Micro 1078: Datisi's micro normals are back [game over]

[hellbooks]

IM HERE IM HERE VOTE: osuka

[hellbooks]

Working on a ten pages google doc chainsawing baltar

[hellbooks]

VOTE: skygazer
why

[hellbooks]

hellbooks: i looked at ur post history and i'm like 95% sure we've met irl !!!

yes, this is she

[hellbooks]

i knowww im so sorry you have to play on the other side

[hellbooks]

omg stopppp their gonna think im bussing u

[hellbooks]

hellbooks: i looked at ur post history and i'm like 95% sure we've met irl !!!

well that's not creepy

What do you mean it was at the pre-game scum mixer event.... u were there too if i recall

[hellbooks]

hey, VP Baltar. am i zoomer nonsense or not?

Vote baltar -> you are zoomer nonsense
Do not -> you are not

[hellbooks]

sorry you all gonna trust BALTAR over ME????? THAT GUY????? I SAW HIM AT THE SCUM MIXER

[hellbooks]

when i saw the skitter vote i was like oh yea baby. that like makes a beautiful and wonderous amount of sense for you to do right now and i like it. on the other hand, the baltar spoiler is kind of word for word some shit i would say as scum to put forth the image of having a forward thinking and productively minded thought process

[hellbooks]

if i was scum and still in my rumpled suit fresh from the scum mixer i would vote skitter bc i would be like "that seems like a towny thing to do right now in the current climate" in fact i even considered doing it my self as i am now. much to think about

[hellbooks]

to be clear: bc i thought the ausuka post was town. I just thought there was a towny amount of exclamation marks. Maybe if it had been one more exclamation mark i would be like hmmm the lady doth protest too much. as the zoomer nonsensites say.

[hellbooks]

continuing on my train of superstitious lexical scumhunting, i think "elaboratable" is one of the more scummy words one could use in a post. i am speaking of skygazer's post which you may reference near the top of the page

[hellbooks]

quintuple posting is a nightmare for my "holding on to the goon title" campaign so i dearly hope that youre reading and enjoying. it would pain me greatly if i were tossing my precious limited number of remaining posts wantonly into the fire for the sake of an audience that like hates them.

[hellbooks]

puzzling take on "elaboratable", despite that not actually being a real word. please expound

youre asking me to expound on THAT of all things? on superstition? as if one could explain the mechanism by which throwing salt over ones shoulder leads to good luck? to use one of my precious remaining goon posts on something like THAT? no!!!! i shant!!!! i shant use one of my posts on such frivolous matters!!!! Did you not hear me make known my dire predicaments? Then hear me now!!!! each one of my remaining Precious Posts is a little baby that i must nurture with focused and earnest hands into a highly serious, aesthetically towny, and exclusively game-advancing endeavor! so no!!!! i shall not be expounding!!!! For such a thing is not, as the zoomer nonsensites say, "elaboratable" !!!!

[hellbooks]

submitting to the court that sharing a dream one has, that also happens to position one as town-minded, is another documented hellbrooks scum tactic ! Its not the dream im worried over but the manner in which she chose to share it. remember we are sirens, and posting is our song. Also, lets simply highlight ausuka's read on skitter if only so that people will keep it in their minds that it was made, and the timing lf it. so that she may take responsibility for it if the time comes. Finally i would like to thank you all for the salvo of townreads. Peace and Love

[hellbooks]

but what if i was liking your posts though what then

[hellbooks]

but what if i was liking your posts though what then

well i would probably be scum

The legendary self-meta scumread

[hellbooks]

i think my day one gameplan is to figure out who is townier between skitter/ausuka and sheep them

no offense but i think you day one game plan is to get limmed by me ㅠㅠ

[hellbooks]

Serious voice alert!!!! I had a seizure this morning, which has never happened before, so I'm not sure of what my capacity to post. I'm chillin in the ER right now. I'm feeling extremely tired and my head doesnt feel all together right now. I think you should expect me to take a break from this game for maybe today and tomorrow. I'm alright though and things are almost certainly going to be fine so don't worry about me. TY!

[hellbooks]

hello everyone! I am sort of back. I still feel extremely tired and my jaw and legs are very sore (I suppose thats from the extended spasming) and my heads not entirely on. now that ive sufficiently made myself immune to criticism i will continue with my post as scheduled...

i am somewhat conflicted on meuh bc i have gut scumread a few posts but i also like the things she's saying about skitter. i will think on this

i was also feeling meuh scumposting for much of page 9 and even a little bit onto the skitter points (but at that point my eyes were glazed over) i had been feeling like her approach at that point was kind of like to collect some complicated posts and then pass some kind of judgment on it -- without also strongly feeling the need to compel others -- and then move on. meuh might have fallen into that sweet spot of never beinguseless but also not being one of the great innovators-- like a secondarily useful player --, a strata that i find a large band of competent scum players end up falling into in the first half of a game

meuh feels town but id say thats definitely within the scumrange of most players so ill have to hold off on clearing that for d1

quite a space filling statement -- like someone who is invested in seeming opinionated. for someone who is prodging "shamelessly" surely there has to be some self-consciousness between this bundle of null reads. ironically the point being made is not so different from my own but remember that even hypocrites are sometimes right

[hellbooks]

Idk why she forces herself to have a sky scumread as town ...

thats like what im doing

also i think you should be allowed to townread people who arent solving

[hellbooks]

VOTE: osuka gonnajump ship onto team meuh so she can strengthen the contraindicative association between me and osuka

[hellbooks]

if you were scum skitter and seeing that the ausuka campaign was being met with a ton of resistance and also were finding your own personal standing in jeopardy from pushing it, what would you do? im genuinely curious. my first thought would be "well wouldnt scum want to try and wind this down and look for an easier miselim?" but maybe people dont actually think like that. maybe people die on hills more often than i think, instead of intentionally executing scum actions that benefit their own, maybe they do their best to just fully adopt a town mindset, with all its associated baggage, and counterproductive results. what narrative makes more sense here to you all?

[hellbooks]

sorry sorry. i just got embarrassed. like i know skitter is one of those Great Players and maybe shes like reading that and being like wtf are you saying lol do you even play this game more than once a year

[hellbooks]

ok I hope hes town then B)

[hellbooks]

what if we all just took a deep breath and a step back and then wagoned meuh
meuh, are you ok withthat ? just lmk

[hellbooks]

This post bugs the hell out of me, mostly. Meuh's obv pushing you, but idk how she sees Hellbrooks as your buddy.

i dont actually know why its so implausible and i also think she said it waslike poe in response to you asking whethrer it was

i'm off to eat food because there is a void in my stomach that might actually bend spacetime if i dont go attend to that situation fairly soon, but i promise ill be back in a bit to post the hottest takes in all of space and time

its a reach but i think this is like a timy bit scummy

what if we all just took a deep breath and a step back and then wagoned meuh
meuh, are you ok withthat ? just lmk

Ooh sounds fun

GRRRR RRRRUFFF BARK BARK GROWLLL AWOOOOO VOTE: meuh i hope thisisnt like hammering you im still 4 pages behind (alsopossible im already voting you and just forgor)

even if i don't end up feeling like i want to stick with the meuh vote (possible. i am feeling mercurial), hellbooks keeps like assessing the gamestate and the direction in which it should go and proposing that direction in like the same way that i am feeling at the time of reading it and i think that's worth at least 1 townpoint

my favorite genre of posts (not a hint of irony btw) in this game is when fireisredsir goes like "i guess this thing hellbooks is doing can be kinda town..." it makes me think like im fighting against some original sin like my ledger started out at like -10 and im only clawing my way back to the slightest sliver of towniness by sheer relentlessness of will

[hellbooks]

meta-users does osuka's aggro seem normal for him

[hellbooks]

my favorite genre of posts (not a hint of irony btw) in this game is when fireisredsir goes like "i guess this thing hellbooks is doing can be kinda town..." it makes me think like im fighting against some original sin like my ledger started out at like -10 and im only clawing my way back to the slightest sliver of towniness by sheer relentlessness of will

or maybe it suggests that fire is performing a thoughtful & self reflective mindset B) omg noooo the shade thats gonna be like so bad for me im gonna goback to -10 again

[hellbooks]

Probably the latter since this post is incredibly disingenuous.
You want my vote on you instead, here you go!

i know this is sooooooooooo random but why is this towny to me
its a towny amount of exclamation marks and im not even being joking this time. mostly

i also like to use that word gestalt. ive been using it this whole time as a verb (like "this collection of posts gestalts a scum angle") which upon research seems to be incorrect but i think im going to keep doing it.

[Datisi]

speaking of rvs i actualy made the baltar chainsaw gdoc and forgot to share it

[redacted word google document link, contents of which are in the spoiler below]

Spoiler:

[hellbooks]

sorry datisi
when i posted that i even was like "maybe this is against the rules" and then i went and reread the rules but i guess i just missed it again

[hellbooks]

ppl from baltimore must have scummy auras

guy who didnt understand the wire

[hellbooks]

VOTE: osuka
back in my pro-meuh era
i'd like to try and drum up some controversy by suggesting a shocking fire/baltar scum team

[hellbooks]

i think meuh should wall post at tris more honestly shes been coasting

[hellbooks]

over the course of the last page i totally started coming around to the zoomer nonsensites townreading ausuka. anyway, it feels like three people acting independently just coincidentally found themselves on vice principal baltar's wagon. i dont know what to make of that -- whether it tells a story about his alignment, or whether it's just a symptom of the lack of cohesion. but honestly, idk why fire isnt voting him too. E1 jitters?

[hellbooks]

who was it that quoted skygazers "im weak doctor" post or whatever it was and said it was a super town post because i just remembered that i totally disagreed with that

[hellbooks]

osuka, I am going to rate each of your most recent posts out of 10. if you take offense to any of these ratings you can think of me as one of those columnist parasite critics who don't know anything about REAL art.

581: 4/10
582: 3/10
583: 5/10
584: 5/10
585: 8/10
586: conflicted 4/10
587: 3/10
588: 2/10

i took the liberty of displaying this data in a Graph. thank you all for your attention. Peace and Love

[hellbooks]

there was that one fire post about how the game state was confusing and there were no clearly town characters or thoughts to place ones anchor down on and that post seemed to impress a lot of people but idk for me thats just like every micro ever. maybe im just built different. and by that i mean in a way that is worse.

[hellbooks]

Its the evolutionary biologicial need to have at least one class clown in a mafia game that makes people not want to lim me

[hellbooks]

Basically i just goof off and that usually gets me to like D3. then everyones like "wait wtf we really gotta get rid of this guy." thats when i fakeclaim some shit such as like odd night loud doctor and everyones like oh ok i guess never mind. That how i make it to endgame on all of my scum games you can check my history, no bewlshit.

[hellbooks]

A lot like this one i imagine

[hellbooks]

osuka wagon response is the tiniest bit town to me but maybe im too easily swayed by things as that
definitely down for a expeditious meuh pivot
honestly is tris not literally coasting scum
also do the skitter antis still feel that way and just moved on to bigger priorities

[hellbooks]

honestly ausuka also vanished after people stopped voting her

[hellbooks]

right -- honestly i think broadly speaking scum has more of an incentive to not vanish but such a thing is context dependent and i thoguht it was worth pointing out that maybe this fits into what the ausuka haters were saying regarding her play being reactive or whatever

[hellbooks]

if you go take a look at skygazers iso youll see that like over half of her posts are dedicated to chainsawing ausuka off of meta

[hellbooks]

which perversely i cant seem to help but townread

[hellbooks]

the real 10 page gdoc was the posts we made along the way

[hellbooks]

it does feel like theres this sentiment of discomfort on going forward with osuka or meuh to its conclusion bc of their sluggish atmospheres. osuka and meuh have positioned themselves in opposition to each other, but not in a way thats like "i think this person is definitely scum and it's do or die time!" which i guess can be read as kind of a limp and self-conscious attempt at preservation, but its just like.... blah. you know. and everyone is like "yeah i GUESS we can lim one of them" which makes the wagons feel even weirder: like there's some sort of forces of opportunism for a miselim at play.

if even one person tells me that they think tris is playing within her scumrange i would place her as a top contender for limming, ... and i just dont like her pool of townreads at all tbh.

as for expounding on you, meuh, i dont know exactly what you want from me. looks like im just being fickle about you

[hellbooks]

ugh but then its like maybe people should just effing pick one and go for it no thoughts head empty and come back D2 with fresh eyes and minds just feels like everyones kind of at risk of burning out already bc of pace issue

[hellbooks]

Who is this "baltar" you speak of? I never heard of him ㅠㅠ

[hellbooks]

and i just dont like her pool of townreads at all tbh.

whys that

cuz of my baltarfire spicy solve uh oh... meuhs not gonna like that i said that... But in reality it just didnt sit right w me idk, like you were picking all the ppl who seemed to me potentially poised to deepwolf (back at it again with my baltar wagon denialism)

[hellbooks]

i want to preface this by saying that this is going to be the worst post ever made by someone getting wagoned. if there was a scummy for worst post of the year this might win it. i fear this is going to be getting into new horizons of ATE or WIFOM or however it would be categorized. they might even have to come up with an entirely new acronym for it, perhaps we could call it HGFP (hot girl fail posting). i am extremely sorry for this and know that i truly do only want the best for this game, and for the truth to prevail. and after some thought this really did seem like the best that i could come up with. and so please understand that this post had to be made, because at my core, i am only a Poster -- who is really just doing her best to assume, for the duration of this game, the role of a Mafia Player. and such is this poster's burden that i feel: that universal and undeniable compulsion to Speak our Truths. this is surely a source of great strife. for in every horrendous take is a person who believes in it; is blinded by it; finds themselves a mere avatar of its message.

skitter said she voted me wanting to see what happens, and i wondered what this meant. did she want me to try harder to solve the game? unfortunately i think this is beyond my capabilities. i dont have a secret bonus gamesolving brain part that i only take out of storage when im under pressure. it may not look like it but i'm giving it all i got from page 1. in the end, perhaps the reason that im sharing this worst of worst posts boils down to this: it is all that i have left to share.

so it must be said that i utterly delighted in reading meuh's baltbooks theory post. it didnt even occur to me to feel offended at being accused so comprehensively, so contagious and genuine was her dawning excitement, and so compelling the narrative. i dont think ive been hit with such an exciting case in years or maybe ever. usually when people suspect me it feels much more like a "death by thousand cuts" scenario -- little failings here and there, me not putting in the effort where others have, things like that. although it may be plausible that this is scum happy to find an opportune miselim angle or very charismatically presenting a bad faith argument, i am simply helpless against finding that post to be a good and wonderful town post. it was my favorite post in this game, and i'd like to hand meuh the immunity idol. i was so genuinely pleased and touched to see all of my silly little posts being quoted and sparking such a passionate reaction. my brain, instead of coming up with anything to say in my defense, instantly invented a dozen horribly unfunny things to follow up with that would make her say more things like "HOLY SHITTTTTTT ARE YOU SEEING THIS??? THIS IS SO OBVSCUM HAHAHAHA OMG" and as you can see i was unable to keep myself from letting a couple of those fly. frankly i think that out of all of you meuh is by far the most deserving of voting me. meuh has put in THE WORK. since for the sake of the game, i am obligated to work earnestly and doggedly for my continued survival, perhaps one of you other three may find it in your heart to unvote for the time being. so that she can at least get to do that. thank you and sorry for the long and ultimately very bad post.

[hellbooks]

i wants t' preface this by sayin' that 'tis goin' t' be the worst post ever made by someone gettin' wagoned. if thar was a scummy fer worst post o' the year this might win it. i fear 'tis goin' t' be gettin' into new horizons o' ATE or WIFOM or howe'er 'twould be categorized. they might even 'ave t' come up wit' an entirely new acronym fer it, perhaps we could call it HGFP (hot lass fail postin'). i am mighty sorry fer this 'n know that i mighty do only wants the best fer this game, 'n fer the truth t' prevail. 'n aft some thought this mighty did seem like the best that i could come up wit'. 'n so please understand that this post had t' be made, 'cause at me core, i am only a Poster -- who be mighty jus' doin' her best t' assume, fer the duration o' this game, the role o' a Mafia Player. 'n such be this poster's burden that i feel: that universal 'n undeniable compulsion t' Speak our Truths. 'tis surely a source o' great strife. fer in every horrendous take be a scallywag who believes in it; be blinded by it; finds themselves a mere avatar o' its message.

[hellbooks]

wouldn't that be an innocent town me getting fooled? why is that scummy?

just didnt rly like that you werent worried about any of them ig
maybe you are though just secretly

datisi is the kind of person to put a third party in a micro, and also the kind of person to violate normal rules because he feels like it. just saying

please i promise to townside

[hellbooks]

i genuinely don't know how to read hellbooks. her entire iso is basically just shitposts. even though theyre quality, like who does that? town? doubt it, town's trying to solve the game. scum? doubt it, scum's trying to stay alive. i don't know how this works??

[hellbooks]

I would like to formally offer a draw to the scumteam. If you would, please step forward and shake my hand.

[hellbooks]

and actually why are those the people posed to deepwolf? both fire and baltar have people who are suspecting them

well i did admit beforehand that i was committing another act of baltar wagon denialism. idk i cant rly explain it. its not like im basing a vote on you off of it or anything i just was pointing out that you were townreading people i would be afraid of townreading. everyone's getting suspected to some degree -- it seemed like fire & baltar had a more comprehensive body of work in this game that suggests they might end up sticking around for a long time by virtue of being in a very involved position, as opposed to people like me, you, the sukas. and skygazers coasting

[hellbooks]

at ausukas original post copypastaing my big manifesto i laughed probably the hardest i ever laughed in a mafia game and i just keep going back to look at that post 740 and laughing again something about the timing was just divine

[hellbooks]

the thing is i dont think ive actually done a significantly worse job at trying to solve the game than your average person here

[hellbooks]

PLEASE JUST ENGAGE WITH BALTAR!!!!!!!!!!!

ok but i ask the jury: is this not a towny amount of exclamation marks

[hellbooks]

i posit to the jury: do these eleven exclamation marks not gestalt a town alignment

[hellbooks]

extremely incendiary reads list probably change by tomorrow

{osuka, ausuka}
{meuh}
{skitter}
{fire}
{tris, skygazer}

[hellbooks]

I put him in and then had the idea to take him out and gave in to my sinful impulses

[hellbooks]

maybe im giving osuka and ausuka too much credit for not seizing upon a frictionless miselim opportunity but i think they just seemed to have a total lack of agenda in the last few pages

[hellbooks]

i said it would change today, but in fact the more i look at my reads list the more im enchanted by it

[hellbooks]

im just a little guy. im just a little guy and also its my birthday. im just a little birthday boy.

[hellbooks]

is it not towny how the sukas instead of going like "oh ok lets just lim brooks" (and just for a moment please entertain the fantasy that i am town and it would be a mislim) instead chose to stew in confusion

[hellbooks]

Am i doing the thing where i just townread all the people who arent voting me ok maybe thats a problem yes hm...

[hellbooks]

skitz i think youre misinterpreting my posts somehow?

[hellbooks]

everyone is asking me to do Task feelin like adam sandler from uncle gems

But yes ill do my best to do that as a fsvor to all of you

[hellbooks]

Not to throw another bad vibes take into the chat but Im thinking that we could just go ahead and lim baltar

[hellbooks]

yall have no effing idea how many HGFPs ive typed out and deleted

[hellbooks]

OK FUCK SORRY I HAVE TO SAY THIS BUT THE THING IS I THINK LIMMING ME WOULDNT BE LIKE THE ABSOLUTE WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR TOWN LIKE WE COULD DO A LOT WORSE BC LIKE EVEN IF YOU DIDNT LIM ME I WOULD JUST KEEP EXISTING AS A PROBLEM RIGHT AND IDK I THINK YOUD GET A LOT OF JUICY ASSOCS FROM WITHIN MY CORPSE

[hellbooks]

Like im not giving up right
Like im still trying to solve the game in my own way and theres still time for me to like get more than half sure that someone is scum even though this rly never happens for me
Im JUST SAYING like if i flip town dont you then go to day 2 thinking wow ok there are a lot of Directions we can go from here as opposed to this 8 way chainsawfest

[hellbooks]

Hot Girl Success Wall

[hellbooks]

@hellbooks can you pick three (3) of your spiciest reads and elaborate a little more?
Not super in depth like a couple of sentences each?

so i already kind of explained why i put osuka and ausuka up there (flawed as my trust may be). i also mentioned that i was genuinely convinced by the excitement and conviction that meuh had

skygazer i think has been posting shallowly and taking paths of least resistance and not really feeling concerned or paranoid or second guessing but then theres also like a vibe i get that shes coasting on tone which makes me think theres a vested interest in maintaining a good position

tris im actually thinking about putting back at null or even town but at the time it felt like she was very passively sitting with her confusion, saying she didnt want to read or wasnt motivated to do anything, and then was suddenly spurred into action by the prospect of a wagon. but now that i put that impression together i think its kind of towny

i dont think fire has done anything that made me think "oh that was so towny" and i think that theyve been very careful while also kind of trying to maintain control over the direction of the game and i think the sort of consistent action of trying to understand everything and little details seems like it could be like scum whos just doing busy work

maybe id update my reads to be

[empty]
ausuka, osuka, meuh
tris (lol SORRY AUSUKA ABOUT YOUR ANTIVOTE)
skitter
fire
skygazer
[empty]

i think i sort of committed to the bit so hard that i dont actually know where to place baltar in this list anymore but i originally had him in the fire tier and maybe id want to put him below even. and i have legit no idea about skitter tbh. as i mentioned before there is no one here that i am even fifty per cent sure is scum.

[hellbooks]

EMBRACE: death

[hellbooks]

i dont think baltar has been abrasive at all so idk about the easy target personaltiy thing but maybe i just like him

[hellbooks]

i dont think skitter is towny just for trying to solve the game i dont think people are towny just for trying to solve the game

[hellbooks]

after 8 years on this app i still have functionally no understanding of what actually makes people scum

[hellbooks]

Final answer reads adjusted for inflation just me changing my mind on some stuff

ausuka, meuh
tris
skygazer
osuka
baltar
skitter, fire

Did i get every one this time

[hellbooks]

I dont actually feel defeatist or woe is me or anything like that im just saying that i dont mind it i dont think its like a bad move and i knew saying something like that was objectively scummy but it was a thought that kept dominating my mind so i decided to say it after typing it out and deleting it three or four times

[hellbooks]

The answer to any outstanding or future question thats like "why did your read on X change so much" is just that it did and i decided that what i was thinking before was wrong

[hellbooks]

what is scummy about having disjointed reads progression?

[hellbooks]

But like do you think im incapable of crafting believably and prettily trajectorious reads as scum

[hellbooks]

Ill explain my reads list more later but theyre mostly just me looking back at some posts Nd being like "sctually scum/town could have done this" or getting good vibes from one post or another

tbh i forget that town play isnt just raw honesty its like an alternate form of politicking

[hellbooks]

that was a question posed (unclearly, sorry) to skitter and im sure her answer is gonna be something like "well you're clearly scum whose utilizing a 750 iq strategy where you purposely and knowingly act too-scummy-to-be-scum"

[hellbooks]

tragically out of all of the silly little bon mots ive intentionally said in this game, this completely unintentional one might be the funniest

[hellbooks]

so this is what they mean by making yourself indespensible at the workplace

[hellbooks]

THE LEGENDARY FIREBALTAR TEAM JUST WHEN WE NEEDED THEM MOST THEY RETURNED

[hellbooks]

Literally HOW is it coasting when everybody hates me

[hellbooks]

i find her readlist changing to be close to NAI

RIGHT?????? idk why skitter thought it was so scummy!!!!!

[hellbooks]

as promise heres my hot girl success wall, provided FREE of charge to all of you, NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTION FEE, and NO BULLSHIT. feel free to read only the sections you want its no skin off my back. they should have a special achievement award for someone if they make both the worst and best post in a game cuz this ones gonna be a banger

returning to the crime scene of my mind and attempting to reconstruct the events that led to me flip flopping on several of my reads

skyg - i went back to ctrl+f her iso for what she had said about another person (i think vp balts) and saw a few towny things. one thing that stuck out to me was skygazer feeling a baseline reluctance to vote me bc we're friends and then overcoming that bc of an excess of scumminess from yours truly. i think that shows somewhat of a pure attitude towards limming as less of a self-serving, strategic activity and more of like a societal obligation aka more of a towny mindset psychologically speaking. maybe i overcorrected a little bit in the town direction and shes more of a conflicted read

osuka - if i was scum and in a secure position amidst this chaos i would absolutely consider vanishing here or at least feel that strong temptation. actually surprised that no one rly called it out but maybe he said he's vla and i missed it or something. in contrast to ausuka who i think has continued to townpost. and also became less convinced that some of the reactions that i originally thought were towny were not easily fakeable

skitter - i think theres a careful slowrolly type of way she's trying to slowly gain ground on voting me. its like 1) votes me. 2) "oh tbh im kinda coming around to flipping hellbooks here" like well YEA.... your voting me ! ! i actually prefer the optics of someone like meuh whos just kind of voting my ass & also looking elsewhere and working on other ideas. something methodical about it how everything i do she takes it into her atelier and constructs a beautiful reason for her to dislike it. but maybe thats just how she is when she drives through a tunnel. i dont rly know how to reliably make that distinction. what actually made me think of skitter as sus more than that, is that i concluded that unlike most other people in this game there's really no post that ive seen where i thought "if she was scum, making this post would be counterproductive for her"

why i made that horrible all caps post aka the second worst post of all time

basically i had a horrible vision of getting limmed in elo against someone with a more comprehensive and rational presence. like i thought there was literally no way i would make it out of an elo situation. and i thought getting limmed on D1 and letting people maybe build some momentum off of the varied approaches / sheeps / angles that people had on my wagon would be a very low-risk sacrifice with some legit upside. as i said, it wasnt angst or anything. im actually having a ton of fun in this game making my little posts. but i also dont mind going out like a G on D1 i dont have any pride about things like that. also as i said i didnt really have a confident alternative ready to propose to be like "well dont vote me vote THIS person!" prior to the most recent pages of fairly contentful and solvatious activity there seemed to be a whole bunch of posts from people that were like "i have no effing idea what to do about this game" and that was the game state i was still working off of when doing this rumination

live slug reaction to the baltar wall

skitz - i dont have a problem with someone townreading skitz and dont consider my thoughts on her to be compelling enough to dissuade someone from doing so, but i read vp baltars reasons and think... this is all stuff scum does all the time? imo? and i think the thing that i have a problem with is maybe the lack of what i consider to be a prerequisite amount of paranoia

tris - agree that i dont have a problem with the sheeping but i did think it was a little interesting that blatant opportunism is excusable if tris but not skygazer. I KNOW, there are other factors but i was just like.... oh just bc skygazer is voting YOU? dont worry i still think thats valid ; )

fire - the fact that you say that fires superpower is being a very thorough thinker & you dont see that here... but why is that something fire wouldnt be able to reproduce as scum? do you think fire as scum has a history of failing to think thru posts? i guess thats the one thing about your case that stood out to me. i think the osuka placeholder push also doesnt really fit in with the grand narrative of meuhltar fencesitting that youre crafting and i dont actually see why your portrait of fire as a scum would do that

tragically i think this post did more harm than good for my view of you albeit by a slight margin -- i cant help but compare it to something like the grand meuh post (which again might just be a false case that happened to hit all the right beats for me, and im literally sorry for bringing it up bc i know you said you didnt like it) and find the general ideas to be somewhat belabored by comparison

finally on to the fun stuff... !

note to all skimmers below this point is where the post ACTUALLY starts getting good!

avi tier list. whoever said all the avis were great was right

osuka - i get the sinking feeling that im supposed to know what this is. is it like a... like a electric roggenrola or something? if i actually got my shit together and made your gtkas there would be a question where you could answer about this. but i like it. A

baltar - avatars that are just some dude i think have actually come around to becoming underrated in this day and age. this was a factor in why im currently rockin the sandler. A+

tris - one important thing when it comes to avatars is that they dont exist in a vacuum but exist symbiotically with the connotations of the poster. if i saw this avi for the first time i would be like i have no idea who this is. but when i see this avi now im like this is absolutely tris. S

skygazer - i like the placid discomfort of the stars' expressions and of course any avatar that synergizes with a username should be acknowledged. A+

meuh - this seems to be an art of some kind of knight or other armored professional. i like her calm but resolute expression. i get the sense that maybe people would find this avatar trustworthy when it came to first impressions in a mafia game. i would hope that mine achieves the opposite. A

ausuka - no notes. this avatar cant be reduced to its qualities, it simply is. S+

fireisredsir - much like their discord avi (which is one of my favorites) this persons gaze holds a tired tenderness. while they seem to be drinking it also seems to remind me fondly of a pose that i often make in general with my fist, just to cover the bottom half of my face (when chewing for example). i have to admit to a flawed bias which is that i dont prefer it when the avatars are too far off of a square resolution. S-

skitter - im a big fan of tigers. i was born in the year of the tiger. an old avi of mine has a similar abstractish style of an animal and i feel some solidarity off of that as well. A

met gala review

was bad bunnys suit the BEST LOOKING ensemble of the event, no, but it sure did live in my head with the least rent. jenna ortega -- i wish my self of 5 yrs ago going as wednesday addams to a gothtober party couldve done it like you. dwyane wade's coat was an ABSOLUTE SLAY. mary j blige, something abt the swoop and the high slit... like yes. give me the composition, and you know what the sheer and blue rose pattern is extra but it works for me. stephanie hsu's collar worked outlandishly perfectly. but in the end... none did it quite like ausuka. i award her Winner of the Night

hockey preds. fun fact datisi promised that if i get all these right i'll get a 1-shot day vig called "the onetimer"

1. i dont particularly like the panthers and i think if i predicted against the leafs id feel double shame if they ended up winning, so i'll say

leafs in 6

even though they're already down a game. cause if it goes to 7 then florida might be able to harness that grimy stinkboy protagonist energy again

2. im rooting for the devils but for some reason i dont have as much shame choosing against them. maybe bc i dont rly have much investment in this series. i could not name a single cane aside from sebastian aho and then im really just thinking about the isles sebastian aho. but lets just say

canes in 6

3. the rational selection is the stars especially since they're up 1 and pavelski's back with a vengence but fuck it im on the bandwagon. the kraken are like that miracle that happens 0-1 times in a persons school life where people from all different friend groups get paired up for a group project but you lowkey end up clicking for real. i have literally never heard of any of these guys except for beniers but the

kraken in 7

bc i dont want this ride to be over yet. 7 in OT even. calling my shot. and you know what that guy bjorkstrand gets the OT winner lets go.

4. it would be funny if leon the professional continued to come up with seven hundred goals a game, truly exhausting everybody, and the oilies still couldnt follow through with it. which is exactly what happened today. im rooting for them to win bc im lowkey a darnell nurse stan even though everyone hates him, and also for my boy nugentious hopkinson, but i need to balance out the kraken prediction by selecting evil so i'll say

knights in 5

for the spicy oilies collapse mwahahaha

favorite datisi vc

the wheat to bread "is it worth it" in 1.07 is definitely a winner.
i like the "this dog sucks" energy of 1.09.
maybe it's recency bias, but the 1.18 might be my favorite. +1 for spiderman 2. +1 for men kissing. +1 for factual information about movie trivia. its got everything

[hellbooks]

meuh can you use your genius pre association evalutation brain to calculate the probability of a osukaskitter team

[hellbooks]

WHAT AM I TALKINGABOUT the stars arent up the kraken are up ugh literally lim me for that

[hellbooks]

i see it as a little scummy how osuka working up to siding with baltar while trying to maintain some uncertainty about that post might be in his scum range (to me it seems somewhat clear that such a post is in pretty much any ones scumrange)

[hellbooks]

GRRRR i forgot how time consuming a mafia is
I had tasks to do

[hellbooks]

bruh who the hell is this (Gap) guy and can meuh pls make up her mind on them :\ kinda sus not gonna lie

[hellbooks]

Ill self vote to avoid a no elim, thats not against wincon right

Also finding my self thinking skitters deadline scramble is town

[hellbooks]

Ok but seriously do you think self voting to avoid a no elim would be against your wincon?

I DONT KNOW IVE NEVER DONE SOMETHING LIKE THAT BEFORE

[hellbooks]

I don't know if I believe you that your view would change if I or hellbrooks flipped town though and that's my issue. I suspect you'd just try to power the other one through the next day.

are you actually so confident that im town that you have a huge problem with meuh continuing to scumread me if you get limmed D1

[hellbooks]

oh is that something alright

[hellbooks]

but i thought you wouldnt be happy about an osuka flip

[hellbooks]

i think ausuka is town but to your answer your Q from a general point of view, if scum thinks theyre in a secure position then theres no reason not to slowroll for optics right?

[hellbooks]

ok just from like a freaking stone cold practical point of view lets just get this shit going. please can everyone clairfy who theyre fine with voting im kind of going off what impressions im getting. i know this is probably not an ideal organization system but datisi probably wont let me institute a Ranked Choice Google Form Link so idfk. here's this logic-puzzle-style tableau of bloodthirstiness.

voter	helly	osuka	baltar	fire
ausuka	no	YES	YES?	no
skitz	YES	no	no	??
skyg	sure?	YES	no	no
balts	no	no	no	YES
osuka	??	no	no?	yes?
tris	no?	YES	no?	no?
fire	??	??	YES	no
helly	YES	YES	YES	YES
meuh	YES	SURE	YES	no?

IF YOU WANT TO LIM ME: i assume osuka will get on board to save his own skin, and maybe fire, and then i'll hammer
IF YOU WANT TO LIM OSUKA: seeing as it went to L-1 the steps for this seem doable.
IF YOU WANT TO LIM BALTAR: then i guess convince one of the people townreading baltar
IF YOU WANT TO LIM FIRE: tbh seems pretty tricky but if you can herd the cats then fuck it ill pull my weight
IF YOU WANT TO LIM YOUR SILLY LITTLE VANITY WAGON: then YOU FREAKING FIGURE IT OUT go door to door or some shit!!!

[hellbooks]

GREAT I PAGEBOTTOMED

[hellbooks]

whoever gets post 1273 can you please dedicate it in datisi's honor

[hellbooks]

IF YOU WANT TO LIM MY LOVER: then you gotta scum case my friends

[hellbooks]

if i die can i booby trap some post numbers as a ghost like whoever makes post #2169 has to eat a spoonful of mustard

[hellbooks]

you have nothing to apologize for but meuh please dont stop scumreading this guy D2

[hellbooks]

DOWN THE ROCKEFELLER STREET

[hellbooks]

thank you.... . it means the world to me.... thank you

[hellbooks]

people suggested wagons on ppl like tris and ausuka and id put myself down as more of a no for those

[hellbooks]

bc of my reads which can be found in my list

[hellbooks]

Did i die? Ok. I was town. Sorry if i fucked this game up! I would understand if any of you were like "dont play in my games anymore ever!" not that theres a huge risk of that since i'm not really a mafia player. But i had a ton of fun and i rly liked everyone in this game. The vibes were great! Go team!!!

[hellbooks]

LAST IMPORTANT THING TOWN KEEP IN MIND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Spoiler:

dont get post #2169 i booby trapped it and you WILL have to eat a spoonful of mustard or you explode

[hellbooks]

Since im dead theres nothinf datisi can do to me anymore so heres the real promised 10 page gdoc chainsawing balts mwahahaha

[hellbooks]

I guess you'll have to wakt and see B)

[hellbooks]

gonna haunt skygazer every night for eighteen years at the window for hammering me like cathy from wuthering heights

yooooo
A wuthering heights mafia would kinda rip

[hellbooks]

yea like honestly, honestly, if i was REALLY town dont you think that id say "damn ya got me i was scum!" to troll your asses one last time

[hellbooks]

YAYYYYYYY GG!!!!!!
so like ......... what was everyones role :>

[hellbooks]

Okay I might be onto something here. If you convert every letter in Meuh's name into a number this is what you get:

m = 13
e = 5
u = 21
h = 8

Every letter is part of the fibonnaci sequence. Does this mean something about Meuh doesn't "add up?"

Not only that, but if you take out the oddball letter (the h is silent) all of the letters are odd. Clearly this points to Meuh's odd behavior this game. And if you take the first and last letter out, you get "EU." I think this points towards Meuh being European which is a huge red flag.

Something to look into come tomorrow.

[hellbooks]

yoooo fr though i cant wait to look into all of these things come tomorrow. im so excited, lets have a good night and wake up fresh in the morning kids. i can just imagine getting to wake up on day 2 and seeing all of your smiling faces and giving all of you a big hug so that we can all be ready to face the day together. its gonna be great.

[hellbooks]

theres gonna be horses, right?

[hellbooks]

GRRRR RRRRUFFF BARK BARK GROWLLL AWOOOOO

[hellbooks]

Note that meuh and ausuka said "young meuh" and "young ausuka" when doing the vp baltar copypasta they are OPENZOOMERING

[hellbooks]

Maybe next time theyll listen to me about the mixer
Ggz!!!

[hellbooks]

Didnt check the result yet but it was firebaltar right? : )

[hellbooks]

Cant believe yall didnt even make it to post 2169 (the mustard booby trap)

[hellbooks]

[hellbooks]

Theres no way Datisi will lock the thread
