Open 913 - This Game Started as an April Fools' Joke - Day 4

[Cee Mirage]

hi i am a mirage so all votes on me are actually on light_ganski

[Cee Mirage]

now that i have ensured everyone is going to vote me asap

@mod: can you clarify whether the lovely rule 29 means we will not find out during the game who was voting for whom

like exactly info are we going to get after an elimination, do we just see a flip? do we get any vote count, with or without names?

[Cee Mirage]

also Elements, why not just use a vote tag, lol

i don't think it's gonna break anything

[Cee Mirage]

oof

that's gonna make accountability harder to track for sure

[Cee Mirage]

maybe if we're lucky we rolled 7 cs

[Cee Mirage]

sure it's a .00017 chance, but i want to believe

[Cee Mirage]

i am not going to make the mod answer what she would do if she actually rolled an undefined setup like 7 cs though

[Cee Mirage]

why

[Cee Mirage]

why is Elements making excuses for awesomeming?

[Cee Mirage]

cool, i found two already

i'm so good at this

[Cee Mirage]

hi i am a mirage so all votes on me are actually on light_ganski

boop why always me

i am sad that you and experience didn't go make accounts called Cee and Mirage so we could have like half the game sharing names

and why would we wait until afterward to say who we're intending to vote

[Cee Mirage]

well you apparently agree with light

why would we not declare our voting intent before night ends

normal play allows for a claim, so i think we should try to figure out who is going to be voted out in the day before it happens

would suck if we just voted out all our power roles when we could avoid it

[Cee Mirage]

We could just vote like normal during Night and I can try to do unofficial vote counts or something

yeah, exactly

[Cee Mirage]

wow, i sign up for a joke setup with a joke account and other people want to play more like a joke than me

i am a failure

[Cee Mirage]

i'm sorry, i was bored

i blame how long it took for the game to start, i started actually thinking a bit about things

[Cee Mirage]

Cee Mirage is a town’t

did you realize i said something that seemed like i might suspect you and figure you should say this to make me stop?

[Cee Mirage]

There's good reason to try to over-hammer in the nights as that will prevent scum from changing the lim target compared to if we end up with wagons of say 7 v 6 and scum switch from who they've promised to vote. Having extra votes on the main wagon will weaken the ability to perform vote count analysis but I think that is pretty borked in this game anyhow.

good point, maybe optimally we all agree to vote whoever had the most votes at the end of the phase

and then scum pretend they counted wrong if anything weird with the flip happened

Would be nice if whenever people 'vote' they provide an update themselves rather than one person doing all the work.

so who wants to go figure out how to use a vote counter tool??

I agree. In this set up pseudovotes are like democracy, the worst form government aside from all the alternatives.

you're saying this in Leonard Nimoy's voice, right?

[Cee Mirage]

Cee Mirage is a town’t

did you realize i said something that seemed like i might suspect you and figure you should say this to make me stop?

of course

oh

fine then

[Cee Mirage]

if we don't talk about votes at all then Mafia have free reign to just all vote together every time, yeah

which is obviously a significant detriment to town

[Cee Mirage]

it's okay, i got this, trust me

just do what i say

everything will be fine

[Cee Mirage]

VOTE: Titus

[Cee Mirage]

who's the best Power Ranger?

[Cee Mirage]

wow, someone clearly has a guilty conscience

[Cee Mirage]

yay, Ranger is being summoned!

in. Apologies for the absence, everyone. I've unexpectedly found myself quite busy the last few days, however I now have a brief while in which I shall catch up on what's occurred thus far.

wow, cool catchup, Ranger!!! i feel so enlightened now!

[Cee Mirage]

i hope they make more sense

or actually maybe i hope they make less sense

[Cee Mirage]

experience black awesomeming halfasleep towns.

I'm kind of perturbed that you implied you didn't have many reads in 112, but developed these reads after 3/4 people on this list just said they were leaning town on you

Why is halfasleep town?

Spoiler:

No no no! Not a good idea.

If I'm a vig, I'm shooting Moros
Goodnight

good idea.

this feels like towny reaction

Moros is giving me gut town pings as well. I think I could be slightly biased due to him agreeing with me about not having reads though

Been mostly awol this weekend but catching up now and I like this post, because this seems like a reason for suspecting someone which holds up in this format of game.

huh, i had to read her post a few times here to figure out what the point was but i think i got it now

she's saying it's suspicious for Moros to go from no reads to multiple townreads 12 hours later, after most of the people Moros townreads had said they townread Moros

this feels a little on the nose to be a scum tactic to me though

like do scum really just go "ok 3 people townread me so i'm gonna go townread them all back"

[Cee Mirage]

i've been having back and forth thoughts about CSF's alignment but at the moment i'm feeling a scenario where Moros is town and experience or imaginality is scum using this argument of hers to shade Moros

which would make CSF very unlikely to be scum with either of them if Moros is indeed town

and the two of them probably not scum together either

[Cee Mirage]

nooooooo

how can this be??

[Cee Mirage]

Daisy is scummy coz she hasn't town told yet

Daisy is scummy coz she hasn't town told yet

I feel like Daisy has been towny with trying to get the ball rolling on this game

Back during the pandemic one of Daisy's biggest red tells was trying day one so whenever she tries day one I point it out

changed from these ^^

You might have to sit down for this one Daisy, but those were in fact not real reads

which reads? the scumreads? all of them? I don't understand what you think about Daisy at this point or if you even have a read at all there

[Cee Mirage]

drew is memeing but i have a feeling i prolly shouldn't take that too seriously. i forgot about light too she said one of my comments pinged her but never got back to it (tho she's said she's tired so taking that at face value it's NAI)

what makes you say Drew's memeing, seems like he's done some questioning as well

and what would Drew memeing mean to you about his alignment, idk what conclusion you'd come to if you did "take that too seriously"

[Cee Mirage]

Daisy is trying so hard that I think we can just townbin her for now

i agree

[Cee Mirage]

If I'm a vig, I'm shooting Moros
Goodnight

good idea.

this feels like towny reaction

counterpoint it doesn't

performatively not caring about a threat is sus

i can see the reaction possibly being like that yeah

i can also see it being other things, like not actually believing that Elements was actually making a real threat

what vig calls their shot on like page 5 after all, lol?

[Cee Mirage]

wow, cool catchup, Ranger!!! i feel so enlightened now!

cee mirage ik you are imitating ranger but is there any actual thought behind your lists beyond that because they seem pretty random

not really, especially after the first page

i literally copy pasted stuff and moved a few things around with a pb&j in my other hand

[Cee Mirage]

Yeah I think ming is just scum

Lying about having reads doesn't feel like a joke to me and I think 269 was an attempt at some "I'm not scummy I was just joking" angle

what's the lie?

this conversation confuses me

[Cee Mirage]

{Cee}
{Drew}
{Black, Light, Black Ranger}
{CSF}
{Awesome}
{Moros}

you're too late, i already stole Ranger's shtick, you don't get to use it

also you really shouldn't announce that we're masons in your readlist like that, scary people might notice

[Cee Mirage]

omg i just looked at the activity overview and realized i have as many posts as Black

how the hell did i do that

[Cee Mirage]

oh it's also 1 1/2 days until the night is over

and i have only a vague impression of who might end up with the most votes

i'm almost tempted to do a vote count

[Cee Mirage]

doesn't seem like many people are actually using votes, at any rate so i guess giving a vote count wouldn't even be all that helpful

ahem

[Cee Mirage]

but i may as well anyway since i ran the vc tool in the other browser

and i thought i was immune to slips like that

curse my desire for a vote count

[Cee Mirage]

i did not double check the tool, take it with a grain of salt because it definitely can have errors

[Cee Mirage]

oh look a pagetop

nobody look at the last page

[Cee Mirage]

VOTE: black ranger

Good vote

is it? cool, good to know

VOTE: Black Ranger

[Cee Mirage]

Black I don't think you ever answered me about what you see as ming lying

[Cee Mirage]

help how does Thomith pop up and immediately wonder the same thing as me when he doesn't have the context yet

[Cee Mirage]

you were really confident it was a lie before

what happened?

[Cee Mirage]

but I still don't understand what you're thinking the lie was

[Cee Mirage]

i don't think i'm happy with this gamestate

[Cee Mirage]

being exhausted and grumpy, obviously

[Cee Mirage]

brain is very much in "haha you want to figure out what people are thinking?! lol since when can you do

that

?!?" mode

[Cee Mirage]

somehow i feel even less happy with this gamestate

[Cee Mirage]

is Elements trying to act like she doesn't have anything to say to wifom us into thinking that scum wouldn't dare act like they have nothing to say after people are talking about voting for people who have nothing to say

[Cee Mirage]

hey i already said that wasn't allowed

[Cee Mirage]

is Black trying to dumbtell

like really there's missing hints and then there's MISSING HINTS

[Cee Mirage]

wow i can't believe you're making pointed comments about doing stuff when you haven't even read everything yourself

[Cee Mirage]

if you two are scum theatering at me like this, i do not appreciate it

[Cee Mirage]

i guess i could take it as a compliment that somehow the alt slip didn't even register as out of place???

confusion abounds

[Cee Mirage]

which reaction would that be

[Cee Mirage]

do you think it bothers Alianna that she doesn't get to just jump in to grab pagetop vote counts this game

[Cee Mirage]

which reaction would that be

it seems like cee was trying to shade me there and i don't like it

why do you think that's town for Black

[Cee Mirage]

which reaction would that be

it seems like cee was trying to shade me there and i don't like it

why do you think that's town for Black

I feel like she is more reactionary as town

wdym by reactionary

[Cee Mirage]

dang it, Black passed my post count

[Cee Mirage]

i wonder if i should try to do something about this

[Cee Mirage]

pretending like i can actually keep up with that might be funny

[Cee Mirage]

i've had a nap so maybe i could finally try to figure out why people are like 'blah blah ming is lying blah'

[Cee Mirage]

how did this person end up with ming as a nickname anyway

[Cee Mirage]

maybe we should actually call him 327

[Cee Mirage]

oh wow it just sunk in that scum get to make a nk before there's a vote

that might actually make for an interesting dynamic

[Cee Mirage]

oh no, more lies???

reminder it's like 11 hours to night deadline, might wanna speak up more if there's anything else you feel should be said

surpring that csr has sorta dropped off the radar a bit, i liked her early play tho

i've noticed that too, i have concerns about her

[Cee Mirage]

dang it, Black passed my post count

pretending like i can actually keep up with that might be funny

This made me lol

you know it's true though

[Cee Mirage]

I think Ming's frustration about getting pushed and not being able to play the game because of it reads a little townie. Or at least I can relate to the feeling of not wanting to play the game because of being pushed for meh reasons and I pretty much only get that feeling when I'm town. I think we should give him time to contribute without the weight of a wagon on him

interesting way of looking at what he's said

[Cee Mirage]

black ranger's ISO is a bit comical
It's very very detached from the game and I can't say it's towny
ive stuff to do rn but ill look into it in like aqn hour

quite

Not really. I've had this thought word for word as town:

I can play the game if you guys would stop making stupid attacks against me

oh yeah

guess that post didn't really make an impression on me bc it fit more with how i could see his actions

[Cee Mirage]

Cee can you remind me what your read on ming is

i haven't really been getting the same impression about that stuff being lies

just felt it could at least as easily just be flippant town

[Cee Mirage]

i can think you're town and still be confused by what you do

[Cee Mirage]

i think Drew might be scum btw

not getting the strong pinging yet at this point but it feels like a good bit of his play is more what I'd expect from him as scum

[Cee Mirage]

runs around in unlocked thread

[Cee Mirage]

hahaha the deadline has passed

[Cee Mirage]

anarchy!

[Cee Mirage]

there's so many people in this game who are going to be hard to sort

still hoping for 7c setup

[Cee Mirage]

or 7v for lulz

[Cee Mirage]

i refuse to acknowledge that those setups would probably be rerolled if the miniscule chance of them happening actually happened
