Mini Normal 2200 | Game Over

[Menalque]

yeh that happens to everyone I think. Even biffy clyro occasionally forget biffy clyro exist. they have a few good songs is a pretty fair summary. what other albums have u been listening to?

Why do you keep calling all the league things unfortunate. I have like no knowledge of league, but she seems cool. Why is she so great? 1500 words on my desk by monday

something something maybe but I’m not sure if that’s bc u are or just bc I want u to be

[Menalque]

no

noooo

[Menalque]

honestly i am going back to forgetting i think. idk i just remember "objectively okay, sometimes good" as my stance

league is generally referred to as unpleasant because it's a big time sink esp if you get into it, ive played for years and, unfortunately, love it. i love the lore even though it can be really hit or miss. also the community for it sucks but, actually, it's fun. also teamfight tactics (autochess if you know it) is stupidly fun

i am town, and you should want me to be town, so both?

oh so it’s just bc it’s a time sink. eh at least it’s productive no? Like you’re learning how to actually do something. And I don’t know teamfight tactics or autochess tbh. I may have to google the lore of the character now tho, I’m genuinely curious

I want so much to believe these things are both true

[Menalque]

how would we have a cop check on ali

[Menalque]

im probably just annoyed iwth lucy

yes

[Menalque]

learning the macro plays of league of legends is perhaps the least useful thing i could do in my life, but if anyone ever wants to know how to play support heroes in games now i have all the answers.

lux lore is not... as good as i make it out to be, in canon, but i could go on and on about the Nuances. the Taste. the way she's a silly little centrist who needs to grow up and yet i believe in her wholeheartedly and that's saying nothing about other characters she could interact with

well, i am town, so i think we have settled THIS matter. just believe me. i would not lie to you and speak of lux league of legends in the same breath

no no, trust me, there are less useful things. My like, last few months stand testament lol

I know what all of those words mean technically and yet. I like the... energy tho. Good vibes projected when u talk about her

How about this. What if u buy me lunch if ur scum

[Menalque]

maybe I will have a steve jobs-esque moment in 10 years when somehow my consumption of chips and excessive watching of YouTube movements will give me some penny drop moment of insight into some project I'm working on. but i doubt.

yes, yessss. do it. give the people what they want. I am glad to hear ur the best league fan in the world. what r the criteria?

okay, but then there's a real risk that I don't buy u lunch at all. what about if I buy u lunch if I'm town?

[Menalque]

Is it u

U can tell me if it is

I won’t tell them

[Menalque]

Fark?

[Menalque]

You could vote fark

That would be cool

[Menalque]

wait did you mean someone (as in anyone) to tell you to vote anybody sort from (day norwee luca me)

Or did you mean anyone other than (day norwee luca mena) tell you who to vote

?

[Menalque]

Just finished a scumgame if anyone’s interested viewtopic.php?f=83&t=86045&start=575

[Menalque]

Luca could u do me a solid and stop voting town ty

[Menalque]

God that PP lim was so trash lol

[Menalque]

The line I heard earlier was that Menalque always Townbins Skitter until later in the game regardless?

This is the post I was going off of. Maybe I'm reading it as more confident than it is.

yah the idea that scum!skitt kills pooky N1 is kinda ridiculous imo

I think that even given the PR claim this is a weird kill for skitt to make

Like maaaaybe if her team really wanted it? But like pooky was probably not ever gonna vote skitter this game, and was a loud voice in favour of that

Look at how much easier the attempts to wagon her have been today vs yesterday

[Menalque]

She wouldn’t have killed pooky? And also I think she’s right when she says that while she prob would have TR me, I don’t think there was a lot of incentive for her to put that much effort into saving me yesterday as scum instead of just letting me be limmed and being on the right side of it

Like think about it

If I die yesterday while calling (norwee, fark, day) scum, then skitter is perfectly positioned to push them on following days

If I live then we end up in this confused state where there’s 2 “blocs” kinda, and it’s unclear, and skitter herself is a target

Given that she’s particularly good at predicting future days’ conflicts in advance, why does she knowingly choose world 2 there?

[Menalque]

It’s like you have to choose that skitter has been playing suboptimally all game in multiple ways to think she’s scum, for very little compensation

That’s not a theory that makes sense

[Menalque]

@skitt who do u think you’d have killed

[Menalque]

This is just a really dumb order to do things in Luca

Let’s just flip fark and if he’s town then we can talk more about skitter

But if we go skitter!town -> fark!scum that’s just like... so dumb

[Menalque]

@skitt who do u think you’d have killed

Luca or day

y

[Menalque]

Would become a big threat to town assuming they started to townread Farkr

The odds of this happening were... not good

[Menalque]

How are you reading Lucy and S_S, Luca?

[Menalque]

I think skitt is v town

[Menalque]

Who do u think is town

[Menalque]

Luca, Day, Chara, Farkran, Norwee, Menalque Town.

Oh right

[Menalque]

Okay I think perhaps we’re at an impasse, Luca

[Menalque]

Luca i know how he plays and i'm p sure he would not have

I’m not sure I know how he plays re: his alignment, but big +1 on this

[Menalque]

What the fuck ydrasse

[Menalque]

I cannot believe u didn’t neighbourise me

[Menalque]

My solve is Chara and Lucy

VOTE: Chara

Nyet

[Menalque]

Lucy is town

[Menalque]

I feel strongly about this

[Menalque]

VOTE: ali

[Menalque]

Who is town

Me
Isis
Day
Norwee, regrettably

How many left

S_S
Chara
Luca
Ali

[Menalque]

(Luca, ali) makes a lot of sense

[Menalque]

I think I wanna yeet ali and then deadshep em if town

[Menalque]

YDRASSE

[Menalque]

[Menalque]

Oh, it is just chara huh

VOTE: chara

[Menalque]

The only thing I can suggest is to just keep an open mind about Mena being scum.

lol that’s ridiculous

[Menalque]

Yes lol

[Menalque]

I’m like the towniest slot in the game by far

[Menalque]

The night kills don’t make sense from me, especially skitter

I was clearly a lim Farkran was trying for on D1 when I was at a lot of risk of being limmed

My interactions with fark spew me as super non-partnered especially where he was trying to get me to change my mind on him

[Menalque]

Farkran can you substantiate why you actually SR me?

I feel like you are playing the core of your scumgame

Big opening, try to become everyone's buddy

Upon failure, wait patiently until the focus shifts somewhere else

Appear seldomly to avoid being lurkshot, without providing anything substantial

In contrast with the town!mena i know who is way less buddying and much more insightful, perhaps even too aggressive at times

I remember town!you forming reads quickly and they haven't been always accurate but far from terrible in the games we played together

Like this

[Menalque]

@luca why should I still think ur town given how long you spent avoiding voting fark yesterday?

[Menalque]

Hmm

Maybe not luca

Chara + (ali/S_S) i guess

[Menalque]

Wait tomorrow is mylo wtf

[Menalque]

Again, thinking I’m scum here is ridiculous and one of the main reasons I’m susp of you

[Menalque]

I mean we’re flipping chara regardless

I’m telling u Lucy will not end up being scum, so that hypothetical is p meaningless
But eh it can wait, if chara is scum then it’s prob just S_S

[Menalque]

I actually haven’t found S_S v towny this game but I’ve just been trusting skitter

[Menalque]

Fwiw I do think it's pretty likely Menalqie and I share an alignment

That’s an interesting thing for you to say

[Menalque]

So why did you stop?

Pool of people is getting real small

[Menalque]

Like assuming that I’m right on my day and norwee reads

That’s me, Lucy, day, norwee all town

I *think* I believe Luca is still town. I was thinking at night that it was weird for him to like... mishandle his buddy being wagoned that strongly

So that’s literally.. chara, you, ali

[Menalque]

If fark and I were bussing he doesn’t start trying to buddy me D2

[Menalque]

Also, again, why would I ever kill skitter this game while I’m scum

[Menalque]

I also wanna note that if ali is scum then I called it like super early D1 that (ali, fark) were aligned

[Menalque]

If memory serves me right he is p good at that as scum actually, yeah

[Menalque]

Because Lucy is just a villager

[Menalque]

I was thinking about it a lot overnight and game to the conclusion that you’re strongly town

[Menalque]

Yeh that’s the other thing I’m trusting on Luca

[Menalque]

Luca beat me once as scum in a newbie iirc and he did it by being super lowkey all game

[Menalque]

Luca beat me once as scum in a newbie iirc and he did it by being super lowkey all game

Do you think I’ve been like that this game?

Eh kinda?

But then u have so many posts so

[Menalque]

Day can’t be scum right

[Menalque]

Like surely the setup is not so bluntly just roleblocker and roleblocker enabler

Especially as like, if it were that, scum would be weakened by losing fark A LOT

and we already know we have a vig which is strong + pooky

[Menalque]

Anyway either scum had that forced on them yesterday or were complicit and the easiest answer to that question is flipping chara

[Menalque]

No offence Luca but i never really thought of you as being town leader here, just widely TR

Also why must scum have a roleblocker? I doubt they do

[Menalque]

What

No

Why

[Menalque]

How is maybe the word i was most looking for

[Menalque]

Sigh

If only implo had ever replied to my application to be an NRG member

[Menalque]

Wait, did they? I don’t remember anyone saying it but I guess I might have just missed it

[Menalque]

That’s like an interesting way to characterise your play tho

[Menalque]

I’m sure u tried

[Menalque]

Huh

Okay

Do you think it’s just chara and S_S?

[Menalque]

It feels too neat but maybe it just is

[Menalque]

Yeh another town RB should definitely claim

I think day’s play around the whole thing is prooooobably too weird to be partnered so my bet is also prob ali if it’s not (chara, S_S)

[Menalque]

Although I am a bit concerned you’ve been playing for a longterm pocket on me to get paid off in endgame

[Menalque]

Is there something we're waiting for?

[Menalque]

Nomination is the only game on site I’m still kind of salty about

[Menalque]

Dope, thanks IV

[Menalque]

If chara flips scum then I’d like to use my norwee vig shot IV

[Menalque]

GGs

[Menalque]

S_S, did u believe my softs?

[Menalque]

Subject: Mini Normal 2200 | Penguin's Salt Mine | Dead PT

Heya mena!
I think i had a good game

Didn’t have time to respond to this but hi and yes u were the MVP imo

[Menalque]

Ali also played really well

[Menalque]

gg town sorry for not playing that well!

U were fine apart from terrible use of ur power

[Menalque]

The neighbourhood pt is hilarious

[Menalque]

This setup is impressively close to balanced

Probably is if u remove UB or TA

[Menalque]

let’s all simply join another game together

[Menalque]

"this is incredibly close to balanced. Remove the TA and it's balanced".

How the heck do you value roles? Do you realize a traffic analyst is a lazy sane cop with like 15% misses? That's a massive role

I just look at the setup and it speaks back to me

There was slightly too much potential for mechclears in endgame and scum didn’t have a counter to that

[Menalque]

u owe me food first smfh

That is an excellent point, what do u want

[Menalque]

Welcome back games are cracked in terms of PLs

[Menalque]

u owe me food first smfh

That is an excellent point, what do u want

sushi

where from

[Menalque]

And I stg if u say either of “Japan” or “the sea”...

[Menalque]

i’m spewing my heart out here on my sushi places of choice and you think i’d joke ???

I thought you might play with your words like u play with my heart

[Menalque]

S_S, did u believe my softs?

No.

Why did u kill me then lol?

[Menalque]

loooool, sorry, it’s just that I was actually super paranoid of lucy by EoD and if I’d lived I’d probably have pushed for her over you

[Menalque]

My logic on faking being so confident on Lucy town was (1) to fake the soft and (2) I figured Lucy!scum prob wouldn’t kill me if I was the only person saying “no, isis is definitely town, we go elsewhere first”

[Menalque]

Ali also played really well

This wasn’t too amazing of a game for me tbh

You didn’t play hard but you played well

Voted scum each day and a good gambit

I’m p happy with how I played

But tbh I think this game maybe has a different tone if skitter doesn’t hard commit to me being town D1 and fight that wagon off

[Menalque]

That’s why I think skitt is mvp here: she played hard and resisted at key moments, and pushed at the right times too

[Menalque]

Skitter felt like glue that stopped the town falling apart

That’s the best way I can think of to describe it

[Menalque]

@luca maybe I’m biased bc u were TRing me but I thought you did p fine even if ur SRs were off
