Wall Street Bets: Game Over!

[GameStop]

If I become rich, will my alignment change?

[GameStop]

Oh gods! My IRL portfolio went red today.

Did pooky create a stock market trading game on the week of a stock market crash?

[Misty Waters]

am I the only one YOLO'ing on GME?

I was thinking about doing the same thing. I even have the thread pulled up.

I feel like I need to say something to make sure we don't get to 8 votes so I'm saying something.
Don't get Gamma to 8 votes.

Also his reaction was pretty pure to Brutalism

[Misty Waters]

what really bothers me tho is that no one wants to play. I know I'm sitting back but thats what I do.

Why isn't Noraa + FL playing?
Where the fuck did Elon go?
MT + Hop tried to play earlier but haven't posted since
BM is gone (I suspect it has to do with family because thats partially why he started Pooky v FL late from memory)
Brutualism + Playing with Fire are also posting nothing which is weird.

Like idunno why no one is playing and why everyone is ghosting out of the thread :/

[Battle Mage]

I'd say mine is reasonably accurate - and an enjoyable read. some of the others range between cringingly flattering and downright harsh.

Good evening.

We have scoured all there is to scour, and wish to depart some MAJOR Due Diligence research upon the thread.

Here is the DD for everyone, except the dirty secret alts who can burn in hell along with us for posting these. We hope you enjoy the example of our hdyra living up to our namesake.

Misty Waters (Alisae + Pirate Mollie)

Alisae is a person who will play a game and everyone else can die in a fire for all it matters. That game may or may not actually be the same one everyone else is playing, or it may make the main game irrelevant. That said, Alisae will always play to wincon, just defined as whatever alisae thinks is best, and fuck conventional wisdom on the matter. This was evident most obviously in Smoke Filled Antechamber, but that was hardly an exception to the rule, as opposed to a standout example of the norm. Scum Alisae is not much different, I cite the dance game where there was an Alisae-Cabd pairing, with me being the town and ONLY town in the pair.

Pirate Mollie is an old hand at the site. In fact, she was in Cabd's first non-newbie onsite. In the past, she's been an emotionally driven player, as both alignments, but doesn't have quite the same pep in her step as scum. I expect a lot of old school gifs and jpgs.

Things to look out for:

-Alisae righteousness tends to be a towntell.
-Dwindling scum who is terrible at faking their own tendencies. If eir is trying to sell it, it probably means something bad.
-Molly will take scumreads as riffs on the person molly, not the player molly, in a very alignment indicative way~

Battle Mage

BM is a player that tends to post extremely conversational and laidback stylistically. He tends to get in grudges and pissing matches with players that are easily provoked. (Example being Gamma in Xenoblade II) BM as scum is surprisingly effective at his craft, don't be fooled by his conversational cheery mannerisms.

Things to look out for:

-Effort from BM is slightly scum indicative
-BM cares more about his appearance as of late, especially in regards to town. Something may have shifted in him, but it's telling nonetheless.

Sweet and Salty (Noraa and Boon)

No emotional maturity built up, so don't expect any. Think of her as a less developed Sakura Hana any% speedrun. She will almost certainly not have the attention span for our wallposts. At most, she'll skim for parts relevant to her own position/self and anything boon directs her towards.

Boon is a player who adapts his play for both the account he chooses to use and his mood. Let's hope this is more like his flavor leaf account than his april ludgate account. He very well may intentionally try to blow up our credibility as either alignment so that he can feel in control of the game as the driving voice. Dude has daddy issues.

Should be named Salty and Salty instead. Noraa head is very sensitive to how people perceive her reads, even so much as townreading someone just for the notion of agreeing with them. She has a lot of emotional unkemptness that gets in the way of deliberation. Her social game is very wild. She is the core example of a new age of players who have instinctual gut reads but no restraint. Thrives off back and forth confrontation. When Noraa captures something, she stays there or she gets bored and forgets she had a read. Very provoked and very motivated by how well she is doing, espcially as town. Boon is his own audience at all times. Anything that didn't make sense was just part of the plan.

Things to look out for:

-Boon is not infallible. Far from it. As town he is more indignant towards the opposition. As scum, he uses it as a cover to further an agenda.
- Noraa is only as strong as the people around her. She plays only at feel-good and if she doesn't feel-good then expect uncooperation. As scum, her only energy source is herself, so if it seems like she's being a bit too fluffy then it probably means scum.

Auro

Very charitable player in the way he talks to everyone. I think Auro feels close to the other A on this list only it seems Auro actually enjoys the strife and just uses it as fuel. Auro has their own way of thinking and the thread is mostly subject to it based on who is in his timezone. I think Auro feels less comfortable as scum so instead of relying on his sensibilities, he plays off common town principles more, with less room for social aptitude.

Things to look out for:
- Does he like talking to people more or less? Auro wants to connect with the thread in a meaningful way to get reads. As scum, he wants others to read him exclusively.

Firebringer

Ah, yes, woof woof the fire dog. Firebringer will be incredibly sporadic about posting, in bursts of attention and activity, then radio static when bored or done. His classical flaws are his willingness to go along with a single strong read as a stake in the ground, and have near cult-like devotion to that person and read, even when they are literally starting to gnaw on his arm.


Things to look out for:
-Town fire has diamonds in the rough. Look for posts that get to the WHY behind the what, and take him to the big town farm upstate to retire forever if you find any.

Mistyx

Limited experience with her but from what I observed she seems very deliberate in the way she wants to perceived, maybe to an obsessive fault. There's a bit of devil may care in their reads that comes down to the tonal exchanges between people. It'd require reading into their scumgames but these type of players basically rely on their quirks to be town-read or manipulate others.

Things to look out for:
- Not sure exactly. As town she didn't exactly stand out but perhaps that will be telling after all.

Gamma Emerald

Exasperates himself by signing up for 5 games and then putting in less of the effort and stretching himself paper thin. Can be prone to raw and erratic behavior (which is sometimes a towntell) However, will try to replicate that behavior extraneously. It always feel like Gamma's issue is carrying a heavy burden, one that he puts on himself. His presence is only lightly felt until you poke him enough to get a rise out of him. Seems to stay close to predetermined tells that are only touched upon, but also wants credit for the read when someone else does the rest for him.

Things to look out for:
- Fake anger is a scumtell.
- As town, his righteousness outweighs the outcome of the game, whether or not he had any part of it.
- If he is town and flips town, find the against the grain read he defended from being called scum and flip it like it's a cop guilty~

Gypyx

Oh boy, the Frenchman. I hope for his sake he's town. As scum, he tends to post very obvscum statements unless coached to not do the thing. Tenet was a dance of breaking our back carrying him across the trenches of "I claim scum" and "oh jeez don't claim scum" He has extreme potential to grow and spread his wings and learn how to scum. If he's at any point flipped red and wasn't super obvscum? Policy Nacho with extreme prejudice.

Things to look out for:
-Is aware of his scum meta since LLD and I coached the everloving SHIT out of him. The tells that used to exist on him that we chose to reveal to him are therefore null and void.

Vegemite on Toast (Super + Shady)

Experience only with Shady side who seems to have played under a different name (hercule), but I did view Super's TM game before ABR destroyed mine. Shady side seemed to hone their emotions to get them out of a tight spot while conducting a lot of busywork as scum. Super seemed to have emotional relapse through incessant prodding from Koba as town. Both seem purely self-motivated and seem to play a more inner game that is eventually just spilled onto thread, intentionally or not. Wonder what result will come of being in a hydra.

Things to look out for:
They're both extremely emotional (though I am tired of logging players like this), so it's probably best to see what comes of it. With two players like that they can probably keep it up under wraps, or use it further to manipulate.

TweetieTheMagicalRabbit (Morning Tweet + Hopkirk)

Another limited experience player outside of one game where I scumread them so hard I said I'd end my career if they town. They were town. I'm here now. Peeks into their meta show the side of Morning Tweet has good logistics, but may be a bit unfettered between the walls they post. Hopkirk is actually the same for me where I scumread them based on unfamiliar territory. Not too much to write about either of them in this blurb.

Things to look out for:
I hope we get to dance like she's a town Lady again!

BBMolla

Seems to march to the beat of his own drum. Places his convictions right next to him when he's asleep with his firearm close to him as well. Time will tell what BBMolla will do, but if he's stirred by something, I expect it have some sort of ripple effect. Very glad he got over his weird social phase, and is back. He was in Cabd's first or second newbie onsite, where we killed nachoscum to pull out the win. Do we get to do it again? Time shall tell!

Things to look out for:
Another blind spot. Probably as scum I just expect him to dial up his convictions to incomprehensible levels to push lims.

Playing with Fire (LLD + Nacho)

More like s(h)ittingonhandswith Fire amirite?

Joined this game together because they both have terrible impulse control. LLD has nothing to prove, coming off a hot scumwin with me in tenet. Nacho ever so badly wants to prove he isn't shit at the game anymore despite tarring and feathering himself in Xenoblade and Tenet. A little shocked that LLD isn't here trying to take over the game. Same goes for several other players here though, so... shrug.jpg?

Things to look out for:
LLD just gets burden of proficiency'd here. Wheeeeeeee

[Brutalism]

While obviously we can't speak for the rest, we're intending to play this as infrequent large posts, instead of a bunch of noise posts.

Also, the markets are tanking so people who invested by NOT investing clearly won the lottery today....

can i short cabd bucks

You can only go up. Much like capitalism, the poor will be ejected and the rich will only get richer.

was that honestly alignment indicative?

For gamma? Absolutely it was.

That is actually... Genius

VOTE: Gypyx serious btw

Don't like this vote. What makes it serious or not serious?


Auro is general is off-putting. Trying to sell his appearance too hard already.

Idk which head posted that but I feel rather offended

Oh based on the last segment that’s Cabd
Hrrrrrm

Like straight up that entire segment on me looks like talking down my ability as a player

Gamma, it was both of us. Have you seriously not studied up on the subreddit that this game is about? The whole gimmick is deprecation of your fellow traders. We're intentionally playing meangirlz up. Also, see hydra name.

- Does he like talking to people more or less? Auro wants to connect with the thread in a meaningful way to get reads. As scum, he wants others to read him exclusively.

Brutalism is making a 200IQ play here.

You might read your part and think, "why is Brutalism revealing their scumtells on everybody?"

I'll tell you why. Maybe they're not really scumtells.

They're just waiting to see who plays opposite to that

This is not true but your answer is very entertaining to both of us. 2 Cabd Bucks.

Stiff tone compared to the rest shitposting

Gypyx as scum is more like a statue. You should be impressed you're getting any movement at all. Cement hell can back me up here, he carried this boy to the finish line in TENET.

Cement here, dude is like two concrete shoes with no motivation unless properly coached into warm fuzzy scumspace.

Good evening.

We have scoured all there is to scour, and wish to depart some MAJOR Due Diligence research upon the thread.

Here is the DD for everyone, except the dirty secret alts who can burn in hell along with us for posting these. We hope you enjoy the example of our hdyra living up to our namesake.

<snip>

You are a MONUMENTAL jackass, but I still love you anyways.

I very heavily doubt that this game will be a serious game for either of us - poor impulse control = bad decisions.

How many lies must you already weave? You will definitely take this game seriously. It's already apparent by the way you've entered the thread.

i only read my part of the analysis wall

glgl

Yeah tbh we expected this would happen, but then you might miss Bell claiming scum as scum with his spoiler= tag for his partner.

but is there currently someone playing that hates themselves THAT much?

Dear Cabd and Nacho of the Fire hydra that should never be mistaken for Firebringer:

How long, exactly, am I supposed to pretend that you and Cabd are not scum with each other?

Hhhmm?

Until endgame, please.

Brutalism gave some good DD, but he didnt show his investments. Reporting to the SEC now....

Daddy JnJ better get my goddamn vaccine approval, or we're worse than VT this game, let's just say.

Oh gods! My IRL portfolio went red today.

Did pooky create a stock market trading game on the week of a stock market crash?

The only winning move is to not play. Ir, you know, losses aren't losses until observed, scramble your Fidelity/Schawb/ETC password and then delete the notepad file.

what really bothers me tho is that no one wants to play. I know I'm sitting back but thats what I do.

Why isn't Noraa + FL playing?
Where the fuck did Elon go?
MT + Hop tried to play earlier but haven't posted since
BM is gone (I suspect it has to do with family because thats partially why he started Pooky v FL late from memory)
Brutualism + Playing with Fire are also posting nothing which is weird.

Like idunno why no one is playing and why everyone is ghosting out of the thread :/

This pace is entirely doable. This is actually what games were like before people decided they couldn't practice restraint and needed constant dopamine intake. Do you think it's telling for anyone in particular?
