Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn Mafia (Game Over)

VOTE: head 1/head2

Sorry to hear that Wheme but I really need you to explain this vote?

~R

Wheme, I’m still waiting for you to answer this.

I think T3's wagons are a pretty easy way to determine his allignment.

I also think T3's posting hasn't been as carefree as I expect out of town him but he played that way in a similar finished newbie game so who fckin knows maybe hes trying to switch up his meta

That’s not a good reason to vote. Why is he scum?

I didn't have a read on him when I first voted him.

Sometimes you use votes to sort people and this is one of those times for me

[WhemeStar]

More Wheme votes.

Bell wanna talk about it

Fair I guess.

[Qrow and Raven]

Toogaloo is town
Bell is town
Head one head two is town I think
Tic tac is town I think

STD pick a player to scumread and I'll sheep you

I think I can read STD based on meta because I found some tells
Waiting for him to post more.

@Wheme, don’t you think this sounds like a townie post?

~R

[tictac]

I think cakes & wheme catchups both been pretty good, while mom didn't really.
I'd be okay with AA but it's not what I prefer.

[tictac]

what even happens if we yeet someone who is on the raid?

[Qrow and Raven]

PG 35

I'm liking what I see so far, vote remains where it stands

New person of interest: cheeky

Can you elaborate on this some more?

Mod - I am on V/LA till monday morning

Not opposed but at least mom is doing something. Arc is posting elsewhere onsite.

mod, please prod Arc, it’s almost 4 days now.

[Qrow and Raven]

Good question.

mod?

Does it need to be full to proceed?

All the page 35 posting was me not cheeky. If you have questions I'm around.

-R

Why do you sr us?

Also ~R

Cheeky and I decided we are going to avoid engaging with you guys today for the sake of both slots and the gamestate.

We aren't interested in pushing you today but if we're both around day 2 we can talk about it then.

[mastina]

And I am kinda disappointed in mastina this game...

So am I!

I'm actually hard-disassociating right now. I'm onsite but I actually really don't want to be playing mafia right now. I'm not in the mindset for it. I'm not in the capacity to think. I'm not in the ability to be anything. I'm basically worthless. I've identified what's a type of localized depression which is particularly bad in this game, maybe with a side of the me that is fronting most right now being the me that isn't as fond of playing mafia so is less competent at it when forced into the role.

It's actually so bad that, no joke. I had the legitimate, genuine thought.

A thought I've never ever had before in a game.

No joke, first time I've ever had this thought before.

For this game.

I genuinely had the thought.

"Would it be better if I just...replaced out?" (or something similar)
Because I'm

not

, so to speak, "vibing" this game. I'm not resonating with it right now. I'm not "in" the game. I'm detached from it. I'm lost, I'm not able to focus, I'm not critically analyzing things and when I do I am wishy-washy about them, I'm reading but not truly comprehending and I genuinely don't think I can scumhunt right now.

And if I can't scumhunt, what good am I to the town? The main way I show my obvtownness is

through

scumhunting so I can't be obvtown without scumhunting and if I can't scumhunt right now I'm not contributing to the elimination of scum so if I'm not contributing to the elimination of scum and I'm not obvtowning thanks to not contributing to the elimination of scum...what good am I doing?

I'm not.

I know I'm not doing good and it's incredibly frustrating. The spark isn't there. I have a decent read on

why

the spark isn't there (disassociation, hardcore), but not how to get it back, other than:

"Wait, hope and pray."

Which, to be fair. Does work. Giving it time has, traditionally, always worked for me. While it's fairly rare, this is not the first towngame I've felt lost/detached from, and the 'give it time' approach was precisely what I needed in those games in order to get back into the swing of things. Sure enough, after I had the benefit of more time, I ended up being my normal self, contributing normally, having focus, having conviction, obvtowning, etc.

It's just that giving time is something that leaves me with only a hope of future-me being more suited to the task.

I'm sorry I'm not my normal self. Believe me, I

want

to be my normal self!
And you have my word that given extra time with extra flips and extra claims and extra scumhunting, I'll get better, more honed in, refined, etc. Which is why I'm not actually going to replace out, because I DO have faith in future-me to be the normal me.

But until then I'm just an extra body. I won't

hurt

the town in this state, but I can't help them in it, either. I'll be sure to tip the scales down the line as I've full confidence in my ability to do that once I have a good focal point. I just need to find it.

Until then, I know this sounds terrible, but.
I genuinely am considering just voting in the LHF that I don't townread and supporting other players doing the same.

RealCheeks (RCEnigma + CheekyTeeky)
Sakura Hana
SirCakez
Romance
(gap?)
Whemestar
Elsa Jay
Momrangal
Save The Dragons

(this is not a readslist, this is a reformatted thing.)
As in, genuinely, voting any of the names in here, preferably the lower names due to them being lower activity.

This list is based on perceived lack of activity and perceived low-hangingness of the names combined with lacking true townreads in the names listed, but basically.

I am genuinely considering just voting the names I don't think are doing much in the way of gamesolving, just to advance the game into a state where maybe, hopefully, down the line, I actually have some semblance of good reads.

[mastina]

(I should also clarify that I sorted it from highest-perceived-sortingness to lowest-perceived-sortingness in that AA9 followed by STD followed by Momrangal are the slots I think have sorted the least and RealCheeks followed by Sakura Hana followed by SirCakez are the slots on the list I think have sorted the most, with Romance up there as well and Elsa Jay similarly low to Momrangal/STD/AA9.)

And yes, I am fully aware this amounts to a "Lim All Lurkers" policy where lurker is defined not so much by posting as much as content within the posts but also to some extent still does factor in lower activity = higher-priority-elimination.

I realize that is not a good metric to reliably find scum and eliminate them.

But I don't really have anything better right now.

VOTE: STD

Sorry.

[mastina]

(For the record.
I am aware there's wagons on Romance and WhemeStar and both are reasonably active--I don't think my vote there helps any.

I am aware there's a wagon forming on ArcAngel9--my vote

could

help there, but I'd prefer to add it

after

she's posting, not before, because I feel my vote will do more if she's around than it would if she's not, in that if my lack of townread remains, a vote on her is more powerful with her posting than with her not.

I voted STD from my list because he's a slot that I think me voting actually can help, and is not more valuable with STD posting compared to not posting.

But if y'all ask me to, I'll vote anyone on my list probably and anyone on the lower half of the list definitely.)

[GuyInFreezer]

what even happens if we yeet someone who is on the raid?

The next person who joins raid will fill in.

mod, please prod Arc, it’s almost 4 days now.

Prods will start going out today as mentioned.

[Bell]

VOTE: Join raid

[Bell]

Sorry you’re having a bad time Mastina. Yeah, time is what you need, probably.

@Wheme: sure. I’m voting you almost for the exact reason Mirio is. That is, no content at the time. The current content is not there either. I know you’re sorta floaty and easy going. And perhaps the votes are showing a side of you I haven’t seen yet.but Rn, I’m not feeling’ your town game.

Side note: I don’t know if AA9 Ellie telling counts.

[Dwlee99]

Mastina your STD vote is bad

[Save The Dragons]

back from vacation, will try to post more

[ArcAngel9]

I am back from today.

So whats going go?

[ArcAngel9]

I am going to sheep mastina.

[Mirio]

VOTE: AA9

[ArcAngel9]

Lol why?

[ArcAngel9]

I have just returned form V/LA

I am not scum. If you push me i will push you back because in my world that's scummy!!
