I'm floored Leblanc is back in this tbh. I'm floored Braska is in this, myself.

I don't like achievements and I don't care for dumb challenge runs in RPGs. I grinded a lot of levels to try and beat Balio and Sunder in Breath of Fire 3 but nothing too crazy. Gades 1 in Lufia 2 similarly, but he actually was beatable at mid-high 30s so it's not that bad especially with the Red Cores. I guess grinding levels in Disgaea to unlock Angel and Majin? *shrug Even then I'm small time. Why am I even posting here. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Game played out exactly like I thought it was going to as called in end-3. Like there are probably ways to play it better on my end, but it's more complicated than you're giving it credit for is all. One player, particularly one who made a big mistake earlier game to damage town credibility, can only influence so much in the end --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

(and specifically, ways to avoid negatively influencing town's perspective) I just think it's harder to do that than you think while still convincing people, particularly when there's a triangle of trust where one is likely the scum in that triangle. Like it's not really as simple as not trying to destroy someone with a flaming sword because that approach had already been tried to no avail earlier. That town would not be convinced to avoid the safe lynches I think doubting Ben was the major misplay and everything beyond that was just trying to damage control the credibility I had lost --- No problem!

The path of the game was obvious and the fact that no one was going to rock the boat was obvious. I tried disrupting the path in more traditional ways at 3 and 4 days from the end and it didn't work. I called every lynch from Lea till endgame at Lea with the possible exception of getting Cam/Lea in the wrong order (p sure I just grouped them). And I did that in topic as well so you can't say I am just making this up. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

I don't agree I had blinders on. You guys had reactions that made it very hard to just abandon the attack. The fact that I stayed on neither guess till the end showed I was able to reevaluate and not be blind about it. The big problem is you guys were using language that called me "scum" (in your case) and "obvious scum the whole game" (in SBell's case) neither of which were believable given the play you guys had exhibited until that point. I would say this is probably just bad habits coming to roost. "Wrong" and "scum" should not be used interchangeably, and it gave both of you the look of thrashing scum more than town I had guessed wrong on, to me. Ultimately I don't think those plays were mistakes, just the guesses were. You can say the execution was dodgy but I'm not sure other ways work better-- you can say they would but it's just as easy to imagine a world where I go a bit less hard and it's like "oh Lopen is just trying to spread suspicion on everyone. LYNCH" All I know is a play had to be made and I made it. *shrug --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Arguing about it ain't gonna cause a slip cause the reaction of "you're crazy" is gonna be the same across town or scum pretending to be town. No useful data to be gathered by arguing it even if you're right-- it's just trying to prove you're right at that point. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 07/22/19 3:35:27 PM #274 | I'm not sure I'm "heated" I just think the game is being fundamentally misrepresented. I'd do the same thing if someone said puns lost town the game too cause I mean there was a lot more at work there. Really the fundamental issue was that Puns + Ulti + SBell caused an inevitability in the final 3-4 in that it was going to be SBell or the 4th person being lynched without some risky, and more importantly correct, play from the 4th person. And it would be difficult for anyone to determine who the right scum of those three was because the overly safe way town was playing was not a way that was able to generate pressure on Ulti or Puns to slip easily. --- No problem!

| Lopen 07/22/19 12:48:55 PM #240 | I never said that. I only actually said I was the most useful based on the first two days which most of town can't actually claim they did anything useful those days, and that my talking from 3 on didn't actually "damage town" because there was nothing to damage. Like there was no constructive thought I was distracting from. You fill my part with a void and the lynch path is pretty much exactly the same, I guarantee it, because the cases on p much everyone but sheep (which I wasn't even the main one building that case after day 1) were really weak and just phoned in. They were all very safe lynches, not really based on in game actions but where the scans weren't, where the meta wasn't, etc etc. The best case you could make is that if I had not damaged my credibility by doubting Ben that I could have been more convincing and drove the town to actual good lynches, which hey, I'll accept, but that's still saying "you didn't play well enough to save town" more than "you caused town to lose" like some people are trying to spin it as. --- No problem!

You said it yourself you gave Ulti no attention whatsoever the final day-- with 36 more hours to think are you just trying to weigh whether it's SBell, me, or sheep, or are you actually considering Ulti? If it's just 36 more hours to determine which 2 of the three of us to lynch, we've already lost. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Because I saw that the obvious lynch path was Sheep -> Me. Who did you argue to lynch when you calmed down? Sheep. So what did I 'distract' from? If I pick Ulti instead of you I'm a hero. I picked wrong, so it's a "bad play" but no play is arguably even worse because you see the writing on the wall and do nothing. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 07/22/19 12:23:19 PM #226 | I agree that voting SBell was a mistake all things considered, but it was what let me figure out it was Ulti 100% (I wasn't voting SBell just for data, I really wasn't sure if it was him or Ulti at that point but I put an early vote to test reactions-- Ulti voting me early makes a lot more sense if he's town because he has no reason to suspect SBell and he has no reason to think you're scum) and I'm sorry that SBell was so far not into that game that he was locked into countervoting. I agree that voting you was a mistake all things considered because you were town-- but I had to make that play against someone that day because I was 100% right that the game was being roadmapped. Like I hadn't figured out the game at that point and it was because town as a whole had no clue and was just going on the easy lynches for the sake of playing percentages that made it particularly difficult to figure the game out. If you or SBell were scum, which was viable to think at the time, those plays become good. Like it's easy to say I was distracting but if you remove my distraction I'm very skeptical the lynches don't end up exactly the same because I won no lynches, and there was basically no talk about stuff I was talking about anyway-- like if people actually say "hey the Tom theory is bad here's why" a lot sooner and look into it and reveal SBell is town confirmed (I blame not knowing the rules for not picking this up) a lot sooner then we move on, but I was generally ignored and people just mindlessly voted people who had no scans because they had no scans. There's just really no reason to give a benefit of a doubt to town there. It's just cool to make me out to be the bad guy because I was the only one who was trying to do anything but coast, but that's misrepresenting what the game was. --- No problem!

| Lopen 07/22/19 9:48:40 AM #218 | Meh Pez I think "choking bandwidth" can only be so damaging to town when town's bandwidth is nowhere close to the right track. Had Ulti recieved any suspicions whatsoever you'd have a point. Like you wanna say I was a net negative sure, but saying I was the most destructive just seems a bit hyperbolic. Like town was just sorta doing their own thing. There was no real bandwidth that had value. Everyone had their own theories and no one really went with others. So the "easy" lynches generally rose to the top. I think I was inconsequential to driving the thought process of town but I think most anyone would have been. --- No problem!

By original I meant that the Marvel movies are all adaptations of comic book stories, which to me precludes originality since it's the same story in a different format. I realize now that other people might judge originality by how original the comic story was so I should've worded that better. I'm not intimately familiar with Infinity War but as I understand it the MCU takes a lot of liberties with the source material. In most of the movies, really. --- No problem!

| Lopen 07/21/19 8:07:09 PM #66 | I just think a movie starting with the chips that far down and the path to the solution to the problem being ambiguous for that long is pretty original. Time travel in and of itself isn't a unique idea, you're right, but the way they did it was interesting and heavily drew on existing franchise lore to enhance it-- again you may chalk this up to originality of the MCU as a concept but I think Endgame is the big one that fully realizes the potential there. Like Endgame ain't anywhere near my favorite MCU movie but I think as far as the pathing of the plot and overall viewing experience goes it's fairly unique. Infinity War any originality comes from the ending, but that's worth a lot-- otherwise it's structured as pretty standard fare of buncha heroes team up to fight a big bad. It's true Endgame eventually gets there too but the path to get there in Endgame is way different than Infinity War's. Civil War is the most original of the lot though imo, all things considered.

| Lopen 07/21/19 7:27:27 PM #61 | I'd say by Avatar standards, which is the context of the originality comment, it's pretty original too. Avatar is a pretty version of a story that has been told many times. Like I wouldn't call a strength of Endgame "originality" or anything but I can't really think of any movies like it, either, so I'm not sure "not particularly original" is a fair assessment.

I guess you could call it similar to the likes of RotJ but I would call that a stretch. Most MCU movies I wouldn't call particularly original but there are a few there. Civil War and Infinity War/Endgame do get some points there. I guess you'd call that originality on the MCU's part but eh. Endgame more than any other movie in the MCU really uses that world building in a way not many movies do. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
