Mini 2270: Spring Fling!

[Prism]

I get what you're saying. My point is that I don't grab a shield. I don't need one. I grab a two-handed claymore and get to work. I give someone else the shield.

[Andante]

Dogs are very loyal if you play with them. This is true.

are you suggesting I'm just gonna auto TR prism? lol I'm not scared to just leave the dance... it's called I just read everyone else, and prism gets the alignment that's left, and that's only gonna matter if we don't become a nightkill

[Noraa]

it's kind of a whole maze of a minefield

once there's a PT minefield goes to the PT, soooo I guess don't really worry about it? idk, I do a lot of thinking out loud, say first thing on my mind, and that's kinda that, and hey, I'll hit 200 posts then completely shut up for all yall

prism and you will dance through the minefield :0 I hope your pt is all town because that would be interesting to read postgame

lol well I'm told Prism doesn't believe in using PTs... so it'll probably just be my thoughts, and if Prism talks it's them going "smh... so bad"

[Prism]

I literally am not going to post in the PT lmao

Maybe I'll post some 20s waltzes or videos of a maxixe

[Andante]

I literally am not going to post in the PT lmao

challenge accepted!!! I'm sure you WILL!!! no one said it had to be game related!!! wooooooo or if you don't I guess it'll just be The Andante Show... which would be a little sad...

[Prism]

No reaction to the pairing itself, Bell?

You're not both scum together.

Other than that, It's just a jumble of projections. I don't think Andante is a bad partner if you had a gun to your head and had to choose one within the first 10 pages. I do think you can easily manipulate her if you're scum though and I find the odds of her choosing to go down with you to be much lower than the opposite outcome where you realize she's scum and just choose to killer her in 2 or 3 game days.

[Prism]

Can we leave Bell out lmao

[Prism]

I know I chased him down the block for it, and he openly admits it's a jumble

but that's a bunch of random pairing speculations with zero attempt to actually weigh in on or gauge whether the proposal/acceptances themselves were indicative for either individual

also I didn't even think about S/S until you brought it up, that pairing would actually have a ton of potential lmao

[Bell]

In terms of Andante themselves I think I lean town on them just based on their current presentation and you seem relatively self-controlled so far, which just leaves me with a null read. As you say, you like Mafia a lot and you can talk about yourself a lot, so I feel if I ask you how your approach to mafia has changed from 2021 to 2022 I would get a novel in response and I don't think I'd be any closer to figuring it out other than waiting until you slip into habits, if you ever do or if I even understand you.

[Bell]

I don't really think it's in character for you to make a proposal like that so quickly but if you were going to make a proposal I think you would do it with the aim of pairing with a town's member and they had a lot of posts at the time, some might have even been very AI for them.
Andante immediately taking you up on the offer..I haven't thought about it but my intuition is that I'm not sure what else you'd expect from Andante given how they choose to present themselves to the world.
I guess they could have faked paranoia if they were scum, but I wouldn't know for sure if that's how they'd approach it as scum or not. Ultimately they didn't though, but that might be How I'd expect them too.

[Prism]

so I feel if I ask you how your approach to mafia has changed from 2021 to 2022 I would get a novel in response

This one's actually very short.

It hasn't.

[Prism]

I just realized that you said 2021-2022, or one year.

I actually thought you said 2012-2022, as in a full decade.

Same answer though.

[Ydrasse]

bell stonks rapidly rising

[Dunnstral]

I know im playing with fire but me asking ydrasse to dance vs prism asking andante.
one is extremely scummy and the equivalent of "anyone want to dance?"
but the other is like apparently so towny that the dance is happening.

how does that make sense

Who has decreed the first extremely scummy and the other extremely towny?

[fireisredsir]

bell stonks rapidly rising

town stonks or scum stonks

[fireisredsir]

idk if it's there not being votes or what but im not really seeing much that stands out as AI so far

maybe ill try rereading and pay more attention this time

[Dunnstral]

I lean town on Andante, I agree that this seems like how they play as town. I am uneasy about Prism due to posts 40 and 74. I don't really believe that they think they will really get policy voted off of very little at the very end of the game. Or that they won't even try to defend themselves. So that rubs me the wrong way right away because it doesn't feel like something that would be followed up on, or like a real commitment.
As for their pairing with Andante, just having Prism making moves this early makes me nervous when combined with the above, as I can see this as setting up for later.

[Prism]

40 was a joke that I did not anticipate to actually get taken up, but it's legitimately a viable strategy.

You also definitely know that, delusional or not, 175 is dead serious and legitimately reflects my own beliefs.

[Dunnstral]

I'm not commenting on 175

I'm saying that you proposing to somebody makes me suspect that you might have a plan you are working with, and that makes me nervous

[Prism]

Well, alright then, but it's also not like I'm known for my passive townplay, and while aggressive early in D&C I was openly sandbagging Day 1 because I thought it'd be fun.

Either way I'll go to bed rather than create a back/forth web. I'm skeptical that you overshoot so several in your reaction to D&C, from virtually no respect to earth-shaking, but maybe I'm wrong...and I am willing to wait!

[Andante]

Andante immediately taking you up on the offer..

you say that like you think I'd actually wait to make a decision... like, what? you expected me to sit here for 48 hours? lol nahhh we're going for it!!! A partner that isn't gonna force me to solve in the hood? heck yeah!!

also not sure why there's all this prism alignment talk... there's a gentleman that won't have a partner, and will then leave the game... might want to start just focussing on who is getting left behind tbh

[Prism]

In Bell's defense I was the one who asked and challenged him on his lack of Andante/Prism reaction

This may very well be the worst take.
