Micro 392: The Assassin has regained control of the village!

[Quinoa]

Hi.

[Quinoa]

Mantis is going to execute someone.

This is brutal!

[Quinoa]

Being gobbled up for protein!

[Quinoa]

Don't eat me! Go get your dinner elsewhere!

I get serious later.

[Quinoa]

Hi Mantis!

[Quinoa]

Quin oa talk about quinoa?

[Quinoa]

Quinoa isn't a secret Recipe. Mantis knows me! Hi Mantis!

[Quinoa]

i still want that biscuit though

Quinoa is more nutritious than a biscuit that is just mainly carbs.

[Quinoa]

That is, assuming it's just white bread.

[Quinoa]

You all must pick the rocks whenever you pour me into a bowl. Blame the manufacturing companies that send this brand of me to Costco. Complaints are necessary for the bureaucrats to listen.

I will post seriously once Mantis has acknowledged me and how much protein I contain.

Who here hasn't eaten me before?

[Quinoa]

Quinoa- Since this is an alt guessing game, are you a *quin, quin*, or a *quin* alt? And why do you think that Mantis knows you so well? All you've said to him is Hi.

(1) None of the above
(2) Mantis is Oda Mae Brown reincarnate. She speaks to ghosts and understands my love of myself as a brain food (Quinoa).

[Quinoa]

Quinoa, stop being useless. What is the scummiest post so far? What is the towniest?

Acknowledge me and say that you know me first, before Mantis arrives. I am a famous protein food. My ego must balloon.

Everyone please do so.

"Quin oa all acknowledge that Quinoa is a most delectable food?"

Say yes, say yes.

[Quinoa]

You must all realize that Mantis is the king. I must beg for the Highness's attention. I beg. I plead. Mantis deserves everyone's attention.

I do everything. I am a brain food. I am Quinoa.

[Quinoa]

Quin we talk about Quinoa and not insult Quinoa?

Quin oa do that?

Yes we quin.

[Quinoa]

Quin oa discuss adding cranberries to me? And sweet potatoes.

Quin oa talk about Quinoa, good things please. Then the King will take notice.

I wanna be famous!

In other news, I'll post a serious post once RVS ends and/or Mantis shows up to acknowledge me.

[Quinoa]

VOTE: Nikanor

[Quinoa]

I'm more organic than sugar!

[Quinoa]

Mantis, quin I be your queen? Quin oa (can we) be king & queen?

Quin-eeeeen Quinoa.

I quin see it coming a mile away. Quin you?

Everyone, please give Mantis three reasons I am town and/or scum.

[Quinoa]

GrayFoxx, what inspired you to do such grand, extensive ISO's?

[Quinoa]

he people. I did it for the people.

Good answer.

[Quinoa]

I'm having oatmeal and eggs with chia seed and blueberries.

My seedling reads are in fetal state. We should have a lot of time before deadline. People use up the deadline frequently on micros.

[Quinoa]

I'm lurking but I'll contribute tomorrow. Currently digesting this game.

[Quinoa]

I'm burnt out, I mean cooked.

king becomes kingmaker in night phase??

[Quinoa]

Oatmeal with soymilk, cook with frozen blueberries from Costco. Sometimes mixed berries.

Then add chia. And have separate scrambled vegetarian eggs with them.

[Quinoa]

I'm Quinoa. I eat organic, and people eat me as I'm organic!

[Quinoa]

I dont think king becomes king maker. Could be wrong.

I don't either. It would be wonky. But I'm not positive.

[Quinoa]

I'm half asleep

Not trolling

Josh and gray seem town

Mantis seems town

The Tiershift does too

[Quinoa]

Vegetarian eggs? Anyways doesn't matter


Cafe free all th way

[Quinoa]

Meant brown cafe free

I'm trippin

Also qq is like the Chinese version of facebook in china

[Quinoa]

CAGE

[Quinoa]

(Scripten Nikanour) mebbe

Max is alright

[Quinoa]

Cage

U think I meant caffeine? Hahaha

Yea I c. I played kingmaker with Aronis at marathon weekend last year. That was fun even tho none of us understood the mechanics initially

[Quinoa]

I'm trippin

Also qq is like the Chinese version of facebook in china

qq = fb
ok..new nickname for you now

LOL

Yea different player selected by Same kingmaker to become king every day

Game ended in minutes

IS this a modified setup?

[Quinoa]

I wish I hadn't posted tonight in this game. I'll try tomorrow. Why is the deadline so short??

[Quinoa]

I haven't been posting coherently as I'd hoped to. I haven't caught up on sleep yet and so focusing and brainstorming in this game have been slow. My lurking is exacerbated with the evident 7 day deadline (still surprised it's this short).

I don't have the information processed to answer you all's questions about reads, and I don't understand why I posted bogus reads mobile earlier while half-awake in bed. If I were completely caught up and participating, I would say more. My goal is to catch up before the weekend on the computer. I'm keeping up with the game but for some reasons it's like writer's block so far, and it annoys the hell out of me.

Asking for my reads without anything too specific in mind gives me the lazies. Specific pointed questions would be really great.

[Quinoa]

Prod dodge.

[Quinoa]

Hi I am here. I am having hot cocoa.

Quinoa:

You've done the least in this thread. How about you come back and contribute?

You forgot about the player who hasn't posted a single post. I have done the second least.

[Quinoa]

I do know that I'm getting shot tomorrow (or today) in most likelihood. I can't depend on pressure votes here to supply the needed morning jolt!

I have all afternoon though, although that doesn't mean much

[Quinoa]

Quinoa, why did you sign up for this game? Were you meaning to play? Are you still meaning to play? If you have all afternoon, do some catchups to enable me to read your alignment.

i am but i have a tendency to start out extremely slow D1 and not wake up until the second game day, it's not intentional

i will look over this game today but no promises

[Quinoa]

Why would tomorrow be MYLO if it's 2 vs. 5 and this is Nightless (assuming today's shot plus Clusk modkill)?

[Quinoa]

Does it look like town-headbutting-town, scum leanings anywhere? Something? Because I'm currently confused as to why there's any confusion. I feel like I've been clear.

the exchanges are kind of 1 vs. 1 and reading them seems incessantly demotivating

[Quinoa]

there's a night where scum have a nightkill? i thought this was nightless

[Quinoa]

[Quinoa]

okay well if tomorrow's MYLO assuming you shoot town (and Clusk fliips town), then

shooting me is a safe and not-to-be ridiculed shot now. not tomorrow, but now.

This post doesn't sit well with me.

I've only played Kingmaker once, many months ago, and also the ruleset and Aronis's game description wasn't clear about how Kingmakers work. Anyways, I won't debate this further as the game's more important anyways.

[Quinoa]

if you think whomever is the kingmaker tomorrow will shoot me, that is. I'd put that at 97% probability

[Quinoa]

the start of this game was difficult i feel, it wasn't really easy to get reads. And if it was difficult for town, imagine how hard it would be for scum.

it would be easier for scum to get reads because they are aware

"setting up" lynches almost never work.

they often work

if i was scum i wouldn't be messing around killing scripten, yourself or nikanor would of been out the door.

circular reasoning is unreliable

That we think quinoa is town.

i dont buy that something changed suddenly overnight with aegor and a townread appeared out of nowhere wrt aegor. look at aegor's posts ->

Unlike my other Head, this Head thinks that Quinoa is hella scummy, not null. He has taken active lurking to new levels and has most recently engaged in AtE, expressing willingness to be lynched despite a total lack of contribution. The fact that he has essentially not apologized or attempted to turn his behavior around is scummy to this Head.

However, the Heads agree that we should not policy execute him today, with the stipulation that we should all feel bad about ourselves if he does turn out to be scum.

[Quinoa]

/obligatory post to satisfy game phase two-post requirement in the event of quick execution

Back Monday.

[Quinoa]

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha!
I am all-powerful!!!!!

shush you

Aegor just gave me my way. I'm not sure he completely agrees on my townread.

I am still not townreading Quinoa, TierShift was a bit too hasty.

predictable answers after he used "we."

Quinoa, explain your posts yesterday now, please.

no thanks, im not even going to look at my own posts from yesterday and wont budge about that

Should sabbath flip town and should we die overnight, both of which aren't extremely unlikely, mantis should get executed.

what is this tho, setting up mantis? lol

[Quinoa]

I had a theory you were setting me up for today's execution.

hi i have lots of theories about this game too but

none involve me getting set up

why do you think you were set up? it appears that scripten scumread you/SoS as a team for a while (quick iso skim), but that doesnt mean anything since he was wrong about SoS anyways.

um yeah

[Quinoa]

had a feelin aegor would take back what you said as either alignment, dont matter

i have no theories other than scum made the kill as misdirection or cos script was a threat, and each of this is equally likely yeah

yeah

considering time constraint i figure i dont really need to name scumreads or try to influence nikanor's reads

guys i thnik ive found out who quinaao is amirite qinoa?

Spoiler: :D

[Quinoa]

Was scripten a threat to anyone, you think?

if stubborn with his reads, then you. but SoS flip probably would make him re-evaluate anyways.

it wouldn't matter unless scripten was made king, all things considered. no getting lynched by votes

also - search this topic - nikanor is right bahaha

[Quinoa]

rick roll plz click

[Quinoa]

I honestly thought you were kanye. >>

U slippin

[Quinoa]

We're flippin town. So what do you think about that?

Probably looking at Maxous and Nazarene for pushing that lynch.

~ozzy

that that sucks sorry sos :/

i'm thinking maxous

why did you appear to believe Sabbath during twilight and apologize right after executing? we played in runecast where Josh scum-trolled after being hammered...

[Quinoa]

I am burned out. I apologize for suckage/suckitude.

I think Gray could be the final one. Why is he seen as town?

Not really seeing Mantis or Max. Nazarene not really. No idea about Nikanor.

[Quinoa]

I think we all know who the strong suspicion is on.

I forgot about this game yesterday.

[Quinoa]

hey guys wouldn't it just be hilarious if grayfoxxxxxxx was scum and he was modkilled today.

He has 21 hours to show up or he's a goner.

Gone gone gone.

[Quinoa]

Ugh.

Obligatory post. 1 vs. 3 right? That makes me confirmed, since if I were scum, then I could just execute, then perform a nightkill to end the game?

The good upside is I'm not feeling burnt out. The downside is I suck, and I was super lethargic for the majority of this game, and <insert lots of degrading stuff>. OK now that that's out of the way....

Ugh.

Aegor, why the heck would you king me?????? Ugh. But fine I will give this my 100000% attention. I was planning to put up a big huge fight today, regardless of how bad my burst of energy would look considering my first two days in this game.

Like, I checked at 9:30 PM (yay columbus day nothing to do but eat and be a lazy butt) and was hoping to see this thread open.
OKKKKKKKKKKKK

Now I have to interact with each and every single one of you. What has this world become? Yes, I know.............

Let me start the 10 minute, wait no 10 second play, that notscience likes which we posted in a past game of ours. YEAH it was completed like September or August.

everyone else is being uninteresting (EVEN

NOTSCIENCE

AND BERT).

Hey the ten-minute play is beginning...except it has become 10 seconds.

HERE WE GO

The Jilted Notscience.

(clears his throat)

GOD DAMN SHIT FUCK PISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

notscience shatters a glass of water

YEAH

YEAH

YEAH

OKAY

BRB Let me get a drink, while I bathe in this unwanted but wonderfully welcome attention.

THANKS!!!! <33333333333333

YEAH I LOVE OR HATE IDK

OK

[Quinoa]

Oops, how obtuse of me.

The hero isn't dead. So I could technically be scum in your eyes

[Quinoa]

So massclaim isn't even viable since I'm not confirmed and can't be trusted

:/

Okay well

Rocky balboa

[Quinoa]

I've reread the game and come to the conclusion that nikanor must be the remaining scum.

This is based on
- nightkill (I've been in 3 games where scum was lynched day 1, in all three the scumbuddy won in endgame. They were strong players, killing off the weaker players as to get town to doubt itself, which is what happened today with me and maxous)
- scumread on me that cannot be explained (self-explanatory)
- PoE

Please execute him tomorrow, whoever will be king.

If we die overnight mantis should not be executed.

Hmm.

Hmm......

But don't you worry, I will milk the whole shot clock (yes this is like a basketball game)

[Quinoa]

I'm caught up. Gray has been inactive since D1. His back and forth with Scripten felt so scripted. :/ and his opening post today is :/

I don't like how Nika didn't just shoot early to make it odds today. Instead he waited until last minute to shoot, after Gray had checked in. And the interactions with mantis were hella awkward. Mantis has been nervous this game.

Unless Nikanor claims hero (I'm not the hero btw) then I'm likely fulfilling Nazarene's dying wish, WIFOM be damned.

Reading me as a non-villager because I was asking to be lynched is *shrug*

[Quinoa]

hey quinoa you're aware that you win if you're scum right

Scum can still shoot a hero and die, and lose. You know that.

i wonder if all of the non-KMs could get away with claiming non-KM

Same. The hero and the remaining villager are allowed to claim, right? I know the Kingmaker can't. I'll ask the moderator.

btw unless you can explain why i'd leave naz alive n1, then use that as a reason to NOT execute him d2, and then kill him anyway on n2, you should probably not eggsecute me.

umm no thanks, NKs and your execution choice as a defense are total WIFOM arguments.

gray's probably the last scum btw

you said you thought it was max or mantis yesterday. what changed??? is it because I made it clear Gray was my scumread yesterday? Why is Mantis town?

Also, you didn't answer about why me being willing to be lynched suggested AT ALL I was a Kingmaker. Naz was right that if anything, it would suggest I was a hero because I'd be willing to be "shot" and kill the King in the process.

[Quinoa]

tl;dr explain your flip-flop on mantis,

I feel like scum is definitely one of Max and Mantis, leaning toward Max.
This is based on who would not want to kill me if they were scum.
The Scripten kill indicates that scum is comfortable I think. Could also indicate a grayfoxxxx-scum I s'pose.

Also, you avoided saying anything of substance after Maxous was shot and we could speak in twilight.

[Quinoa]

it's up to you all if you want to claim (Hero specifically, or villager??)

if you think I'm town enough, then you can claim (assuming anything that's not a KM claim is allowed). If not, then I'll just make a choice on who to execute without the benefit of a claim or two.

[Quinoa]

I was asking why your reads changed, and I still didn't get an answer for why Gray is scum and not Mantis. Or why Mantis is scum. So yeah, anyways.

Mock trial? Meh. I'll end it once I wake up tomorrow morning .

[Quinoa]

Hurry up. I'm going to execute/eggsecute in a few hours.

[Quinoa]

i asked him why mantis is town, and he went "im not going through a mock trial if youve already made up your mind, unnless you can explain the night actions then you shouldnt execute me"

pretty much daring me to shoot him soon. not really the reaction i was looking for lol

gray has pretty much gone MIA since Day 1, and his opening post today was really bad (as were the end of day post from Day 2 explaining why he thinks you're not scum - there was no explanation basically). And you're really nervous this game. Gray's D1 featured a ton of 1v1 discredits (slight ones), and then the weird ISO spoiler thing that I Don't even understand the purpose for.

[Quinoa]

but hey nika these are two different approaches, im pressing and its crunch time

while yesterday you were busy and so left the game hanging in the balance, no one had any idea whatyou might do or who you might shoot. everyone lurked, you werent all that active and did a deadline execution. that, after you had the mod send PMs about daystart to make sure everyone knew because of the short deadline. thats also what mantis did. my approach is im just going to be aggressive and spew anything. well i was going to do that even if i hadnt been made king, but that is because currently not occupied IRL

[Quinoa]

i still want to know why nikanor thinks mantis is town though, because i have played i think 3 or 4 completed games at least with mantis and

have never seen her scum,

so.............

and also why gray is scum - is he just being scummy, if so what has he done? i calledh im scum yesterday, and people defended him...andi never got an answer out of anyone why gray is being townread.

[Quinoa]

my reads changed when i re-evaluated for nazarene being town. i was certain he was scum after his posts at the end of the day yesterday so his death turned the game on its head for me.

why did you not like his posts at the end of the day where he called for your execution and defended mantis in the event of his death? was something wrong with his case on you that you haven't clearly explained your reads?

even maxous suspected you after execution, so you going "you shouldnt execute me unless you can explain WIFOMy night actions" is weird. Scum are just as likely to kill someone to create WIFOM, or to take out someone who suspects themselves. So the Naz-alive/dead argument is totally null. But you aren't treating it that way...

[Quinoa]

mantis read the role pm in the OP or WIKI:

" Assassins will likely try and kill you above anyone else, so that's another good incentive to stay quiet. Once revealed as the Hero, you may not become King of the realm. You win with the VILLAGE!"

Also, Assassins will likely try and kill you above anyone else, so that's another good incentive to stay quiet. Once revealed as the Hero, you may not become King of the realm. You win with the VILLAGE!

im not sure what to make of that but i assumed the hero could out?

[Quinoa]

on the contrary, or is it only after the hero gets shot that he is revealed?

[Quinoa]

I JJUST ASKED IN PM

ARONIS SAYS THE KING CAN CLAIM

[Quinoa]

I MEANT THE HERO CAN CLAIM LOL

too excited posting soz

[Quinoa]

well, this sucks. gotta wait for Grayfoxxxxx to come out and say something to make sure whomever claims Hero isn't countered...

[Quinoa]

nik - why wouldnt you go through a mock trial, cause you already stated to him you were not hero.. insinuating you think he is town

if he *does* think I'm potential scum, since I obviously wasn't KM (which was why he townread me initially), then he could claim not-hero (as the real hero) to dare me to shoot him and suicide that way.

[Quinoa]

mantis how much do you trust your Nik read. you said you had him and Naz as 100% town in Day 2 twilight.

also, why do you think he's town for sure? i know you have a hydra Krystal Bald (which i played with in a completed micro gamee) so im asking you

[Quinoa]

re: nika

ok, the only thing weird about mantis's words when discussing with you was the "nika i would have killed you by now, you know how bad my scumgame is" thing Day 2 I think. made me feel she's super-aware of her meta

if she is aware that she is typically lurky in the psat and wants to win here, she can just be very straightforward with you for an extended period of time.

mantis has been really lurky (even during the day where she was king), and from past games she's typically busy IRL even as town so can get lurky/inactive for periods, and given the short deadlines here IDK about that. those are my thoughts.

she has used a lot of POE here too, what do you think of that?

fyi if its not obvious already, i want to know who the hero is right now, so i have a 50% shot, not a 33.33333% shot at executing correctly.

[Quinoa]

gonna iso grayfox. and get back after that

not being active during d1 will probably bite me back later
but i was just really burned out tbh, however
his iso is just so all over the place D1, and then the aggressive start just withered as the game went on. i mean not finding anything to say D2 was a huge red flag. Ugh. So yeah, which makes it even more important to whittle it down to 2 suspects.

[Quinoa]

just realized both of you are from Canada lol

p-edit that's cool i guess

[Quinoa]

no

[Quinoa]

this reminds me of an old game with formerfish and desperado who know each other really well and hydra together too, where they were both up for lynch and were almost 100% sure the other was town.

so like, mantis needs to be very sure of her read on nikanor, and vice versa, and convincing about it

[Quinoa]

oh and yeah in that game, both were town. but i digress

[Quinoa]

Hi gray

Why shouldn't I shoot you

And who are you townreading and scumreading, and why

Also please note that the Hero is allowed to claim.

[Quinoa]

Gray gray gray gray gray gray gray gray

You making me go

Cray cray cray cray cray cray Cray Frau cray crazy

[Quinoa]

I will if she's not hero? I'm pressuring people just cuz

I will shoot before Thursday night football I promise

[Quinoa]

Guys I was vla through day 2 almost in it's entirety. Still phone posting but scum is either nika or quino. Going to look through some isos too see if anything jumps at me. Details incoming soon.

Claim hero or not hero.

Now. I mean it

[Quinoa]

I want coffee

I already had cashews tonight

[Quinoa]

If it's peanut butter I'll take some

[Quinoa]

Does my face look serious?

[Quinoa]

If it's peanut butter I'll take some

nah i'm allergic

[Quinoa]

I did a half take and thought you meant the cartoon lol at first

Only place I love peanuts at is Logans Roadhouse

Southern store tho

[Quinoa]

Kill me* phone is shit

I'm on my phone too. Why won't you answer???


You're not here often and I need an answer because you're a suspect?

[Quinoa]

Yea cuz I'm not equipped to make a good decision cos I wudnt rly there if u no what I mean

Gray, if I were scum, I would have killed Nikanor a long time ago today

It's obvious he isn't hero

[Quinoa]

I'm gone for the night...

I still need to know who the hero is before I shoot, so I am not shooting when I wake up like I said I would earlier

That was before I knew the Hero could claim.

[Quinoa]

Plus, unCCed hero is p much conftown.

And I can weigh said hero's input

Hate LYLO decisions

[Quinoa]

ugh i played so terribly this game but whatever

execute: grayfoxxxx

[Quinoa]

Spoiler: ATTENTION GUYS THIS EXECUTION WAS NOT A DRILL

Spoiler: MANTIS THE HERO

[Quinoa]

I was town btw

[Quinoa]

That's lame. I shot you because I knew you weren't kingmaker.

No kingmaker is appointed for LYLO.

[Quinoa]

Oh well gg

[Quinoa]

I asked Mod if people can claim Non-KM, and he said it was pointless to appoint a new kingmaker in LYLO since the KM can't claim anyways.

[Quinoa]

Anyways, congratulations Nikanor.

I thought playing on a random alt would be interesting. It was. Thanks Aronis too.

[Quinoa]

Mantis gave Nika bruises???

Poor Nik

[Quinoa]

Good point! glad you aren't suffering from said bruises!!!!

I trusted her and she fooled me! They're all lies!!!
