Mini 2243: Chromatic Ascension || Game Over!

[The Rainbow Knight]

Who's up for a dance?

I like your enthusiasm!

[The Rainbow Knight]

I would like someone to sweep me off my feet.

My ideal dance partner will have to be charming, dashing, witty and kind.

He must be able to protect me during a storm,
be gentle in times of storm and turmoil,
be a rock that I can rest peacefully knowing that I can trust.
be the laughter that I can count on to cheer me up.

I must warn you about myself.
I am very very very paranoid,
Skittish to a fault almost.
I will stay up nights worrying about your alignment.

I promise I will give you time, support, and more thoughts than you care to read.
I will support you, treasure you, and protect you as long as I trust you.
Show me what lies inside your heart and trust me to see you for what your true alignment is.

[The Rainbow Knight]

So Rainbow Knight is confirmed town, right?

I'm not an innocent child per se but I am aligned with the Knights of Hue.

It will become more obvious over time, I very rarely get misread when I am town.

[The Rainbow Knight]

Does having 7 cool mean there is guaranteed scum in the group by the way?
I'm not really used to these so-called dance games.

It would certainly be harder to kill a mafia if they are all among the six!

While the distribution mechanism is unknown I think it would be highly unlikely for there to be no scum among the seven.

[The Rainbow Knight]

I love a nice glass of burgundy!

[The Rainbow Knight]

I'm currently enamored of Daffodil and Rose upon entry.

I would accept Azure in a heartbeat but we are unfortunately too cool to dance together.

[The Rainbow Knight]

What do you not like about Crimson's posting?

[The Rainbow Knight]

What do you not like about Crimson's posting?

Too much fluff.

I think he sounds rather earnest and honest

[The Rainbow Knight]

An easy lie to make as scum, yes, but one they think to make, perhaps a tad less likely.

I think we should actually be careful of this. I think the lack of meta gives mafia a lot of freedom to manipulate. I can see what you're saying though about scum having a slightly less chance of thinking to make a post from that perspective. But a mafia in the previous dance game was initially townread for similar reasons. Looking at Azure's other posts, I can't really make a read. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

I think the comfort level and carefree nature of Azure is very townie.

I understand the concern about lack of meta, however there are not many players who are comfortable playing scum on the site in general so I feel comfortable trusting them.

[The Rainbow Knight]

Beige who do you town read of the cool people?

[The Rainbow Knight]

Cakes/GiF, you will both be missed <3

[The Rainbow Knight]

Daffodil is currently the knight that has most captured my heart and I would be happy to accept their proposal if they wish to make it.

His response to my opener was by far the best:

I like you. It may be a faint hope, but I'll endeavor to live up to your standards.

While most did not mention it, Daff leaned into it and treated it as something almost aspirational to reach for - I love the way they approach it.
I'd expect a scum player to be somewhat hesitant/intimidated or perhaps even avoid me because I'm quite upfront about how demanding I am; Daff seems to look forward to the challenge and excited to meet or exceed my standards.

[The Rainbow Knight]

Knight Daffodil - Lean Scum

Why do you lean scum on Daffodil? He is probably my strongest TR atm other than Azure.

[The Rainbow Knight]

I think Daff has been quite clear in his language use, which posts do you feel are purposefully opaque?

post]236[/post] feels like a real read/thought-process with some depth and nuance that I liked, have you read it?

[The Rainbow Knight]

236

fixed

[The Rainbow Knight]

why did you choose to be Cool? Did you have anything to inform you of the decision or was it a whim?

I picked cool because it's cooler than warm : )

I don't have anything to inform me of the decision - the sides look symmetric to me.

[The Rainbow Knight]

236 feels like a real read/thought-process with some depth and nuance that I liked, have you read it?

A wall that townreads the most town player in the game and appears unprompted. Ok.

I think Chartreuse was the one who asked Daffodil about it?

[The Rainbow Knight]

I am also having a little trouble keeping everyone straight, but I think Azure is town.

Can you explain why please? I don’t get that vibe.

^ this is where Chart asked Daff.

20 minutes later Daff posts his wall about why Azure is town.

I think it's likely these are genuine thoughts Daff has about Azure.

Also if you look at the context of why Daff posts this wall, it's in the middle of Azure/Chart having a spat in the thread so it's not like Daff is doing it randomly for towncred; Daff wants to prevent the Azure/Chat conflict from growing.

That's something I rarely see scum do when there is a fight in a thread.

[The Rainbow Knight]

Do you often see scum interrupt fights in thread between their scum partner and a townie?

[The Rainbow Knight]

You can't propose to me as we are both cool

[The Rainbow Knight]

if Rainbow is town, she might have a hard time trusting me.

Why would you think that?

Do you have trouble being townread?

[The Rainbow Knight]

Uh

Not accept propose

I went with my heart

Sometimes it all works out in the end <3

[The Rainbow Knight]

That's an... extremely reductionist take. Do you care to quote what posts stood out to you as the 20 percent content, then? I feel like even whenn we post in flowery language, game content is being conveyed.

?????

Are you seriously asking me to spam the thread

Indigo, I think it would be best if you just walk us through your thoughts about who you want to pair with and why?

This is just a game for fun and if you are town it's best we can see that somehow.

[The Rainbow Knight]

That's fair - I guess I am kind of crazy at times.

I do like your posts in this page though! : )

[The Rainbow Knight]

i don't like some of the shade in daffs iso and they seem to be gunning hard for the rainbow knight. lean scum

?

I don't quite understand this point.

I told Daff I would be happy to dance with him and he didn't propose to me or anything like that.

Why would you come to the conclusion that he is "gunning hard for me?"

[The Rainbow Knight]

She had her eyes on him the moment he walked into the room, so radiant and confident,
His smile felt like sunlight, butterscotch, fresh daffodils blooming in the springtime,
She warned him of her mood, a tempest at sea, lightning on the horizon.
His voice was calm and measured, an unyielding mountain against the storm.

She waited for him at the center of the room; her gown shining like a thousand diamonds under the lights,
He took his time to approach her; his approach was measured and decisive, his offer firm but gentle,
She took his hands in hers and leaned into him, his scent washing over her like a gentle breeze,
His hand flowed to the small of her back, her head fit perfectly upon his strong shoulder.


They twirled slowly together in the center of the room, many colors merging into one.

I accept Daffodil

[The Rainbow Knight]

@Seafoam

What are you thinking about when you make a decision between Marigold & Rose?

[The Rainbow Knight]

I have good feelings about Marigold's 558

I think you made a good choice and I hope you will prove to be worthy of being her partner!

[The Rainbow Knight]

I don't think it makes sense for Magenta to propose everyone leaving if Magenta is scum with Indigo.

That's a really crazy way to play it.

[The Rainbow Knight]

I actually like you better than Magenta because Magenta's been pretty much all over the place in terms of reads etc; but I don't really want to influence Rose's decision making.


My post was to meant to tell Rose that she should pick one of you rather than sitting out altogether as she was contemplating.


Thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts so

vividly

it does help !

[The Rainbow Knight]

i actually like indigo's reaction but i don't like rose's

What do you not like about Rose's reaction?

Are you saying you'd prefer Indigo to be paired over yourself?

[The Rainbow Knight]

I currently prefer Indigo to get a pair. I think all three are likely town, but Indigo is likely more capable of escaping the LHF zone.

I'm so glad I picked you <3

[The Rainbow Knight]

btw is there anyone who would really like to join me in a neighborhood tonight ?

My heart is with Daffodil but I am happy to work with another.

[The Rainbow Knight]

After the pairing stage is over, I can form a permanent neighborhood with any knight of my choosing during Night 1.

We can talk about who to pick tonight

[The Rainbow Knight]

if thats the case wouldn't it be rather simple to win?

[The Rainbow Knight]

we don't really need to identify which pair has scum in it, just which pair is possible to be s/s

[The Rainbow Knight]

i shared some music with daffs and he was quite the gentleman.

we both thought burgundy was susp and had similar readslists.

[The Rainbow Knight]

oh that neighborhood

she told me you were very townie and we mostly talked about how amazing our dates were and how Azure should eat a bag of rocks.

I asked her for her readslist/your readslist but she didn't give me anything so I think maybe she didn't trust me?

[The Rainbow Knight]

Also, Rainbow, why do you think that you're not an IC in this dance game? (When historically there is always an IC)

I don't know, probably because Ydrasse is a very scumsided mod?

[The Rainbow Knight]

the seafoam kill really is throwing me for a loop because Daffodil said he suspected seafoam and now seafoam is dead so I don't know if he would kill his own suspect just to make me townread him.

But he's also telling me he feels uneasy about me which implies he will be leaving me at some point and I'm not sure if it's performative or real.

[The Rainbow Knight]

I don't really understand his motivation if its to float a suspect, get me to sort of agree and then nightkill the suspect just to put my head on a spinner. I am moderately worried at this point.

[The Rainbow Knight]

I’m torn or you two and Rose for the T -T pair. Rose did seem really genuine but this makes it a lot harder.

same tbh. i am worried about losing the game for us by misreading daffs. I can't even remember the last time I messed up when I locktowned someone so it will be quite the egg on my face if I am wrong here.

[The Rainbow Knight]

It'd be weird if I *didn't* question everything after that shot.

I'm sorry for being rough on you dear <3

I did warn you I get insanely paranoid if we are alive today.

[The Rainbow Knight]

I am just sad I didn't get a chance to flirt with you yesterday :<

[The Rainbow Knight]

I am just sad I didn't get a chance to flirt with you yesterday :<

Even if you're an evil rainbow, you're still the apple of my eye <3

I might have to leave now before you pocket me again :O

[The Rainbow Knight]

Is there some reason you’re posting this in the main thread and not your PT?

If either of you are scum, I could see this as an attempt to be read as T-T and while you could be the T - T pair, I leaning to believing Daffodil over you.

I post in the main thread because I have nothing to hide.

[The Rainbow Knight]

Daffs - Crimson - Indigo

[The Rainbow Knight]

I think Rose is actually more important here

how was your hood with rose?

do you feel comfortable betting the game that Rose is town?

[The Rainbow Knight]

I think it's important to have everyone's thoughts about where the destination is down so we can look back to what people wanted as we progress down the path we are taking.

[The Rainbow Knight]

I think it’s highly likely. I’m not ready to bet the game yet. Like I said, I’m torn between you and Rose. I think that one of us is most likely T - T but I really want to hear from everyone. Like I said, she’s done nothing to ping me but no, I can only be certain on myself.

Do you trust Daffodil at the same level as you trust yourself?

[The Rainbow Knight]

I meant the implication that you are deciding between me/rose implies that you've decided on Daffodil so if you have thoughts about why Daffodil must be town that would be quite helpful for me.

[The Rainbow Knight]

oh that neighborhood

she told me you were very townie and we mostly talked about how amazing our dates were and how Azure should eat a bag of rocks.

I asked her for her readslist/your readslist but she didn't give me anything so I think maybe she didn't trust me?

WOAH WOAH WOAH WHAT THE FUCK.

I posted both my reads and crimson's reads in the same post. Well before the start of this day.

Explain yourself.

Oops :/

I think I was just really tired that day and completely missed this ~_~

[The Rainbow Knight]

I think it's important to have everyone's thoughts about where the destination is down so we can look back to what people wanted as we progress down the path we are taking.

???? What does this mean ?? “Destination is down”???

as in "written down" so we know what they want the end to be.

It will be useful to see this later.

[The Rainbow Knight]

I just got home, and apparently this game is now that one meme with the guy delivering pizza to the burning building.

Is this not transparently a WIFOM shot to cover a S-S pairing by getting a wider pool of elims on T-T pairs?

Because in the hot seat, that is exactly the play I would have made.

Somebody on the mafia team is a fellow lover of mind games, it would seem.

Who are you even suspecting for S/S ?

[The Rainbow Knight]

I am just sad I didn't get a chance to flirt with you yesterday :<

Even if you're an evil rainbow, you're still the apple of my eye <3

I might have to leave now before you pocket me again :O

What is your actual thoughts on Daffodil?

I was disappointed he wasn't that present during the night when we were in private together but every time see him posting in the main thread he feels so gloriously townie.

I'm conflicted about what this means. I'll write up a longer post that can better show what I think about him and you can let me know if you see something I don't?

[The Rainbow Knight]

@ Chart

The way I think about it, I'd rather eliminate a pair that has a chance of being S/S rather than a pair that can only be T/S at best.

For me you/beige both have scum equity whereas I can only get to T/S in L/Crimson and Indigo/Rose.

[The Rainbow Knight]

if Indigo/Rose are S/S - it doesn't make sense for Rose to have wanted to pair with Magenta rather than Indigo.

I think Crimson is very townie from dayplay and the way he is thinking about the game and lastpairing outside of his own pair.

So that leaves You/Beige as the only pair that could actually be S/S here.

[The Rainbow Knight]

I'm more concerned about limiting the damage in case we are in an S/S world where we have 50% chance of losing this game.

[The Rainbow Knight]

(A) if we are in 2-1-0-0 then the odds of losing today is 50%

(B) if we are in 1-1-1-0 then the odds of losing today is 25%

I would like to eliminate the pair that's most likely the 2 in (A) as that limits our odds of losing the best.

[The Rainbow Knight]

do you have a strong reason to think you are T/T with Beige right now?

[The Rainbow Knight]

I would elim Chart/Beige rn

[The Rainbow Knight]

How does it make sense to be Rose - Indigo? Rose wasn't even trying to pair with Indigo at the end?

I neighbored you because You/Crimson were both me/daffodil's highest townread pair in the game and we wanted to chat with you about reads etc.

Also I liked your roleplaying and we both share an affinity for playing support in League of Legends - my favorite character is Sona.

[The Rainbow Knight]

Not necessarily, Beige could be with Rose and trying to play into the Xylo that needs me to townread Rose over Lavender.

(@Indigo)

Right now I think Daffodil/Rainbow should be making their way towards the exit.

I'm ok with exiting tonight if you are willing to eat crow if the S/S pair was actually Chart/Beige like I've been saying all along.

[The Rainbow Knight]

If Daffodil actually was scum and I've been misreading him all along then all the more glory to you I guess?

[The Rainbow Knight]

Daffs has been mia all day today and isn't really responding to me in the PT

I'm going to reread what Chart said about him and come to a decision about what to do.

[The Rainbow Knight]

Daffodil showing up 7 min after i call him out for being mia feels like scum beetlejuicing.

I think maybe Chart was just right on the way this plays out?

[The Rainbow Knight]

Now he seems to be pretending that he doesn't understand why Chartreuse is scumreading me and it feels like maybe scum trying their best to look away from whats right in the room

[The Rainbow Knight]

Now he seems to be pretending that he doesn't understand why Chartreuse is scumreading me and it feels like maybe scum trying their best to look away from whats right in the room

How do you distinguish this from actually not knowing.

Oh well. It seems like you're about to leave, and that's an L if so. I can only hope it's posturing.

?

why are you even worried about me leaving if you scumread me?

[The Rainbow Knight]

Rainbow, it would really help us if you claimed. What is your role exactly?

I pick cool/warm before the day 1 begins.

on night 1 I get to neighborize someone, they will get a neighborhood with me starting on day 2.
