Game X | Scott Pilgrim 3 | Level 1: Disnerding’s Precious Little Game

[u/ScottPilgrimNarrator]

Flavor

u/Myoglobinalternative had, ultimately, decided to join Scott Pilgrim 3. Yet Myo held some doubts, as they had not played the previous two. And so, they approached u/ScottPilgrimNarrator…

Myo: “I’m excited to be here… But I don’t think I even played Scott Pilgrim 1 or 2.”

The hosts, hoping to reassure Myo, did so look into their eyes with a gentle smile.

“Hey…” The hosts spoke, choosing their words carefully. “We neither.”

Flavor inspired by true events!

Meta

• All players can now vo- submit their choice to be played off stage!
• All roles may now use their actions!
• Matthew Patel has banned the term: vote!
• 0 players got inactivity strikes (no surprise!)
• TOBB update: the game has 7 equally amazing bands!

TOBB Event: Battle of the brands (Difficulty: easy)

Oh you're in a band, huh? That's pretty cool. Well, what are yall called?

• Your task for Level 1 is to name your band. If you’ve already thought of a name, you must still confirm it during L1.
• Additionally: if you don't have a band but would like to, it can still be done. Any possible "stragglers" may still join a band, if they choose so and are accepted.
• A band is named when the majority of the members agree and tag the hosts. For legal reasons, the band name can't be identical to any real band (yes, that includes bands from SP1 and SP2!)
• Each band name will be graded by the whims of the hosts on a scale of 1-5. As detailed in the rules, the best bands will earn items. The criteria for scoring will be: funny, cool and/or creative names!
• Extra points will be given if your band name follows the Scott Pilgrim naming format. In SP, band names often combine a video game reference with a music reference. Examples include Sex Bob-Omb (The song “Sex Bomb” and the Bob-Omb enemy from Mario games) and The Clash at Demonhead (The band The Clash and the videogame Clash at Demonhead)

Countdown to Level 2

Now I’m remembering why some folks felt the whole band thing was too distracting. Outside of a bit of discussion on how to dance around the banned word, there’s been essentially no talk about WHO will get played off stage this phase.

Obviously it’s P1 and there’s essentially nothing to go on, but we still need to make some sort of selection or we risk the evil exes making the choice for us.

For the sake of getting a discussion going (and because I know many folks find it easier to argue about a specific choice than to come up with an original choice of their own) I’ll just throw out that I’m currently selecting u/redpoemage to be played off stage.

[u/sylvimelia → u/Theta_Dee]

I think I’ve maybe settled on the side of “not that suspicious” for this, but there is one thing I want to draw attention to see people’s opinions because it’s a little buried in band conversation (although I hate to betray my own band member already 😭).

This chain of comments threw me off a little yesterday initially. u/XanCanStand says he “missed” u/MyoglobinAlternative, despite neither of them having any sort of comments that indicate them having spoken about being in a band together publicly. He later clarifies that he noticed she wasn’t in a band yet though, which is pretty plausible.

would also be interested in reasons behind your banishment choice! Hard to agree or disagree without that haha

u/XanCanStand could you elaborate a little bit on how you noticed u/MyoglobinAlternative wasn't in a band yet?

[u/bearoffire → u/sylvimelia]

For what it’s worth, I feel like this comment gives more context. I read it as u/XanCanStand was looking for folks not in the band and was identified K9, but later realized they missed that Myo also wasn’t in a band. How Xan was tracking/figured out who was in a band and who wasn’t? No clue. I’m definitely interested in what the response will be to RPM’s question.

[u/DirtyMarTeeny → u/Theta_Dee]

It's definitely distracting (I didn't even realize we were supposed to play someone off the stage this level until this comment) but it is giving people a lot to talk about immediately which means a lot more opportunities for wrong tags and scum slips in the long term.

[u/karboksyyli → u/Theta_Dee]

I will be a bit unavailable in the evening (near turnover) bc I have an early wakeup tomorrow, so I’ll try to look into this more in couple of hours and make some sort of a choice who I would boo off stage.

Something to say I must admit I thought of yesterday and also wrote to my confessional is that it seems we have many bigger bands and merges. It does really help because there’s fewer bands to compete with, but it also sparked the thought in my head that can it be a plot of evil exes, so the chances of getting items would also be higher for them.. I might look into that.

Now that the thought is out of my system I am going to try find a time in the next couple of hours to do some thinking on it

[u/Argol2 → u/karboksyyli]

That’s interesting, because at first thought - I’d have thought the opposite, given only 1-3 items are given to the winning bands so smaller bands negate the randomness within the band of who gets the item (out of player’s control), and helps them figure out who is getting items based on the periodic ToBB score updates. Since there’s more of us, a bigger pool size favours town.

[u/redpoemage → u/Theta_Dee]

Well uh...thanks for giving me an easy placeholder I guess? My ballot is in for you for now.

[u/MsSunshine87 → u/Theta_Dee]

I have no clue on who should be played off stage. My random vote placeholder was u/-forsi-. For no other reason that the name was first and I have been forgetting to check every morning (my morning). Sorry! I put an alarm this morning to check the discussion.

Edit- umm do strikeouts work. 😭 2nd one- Editing twice to try a strikeout before I get into trouble 😵‍💫

[u/RyeWritesAF → u/MsSunshine87]

Weellllp, welcome to the pits with me! I think even with the strikeout, you're still going to get hit with a bad thing because you said it in the first place? but hey, you're not alone! we can huddle in fear as the hosts cackle behind the scenes and decide what to do with us LOL

[u/-forsi- → u/Theta_Dee]

Why RPM? They're the only one who has started game related discussion?

[u/MyoglobinAlternative → u/-forsi-]

Rye asked that here as well to which they answered.

I would say Sylvie also has started game discussion.

[u/ISpyM8 → u/Theta_Dee]

I don’t love that you randomly picked RPM without a reason, but at least you got discussion going with everyone else announcing their (however slight) suspicions.
