Mass Effect 17er [Game Thread]

@Arapocalypse i assume you still think cuth is v? where do you wanna go toDay instead?

[ColonelLubriderm]

i don't know as much about wolf range in terms of behavior (insofar as we can discern any of that given the flips so far) as like emotional/posting range

and while i'm not saying that's by any means all of what people's reads hinge on i do think it plays into them to a certain extent, just like you all will probably start reconsidering your opinions of alignment the more words and thoughts i put into the thread

but i think the effect is exaggerated when it's not someone you're familiar with, and since monty's playstyle is... somewhat obscure in terms of overlap with most people, i think that aspect is something we're more prone to read into than we would be if his play was more

traditional

for lack of a better word

I don't agree for the reasons of the monty villa reads, at least for me.

I don't find it clearing for monte.

i think you lost me, sorry

if you don't know me

and then you see my high effort posts

you think wow he really is going above and beyond that proves some real engagement and dedication

but if you know me

you see my high effort posts and you're like hm cuth is posting more now

i’m with you on that part and how you’re mapping it onto monty’s uptick

where you’re losing me is the connection to monty’s alignment. you’re just saying you think we shouldn’t be v reading monty’s posts because them being better/more emotional/engaged/etc != them being more villagery for him in particular? i guess i just don’t get what you’re basing that on unless you’ve seen monty’s wolf game and know that he can make those posts as a wolf. because otherwise you’re kinda just speculating about what you think is and isn’t villagery for him without actually knowing, right?

[Hally]

i may just be completely misunderstanding you though

[Hally]

if someone else gets it and thinks they can explain it more clearly, feel free. i might just be dumb

i've seen monty's game as both alignments, we've played a fair number of times

it's pretty similar

thus why nobody really knows how to read him, see: visor at the start of this game

he sounds like he thinks things through as both alignments and yet as both alignments it's still usually hard to follow his train of thought (for me, at least)

again, in lieu of having read dolby stuff/hard things i can't say i've seen anything that i would be surprised if he did as either alignment

and i think people's improving opinions of him primarily coincided with him using more words than other people in the poe at that point were and i don't really think his posting, from what i saw, was outstanding in any meaningful way based on my experience

that said if you think it was with respect to what we know or guess of other people's alignments, i'm absolutely down to have that conversation when we get there for sure

[Maple]

So, VT?

[Hally]

stop, i’m hungry :P

[Cuthillius]

manti that picture is 4.5 times the height of my screen

and i can only see the very leftmost part of it

[Cuthillius]

ah there we go it's a preview now

and yes, why do you think i've been playing like this lol

[Maple]

Was hoping for something spicy

Like FBI agent

ah, thank you. i get it now. sorry, i just wasn’t sure if you were speaking from direct experience or extrapolating based on a general thing that wasn’t necessarily specific to monty and his range

lemme see if i can grab the posts where dolby talks about monty

[Maple]

We got, what, 2 safe kills left?

[Cuthillius]

saw this the other week on a bike ride

actually, can someone else quote them? just ctrl f “monty” in dolby’s iso?

sorry, it’s hard to do it on mobile because it doesn’t show the full posts in the search (i assume it does on desktop?)

[Hally]

yea i think it’s two misses until lylo

so either one mislunch and one vig miss or two mislunches and vig holsters

[Hally]

pretty

[Maple]

So

Manasi can't be wolf with bop or visor cause she'd try harder

Right?

I think anyone else is a coinflip in that regard

Is this stupid?

[Hally]

vig should always shoot tonight even if we miss right?

[Maple]

Monty w with someone with hero potential only?

[Maple]

Only if their confidence is = town's ability to hit or greater

[Hally]

why would she try harder if she was with visor/bop? wouldn’t she try less hard if anything because she knows they can carry and can possibly shield her if needed?

[Maple]

My experience with manasi is that she tries harder with good teams or ones she likes.

For example, she tried hard in a w rand with apoc

Wondering if this is good enough to make a rule tho, would like to hear bop and visor comment on this

[Hally]

cuth posted a sunset to distract me from trying to get him to solve

pretty slick, dude

[Hally]

a video of a cute animal would have worked longer though :P
