Mini Normal 1839 - Game Over!

[GreyICE]

Oh hey y'all. I've read post #492. Can we lynch Penguin for saying misrep in a non-ironic way?

Thoughts as I feel like it.

[GreyICE]

Oh balls he's town. Goddamn it.

[GreyICE]

Well that's it for scumspects unless I do something wacky like read anyone else in the game.

What's up y'all?

[GreyICE]

Who is Thor's vote on? Karnos? What a shit vote.

I'd lynch Al-Anon, that seems like fun.

[GreyICE]

Lmk and knighty are attacking each other for doing the exact same thing. My work here is done.

Also there's some major derailing going on from aron. 381 is the post that catches your eye several pages later? Why? It's... fine, I guess? But it causes you to change the vote you just made? (presumably also after having seen epic post 381)

There's enough people at various times trying to passive-aggressively derail this karnos wagon that it's probably right. At least some of them must be protecting a buddy.

VOTE: karnos

This is a garbage reason to 180 a town read.

Then again it's Lowell soooooooooooooooo null

[GreyICE]

Actually wait, no, I want to dig more.

Yo lurkfuck. Yes, you Lowell:

alpaca

. He basically handled the early pressure fine, and though his posts aren't particularly illuminating, his inquisitiveness reads townish to me. Also, see below, I'm pretty sure he's being whiteknighted.

VOTE: knighty

This guy is whiteknighting the hell out of alpaca.

also nero is town.

You are super down with the idea of "white knighting" earlier in the thread and even specifically call out someone who does it. But you say there's people trying to derail the Karnos wagon. Who are these people? Why

isn't

that white knighting?

[GreyICE]

Man Saru. I want to lynch you, because man. You are just... I need to think on this one some.

Sadly would not lynch NeroCain.

[GreyICE]

I love iron. He's like my inner child given voice. I think I should construct a shrine to him and worship at it every day. I should only hope to someday post something as amazing as post #35.

[GreyICE]

Sooooooo


Errr


Am I the first person to notice that Knighty Knight is obvious scum?

Like super fucking obvious scum?

[GreyICE]

I mean maybe just incompetent. Maybe. But the combination of vicious defensiveness with insights so shallow they might as well be puddles and the posting frequency of once per blue moon is a really ugly mixture.

[GreyICE]

God its his first game. Why is it his first game

Does that explain away the hostile defensiveness and reads like this:

Lowell has said barely anything including RVS which, to be fair, he was trying to help out but after that, he went silent except for a post calling my read on Arona "opportunistic" which, after I explained he went back to being silent. Lowell also hasn't really said a whole lot, like... less than anyone else... and with less content as well. So I am going to have to sit null on Lowell as well, have nothing to base an opinion off of.

where it's blatantly fucking obvious he only pays attention to what other people say about him and completely obvious facts a child of six could pick out like "Lowell doesn't post much"

[GreyICE]

You're town so that's an obvious plus. Who else is on it? LMK and Arona? Good gravy, two people I haven't read. Geez. Making me do work here.

[GreyICE]

LMK's #134-#135 were super fucking good. Like super duper good posting. Okay, he's town.

[GreyICE]

AronaGrundy, occupying the traditional scum slot on the wagon! And he's... oh great good gods. *shudder* *twitch*

*twitch*

*projectile vomit*

Err....... tooooowwwnn

maybe

?

[GreyICE]

Oh god now Saru is making me think about him.

Saru you're a tough nut to crack this game and that makes me sad. Why you gotta make me think?

[GreyICE]

Like Saru... your entire post history after a few days is just KARNOS.

The entire.

Fucking.

Thing.

I can't think you give so much of a shit about Karnos that all you've done for the past 10 days is sit there and stew about him while not engaging on anyone else. Like... at all. That's not good play, and that's very emotional play. Like everything after October 12th is all Karnos, Karnos, Karnos. And the thing is you're not even super engaged with him, you're not super hard scum reading him, you're not super hard pushing him, you're even willing to hop off his wagon.

So... why did you spend all your time on Karnos? I can't help but thinking it's because the town was letting you spend all your time on Karnos.

[GreyICE]

Nah, no, that's not it. I modded a game with you in it, I got to read you. You posted a shitton, both in the thread and in the mason QT, and you're a hell of a lot more analytical than all that. You're not emotionally disinterested, but even during your spats with Percy the Prat you never got like super hyper tunneled. And even then, like half the time you're almost incredulous that Karnos is playing this poorly more than you are really scumreading him in your posts. And here you're in a tunnel, but not like a real tunnel. It's like a shallow tunnel you can pop out of at any time.

What's your thoughts on the rest of the game?

[GreyICE]

I'm not saying it was great play, but man, you were giving a shit and caring.

Here you're telling me you parked your vote for 7 days on someone you don't even think is scum? I mean fucking seriously, you parked your vote for seven days on someone you didn't even think was a scumread, and what woke you up to this was... what? My deep and compelling arguments based on my first impressions of who I was reading?

[GreyICE]

I mean holy shit, you even analyzed what you did wrong in that game. See what I mean? Like take

a totally hypothetical player

. He sucks in every game, but there's no self awareness of like why he did things wrong, and why. It was what, your first or second game? And you're thinking "what did I do wrong? How could I improve?" Not fucking analytical? My shiny metal ass.

Here you're... you're not thinking like that. It makes me squirrely, in a "I might very well vote to lynch you" way.

So basically this entire game and you have two town reads?

[GreyICE]

So! Why Knight over Thor? And what arguments of yours did Thor steal?

[GreyICE]

Vote: Saru

[GreyICE]

And yet I did.

[GreyICE]

@Thor: your wagon consists of you yelling at Karnos over meaningless crap until he inevitably contradicts himself and then calling him a hypocrite. Wow, you can out-debate Karnos. That's very meaningful.

Why would I sheep your vote, especially when you stole all your arguments from Saru~

[GreyICE]

But seriously, what's scummy there?

[GreyICE]

But LMK isn't scum.

And now I'm wondering about Sharky. Man that wagon was fast and had some shady shit.

[GreyICE]

Mod: Request deadline extension, or at least pause the counter until the slot is filled.

I believe in the Saru wagon. This one came together astonishingly fast. That's scary.

[GreyICE]

Hello all, 24 pages doesn't seem like much to catch up on.
Skimmed over my previous person in slot before I replaced in so have somewhat of starting point.

Hi Fire.

Do you prefer playing as town or scum?

[GreyICE]

And you say you skimmed over the slot BEFORE you replaced in?

Thoughts?

[GreyICE]

I could actually just bold Vote: Fire Assassin and you'd be dead.

I want Saru dead, but you're making a pretty convincing case I should do the above -_-

[GreyICE]

A scummy fucking claim.

I could see FE going fuck you all I don't give a shit, but why claim jack then?

[GreyICE]

Like... FA, I don't care about PRs. I don't. Mafia always have one when they claim on day 1, and your scummy ass claim can't be counterclaimed. That's why it's scummy shit.

[GreyICE]

But you did try to appease us, with that "I'm a PR" shit. That was a direct attempt at appeasement. Like now you're hitting okay notes, but it's all talk and no walk.

[GreyICE]

But you did try to appease us, with that "I'm a PR" shit. That was a direct attempt at appeasement. Like now you're hitting okay notes, but it's all talk and no walk.

If you want to have a fight, let me first finish my catch up, okay?
I am fine with a brawl with you. You just gotta wait.

I actually didn't want to brawl. Your wagon got five votes out of literally nowhere. That's not proof of town, but it's not a bad sign.

But then you gotta go commit one of my top 3 "favorite activities of scum" and that makes me sad. Like what you did is horrible as town and great as scum, so you're either stupid or scum who panicked.

I mean I could buy you're ornery enough to tell us to go fuck ourselves for claim, but what you did instead was horrid.

[GreyICE]

I mean I'm fine with catch-up. I'm not saying I won't randomly hammer either. Call it spice.

[GreyICE]

*shrug*

Not gonna argue with you to distract from catchup. If there's a hammer there's a hammer. It will be the will of the gods.

[GreyICE]

That vote has a winning personality.

[GreyICE]

I'm happy how fast Saru's wagon came together because I want to lynch him. Is a VT claim seriously dissuading FA? After I said scum always claim PR? I'd rather just lynch FA frankly, after that pathetic showing.

But no. Saru dies.

[GreyICE]

Mal vote is garbage. Would lynch Thor for his response post. Would lynch Saru in general.

[GreyICE]

Also why are we doing some fucking rain dance?

This is scum as shit.

[GreyICE]

Like. The only one I care about is vig. Vig lowell, general principke. FA claims first thing tomorrow if he's alive.

[GreyICE]

I sorted you Thor. Your response to me was crud. You missed an obvious joke, you responded to me more heavily than Saru, and you QQed over Saru's obvious nonsense copying thing was bad. Your argument on Karnos started bad, and your restatement made it look bad too.

Am I fine with you and Saru both being scum? Yup. The shittiest distancing attempt ever? Yup. Is an analytic/emotional player going to notice when they're on the wagon with fellow scum and make sure to put some strategic distance? Yup yup yup. Is there any problem with lynching you. You? Nah. I want Saru more because his behavior is a slam dunk for scum, but I have no problems with your death.

You can rearrange my priorities by self voting or claiming scum, feel free.

[GreyICE]

Oh holy shit though.

I looked at mal's recent posts. Whatever you can be town. This is fake VLA shit.

Vote: mal

Jesus. Don't claim, just die. Fucking fake VLAers. This doesn't just make you scum, it means you're garbage who abuses site rules meant to accommodate people IRL. Welcome to the hell of "I will expect you to post content at all times in all games I am a part of regardless of VLA status."

[GreyICE]

Well played to BJI. Good scum game.

As a side note the tow should no lynch in MyLo if there's no confirmed townie. Even if you think someone is 95% to die then do it. Might make you requestion the reads.

I think BJI was playing well enough he would have won anyway (probably Karnos dies and it's the same thing) but still.
