Micro 1089: the coalition, again [game over]

[fireisredsir]

i guess maybe that looks like me saying like "no don't look at the part where he said i was a skitter partner" but im talking fmpov here

also idk i don't really believe that was a serious read that would stick around, he townread me pretty firmly prior to that

[Infinity 324]

i think its kind of a universal reason that could apply to anyone

arguably actually i probably took the most advantage of the vacant snake-yeeting space by being the one to step up and be like "okay we're limming sheep"

deeply resisting the urge to self meta explain why i wouldn't want to do that but yeah idk im town. i guess maybe it does actually tilt slightly towards hellbooks scum over your slot because with everyone a little apathetic we're maybe more likely to default to the somewhat lurky afk slot in brass

well I know you wouldn't want to do that but you were at e-2

[Infinity 324]

I don't necessarily think shea was nk'ed for his reads but I want to deadsheep him so that I don't have to take responsibility

meant wouldn't want to put myself in that situation

nobody believed me when i said id kill ari over shea but imo i would

[fireisredsir]

i would definitely bet that the dead thread consensus is that it's me so i mean yeah if you want to deadsheep then the answer is pretty easy

they're wrong tho

[Infinity 324]

mmhm

[fireisredsir]

here's what i think everyone in the dead thread is saying:

ari - this is an exciting elo i don't know who it is! i still think it's fire though

sheep - man i cannot believe i let scum fire lim me like that. im not falling for those tricks again next time

shea - you know what actually i think it isn't fire. its hellbooks. she's still lurking

isis - whoaoaoa im dead. nobody reminded me to play my goodra deck. fire is probably scum but i am glad i got nightkilled because i don't know

tris - i think it's maybe infinity but everyone seems really towny here

skitter - (:

datisi - hehehe

[Infinity 324]

pretty accurate lol I do think shea would be more undecided though

[fireisredsir]

i think normally shea would be more undecided but he'd become more stubbornly confident due to everyone else disagreeing with him

[Infinity 324]

ahaha right

[Infinity 324]

I'm gonna spend a day or so away from this game (if I can) and if I come back and feel the same way I'll probably be ready to vote

[hellbooks]

ari - ok so i have an inno on sheep and sheep you have a guilty on shea so that must mean that shea's scum right

sheep - well i got a guilty on skitter too so i guess im the one that always gets guilties idk im busy reading main thread

shea - can you guys be quiet im trying to watch the game ! ! ! ugh max scherzer you freakin piece of crap

isis - whoaoaoa im dead. nobody reminded me to play my goodra deck. im glad it took me this long to get nightkilled so i could avoid being in this dethy game

tris - i have an inno on skitter and ari but im confident that we can solve this through day play

skitter - oh brother... how did i get roped into this...

datisi - can you guys be quiet im trying to play my game ! ! ! ugh this freaking dung beetle piece of crap

[fireisredsir]

im gonna spend a day or so trying to solve this game (if i can) and if i come to a conclusion ill probably be ready to vote

[fireisredsir]

dethy sounds confusing

[fireisredsir]

to be honest the only dethy thing ive seen prior to this game is animal sounds dethy and i am realizing that is a variant and not the standard

[fireisredsir]

i tried like writing out a post about the potential narrative of infinity slot being scum and hellbooks being scum and halfway through i felt like it wasn't useful and gave up

maybe ill revisit it tomorrow

[fireisredsir]

i once again am feeling like my reasons for things aren't good

[fireisredsir]

my biggest conflict rn is that i feel like i have more solid reasons for infinity slot being scum than i do for hellbooks being scum

but i also feel like i have more solid reasons for infinity slot being town than i do for hellbooks being town

hellbooks is just kind of in the middle as a shrug yea i could see it either way

[fireisredsir]

every time i go back and read a hellbooks towngame it makes me want to vote hellbooks

[Infinity 324]

fire are you demoralized?

[Infinity 324]

also i'm wondering what part of the game mostly you're looking at to make your decision

[fireisredsir]

fire are you demoralized?

always

[Infinity 324]

:(

[fireisredsir]

actually idk not that much. i just am not that confident that anything i think will be useful or correct. but thats like normal right

i would say that i am maybe having more trouble keeping my thoughts organized and not scattered than usual but i don't think im demoralized. even if we lose its ok i think whichever of you is scum played really well

[fireisredsir]

also i'm wondering what part of the game mostly you're looking at to make your decision

i have probably spent the most time looking at the early part and the ending part of coalition forming phase

i think that for both of your slots, once coalition was formed, skitter probably mostly leaned in to leaving false trails and did so successfully. so like that portion of the game isn't super useful to read imo

the other thing im mostly looking at is just like reading over bits of each of your isos and comparing it to meta and seeing if it's better to just like read the slots individually because often times thinking too much about like overall scum strategy can trip me up when it comes to elo
