Micro 1060: Radiology Mafia [Game Over]

[Aisa]

1. I got caught up in a game of minesweeper and needed ot rest from it.

Eep, maybe I'm just dense, but I am still not sure if minesweeper is supposed to be a metaphor for something or if you were literally playing minesweeper the logic game?

2. It looked like Ausuka waited until someone unvoted marci to vote marci. That led me to thinking marci and ausuka might be partnered, and ausuka was trying to distance a bit.

Ok. My point was
First you said "I dislike Ausuka putting marci at E-1"
then it was pointed out that marci was not at E-1, and you said "I dislike Ausuka waiting for marci not to be at E-1 to vote there".

That's not always a problem, but the change of opinion was what I was hoping you would comment on :3

Nightmare scenario for me, only clear
I'm leaning towards one of herta/johnny rather than ausuka/aisa

...Being the only clear in 5p elo is the spice of life?

Spoiler: fun

One of my favourite teachers once told us something very similar to your previous sig (that imperfection is the spice of life) and it is to me still one of the most memorable things the man ever said.

Who would you vote between Herta and Johnny, Meg?

I'm leaning toward johnny at the moment

[MegAzumarill]

I'm really quite grumpy about the self-hammer, like. I get it, you felt the wagon wasn't fair, but. At least make scum put in the work to finish you off, give us something readable to work with.

Maintaining Radrat here is town.

VOTE: Herta

Reread his iso and it's really bad, so

HERTA SCUM LETS GOO

Are... are we all on the same page?

not rr and meg being scum buddies

I never really got the sense that town Marci was rereading the game in our last game. More effort to make reads and associatives isn't normally a bad thing, but this does seem different.

VOTE: JohnnyFarrar
It would really help if you could state one read with some motivation behind it. I know you posted this catch-up post, I'm looking for one consolidated stance.

Hey man, if i'm here I'm motivated. If you mean you want me to lead a wagon or something that's prolly not gonna happen, I tend to play psychology more than mafia and people don't like cases based on vibes. I try to be clear with who I vote and why tho.

Were you trying to say that marci is town here? What were you specifically trying to accomplish with this post?

The two of them pitched a fit at each other last game and they were both town, and Aussie in particular strikes me as someone who would be mindful of that. But they doubled down on it, which is hard to read.

Sorry that was spose to be marci. Fingers slipped.

Bruh there ain't no carrots about Marci?? How and who? Like, what?

I'm not getting town pings from anyone really except maybe marci, maybe ausuka. Maybe not ausuka. I don't know. It's lame but aisa's initial post day 1 still grates on me as does her answer to my question abt why she assumed I'm scum seemed over wrought and deflective or something. I can't recall for sure and can't be arsed to go look rn.

This is like a rambly word vomit that doesn't go anywhere, and I'm half on the "is this a bad response to pressure" and half on the "does scum even post this"

mafia thought he appeared competent; especially true if mafia didn't gather much suspicion

This is compelling

In the other hand I do feel like scum has trouble making this post, particularly the bolded feels like a genuine town thought

[Ausuka]

i kind of think that is +scum? like, it's definitely something town *could* think but it also seems like the kinda waffly stuff scum tend to love

[MegAzumarill]

I mean I feel like scum has ample room to leverage this observation that's just... not there.

[Ausuka]

i mean i don't think that post being a word vomit is something anyone was unaware of? yes, you can obviously press the point against herta, but i think it seems pretty likely for scum there to hedge so they can go against herta if it looks viable to do so but don't commit to pushing him

[MegAzumarill]

Of course it being directed at herta also gets into a mess with possible partner dynamics.

There's just, so little to read Johnny off of here. Herta is much more engaged in comparison but with such limited sample size both ways it's a hard call.

[Aisa]

I actually have almost exactly the same take as Meg! I like Johnny's posting

when

he is posting
I do think it's worrying that he keeps ignoring my question. My one past experience with town!him (which to be fair didn't last very long) was that he could sometimes miss a question but if nagged aggressively enough he'd eventually give you a reply. It's a bit dissatisfying this is all I have to go against him. Nothing in his play feels

incompatible

with being town, so I feel like all I can gauge is if this activity pattern is more scum-like.

Actually writing that out makes me think that it probably is. I feel like the marci elimination yesterday is a very recent reminder that not answering questions is not an ironclad scumtell, but maybe taking the chance is the right thing to do here :'(

[Aisa]

Ah, I actually want to mention this: maybe we should worry about Johnny going down a little too easily here? What do people think scum is likely to want in this gamestate? If scum are the right people they actually don't need to effort very hard here and have this in the bag.

Wait for it...
...
Yes, I'm here to discuss Meg possibly being the mastermind behind it all xx

[Aisa]

I'm actually pretty sure who I wanna vote though

Who were you thinking of?

[Ausuka]

i think scum might just like, also not care that much?

[Ausuka]

i mean fmpov the teams are like

meg and you are trying

herta and johnny don't post much as either alignment

idk if there's much to be gained by lack-of-resistance or whatever

it could be meg but eh i do not really see it

[MegAzumarill]

Drats foiled again

But what would Hiraki actually be that would (A) Warrant limited reveal mechanics on a town power role and (B) still be strong enough to solo carry town as the only power role.

I don't see a world that's a thing.

[Aisa]

What's limited reveal mechanics?

Drats

Lol

[MegAzumarill]

The fact we don't see what roles do, just names.

Would heavily nerf Hiraki assuming I'm scum and they are cop.

[Aisa]

But yeah, just to lull Meg into a false sense of security, I'll say that contingent on "limited reveal mechanics" turning out to actually make sense rather than a string of three random words, I have been convinced by their eloquent case to townread them.

(=yeah yeah sorry I'll stop pushing the vanity wagon and actually get back to business now. It would also be kind of nice if I could trust them to tell me why Aus is probably town)

P-edit: ah, thanks, that's actually a really darn convincing point!

[MegAzumarill]

I'm not really convinced on Ausuka being town here, I just think its more likely to hit scum within herta/johnny. I die tonight anyway so I'm really most concerned with hitting scum right today

[Aisa]

Sure, that makes sense I guess
Johnny does seem like the better option at the moment, but I will think about it a little more before voting, at least until tomorrow

[MegAzumarill]

Same here, want to hear what the two have to say

[Ircher]

Prodding JohnnyFarrar and Herta. They have until the end of day deadline to post before I seek a replacement.

Deadlines

This phase will end on September 9, 2022 8:00 PM CDT (GMT-5:00) or in (expired on 2022-09-09 20:00:00).

[Aisa]

Today's update is that I'm thinking maybe it just is our two lovely lurkers. We still have time for them to say something, so I will drop a vote tomorrow.

[Aisa]

But yeah, I've decided it is not a good idea to vote Ausuka atm. I still kinda want to vote Johnny more, but *deepens and hoarsens voice* I am very scary and very intimidating! I think you should still try your best to impress me, Herta.

I didn't get a prod from you.

I have no idea who scum is. I think Aisa is one. I'm not on board with the clear the Meg seems to think they has. I'm going to be an easy lim here most likely so sorry. I just don't feel this game right now, and I don't think anyone else does either.
