Mini 2228: Isekai uPick - Endgame

[Cabd]

If I go out please with a bang not a wimper.


Thread is dead and people who are not me should go ahead and discuss this stuff out not just prod dodge to deadline :/

[Cabd]

You were asked a question by Kate cabd and I wanted to see the answer

Which? Did I miss one?

[Cabd]

Oh, I skipped that because I'd already sort of answered it before it was asked in that I'm afraid to do that and be wrong about Luke, and brain short-circuits at the idea of "it wasn't Luke now you have to fight a losing battle in 4P and get to be THE REASON the game ends"

But as LLD mentioned that's maybe me being like, I dunno, selfish?

[Cabd]

I'll be around after kiddo falls asleep this evening.

And I'll go ahead and play the dolt and ask LLD to elaborate since none of the rest of you intend to.

[Cabd]

That seems... Unlikely?

But dreams generally aren't logical!

[Cabd]

Yikes, imagine being in this game and deathly afraid of a fringe scenario that haunts you to your core.

That would SUCK.

[Cabd]

Soooo, where are we going with this?

Other than in circles.

[Cabd]

Soooo, where are we going with this?

Other than in circles.

I have another wall to write up.

I think I've broken my circle, at least to some extent.

How about you?

I still struggle to think of how it cannot be luke.

I guess I'm mostly waiting for the rest of you all to pick a god(dess/flugel), and pray.

[Cabd]

restaurant to another world season 2

Aka "Fuck you now I'm hungry and want cheesecake"

[Cabd]

followed by a quick realization that being good at school is actually a bit meaningless in the real world

Spoiler:

Same, failed out of a full ride because test taking well did not lead to actually enjoying university or the work of that type, now I'm in IT with no formal degree!

[Cabd]

VOTE: Luke

Fine.

Just please let it be over.

I'll call the bluff.

[Cabd]

Oh, that's e1, should I claim? ~~

Oh cheeky.


Thank Arceus my suffering is finally over.

I appreciate you not taking the time to troll me by claiming you were town.

Extremely well played man. You really had us going there.

[Cabd]

Why didn't you guys protect gamma? Did gamma think he'd be able to double fake us out or what?

[Cabd]

I'm going to finally get a sound nights sleep.

This shit kept giving me vivid nightmares.

[Cabd]

"Dead Crier" is the remaining words.

Gif is lying. 150 character dead crier.

N1 power unknown.

N1 game is correct but GiF is not in dead thread. N2 game as claimed by GiF is made up.

-Titus

The thing is, if that's not Titus, then Dunn or Gamma made a DEAD RINGER for exactly the way titus speaks, as putting the role claim in the already limited character set would be something most people just don't do. But that's her to a T.

I came into this thread expecting to have to case ffery and then die anyways for the loss as per my exact nightmare scenario statement, but now I don't know what to think...

Also, Night Three game was isekai battleship (aka regular battleship but with isekai characters to place in lieu of the traditional ships)

Wheme got stuff from our series, so he had to place Sora, Steph, Kurami, Feel, and Izuna. (5/4/3/3/2 respectively)

We managed to hit two characters from Dunn's series, in his case the 5-slot Rimiru (The Protagonist), and the three-slot character Ranga (the direwolf)

My fancy dancy "help out role" was bullshit and I'm actually mad about it, all I got to do was give yes or no feedback on if I agreed with a shot. I also enabled wheme to get the first turn instead of it being a coinflip or whatever other method that they were gonna use. No actual communication with wheme despite the hints in my flavor otherwise. I don't know who eventually won, Wheme lost in round one to some lucky plays by Dunn.

Both game one (as claimed by Gif/backed up by this crier) and game three (as I witnessed) revolved around actual anime isekai things/flavor. The night two thing being "guess the elim" does indeed feel out of sorts.

[Cabd]

I don't know. But if this is a scum fakeout play, they've captured Titus' narrative voice, and the use of said crier is extremely less efficient than just going "we have a dead-cop hard guilty on gif lol" or something.

I'm also not sure if the mod would allow a message, even garbled such as this, to be let through with a signature like that, or if that's bastard.

I've submitted the question to the mod, we'll see what they say.

[Cabd]

Like literally the fact that I knew what N1 game was is a proof that I was indeed in dead thread.

But.... none of the living know what the night one game is?

Unless...Are YOU silhouette?

[Cabd]

If we're murdering me anyways please just don't drag it out, but uh, I think that's actually Titus there.

What a plot twist that it was gif and not Kate or LLD.

Carrying me to xylim would have worked out perfectly, too, as everyone was primed to kill me and the Kate kill points directly to me.

[Cabd]

I kind of want to no eliminate but I'm very concerned that I'll be the one shot tonight for no good reason lol

This risks a potential night four game that could immediately end the entire shendig if scum win it. I sadly think you need to pick between me and gif here.

And like I said, I came into today expecting to die in three votes within an hour of day open after casing fferysci, I was already working on my apology misery wall tour.

[Cabd]

So just to confirm, you're stating that this is definitely not in any way shape or form Titus and is just scum gambit?

[Cabd]

You're not exactly wrong but at the same time mimicking Titus is one thing but to that extent is another entirely.

Certain players on this site have a very specific tone and narrative voice, such that you read their posts in their voice. Titus is one of those for me.

Pair that with the third game matching the now psuedo confirmed first game and I don't know. That makes more sense to me.

[Cabd]

LLD... do you mean SSBM kyouko?

I don't think that's a sakura hana alt....?

[Cabd]

The problem with that theory is that the night one and night three games were "basic board games, but add anime flavor" and the night two game was "lol guess the elim and order to it, no flavor needed"?

Which I mean maybe the mod is a lazy sod, but it's kind of jarring.

Still awaiting a reply about my submitted question.

[Cabd]

You think he's a better battleship player than the rest of the dead thread?

That's fair. We know he took the first round, anyways.

I guess I question that while YOU could impersonate titus in her active voice, if Dunn could do so smoothly.

Maybe. Maybe I'll get lucky and mod will confirm it is titus somehow and this is actually just over.

[Cabd]

Mod confirms that the signing thing is NOT assured and he WOULD allow somebody to fake-sign.

[Cabd]

Obvious, but at the same time checking was free.

[Cabd]

So now I've got three "hard scenarios" here for each of you FMPOV:

1: LLD is mafia with a built in excuse for being tracked to the scum kill, scum had Dunn make the kill anyways. Dunn or Gamma posted the message.
2: Gif is mafia and that is Titus not Dunn or Gamma posting, GiF went for mechclear on day two and it paid off when we redirected onto Luke instead. LLD's kill is usable as a factional ability even from the "commuter" action.
3: SSBM is mafia. The track was a fake guilty in an attempt to set up Dunn to be able to post from the grave, and the gamma elim was the plan falling off the rails. The beyond death post is from Gamma or Dunn as well.


My heart is telling me 1 is impossible but that's mostly feels about LLD being about as town as I've ever seen her here, scum-LLD vote parks me and rides off into the sunset. I dunno, 2 also feels impossible msotly because gif is mechanical but would have to have been self-reporting the other night one player thing, but 3 is kind of crazy too.

[Cabd]

Like, part of me wants to have me and gif vote and LLD to hammertest and then run the thread.

The rest of me is REALLY FUCKING SCARED of doing that and eating even more egg on face.

[Cabd]

You know what, fuck it.

I'm down to do that if gif is.

[Cabd]

VOTE: SSBM

Fuck it.

Also, if you're right, crying in forever that I derailed the day one SSBM wagon with outright defending.

[Cabd]

If LLD is scum at least game would be over and I can just chill.

This is where I'm at, it's the least likely possibility IMO and I don't see myself EVER getting there.

It's between SSBM and you here.

[Cabd]

Well, now we fuck aorund and find out.

[Cabd]

Okay.

LLD, it's your show.

Glad I had that read right. Thank Arceus.

[Cabd]

Imagine having a doublevoter that doesn't turn off in ELo.

Something something normal queue.

[Cabd]

Okay well, at this point game's in Lexi's hands.

I'm gonna unclench my arse here and just let it be.

[Cabd]

I mean both Luke and Kate thought it was me.

Titus thought it was Kate.

The others mostly didn't offer reads, right?

[Cabd]

absolved

[Cabd]

But no, I sure as heck didn't expect this list of four names to be anywhere near endgame. You and I don't generally make it that far as town.

I expected that the tracker claim would be ash in the wind by now.

And gif is uh.... I dunno, I guess maybe gif being here isn't that crazy.

[Cabd]

I totally expected to be here. I totally expected Kate to die too.

You assumed it was me going into today, and that Kate was gonna make you eat crow?

[Cabd]

Well, I guess from your POV that solves that.

[Cabd]

Also as scary as it is to be here right now in XYLIM and I have the screaming urge to just wish you'd hammer and get us outa here, thank you for not going full tarot on SSBM.

[Cabd]

We killed scum early day one before half the game posted.

[Cabd]

Including the dude whose role was to neighborize the day one wagon if he was on it.

[Cabd]

Also I guess I have one question about kyouko being scum: Why would she bus Dunn D2, who was being universally townread?

Right, which was my question as well, but LLD's theory is that scum needed to get Dunn to the dead thread to be able to play the dead games?

And then ride the mech clear win as tracker fits really well into LLD's claim.



I'm still not as convinced as LLD that the Titus thing is faked, but it's a moot point now, I suppose.

No point in no-elim as it just advances us to {Cabd, Gif, SSBM} with LLD dead AND a potential scum game effect in play now that she's confotown.

So I pretty much have to pray LLD is right here and that it's SSBM. Otherwise, town won't reach consensus and that's GG.

[Cabd]

We can always reach consensus on whatever I decide, so.

Yes, and human brain knows that, but goat brain is bleating right now.

[Cabd]

As so, not with a bang, but with a whimper...

Why doesn't scum-me just murder you instead?

It's not like LLD was opposed to thinking it was Kate here.


Lexi, does your role in any way state limitations on the mafia team using you? I'm betting it doesn't!

The "downside" is already claimed, if the kill fails, lexi gets the day kill.

[Cabd]

What a wild ride, forget what I said about the wimper. This is now officially a banger of a final day.

[Cabd]

Luke won... but notsci got to help draft the message?

But ffery didn't?

And neither did the entire rest of the town?

[Cabd]

Apparently luke was the winner of the game, told the threas, and he and notty wrote me a message after I became confirmed town from the hammer test

Did they say why?

Supposedly I lied about the game being isekai battleship.

(Just like you lied about the night two game)

Also... lexi, did they say who won the night two game? I feel like there's no way town doesn't convey that to you.

[Cabd]

My problem is why wouldn't cabd use me?

I have no next night restriction in my role. I do have the restriction that if I am used to kill 3 times by scum I wake up and get the vig power anyway

Please correct that to "use you, or just murder SSBM directly" but otherwise, correct.

[Cabd]

I do have the restriction that if I am used to kill 3 times by scum I wake up and get the vig power anyway

What a lazy take on the flavor, but whatever, at least he included the wake up part.

[Cabd]

God this is wild

What a wild ride, forget what I said about the wimper. This is now officially a banger of a final day.

You got like, several post ago ninja'd

[Cabd]

I mean that is obvious.

If you wanna kill Kyouko you don't risk using me.

If you wanna kill Kate you should use me...

And yet, SSBM apparently tracked ME to Kate?

[Cabd]

(You have no idea how badly I wanted to pull out the turning point USA meme template there again)

[Cabd]

Watched me at kate, sorry.

[Cabd]

Wow. That's pretty crazy and I hope Dunn is aware that literally less than that got me a mafia ban.

Like, a weeklong ban for outside game influences with no warning, for MUCH less than that about me and cephrir's/unwnd's preferred setup meta.

[Cabd]

FTW, I don't doubt that kyouko had a hood with notsci, I jsut doubt she's town.

[Cabd]

Any more than Dunn ran a bunch of research on titus to impersonate her to implicate gif?

Like we have proof mafia did a ton of homework in that both messages cannot be from town.

And yet.

[Cabd]

Oh she beat me to it, oh well.

[Cabd]

I came into today thinking it is just Cabd

FTR this is what I expected you to go, and I expected it to be a quick 3-vote instaloss.

I'm not sure as I wasn't ever in those shoes, obviously, but I'm pretty sure scum-me tries to goad the hammer out of you last evening.

[Cabd]

I really don't think LLD is gonna need a week. She's decisive when she needs to be.

[Cabd]

Sure. It's also completely correct.

If she decides she's killing me, then so be it, I accept the loss.

My reads sucked arse this game.

[Cabd]

Are we doing a subtweeting game?

[Cabd]

The day will end some random time after (expired on 2021-10-18 00:15:00), or when an elimination is achieved.

Subtracting a day and five minutes gives us: (expired on 2021-10-17 00:10:00)

[Cabd]

So a little after 4PM on Saturday, pacific time.

6:10:21 pm CDT | Saturday, October 16, 2021
4:10:21 pm PDT | Saturday, October 16, 2021

[Cabd]

That's not helpful

I was getting there.

[Cabd]

I guess we can sidebar the mod's questionaire in the meantime?

[Cabd]

Oh also piss off, Smartphone is great because when you want trash, why settle for low tier trash when you can have harem Gary Stu "have daughters with them all, then be weird about said daughters" trash?

With bonus "randomly turns into a mecha series for six volumes" salt, for fun.

[Cabd]

If I sent the Titus message, why wouldnt I implicate GiF in the message from Luke and Notty as well? Or if you think I'm lying about my result, why wouldnt I claim GiF did the kill instead, to line up with the message from "Titus" - obviously Cabd sent the Titus message, which is why he's so focused on it, because his only play toDay is to kill the number 1 proponent for his elimination and pin it on someone else.

...Nobody living sent the titus message. It's from Dunn/Gamma, we've established that.

[Cabd]

If it were a living ability, why wouldn't I have used it way sooner than this to fake a guilty? How does "day messenger" even fit?

(Side note, Scum had an ability to generate extra deaths, and ability to counter kills, and hmmmm, they seem to be missing a way to gather info)

It's a dead ability, and couldn't have come from real-titus as per game state of you and I crossed with gif now confirmed town. Therefore, it came from dead scum.

I've never once stated that I think you sent the message, that's not even a possibility.

[Cabd]

"You know shiro is in the game and town" is hardly gamebreaking info LMFAO

[Cabd]

I dropped the back-and-forth because it's just noise at this point but I guess let me know if you have questions.

[Cabd]

Okay then.

What does 5234 refer to exactly? What "pre game information" would scum-me have that rounds out reflexive-activated-pgo and extraelim-granter?

Like we've proven that i knew Shiro or Sora was in the game, and that there ~IS~ a game in the dead thread, but that's about it. What other info exactly do you think I have?

[Cabd]

Is it more likely the scum have BOTH messages or just one and town got the other?

It depends on how good you think Dunn/Gamma is at battleship. Or, uh, I suppose if you think I'm scum, than isekai scavenger hunt or whatever.

[Cabd]

What kind of boring ass power is that.

If that's what I got for jibril I'd ragequit lol.

Not to mention if I knew all the flavors in the game why fixate on sora/shiro from the get go, and I'd sure as hell have understood crumbs better.

[Cabd]

Hey it's that isekai with slimes in i

It wasn't even a bad one. It just didn't stand out at all.

[Cabd]

Hi so so sad, I'm dad.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

[Cabd]

Hopefully that gave you a sad chuckle and not just a sad sigh.

[Cabd]

I'm struggling to think why scum-Cabd would kill Kate over Kyouko and decide to randomly hammertest and clear LLD.

It's because the only answer to this Kyouko has is "lol wifom"

It's why today's posting is getting saltier and saltier, as the mech-cleared waltz-win disappears.

[Cabd]

So as I pray, unlimited prod dodge works.

[Cabd]

This is me blatantly prod dodging to give you time to transcribe the messages without me getting prodded.

[Cabd]

It's fine. I accept that we lose and won't blame you if you Hammer to get it over with.

[Cabd]

Win one lose one this weekend.

[Cabd]

Gif, stop playing with your food please. I hate being digested.

The entire theory of everything is stretched here.

I have no magical bullet other than "Why does scum informed make this setup at all fair as opposed to a scum investigative"

And "Why does scumcabd ever make a kill that he could be tracked or watched to when lld exists"

Neither of those are compelling. I get it.

[Cabd]

Eh. I'll forgive you.

Nobody's perfect.

Can't win them all and I played terribly.

This is more of a normal than a theme In that regards, but I suppose bloodstained has started a theme shit play when it matters trend too.

[Cabd]

Tonight's board game night with Tammy and Syryana. I'll just get drunk and pour out my sorrows into betrayal at house on the hill legacy.

[Cabd]

If you need to make sure that scumcabd doesn't pull off the win of the century I can live with playing well in past games meaning I got paranoia eliminated. My ego will survive.

Please don't hate yourself for it.

This isn't to stay that I wouldn't rather we win and party instead but you and gif seem to have made up your minds but are looking for permission to do it.

[Cabd]

I don't think anyone will call you stupid. I won't let them. Kyouko played well and deserves her praise.

[Cabd]

It does really feel like everyone is here except her. Why waltz in to a done deal eh?

[Cabd]

Tonight's board game night with Tammy and Syryana. I'll just get drunk and pour out my sorrows into betrayal at house on the hill legacy.

This was quite fun.

Legacy games OP.

[Cabd]

No offense but then just do it if you gotta?

Like this game has gone a week in limbo and it's pretty unfun to be stuck here and not being allowed to dunk on Ffery for completely blowing the arms race because the game is ongoing.

Once again I'd still rather we win but at this point you gotta pick a god and a wagon and pray.

[Cabd]

And so not with a bang, but with a wimper, does the game end :/

I don't blame ya'll.

[Cabd]

Just as frustrating as bloodstained was.

Guess I'm used to it now.

[Cabd]

It wasn't me btw.

[Cabd]

Yeah, about that.

[Cabd]

It was either kyouko or like somehow gif.

I maintain there's a no zero chance that that message really did come from titus btw.

[Cabd]

non-zero, rather.

[Cabd]

Eh, keyfabe until it's over when you draw scum, but if it were me it's over, not like I can magically nosell being hamemred in 4p.

[Cabd]

And yet I can't help but wonder.

[Cabd]

I should have just hammered Kyouko when I had the chance.

You should have, yeah :/

[Cabd]

Well my options were me or Kyouko.

So I wanted kyouko...

[Cabd]

Eh, I wouldn't bother doing that.

Free hugs next time I'm in town?

[Cabd]

I mean I had certainly hoped that hammer-testing you wold have made it obvious that I wanted to clear you, not to keep you as an elim option.

I hoped a lot of things this game, though.

[Cabd]

This is the part where we hope somebody won a govern or something.

[Cabd]

Also come on what kind of bullshit game is "scavenger hunt"...

The games were all skill, not luck, based.

[Cabd]

Dunn is in the same server, it's not rocket science to control+F the chat logs...

[Cabd]

If you'd rather have some hopium, you're welcome to believe scum-me knows that town has a govern shot and am playing coy in the hopes that I am rescued.

[Cabd]

Oh yeah that too.

[Cabd]

The game changing moment had nothing to do with you, it was the track on Dunn that had stuff fall apart.
