Mini Normal 2258 | Bunnies [Postgame]

[Almost50]

Hi all..

I've got some good news and I've got some bad news: The good news is this is my first game since I was released from a 1-month ban. The bad news is

I picked up some other hobbies while I was anxiously waiting for the "quick reply box" to reappear on my screen

, so I won't be as active. (P.S. before I was grounded I had gained some momentum and was trying to get my overall post count up significantly. The "time out" I'm afraid killed my motivation)

Spoiler: More about the coloured bit

It's nothing too complicated. I've just hit a few youtube channels and I'm wasting my time watching almost anything from quantum mechanics and origin of the universe to Steve Harvey on family feud.

Enough ranting, yeah? All I want to say is that I'm either a bloody MILLER, an INFORMED Townie, or merely a Flavoured/Named VT. Make of that what you will. Thanks for letting me say my piece.

[Almost50]

Im town

Somehow Andres sounded more convincing on this one.

[Almost50]

OK.. maybe I can elaborate a little bit: I am a N1 backup of a certain role. Otherwise I'm powerless. Thus to a Nea/VT Cop I am more of a bloody Miller. I am Informed of the Role I am a backup to, but if the mod is trolling the role could maybe not be in play, thus I'm just a Named Townie. (and THUS the uncertainty)

[Almost50]

I would like to think if Mathblade was here he would have screamed at me to "keep my pants on", but I think outing this info is good for if/when time comes to a massclaim and I am still alive.

[Almost50]

Not to vt tell but i realized that this game is actuslly even easier than i thought because PRs exist

What does this even mean???

As for the survey, I sure hope Mr Frog isn't counting on me to fill THAT out. I usually skim/skip wall posts, so I'm not about to not only read one, but actually respond to it. (Besides, it's been over 25 years since I last took an exam, and I dread reliving the memory).

[Almost50]

(most town)
Something_Smart
OutWorldER
Almost50, Andresvmb, Aristeia, Datisi, Frogsterking, House, innocentvillager, Laplacian, Reformed Toxic Player, skitter30, VP Baltar (tie)
(most mafia)

This is a wild reads list.

Tell me more about skitter, laplacian, RTP and andres please

May I ask why these specific four? I mean, his read basically says he TRs OutWorlderER and has no read on anyone else, and I thought that would be more worthy to question.

[Almost50]

Oh I guess I misread

And I guess I spoke too fast.

[Almost50]

hey hey ss also has my current solve in the bottom half

Now I had promised myself not to post much and not to spend much time on the site either, but I just can't help applauding a good piece of humour.

I would prefer if you did fill that out actually since you've barely posted and what you did post was

super weird

A50 trademark posting.

Fixed.

[Almost50]

a50 - nullscum pings but not something i would put super much weight in rn

I would very much appreciate it if you dropped the null part there.

[Almost50]

very rough readslist for where i am rn:

Andresvmb ~ townvibes
VP Baltar ~ unsure? had some scumvibes earlier but i do actually like that you're caring enuf abt my alignment to meta me, i think that's unlikely to come from town here
Datisi - town ?
skitter30 - shinign beacon of towniness, etc
OutWorldER - town ?
Reformed Toxic Player - townvibes but i'm not putting super much stock in it
Something_Smart - null
Aristeia - as null as null can possibly be
innocentvillager - scumvibes
Laplacian - i think i remember liking him yetsterday but i don't remember why
Frogsterking - town
House - scumvibes
Almost50 - nullscum

So I'm a candidate for being scum and I'm partners with House? You think if that was the case that we would not be talking to each other like the case is right now?

Hint: If I was paired with House in a scum team in a mini, rest assured the game is won by us already.

[Almost50]

a50 - nullscum pings but not something i would put super much weight in rn

I would very much appreciate it if you dropped the null part there.

Hey look at that, something we can agree on!

Are we distancing now? Didn't we agree to NOT talk to each other in the scum PT??

[Almost50]

Hey guys I read Lap's most recent posts as pr so don't wagon him please if he doesn't seem to be town telling.

plz dont' say such things ... >.>

I second that. After all we are well capable of sniffing them PRs on our own.

[Almost50]

after actually reading through, i feel better abt vp, worse about a50

Nice.

[Almost50]

Almost50

- Can't tell if A50 is legit just treating the game differently after a break or is using that as a cover to lurk. It's obv throwing me, and others it seems. Would like a little more engagement pretty please A50? Null to lean scum.

Drop the null please. I'm a humble guy and I'll take a scum lean pretty easily. :lo:

As for engagement.. I dunno about that. I'd have to ask the wife if she's ok with me officializing my relationship with someone else.

[Almost50]

UNVOTE:
VOTE: a50

That's a start. I had always thought SCUM would be interested in knowing what type of PR might be in the game, and if they don't have a Role Cop then pushing me to try and get an explicit claim is the way to do it.

Other than that.. carry on please.

[Almost50]

UNVOTE:
VOTE: a50

I can support this. I dislike his lack of engagement.

Unlike skitter, I don't consider it town indicative. Especially from A50.

VOTE: Almost50

2 scums with one stone?

[Almost50]

VOTE: a50

Wow! I guess Simon Cowell's gonna tell me I got 4 NO's.

[Almost50]

my solve has been vp/iv/laplacian for a while now :3 I largely townread everyone else here

Your "solve" is 66.666666666667% wrong.

Glass houses & whatnot.

Only YOU would know that. So you confirm being Scum with VP?

[Almost50]

Town A50 is active & engaged.

NOT true, but I understand the need to frame me.

[Almost50]

I don't have meta on a50 so I'm just taking my horde of town reads at their word this is definitely not a50's town play. I'm down to switch.

So it's like that, huh?

[Almost50]

Monkey Business is this your usual M.O.?

Pretty much, yeah. I mean, you can check my previous games to verify the fact (and hopefully find a game or two were I was NOT active on D1 too)

[Almost50]

Only because I want to hang you on my wall to have something nice for guests to look at when I entertain.

ROTFMGO

[Almost50]

House's posting reminds me of when I was 13

I'd have to be hypnotized to remember what it felt when I was 13 dude. That was some FOURTY YEARS AGO.

I can't do that, as claiming scum WITH another person is against the rules.

Thanks for clearing me, as you DID play along when I hinted we were scum together.

[Almost50]

Oh, shucks. I hit the end of the thread already. I guess time really flies when you're "warming up" to have fun.

P-edit:

@Frog: I do get BW'd a lot and I usually do ignore it when it's not supported with a case. I also have a sinking feeling at least one (but more likely two) of the three votes on me are scum motivated. I did obscure my claim back there for a reason, and scum are probably curious as to what PR I claim to be a Backup to. It just took them a while to find a reason to be on my wagon (which I believe is being pushed to get me to either fully claim or flip me and see my role)

[Almost50]

. I also have a sinking feeling at least one (but more likely two) of the three votes on me are scum motivated. I

Who are the scum votes on u?

One r two of the three votes on me,

But let's not waste time and energy on someone else. YOUR VOTE specifically smells. First, you didn't start my wagon. You even said you wouldn't worry about me right now, but as soon as you saw someone else spearheading it you hopped right on.

Furthermore -and this is even more concerning- you and I have established this for years: You disregard my play on D1 regardless and come back to me on D2 if I do make it through the night. You breaching that treaty is .. confusing me to say the least. When you were on track (as in when you said you wouldn't worry about me for now) I thought you

might

be hinting you're the role I am referring to. Now I very much doubt it and thus have no reason to assume good will on your part.

[Almost50]

This seems overly polite IMO

Are you trying to bait me to eat another 1-month ban???

[Almost50]

I think you're town.

I think OWER's iso regarding you/lapla is not great

nobody is even suspecting you.

OWER IS TOWN

YOURE TOWN

SIITTER IS TOWN

HOUSE IS TOWN

DATISI IS TOWN

just fuckin trust me for d1

This is one of my d1s where I'm fucking up scum just let me do my thing

If I combine my reads and yours then the scum team should be exactly IV/Laplacian/VP. Do you think it's

that

easy?

Disclaimer: I have NULL reads on both IV and Lap.

[Almost50]

i think SS is in his town meta because as scum he kinda feels different energy wise


and andres i think is also in town meta even tho i havent seen his scum game - but ill leave him alive for 1 day regardless cuz he gets fearkilled a lot bc he really gets stronger as the game goes on

I agree they both are more likely Town than not.

[Almost50]

how do you feel about actually sharing your reads?

I always feel BAD about that, but this time I -at least- don't have any strong PR reads, so sharing my reads won't tip scum on whom to shoot/block. I still have the issue of people asking me to explain the reads which I'm not a master of, and some of my reasoning can even be considered BS by many, so

I won't be explaining them

I currently think something like this:

Almost50
Andresvmb
Reformed Toxic Player
Frogsterking

Datisi
Something Smart

OutWorldER/Aristeia/innocentvillager/Laplacian

skitter30

VP Baltar / House

[Almost50]

Hardclaim Masons with innocentvillager

Now THAT makes more sense. You can now scratch my readlist

[Almost50]

VOTE: Laplacian

Day Over

[Almost50]

@a50

Would you do anything special to adapt to having a player like Lap on your scum team?

Come again?

[Almost50]

in any case, my hot take is that a50 looks bad regardless of what lap flips

Usually I would be responding. with a snarky comment like.. my white fur sure looks better than you green hair, but seeing as I really am not interesting in getting heavily involved in any string of thought that could lead to an emotional reaction (for fear someone "else" may decide to intervene and then report my post even after we two reconcile on it momentarily) I would just smile and shrug instead.

[Almost50]

Btw, my keyboard is acting up, so if you see some 3's, 5's, 9's or misplaced text that looks like a jumble of words that need to be rearranged to form a sentence, you know what happened

[Almost50]

If I die tonight, yeet a50 into the sun.

Considering I'm practically freezing in here; the sun doesn't seem like a bad place to be heading

[Almost50]

OK.. this is as dirty as it gets. This is a trick I learned from mastina: I have now chanbged my online status choice om the control panel, so you could all verify when I was last online. I did NOT check in during the night. I was NOT online, so could not have talked to my "scum partners". We all know we it could have been done using Discord for example, but that's the best I can offer you for now.

Second: It's damn strange we only had ONE death overnight. I was a "Town N1 Backup Vig". I guess I'm officially just a named Townie anyway now, so no harm in me claiming in full.

Third: In response to this

@a50

Would you do anything special to adapt to having a player like Lap on your scum team?

Come again?

In a game like this, if you were scum with Lap would you just let him fend for himself and try to solo carry, or would you try to work with him in some way and survive longer as a team?

It depends on many factors how I would act in this situation. How well I know the player (I don't know Laplacian at all), how well we gel together, how active they are on the scum PT, who our third partner is, as well as what roles we all have.

Finally; I would still sheep Koba's reads too. Usually when we both have similar/overlapping reads we have it nailed.

My current reads are:

Almost50
Andresvmb
Frogsterking
Datisi
Something Smart
House

OutWorldER/Aristeia

skitter30/innocentvillager

VP Baltar

House is now a TR NOT because of the "false Mason claim" but because of the retraction at the start of the day. I don't think Scum him had any reason to retract here. EVEN a PT Cop/Traffic Analyzer would have confirmed his claim all the same. (or am I missing something?)

P.S. My TRs are not ordered in any particular way. OutWorldER/Aristeia represent the null line. I would flip any of VP/skitter/IV today with pleasure.
