Micro 873 - Game Over

[Tim Goodman]

Blake, I think that what you're doing is very detrimental to town's chances of winning and I think that would be true even if you were correct on either myself or Quest being scum. I don't know for sure whether you're doing it because you're anxious town or because you're scum but you're heavily disrupting town's ability to work together.

[Skygazer]

i feel like blake was trying manipulate me into SRing quest and it doesnt sit right w me

[Blake Belladonna]

HURT: Blake Belladonna
HURT: Weiss Schnee
HURT: Skygazer
HURT: northsidegal
HURT: Sashaddin

[Blake Belladonna]

I'm just going to sheep my strongest townread when it's time to actually go through with a coalition.

I'll be around if anyone needs anything specific.

[Quest]

Jesus fucking christ.

[Blake Belladonna]

I'm not sure what to tell you?

[Quest]

Just forget it, it's incredibly disappointing; that's all.

[Tim Goodman]

So, are northsidegal and PvTurist going to flake?

[Sashaddin]

So, are northsidegal and PvTurist going to flake?

Are people more inclined to flake as town or as scum?

[Skygazer]

nsg better not flake i signed up because of her lol

[Quest]

You didn't sign up because of me?

[Tim Goodman]

I signed up because of Northsidegal too!

No, I actually didn't, but if it makes her come back I'll say that I did!

Math Fact: if a single town member refuses to enter coalitions, it becomes 350% more difficult for the town to form a successful coalition!

isn't math wonderful?

Math is wonderful, I'm a math teacher.
I don't understand your computation, I end up with 250% or 3.5x more. Unless this is what you meant? Anyways, it makes it a whole lot harder.

Phoneposting so probably gonna either spam a bit or get bored and stop

Replace “350% more” with “350% as”; I misspoke.

Bah, no biggie, I graded around a hundred exams yesterday, seems I was still in work mode when I came home!

[implosion]

HURT: Blake Belladona, Implosion
After reading through I'm not vouching for those two right now.

Y not (why not)?

Implosion: The general tone, a little of OMGUS for voting me, and I feel he's posting a lot for show (LAMIST?)

“Posting a lot for show” and lamist are absurd accusations given my iso is full of reads and content.

HURT: Blake Belladona, Implosion
After reading through I'm not vouching for those two right now.

Y not (why not)?

Blake: 90, 102, 152
I'm not saying I'm scumreading him for those posts, but if he wants out of the coalition that's fine by me I'll find someone else.

That doesn't seem like a great reason.

You're probably right, but this is my first coalition game so it made sense in my head. What's wrong about this?

This sequence seems really defensive in a strange way that I want to call bad but am not sure of. Quest wasn’t calling the reasoning scummy, she was calling it “not great” I.e. wrong. And sashaddins first instinct to having reasoning be called wrong is to say that it probably is wrong but it made sense in his head and ask what’s wrong with it and I guess I’m confused by the phrasing more than the content looking at it more. Not sure I can quite explain atm but the sequence of thoughts is just odd.

There’s actually likely nothing here bc I think I misread it slightly but I’m not deleting this paragraph

HEAL: Quest.
HEAL: Implosion.

HEAL: Tim Goodman.

HEAL: Blake.

VOTE: Sky.

HEAL: Sashaddin.

I've solved the game.

GG.

Do tell.

[Skygazer]

You didn't sign up because of me?

i mean did think it'd be cool to meet a new friend of anks!!

i also signed up to play with wagon and im salty that instead now i have to play with weiss

doesnt seem fair

[implosion]

I'm still not townreading Implosion. He feels more like he's trying to force himself to present as towny than that he's organically towny.
Not a strong read still but I feel like I should make that read known since several others seem to be townreading him.

I am strongly opposed to Implosion in coalition and somewhat opposed to Weiss in coalition.

This trajectory is starting to get on my nerves.

The best thing to do about it is probably talk more when we’re both in the thread and I’m not on phone but: your original read on me was reasonable. I think it’s totally reasonable to not-strongly not-townread me for that reason if you’re unfamiliar with my play. Where did this transition into strong opposition?

[implosion]

And like...

if he's town and those reads are all right, that means all scum are in Sashaddin, Weiss Schnee, and NSG. All lurking.

I'm not exactly enthusiastic that this game is THAT easy.

I’ve also been pretty unsold on Blake... and you forgot urist is in the game.

So I have 3 decent townreads. Sue me.

[implosion]

Dw skygazer, that's how I feel about Blake.

The irony.

[Quest]

HURT: Blake.

You're town, but I'm not wasting my time with you.

HEAL: Blake.

[Quest]

Do tell.

Maybe later, if I feel like it.

[Quest]

Actually, I'll do tell now. I won't go too much into it.

What's pinging you about implosion's tone?

Pre-150, he's very confident in his posts, strong out of the gate. Very affirmative and ... heavy (can't find a way to say it otherwise ).
Post 150, I find him more wobbly and less decisive.
I don't know if you catch what I'm trying to explain.

This was a super townie post to me. I can see where he's getting that read from. The tone here is especially townie to me as well, it truly did feel like he believed in his reasoning.

[implosion]

Hrm.

[Blake Belladonna]

Just popping in to say that I'm townreading that post mainly because I had a similar...ish trajectory to that posting and the way he phrased it felt like him trying to convey something he picked up on but didn't quite understand.

That type of posting is very hard to accurately fake as scum since there's a certain purity of it that is almost impossible to replicate.

[Sashaddin]

And sashaddins first instinct to having reasoning be called wrong is to say that it probably is wrong but it made sense in his head and ask what’s wrong with it and I guess I’m confused by the phrasing more than the content looking at it more. Not sure I can quite explain atm but the sequence of thoughts is just odd.

English as second language here, so the phrasing might be inaccurately describing my ideas... But here is what I thought:

A) Someone says he wants out of the coalition
B) I remove said person thinking it's ok
C) Someone tells me it's not a goood reasoning
D1) I'm not a great player and this is my first coalition, so I'm probably wrong with my course of action
D2) I'm trying to get an answer on how this is a mistake.
