TM 2021: A normal roguelike

[The Bulge]

I can't recall a single thing this game that has made me think xofelf is town.

[Augustus Caesar]

Happy Birthday, Deas!

I haven't had the pleasure of playing with you before but I want you to know that I love your playstyle and really appreciate your presence in this game. You're a super chill and rational guy, and I even thought you were scummy for the lack of anger you showed when I was pushing you, but it just turns out you're a nice dude. I'd love to play with you again in future games after this one.

Have a good one!

[The Bulge]

for a sec I thought you were doing the selfhydra thing again

[Augustus Caesar]

Just don't touch Puff or Deas is all I ask to be sheeped on. Figure the others out somehow.

Anyway, vacation resumes.

pedit: maybe I'll bring that back lol

[The Bulge]

have you done team mafia before? how happy are you to be here? how much do you care about this game compared to most?

pedit - i like this avi, very crisp

[Augustus Caesar]

Me? I played last years and came in gimmick posting and got scumread for it lol. And then I started being stilted and awkward and was a wagon for most the day(as town). Things worked out though and we launched scum day 1 and day 2, and the final one day 6. I survived. I mostly had fun other than day 1.

I'm very happy to in this one and I've had loads of fun, it's just been a little stressful too recently knowing I'm the one kinda directing things and a lot of blame will be on me if I get this wrong. I do feel good about Creature but the what ifs are stressing me out

[The Bulge]

I can't recall a single thing this game that has made me think xofelf is town.

and none of the towncases are moving me in the slightest

[The Bulge]

K I'm doing the writeups now sorry guys.

I saw this tho so Imma help Hoctac out:

lol what, Reck hasn't been scum in 4 years

He was scum in MafiaSunny

lol holy shit I already forgot about this

God I got robbed by luckshit night actions

lol, reck was also scum in the geriatric game ari hosted last summer.

[The Bulge]

with dastisti

[The Bulge]

The town points were minor compared to the scummy stuff I found. I'll summarise why I think he's scum for you, Reck:

-Felt like he was faking analysis, for example, why he was talking about Datisi/peta having partnery stuff based on 4th vote rvs memes
-His reaction to Ydrasse when she voted him felt over the top and out of character for him
-The times he speaks about the beeboy slot sounds partnery <- this is the biggest reason by far
-Him wanting to back out of a 1v1 with you apparently, but that clearly not being his true intention in that post

big big big agree on all fronts especially the beeboy partner stuff. although his posting around the last time he was at e-1 was alright

[The Bulge]

D&D ran long today, sorry -- I will have time tomorrow to review Hectic's posts on Ari. And everything else.
Also Ari please answer my last question if you haven't yet

I'm honestly doubting my Reck read

which Reck read is that

The scumread I keep going back to. Iunno. I'm conflicted on you as noted in my readslist but team says town and thus I guess you're town.

I have posts from them now and will get them here but apparently I have a surprise dnd sesh myself so it may be tomorrow now

Oh, and:

-Bad faith scumcase on The Bulge

this too

[The Bulge]

those quotes are along for the ride I guess

I tagged them because I was also playing d&d saturday! I rolled a bugbear paly that's pretty dope and reliable so far.

[The Bulge]

Jingle, I didn't target Datisi last night because at the time I submitted my action I didn't realize the psych was already completely useless, for some reason I was thinking that there was a single scenario where I could still get a guilty, and I thought the likelihood of the kill not hitting me was low enough to not really care about who I was protecting. obviously a regrettable choice, yes, though if I didn't think I was going to be the kill, hectic would probably have been an ok target all the same.

[The Bulge]

I only remember Adorable, Aristophanes and I mentionining our teammate's reads.

I had a line in my rainbownotespost [that I'm pretty certain I didn't cut before posting??] listing everyone in order who had shared teamthoughts, and theorized that 1-2 of them are scum, the later the more likely. I seriously doubt any scum team outside of the Newbie queue would allow themselves to be singled out so easily.

[The Bulge]

Oh I guess I took out the list and only kept the theory. meh, that's something to look at with another scumflip on the table.

[The Bulge]

Ari's 2374 is the most town looking thing he's posted and it's giving me pause.

why? I agree it looks good but, like, to me that says absolutely zero about his alignment in team mafia.

[The Bulge]

is it just me, or is Adorable seeming slightly defensive here and there lately? has she been like that all game?

[The Bulge]

Also Adorable's vote on RCE D1 looks the most likely a bus considering it was done after the selfvote and never unvoted.

Ah yikes, is this a townslip

@Isis: There's an error in your VC in 455. beeboy's shown as self-voting when he never did.

Creature is assuming beeboy's self-voting rather than realising there's an error in the VC... I think scum would be more conscious of what their buddy is doing. Then again, beeboy only had two posts at the time. Creature, were you not ISOing him and seeing his content given he was the majority wagon for most of the day? You didn't notice the lack of a self-vote, but let it influence your reads? I mean that in this post, you're clearly looking back over votes, like Puff's to make sense of the wagon/who was bussing, but didn't notice beeboy never voted for anyone in the two posts he made... hm

I don't see it, all I get from this is that he's grasping at straws. I don't think them being partners would affect the likelihood of creature remembering if the self-vote actually happened if all he's doing is looking at VCs trying to find a townslot that might stick as an alt wagon. this might actually support a creature/ari world which is exciting

[The Bulge]

wait creature suggested massclaim at E-2[/1?] and isn't dead yet? lmao

this is like, scum death throes 101, no? with a hidden mason in play??

[The Bulge]

not even checking votes rn idc

VOTE: Creature

[The Bulge]

this might actually support a creature/ari world which is exciting

they've both pivoted this phase pretty dramatically. Ari going all-in in his Team PT, and now a self-sacrificial gambit plus smooth-talking his loudest and most consistent adversary, while Creature searches for another possible out and tries to instigate a massclaim. if this is the team, they've been feeling the heat for a long fucking time now, and this all does look like a last-ditch effort to salvage their chances at winning.

ehhh although ari calling out creature for piggybacking in 2450 probably nixes that possibility. hm hm hm hm hmm

[The Bulge]

I don't think them being partners would affect the likelihood of creature remembering if the self-vote actually happened

ok, I see this was dgb, not creature

[The Bulge]

Tgough, just realised beeboy was my error. I should've used RCE instead.

lol ok nvm

[The Bulge]

adorable
reck
ydrasse

augustus
deasvail

aristophanes

xofelf
creature

??

[The Bulge]

DGB had Adorable + xofelf with Reck as alternative.

saving this for ro3 if we get a red flip

ok im super high and leaving now sorry for the vomit
