Micro 1083: Garlic Bread Heist! (Game Over)

[Merlyn]

Hi! Which one of you is the remaining scum?

[Merlyn]

not me

Seems legit

[Merlyn]

not me

Seems legit

anything else

Not until I've finished reading 75 pages

[Merlyn]

"hands" probably comes from the praise of the hands on nature of the class. which is good bc i was told the most important thing was to give them lots of hands on exposure. most of the other metrics were somewhere between 4.5 and 4.7 which is honestly way better than i thought i'd get. if you're still reading these please comment "banana bread." my highest metric was "respects students' ideas and opinions" in which i got a whopping 5.0. really proud of that one! i had to go down a lot of stupid and incorrect rabbitholes to earn it.

this concludes my course evaluation posting

Awww, didn't anyone post 'banana bread?'?

[Merlyn]

the game would be easier if vp was scum bc he just got unpaired from 3 people this page

Oh hey, good news then! Who were the three people he got unpaired from?

[Merlyn]

i dont remember but i did say later on he was "unpaired" from every slot basically after deeper reading!

Damn! Haven't gotten to that yet, or maybe it's on one of the even pages Enchant is reading.

[Merlyn]

VOTE: tris fk it

I always know some top tier reasoning is coming when the voter forgets who's currently in the slot

[Merlyn]

get me some of that pagetop

[Merlyn]

Banana bread

Got good news for you merly

I've seen that now! Unfortunately it turns out it makes us both scum for reading it. Damn Skygazer and her honeypots!

[Merlyn]

u did this twice man I was ready for death at e-1 once already

man I can't fucking help it

Alisae gives me big town vibes for not sticking on the sheep wagon, I don't think she would have gotten a lot of flak for staying on.

[Merlyn]

if sheep flips green i will self vote d2

huh, did that happen?

[Merlyn]

Okay, caught up.

So GB is basically conf town- going down the 'does scum!GB have a role that defeats RBing' leads only to madness.

I may or may not still have the powers of my magic vest, bc there's a chance that the OTHER scum tried to kill me and the bullet bounced off, and it was bad luck that sky RB'ed baltar. Cool cool cool cool

Shea, hellbooks, enchant, or futureAlisae then. Huh, this game is a hard one!

Of this group, Shea is by far the most widely townread. If there's someone who's harboring secret doubts about it him, they need to speak up and make a case now, bc otherwise we should just focus on hellbooks, enchant, and futureAlisae then.'

Of them, I would be more interested in hellbooks or enchant bc I have a slight tr on Alisae's slot- I think she could have gotten away with the sheep mislim with way less wavering.

Hellbooks- hilarious, opera jokes both intellectual and funny, will miss their comments if they get limmed, absolutely has the guts to make posts like the one in end of D1 where they said, I am mafia and then everyone else jumped on board like Spartacus.

Enchant- tough one! Mostly have xofelf's posts to look at again and they were not very present due to RL issues.

VOTE: Hellbooks wanna see what happens.

[Merlyn]

knew i shouldnt have said freaking banana bread

[Merlyn]

I just gonna sheep your decision anyway so

Who you sheeping?

[Merlyn]

I just gonna sheep your decision anyway so

Who you sheeping?

guess

Ausuka

[Merlyn]

I rly dont yet know why shea is town or unpaired with baltar tbh
And alisae and i both thought he was scummy to some extent
So idk why hes widely townread

I remember Alisae's thoughts on it but not yours. Still thought, past tense, or do you think he's scummy now?

[Merlyn]

guess

Ausuka

who is this

Just a name I made up

[Merlyn]

I read day 2. I feel that Garlic Bread and Tris are town.

Who feels scummy, Dunn?

[Merlyn]

Okay, went and ISO'd xofelf and Shea.

If this was scum!Shea, I would expect that after the fight(s) with GB, he would have stuck with it as as good cover to stay on the GB wagon (for clarity, I believe the clash here is real, I'm saying I think scum!Shea would use it as an opportunity). Instead, Shea admitted that his feelings might be influencing his scum hunting and backed off.

Enchant/Xofelf- pure vibes here but I think they're town. I find it hard to read Enchant, but xofelf's posts seem authentically frustrated town with RL stuff hitting them hard (BTW if you're still following the game I hope things are looking up, xofelf). They could have been scum with RL stuff, sure, but the vibes are towny for me, like wanting to play and not being able to get into a good rhythm.

reposting for your attention, hellbooks

[Merlyn]

I don't think a GB wagon was happening yesterday, what would be the benefit for staying on there?

As for Xofelf, I don't have any opinion on that. It's possible you are underestimating them as this feels like a pretty shallow read but I have nothing to base that off of, really.

That's what I mean by cover- not staying on bc it leads to a lim, but bc it's understandable and wouldn't raise any suspicion.

I'm not sure anything BUT a shallow read is possible on Xofelf, there's not a lot of posts. Do you plan on reading D1 out of curiosity Dunn?

[Merlyn]

just still have him in my poe pool rly, and dont fully know what the arguments are for him being town. I thought he was scummy at some point during d1 and havent had much idea about anything past that point

I feel like this is a pretty noncommittal answer

[Merlyn]

48 hours left btw

if we miss, and no PR dies tonight, make sure to no lim

not sure what you mean?

I will bet my life on shea being scum. every word, every freaking character he has pressed submit on is the most scummy content imaginable. Its as if shea personally and lovingly handcrafted each post with the sole intention of being as scummy as possible. and you could not invent a scummier character even in fiction. If shea is not scum i will personally report ausuka for role pm fraud, quit mafia forever, and donate 7 million dollars to a charity of your choice

Man, now I kind of hope you are scum here. I like playing with you but if you're town you gotta have some kind of case on someone

[Merlyn]

Also, if you're wrong, can I be the charity of my choice?

[Merlyn]

also there's like that "avoiding the thread completely" tell that people tend to have when mafia, that when they are busy , if town they'll feel obligated to look and then actually post, but as mafia they'll look, not have good enough context because they need to fake stuff and prefer to lean into being busy(while being caught up) - its the type of thing that is consistent enough that I can say that I would moreso use it to clear people as town if they do come despite busyness based on context

Nah though

[Merlyn]

Game is incredibly scuffed.

I'm still extreme v/la. Still think alisae is by far the most likely to flip red.

Shea, when you get back I'd like to hear your thoughts on Alisae/Dunn here- I think the last post you had about them you were on the fence, so what's pushed you into more confidence here?

[Merlyn]

The main reasons that the fact that a Shea wagon has formed bother me is that

1) it's just the laziest play possible to wagon the person not here
2) No one can really give a case on why he's scum. GB has at least posted some thoughts, but a post like 1931 sounds like POE is the main reason, not a supporting one. Like, you say that Shea's arguments are uncritical but can you give me some examples?

I agree with the principal of the argument that Garlic Bread is making here.

Well, you two have played a lot more than me, maybe I'm wrong, but this seems...like, we literally know where Shea was this weekend, there were like cameras and shit on him.

[Merlyn]

I'm not feeling the Shea wagon. For the reasons I stated above and bc I went back through Sheas posts and it's really hard for me to see what scum gains from fighting a sheep lim so hard. VOTE: Dunn

[Merlyn]

thats E1

[Merlyn]

That doesn't explain why you are voting for me.

I'd rather vote hellbooks but I can't get any traction. So it has to be you or enchant as backup and I find it less likely that that enchants slot is scum.

[Merlyn]

force the wagons to be me vs sheep
oh sheep is town
I know I'm town and objectively I'm nearly clear off JK - so there is a lot to gain there, esp since he started doing it right as alisae slot started pushing baltar and moved his read then


I'm hard against dunn/alisae slot lim here and I'm firmly in the camp of that it's either hellbooks or shea atp

Well then let's vote books instead since we agree here

[Merlyn]

Scum alisae, known for casing their scum partners d1 while another wagon is super viable
They only voted sheep bc I forced it

So- you're saying Alisae scum?

[Merlyn]

I've never played with Alisae, so the sarcasm was lost on me, sorry

[Merlyn]

[Merlyn]

I do, and I'm not sure why I wouldn't. She made a joke twilight D1 about being doc that she carried into D2- when Baltar had suspicion thrown on him by sky for the block, why couldn't she and Baltar have discussed trying to use the joke as a way out?

You just said yourself that you're 'firmly in the camp' of hellbooks or shea, is that true or are you only going to vote shea today?

[Merlyn]

Dunn, where are you voting, Shea or Hellbrooks?

[Merlyn]

You act as if I said it's exactly 50/50. I don't think you read the interaction properly because the way hellbooks treated the doc claim was not to give an out(and later *your* slot claimed a role that was yet another potential out)

I just literally quoted you lol. Hellbrooks couldn't do anything but what she did, though- she couldn't fakeclaim doc after it was so clearly a joke. And my slots claim was a potential out for Baltar, but it doesn't really have anything to do with Hellbrooks.

Pedit- I agree with you, his POE on you was based off of personal feelings, not actual issues. But that's not NAI

You're right it's *not* nai as it is pretty ai as the hardest read he pushed wasn't even a genuine read ;p

oops, I did the thing where someone calls it an ATM Machine

I shall correct! It's NAI, because town do pushes for personal reasons all the time.

[Merlyn]

And I just realized I called you Hellbrooks not books that whole post, sorry!

[Merlyn]

a question for you, what's making you stick on the Dunn wagon over Shea? We've talked about how you have some doubts with Shea, so what makes the Dunn lim a better idea to you?

[Merlyn]

Ausuka just hitting refresh over there to claim the pagetop

[Merlyn]

I'm so curious now, what did you think the role of Crumpet would entail?

[Merlyn]

So we're three and three basically.

[Merlyn]

I'm so curious now, what did you think the role of Crumpet would entail?

Indigestible Crumpet can be abbreviated as IC

sure, but it's not a role...well this is a tangent anyway.

I would prefer not to lim Shea, so I need enchant to switch over if they agree. If it stays deadlocked I will vote for Shea before deadline

[Merlyn]

It's not about the destination, it's about the garlic bread you ate along the way...

[Merlyn]

Enchant, why aren't you voting Shea?

[Merlyn]

merlyn please help me

All we wanted was delicious carby garlicky goodness , was that so wrong?

[Merlyn]

Shea, what order did you investigate?

[Merlyn]

I see the 1v1 has begun, but what I really want to know is if I can trade my 7 million from hellbooks for 7 million goats

[Merlyn]

id like to confer with my bestie merlyn before making the plunge but i think id like to simply vote enchante and make a dignified exit from this game

hey bestie, let's not leave just yet, I have some WIFOMing in me. Yesterday, you were kind of feeling sus of Shea. Has that changed, or are you feeling more sus of enchant?

[Merlyn]

Well, that's why I was asking what order, Shea, as far as I can tell you don't mention hellbrooks at all D2. Why not crumb your find in case you were limmed?

[Merlyn]

arrrrrgh Shea can you just tell me if you're scum? It's okay, I won't tell anyone else

[Merlyn]

It's a compliment, honestly, that I think you're capable of putting together such a good claim as fake.

I have been reading you town, and I definitely have noticed that Enchant suddenly woke up to play, but it's only to scum's benefit to rush.

Hellbooks, have you ever played with Enchant before? Ive never seen them in LiLo, I don't know if this is typical behavior or not

[Merlyn]

lmao wait SHEA forced you to hammer?

[Merlyn]

goes to show you that i really only have like 5 jokes

no, it's a callback, that's like better than a regular joke because I get to go, 'Ahhhh! She did it again, remember that!!!'

[Merlyn]

I see the 1v1 has begun, but what I really want to know is if I can trade my 7 million from hellbooks for 7 million goats

not sure how I missed this but trying to get goats at a rate of 1 goat per dollar is OUTRAGEOUS.

dont be jelly bc you picked the one goat and I'm going for maximum goat value

[Merlyn]

honestly im really torn SNIP

This was an amazing summation, I pretty much agree with every point. Okay, I'm on the enchant train, lets jump into the void together, let's do it for the goats!

VOTE: Enchant

[Merlyn]

Time to claim, I'm really garlic bread, I have an incredible koba impression

[Merlyn]

Fine you caught me, I'm actually a Destructible Crumpet. It's a partner role to hellbooks

[Merlyn]

GG Shea and Baltar!!! Shea you were AMAZING, you deserved this win! It was such a blast playing with you, hope we get to do it again in a whole game. Plus 10 to the Hellbooks Appreciation Thread.

Town, I'm sorry and the next order of garlic bread is on me

[Merlyn]

Ausuka the flavor was FANTASTIC, I had fits of giggles over the posts. Also thank you for being a good mod!
