Micro 1044: A Normal Blitz V - Game Over

VOTE: Vandercamp
The animals are taking over

[Dorsey]

Have there been any games where there were no scum slots assigned? Like everyone was town and didn't know it? I want to read that one.

[Dorsey]

Sorry, that really didn't progress this thread at all.

[Dorsey]

VOTE: shiki who do you think is scum and y didn't u vote like everyone else

[Dorsey]

it's suspicious. ur asking others to commit but not committing urself. do u feel every vote placed to this point has been confident?

[Dorsey]

it wasn't in regard to this game. i just thought the arguments were stupid and that an alltown game would be a funny twist.

[Dorsey]

voting is noticeable and pokes the bear. not poking anyone seems like a good way to hide and make friends.

[Dorsey]

in fairness, i think most of the arguments tend to be stupid if they're not based around a wagon or a flipped player, but it looks like that comes with the territory. that's not specific to this one game.

[Dorsey]

yea. u say u suspect cape, but all your questions are for jacket.

[Dorsey]

no, i think u should be free to do what you want, but I'm also free enough to question the pattern. I don't think you'd be this defensive if i hadn't have voted u. edit: I'm not fast enough

[Dorsey]

No. Absolutely not.

[Dorsey]

wait, barely more than one day left, and y'all only got 6 pages in? this game needs CPR

I thought there was more time for reaction testing, but I'm figuring out what '"Blitz" means now. Only players I haven't seen really criticized are bugspray and Cape (other than Looker's hate crime)

weren't people calling bugs scummy? and do you have an opinion on those players? (or like, anyone not named shiki)

I do, but I doubt it'll be helpful or I would have given it already. But here goes...
Vander...I've only seen them protect Shiki and OMGUS me
Jacket...I like them but didn't want to broadcast it because they said they townread me. I was trying to emulate their reaction testing with Shiki but I don't have as many posts.
Bug...Doesn't really say much. I know you said people were calling them scum, but I didn't see much reaction.
Cape...I don't see a really telling connection with anyone. (They had unvoted Jacket but Micc just didn't catch it - had to get that off my chest)
Wheels/Datisi...Please don't make another cult. LGW struck me as a background character and I don't know what made them leave.
Looker...Minimal iso with vote shifts. I'm biased towards this behavior because I do the same thing unless I'm replacing in and there's already content.
Shiki...I don't agree with everything the slot says, but I'm okay with believing for now that a slot wouldn't be so effusive if they didn't believe what they were saying.
Umlaut...Thought the E-1 was weird. Also leery of the pass given to Datisi for perceived contradiction or "madness", but I think that's just because I'm leery of Datisi.

[Dorsey]

O, that is ugly.

[Dorsey]

Actually

VOTE: Dorsey

Not impressed with their ISO, read on Shiki seems shallow and as Vanderscamp pointed out oddly rigid, and if I take 187 seriously I have to conclude they are not currently voting their top scumread. Particularly note their read on Vander: "I've only seen them protect Shiki and OMGUS me," followed by their read on Shiki: "I don't agree with everything the slot says, but I'm okay with believing for now that a slot wouldn't be so effusive if they didn't believe what they were saying." This former read looks like it's arguing for a Shiki-Vander team but the latter looks like they don't even believe that? This readlist does not show the sort of thought I expect from someone who actually means what they are saying.

Your concern is that I didn't move to someone else fast enough?

I don't have strong opinions on Dorsey but

Have there been any games where there were no scum slots assigned? Like everyone was town and didn't know it? I want to read that one.

Sorry, that really didn't progress this thread at all.

Both of these strike me as towny with one another, moreso on the ladder quote here

How are they towny?...

i think being concerned about progressing the threadstate is a bit of an odd thought and obviously something the mafia don't actually care about. I guess thinking about it more, what catches me off gaurd is Dorsey then proceeding to not advance the threadstate until 72, like they literally posted nothing until that time which I would expect if Dorsey was concerned about advancing the threadstate, they would make more of an active effort like, right after they said 29. The thread was already

being

advanced by the time Dorsey chimed in with a game progressing post.

I actually think the "advanced" part is subjective. Post 195 resonates with me.

It's day 1, everything is just kind of a gut feeling that everyone is stretching to put into words.

[Dorsey]

And I don't know how you're supposed to establish patterns or find inconsistencies if you don't press every player. I figured it would be different if they were close to being eliminated.

[Dorsey]

Umlaut, are you more impressed with bugspray's iso?

VOTE: bugspray

[Dorsey]

Is emotional manipulation a part of the game? I thought it was clearly a joke.

[Dorsey]

Because nobody wants to play with me because they've played with me before and know I'm not interesting.

The reason I don't want to play with you is this: (the reason is contained within a spoiler).

And the sooner you kill someone, the less they get to play, so I can see why someone would get hyperdefensive and take it personally.

Spoiler:

Cape90, I hope you know that my vote on you means I personally dislike you and want you to die. You are horrible.

@Mod if a player gets force replaced can we get bonus time equal to the time between the offending posts which were the reason for the force replacement and the actual time of the force replacement?

bugspray's iso wasn't that expansive before post 125, though. i don't get it.

[Dorsey]

Jacket...I like them but didn't want to broadcast it because they said they townread me.

I was trying to emulate their reaction testing with Shiki but I don't have as many posts.

hm

what made you assume that this is what jacket was doing?

I don't know any other way to explain the random voting stage.

Only players I haven't seen really criticized are bugspray and Cape

wait has looker been criticized?

like you say you're biased towards their posting style and such sure

and! that everyone has to be pressured/we need to look under all of the rocks and so forth

but did this actually occur somewhere

This is valid. I made a mental note about looker, but that's about it.

[Dorsey]

i… don’t really think we need to talk about that anymore -

could you respond to 230-231 please

bugspray leaning into the outrage as a way to avoid actually playing the game takes my "meh" compromise vote to an actually serious one I feel strongly about.

I'm leaning this way, I can see it as being NAI

It doesn't make sense to me because they replaced out all over the site. And they weren't doing anything before. It looks like they just took an opportunity.

[Dorsey]

Wait, why me? And who's Andante?

[Dorsey]

I think it's Vanderscamp. VOTE: Vanderscamp Good luck.

edit-Ha

[Dorsey]

I'm dead?

[Dorsey]

It's not locked so I'm still going to post. I don't think both mafia are voting me. It's not like I was really active.

[Dorsey]

That's the most confusing scum PT I've ever seen.

I thought we were redacting it. All of it.

[Dorsey]

wouldn't want you to think someone's trying to kill you
