I am ready to post gifs here that I have no context for in the hopes that others will understand the references and find enjoyment in them!

Actually, I think I'll go with this avatar from Pedro's big selection.

With some "alterations" of course, as Stan would put it lol. :P

Pedro is secretly plotting the deaths of everyone who changes the avatars, though that one looks good, Fanto.

I think the 'unusual mechanics' will be related to players fusioning in some kind of way

Lol I thought Stan putting the behelit on pearl's face was a deliberate jojo reference
 
Gave up at season 3 because of the eratic release schedule, but enjoyed the show none the less and pretty interested to see whats been done flavour wise.

Here's hoping Lars isn't town alligned.
 
please elaborate
The following assumptions must be made:

1. Lars is an unredeemable jerk who lack any care for those who care about him (His parents, Sadie, Steven ect)
2. Lars's one goal in life is to get in with the cool kids

From these points we can see that Lars lacks any reason to be town aligned, having a goal seperate from all other townies and feeling no reason to help them due to being a massive arse. At best he'd be neutral aligned and at worst he'd think the gem nazis were cool and join them IDK.

Checked the wiki to see if I was misremembering his character and apparently now he's pink?!

Edit: And on second look a cape, why does he get the cool stuff!

Actually game related:
Really interesting line up, the only people I see who tend to drive town engagement are weemadarthur and sawneeks so I'm looking forward to see if anyone will try and take that kind of role.

The Last Airbender is actually a great movie

That's all an act though, even in S1 (Horror Club) it was shown that Lars is more than that kind of person.

I myself only started liking Lars in S5 so I'm not a huge fan of him, but I don't think that's a correct read of him early on.

I've always kinda seen Lars as a site of critique for several social norms. One of the really lovely things about the show is that they don't really let many norms sit, and Lars is one of those. Like Lars' struggle to just be himself. Lars and his parents. But just as they do with the concepts of family (especially when we see Steven as a baby, or when Steven's uncle appears), the showrunners really linger on some of these ideas instead of just hitting them with a hammer. Like you know from the start that the show is going to be about chosen families but just how much it's about chosen families develops over the entire run, and all the ways they find to investigate the idea feel pretty organic.

I do like the idea of a neutral Lars, but alas, that's not what this game has in store.

Which reminds me - I'm not super anti-spoiler in spec, but I would like to see spoilers here until at least Day 3 and then we can reassess as a group.

That sounds good to me.

Actually....since I'm in the spec chat, and I'm on Replacement List...should I be in here? lol. I asked for access for some goofy reason thinking I needed "spec" to see the game itself. If I need to get gone out of here, feel free to strip me of my view of this thread.

Did you not know? If you want to change that we can do that now, maybe, since game just started.

So, I decided to start watching some Steven Universe tonight...

I like it! Just finished the episode where Amethyst and Steven become tag-team wrestlers, good stuff lol.

Also, I'm feeling good about my decision to go with a Pearl avatar on here, she's legit.

YAY!!!!

Pearl's story has so much depth as the show goes on. Really, everyone does. It's pretty great how they develop everyone over time.
 
SU takes a while to get going, but once it does it really does.

Having fun following the game so far. Glad we were able to rope in a decent amount of newbies for this one :D

Yeah, I can tell there's a lot of room for character/story growth so I'm pretty interested to see where it goes.

Fair enough, I haven't seen any of the show for 3 years so I'll admit to not remembering much. I'll concede my feelings
For now...

This is definitely the most pleasant day 1 I've witnessed, hopefully the atmosphere stays that way once they start taking people out to lunch.

That probably also means I was too blatant in my design. :( But I think doublevoter is pretty obvious for Steven Universe with the fusions

here it's fine on the Black/Blue theme because the darks are soft and the lights, too. discord I still struggle with sometimes
i hate the red/green/yellow names. they seem to glow

Whoa, I didn't even know there were different themes on this site lol.

I just switched to the blue, though I wish it were more of a Chloe Blue...
 
We were doing so well with the community spotlight and then Monkey comes in and reveals she uses light theme to the entire forum jesus christ

It's heating up a bit more now at least.

I don't think I could predict yet where the final vote will land though even with Wee in the lead coming into the final hour of the day. She isn't going to be around at EoD so they'd just be offing her without any defense, that might cause people to want to switch it up. We'll see though.

So where are all the spec chat denizens at? I can't give any sick reads because I already know who the Scum team is. :(

Give me your sick reads, friends!

Then don't get spoiled :eyes:

Lunching wee was lame

I think one of saw or stan is scum, maybe

Reki lean town, saenima scum

I would go with stan this phase
 

weemadarthur

Mad as in angry, or mad as in crazy?
People arguing that I might know things about the source media are insane. In the game, I said I have never seen it, and said flavor arguments are dumb.

If you’re going to put words in my mouth, make them consistent with the in-game universe. It just ain’t diagetic.
 

Lone_Prodigy

Am I at 10 posts yet?
I would've used it later on, on my strongest scum read. Not that I would win an early TD but imagine if I chose a town PR?

They are off the rails with this flavor stuff now. I don’t know how they make these assumptions. (I’m not caught up if they’ve corrected yet.)
 

cabot

Why.
Nin is possibly scum but you can usually tell by pushing him. Someone needs to go for him.

Meatwad could be I feel more it's a mistaken Town.

Exo is town so far, he's done questionable behaviour like this before and I just can't see it as scum.

'have you learned nothing from <insert previous game here>?'

Of course not, silly!
 

cabot

Why.
I could see scum sneeks do a day 1 LP kill. Low info.

Also who did the massive post right after flip? That's always a scum tell

I’m not going to read the thread right now since I don’t have the ‘good humour’ points to tolerate it. I was just hoping for a bullet point synopsis.

Oh, well B-Dubs shot Meatwad with a Day Vig shot because he thought he was Scum. Turns out Meatwad and Saenima were Lovers.
 

saenima

Not Aeleus
Fun story. Asked Monkey to sub me out due to personal stuff, went to the thread to say sorry i had to go and bam! was already dead.

Nice job Dubs lol

But yeah lover chat didn't even have time to warm up :/

I had little time to actually read the thread but from what i saw this game was impenetrable. But right now i'm leaning scum on Saw and nin.

I don't know if this was handled in the reviews threads but I think someone double voting when they can't(or voting when they were muted) to prove a point through the gamerunner moderating them is unfair to the opposite team(whatever it is) and to the gamerunner themself

It’s a warn-able offense with a modkill on the second infraction currently. I think we’d have to specifically talk about it and call it out in the rules itself to change it at this point due to precedent.

cabot

Why.
That dubs vote is real lame.

Really bad vote. I'd be pushing chug or sneeks

Maybe Zeke because his play is annoying me
 

cabot

Why.
loki could possibly be scum.


Sneeks saying she'd consider Chug but conveniently saying she'd like to see zeke or oreo flip in her latest posts is bad.

Sneeks/Chugg would be my choice today.

Slightly scumreading Stan as well, he's toned down his usual aggression far too much and is being reasonable.

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
I think stan is very wrong on his sawneeks reasoning and that is precisely why I townread him

i mean come on, why put all that effort into posts that may not even happen.
Apparently you aren't the only one who thinks like this lol.
Reki said:
What I've been always scared about is putting a lot of effort in a big post overnight just to learn I was night-killed at day start.

I'd force everyone in spec chat to read it and comment as if they were actually playing.
For the record, this is what I have done when this has happened to me lol. Any huge pre-typed post I have gets posted in Spec and I expect everyone to read it and think about how good of an in-game post it would have been.

From the contenders Oreo is who I think is more likely town.

literally scum made themselves the wagons
and then pushed a great role to the top wagon along with another great role
