Micro 1091 - Prism v. 1L Year [Game Over]

[Bell]

Hedging is fine.
I almost never (get it?) say things in absolutes.

[Meuh]

sorry to hear about COVID Bell :/ rest and take care of yourself

I am getting townvibes from Ydrasse - I've played a handful of games with her as both alignments and I've noticed a pattern where she acts noticeably more vibey and carefree as scum, like she plays in a manner to convince everyone that she's decidedly

not

experiencing any of the pressure or anxiety that comes with Being Mafia. whereas here she's being pretty candid about feeling a possible thread vibe against her, Mesh's hedgey post making her "antsy", etc. It comes across being self-conscious about her standing in the town in a way that I think scum!Ydra would generally tend to hide.

I was kinda wary of her opening for this exact reason, like 138 feels like something she'd post as scum, but the more anxious energy of her page 11/12 posts feels genuine to me.

True!

I know, I was just poking fun

[Bell]

I hope you aren’t scum here Meuh,
You’re really nailing that easy to get along with archetype.

[Meuh]

I already rolled scum 3 times this year, so the mafia gods will compensate by making me town for the rest of the year

You know who DOES feel like they're just going through the motions? GuiltyLion.

I do think this is a general quirk of the way he plays, but he feels especially stiff here I guess?
Like compared to New Year Dance Party (viewtopic.php?sid=&f=56&t=90239&user_select%5B%5D=26515), his posting here feels cleaner in a way I don't feel good about; could partially be justified by the contrast in game tone and him not being 100% checked into that game, but I don't find that fully satisfactory. Also 322 feels generally off (and TMI on Dunn being town maybe?), like I read this post and he presents this questioning of Dunn's alignment but I don't actually feel like this is something he reflected on, I don't buy the thought process.

I was going to say GL fits the mold of having posts that are unobjectionable to me but aren't particularly towny, but also was kind of maybe possibly hoping to see more from him.

I do think Cakez is probably one of my top townreads actually, his burst on the previous page reads pretty genuine IMO.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

meuh scum clearly worried that the dynamic duo of stuffed animals are about to run roughshod over this game

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

actually bell is a stuffed animal too I'm upgrading us to a full masonry

[GuiltyLion]

It's not impossible if she felt threatened by cakez scumreading her and felt the need to push back on an accuser before she became a wagon - part of why I squinted at her accusing the game of shifting momentum toward her was that it felt like it could be an unconscious guilt thing - when you're scum you tend to perceive your actions as ore suspicious than they are and get worried that people are going to start pushing you and it felt like an exaggeration of reality.

Or she could just be a paranoid townie. I'm hardly committed to my current vote.

do you have any thoughts on what I said re: my impression of her scumgame being specifically crafted to appear carefree?

It's kinda odd you didn't comment on that at all, like what you are proposing as a scum explanation here is exactly the opposite of how Ydrasse plays as mafia in my experience

[GuiltyLion]

what is this stuff? just vote me if you feel something it's always weird to me when people like look for approval for their votes before placing them.

I was asking Dunn specifically because I am getting a weird vibe around him where he seems to be suspecting you but isn't voting you (or voting at all, for that matter).

I don't need his approval to vote you lol you misunderstand my post completely if you think that's what I was asking for

[GuiltyLion]

I have a thought on 335 but I'm gonna wait for Ydrasse to potentially respond / address the post first

mm I was conftown that game and burning out and didn't try very hard

I need to go check to confirm but I vaguely recall you mistakenly scumreading me for similar reasons in Eurybia's curse

No, I don't really have anything to say abut it. You're overestimating the extent to which I believe in this read. (I know my vote is on her. I would unvote if someone else voted her).

Okay I believe this

[GuiltyLion]

yah Meuh I think you should reread my ISO and yours in Eurybia's again, I was just perusing through it and it feels like you were getting similar vibes there, and I'm curious if you agree or if there's still a difference in your mind

[SirCakez]

How would GL voting you if you were town be a productive use of anyone’s time.

that was not the point of that, I was trying to see the motivation behind those posts because it felt weird to me

[GuiltyLion]

catboi why are you feeling kinda passive this game?

there's been a few moments where you've said you're waiting for more or uncertain of reads and I don't remember you being this hands off last time we played together

It's by design, I'm experimenting.Surprised you were the first to comment on it. I'm trying to go with the flow more and see how it works.

[GuiltyLion]

what prompted the decision to experiment in this game?

[catboi]

what prompted the decision to experiment in this game?

I felt like trying to be a leader every game wasn't working well so I'd hang back more. Some reflection on getting too confirmation biased by trying to force my view onto the game.

That is very roundabout.

I interpreted this more as a machismo, face me bro type thing.
