Mini Normal 2169 : random facts, game over !

[Menalque]

He’s probably scum and this whole game is a sick joke where datisi, teacher, and icon all rolled scum without me to torture me in the postgame

[Menalque]

What are neighbors?

We have a PT. we’re not confirmed town to each other

[Menalque]

List all vt claims and I can get a poe going

I'm really low on time and weekend vla and stuff

Literally everyone other than bob who has claimed follower, and teacher who hasn’t claied

[Menalque]

This game is a loss iconeum, idk why you’re trying

[Menalque]

Write it off and shitpost until the sun goes down

[Menalque]

and I still stand by my opinion that there are fake vts.

Never

[Menalque]

So how does claiming neighbor clear either of u if u dont know each others alignment...?

It... does not? But equally there has to be town power SOMEWHERE and apparently it’s us

Esp given how stupidly townsided most normals are these days

[Menalque]

Icon, pt

[Menalque]

He’s not claiming N2

[Menalque]

No, i claimed vt as part of a plan and then icon trueclaimed our neighbourhood and stopped that from being possible

[Menalque]

You should claim N1

[Menalque]

Wait no, I take that back

[Menalque]

He can’t target the same person 2 consecutive nights

[Menalque]

Icon is noraa town or scum

[Menalque]

Save us townsided setups

Let’s say this

Mena
Icon
Bob
TGP, noraa

Alonzo
iamausername
Datisi
teacher

[Menalque]

Actually maybe Alonzo and iaaun should be same tier

[Menalque]

Icon is noraa town or scum

Scummy town

Okay

Can we elim teacher today then?

[Menalque]

Why iaaun town

[Menalque]

I don’t think iaaun has been townposting

Iaaun has been nullposting, which is to say scumposting

He doesn’t ping me as actively scummy, rather his posts have all given me exactly zero feeling and I think that’s probably +scum

[Menalque]

I honestly wonder if bob is slightly +town too for the VT bunno kill on N1

[Menalque]

Actually looking at his iso I really don’t think iaaun is town at all

[Menalque]

Maybe worse than datisi and teacher even?

[Menalque]

Prof

Nora isn't being Flipper

You of datsi however

Ico I only read proper english

I speak dragon, hang on:

Professor,

I regret to inform you that the player typically referred to as "Noraa" is not a candidate for being flipped today: that is to say, a candidate who will be voted until the point that she is eliminated and her role revealed publicly.

However, I must inform you that you yourself, or the player going by "datisi" are candidates for said procedure of being flipped today.

Yours Sincerely,
Iconeum D. Ragonboi

[Menalque]

VOTE: iaaun

[Menalque]

There are 6 vt claims, we might get a guilty in the VTs from bob and we have one more misflip before gylo in a pool of 6 names

That means we only need one solid town player in that group, maybe we need a second one

[Menalque]

So what we really need to do (that is to say, me, icon, and bob) is decide who are the two most likely slots to be town who we’re betting the gsme on

[Menalque]

At this point I would lean towards the solve being 3/4 of (prof, dats, iaaun, alonzo) leaving TGP and noraa as our clears

[Menalque]

If we’re relatively happy that TGP is town then all we need to do is choose between noraa and alonzo for who we’re betting the second slot on

I’m personally leaning noraa still but I don’t mind alonzo being done if it’s not winning doing (iaaun, professo, datisi)

[Menalque]

I sort of think alonzo trying to insert myself/icon back into the guillopool is +scum tbh

[Menalque]

Although his takes are likely slightly too bizarre for me to really think he’s scum atp

[Menalque]

I think I scumread iaaun the most but professor is prob the most fruitful flip

VOTE: professor mafia

[Menalque]

just ftr if this does flip town (and if I die) prob kill alonzo tomorrow > datisi

[Menalque]

I still mostly think TGP and noraa town > (datisi, prof, alonzo, iaaun) tbh

but equally I'm aware that TGP could have been pocketing me v hard on D1 and I may not have recovered from that, so take that with a pinch of salt. I'd also suggest rereading noraa v BM tomorrow if this flips town before any hasty votes

[Menalque]

rip

shall we all just agree scum won?

also, who is infinity an alt of

[Menalque]

Nah just spectating

intriguing

[Menalque]

I have no redactions from the neighbourhood pt btw

[Menalque]

but it was definitely within the "balanced" range

[Menalque]

it was far too town sided. I meant when I said we should all just agree that scum won this, because they by all intents and purposes did, and literally only lost because of a glaring setup imbalance that fucked them in lylo

I've already said this to gypyx in the dead PT, so he knows that this isn't an issue I have with his design, but I do not think this setup should ever have passed the NRG as it stands

[Menalque]

on the plus side, Datisi note thread is 10 pages long, so if you'll excuse me

[Menalque]

ok so if mena is a mason, he's going to crumb it. let's see, what games did he play in that had masons...

that game that tris modded with a backup mason
newbie 1992
that newbie where bugs/clidd were masons
mini 2157 i guess???
uhhhh calendar had masons i think??????

though would he crumb the same way if he knows i know how he crumbs, hmm...

fuck, she knows me too well

however, more fool her bc I uhhh forgot to crumb my role this game lmao

[Menalque]

note to self: if datisi doesn't post triangle quickly, datisi scum

*nods*

[Menalque]

and by "decent scumplayer" i mean "my partners carried me in 1949 and 892"

shut up, we both know that's not true

[Menalque]

datisi, I feel like the fundamentally stressful thing for you when you roll scum is that you assume you will be scumread and not townread

[Menalque]

don't play in the normal queue? like.

bingo

[Menalque]

datisi, I feel like the fundamentally stressful thing for you when you roll scum is that you assume you will be scumread and not townread

am i wrong tho

ehhhhhhhhhhhh

hmm, idk, like, I just feel like the stress compounds when you worry about getting scumread. for a few scum games now, I've just taken the approach of "I will simulate my towngame and even if people scumread me early they'll end up townreading me because I strongly project town regardless of alignment" and then that attitude makes it easier for me to relax and shrug off people who SR me and just keep doing my thing (which then gets town read)

like I feel like your reaction to the bunno/shelly SRs on your slot was stronger because you worry about getting caught, and that then maybe makes it easier for people who are onto you to see your panic and realise they're right?

[Menalque]

gypyx is a very solid mod, and this sense has only been compounded by the quality of his shitposting in the datisi notes PT

[Menalque]

still not entirely convinced that infinity isn't a hectic alt :suspicious:

[Menalque]

look forwards to playing you all again.

uh

I got some bad news for you, homie

[Menalque]

>the entire scum team pre-game: hmm, mena could be a good N1 kill or a threat to us
>mena: defends 2 scum, hardtunnels town, and gets into a huge TvT fight with BM
>the entire scumteam: ehhhh, hold that thought

[Menalque]

Also, I’m so happy to see that my horrendous misplay of getting paranoid of icon in 0.003ms actually deeply confused the scumteam and makes me feel less bad about it all

This is why you make outrageous fakeclaims as VT folks, keep em guessing when you roll PR

[Menalque]

367-371 hmmmmm

[Menalque]

I was honestly quite suprised that the scumteam didn't even think about that being true

Fortunately, I have a reputation when it comes to memeclaims at the start of games

[Menalque]

Subject: Mini Normal 2169 : Mafia Thread

For Mena - postgame, I appreciate the defense

I had an intuition that the balance was fucked so thought I’d help out
