Micro 285 - Time: The Distortion (Town Win)

[Lucky2u]

Oh hell! I didn't notice this started. What's up!?

[Lucky2u]

Poor mod. The travails of running a mere 9p game.

This is 7 players

VOTE: scumfuck

And your name is offensive.

[Lucky2u]

Is the mod a player?

[Lucky2u]

Vote: Adaptive Heap

First person to stop a wagon from forming is scum imo.

Why did everyone ignore this?

It's pretty rock solid.

- Des

Is it? Why?

[Lucky2u]

Ooo... I'm being aggressive am I? I had to check up on my iso here but that is the most laughable thing I've heard all year! (it's only been a week so far in 2014, so my standards are low.)

You are all giving me too much credit for my actions, both the people reading it town and scum. I don't think through anything and I just post impulsively.

[Lucky2u]

Oh man... Forgot this game existed for a minute.

I always have trouble reading hydras, cognitive dissonance is a bitch. I'm probably still inclined to vote scumfuck, but I would switch to Domo after the "thinking about my claim" slip. If he is a reactive player like has been claimed, isn't it likely that this was an actual slip from posting too fast? This isn't a rhetorical question btw.

So that wasn't an RVS vote?

It was when it started, the bolded indicated it no longer being so.

Lucky's the towniest soul to ever come down from heaven, lady ffery

Oh um... thanks? ...You know what, I'll embrace this. /hugBert

Finally someone gets me!

[Lucky2u]

Oh man... Forgot this game existed for a minute.

I'm liking lucky less and less.

I like how this comes after I admit a willingness to vote Domo. Not so good OMGUS-FOS here.

[Lucky2u]

Someone vote lucky, he's done no real scumhunting and his sole fos has been entirely reactive to someone mentioning the suspect him.

When does Lucky do real scumhunting?

Ouch man... that hurts....

...I'm not saying it's not true but still!


I owe this game my attention, especially when I am a major point of discussion. Will return with content! ....

and if you believe that I have some swampland in Florida to sell you.

[Lucky2u]

are you kidding?? how was that AtE scummy at all??

It wasn't AtE, and it's scummy because town's under greater pressure than on a normal D1. A D1 mislynch, however statistically likely, puts us in lylo

tomorrow

. That's worrying me, and it should be worrying

anyone

who's town. Who's showing no worry? Lucky is.

Scum can derp their way to a win in a 7p, 2 scum game. Town can't.

I'm not worried and I'm town, but I'll need to be lynched to show how your very wrong in this train of thought.

[Lucky2u]

I'll reassess all my townreads tomorrow, assuming I'm not lynched/killed.

Do you think you are top contender for being night killed?

Do you think you are top contender for being night killed?

You can't really. I've hardly focused on this game, and I apologize to my fellow town for that. I'll post some thoughts so I can leave something behind I'm case I do get lynched.

Hey Lucky, I'm leaning toward voting you today. Talk to me about how I should be able to tell you're town.

[Lucky2u]

I think I'd like to know if lucky is generally this succinct as town or not.

You've still got two votes on you right? I find it baffling that both come with helpful serves of no reason.

btw lucky I thoroughly enjoy your username

-t

Thanks, and no I am not. I'm not this succinct as either scum or town. As town I usually speak too much and get lynched. As scum, I either play to hard to my town meta and get derp lynched or I play amazingly. (see my popcorn game).

[Lucky2u]

Quote tag fail two posts up. Mod can you help me there?

[Lucky2u]

On what planet does it make sense for Adaptive-town to chastise us for voting all willy-nilly, and then turn around and read us as scum for not voting all willy-nilly?

Especially when we made it clear that if we were to vote it would have been on Lucky, and that that vote would be L-1, and that we don't want any derp hammers in a 7p game that could be in LYLO tomorrow?

We now believe Bert was WKing Lucky. The team is Bert/Adaptive. You're welcome.

Vote: Adaptive Heap

What is WKing?

[Lucky2u]

Woah this game livened up somewhat.

ffery's method of leaving me is actually the opposite of alarming. Thinking more, I doubt very much she'd mix her game up in such a manner if she drew scum, more likely she'd try and play to her town meta, which means fake sorting me for a start, and probably anyone else who knows her.

Do you think you are top contender for being night killed?

This is a dumb question. How can I know this? What I do know is that I am town, thus I am indeed a potential nightkill. Top target? I do not know who scum are, how accurate my reads are, how accurate other townie's reads are, who the scum think is cop, etc. Throw in WIFOM and there's every chance I get killed tonight. I've been taken out n1 as claimed miller before (albeit miller tracker). If I'm on form, I'm a threat to scum for sure, so yes of course I could be tonight's kill.

At the moment I just see you going - "eh, this person is probs town, that person is probs scum, no wait, the person who I thought was scum before is now town because *insert single post reason* etc.

Hi, I'm DOMO, you might know me as rev. It's not unusual for me to base my reads on thin grounds, or for me to reconsider. All the more likely when it's a micro averaging a page a day, rather than a large averaging a page every hour. There's a lot less for me to work with here than I'm used to, so it should probably concern you more if I'm not all over the place.

Seriously you have Messiah as town? Why is that?

I am not townreading MC. My comment "easily the towniest" was in comparison to bert and lucky, although that opinion has shifted somewhat.

I am feeling like AH, SF and CB are town. Scum is in {Lucky, Domo, Bert}.

I agree with the townreads, catboi less so but let's accept for a minute he's town with SF and AH. That leaves me, MC, bert and lucky. I don not think both bert and lucky are scum because otherwise I think they would recognise they are staring defeat in the face and would make efforts to save the game. Thus, I think MC is scum with one of bert/lucky.

VOTE: Messiah Complex

This is a good vote.

Vote: Adaptive Heap

This is not. MC has abandoned his townread on AH, this vote is an ugly OMGUS.

One vote with legitimate concerns. Insta-flail.

Agree.

vote MC

I'm mobile and it is too hard to trim this post by concerning the part addressed at me... Why did you answer that post Domo? I was talking to scumfuck with that question.

[Lucky2u]

catboi's alright but I wish he would post more since most people are townreading him

was sick yesterday but yeah

super lazy right now buuut

lucky/ert are both premium lynches, a quick check of lucky's meta suggests he really isn't this useless as town, which makes bert's defense of him all the worse. Scumfuck's town, domo I feel a little better about, no strong feelings one way or the other on AH but I prioritize lynching one of the first two today.

*shrugs*

OK so what about a quick look into my scum meta? Why did you only compare my actions here to my town meta? Answer: you saw it doesn't match up with that either so my play here is untested and therefor null.

[Lucky2u]

As town I usually speak too much and get lynched.

So as town you talk too much... why are you so quiet here then?

Already answered. Read closer, get back to me, and if you haven't extracted the answer I'll tell you.

[Lucky2u]

I'm mobile and it is too hard to trim this post by concerning the part addressed at me... Why did you answer that post Domo? I was talking to scumfuck with that question.

And I'm talking to AH, not you.

Um no... You were quoting me and addressing me.

It's okay, we will bond together and not let them go after lowly hanging fruit. <3 =

Your just going to continue with these backhanded compliments eh?

UNVOTE:

VOTE: lucky2u

So your going to not respond and just vote me?

[Lucky2u]

I like complimenting people I've mislynched every time.

It makes me feel better in case I do lynch you.

It's ok. I am slightly scum reading you so we're even..

[Lucky2u]

I'm going to expand on that since you'll ask why. Sakura Hana had the same problem as you. She kept mislynching me when we were both town. She kept doing it, albeit begrudgingly. So why aren't you giving in to town pressure or atleast showing any sign of doubt? You know I'm town because we aren't partners is one answer. You tell me the other.

[Lucky2u]

Come on guys, I'm on a roll of activity here. Interact with me.

[Lucky2u]

VOTE: adaptive heat

Cause I didn't know where my vote was recently.

[Lucky2u]

I've changed my mind on you. It happens.

and sheep them onto their preferred lynch for today, at least if they're thinking one of Lucky or Bert.

This was super scummy. "I agree with you as long as it's the opinion I already have."

Mainly though it's because we have one confirmed town, that confirmed town has made a good case against someone and in the absence of having my own strong read, why not join this wagon?

[Lucky2u]

So your going to not respond and just vote me?

It's such a poor defense it merits a vote without comment.

Come on guys, I'm on a roll of activity here. Interact with me.

Never before has someone managed to post so much, while saying so little.

... Really? I'm going to quote that logic in every game to justify myself blind voting. In fact... It may go in my signature.

[Lucky2u]

how on earth is that scummy? wanting to wagon...one of their scumreads? that's like

the opposite

of what scum do

Because he said he was SHEEPING him, but only as long as it is what he was already doing. That's not sheeping. Sheeping is following someone else's route whether you agree or not because the Shepard your following is so trust worthy or reliable that you will let them lead you.

Most people only sheep their way up to the brink of the metaphorical cliff.

Your posts are looking better, but I feel like the content is somewhat coerced so I'm having trouble getting super thrilled that you're town. :/

I can understand unsheeping later but that's not what he was talking about.

[Lucky2u]

I can understand unsheeping later but that's not what he was talking about.

I added my preferred lynches for today to that sentence, to advance my own opinion and as a sign of good faith that I am happy to compromise on either. Also to be quite conscise that I wouldn't be self-voting, nor voting Messiah, nor catboi. I am unsure about DOMO again.

My current thinking is that both scum are in the holy trinity of you, Bert and DOMO. However I think it's more than slightly possible that you and Bert are scum together which makes lynching between you the best move for today.

What else did you think I was talking about - and how does asking for input and expressing flexibility read as scummy to you?

Asking for input and flexibility read scummy to me? What statement are you getting that from?

okay you are still failing miserably to establish how this correlates to scum motivated behavior

It's simple positive reinforcement psychology. "your right as long you share my opinion" is a stance that subtlety suggests that changing opinions or disagreeing with him is wrong. Why would town do something like that?

[Lucky2u]

nope, still failing

Does your town meta included ostriching?

[Lucky2u]

No, not at all, the posts where he's "trying" are utterly incomprehensible and I can't wrap my head around how anyone could follow that logic

It's one thing to disagree with me but acting like I'm a gibberish speaking lunatic is a bit much.

[Lucky2u]

VOTE: DOMO

Well this changes things. Your trying to get us to lynch the cop claim with no counter? This does not make sense.

[Lucky2u]

Well this changes things. Your trying to get us to lynch the cop claim with no counter? This does not make sense.

Do you actually believe that claim? jfc. If he's cop,

he's dead tonight anyway

. There's very little scum motivation in trying to get an outed macho cop lynched, especially one who claims to be a normal cop.

So why are you getting us to do the scum's dirty work? If he IS the cop, he will either die or scum will leave him alive for WiFOM. Either way, YES I BELIEVE THE UNCOUNTERED CLAIM! So that means if you are town, like me, you have eliminated a choice to lynch and now have a 2 out of 5 chance to lynch the RIGHT target.

[Lucky2u]

So why are you getting us to do the scum's dirty work?

What makes you think we're doing the scum's dirty work?

I do not think this claim is worth shit. It's blatantly an attempt to draw out the real cop before he gets lynched.

Ok, but that assumes Bert saw his lynch as a certainty. With two other likely lynch targets, I don't buy that hey would run this gambit as scum.

[Lucky2u]

You people are unbelievable... /headdesk

[Lucky2u]

VOTE: DOMO

Well this changes things. Your trying to get us to lynch the cop claim with no counter? This does not make sense.

holy shit can we lynch this

/sigh I'm tired of you.

[Lucky2u]

Hello again everyone!

[Lucky2u]

Oh also Damn it Bert! I believed in you!

[Lucky2u]

Talah, stop being an idiot.

I just ran the math.

The scum could not afford to no-kill. Thus, the catboi protect confirms catboi.
Messiah's doc claim is uncountered. Thus, they are town.
Scumfuck is town because of our result.
That leaves Lucky2u and DOMO as the only possible scum.

We lynch one, and if they flip town, lynch the other.

If that wasn't explicit enough,

Claim: Cop with an innocent on Scumfuck.
Confirm VOTE: Lucky2u.

well this game is over then. I am town, so I accept my fate since I'll win in the end anyway. Go ahead and finish this.

[Lucky2u]

why? I understand from town's point of view, we need to lynch me and DOMO. I seem to be the lynch for today, so I will sit and wait for it. The question is, shouldn't I be voting myself? and No, I'll let town bloody their hands with my blood. I choose a post-death win, but I'm not helping you do it.

[Lucky2u]

VOTE: domo

See... Told you I wasn't scum.

Well played Domo, night actions were your down fall.
