Mini 2286: Legends of the Hidden Temple IV (Explorers Win!)

Avoiding embarrassment at all costs is the #1 reason I play mafia.

Would especially like to hear something more from Mega and duckling.

[Haschel Cedricson]

megazu is like, scum, right

Worstie are you okay with us dueling you+Meg?

I don't think you're scum with Meg but think Meg is scum.

worstie I need a response bestie.

This is a mood

[Gamma Emerald]

The second line is, specifically
I feel like for me I play mafia for social reasons since I’m starved of irl social fulfillment rn

[Ythan]

Flea, is this a fair summary of your thoughts of furtive?

What prompted this post?

[Cephrir]

And with your team. It's possible for both members of the team to be scumbuddies and generally an early tactic is often to not bring any light onto your buddies. The absence of you from his ISO screams louder than anything else there, and it caught my attention.

i was going to say something like "surely there are other pairs who aren't focused on each other" but then i realized there actually aren't

aisa's defense comes off townie but it's curious that it was posted from a motivation standpoint. why not let furtive fight his own battles

Would love to hear what you think the motivation might be

I'll be back later with chunkier thoughts

Still curious. I contemplated letting this go but then realised I'd look like a fool if I asked a bunch of questions without others answering them and since my primary motivator in life is avoiding embarrassment at all costs, well

Presumably it means you either townread him strongly and are imo playing badly by not letting him defend himself on the off chance you're wrong, or are partners.

[Cephrir]

People really wantiing to dig into my page 5 posts while missing the context it's page 5. (furtive)
But words are cheap of course I'll have a proper catchup tomorrow for the recent explosion of posts.

Just quoting this so it doesn't get lost among other stuff, and will continue doing so until a reply is given.

The first line is obviously facetious. I never embarass myself more than when I play mafia.

Yeah because neither one has given me any compelling reason yet to tr them.

I'm going to bed now. I think the worst should challenge the Orange Iguanas, and that votepool would do me for D1.

i actually have no impression of either of the iguanas so far and would be down for this

[the worst]

interesting. I feel like I've not picked up the energy of any of megazu's takes and when I tried to sort in the hood megazu was like *claps* refer to the main thread

what have they done in the main thread that's supposed to be interesting to you

it's like you're inside my head

Spoiler: std only nobody else open

I don't think you're scum with Meg but think Meg is scum.

i am less amenable to this plan simply because i think yume is town, suspect you are town, and have a low level of confidence on my ability to read megazu when megazu isn't really doing anything.

fine waiting for you to respond to this if you have ~reasons~ but i'd prefer firing on the iguanas then putting the squeeze on megazu aorn

[the worst]

i feel like other people are having more valuable interactions than i can really have rn but i'll bbl

Why is this?

i like to probe conversations but it felt like what was being talked about was more interesting than anything i was likely to produce so i went and did irl things instead

i'm like, quite wary of aisa right now, but i think the way flea aisa and furtive were corresponding was more interesting than me saying "i don't think i trust aisa" so kinda just left it. i think flea is seeing a variation of what i'm nervous about and i think the way furtive is interacting with the thread is proooobably coming from a place of having underdeveloped reads & over-relying on tone but i'm not really sure.

anything in particular motivate you to ask this & do you have a take on the flea/aisa/furtive dynamic?

[Gamma Emerald]

I think you’re an easier sort when you replace into games and was a bit bothered to see you opting to not provide content
wrt flea/furtive/Aisa I am becoming less suspicious of furtive more recently, I may think about Aisa a bit more though as I see her content in-thread as a bit odd. Flea I’m pretty solid about my TR on rn

[the worst]

probably be easier to read later too, i'm kind of out of the flow and can't remember how do day one

i think furtive is just furtiveposting

Most of Asia’s ISO is inoffensive on inspection but this feels weird. I don’t really try to make a big deal about whether or not I’m following up on questions despite it being a common misconception that lack of follow-up from me is scummy. This feels mildly self-conscious as a result.

?

[the worst]

Gamma is on my radar since posting that but am still struggling to recall anything Ythan has said. Do you have strong reads on the iguanas?

[Cephrir]

Not especially, the part that puzzles me is that you'd be down to challenge nullreads right now

Aisa’s posting is usually self-conscious in my experience so nia for her. I’d say.

My gut likes Ythan so far, nothing feels particularly agenday from her.

Gnight, love to know why you're thinking that in the morning and if you still stand by it.

Still waiting on this.

[Flea The Magician]

Yeh I do, I'd like to vote off Meg or GE primarily

Oops found it.
ngl I expected a lil more stubstance.

Why these two?

[Flea The Magician]

well I’ll wait for him to explicitly ask me before engaging that.

I am baffled by furtive's choice to not acknowledge this exchange

Like, gamma is supposedly one of your top suspects because of this unexplained action; I have set up an alley oop for you to get answers, and you're standing there checking out the bleachers

Ngl I'm a bit baffled by you trying to instigate between these two, why not ask for yourself?

[Flea The Magician]

i feel like furative's posts lack emotion and i don't know if that's just playstyle

Its playstyle, words are short, structure is statements only. Drives me nuts ngl and still trying to diffuse what I can from it myself.
