Mini 2056: Ballroom Blitz (Game Over)

[mastina]

Not much point in a pagetop, but hey let's make one anyway.

[Slaxx]

After tgp's flip I am less certain how we are supposed to strategize here. I think based on what we know it is still best to keep townies unpaired and ask scumreads to only dance with other scumreads.

Lovers, usually, is primarily negative utility and pts should not make up for that.

I think that's still right... and actually tgp's role makes me think it may be more true. Say there is a pt cop--the neghborhood would then actually be doubling down on negative utility on top of the lover's mechanic.

I'm not sure pt cop is likely here, but I guess I'm trying to figure out why tgp would be able to close a pt as a pro-town role.

So yeah, I'm not really sure. Are you saying you scumread mcqueen?

How about this... based on what I read in Vedis iso and based on the unbolted “and” in the kill flavor, I expect McQ to flip Anti-town (maybe mafia) here.

He wanted to pair with me yesterday, I’m curious what happens if I call that to see if it’s a bluff.

[Slaxx]

Woah wait... we were told it was 10:3.

Okay hold up then.

That kill flavor is really weird, maybe I’m speculating too much but the unbolded and looks like an emphasis.

[Slaxx]

We need to get to an even number to utilize the dance off mechanic, it literally doubles the pro-town kills that happen in ratio to scum kills.

I need to think for a second.

[Darkwing Duck]

Dancer Preference Order:

Top three preferred dancers for today:
1. Aronis
2. redtea
3. EeveeLution Army

Secondary dance order, less structured:
LabRat01
Kokichi Oma
Eragon
mcqueen
Moment
Slaxx

___Do not want to dance___
AP
Darkwing Duck

Note this is a one-headed list cause I haven't talked to other head since today's flip

I would support Aronis dancing with Redtea
VOTE: Aronis

[AP]

VOTE: Aronis

I would rather pair him with Koki though. Koki's EoD was extremely bad. He even voted TGP after TGP had claimed and it looked like the tide may change against his lynch (I unvoted, Slaxx was advocating a switch to me or to No Lynch .. etc.) and his only justification was "we have 8 hours left".

I'd also FoS Eragon to a lesser extent for voting TGP after the claim, but I have never once correctly pegged Eragon correctly, so I'll just shut up.

[LabRat01]

I'm going abroad for 4 days so this is gonna be bad xd
In the train rn so the connection is crap already
Idk if I'll be able to do anything at all today, but I'll try my best. I prob should just replace out, but I just really want to try to retain my slot, cuz I want to play and I'll be absolutely free for a whole week after that
i mean, it would be such a shame...

--------------------

Anyways, I can't dislike Slaxx's efforts near EoD, especially the part about SRing everyone who could have been lurking. That amount of care would be kinda ridiculous if coming from scum imo
Besides, it iiis kinda cheap, but slaxx seems like a rather strong player, so if they're town, they should get killed relatively quickly...
And that makes me feel rather ok with not worrying about the TR too much
Dirty, but should work just fine

AP is most prob town. His dance offer was townie, the tone was brilliant and his conspiracy theory about TGP being scum with Ac-sth would be just silly if coming from scum. Tbh I could prob make a better read on him, but my connection is crap rn and the ISO doesn't want to open xd
So I'll prob just leave it for later

Actually, same with eragon, he's a rather solid TR for me, but he has that "reactive/spontaneous" playstyle, so it's really hard to explain it without actually quoting all of his posts...

Moment's content is just solid... there aren't many posts which make me strongly feel town for them, but they don't seem to be focused on anything in particular and seem to just comment/analyze whatever catches their eye. I don't think it's a particularly strong town-tell and tbh that read isn't all that strong either, but I really can't deny that their posts are just simply good

As for the weaker reads, I liked the tone in MCqueen's posts. His idea to get a neighbour chat with slaxx was dumb, but would prob make more sense if it was coming from a townie.
The idea itself would be rather "original" for scum to have btw.
Like, it kinda makes me think that mcqueen could be scum only if all of his teammates were among the inactives. (Cuz otherwise thinking that up would require way more "out of the box" thinking)
I mean, if he's scum and the scum-chat was active, why would he even think of wanting the chat in the first place?
(That's actually a legit question. I'm really considering basing the read on it, cuz the more I think of it, the more sense it seems to make...
I'd really want to hear some opinons on that though)


That ^ would be my town-zone
The reads may be a bit weak, but as for PoE, I think they'll do just fine fn

And I know I TR most of the players who were active, but the more I think about it, the more I'm starting to believe that the town might have just rolled really well
It's not necessarily the case, so I guess there is a chance of scum being among my weaker TRs, but I really doubt there's more than 1

I don't think I'll be able to "solve the game" by getting SRs btw.
I do have some strongish TRs, but it doesn't seem to work the other way around

--------------

The ISOs aren't loading properly, so I'll ommit most of the players
Tbh I don't have a good read on any of the players outside the town-zone, so I don't have strong preferences as for whom to lynch
I mean, I do kind of? But not as much as I'd like to

------------

I can't read duck. I remember liking some of his early posts, but then again, it wasn't anything strong.
And tbh as for a 3-headed hydra, they don't post a lot, though I'm not sure if it's AI :/
Overall, not a great fan, but I can't really bring myself to SR them for anything either

I think gamma's vote was disgusting. Their posts made me feel that they didn't care about whom they vote at all and it didn't even seem that they've read the thread before doing it, which feels just awful
Either a deadweight, apathetic (for some reason????????? And since the start of te game???) townie, or just simply scum.
Yeah, it's a pathetic and really basic SR, but I don't give a fuck
They should either get replaced or lynched imo

I wouldn't mind someone dancing with them, preferably someone from outside of my town-zone

VOTE: gamma

and @mod, V/La for 4 days

----------

P.edit
This is fine as well
VOTE: aronis

Them dancing together would be a beautiful sight to behold
I really, really wouldn't mind it happening

-----------

And sorry if the post isn't readable, I'm trying to hurry up, cuz the connection is getting weaker and weaker ):

[LabRat01]

Ewpop

Worse and worse?


And I really wouldn't like to see slax dancing with mcqueen
Obvious reasons

[Slaxx]

Is Koki a Gamma alt? Because gamma isn’t in this game.

If that was really Gamma, this Could alter things, so, might as well fess up.

[Darkwing Duck]

Which account is gamma?


Eedit: yeah confused

[LabRat01]

Yeah, sorry xd
It's koki

Idk why I remembered them as gamma

request dance with Slaxx

[Darkwing Duck]

alright whatever just accept it so this day doesn't get stupid

I respectfully disagree that was the right choice, mcqueen.

[Eragon]

SP

RIP my dance with slaxx

RIP my dance with labby b/c he's V/LA until deadline

so uhhh

Eeevee wanna dance?

[Eragon]

I’m seeing little reason here not to pair up with McQ right now, based on what just happened.

Thoughts?

wdym?

nvm ignore the post above

Accept McQueen’s Dance

I'd also FoS Eragon to a lesser extent for voting TGP after the claim, but I have never once correctly pegged Eragon correctly, so I'll just shut up.

why was his claim "so towny' to you(and any others that felt this way)?


I felt it went overboard, like "HEY IM AN IMPORTANT PR DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT LYNCHING ME"

and goes on to say "i can read all dance PTs and shut one down once per game"

I just felt like it was heavy on AtE and kinda forced, as well as the role actually having negative utility(IMO) for town, and super positive utility for scum.
on top of that, it wasn't the "super powerful and important" role he said it was, because as town its basically useless. 95% of the time, PTs will have at least one town in it. So whats the point of having another town being able to read the PT? and shutting down a PT makes no sense why thats important(the only thing is breaking up the lovers but thats still not "super strong and powerful")
Thats the main reason i thought it felt forced-- because it didn't have the utility that he implied, and it felt to me like he was just trying to self-preserve himself to use his role for scum.

on top of that, i just had a general scumread on TGP, and i never would have wanted a no-lynch, and AP has been towny, so :shrug:

Im still fine with it.

[Slaxx]

What's your read on Eevee and why Eragon?

They randomly placed me into their scum reads after DD and I 1v1, it was not a good look.

[Eragon]

I just soulmeld them and think it would be fun to be in a PT

:shrug:


I think their tone is p.towny but overall its just gut

[Slaxx]

Meh.

VOTE: Kokichi Oma

This slot needs pressured. Eragon you should join me.

[Slaxx]

I went thru the TGP wagon and no one had posted elsewhere

I guess it was kinda cheap idea but I thought maybe it would work.

[mastina]

Day 2, Dance: Partner!

mcqueen

and

Slaxx

have paired up, partnering up for the dance! Until

Day 3
