only new thing you bring to the table, a medea scumread, is heavily underexplained, again.

You didn't fix anything, actually.

That slot is at nullscum because a lot of its posts made me mildly uneasy, such as sthar talking to Krystal about the PR. <--- That is called a gut read. It's a perfectly viable, acceptable and useful way of reading people in Mafia.

But, actually, I'd have assumed that was somewhat obvious - given that, in the initial read, it's clearly stated the slot is closer to null than scum and no specific posts are given (a la Kthx) so it's a general thing. I would find these assumptions pretty elementary to make.

Clearly it was more difficult than it seemed to me.

I more or less scumread you for the fact that your reads are mostly echoed from others and that the only new thing you bring to the table, a medea scumread, is heavily underexplained, again.

I am in awe of how stunningly bad a reason this is to scumread someone.

Can you explain the problem you have here? Is it the bit where my reads are the same as others?

I hate to shatter your paradigm of this game - but that's not a reason to scumread someone. It's not even

close.

I have no idea what you wanted here - did you believe that we simply couldn't have the same reads as others, or some other nonsense like that?

Or could it be

many of the reads are the same because they're not opinion-based reads, they're claim-based reads, which are pretty clearly being universally townread?

Did you consider that once? Or did you consider that the Medea scumread, for example, doesn't have a huge amount of content because

we're 8 pages into the game and the hydra is V/LA?

-TSO

[Catastrophe]

That's not even checking out his facts or doing any kind of disprovals - it's possible that nobody had really stated this set of reads before and Tier is wrong, but I don't really care, the post would still be bad enough for me to dismiss.

[PurloinedLetter]

Lol, upset much

[Catastrophe]

Krystal, you can vote can't you? And if so, can you try to explain why you haven't voted anybody yet?

--tool

[Krystal Bald]

Ha! She thinks [PurloinedLetter] is talking out of his ass! Right?

<3 Krystal

*Smiles and shrugs. Holds hands close together.*

Krystal, you can vote can't you? And if so, can you try to explain why you haven't voted anybody yet?

*Points at herself. Forms two mouths with her two hands. She looks back and forth as the left mouth flaps its trap and the right mouth stays shut. Points at the right mouth, then at her wrist and taps her foot.*
*Points at Catastrophe. Places her right hand palm-up and waits, staring.*

[Krystal Bald]

*Points at CaskOfAmontillado. Taps wrist and foot impatiently. Uses two fingers to imitate a pair of legs and runs them out of the room.*

*Points at Faster Than Light. Smiles brilliantly and gives a thumbs-up.*

*Points at Ghatokaca's only post. Points at the last four letters of his name.*

*Points at PurloinedLetter with her left hand and Catastrophe with her right hand. Does the mouth thing again. Looking at the left hand, she dons a scowl that deepens as the conversation wears on. Then, looking to the right hand, she begins to cheer and even shows the slightest hint of a smile.*

*Points at BRantz. Sits on an imaginary chair and pats his lap, beaming.*

[Catastrophe]

Lol, upset much

I think it's just called being right.

[Faster Than Light]

Yay, I got a brilliant smile!

Not much to comment on here. Still dunno how to feel about Catastrophe.
Still feeling how I'm feeling pretty much everywhere. Game slowed down a whooole bunch.

[copper223]

mod please prod CaskOfAmontillado

[Bookitty]

@Lynx: In your view, is it better not to full-claim your power prior to your lynch?

[LynxKuroneko]

@Bookitty - I do think there are valid reasons to not give away what it does, at least not this early.

[fferyllt]

CaskOfAmontillado has been prodded.

[LynxKuroneko]

Unvote

Also want to say that Policy Lynch's loverize ability (granted we believe them) will most likely be swayed by the outcome of my lynch.

[Bookitty]

In my opinion, we have only two real choices regarding Lynx.

We can accept that he's town (I think he's town) and lynch someone scummy. I think it likely Lynx will be the nightkill; if that occurs, Lynx says his after-death actions are lost to us. Still, it gives us a better chance of hitting scum today which might be more critical for winning the game overall. If Lynx is a jester, something I don't believe, this would also be a preferable plan.

We can accept that Lynx is town and lynch him anyway to get the greatest value from his after-death abilities. I lean toward this plan because I trust Lynx both to be town and to have the best idea of how his ability will work.

Still not voting him, but I feel pretty certain I will be.

[LynxKuroneko]

This makes me happy.

[Policy Vote]

Popping in to say there may be a solution here that gets the best of both worlds.

Also, I mostly agree with the read lists that have been posted. I think Cask is my top scumread at the moment, but I would want to review before making a definitive statement.

[Policy Vote]

Ah, actually, my plan doesn't work. Never mind.

[copper223]

Yup Boo's town, can't really say much cause I'm waiting for CoA but I disagree with some thoughts though.

[Bookitty]

Ah, actually, my plan doesn't work. Never mind.

-Ceph

I think I was thinking along the same lines but then realised timing is everything
