Alisae V Pine: Trees Apparently Make Good Treestumps

[Something_Smart]

Oh god if someone tries to push that Ank hid behind my slot I will literally shit a brick.

[mastina]

I think mastina would make that kill too.

No, I'd have killed Ank. (Which is why she was my protection.)
Nacho's not been playing recently as far as I know--whereas Ank has been. Ank is more in touch with the meta. Ank is writing (or maybe has written, haven't checked MD yet but she let me know about it) a guide which is basically "how to play town and not be shit at it". Nacho isn't. Nacho would be a kill based on the reputation of what he used to be, not the reputation of what he is RIGHT NOW. And I've learned not to kill people off of the reputation of what they used to be (e.g. not to kill DGB), and to instead kill off of the reputation of what they are right now in the current site meta.

Players who used to be good CAN still be good when returning--can. But just as often, they go from being awesome to really just being...kinda...mediocre.

Also, as a slot: UT the original holder of the slot wasn't a likely mason pick for Ali. Whereas Ankamius was, quite plausibly, a mason pick. Which meant that if Pine were going to shoot for a mason, Ank was the more likely target between the two.

oh that's been done already dw

[Aristophanes]

ftr Krazy you do know it's mechanically confirmed that Ank did not hide with MariaR right?

I mean, to you it is, but even if Ari believes your watch results I still don't see why he wouldn't take a look at Starry Night and at least think about what it means that she danced with Maria. Again, I'm not saying I think Ank checked Maria, I'm trying to figure out why Ari would go into 1083 specifically looking for crumbs and *not* come up with Maria lol. Like if he was just ruling it out because of your check then I would presume he would have said so because that's a deeper thought process than just ignoring how the dance works

TBH I looked at the game and trued to find a hider of sorts. I didn't actually read anything, even who was danced with because I figured I'd misread the crumb.

I'm also trying to be a more confident player I guess? It's not intentional really but seems like a new chapter in my play haha (if I keep it up that is).

[Aristophanes]

Hi Ari! \o/ How did you manage a read like that on a slot with only 10 posts?

=D

Weird interactions with caught scum and the hider possibility

What say you?

[mastina]

anyone who says they wouldn't make that kill is a liar. the second I saw the replacement announcement I figured I was still destined to miss out on playing with Nacho. Back to buissness work.

Nacho was obviously a fear-kill, and to be fair, it's my fault for not remembering that Pine is one of the few people who WILL make fear kills. Fear kills being kills based off of past reputation regardless of current competency (e.g. "We need to kill DGB because DGB is a legendary goddess of townplay" when DGB's not as good as she used to be--similar logic applies to Titus who was singlehandedly the reason why I protected Ank instead of the Skygazer slot because while people working off of Titus's reputation would say it was a trade-up, in my opinion it was a trade DOWN and it was for damn good reason that I changed my plans from protecting Skygazer to protecting Ank once Titus came in).

There's plenty of players who would be smart enough to NOT make fear kills, so no. Anyone saying they wouldn't kill Nacho isn't lying. Anyone who makes fear kills saying they wouldn't kill Nacho? Yeah THEY are lying. But not every scum does make fear-kills.

Thus is our bargain sealed.

Pops takes the Roleblocker fruit.

~Fixed tags. Jingle

That's pretty fucked up piney. It's cool though, I'll just take out more of your kind.

[Aristophanes]

Ohay a mastina wagon!
I'm down, but I'd like more info

VOTE: Aristophanes.
I said it yesterday will say it again today.
I was only going to vote one of Ari, Krazy, or jjh today.
And Aristophanes has earned it.

Ank crumbed Xof pretty obviously imo. Also I'm at daystart so if this has been said in the last 20 pages or if the subject has moved on then I apologize.

Ohay a mastina wagon! I'm down, but I'd like more info

The hider obviously hid behind Xof.
Who knows what killed them? I'm down for a mastina wagon!
...
COULD YOU BE SLIGHTLY MORE OBVIOUS ABOUT BEING SCUM

Vote: Aristophanes

NO

Pretty much, yes.

Welcome back mastina! We missed you

[popsofctown]

I'm sorry Formerfish I was hoping you'd get it.

MariaR is telling me it is probably poison anyway.

[Aristophanes]

Ooooo eat the poisons Pops! XD

[popsofctown]

Aristophanes you are making it hard to for me believe you are not a sapling I need to destroy my friend

[mastina]

super rushed ISO check I think she crumbed Mastina

Fuck this game. I am a bodyguard. I bodyguarded Ankamius last night.

bp vig bodyguard with a hood with pine, sure

The bulletproof vig with a hood with pine was painfully obviously a fucking joke.
There was a kernel of truth in that post--I expected Pine to have probably figured out that I was a protective, possibly even specifically a bodyguard because I was quite clearly, self-evidently, not playing with longevity in mind. The entirety of my play was heavily showing my hand that it was in my gameplan to die quickly. I knew I wasn't going to be living long if I did my job and my play reflected it heavily. So if Pine had an idea I wasn't planning on living long and if Pine had an idea I was a protective (and the focus on having townreads kinda gave that away), I expected him to figure out that I am a bodyguard.

So when I said I expected Pine to have figured out the bg, I meant it, but that was literally the only thing true in that post.

[Aristophanes]

Aristophanes you are making it hard to for me believe you are not a sapling I need to destroy my friend

You would really destroy a poor, helpless sapling? :O

[popsofctown]

While everyone watches me do it.

[mastina]

Chickadee
DGB
mastina
xofelf
Ari
there's your team

The only name in there I wouldn't vote is Chickadee.

Try again.

[Dannflor]

you would vote yourself

[mastina]

Mastina hasn't really impressed me yet this game.

Have you actually read my iso.

There's a few notable posts which nobody who comments on me remembers.

Nobody townreading me, nobody scumreading me, nobody nullreading me, has commented on anything I've done. And what I've done has not been jackshit. What I've done hasn't been nothing. I've done shit. Yet nobody with any sort of commentary on me, has commented on what I've done.

[mastina]

I feel like expecting her to be "impressive" in a way that's comprehensible isn't a great idea.

Expecting it isn't the greatest idea, sure.
But when it happens it shouldn't be ignored and I've pulled my fucking weight.

[mastina]

i feel null about all of these people. any suggestions on who i should feel more strongly about? i'll start with them.
mariar
firebringer
mastina
chennisden
popsofctown
Krazy
PenguinPower
Pink Ball
also have outdated townread on chickadee in particular which i'll be reevaluating

Have I mentioned that the worst is a scumread.

The BP vig thing put me in a confusing place in terms of setting up a barometer for you and reading you

Please don't open games that way if you want me to be able to interact with you instead of feeling like "either bodies are going to hit the floor or this slot will be about parsing claims to have been roleblocked so everything is overshadowed"
People can make fun of me for being gullible again, whatever, I don't care, but that is what I think is the cause of me drawing lots of blank about you.

[mastina]

i have no feelings about mastina at all.

And that's why you're scum.

[mastina]

I could probably catch up right now but by the time I finished I'd probably be late for work, so:

Skygazer/Titus
Dannflor
GreyIce
Katsuki
Chickadee
Formerfish

Pink Ball

MariaR
Gamma Emerald
Iconeum

Menalque

PenguinPower

chennisden

DrippingGoofBall
Firebringer
xofelf

popsofctown

the worst

jjh
Krazy
Aristophanes

This is about where I'm at right now.
Need to explain the positions of Chickadee, Formerfish, Gamma Emerald, Menalque, DGB (she might be too high), more on Firebringer, xofelf, more on pops, and if I've the time to spare, more on my stronger scumreads.

But for now...like I said. I'm going to be late for work unless I leave like...five minutes ago.
