Backyard Baseball Main Thread (MAFIA WIN)

[Dolby]

Like they're in the jay "JuSt KiLl MaFiA" group that sees mech as a fun bonus but not a legitimate way to solve the game afaik

I may be mistaken in that impression, but yeah, afaik they're not really a mech game breaker

Correct.

And i’m also semi-retired. I’m Albert Pujols.

now see, i know this is a lie

[Stupid Sexy Flanders]

Bold statement ^
Pretty sure Pujols is an adult.

[Dolby]

idk if i want hk to pitch on the melonheads. I just know that I'd rather have me or Michelle pitching on the monsters

[Sloonei]

Disclaimer: I am not role claiming Albert Pujols.

falcon45ca would personally rather have you go infield, but am only going to enforce it if ddl and porscha both want to go outfield, so you can probably go outfield if you want

Sloonei infield

I don't have confidence in any of melonheads lineup. The only people that I could have a take on are HK and Flanders. Maybe I'll try to force HK to switch his position to outfield, idk if I even townread flanders over him though tbh

I'm only giving myself and Michelle pitching permissions on the Monsters.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

DragonDLuffy has approval to go outifeld

There's no outfield option in the poll.

[Dolby]

DragonDLuffy has approval to go outifeld

There's no outfield option in the poll.

left field right field and center field = the outfield positions.

you can also go infield if you want (you have a significantly better fielding stat would be the main reason) (any position that isn't outfield) as long as you don't go pitcher

Admittedly I'm a bit out of my league with this setup, but should figure out the mechanics as the game progresses. Too much mech talk always distracts from the real purpose of the game.
My character's strongest attribute is pitching, but can also play field positions, probably doesn't actually matter all that much anyways (unless it does) I dunno.

I'll switch to a field position, but if kat is a bunk pitcher imma lose my shiz in the dugout.

- Real talk: anything to make of falc and nook weird little cross votey thing or nah? Gut read don't like it.. can't really process why at this point though.
Michelle feels good. Dolby getting townsided for now as well, but would like to see more thoughts on players, less on mech.

Out of everyone on the roster, I think I've only played with falcon, so I won't have meta reads on anyone. Would like some meta drops if possible.

Hmmmmm


[VOTE: Nook] aubergine

i have no real take on it, nanook's crossvote is retaliatory probs, which can be town or scum from him. Who do you not like in that?

if @hollowkatt comes back before deadline i might try to convince him to switch to field so you can pitch. I think I like your slot best on your team rn

[Stupid Sexy Flanders]

More than anything, it seems w/w to me, omgus factor included. Falc has a tendency to try and distance early when he's an uncomfortable wolf, and it could just be an early push off.

It's a petty soft read on that rn, but knowing this aspect of his meta is probably why I don't like it.

[falcon45ca]

flanders and nanook, got any reads?

i really only got that michelle is a bit town town

porscha being pretty lost might also be a bit town

I know falcon from our homesite, but I'm not sure on his entrance. Other than being mystified by falc, I have nothing yet.

You seem pretty towny, so I like my vote there for now.

Mystified, eh?


That's a four dollar word if I ever heard one. Have you subscribed to Grammarly lately?

I already swapped to catcher, you can pitch idc. If we lose b/c I'm a better pitcher than you I'm going to personally chop you

[hollowkatt]

anyways towns:
dolby
michelle
falcon?
ddl

everyone else don't care much

[Dolby]

winning the simulation game is not the important thing

the important thing is funneling as many points to town as possible

that's why i want towny people at pitcher and in the outfield

tbh hk snagging the pitching slot and then giving up quickly is a bit towny

[Dolby]

HK talk to me about why Falcon is town

Pitching is my second strongest behind contact, and is strongest defensive attribute.

kinda want to ignore the mechanics behind the mini-game play and evaluate based on results and pushes.

Game you say?

[Creature]

Discussing who should throw and who should get the purchase points at this point is probably counterproductive because we're not even sure how we read each other and wolves could easily make a good early impression and get the points. We should just each play to win the mini-game and then track who got how many points.

unsure if any of the fielded balls were spectatuclar or not, I'm assuming none of them were but it could be a secret idk, I'd assume that they are mentioned though

[hollowkatt]

i have no pp and I am sad

I have my takes on what items should be purchased and which shouldn't in general, or at this point in the game, but im not sure if i should share them
