wowee

[Gamma Emerald]

I think it’ll be important to be clear about what choice the IC makes so if the game goes into the final stage the final IC can review all decisions to inform the final one

[Gamma Emerald]

@Auro
@furtiveglance

so they can see

Mentions don’t work here

[Gamma Emerald]

Mala’s townslip feels believable, intuition would suggest 1 mafia per thread and 2 unconf town, with the job being finding the mafia
I’m surprised she says I’m good at reading NM, I wouldn’t call myself the best at it. But I do think Galron will be an easy read.

I think the best way to sort people will be having them peruse the other threads and give thoughts as in your own thread you know what’s going on

[Gamma Emerald]

Auro is on my wavelength, that’s good

[Gamma Emerald]

This setup already feels quite fun and dynamic.

@Auro, I know you don't have much to go off so far, so I'll ask you a theoretical question. Considering that scum has daytalk, what kind of shenanigans would you pull as mafia to look unpaired? E.g. misspelling your partner's name, posing awkward questions to the town to make the two of you seem paired. Those 2 ideas were quite bad but you get the idea!

@Gamma Emerald, what do you make of Your Highness's early posting? Quite spirited, isn't it?

I’m assuming cross-thread quoting is fine
YH definitely seems eager! I will try to parse it a little better later.

[Gamma Emerald]

Well this thread is a bit of a ghost town

[Gamma Emerald]

I'm reading the other threads, I think Obscure and Nona1510 are the towns in the other threads because the other players are talking around each other suspiciously. Like Yume and hutmeil both talk to each very friendly like mafia bros. Bellaphant and Malakittens is not fighting and they posted around similar times. Sorry for bad English.

I think I can back calling Nona town in furtive’s thread

[Gamma Emerald]

@ furtive I do think I can probably read Mala okay but idk if I'd say it's meta that makes it that way
tbf I do kinda think bella not really going after mala for the slip thing might mean they're scum partners

NM, what is your take on the events of the other threads?

[Gamma Emerald]

I'm gonna find it comical if the mafia all just decided to not engage the other threads as much as possible
I feel bad for PD no matter what tho

[Gamma Emerald]

I wanna see YH post again but I'm inclined to pick him

[Gamma Emerald]

If you had to choose IC, basic town or mafia, which would you want to be? (with reasons pls)

posting this in here so folks don't have to read the other thread for it

[Gamma Emerald]

Yeah I’m definitely picking YH, I am just gonna wait to lock it in so I can help solve the other threads.

[Gamma Emerald]

VTs in this set-up should be focusing on towning it up in their own thread, not on commenting on threads they can't even post and interact with the players in

and here you are, doing neither of these things.
also, due to fixed POV, the only way to town up is to focus on other threads
there's also the scum motive of not having to fake uninformed perspective that makes it unappetizing to address the other threads

[Gamma Emerald]

analyzing other threads as scum risks giving away buddies
by sticking to one thread the only task present is looking town
ofc you're not gonna do a good job of it more than likely

[Gamma Emerald]

I think this setup would be more interesting with a variable amount of scum, and it maybe plays a bit more like that Compromise game Boon came up with a while back

[Gamma Emerald]

I def think obscure is the town in thread 2

[Gamma Emerald]

Don’t believe you

[Gamma Emerald]

Like I have seen you be stiff as a board across 3 scum games, and you’re doing it again
Idk when you started phoning it in but you’re letting yourself down. Maybe you’d enjoy scum more if you tried harder?

Do better.

[Gamma Emerald]

Auro suggest I ask NM and Galron this but I'll field it to everyone:

Who is your read for VT in the other threads? Just give a random name if you haven't read them.

[Gamma Emerald]

Right now, I’m guessing YourHighness from your thread. Auro’s is a lot tougher but I still think obscure feels the most genuine, so I’m leaning there.

I hope that helps.

"everyone" here meant everyone in my thread but I applaud the hustle

[Gamma Emerald]

someone in one of the other threads, but you wouldn't know that would you?

[Gamma Emerald]

deal with it

[Gamma Emerald]

Nm is the reason why we can’t have nice things

It’s really hard to tell the obv scum between & galron.

Can I just be like they are both scum???!!??

FAAAAAKE

[Gamma Emerald]

Always. It’s gonna be the first game in a while he’s read me wrong. But this game is harder he can’t active engage with me like he normally does so

Washed Emerald perhaps?

rude ;-;

[Gamma Emerald]

I’m locking my pick in within like 12 hours

[Gamma Emerald]

ftr I *might* be wrong on NM but Galron is never town here

[Gamma Emerald]

Great stuff guys!

@Auro and Gamma: What do you think about my options?

nona feels the most likely to be town, I don't think bella and mala have much chance to be town there

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: Not_Mafia
YourHighness is much too quiet atp, so I'm gonna roll the dice on NM
