Micro 1073: Purgatory - Game Over!

[Doctor Drew]

Ok, the last game was Mini 2100 where I was a mason with BEF, and you were a mentor. I thought you were scum the whole game and BEF was trying to convince me that you could be town. I don't remember that game very well, and that's bc of out of game stuff.

The policy elim on you was a half-joke. Not a good joke, but also has some merit behind it. I don't think you should survive to ELO with me, if I get to there. But I also don't think I should survive to ELO anyways.

Ahhh ok, I do somewhat remember that game.

My style has changed a bit since then though, I feel like my town game has become a bit stronger in particular.

I still want Ranger dead fwiw

[Oclaxian Empire]

That's all I'm posting for the rest of tonight

[Ranger]

Ranger I can’t tell if their “reevaluation” of arko is legit or fabricated to deflect heat from their own position.

Spent a full 30 minutes pacing back and forth pondering it. (30 minutes is actually a lot; I usually need only 5-10.) I realize that thought likely hasn't been translated with nuance, if people still want clarification despite the new slot holder I can see if I can explain it better.

Their read list they post on each post has me curious. What's your take on that?

I remain not fond of Kowahbunga's slot. Their contributions are lackluster and lack depth. This not only felt like theater, but also lacking critical thought. Kowahbunga didn't engage

me

, and is avoiding doing so.

This just reeks of fake hunting.

Calling it 'hunting' is more generous than what I would say. :P

[Ranger]

P4

Skipped a bit ahead. P8

So that's skipping pages 5, 6, and 7?
6 I understand.
5 and 7 both start with plurality talk but transition into content later on.

My first reaction to skipping three pages was "this is suspect", but seeing the pages in question, I understand how someone would think it no big loss to skip them.

Bonus points; I've reignited my Oclaxian Empire scumread. I missed something before:

Yes it is, because we were an English major in college pre-COVID. That’s *what* English majors do: look at sentences and pick them apart.

How likely do you think it that an

English major

would have their wording be unclear? It implies they said exactly what they meant to say--and in doing so, revealed themselves scum.

[Ranger]

I'm liking Bella's posts.

The Ox/Ranger spat seems.....petty? I dunno, hope it gets fleshed out a bit in the next few pages......legit pings me as scum v scum.

This is a weird take. I'm not sure what alignment the weirdness is; gun to head, I'd say +scum.

{Aisa}
{Vanderscamp, AurorusVox, Bellaphant}
{Kowahbunga, BloodB0t, Doctor Drew}
{Oclaxian Empire}

p14.

[Ranger]

Bella's math derpiness seems genuine and towny to me, but I don't think Kowahbunga is +scum for SRing it. I didn't like 311 and 312 though.
I'm also feeling wary of Aisa but not sure if it's from the afterglow of chatgpt. Her vote on me certainly doesn't help. @Aisa can you say a little bit more about why you're SRing me?

Hate this post.


Aisa's 355 is very good.


Weirdly, 364 is reading as gut-town. I don't know why.

{Aisa}
{Vanderscamp, AurorusVox, Bellaphant}
{Doctor Drew}
{Kowahbunga, BloodB0t}
{Oclaxian Empire}

p15.

[Ranger]

{Aisa}
{Vanderscamp, AurorusVox, Bellaphant}
{Doctor Drew}
{Kowahbunga, BloodB0t}
{Oclaxian Empire}

I'm comfortable locktowning Aisa right now.

Vanderscamp's posts I don't think are scum.

Bellaphant's posts are good.

AurorusVox might be slightly too high tbh, but is around this strength; I like his posts and points, but he's not

as

town as Vanderscamp/Bellapant rn imo.

Doctor Drew is null. Some good, some bad. Will continue sorting there.

I'm not liking either of Kowahbunga or Bloodb0t, but actually I think the Kowahbunga scumread is slightly stronger.

So, updated reads:

{Aisa}
{Vanderscamp, Bellaphant}
{AurorusVox}
{Doctor Drew}
{Bloodb0t}
{Kowahbunga}
{Oclaxian Empire}

I'll vote any of bottom 4 right now (although ideally not Doctor Drew; he'd be a compromise vote).

[Doctor Drew]

I don't think this is ai from ox, I seem to remember this just being them. I think vander has the best take on what they were saying though.

What's weird is that it didn't make me feel more about arko.

Did you just read my post??

Oh, ya this was in the past lol.....carry on.

Getting a bit of a bad vibe on Aisa here on P5.....she started in rvs(nothing wrong with that), but has barely progressed out of it.

You know I definitely got my eye on you as well Aisa

Ranger, did you miss this?

And yes I skipped ahead in my commentary, never said I skipped reading game pages.

[Ranger]

Ranger, did you miss this?

Apparently.

Don't think it changes anything though.

You're still null.

[AurorusVox]

Sorry guys I’ve been skimming a bit

This is where I’m at quick and dirty reads list:

Vanders my strongest townread
I’m not seeing the scumread of Asia (what mix do you mean?)
I still like bloodbots posts
Ox I like at times but I’m finding hard to read, the policy lim “half joke” was eh…
Bella I’m null on, the townslip thing seems shifty but also quite clumsy for scum to do?
Ranger I could see as scum but also hardheaded townie who sticks to their guns
Kowah I didn’t like his “one post” attitude
Arko slot still my preferred lim

Would do kowah, would probably do ranger, would compromise on Bella if necessary to secure a lim

Tbh my townread on Asia is the main thing that’s swaying me away from Ranger…

[Bellaphant]

Hey, do you want to throw a few questions my way? You've kinda been filed in my head as 'kinda shares my reads' and I haven't massively examined that.

[Aisa]

In my head I wanna TR {Vanders, Ranger, Drew, Bella} + {myself}. Is that too much? That leaves {Oclaxian Empire, BloodB0t, Kowahbunga, AurorusVox} in the PoE. Yeah that's too far for this stage of the game, I'm gonna be looking for a townread to demote.

Sorry lemon, I know I said I TRed you earlier, there's some mixed stuff in your posting and I don't feel ready to TR you at the moment.

what mix do you mean?

I can flip, nearly at will, between viewing your posts as vibey town and random comments scum can easily fake. I don't know which of these worlds we live in.

Or maybe it's just my disarming charisma, that happens too

I mean it’s disarming for sure lol you make me want to read you as town

But it was more the deflecting of the question that tingled my citric juices. I suppose it depends if you answer it when you get to Serious Posting^TM

[...]

@ranger yeah the “decide”/“know” thing could be a slip but could it not also be in the context of “you’ve decided … to present ox as a scumread / arko as a townread … as scum”?

One thing that tingled my spidey senses a bit was this post, I think I took it especially hard that you said I was deflecting, lol.
I think this was also when I was in my hardcore "HoW dArE yOu QuEsTiOn RaNgEr" phase so anyone who disagreed with her automatically got -townpoints.

FWIW gun to my head I'm thinking you're town.

I'm pretty convinced that at least one of my townreads is wrong, I just don't know which yet.

[Bellaphant]

Can we get a VC? Because ranger was the leading wagon on... Monday, and I'm not sure where we are.

Lim pool is in kowah, Dr and ...very maybe bloodbot/AV, but least fav options. I don't feel qualified to read ranger but after hms mutiny, these early stale day one wagons don't give me good vibes.

[Aisa]

I think we'd all happily compromise on Kowahbunga if anyone so much as proposed the vote, and I think it would be a shame to elim someone who has just substituted in, but going easy on replace ins does not a game of mafia make, so
VOTE: Kowahbunga

Kowah wagon kinda bad tbh

But that’s mostly because I scumread Aisu and null read Bella

This.

Though I am probably higher on Bella than you.

But then I also think you are scum, so there's that lol.

VOTE: ranger

[Oclaxian Empire]

E-1 on ranger

[Oclaxian Empire]

Drew stop voting me pls and kill Ranger, kthx

[AurorusVox]

I’ll hammer Ranger before deadline

@mod just checking, in this setup even if no one hammers the lim still goes through? Is that what the wiki means “Compulsive plurality eliminations”?

[AurorusVox]

VOTE: kowah for now
I’m more sure of drew/kowah but if they’re not viable, rangers next on my list

PS I’m concerned that there are people who seem to agree with the scumread on arko, but no one else is pushing them?
