Smoke-Filled Antechamber [Endgame]

PookyTheMagicalBear · Post Post #81 (isolation #0) » Thu Oct 08, 2020 2:14 pm

Eliza took a long drag of her cigarette, she felt a bit faint from all the buzzing activity around her. The activity in the room seemed more frenetic than usual.. Something had broken the usual solemnity of the antechamber. Looking for a familiar face she spotted SS standing close to the bar. Making her way through the room, Eliza gave the gentlest touch on his arm and asked him to pass her a drink

Eliza heard the man approach her from behind and turned towards him,

His name was at the edge of her tongue but she seemed to have forgotten it, embarrassed she asked him,

"Hello my name is Eliza, may I have the pleasure of knowing whom I am speaking with?"

Did you know that smoking is responsible for 3/4ths of all COPD patients and 38% of all COPD related deaths?

Watching them dance across the floor with such elegant moves, Eliza couldn't help but help but feel a sense of loneliness in her heart, she turned to SS and wondered why he continued to ignore her. A slight tug on his shoulder - perhaps he would notice her here? She blinked and wondered what had caused him to ignore her.. perhaps it was something she had done wrong?

Eliza felt hurt at the sharp criticism, trembling she turned towards the loud man in the corner who seemed to be upset at her very presence...

"Would you like me to go away? Have I done anything to offend you? I can disappear forever if that is what you wish. I hope you don't have to be so harsh or sharp in your criticism of me, if there's anything you would like my opinion on you need but ask."

Yeah Cabd's a friend in real life, but that's not the issue. How is it any different than the reasoning you used to defend Diamond Sentinel earlier? When you know someone is getting attacked for their play style and not for something actually scummy don't you point it out?

What points of Diamond Sentinel's are not just play style or personality? And what part isn't weird narrative building?

First, if they're relatively simple to read, or at least if I'm confident reading them, I will put pressure on them (or try to prod people to do so), but I won't say that aloud. That causes their behavior to shift.
But in the case of Syr and Tammy, both of these are because they are people who have, for one reason or another, not trulymade enough content to get a solid read out of. While I have soft-reads on both of them, there isn't enough of a base to get a strong read that I"m confident in. And this varies from person to person. Yes, both of them have a fair bit of posts (more than me), but the amount of posts I need to get a solid read on someone varies wildly. Folks like Titus and Firebringer I can get reads on that are rarely wrong after 20 posts. Folks like Wisdom? Dayum I'm lucky to get a solid read after 200. (and yes, these are all not in this game, but I'm deliberate about using people not in this game, lest I be wrong and eat my words)

It's not something AI about Jake and doesn't sort his alignment, absence of towntell doesn't make him scummier.

It makes town-tells you get out of him if you can in the future more questionable.

Have you guys ever been to a party where people are just talking and having a great time and you can't understand what they're saying or get a word in edgewise so you just smile awkwardly and end up drinking way too much because the only person who will talk to you is the bartender? I've been to lots of parties like that but I'm an alcoholic so I enjoy them tremendously.

Now let me tell you about this great game I played in during 2003, about a decade before most of you came to this site,

It was a 12 player mini with 3 mafia and 1 SK and we did not miss a single elim (4/4) not a single town player was lynched - we were done in 7 pages.

I don't really understand the Peta/Nahdia thing.

I think it's weirdly blown out of proportion - might be distancing.

PookyTheMagicalBear · Mon Oct 12, 2020 11:34 am

I'm talking about that time Peta went ballistic on Nahdia for commenting on his convo with me

it was weird af

PookyTheMagicalBear · Mon Oct 12, 2020 11:38 am

i know Peta is good scum

I played with him as scum once,

He shot me at night to make himself super-townie looking and then used the town-cred to dismantle the town and win the game.

Funniest part was he didn't even tell me he was going to shoot me - it was cold af.

PookyTheMagicalBear · Mon Oct 12, 2020 11:42 am

he strikes me as the sort of scum who wants to win alone and doesn't want teammates to drag him down. It would explain the violent reaction.

It's just hard to get into the conversation because it feels like a lot of what is being said is just flying over my head atm :/. It is like a party where people all know each other and are excited to see each other and swap stories about stuff and you just don't really know what to do so you feel super awkward.

Do you have any reads you feel super strongly or really conflicted about?

Or more important. What is your favorite drink?

I TR you and would be shocked if you were scum. You're like the cool girl at the dance that everyone seems to be on a first name basis with, you know you're popular but you don't put up any airs. It feels refreshing to talk to you.

My favorite drink hmm.

Probably 10 Yr Talisker. It tastes like being hit by an ocean wave, it's strong and unapologetic, makes me remember happier times when I was younger, dumber and less jaded about life.

he probably didn't think the dethy would get solved on d1.

also having double-sized PRs makes sense with a scum Role-Cop since it's easier to find them and you get extra bonus for killing them.

the dethy are not conf-town by game design - the mod has no way to know that the traitor in the dethy would self-immolate like that on d1.

the other 2 mason pairs are essentially 1 person each since killing 1 lover also kills the other - it would count as 2 conf-town players in game design not 4.
