Escape From Trump Tower [GAME OVER]

[novaselinenever]

Also that's weirdly formatted post lolol

It is?

I think so. The repetition of "I have a town impression of" with them lined up one after the other feels weird lol

[juliets]

(Also I kinda think they’re scummy but I have to do some homework to see if that holds up but also I don’t want to cause that’s work)

Ok, I know you'll do it eventually and speak your mind when you do so I'll be patient.

[novaselinenever]

112 jumping on something early on is on par with what she does as scum according to her other post lol

Do you mean her finding Sloonei as wolfy or something else? I went back to her post about how she forms reads and what she does as town and didn't see anything that was inconsistent in her posts. What am I missing?

It was before that. Her expanding on finding my stances on entrance being weird. Somewhere in page 2 think

[novaselinenever]

I'll be back later

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

I no longer have a 112 scumread, someone tell me a better place to vote

[juliets]

Ok, so it's maybe not the way you would have communicated it. When it comes to me communications try to keep in mind I try to be clear, so at times you may find that wordy or repetitive or too much unnecessary information. It's just my communication style.

[juliets]

Is Soneji always this quiet? It's been so long since I played with him I can't remember.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Juliets/nova/112 are off the table for me, Epi and sloonei probably too. Probably scirrus too actually.

Someone sell me on a vote outside that group please, I don’t want to do more work

[112]

I'd vote jack but don't want to vote someone who hasn't really posted.^

Same with mp7.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

You sold me a jack vote it is

[112]

meant long con, not mp7^

[Long Con]

Go for it bro.

[Long Con]

'Scuse me: Go for it, sis.

[juliets]

Replace me with nanook and the same players are off the table for me. I'll also throw in Dizzy.

I figure most people are working though and may not be able to post during the day so I'll wait and see who brings what to the party tonight. I guess for MP though it will be tomorrow (based on his earlier post).

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

How many is a winning POE here? Nine or ten?

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Let’s say it’s nine cause ten is fucking ridiculous tbh

Currently I have Jules/nova/112/Epi/sloonei/scirrus on my no kill list, so that’s 7/9 including myself.

Who wants to stand up and be townread?

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Sure dizzy can be 8/9

Now we need one more and we have a a starting point

[Dyslexicon]

[Long Con]

I'll take the last slot.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Honestly the last slot is probably MP’s if he comes in and MP’s it up

[Epignosis]

A civilian Sloonei would love "solid reads at this point." It gives him a chance to figure things out later.

Sloonei is not a civilian. Lynch him now.

Tell me a little bit about Sloonei

Does he have trouble keeping a town mindset as scum?

I agree that not wanting solid reads is not really a pro-town thing to say

But I feel like experienced scum would try to avoid saying things like that, because they would look bad. And he strikes me as an experienced player

Sloonei is an excellent civilian. He's a thread leader and a facilitator in the sense that he welcomes and explores hot takes. He also bounces around with his votes to see what comes of it.

He struggles to maintain a civilian facade as mafia. That isn't to say he can't do it. He can.

And not that I buy into post count meaning much, but Sloonei with 25 posts at this point is pretty...shall I say it?

Uninspiring.

I think he's caught and he's clammed up.

[112]

Good news, guys: I made a friend irl. gonna visit them later this week. it's good times here.

[112]

Go for it bro.

Cocky. I'm not sure how I feel.

This is pretty scathing although I can't say how accurate it is to his meta.

[Epignosis]

I'm still a touch behind and will remain as such until after Worms tonight.

[Dyslexicon]

Wow, I wish I was town this game so something would happen =p

[Epignosis]

Juliets seems towny by my meta of her. She doesn't use contractions and writes pretty bluntly sometimes, so she always looks kinda sketch, but I'd lean town on her right now owing to the complicatedness of her Sloonei read- I think she's being genuine when she says she doesn't know how to read him well and is concerned with being fooled again. She says she's reading him more as town now, but it's an early back-and-forth type read and those tend to come from townies more often than wolves; wolves are more inclined to stick with an early read throughout a greater duration of the round and don't flip-flop so soon. I think she's showing true uncertainty.

Regarding Sloonei, I can see him as a wolf personally. His questions don't seem to go anywhere and he's forcing the humour a bit.

"Doesn't use contractions."

That's some new age level adverbial shit right there.

@MacDougall and @NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME, hello. I'm curious why you have voted for 112. I didn't see anything in your posts so far that tells me but maybe I missed something.

I voted for the person who was at the top of the list.

I would love to hear some impressions or leans or whatever you're comfortable with at this point. I don't have any impression of you right now except I like you and Jack is funny. Please give me something to work with.

[Tangrowth]

Alright, I'm here to catch up and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum.

[Tangrowth]

"Glad to see Ted Cruz alive and well."

Things I never thought I'd say.

Best post.

[Tangrowth]

Heist hype!

[insert obligatory slank cover here — that I may or may not still post a lot but still needs to be said given how busy I am right now]

Also, it’s clear which door is best.

You have a door in your avatar, sort of, so I assume you know what you are talking about.

Damn straight.

[Tangrowth]

Good night

I... really am going to need you to expand on some of those, maybe? But I like your style.

[Tangrowth]

Spoiler: show

This game will be the best game in the history of mafia. People keep saying to me, "Escape From Trump Tower" is the best game.

good

Unoriginal, think a baddie Sloonei does better there

I mean I’ll take it, but what?

Using the theme to crack a joke and make an entrance, meme-ing using Trump quotes feels unoriginal. It's actually something I'd be pinged about usually, like it's more prevalent for scum to break the ice that way. It's a nice way to sling some shits, and get stuff going.

Not this time though

I feel like trying to form a read on an entrance like that is more scum-breaking-icey than the entrance itself.

How so?

Mostly that it's often a wolf's first attempt at engaging in game-relevant talk. When I'm wolfing I feel pressure to say something meaty right away, and pretending to read into a fluff post is an easy way to get a foot in.

I like this take. It does seem a bit forced, but eh, I imagine with the rate nova is posting that I'll wait and see what the rest of the thread holds as well.

[Tangrowth]

Good morning all and welcome Scirrus!

So those tildes under Powers. Back in the old, old, old days that represented text that we were supposed to try and fill in to discover what was being said (in this case what powers are in the game). Anyone else remember the tilde exercises? I think I'll ask G-Man what the deal is and ask him to respond in the thread.

This post feels a bit wordier than it needs to be. Stressing that she’s going to ask G-man feels like she’s going out of her way to demonstrate her forward-thinkingness. But that’s more of a mild ping for juliets than it would be for others.

Hmmm... I can dig that.

[Tangrowth]

Dizzy, lol, I do not know what to make of this.

Carefree Dizzy is always good.

[Tangrowth]

hi

Hey FG, is this our first game together other than that turbo? I think so.

I believe it's my first game with Scirrus as well... and I don't remember playing with nova much.

[Tangrowth]

Hello all. My name is DrWilgy and I AM YOUR FATHER.

Pleasure to meat you

This may just be my favorite variation yet.

[MacDougall]

Who is the towniest player on day 1 I need to sheep them. Sorry I overstocked on games.

[Tangrowth]

Oh for anyone new to me (that's probably most of you) feel free to ask me whatever you want!
I've played on and off on another site (PersonalityCafe) for about a year and a half, 20 or so games. I know Dizzy but that's about it.

Oh I played a couple games there! But I don't believe we played together.

[Tangrowth]

How about we solve this together?

[Tangrowth]

are you not doing that ambiguously european accent in this game nanook

It’s distinctly Irish and tommy isn’t here so no lol

I can do a different accent if you want tho

Oh fuck, can I request one? Scottish.

What is your general approach to the game? What will you be looking for on Day 1 and later on?

Nothing real specific. I rely pretty heavily on meta reading on my other site lol, but that won't work here.

Prolly just gonna prod around where I think something should be prodded at.

I think the ideal way of approaching the game is building a town core of people you can trust and solving scum through POE

My approach to later days isn't much different except obviously you have flips and interactions you can work with

I think we'll get along just fine.

[Tangrowth]

What’s that, do a bad italian american accent?

Ok, I will a do that a for a you

Nevermind, this is cool.

I was just trying to explain it clearly because I knew most people wouldn't be familiar with it. I'm not sure what you are saying about forward thinkingness but that's ok. You can explain later if you still have issues with it.

Like "I'm going to ask the host so that he can explain it to us, Fellow Townies."

There's not much you could say about this anyway. I'm more interested in hearing whether or not you've got any reads at this stage.

No. Just no. You no better than this.

What do you mean?

I'll be the savant who only has to look at clues and make snap decisions and you can do all the work.

Sloonei is not a civilian. Lynch him now.

Feels nitpicky, but I can see where you're coming from with this one at least.

That's actually the ideal relationship for me, so let's do it baby.

It was Day 0 at that point. I was responding to a couple of people who expressed a lack of conviction at that point. I do not expect anyone to have things figured out at this stage, and I would not want them to pretend to either.

No sir.

I would certainly hope that no one has any solid reads at this point. It'd be a mistake to think so. But it should be possible to have impressions of things. That's more what I'm asking for at this stage.

"I do not expect" is not the same thing as "I would certainly hope."

Epignosis can be town for now.
