wasn't that right before she died?

If Marmot is scum and not Gemini Man, same conclusion.

explain?

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Tue Oct 02, 2018 11:08 amHere are 3 possibilities as I see 'em.

1. Marmot is Gemini and saved himself. Either bad Gemini and saved himself maliciously or Good Gemini and saved himself without knowing Simon was also a civ
2. Gemini is a civ and for some reason saved Marmot over Simon. Either Gemini suspected Simon more or figured for some reason Marmot was being stitched up
3. Gemini is bad, and since from what I gather the mafia are putting the screws to active players, figured "Hey you know what would be funny? Using my fun extra vote to frame Marmot who won't fight back and lynch Simon now, and lets let the town hang the Marmot"

Have I got that about sorted?

I think that's accurate, except iirc I think 2 was at least soft-ruled out, since for the most part the Simon vote stack contained mostly people who didn't feel strongly about a Simon lynch anyways, or weren't even around at the time.

Anybody want to give me the 4-1-1 this fine evening?

i don't remember what happened on day 1 but eloh got mislynched as a result of it, i think it was cus of a rules thing?

day 2 got skipped cus of robot magic

day 3 we lynched luna who was an evil robot and also the same robot that apparently skipped day 2

day 4 the day ended up tied between marmot and simon and simon got mislynched and also it was only a tie cus there was an extra vote by "gemini" man and i think lc voted for simon to keep things even and dizzy meant to change votes or something

also mafia seems to be really horny about killing the most active players at night so that's a thing

oh i see, it's 2 possibilities, to account for variation since there was one kill of apparent non-mafia origin, and there's 4 categories each because there's 2 indies that are as of yet unaccounted for.

anyways, what kind of lynch plan do you mean?

Legendaries take too long to level anyhow. I rarely use them in regular runs.

i never used them normally, but it's nice to have one in the back pocket for challenge runs, when things get sticky

my thought was that I'd use flaaffy and zubat to paralyze and confuse miltank and keep her from healing or sweeping my team with rollout but i forgot about the Lum berry. I ended up just having aipom use tickle and sand attack until she couldn't do damage and I could pull off a 2hko with headburt

linki- :\

and maybe a little hungry

yeah i know im just anxious

is this really okay? i don't like the quiet

Counter-counter wagon engaged!
I like the vote and would be willing to entertain it. But it seems people are not budging from the two established wagon at the moment. Care to expand on why this your vote?
Because his suspicion of you is circumstantial, and his treatment of you henceforth is based on that predetermined idea. This is based on only a few posts as I'm not fully caught up.

As for a Sloonei vote, I'm mildly interested. sprityo's concern was that you're pushing the narrative (which is not uncommon from you), but I haven't seen that in what I;ve read.

What I have not seen yet are reasons for Lunalee votes. Can anyone point me to those? Turnip Head, care to give a reason why I should force a tie with my vote?

it's the sentiments in this post that bug me, he has conflicting feelings about sloonei and sprityo, and doesn't know what the case against lunalee is, but then after he asks about it doesn't really seem to put any work into finding out what the answers to that is.

sorry this isn't in the form of nsfw mega man fan fiction, im trying to level up my zubat so i can beat Whitney.

idk, i mean there's the stuff sloonei said, but there's also the end of day 3 stuff he did in response to my saying I didn't like the case on sloonei. it didn't make sense why he promoted his sprityo wagon even though Luna had the next most votes, and he didn't seem to have vocalized any reason beforehand to not want to vote for Luna.

marmot's behavior does look wonky as hell

i'm sleepy and i am going to SLEEP

i'll do the rest later, probably.

Spoiler: show

"gotta go, bye guys" said megatron, and also cybertron, who was a separate one of kyle's friends and not just a typo, "i gotta go, i really donked up, i forgot that i'm actually in the uh.... fuckin decepticon's i guess, and they're gonna be mad if they know i'm missing decepticon club, it was my mistake, in character, not the author's, so don't worry about it, anyways gotta go!" they both said in unison

"haha, okay sure" inspector gadget said "anyways first up is bullzbot."

"ssssssSSSSSSHHHHHHHhhhhhKKKKKKKkkkkkkkk" said r2d2

kyle responded, "nullz and lunalee had a handful of interactions including early on, mostly negative ones. if they are teammates then they would have had to decide on a distancing strategy pretty early, but without actually committing to it in the same way... like... okay, from luna's perspective we see luna make note of something she said she thought bullz did that was weird, then she doesn't mention it again until her comment gets commented on by dizzbot. it seems like a weak read that she just threw out to gain participation points, bullz throws out a 'no u' on that, and points out that luna's criticism was generic and basically meaningless"

"brrrrubupbpupbupbupbop?" beeboopped r2d2

"yeah. so then nothing really develops for a while, bullzeye talks about other stuff, about 5 hours before the deadline, bullz brings up another post from luna that he finds weird, and votes for her about 2 hours later. at the time of his vote, sloonei was leading in the poll."

"so what's that mean?" asked Scooby Doo, "what's the verdict, friendo?"

"hmm.... i think... i don't think it's impossible for these two to be teammates, but if they are teammates, then they adopted a distancing strategy very early on, but specifically one where they weren't on the same page. luna threw some weak garbage at bullz, and then bullz parried it with a cool rapier or something and then luna just kinda shrugged instead of responding and resolving the distancing in any meaningful way, just pointing at bullz and saying 'psshhht maybe this guy is a liar?"

"so?" asked scobey

"i guess overall i'd say.... i can see it, but i don't think there's enough there to bring out the pitchforks yet, i do also think as far as bullzeye goes, it would be useful to check out his history in terms of whether or not he was telling the truth about never bussing his teammates, as well as reviewing the events in real time to figure out at what point in time lunabot's co-badbots might have decided that bussing her was the right choice."

"byyyyarp!" shouted r2d2

nutella wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 9:44 pmActually I haven't mentioned this yet because I otherwise townread him but the other person who looked bus-ish was Kyle. His reasons are his "tie meta" (a real thing to be fair) and "also i trust her voters a lot more than i trust sloonei's, and the case makes more sense" which sounded just a little fake to me somehow. it looked like a decision that he didn't really back up with anything and this is what he came up with. Idk, I guess it could be consistent with town kyle to just state that he agrees with whatever case more in order to pick a candidate in time after doing his reading/weighing/reasoning, but it also struck me as the kind of thing a bussing teammate would say.

I said "tie meta" as a joke. that wasn't actually an example of tie-meta, outside of the fact that my vote created a tie. the purpose of tie meta is to put two equally suspicious characters in jeopardy in the final moments forcing the mafia to scramble or else leave the results in the hands of the gods in a scenario where i don't feel like i can make a decision more effectively than the um.... the aforementioned gods. my vote for Luna was more about moving sloonei out of a lead that i didn't feel was justified than about creating a lasting tie.

Well, I try to make it obvious that I'm town when I'm town (except maybe D1 for lols and reads), and then I just have a miserable time when I'm scum. : p But hey, you do you and all.

going all out and doing your best is fine but for me it just leads to burnout and hating mafia after like 2 games. by tempering my town play early on i can still enjoy the game in general regardless of what alignment i roll. and like you said, playing each game as if it's the only game that matters just leads to having more difficult games in the future for like... basically no reason.

K. Trying to be hard to read is pretty unhelpful when town imo.
