Mini Normal 2181 | College Basketball Players | Game Over

[Cabd]

The joys of an active cohort.

[Cabd]

Mr. Mod, you're gonna love-hate your votecount posting needs shortly.

[Cabd]

ffery and syr too busy collectively deep breathing to come post in the main thread instead of the scum PT despite their F5 mashing, it seems.

[Cabd]

i am ready to serve pizza

But is it deep dish~

Will it cause allergic reactions?

Find out next time on...

Holy shit. It wasn't deep dish, it was Pan Pizza all along. Good job Prism, just gotta find the third one now!

[Cabd]

Peta skipped me, who broke the wave, to vote prism back.

Cut and dry, folks.

[Cabd]

{Peta-Pizza-???}

Doubt it's a self-bus from Prism so yay.

[Cabd]

Would you say, perhaps, that it was a pan pizza... made with beefy cheese?

[Cabd]

GLADIATE: Pizza and Myself

I am so cool, I am already voting within this gladiate.

Also yeah hi long time no play. But why call me out over the even older living fossil-derps here?

[Cabd]

Cabd, you gonna spend the next 2 pages cowering in the scum pt?

Today is my first day back to (pretending to) work!

I have a big grown up email and everything.

[Cabd]

I'm so goddamn desperate to get a red PM these days, I feel like I ought to go sign up for six more games to have a shot at one. Fakegod's antechamber fakeout is the closest I'm gonna get this year.

[Cabd]

hint of a townread on ffery

But like the shitty kind of advertising hint, where "Hint of Lime" means "a single lime was in this 500 gallon barrel of water at one point during storage" for a vitamin water brand.

[Cabd]

PT Reveal - Signing up and playing the game automatically presumes you give permission for any private topics to be revealed at games end.

Thankfully no salty scum allowed.

[Cabd]

It was general agreement, but clarity that it's like SUPER fucking light.

[Cabd]

Fiery can’t be scum here right?

If I were scum, I actually would be crying in the scum PT about now.

Nu uh. This player list is like the dream to draw scum into, the ultimate proving grounds.

Look at how tryhard our boy is.

[Cabd]

I have no desire to shine bright green this game.

I want to be a murky lime green, or maybe a "grass in the central valley" light brown, at most.

Thankfully, this entire fucking player list is night action bait, so we can ALL delight in being equally magnetic.

Who did you mean by "our boy"?

Who did you think I meant?

[Cabd]

I meant syr.

I was sarcastically calling his shitposting try-harding.

[Cabd]

It's all he has, ffery.

He can't ACTUALLY post lest he get Bell'd.

[Cabd]

co-sign

Really? This feels more like a tangent!

[Cabd]

Any port in a storm, eh?

[Cabd]

I am intentionally holding back on my posting, indeed.

I don't think a me-focused day one is always the healthiest way a game can proceed. Especially in a player list of this caliber. Especially-especially in a normal/open as opposed to a theme.

I mean, hell, Skitter and Elements have yet to get a single post in.

I'm probably going to hold some things a little closer to my chest than normal too, so prepare your hive-rash treatment gel as required.

[Cabd]

Should I take this as a Sine that you want my spammier self present?

[Cabd]

No, I'll get to day three on my own merits, TYVM.

[Cabd]

That seems like an incredibly odd thing to have missed, since your reads post was after my vote post, but before your asking me to vote my existing vote.

Did your read on me not take my post 169 into account?

[Cabd]

I feel a great disturbance in my nap. As if syr is leaning too hard into the shit posting realm to dodge Ffery and I, and it's scary.

Ffery I think we might have to end him for mercy.

[Cabd]

I just feel ambivalent about playing as me, that's all. It's nice to see you too, obviously I joined for the playerlist etc etc, I just really didn't want it to be known that I was me especially given that a couple of people here know me.

I'm a nice guy and won't meta you. I'll treat you as a hectic alt instead mmkay?

[Cabd]

Don't think this line of questioning is productive any more. Can you both instead unpack your syr read because I'm no longer calm about it.

[Cabd]

Yeah it was to bork and prism. Ffery can do her own thang.

[Cabd]

;+/ prism I meant your townread on syr that I wanted unpacked.

[Cabd]

She has some data that you lack, syr.

Let me know when and if the gnawing gets to you that you'd like me to share with the class.

[Cabd]

Forget bridesmaid. I'm just here as the wedding caterer this time.

[Cabd]

Forget bridesmaid. I'm just here as the wedding caterer this time.

borkthoughts?

Nah.

Really don't want to pick at either bork or prism rn.


More interested in hecticalt and vax homework for tonight's insomnia dose.

[Cabd]

I was hoping to get your vax read in more depth. I understand we're a slow moving game-whale so "I don't really have enough data besides elements said to" is fine for now if not.

[Cabd]

I feel like I should address the elephant-sized missing data point in the room and point out that prior to signing up for this game, I spoke at length with a few folks about how I have a desire to play more "conventionally" in normals/newbies and keep my chaotic self constrained to themes.

The whiplash you're feeling is probably trying to place that and weight is vs. "Is this just scum cabd trying to look for a way to excuse treading new ground instead of his 2020 town game he knows he cannot keep up with" but obviously, you have to answer that for yourself.

[Cabd]

Also, elements specifically didn’t tell me to if you check her posts. I voted of my own volition

Yes, I sit corrected.

[Cabd]

engagement / attempt to wade through your initial wariness / pinging off each other

This risks too much leaving slots behind that don't need to be left behind.

And for what gain? Another dumb chapter in the dumpster fire twenty book series that is our meta dances? Not worth losing out on interaction with new faces and old friends.

[Cabd]

Another dumb chapter in the dumpster fire twenty book series that is our meta dances?

I feel like there is a happy medium between this game and Illicit Substances, no?

None of the 2020 comparables are good game states for this player list.

Really don't want to make the thread about this either right now.

Want more fresh data from fresher faces.

[Cabd]

None of the 2020 comparables are good game states for this player list

Sorry, what does this mean? Also, I’m having a memory — did you play in the anon wolfdance, Cabd?

I was gentleman the 6th, chaos gent, indeed.

To unpack the top part a bit more...

Often times when ffery and myself are in a list and not a hydra together, day one becomes completely dominated by our posting and prodding at each other, an eternal arms race between us that's been going on seven years now.

We both semi-unretired this year. none of the games that have take place in 2020 have had a version of that dance that I would consider healthy for this player list, nor the kind of play I want to be having this game. It's not that I can't dance with her and spam it up. It's that I won't. I want to enjoy players like Prism that see a 150 page day one and nope the fuck out.

[Cabd]

I encourage the change but it was really annoying watching

literally zero

correct statements made about my preferences all game and it was the torture I deserved for replacing our to begin with, so I have to take this chance to set that record straight even if I totally agree with your point.

Noted.

Not a "right now" thing but I do hope to hear about what got you out of that game eventually. it's a shame, white mage is such a nifty role.

[Cabd]

Triggered.

[Cabd]

I enjoy mechanically complex roles but I am here, in this game, to play "traditionally" so let's pretend I said I love VT and Kumbaiyah ourselves into a drunken stupor.

I want DGB back ITT.

[Cabd]

DGB is probably red

VOTE: DGB

fairly sure this game will be a stomp if the RNG gods are with us again

I'm gonna be "that guy" and go "Why?"

[Cabd]

mena you are already in the pocket

Who is Mena? Is that another hectic alt?~

[Cabd]

Would you like to re-visit the telenovella studio set, DGB?

[Cabd]

Would you like to re-visit the telenovella studio set, DGB?

Sure!

I had just watched the SNL Thanksgiving special and there was a sketch for "The Californians," can we make it that?

I mean I'm originally from California, so you can have partial credit.

What do you make of Prism? A few of us declared explicit townreads, but it seems you really didn't comment much on Prism-data upon your mini catchup you're doing right now.

[Cabd]

In this player list, everyone is a veteran, so nobody is.

Skitter I have a major problem with that catch-up post.


I bet Ffery sees it too.

[Cabd]

Skitter I have a major problem with that catch-up post.


I bet Ffery sees it too.

go on!

Why did you repeat this line twice... did you mean it twice as strongly?

yay random assorted thought time:

- townpings from bork on p1
- scumpings on ffery p2
- pooky why is dgb lockscum?
- townpings on prism
- i don't particularly like vax's entrance but i think he might just post like that?
- *squints at element's readlist* in 151

- cabd may be town

- oh no i think mena may be scum (sorry i see that you didn't want that to be outed but now that it has idk how to ignore it)
- maybe town on syryana
-

I think even without knowing them, and only seeing this game, this holds true, though.

This is really the crux: curious as to why you think this

Three active, strong posters.

VOTE: borkjerfkin

this vote makes me sad cuz i think both you and bork are town

-

I think extending my point that townreading three active, strong posters is very bold as scum.

ok but does elements know that they have this reputation even tho?

- cabd may be town

-

(2) oh, uh. How fortunate that I don’t have a relationship like that with anyone in this PL either then. Nobody at all, nuh-uh .>

on a related note i think you're probably scum and i think i'm probably not gonna force it just yet
- *maybe* (?) townread on pooky (?)

Walk me through why you typed that read out at each of those two locations?

[Cabd]

That's fine, I can wait. It's just that every time I've seen this "same thought twice" thing in the past, it's been scum who went back and tried to edit their catch up to fit the narrative they wanted to fit and I am really hoping you can convince me otherwise or I'll be sad, but in the words of my old friend remembrance, "close your eyes and yeet it"

[Cabd]

So your townread on me In both cases is simply due to my statement that I prefer not to play my spam posting style?


You don't put any stock into the idea that I might claim new style in the player list full of people that know me extremely closely to dodge meta tells? Or is it something else about those two posts that town pings?

[Cabd]

My hope is we hear more from the other low content slots in a meaningful way this evening, although these posts here have been plenty pleasant enough, and I am very rapidly approaching the point where I feel I've posted enough myself that is alignment indicative that I can begin burdening my cohort to have reads of me or die.

[Cabd]

Skitter I have a major problem with that catch-up post.


I bet Ffery sees it too.

I see it.

Feels a little different, though. More to say one of these days.

-------------

I'm fading and the game is picking up speed. :/

The speed will stay within the rails. Just crash and rejoin us tomorrow.

[Cabd]

Skitter I have a major problem with that catch-up post.

I bet Ffery sees it too.

OH! Did you go BBBZZZZZTTT too?

I explained my ping. Might be for a different reason than yours.

[Cabd]

Insomnia strikes.

I wish benhalkum had devoted more ink to the page in his second post. It was a disappointing sequel to his first epic.

[Cabd]

I mean I can sympathize with peta and not feeling like there's a good entry point back into the game but you gotta grin and bear it and wade on in even if it means faking it till you make it.

[Cabd]

Why no followup?

Is she obligated to?

[Cabd]

Fuck it.

UNVOTE:

VOTE: ffery

[Cabd]

I was gonna play that closer to my chest but like.

Game is stagnating for me. Sorry slower posters I prolly doomed us to fifty pages today.

[Cabd]

I am like... doing the non-scifi equivalent of venting air from my star ship into the atmosphere while the ffery-scumhunter-battallion is searching for me among the asteroids, and they're not even bothering to check it out?

Yeah, no.

[Cabd]

I always do that?

That's a me-tell.

[Cabd]

There was no live anything, we were served uncooked pasta and he ran away in shame.

"It's not uncooked, it's just really al dente"

[Cabd]

How much electronic ink will be spilled over a futile chase of Cabd's meta? How convincing is it going to be?

I'm trying to play

this

game, not every game that everyone has ever played.

I'm not chasing his meta. I'm trying to extrapolate his mindset.

For the record I am here but letting this play out. Sometimes a vote is a vote. Sometimes it's more than a vote. Sometimes it's less.

[Cabd]

Yeah. Literally plumbing a new toilet here so... Not today. Doubt vote is gonna be impactful anyways. Too much orbit around pooky-pizza-peta axis.

[Cabd]

Did I fail to mention that I'm in a deathy~?

[Cabd]

Fuck it.

UNVOTE:

VOTE: ffery

ew
VOTE: Cabd

This is the murkiest post in the quicksand rapids I created btw.

[Cabd]

Syr snap vote is completely in character. But the instant flip by elements is not as much so explained.

[Cabd]

I'm an impatient fuck, deal with it.

[Cabd]

ok y did u make a bad vote

It was a pressure vote. Voted had moved in that direction so I added mine.
I wasn't very helpful and didn't tell me anything

A pressure vote... based upon... a single snap emotional vote from syr?

"That's the way votes were moving" was literally a single vote before yours. IDGI. I am quite confused now.

[Cabd]

I'm not giving him any more of a fucking roadmap to hacking my brain than I already have.

:~(

But my free samples.

[Cabd]

I could have asked you about the strength of your conviction. Or I could offer a rift that could be pried into, while getting the exact reaction that you gutted.

You know full know which one I take.

[Cabd]

"where are you at the moment" means, who are your scum reading or scum leaning?

I don't think you have voted yet either.

Her not voting is peak 2014.

Vax did you overlap with us back in the day? I feel like you did but I can't recall.

[Cabd]

It's typical of the vintage-her.

[Cabd]

cabd i'm thinking i should probably sheep you

In what regards?

[Cabd]

Is it because you Townread me and wish to outsource your read, or because you independently think my read is correct?

[Cabd]

I think you might be mistaking the forest fire for the trees.

[Cabd]

I think you might be mistaking the forest fire for the trees.

I'm not feeling like games and puzzles atm.

My vote was to gauge reactions, not as a permanent resting place. Its current position is entirely because i forgot to post a naked unvote tag.

And peta's sheep of it is... awkward for me.

[Cabd]

This game is no xenoblade. I don't have a tenth of the read conviction here yet.

[Cabd]

I mean I wanna hear what you scrounged up

[Cabd]

Also, now that borkgame is over.

First of all, fucking phew, giant load off shoulders.

Secondly...

UNVOTE:

[Cabd]

I'm super tired and my back hurts from carrying you presidents. I'm content to be town and one of you fucks can effort today.

[Cabd]

What happened in xenoblade anyway? I wasn’t following closely but I saw there were three back to back scum guillos and when I checked the end of game post that scum had resigned

I used performance enhancing drugs to lead a perfect town win, and burned myself out for a bit.

[Cabd]

You have to admit though it was the weirdest cherry on top for the last two scum to claim the same fakeclaim.

Maybe we should all massclaim characters here~

I claim Medea.

[Cabd]

Is that actually true? Like you were wholly or primarily responsible for the town semi-perf win?

You can go read it yourself but me, flavor leaf, Cobra kai (alt) were the town leads.

Ffery and Syr were town leaders day one but got shot N1.

I’m not gonna lie my dude, I am not gonna be doing that

Besides which there’s enough people here from there that you couldn’t really lie as scum anyway so there’s no need to

You mean you don't read 200 page completed theme games you weren't in out of an eternal self-loathing? Why are you even on mafiascum.net then?

[Cabd]

I'm unlikely to have a solid ffery read today if current trends continue, but that's also because some of the weirdness might be explained by out of game situational stuff on her account.

[Cabd]

Nah, vote your conscience.

Do you seriously town read me to the extent that my read on her is law?

[Cabd]

The waters run deep, and one must listen to them.

[Cabd]

Cabd are you like, taking a different approach this game? Feel like you did talk about this maybe but I cba to scrub your iso for it

I'm just outta spoons really.

[Cabd]

I have to admit, my eyebrow is raised, going for the AMOL doubledown strat is pretty cheeky, if this is what this is.

[Cabd]

I meant that doubling down on things you know are scum indicative for you and doing them anyways right on my face, a la noraa in deathscroll.

[Cabd]

This is staring to give me Red Wine vibes.

I don't remember that game were we town?

[Cabd]

Also how is that an AMOL vibe?

(Cheeky) Bucket (/cheeky)

[Cabd]

Does that mean you're pretty sure I'm town here and you're mad at me for messing up my you read?

Because it sure sounds like that's the case.

[Cabd]

But but but my shiny prism townread. You're gonna fucking we'll make me read the bork and prism back and forth in earnest now aren't you.

[Cabd]

But but but my shiny prism townread. You're gonna fucking we'll make me read the bork and prism back and forth in earnest now aren't you.

like why would you not read it if only as an attempt to read me, something you've been decidedly undecided on (or cagy?) on this game

It's dense and I'm out of spoons until tomorrow.

[Cabd]

ok y did u make a bad vote

[Cabd]

Can you explain how...

Is this about me?

No, it's referring to Syr reacting with hostility to Cabd's perceived insertions into ffery-Syr and ffery-bork interactions.

Wanting to read you via your interactions with Cabd makes this hostility weird to me, more the first than the second.

-ffery/Pooky/Syr/Cabd zone I have no fucking clue. ffery's only +town read to me really is their Rube Goldberg on Pooky. I am very puzzled by how their scum model based off 2-3 deadthread posts about how scum needed to be more proactive points to me town but whatever. I don't like Cabd avoiding weighing in on me/bork entirely, I can see it as town but given that he's significantly more familiar than I am with bork it's strange that he's dodging it entirely.

?

[Cabd]

No, I more meant that you included syr in that second blurb, but then really didn't add additional context on him, and he was not in the same "zone" as the rest of us as well?

Maybe I'm misreading your stuff.

[Cabd]

Yeah okay weeds, this isn't going anywhere. I'm gonna go spooneffort the you-bork stuff now.

[Cabd]

Yeah IDK i think i'm mis-reading something. I'm gonna step away then come back to it fresh.

[Cabd]

JFC elements I've quoted it like four times, it's not that difficult to see.

[Cabd]

Ffery, appreciated but two things:

1. I still haven't squared the circle on what feels off to me this game about you and that makes me feel sad.

2. I'm not in any danger of being mislimmed this game, so door standing is probably just suppressing interesting data.

[Cabd]

I wish unwnd got a few more votes for giggles.

Wrong game?

[Cabd]

2. I'm not in any danger of being mislimmed this game

have to be town to get misyeeted

Arghh ye got me, matey.

[Cabd]

Yeah the place I went to is same-day results... but the wait to be good to TAKE the test after potential exposure is the scariest part.



Anyways.

Help me square my circle, miss negative results?

[Cabd]

Because right now I'm not really feeling like ridering you, and I'm sure as heck not a mechanical/artifical blade.

[Cabd]

*audible pindrops*

[Cabd]

Because right now I'm not really feeling like ridering you, and I'm sure as heck not a mechanical/artifical blade.

That was a throwaway joke not a crumb. You can stop worrying about that.

[Cabd]

Did you not read my post? I said I was stepping away for a little while.

I didn't, oops.

[Cabd]

I feel like my choices to play this game without the rabid connection building/dance at the start of day one has hamstrung this game and really backfired in my face.

[Cabd]

I will be around in a few hours btw.

Maybe we try to get the morph band back togetehr and attack gifreadz.

I dunno

[Cabd]

I have 12 more warehouses to get through and then yes.

[Cabd]

Did you want off-cuff, or effort-read?

[Cabd]

cuff cuff!

Elements delenda est

[Cabd]

cuff cuff!

Elements delenda est

My townread has faded a bit, but not like this.

That was the cuff, not the researched wall.

None of these have strong conviction but are how I feel after staring at ISO skims for fifteen minutes wheeeeeeeeeeee.

[Cabd]

*audible pindrops*

[Cabd]

Wait IDGI.

Which scum game?

[Cabd]

Ohhhhh as in YOUR scum game yeah sorry man i thought you meant xeno.

[Cabd]

Prism and Bork are Battle Mage and Gamma, but like sipping tea while they debate seated with scones instead of flinging literal shit at each other.

[Cabd]

...I have food on the mind. Curse my mouth and its inability to eat anything larger than a crumb.

[Cabd]

Yeah so DGB feels like she doesn't want to actually engage and I feel like DGB town model is generating some scary posts... DGB here is uh... "HI, have some hot chocolate and crumpets and telenovellas"

But hey, low convictions~

Do you have meta?

NOT A DAMN ONE!

I didn't even click the meta link whoever posted about him posted, because I found this to be outragously towny:

They're just bread crumbing.

What role am I breadcrumbing???

Obviously not bread crumbing as in a role, but in your actions.

I've already voted for you as I'm confident I'm right. I don't feel the need to engage any more.

Either others will see your actions as scummy and vote also, or I'll get coted out, flip green, and they'll go back and see where they should have voted for you.

:shrugs:

guys start pressuring me if u like
nothing much is gonna change as is i imagine

You don't have to town read me.

But you know exactly what .gif this post deserves.

It is not my task to do something as important as the re-unification of the index with the core.

That task falls to you, reclaimer.

[Cabd]

Also for the record, I was gonna like super duper effort and work on a new computer-aided tool of analysis i was brainstorming but uhhhh effort.

I might get insomnia and do it anyways though.

[Cabd]

actually being with skitter in the bottom isnt that bad now that I think about it.

Hey JSYK "the town can't actually elim ALL their scumreads so we can crossbus to go deep" isn't a viable strat after xenoblade II.

Reminding you for a friend.

[Cabd]

cabd ive never bussed d1 in my life

Congrats on losing your virginity?

[Cabd]

It is not my task to do something as important as the re-unification of the index with the core.

That task falls to you, reclaimer.

these words dont' really mean anything to me but i imagine i know what the gist is

i'm aware that i don't necesssarily look like my typical towngame this game (@ffery), but i haven't particularly been trying to, i'm kinda assuming that other people in this pl are competent somewhat and that i don't particularly have the need/desire to like take over the whole thread and that things will work out anyways even if i don't
and i'm feeling kinda ~uninspired~ wrt scumreads atm and i imagine that having people push me will give me something to latch onto

[Cabd]

You gave me your insomnia. I knew I should have worn a mask in the Morph control booth.

[Cabd]

I am drinking wine and now phone posting. This will go extremely well.

[Cabd]

The thing is I'm not actually sure why Ffery has gotten me to where I am in her reads list but I also expect that getting her to elaborate even a single morsel more would be like pulling teeth. And we all know how that shit fucking goes.

[Cabd]

But I do have a free pass.

It's odd that I'm getting a ton of questions and you aren't so much.

Is it actually, though?

[Cabd]

A townread by you, regardless of your alignment, makes me bulletproof. (I guess ropeproof is not really a thing any more but that crosses flavor with night idk)

[Cabd]

Uhhhh, actually, it's probably somewhere in the 90s.

[Cabd]

Her last miss was literally years ago.

If she's scum she worked herself into a really awkward place where she has to townread me anyways given track record so shrug.jpg free pass suck it peta.

[Cabd]

Like really, I'm the one losing the arms race here; but we have more completed games en hydrae than some of the players in this game have on their mains.

[Cabd]

She plays her mental processes a little closer to the chest than I do these days.

My recent read record on her is three for three, though.

[Cabd]

I only ask that ffery, if scum, does me the honor of N1-killing me herself.

[Cabd]

You should finish your business with syr and fuck the haters, they can stand to the side of the dance hall awkwardly sipping punch, ffery.

[Cabd]

Why is bork such a strong townread?

The elements rule is you have to passive aggressively quote this twice more for me to answer it.

[Cabd]

Right but like, I'm explicitly acknowledging it AND refusing to state why.

[Cabd]

I mean, shaking the magic 8-ball is a free action.

[Cabd]

..Okay this bottle of wine might have me back to cheeky mode, I should stop.

[Cabd]

Cabd don't leave me here sinking into a pool of self doubt.

But like, I'm here but I'm avoiding the thread because it got all high impact again and I'm only allowed during low impact zones.

[Cabd]

Was gonna have more but my daughter is having night terrors. Guess I'll call it.

[Cabd]

I woke up wanting to vote Cabd.

I missed this, why?

I'll answer this when Cabd gets his butt in here.

I'm here but this still isn't happening. Even if your endorsement expires.

You've been giving me these little handclaspy signals that you're townreading me but your behavior writ large doesn't match that.

Your engagement with my readlist was pathetic. Your one comment iirc was that you expected Pooky to be higher. And he had been higher for much of the game. It was going back through his iso after rereading the first 20 or so pages that I started feeling concerns.

Hmm, I figured it was pretty obvious what I was doing in regards to relations without stating as such. Maybe not.

[Cabd]

Speaking of trajectory, we just went from extra marinara to pesto sauce.

[Cabd]

It means I have whiplash from a cabd-->ffery vote given only what is posted in between those two.

[Cabd]

Ffery, would it help if I said I am effectively going to stick you hard null until day two and hope I get shot by your N1 to put me out of my misery?

[Cabd]

Even if you're a lol suicide bomber, we'll both be here on day two.

[Cabd]

That is a fact not in evidence atm.

Oh, but like, it is if you're me.

Or who would you prefer to give a guaranteed day two ticket to, if not yourself?

[Cabd]

Also, the reason I didn't engage with your reads wall further is a 22.5ish pound VERY unhappy toddler decided to wake up. Now I'm at work snipe-posting between actual tasks.

You can have your "interactions" tonight.

[Cabd]

Spoiler: Shit only Morph deserves to read because it's that bad and I hate myself for indulging it

If it makes a day 2 ticket worth it, then yeah. Eventually my brain will kick in.

If not, then I'd give the ticket to a townread.

But like, who is that rn? You want me to ticket myself and prism?

[Cabd]

There will always be doubts. In Xenoblade 2 and smokefilled I townread the absolute hell out of him and there were doubts big enough to occasionally hit the thread. I have to find my path through it all.

I could write a book, but I won't. I've seen as much of his scum-mind as it's probably possible to see unless you're PA.

He feels very different from both of those games right now.

Extremely intentional. Did you follow xeno?

[Cabd]

Extremely intentional. Did you follow xeno?

nope, i'm just referencing cakez laying down heaps of praise at your feet like you are a godking of scumhunting

I was literally on performance enhancing drugs.

[Cabd]

I'm not going to wall about his scum game.

My ego demands this; although tbh it's all old and dusty and probably not true any more.

[Cabd]

My problem when town is I don't always play that confidently.

The Norco effectively removed all of my self-imposed emotional limits.

With that said, what Cakez told me on day one of Xeno, comparing me to Alisae, fucking broke something inside of me.

This game is my game to prove I can play town without having to shout and gambit. That RNgesus complied is convenient, but statistically likely anyways when I signed up.

You're posting is totally insufferable rn
It's just like Alisae 2.0 where e was like "hmm look at the scum posting goo!!" And then I was town and e was all shocked but not really

[Cabd]

wow cakez basically scumclaimed openly huh

He did but it's in the past. Lots of mistakes were made that game. Culminating in the last two scum claiming the same fakeclaim on day three.

[Cabd]

that's one reason why you're not seeing it! there's a lot more than mere extrapolation of the past involved. arms race 2021.

Also for the record. You have more insight to my scum mind than penguin does for the sheer count of morph scum games that exist.

[Cabd]

That was one of the oddest ways I've ever seen a player get yeeted out of a game.


Play alt games, win alt prizes man.


Aaaaanwyays.

Syr? Ffery? I wish to drink punch and watch waltzing.

[Cabd]

I'm gonna bookmark one of my Cabd defense posts and reread it every time I start to lose it again.

You should make a new one, with like... gold and diamond flourishes.

[Cabd]

Damn right it does.

Maybe you can even coax me out of my neglected shell.

[Cabd]

If I keep doing this it might scummon syr~

[Cabd]

Cabd's townreading bork but ehhhhh I don't know what I think now.

I uh. Kinda was hoping he'd engage me on that more than it was actually the right place. Mea culpa.

[Cabd]

Hey borkie kiddo isnt great tonight either. Let's raincheck this for tomorrow afternoon if you're amenable?

[Cabd]

tomorrow night around this time probably; never really gonna before then Mon-Thu

Yeah that's fine.

Friday is cool too. Got a data center escort ticket 9pm Friday where I'm stuck in a cage watching a guy fix a server for four hours.

[Cabd]

Might just hunt and peck and snipe at shit tomorrow.


Unless Ffery writes me a tribute slash fic.

[Cabd]

That's the beauty of it because next game you and I olay in together will share a slot. Probably.

[Cabd]

What? He clearly townread syr. Your posts and Tammy's posts were obvscum but syr shone bright enough anyways.

[Cabd]

UNVOTE:

Going to bed. Busy day tomorrow so in all seriousness I expect to be sniping at stuff but no big heavy meaty posts until Friday.

[Cabd]

Syr, you sorta vanished into the ether last night, everything okay?

[Cabd]

I almost made a similar post but kinda glad I didn't.

[Cabd]

I almost made a similar post but kinda glad I didn't.

Which post?

Trying to talk prism-borkie out of their tunnel warz for game health.

Others did it better anwyays.

[Cabd]

This slot is criminally ignored.

Room temperature take.

[Cabd]

It was warm 20 pages ago, but entropy.

[Cabd]

'I actually had this thought 45 pages ago Cabd. Whiteknighting vax was a move I thought would be pretty viable for scum here both on a "protect the miselim bait to look better should they flip" and a "if they dont flip they get easily pocketed"

Yeah I'm just teasing because ffery and I both have skitter in the bottom tier of reads as of 20 pages ago.

[Cabd]

Notsci you think syr's alignment is a function of his postcount in the year of our scumbutt 2020?!?!?

[Cabd]

I also think Prism is town and said wagon is bad.

Endorsed.


I think there's one and exactly one scum within (bork Ffery syr) and maybe its something else but Ffery has felt off so I'm keeping the two of Ffery and syr at arm's length a bit. I townread bork most of the three.



I mean I guess it could be none of them or all of them but one feels right for how this day has shaped up so far.

[Cabd]

None of these have strong conviction but are how I feel after staring at ISO skims for fifteen minutes wheeeeeeeeeeee.

{Vax, borkie}
{ben, pizza}
{Prism}
{ffery, syr, pookey}
~~~THE LINE I GUESS IDK~~~
{skitter, Peta, Elements}
{dgb}

I mean I already had prism town. The fact that it went up a single tier between then and now shouldn't be all the suprising no?

[Cabd]

Syr/Peta/Skitter?

Is that crazy?

Yes

Do you disagree with the other two or are you just memeing

[Cabd]

So this gets to be cobra kai carry with a side dish of Cabd. Pairs well after a main course of Cabd carry with a side dish of cobraleaf.

[Cabd]

Well, she settled for half of me.


She might latch onto you instead.

Notsci, agreed that one of these three flipping red is a softclear on the other two?

[Cabd]

For the record, notsci, she still feels off but I am willing to bank on "sick" not "scum" D1.

Are we gonna do the thing, then?

[Cabd]

Nah man, you ain't going nowhere.

VOTE: syr

[Cabd]

I refuse to let you die, I will go back to hyperposting towncabd so they have to shoot me first if it comes to that.

[Cabd]

I am somehow fourth this game, wow. Guess I really did let up on the gas.

fferyllt 263
Prism 229
skitter30 205
Cabd 198

[Cabd]

Post it anwyays, notsci is a big boy with a real adult jerb now.
