Mini 2167: Illicit Substances Mafia (Game Over!)

[Bell]

Is it better to be rejected or ignored.
Or is that the same thing.

Okay Morph I know muffin is smelly but what I asked for the reads list so it helps me get in the game?

I'd probably link you the posts in the iso that we made statements about our reads for you, lady the first.

Is this you actually asking?

It would be helpful to have something to go back and read after I'm done reading this romance novel yes. Thank you gentleman the sixth.

Can you elaborate on why this game appeared to be polar opposite? This seems to suggest that either I wasn't looking very genuine, that the type of actions were fundamentally different, or that there's just something tonally/stylistically that's different. Selfvoting in three way ExLo with a player openly scumreading me is a lot more bold than just saying "Yeah I don't have reads vote me" knowing the chance of it going through is small.

Specifically, the part that's opposite is that your play this game has been very reserved. Of course it's a small sample size, but I'm just working with what I've got. In that game, from a mod's eye view I could see that you were going to great lengths to appear genuine, whereas at the time of my post in this game you had posted tersely and sarcastically and hadn't really made any effort to look like you were doing something.

[Something_Smart]

Don't really like this post. It feels like putting in a lot more reasoning than really is needed for something that was so minor.

That feels pretty normal from what I know of Bell.

the sheer burning happiness at getting a town role pm after days of fearful anticipation would be readily apparent

heh

[zMuffinMan]

i will say that i considered you being giddy as one of the reasons i *might* be incorrect in my impression, but i still haven't seen anything town

[Secret Tunnel]

Even though they confused the fuck out of me I liked fferys approach to me

Both the initial pressure from not engaging her early like I used to and also I think she had no reason to give me space and could keep me on my back foot and likely get the vote from Bork/giffy

[Bell]

Can we get more votes on muffin. I’m pretty sure that will help me figure out if he’s good at being scum or if this is going to be eaay

[zMuffinMan]

to be clear, i think pretty much everything you've written so far has come across as forced. questions like 215 are a pretty good example of this, but just in general i think you're trying way too hard to be present rather than doing anything that seems town. i think some of your other questioning is 'fair', but not town-looking

and i don't know how you still don't have a town read on noddy lol, and i completely disagree with bork thinking you taking a 'nacho' approach to them now is a good sign

[Secret Tunnel]

I simultaneously am debating if there’s scum between morph and muffin or if I don’t like the people pushing that more

[Bell]

Define forced.

[zMuffinMan]

i mean i just gave you an example of a question that was forced

let's put it this way, i don't believe any answer that was given to that question was going to really tell them anything about something_smart and i don't think they actually thought it would so it just looks like they felt compelled to question something without even thinking about why it matters

which is a theme in a lot of their posts so far

also i think their initial suspicion on noddy was forced too, for a lot of the same reasons

[morph the cat]

he’s good at being scum

He is good at playing both alignments. That's not really the question you need to ask yourself, assume he is.

Secret fence sitter.

[Secret Tunnel]

It’s not really a secret you should know by now that both IV are very fencesitty and waffley

[Secret Tunnel]

Both iv and I

How does it feel being so wrong AND late to the party at the same time? There was a very clear reason why I (spayhalf) posted that question. Your lack of vision does not make a lack of intent on my part!

[zMuffinMan]

oh, the initial reach outs to me also felt pretty forced, like i dunno what that was about, but again, i was chalking this up to *maybe* just being giddy about the player list

[Bell]

Correct I do know that
But why mislead me with a secret tunnel if neither of you are gunna tunnel.

I wrote an entire damn RVS opened for you... I had a fucking flowchart and everything, but then nacho was a lazy bum and didn't get us results until much later. That's why I wanted to reach out.

Because I haven’t set the avatar For our avatar reference

Two lovers, forbidden from one another
A war divides their people
And a mountain divides them apart
Built a path to be together

Aww. That’s awesome.

[The Bulge]

Notsci, I wasn't trying to set up a role pm gotcha. I feel gross that one may have happened.

I'm sorry. I'm not getting much in the way of town notes from this encounter.

I'm going to pull a Nacho and try to let you go about the day without dogging your every post. Maybe you'll change my mind.

I don't like what this is framing. I don't know how genuine morph's back-off is (ftr I don't think that is at all what happened here) but the next two lines are kinda icky.

feigned apathy as a defense to one naked pressure vote isn't a good look

Don't like this post; don't know how you discern feigned apathy from disconcern; also am curious as to what you expect town to do here

-b

are you saying this reads to you as anything but theatre?

I can't in good faith say I have any thoughts so far. The votes on me are OK. I might as well throw some gas on the fire and see what happens.

Yep.

Same.

May I introduce myself to those who may not have their eyes able to see in such a sky, my name is Emperor Flavor Leaf, some may call me the Boonienator, aka Boonskiies, also known as I just made that up on the spot.

I am baiting scum to come at me right now, and I have a high force people to react style and a proven track record of catching scum.

Town will also likely come at me, but that’s the analysis part

IS THIS A BOONSKIIES CLAIM?????

I think Bulge is town.

off what post(s)?

Prism vote doesn't feel like scum and liked some of his stuff surrounding Plus. What 274 means will also be helpful towards my read.

i'll get to that eventually but do feel free to remind me

So I've had thoughts since Page 13 but wanted to give more time to see if I could get some more votes on me for reaction. 6 more pages and more than half the playerlist, it looks like this won't happen unless I just want to AFK even now that I have things to say. Kind of disappointing but there's a limit to how self-indulgent I can be. My thinking was that if I'm not going to be useful any other way, I might as well just see what happens if I played openly dismissive. Of the playerlist, I've only played with FL and I barely noticed him either time, meaning I couldn't really open the way I like to. I was really disappointed Morph didn't tag onto the vote given their previous interest, then realized they apparently want to sync their vote, but then still didn't swing it even when the other came around so alas.

Both Bulge and Ffery misinterpreted those posts, by the way. I was never bored/apathetic of the game. I was extremely interested and eager to see what would result.

I don't think I misinterpreted anything I think I called you out pretty clearly?

I wonder.

framing this boredom as a reaction test doesn't make it any less scummy
