Millennium Theory - Anomalies Victorious

[Geewa]

okay so clearly my mental model is off

do you have a link to the game just for reference

@Zone_Q11

could you respond to Jarek’s P#225?

Done

The initial townbin I put Crybaby in (#78) has not expired, I feel pretty good about this. I think he wants the game to properly “start” and is pushing people to explain where they stand so he can draw lines.

re: Zone, unless I missed something, Crybaby does not want the boggle.

[Geewa]

i am skeptical that the game would be tricially breakable from a design POV but i thought it was worth going for the upside, if tutuu has done this sort of thing as scum before i’d be a lot more hesitant

[diafiasco]

Also I am treating this game as a brain warmup for finals (which is mountainous) so I’m concerning myself mostly with socials and letting everyone else figure out the mech because it’s too complex for me

usually in role madness paying too much attention to mechanics ends up inevitably being a trap

[Anonygoose]

FoL wolf meta is to be the first wolf to setup the other wolves for end game so you yourself don’t end game.

Wolves aren’t competing against town d1 they are competing against each other to make sure they don’t have to play the entire game.

Once you unlock this simple fact everything comes into place

[diafiasco]

Gummy is approaching locktown status for me but I don’t want to articulate why since it would impact how she’s playing. I will informally throw a D1 shield on her

About to finish my lunch break and enter my sekiro break and then have a nap and then do some work so will post less

@Arctic

This is how I feel about the Leafia situation

I get the logic behind this, what do you think about Guava doing same thing?

[diafiasco]

Continuing to click around, I’ll townbin Anonygoose for mindmelding with me here, and townbin Daeron off vibes. That’s four town bins that’s pretty good let’s see where the rest are

[Frostwolf103]

Are you the only person who think that way? I might have to check it myself

[diafiasco]

No clue I have just played with gummy a whole lot

[Zone_Q11]

@Arctic

okay but you conveniently ignored the main part about her being town
like look at what she has posted this game and tell me why she can’t be the wolf that benefits from getting this ability
is she less able to use it than some other people as a wolf? maybe. is she polarized? also maybe, but you and zone seem to be trusting her inherently for no reason which is really throwing me

IDK about Daeron, but my trust comes from those “maybes”. You undervalue [the things that I value].

Off-topic: If there’s something that throws me off, then it would be your trust on Geewa. I don’t have him as scumread, but you for whatever reason seem to be upset at me in P#343, when you saw me not giving Geewa even the smallest bit of townlean.

@Arctic

That’s not really an argument to choose her when we lose the utility by giving it to a wolf, even if we catch her later

???
That argument is literally applicable to tutuu as well.

Arctic, who do you think should get the Mind Boggle?

Oh?

[Frostwolf103]

Nah all good, I had a hunch gummy got pocketed by someone, I could be wrong.

[Zone_Q11]

@Frostwolf103

You have experience playing with me last time

Bud. I don’t know if you remember, but I have the worst memory out of all FoL’ers. The me from last time might as well have been a different person.

@Anonygoose

Think jareks opening posts were objectively awful

Please elaborate. (No, really. I have forgotten why I townread Jarek.)

@Arctic

I don’t know guys but this entire situation just feels off to me lol. It reminds me of the day 1 mechanic in anni over on MU which allowed for players to vote for one player to become immune to death until after ITAs were over on day 2. And the choice for that target was stifled by people echo chambering each other to choose alexa just because she always dies on night one. Rather than choosing someone who people actually thought was town. I was worried about this and so were a few others, and I myself posited that while alexa does die a lot, she wasn’t actually towny and it’s probably a mistake to vote her. But I wasn’t towny enough myself to get people to vote for me or to get someone I townread voted. So she ended up getting it and was mafia

This is how I feel about the Leafia situation and the mechanic we are voting for in this game. There are a lot of parallels. We are voting Leafia for an OOG reason (she won’t be able to use whatever buff she gets very well as a wolf - the equivalent in anni being “alexa dies n1 a lot as town”) which is also silly because she will have a wolf team to discuss actions with. We aren’t voting someone we actually think is town. It doesn’t matter if we catch a wolf we vote in with this later because the damage we know of will stem from not getting the utility of putting it on a villager, not not killing the wolf on a later date. And I think the alternative - tutuu - is in my position in that game with respect to not being towny enough but knowing he’d be the better choice

and yes i am just assuming tutuu is town here, but if i have to choose between two people i don’t townread i am choosing the one who says they will be able to gain a mechanical benefit from it

1. Wallpost, ew.
2. Get me out of your “we”. You don’t townread Leafia; I do. I don’t townread tutuu; you do.
3. There is no mechanical benefit to choosing tutuu over Leafia. Tutuu simply claimed he can do more with the Mind Boggle than others, when there is literally nothing besides himself that can back him up.

I’ve only played with Jarek twice, both times it was town (and one time he was IC), but Jarek’s socials are still bad and May should not be carrying water for them
