Mini 2321: Classic Commercials (Postgame)

[Roden]

What… happened?

I went to go see the new Godzilla movie (was a real return to form—highly recommend) and suddenly the gamestate has mutated into… this. Maybe we should stop talking for a minute and let everyone else catch up and say their pieces?

I think hearing everyone else’s thoughts could be really useful for both sorting and actually getting an elimination through.

It's intentional chaos and noise from scum.

Oh my gosh, top 3 movies of the year so good loved it

[Flavor Leaf]

I finally cared about human characters in a Godzilla movie

$15m budget?!?!?!

The cinematography!!

[gob]

I'll be seeing the movie this weekend. Heard so many great things.

Yeah, smart in theory of them to choose me.

I had a great case on Hu Tao, but they caught me while inebriated and had me talking about myself

Def covered my case up

[Bingle]

imo, bingle and i are decently synced up this game

Nah.

[Bingle]

I think we just lim Cakez here. If he's town, it's his fault. Not even really joking although many may take it as a joke.

No?

Cakez is pretty towny and this is a garbage take.

How so Bingle?

[Bingle]

im the best scum player maybe ever, so you wont be able to catch me.

Oh, are we telling jokes?

I know this really good one:

A horse walks into a bar, and the bartender groans in annoyance. He say "Oh, god, not this again."

The horse, understandably angered by the closed minded bartender says, "Now see here! I don't think..." and immediately vanishes.

You may not understand that joke without a little bit of clarification. You see, there's a famous French Philosopher named Rene Descartes. Descartes, among other things is known for positing the idea that "I doubt, therefore I am" or as it is sometimes mistranslated "I think, therefore I am." Now, I could have told you about Rene Descartes before I told you the joke, but that would be putting Descartes before De Horse.

[Bingle]

How so Bingle?

The immediate jump at FL on entry, the suspicion of you for buddying when clearly he could lean into your support if he was genuinely trying to lim FL as scum, the pandering to me while trying to lim the person I'd already explained was someone I have a really good track record at reading, the understanding that I am objectively the strongest this game.

All of these are pretty towny.

[Flavor Leaf]

Hu Tao sent Cakez to me as an olive branch hoping to disengage from their situation, and Gob kept the Leaf speak going

[Bingle]

Kind of seems like you built in an excuse when i flip town with the whole “i want to be right” stuff

This doesn't track, for me. Like, Kyo pretty clearly has put a lot of effort into this and without going through to check I can say it's fairly trustworthy that it's all true because it would be insanely easy to catch Kyo lying here. I have a pretty solid townread on Kyo based on the effort put into this tell, and suspecting this much effort on a tell that's predestined to ripcord out doesn't seem natural to me.

[Bingle]

i dont know if i believe it's accurate either.

I explicitly don't, FWIW.

VOTE: Naerys

Roden had this ping earlier, and I wasn't there. I got the ping in 477, and I can't explain why I think that, so maybe some pressure can help my read there.

I generally think that when I line up with a Roden ping pages later, it turns out to be right. We successfully got a strong town read on KittyTacky in a recent game collectively after we were both pushing Kitty prior. And we town read for kinda weak reasonings, but felt it strongly.

I think I'm interested in a Naerys wagon right now. Curious how gamestate evolves with this wrench.

I've had the pings, but I don't think it's a productive wagon, tbh, given the number of other options I'm interested in.

[Flavor Leaf]

Yeah, Naerys town

[Bingle]

I feel like if you were actually convinced it was me, you’d actually vote me—I think you’re hesitating because you’re trying to gauge Flavor’s reaction to you saying this before you commit to the vote.

This is quite literally the first Wiz post I thought was town indicative.

[Bingle]

@Roden/Bingle - thoughts on sheeping Hu Tao onto Wiz today?

No.

[Bingle]

RCEnigma/Bingle/Roden/Flavor

Noncommittal Hmm.

[Bingle]

Let’s do it

I win basically every town game I martyr myself

No.

I didnt really see much effort, but i am not saying i saw everything. I was basically also explaining my first read of the game after the fact with that post, now I have other shit going on. Your read on Cakez you seem confident in too and im willing to listen to you there.

[Bingle]

I actively fuck with my scum meta constantly to get people to think they know how to meta me, and then they get screwed over.

And yet, how many times have I been wrong when I soulread you?

btw, FL is town here, take it to the bank.

[Bingle]

Can you both stop arguing and vote cakes

You think this is arguing? Hell, they're basically flirting.

[Bingle]

So... I'm caught up and I have one more thing I have to post before I do the thing that makes the stuff happen.

Naerys asked me for a reads list, so:

Sorry, haven't had a whole lot of time to read recently, so this will have to do.

[Bingle]

I will note that I have been meaning to start the rabbit hole known as Terry Pratchet.

[Bingle]

Oh, and the thing.
