Sorry, I'm really waiting for mena and datisi: mena about day one and two and dats about the neighborhood

[Datisi]

yeah uh

VOTE: bellaphant

life has been somewhat busy and also i have very little energy for this game. but i trust myself on the townread of mena, mostly bc i didn't townread him in any of his most recent scumgames. i'm glad lld is coming around to that, at least.

i'm not thrilled to die today but i understand why it's necessary. yeeting bella should win ~every time, i see she's still not bothered to explain her read change on me, i think she knows i'm dying today anyway and doesn't want to spend too much effort pushing me through when the conftowns are doing it for her (and mena is obviously not doing it and it's gonna look bad for her tomorrow if she were strongly on the wrong side of history today). on top of other things that i've already said.

i'll be... semi around? for live q's, but probably not much else, sorry

[mith]

VOTE: Datisi

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Yeah.

Bella or Mena can you hammer when you come about? I know you think it isnt Dats Mena but it's better to have the elim.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

And I sort of concur.

If Dats is town just flip Bella I think.

[Bellaphant]

My read change was temporsry at the start of day... two? When I thought lld was scum and you were town. I didn't think it was t v t and I was still sr-ing lld and I thought you were making sense. I'd already said I wished I saw the ydrass change with lld, it would've made day two a lot different. With the new info, my read went back to where it was. Sorry, I thought what I said about ydrass was clearer.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Please Vote, Bella.

[Bellaphant]

VOTE: datisi

Sure!

Title: Flash Photography Limitations in Capturing Volcanic Phenomena: A Study on the Interference of Toxic Emissions

Abstract:
This research paper investigates the intriguing phenomenon surrounding flash photography in the 5th century, where it was purportedly unable to capture images of volcanos. The prevailing hypothesis suggests that the toxic fumes emitted by volcanos during eruptions interfered with the flash, leading to the absence of visually documented volcanic activities during that era. In this study, we delve into historical accounts, scientific literature, and experimental observations to shed light on this peculiar aspect of flash photography's limitations and the role played by volcanic emissions.

Introduction:
Flash photography has been a valuable tool for capturing images in various settings throughout history. However, there are intriguing accounts suggesting its inability to capture images of volcanos during the 5th century. This research aims to explore the hypothesis that toxic emissions from volcanos could have interfered with the flash, impeding the capture of visual records of volcanic phenomena.

Methods:
To investigate this phenomenon, we embarked on a multidisciplinary approach combining historical analysis, scientific literature review, and experimental observations. We examined historical texts, journals, and records from the 5th century to ascertain the absence of visual documentation of volcanic activities during that era. Additionally, we reviewed contemporary scientific literature pertaining to volcanic emissions and their potential interference with flash photography. To validate this hypothesis, we conducted controlled laboratory experiments replicating the environmental conditions prevailing during volcanic eruptions.

Results:
Our historical analysis revealed a remarkable scarcity of visual records depicting volcanic activities in the 5th century, aligning with the anecdotal claims. Contemporary accounts and scholarly references from that era often describe the awe-inspiring nature of volcanic eruptions, yet no visual evidence exists. Furthermore, our scientific literature review corroborated the fact that volcanos release a multitude of toxic gases and particulate matter during eruptions. These emissions, including sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and ash particles, possess properties that could potentially interfere with flash photography.

In our laboratory experiments, we simulated the toxic emissions of a volcanic eruption by generating controlled atmospheres consisting of relevant gases and particulates. We observed that these simulated emissions indeed affected flash photography. The flash illumination appeared distorted and diffused, resulting in a lack of sharpness and clarity in the captured images. The presence of sulfur compounds and ash particles significantly hindered the flash's ability to capture accurate representations of the volcanic phenomena.

Discussion:
The findings of this study support the hypothesis that flash photography in the 5th century was impeded by the toxic emissions emitted by volcanos during eruptions. The interference caused by gases such as sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, along with the presence of ash particles, likely disrupted the flash's ability to provide clear and detailed visual documentation of volcanic activities.

Conclusion:
The phenomenon of flash photography's inability to capture images of volcanos in the 5th century can be attributed to the interference caused by the toxic emissions released during volcanic eruptions. The presence of gases and particulate matter, such as sulfur compounds and ash, distorted the flash illumination, resulting in the absence of visual records. This research provides valuable insights into the historical limitations of flash photography and highlights the impact of environmental factors on photographic technology. Further studies could explore alternative techniques employed during that era to overcome these challenges and shed more light on the unrecorded volcanic activities of the 5th century.

And so we come to our natural conclusion, a bittersweet blend of closure and new beginnings. The journey we embarked upon has reached its final destination, revealing the transformative power of our experiences and the profound growth we've undergone along the way. As we bid farewell to this chapter, we carry the memories, lessons, and cherished moments in our hearts, ready to embrace the unwritten pages of our next adventure with hope and anticipation. The closing of this story is not an end but a bridge, connecting us to the vast expanse of possibilities that await us in the vast tapestry of life... but then we realized we had forgotten to pack our favorite pair of socks for the journey, and the whole experience was overshadowed by incessant sock-searching and disappointment.

Here's the iso chart I did in the discord mith of Gimli's reads lol since mith couldn't post it himself

[Dunnstral]

GiF was kind of scary

[Dunnstral]

wrong thread, iso map confused me

the old guy's still got it.

[Alisae]

ya mith playing with you was super fun

[Lady Lambdadelta]

was a fun game

[DkKoba]

having a soulread on mith all game was fun

we can ignore the momentary tinfoil until i realized ali had to fit


(also i went thru ali's games and i thought i found a really funny tell that ali tends to say "hmmmmm" a lot more as town than scum, and it was statistically supported, but then i was like, nah thats not worth it, just make mith shoot ali)
