A symbol for zero, a large dot likely to be the precursor of the still-current hollow symbol, is used throughout the Bakhshali manuscript, a practical manual on arithmetic for merchants.[39] In 2017, three samples from the manuscript were shown by radiocarbon dating to come from three different centuries: from AD 224–383, AD 680–779, and AD 885–993, making it South Asia’s oldest recorded use of the zero symbol.

You've seen my towngame and this is clearly it idk why you're voting me

[innocentvillager]

VOTE: Cephrir

Well I'm never fucking listening to my teammates again.

Tbh I would've tunneled them more too if your teammates didn't hardtown Cephrir

[innocentvillager]

Fuck I fucked up a pronoun already *him*

btw I'm really sorry about last game potentially being the catalyst for that ABR shit. I promise to be better about pronouns and I'm not off to a great start

[OkaPoka]

"told ya so" an agar story

also iv its not your fault

[hercule]

well. i am feeling pretty fuckin mad about ABR ruining the game. I put way too much effort in for a goddamn scumflip. Town had the upperhand but mafia battled really fucking hard to get out of the ABR vs. Xtoxm situation and I think came out of it pretty well positioned in the thread. I was about to case the fuck out of mastina and hopefully we could have ended the day on a town elim. It was an uphill battle for us though. I'm happy with how both scum and town played.

that being said. might as well benefit from my previous scumflip by spewing myself town. that was about the hardest i've tried after a scumflip and it's because it was so important for the team mafia dynamics to get a town win. here were my tactics:

1. use unfamiliarity with my meta to do things that are easier for me to fake as scum: ISOs, precrunched analysis, and avoid interacting in realtime in the thread except to make jokes or push back on scumreads on my own slot

2. lean on my precrunched analysis to defend townreads on my partners or scumreads on town. avoid thinking on my feet and evaluating in realtime unless it's obviously necessary

3. avoid bussing except where absolutely possible (never was going to retract tr on cephrir, had to put reasonable doubt on ABR and xtoxm considering how likely it was they were limmed that game)

4. push on reads that conveniently ignore meta about slots and push the perspective that i don't know anyone and don't care about meta

5. use the fact that the game is large as an excuse to not have to form reads. when i'm town, reads simply come naturally to me. as scum, i have to go post by post and make sure that my reads make sense. as town, i simply vibe

and finally, the quintessential block of my entire scumgame

6. reacting strongly to objectively false comments in order to summon genuine emotion

for example, super forgot that I was scum and told me a read on ythan on page 1, so I used that to firmly push back on Ythan for saying I was lying - I wasn't

now, that being said, I am typing this up pre-flip. If you are seeing this, I am probably town. I don't think I would post this if I flip mafia, the WIFOM wouldn't be worth revealing my entire playbook.

also shoutout mastina, you may have thought xtoxm vs. abr was town vs. town but your scumreads on me and Cephrir made you an absolute threat and contributed to my decision to scumcase and push you right before the game was ruined

[Hopkirk]

quick update to my blacklist that i posted last game

Staarling

– One of Hectic’s alts. We’re not eligible to play together.

Untrod Tripod

– Given his role in organizing the event I can’t help but feel he’ll probably have setup related details that would give him an advantage in the game.

Flopz

- He’s on my team so we can’t technically play together. Honestly, we picked him up to avoid the horrific toxic 1v1s he starts every game.

Osama bin laden

(the real one) – I know this is a controversial statement, but I don’t want to play mafia with international terrorists . Not even dead ones.

Hoptic

- It’s a hydra. It’s also one of my hydras. If it was in the game, I’d be less annoyed that someone on my BL got in, and more incredibly concerned about who’s out to get me.

Magnetic

(parknourie alt) – Banned a decade ago for alt-based cheating. I don’t want to see that in my team mafia games.
A hydra of everyone on mafiascum who wants to destroy team mafia to get revenge on the mods– honestly this one is kind of self-explanatory. One or two of them are already on our team so we aren’t eligible to play together.

Tubbs

(Hectic’s pet hamster) - I don’t want to out their alt, but I’m glad they’re in the large theme and not this game.

Emperor Hadrian

- he blacklisted me like 1900 years ago and I blacklisted him back. I’d prefer not to get into it.

Explodernaught

- Not an existing account. I only want to play with real people nowadays.

Albert B Rampage

- He did some highly questionable stuff in a game i played in recently. Don't really want to go through that again

[innocentvillager]

yeah hercule you snowed me really bad i had you in my top tier with oka hopkirk and unwnd.

[Ythan]

VOTE: hercule

[hercule]

helloooooooooooooooooooo my friends it feels great to be here. i made a vocaroo reaction to my role pm but implosion said they would prefer for me not to post it so.

i will try to reel in the insufferably lamisty energy i exude but i do just want to express one thought that's fucking funny to me. i kept referring to my team as the 4/4 town gods last game cuz i told them i wanted everyone to embody our full team flipping town and let it seep into everyone's game cuz i was the only one who flipped mafia and i wanted to manifest myself as town. and then IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED lmaooo 4/4 town gods for real. they all got scumflips on d1 so time for us to do the same.

but still fuck ABR

[hercule]

VOTE: hercule

[hercule]

Somebody, I won't say who, but somebody of good authority has told me that I am indeed first.

pedit: fuck you

Sucks to suck, chicken boy!

[Hopkirk]

[Ythan]
