Mini Normal 2141: The World of Tomorrow [Game over!]

[LicketyQuickety]

Hello...

This is my main.

[LicketyQuickety]

you just replaced yourself? why?

Thought I would go back to my roots.

[LicketyQuickety]

^ Was me.

If midway flips scum, who are potential partners? This is one of my biggest hang ups for midway. Votato is likely not linked. I think the player formally known as Quick wouldn’t be linked. VP probably wouldn’t either. If he flips town, town gets nothing from the lynch. If he does flip scum, that would go a long way in clearing various players.

@the player formally known as Quick: what does your system have for midway pairings?

Puppy, hellbooks, and for a spicy take, given the lack of follow through from R2R with Gamma, there's nothing that prevents a midway/R2R either.

[LicketyQuickety]

Agree with mavs. I do think the other wagons we've had recently would give us more information to go off.

That being said, I don't want the end of the day to be rushed, and it seems from the activity in the thread lately that most people have said their piece

[LicketyQuickety]

puppy+quick is also possible, but I doubt it

Based on what, if you don't mind my asking.

[LicketyQuickety]

I feel like I can't get puppy and/or votato lynched because everyone is following what quick is doing and he's not pushing those

What do you think about Puppy/votao as TvT?

How I arrived at my conclusion was F3 + votato in Puppy's ISO.

[LicketyQuickety]

precious little on gamma from midwaybear too o_o

don't worry. If you are town, blair is dead tmrw
there are no redirecting roles in normal games

this feels kinda town :\

Good point, but if I am newb Scum I am going to subconsciously think, "One good one. That should do the trick."

[LicketyQuickety]

Currently, with all that's been said...

My team right now is...

midway/Puppy
midway/hellbooks
And for a dark horse:
VP/mav

[LicketyQuickety]

Though TBH, I will reevaluate R2R upon midway Scum flip (granted I make it through to the next Day, which is unlikely if midway is Scum).

[LicketyQuickety]

Why are NoPowerOverMe, Ready2Rock, and votato wagons?

Town unite!

VOTE: ready2rock

What made you switch votes, was it because it looks like you two are the only viable wagons right now?

Spoiler:

FOS: Atarashi Hajimari

I don't think you should "be willing to sheep" "for now" and at the same time put someone at L-2.

I liked Atarashi on this page/the page before

Blair, you seem town. Votato is not.

I'm not seeing Votato scum at this point in the game

---

Blair looks like town to me, Puppy looks kind of towny as well in response to pressure

---

So I should have asked myself to spew town as well?

I'm not really following. (Also, THAT definitely would be asking for town cred)

You shouldn't "ask yourself to spew town", you should just do things that are pro town rather than go around looking for people that think you are town.

I'm wondering what your experience is since you apparently didn't have an avatar earlier and are a new account

im a bit torn between atarashi and VP here for my next vote, but im feeling better about puppy.

This is so-so, I don't know what you're looking at for atarashi and VP here, agree on puppy at this point in time

Now THAT's a bad OMGUS vote.

Given that two people voted for two different targets one after the other before this post, you may want to specify.

Putting your head in the sand doesn't make the problem go away.

I've got no idea what you're on about right now

I don't see any logical reason for the Blair/Atarashi teamup unless they are scumbuddies to be honest.

What team-up? Them voting together?

I don't see why scum!Atarashi would ask for anyone to take a vague statement that could have been addressing several people and ask for it to be clarified that it was directed at him.

He's an egotist?

I don't like this post: I don't think this is a real thought you would have as town, it looks like you're just trying to be right

Rather be rude town than polite scum.

Being scum is rng, being rude isn't, just saying

My strongest opinion so far is that Puppy looks surprisingly town for how early it is - his/her posting seems very open and straightforward so far and I think that kind of mindset is much more likely to come from town than scum

I like Blair's playstyle but she feels competent enough for what she's posted so far to come from town or scum. She's putting in the work tho so she'll prob be readable before too long

VOTE: Nauci
Not particularly confident in it but she's a fine first 'real' vote - NPOM feels like he/she'd be a good early target for scum given their abrasiveness so far and doubling down on mavs' RVS post having a justification and saying that he disappeared 12 hours into the game seems dumb.
like yeah there's mavs literally now because it's morning and it makes sense

Might have more at lunch (which is in like 3 hours since some of ya'll seem like non-East Coasters)

Nauci looks fine to me at this point in the game

i cant explain why he'd post walls right out of RVS.

I don't think this is a valid scumtell

Disagree?

yep!

Okay, well Blair seems LAMIST to me this game so far.

Fair point

Hi, stop blowing up my spot. I do not want to get NKed

Weird

I think some three of the most non active people voting baltar shows that he is town

Non active = scum ?

VP also completely ignored all the questions asked of him. interesting.

Pardon? I've tried to answer all questions directed my way. I'm sure there are things that have been missed along the way though due to the river of content, so feel free to point them out.

Note to Votato: I feel like you keep saying that people are ignoring all questions and I'm not remembering the questions being asked either. Maybe I'm just glossing over stuff.

OK some questions for VP

1) You said early on in the thread that you didn't like puppy talking about blair's inactivity. Did that actually affect your read one way or the other, since you had your vote on them at the time? And thoughts on puppy now?

2) Since you asked for the case on Blair (336) and since then a lot of discussion has happened between her and quick. Thoughts on Blair now?

3) Do you still think there's value in pressuring votato more at this stage?

1) puppy is town. said as much.

2) Blair is town. said as much. Also addressed mavs question in my previous post.

3) I think there is value in lynching votato and in lynching you, yes.

This post feels towny

I didn't see that post. It sounds like a town lurker looking for an excuse to lurk so when he is scum he has town lurking meta.

For this post too: "I don't like this post: I don't think this is a real thought you would have as town, it looks like you're just trying to be right"

It's a terrible wagon. I think it speaks for itself.

But hey, if you want to lynch someone based on an OMGUS then be my guest.

Scummy reaction IMO

I think she’s scummy af. Especially after 673.

I'm not seeing Nauci as scummy

yeah quicks style is shit, but in this instance there is a larger case. none of you are doing anything to address the case. you are trying to form counterwagons or engage in ad hominem.

I agree with this post; at least, the second half is what I'm talking about. But I think it's mostly NPOM - he changed his tune when Blair/Quick turned on him

Walk me through this Dunn. How do you get from A-Z here?

[LicketyQuickety]

@Scum team: why did you kill me? I wasn't really "on the mark" really.

[LicketyQuickety]

great game guys, thanks for hosting umlaut and thanks to everyone for playing! this was one of the most fun games i've played in a long time

I am actually quite proud of myself that I came around to seeing you as Town. It's not easy to flip a read like that, but you did an excellent job of showing a Town mindset.

[LicketyQuickety]

Ultimately, Town won because they were honest and didn't succumb to FPS (fancy play syndrome).
