Micro 1044: A Normal Blitz V - Game Over

[Looker]

And the sooner you kill someone, the less they get to play, so I can see why someone would get hyperdefensive and take it personally.

Spoiler:

Cape90, I hope you know that my vote on you means I personally dislike you and want you to die. You are horrible.

[Little Green Wheels]

I don't want to be part of this.

[Umlaut]

Is that why you aren't voting?

This is not acceptable, even in jest.

Little Green Wheels has requested replacement.
Datisi replaces Little Green Wheels.

[Datisi]

i am currently doing Very Important Things (*cough* watching youtube and making bad art) but i will read the game and have thoughts on the game within the next... two hours tops

anyone wanna try to sell me on a vote in the meantime is free to do so

[Datisi]

wait, barely more than one day left, and y'all only got 6 pages in? this game needs CPR

[Cape90]

So uh, I don't exactly know what I did Looker, but I am sorry and can tone it down

[Cape90]

I kinda thought they just looked like mafia trying to look busy, but a little later, I am warming up to them, especially with their latest post in 65 and I kinda vibe a bit with the vanderscamp read

hmm

Alright so about your suspicion on me, let us start here, what are you not following here in terms of logic?

I will admit that maybe my read on 65 was a bit shallow, I don't think I really have seen mafia make a post about finding 1 more town for a winning POE. I feel like that would just close off options if the supposed winning POE is wrong. i guess in other words I tend to see mafia try to keep their options more open

[Datisi]

16 pings townie, don't ask why because i don't know.

26 pings scummy in a way i cannot describe without looking like a madman. like, the presence of the word "lowkey" in this post makes it seem like umlaut is trying to give off a certain ~vibe~ in his posts, like he's almost afraid of someone thinking he has a strong read early. because townies just dish out takes. and townies generally don't have to specify "this is a weak read as it's page 2" because it's widely accepted that reads on page 2 are weak reads. scum has to fake reads, and they don't have that innate feeling of read strength, so they have to fake it, and in that faking they forgot that reads being "lowkey" on page 2 is a given and therefore unnecessary.

now, if you asked me "how sure are you that this makes umlaut scum", the answer is only like idk 3.6% more likely than rand. it's very much not a strong read. anyway.

i think 22 + 31 are townie for bugs? like, i think scum!bugs wouldn't make these posts that can very easily be accused of "shutting down discussion" and they're more likely to come from a town!bugs mindset who just spews whatever it is they think of

It's a gut read. It's fine if you disagree. It will likely end up meaningless in the long term. But why should making a gut read you disagree with make me mafia?

Lean town on Cape. Also on Umlaut. Think Looker might be town for a silly reason. Think bugspray is scummy but that might just be my own pettiness speaking.

mmm. cape didn't post inbetween these two posts. and i'm finding it kinda eyebrow-raising that jacket is allegedly leaning town on cape while at the same time questioning him in such a way? especially considering in 37 he says he's still sorting him. what's the townlean for, then? also, what is the silly reason to think looker is town?

It's a gut read. It's fine if you disagree. It will likely end up meaningless in the long term. But why should making a gut read you disagree with make me mafia?

You're saying 15 was an actual read and not just page 1 shitposting?

VOTE: Jacket

E-1. I like this wagon.

uhh. i don't think "this intro feels the scummiest" is like, a very controversial gut read to have because you can definitely have impressions on just a few posts. and like, i'm pretty sure umlaut knows that. so the fact that he's making this vote after acting so taken-aback that jacket claimed he had a *gasp* gutread on page one is. yeah idk. smells a bit opportunistic.

I think you've read everything aimed in your direction as unduly serious in a way that suggests a scummy hypersensitivity.

okay, this is A Bit Better and makes me not want to murder umlaut immediately. for now.

[Cape90]

i am having a very difficult time following their thought process as town

like it feels very a to f

I usually try to not overthink things until later on in the game. I feel like doing so only hurts me later on in the solving of the game

[Cape90]

it felt to me like cape was like, moving towards townreading jacket in what felt like a kinda forced progression to me, as the whole coalition approach that cape specifically cited as +town for jacket seemed pretty hmmmmm to me

You realize how early in the game it was right? Opinions can just change on the dime like that, scum can have towny intros and vice versa

[Datisi]

VOTE: vanderscamp

Feels opportunist, catchup is really hollow.

this is what i was thinking of while i was reading vanders's posts so idk maybe jacket is town???

shiki is not giving me the same vibes she gave me last game so i am gonna say Provisionally Town but the jury is still out

my gut tells me shiki v dorsey is tvt

i dislike 87 and i like 89

Vanderscamp/bugspray/LGW. Leaves room for one more in the POE. TBD.

1/3 at best

why is umlaut town to you?

[Cape90]

I think skiki is definitely town. Proactive in interactions and also I think 88 is a pretty towny response to Dorsey that makes a good amount of sense and I think shiki is relatively easy to follow along with as they are kinda assuming a town leader position as of currently

[Datisi]

if i HAD to make some reads right now

townies are jacket, shiki, bugspray, dorsey, in no specific order
scummy vibes on umlaut and vanders
no strong opinion on cape or looker

VOTE: umlaut

ama

[Jacket]

Well that was awkward.

[Umlaut]

Hooray, Datisi is in the game!

VOTE: umlaut

Well, that's... disappointing.

[Umlaut]

Saying "Oh hey Umlaut is scummy," and then in the same post saying "okay I guess I don't want to murder him yet," and then just up and voting me anyway, is exactly the kind of madness that tells me Datisi is town though.

[Cape90]

mmm. cape didn't post inbetween these two posts. and i'm finding it kinda eyebrow-raising that jacket is allegedly leaning town on cape while at the same time questioning him in such a way? especially considering in 37 he says he's still sorting him. what's the townlean for, then?

Well, I would say just because Jacket questioned me early on doesn't mean they wouldn't have a townlean on me. Plus there is the fact that it is pretty early in the game, so you should definitely know that nothing is solidified, hence them still trying to sort me out.

Eh maybe me answering that wasn't helpful, but if Jacket is scum, he can copy .

I think disliking these 2 posts

i dislike 87 and i like 89

is a towny move since it seemed like you were leaning towards scumreading me.

oh wait

Datisi said they liked 89, which I agree with, but I don't really see how 26 and 87 are all that scummy besides they almost say the same thing which I do find noteworthy

I'll keep what I said for the credit i suppose.

[Datisi]

at some point i also had a thought how it seems weird that jacket is townreading people that seem like they want him dead and how it lowkey feels like trying to get on their good side, but like... he also feels like a scum player who's not likely to be using that strat? at least my gut Impression says so and those are obviously never wrong

also, umlaut, you can always try to change my mind about the game!~

[Cape90]

How have I just realized i never got off Jacket

VOTE: Vanderscamp

I prefer this

[Datisi]

is a towny move since it seemed like you were leaning towards scumreading me

i will say that me liking or disliking a post is only talking about what i think of the poster's alignment, not whether i agree with the post

[Jacket]

Vanderscamp/bugspray/LGW. Leaves room for one more in the POE. TBD.

1/3 at best

why is umlaut town to you?[/quote]
Feeling was that he'd have more of a reason for an arbitrary wagon vote as scum. E-1 vote on page 2 felt too bold. Uncharitable for sure but wasn't convinced it was malicious.

You that confident on bugspray?

[Jacket]

Botched snipping the quote. Sorry.
