Not Quite Normal Multiball (Game Over)

[Uncle Shelby]

Well if we're getting a scoreboard, I guess I should start trying for these.

[Uncle Shelby]

I had expectations on pooky which I have already explained in multiple lengthy posts so if you have an issue with the posts, you can state them now.

I'll take a look when I'm home.

no need for the eye roll page tops are respectable

[Celestial Powerhouse]

My pool of slots I am wary of are: Morph, Unwnd, Titus, Ydra, Dann

Im really concerned with the fact that Lukewarm's scum pool is all power players actually.

I think this means that lukewarm is either getting paranoid as town
or he is scum who is afraid of the influence they might have.

I see the latter more likely because he's a good player and I respect his game.

Do you town read all of those slots? Or do you just feel like dropping shade on me for my reads?

If you are town reading them, which ones?

-------

Also, do I know you? I actually have a guess, and if it is right, then you are someone who wants to scum read me in every game <3

Assuming mister ocean is who I think they are, then they have declared my town play scummy in multiple games (both as town and as scum and as a spectator).

Probably best for me to just stop engaging there tbh.

Anyone else want to talk to me?

I was going more for something like this:

[Celestial Powerhouse]

you left me to the cats and dogs last i remember

They were a cat, you were a dog of some description. In fairness didn't the dogs just hand you over as well?

Need to train them better.


I've been training Cerbie to do this since he was a pup.

don't you dare i was no such thing i was an innocent town chameleon

Cerberus is cute do you wanna trade him for my goldfish

Cats like to chase small things, I had Bastet of all gods come pouncing through the other day, chasing Pegasus.

You can imagine how that went, Cerberus - three headed guardian of the Underworld against Bastet, Cat goddess.

Cerbie still watches that doorway with great fear. I'll decline your trade, I don't think Charon would approve of a Goldfish being the guardian...

I would say that the first time I was not very sure, but was trying to figure out if your angle on me was really just as non-genuine as it seemed or if you were just one very specific person.

The second time, I reached the conclusion that you are probably that one very specific person and I should just drop the dialogue.

dw hades charon on an i are on very good terms i actually built his boat for him so he'd definitely be fine with the trade

[Celestial Powerhouse]

Luke perhaps you'd rather talk to me over my salty brother?
Interestingly despite being the one with the firey head, I'm not the hot headed brother.

you realise Charon is a single minded entity, right?

[Anya]

yeah i was once deceased and ferried over by him we had a great time

He wants to see your manager.

Zeus normally does... 99% of problems in Ancient Greece are from that.

What's soured your wine, friend?

another thing is that I'm not a fan of one other person. this was something I was thinking for quite a while but I just forgot what their name was. I'll be back but need to put this here so I dont procrastinate and end up forgetting completely.

-Mister Ocean

when have you ever seen newbie scum play that way, though? that is like almost the exact opposite of how i'd expect a new scum player to play in a large game

[petapan]

I find it odd you don't have a vote down

*Pushes over several potential names from the Guess Who board*

Clearly haven't played with Lady Spay much, anyways!

i don't think she's an alt

[petapan]

i had already been reading ocean's posts as townish but i think them outing as flea moves celestial from joke townread to "yeah, actually almost always just town here"

[Celestial Powerhouse]

I am not flea .....
That was a joke

[morph the cat]

I mean I was (amazon)primed to murder a miller claim this game anyway due to the obvious parallels with masons and monks, but this is like the extra-shitty cherry on top.

Explain this to me so that I believe you mean it and as if I've never played masons and monks.

I've been hoping that Cabd would get a chance to answer this since you're asking about one of his posts.

But, I hate unanswered questions so I'll give you my take on it.

First, I don't generally advocate auto-elimming miller claims, and tend to view them as all-but-named townies unless the player has an egregious history of fakeclaiming, so that's not a thing that would have occurred to me so early in the game.

The kinds of parallels Cabd and I are worried about, and which the different sorts of "will investigate as guilty" suggest could be in play are this: in monks and masons although you can get info that will clear some players of being a particular alignment due to the type of neighborhood (monkery for town-mafia or masonry for town-werewolf) they belong to, nobody gets fully cleared mechanically (except I think there's a corner case in a revised version of the setup where a town player could wind randed into both the masonry and the monkery)*.

Here, the millers seem to fill a similar function, though less thoroughly, and I'm certain Ceph took into account the likelihood that miller-ish roles would claim in their first few posts. They claim. whatever role can investigate those claims decides whether to burn a night action on them, etc.

Anyway, I doubt this gives any real window into why Cabd felt like such claims needed to be yeeted on page 5 or 6. It's probably to do with thinking that mafia or werewolf teams could have players that investigate as the opposite, and being concerned they get auto-townbinned for claiming their miller-like status or avoided by all alignment investigations rather than just the one they say they'll be guilty to.

You're letting someone get away with calling you a parasite?

I'm genuinely lost for words. Me, Hades. The Gay Best Friend of the Greek Gods, am lost for words.
