2078: Any Non-Dead Person Can Post In This Mafia Game [end]

[mastina]

Oh perfect timing.
So this will presumably be shown in a VC the moment it comes true, but just in case it doesn't, I'm a conditional hated; the condition is 25 people posting in this thread.
Given the game's theme, that's going to happen in, what, like, 24 hours? Soyeah basically I'm hated for the full game length. Pretty sure it doesn't go away in lylo, either, so lylo's a day earlier if I'm still alive unless I'm the lynch the day before lylo.

My GUESS is Pine, Lavender, adn the Gamma Emerald slot! ヽ(〃･ω･)ﾉ

Nahhh Gamma slot's town. Not sure about Lavender, but I'll allow it as a "sure, why not?" guess. My money's on Ausuka/ofrhz as the most likely third.

[mastina]

E-eh? Ausuka-chan is my ONLY true townread based on play sofar, what makes thy thoughts feel OTHERWISE? (ʃ⌣́,⌣́ƪ)

Because with Pine as scum, his scumbuddies are going to be the people you don't think are his scumbuddies.

[mastina]

That would only make sense if Ausuka-chan and Pine had INTERACTIONS? ヽ( ?_? )ﾉ

They've both posted, therefore, their interactions are already what Pine wants them to be.

MASTINA <3

Yo.
You're town by virtue of the scumteam being Pine, Lavender, and one of Ausuka/ofrhz. So I can indeed return the <3.

[mastina]

Mastina I want a friend. Hang at my place tonight?

Sure you're not on the scumteam so may as well.

[mastina]

do you ever just, like, start a Mafia game on Mafiascum.net, and you get to votecount 1.03, and you're like "what have I done... what have I done"

Welcome to every game I run, ever.

[mastina]

Pine scumreads are becoming a bit TOO mainstream? ＼(;´□｀)/
PINE what dost thou think?

I can answer for him!
"All according to plan."

Because when you make an early wagon on scum, it inevitably falls apart and then people refuse to then wagon that scum ever again, pretty much.

So wagoning him's exactly what he wants.

[mastina]

mastina, if you're a sk here who do you kill?

Nobody because as an sk I play like a vig and as a vig I say "fuck vigs" and don't kill.

[mastina]

As a compulsive loyal vig who do you kill?

Pine-->Lavender-->Ausuka-->ofrhz, obv.

[mastina]

Mastina stated her Hated status does not go away. Gosh, even I read that.

Yep. At least as far as I can tell. There's no deactivation clause, only an activation condition. There's no specification for differences in XYLO, so. Presumably. Still works even in lylo. Meaning lylo's a day early if I'm still alive, unless on said day I'm the lynch.

[mastina]

@players: who would you say is the best person on site at reading you?

That'd be Ellibereth, natch.

[mastina]

Who should I sheep this game?

That'd be me, onto Pine.

[mastina]

Guys there is no way Pine is scum in this game.

And that is specifically why he is scum.

[mastina]

Eh. Pine wagon is stale, and I'm not ready to end the day. Everyone who is voting Pine needs to poke at people who aren't turtling.

Just sayin'.

[mastina]

reads list, mastina?

To a lesser extent?
Everyone outside of Pine/Lavender/Ausuka/ofrhz as town.

It's actually kinda redundant to go any further than that. Like, it's literally just. "All these people are town, but these people are MORE town than town".

Like this. Basically-conftown, high-town, town-but-I-won't-fight-their-inevitable-mislynches, scum. And you can flip any names in any tier pretty much as much as you'd like and it'll be just as accurate a readslist.

[mastina]

On a scale of 1-10 how much paranoia do you have about my alignment rn, mastina?

Absolute 0. You're basically a mason. Fuck neighborhood, you. are. basically. a. mason.

Your fault for claiming that role.

[mastina]

(If you wanted me to be paranoid of you, then don't fucking claim essentially-mason. )

[mastina]

It's odd that mastina hasn't quoted any posts while declaring them town.

I admit it was tempting, but it'd have been shitposting because I'd have been including people who weren't players in the town town? scum? scum list. Don't know why I decided not to do that, actually, but I did THINK of doing it at the very least. I just didn't.

[mastina]

Elaborations on Rooster, Nom, and Ofhrz please. No rush, just want the thoughts.

Sure. Meta and gut, meta and gut, and then just outright gut.

[mastina]

I'm vaguely paranoia-ing about mastina, and I'm not sure how much of that is the liquor. So I'll bid you all a fond farewell and fly again on the morrow.

I mean I don't really see why since this is pretty self-evidently my towngame?

Don't think I've had a single game this year where I've been more immediately obvtown than this game to be honest. Which says something because I've had plenty of games where I was immediately obvtown.

[mastina]

Like the one you lolhammered Alisae in! ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/

That was last year.

But, yes, that'd be an example of me being immediately obvtown.

Ironically, also in need of death the day before lylo, too, albeit for different reasons.

[mastina]

Hello

Goodbye

[mastina]

I'M PROBABLY ABOUT TO SPEND TIME WITH MY GIRLFRIEND AND RIGHT NOW AM INCREDIBLY BUSY AND I DON'T THINK I CAN POST CONTENT TONIGHT AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FOR A WHILE BECAUSE I'M DOING LIKE TEN DIFFERENT THINGS A DAY RIGHT NOW AND I WILL BE AROUND WHEN I AM ABLE TO AND I PRAY TO GOD THAT THE MOD DOESN'T HAVE PROD-DODGE RULES BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T THINK I CAN MAKE CONTENT NOW BUT I SWEAR TO GOD I CAN MAKE GOOD CONTENT ONCE I AM NO LONGER SO BUSY; I SHOULD PROBABLY SET V/LA EVEN THOUGH TECHNICALLY SPEAKING I AM NEITHER ON VACATION NOR LIMITED ACCESS (well, from a certain point of view, I AM on vacation given shutdown week at work but that vacation should've increased my access not decreased and yet here I am)

[mastina]

His role was:

Welcome to Mini 2078,

RedFlavour

!
You are a

Town

Loyal

Vigilante

!

During the night, you may target a player. Should your night action succeed, your target will be nightkilled.
Your night action can only succeed if your target shares your alignment.

You win when all threats to the

town

are eliminated, and at least one member of your faction is alive.

The game thread is here.
Please confirm your role via PM.

Good luck and have fun!

Oh hey that's actually really impressive. You managed to replicate my role PM formatting

exactly

. Down to the url formatting, even! (Most impostors won't remove the &f= part from the urls like I obsessively do.)

...Oh wait, actually, I spotted one mistake. For the wincon, the color bbcode should come before the bold because I often include 'the' in the green but DON'T bold it.
Otherwise, spot-on tho!

[mastina]

Night 1 has started! Night 1 ends in: (expired on 2019-06-09 09:00:00)

Also I know I get lazy as a mod sometimes but when I announce night I SHOULD give not only the countdown timer but the actual date, e.g. Friday, June 7th, @ 2:45 am.

[mastina]

Night 1 has started! Night 1 ends in: (expired on 2019-06-09 09:00:00)

lol did you really do a 4 day night
that's wild

Copying my Large Theme game rules, that's actually the proper deadline. Three-days normally, but add an extra 24 hours if the deadline's on a weekend (because I expect not only players to be V/LA, but also, myself).

[mastina]

Right, so is there anything in the previous 25 pages of trash worth reading? Asking for a friend.

Depends. You town? If so, then yes. You scum? Then no, not really.

[mastina]

So I still think we should lynch Pine.

If need be, I can compromise on Lavender, but yes, Pine's my preferred lynch right now.

[mastina]

Btw I hope you all know I’m not intending to actually read this game.

I am!

I mean I'll be skimming like a motherfucker, but I'll still get it done.

I COULD skip--I know I could, and get away with it, too.
But dammit.
Half the POINT of this game is to READ it and I WANT to read it so god help me give me the strength to read it because I WANT to read it not because I have to or out of obligation or for the game content but just for the FUN of it.

[mastina]

Lavender is cool in the sense that he/she seems to be trying.

You and I must be reading some very different posts, mate.

[mastina]

just lynch everyone but Mastina and Jingle and you've got yourself a town win.

I mean.
Yes.
But there's problems with executing that plan in practice.

[mastina]

Is muffinman’s whimsy tell still a tell for Mastina?

Yep! Whimsiness never fails to mark me as town.

Lack of it doesn't inherently mark me as scum, mind you, but I literally can't fake it as town. Reason it's still on the flowchart.

[mastina]

Mastina, do you have any recent Pine town examples?

Depends, define 'recent'.

[mastina]

VOTE: nomnomnom
I expect Titus, Pine, and mastina to understand this vote.

Not particularly, no. Nothing tells me nom's scum here. Admittedly the stuff telling me nom's town isn't as strong as preferred, but it's plenty enough for D1 at the very least.

[mastina]

Who'd want to seduce an orc :/

Don't be judgmental! Female orcs are plenty alluring enough for those not in a committed relationship. And if you're attracted to males instead, plenty about male orcs would be good I'd imagine, but I wouldn't know the details there given my own orientation.

[mastina]

VOTE: nomnomnom

VOTE: Pine

[mastina]

I have 1 scum caught dead to rights

I believe you, I just also believe you're scumsiding.

[mastina]

Too much easy support for Pine lynch seems suspicious.

Sure would be if that actually were the case. Good thing it wasn't!

[mastina]

anyone care to dance

[mastina]

zzz this hyperposting thing is hard
How do people do it? It's like tweeting every thought into the void

Easy.
Fall behind in a game.
Have literally no life outside of the internet, which is comprised 70% of by mafiascum in your world.
Have free time.
And be bored.

BAM.

Magic combo, works every time. Just comment on anything which you fancy, reactive as hell. Fun as fuck!

[mastina]

I'm exhaust

Ehh I prefer heal and flash instead.

[mastina]

@players: who would you say is the best person on site at reading you?

Its obviously mastina.

Firebringer jests since we both know I'm literally the worst ever at reading him and pretty much have a 0% accuracy rate, but actually, vice-versa? He's one of the best at reading me when he actually bothers to. Highly annoying; of ALL the people who could have the talent, it's HIM who has it.

[mastina]

Wait Who is actually playing this game as opposed to shitposting in it, what?

There's some non-players that count, and some players who count. I'm not quite sure if I count as a player who isn't shitposting, but eh.

[mastina]

Hmm is mastina going 2 days with no posts a bad sign?

Alignment-wise? No if anything it's the opposite, indicating I'm more likely to be town.

Real-life-wise/game-content-wise? Absolutely, yes, it's a sign that shit's going down in my life and/or that I am struggling to find motivation to post in the game and/or that I am depressed and any one of these three would be bad enough but usually I'm hit with two or three at a time.

[mastina]

Hmm is mastina going 2 days with no posts a bad sign?

Normally I would say yes, but this is still in massive shitpost territory, so I'll cut her some slack and say it's NAI unless she beetlejuices.

Actually I'm more likely to beetlegeuse as town these days.

[mastina]

Mastina can leave as town if she feels her lynch is better.

Brings up the question tho.
If someone is replaced, can they then continue to post even in spite of being replaced, because they are technically speaking neither dead nor in the game anymore?

[mastina]

Because

I seriously am considering taking roster on as an apprentice given how in-tune he is to my style of posting.

[mastina]

And ayy it's time for mealtime with jjh927
Today I'm making burgers (in cheesy buns), chips, and beans, using burgers I made yesterday when I was making the meatballs.
Stay tuned for another delectable picture!

Huh.
What a coincidence.
I probably SHOULD be eating rather than playing this game right now, and dinner is in fact hamburgers.
I have a special process; I put ketchup on the hamburgers after they're cooked but still in the frying pan, put two slices of cheese on each, then start the frying pan back up and put a lid on--the steam melts the cheese and is far more delicious than microwaved melted cheese is. (I also add ketchup AFTER the cheese is melted, on top of the cheese...and also to the buns. I add a shitload of ketchup.)

Oh and I eat 2-3 hamburgers stacked on top of each other...and use whatever other things I can find.
If we have bacon available, it's bacon burgers.
Green beans? I add them on.
Potato chips? I add them on.
All three? I add all three on.

I have been told that no jaw should be able to clamp down on the resulting monstrosity.
And have demonstrated, live, how mine can do precisely that.

[mastina]

Oh also.
If french fries are available (they never are, but if they were)?
Add them in, too.
Never have I managed to make the ultimate combo:
Burgers cooked in bacon grease, with the process described above, times three, with added in bacon, green beans, potato chips, and french fries all squeezed into two buns.

I WANT to make that combo so badly tho. Alas. Never have had the chance.

[mastina]

VOTE: Pine
Obvscum.

Bad entrance from mastina so far, though.

Oi! I'll have you know that my entrance was quite excellent. Don't Pine my entrance as being scum.

[mastina]

mastina is looking underwhelming so far.

What.

I can understand being underwhelming in terms of quantity of posting.

But fuck that shit when it comes to quality. You're in the literal best part of my content. It doesn't get better than around there.

[mastina]

Pine and mastina still both scum

Been there, done that. Got boring after that bus.

Try again.

[mastina]

oh, but mastina doesn't bus like that, so yeah, only one of them can be scum

I mean.
I

can

.
And have.

It's just that.

It's

because

I have, that you can know that I

didn't

.

[mastina]

"hated" is not a player. it is shorthand for "this player is publicly known to be hated." there are 13 players.

Oh, then mastina is town

PRETTY sure xyzzy's had a scum hated before? That role combo sounds familiar to me at the very least, so. Wouldn't call me town for that reason.

[mastina]

I feel like Creature is just spamming catchup posts to avoid engaging in real time, seems scummy.

Yeah totally. It's a move which could only come from scum.

[mastina]

I'm here to learn from Creature the ways of the hyperpost

Creature aint got nuthin' on me when I get going good.

I just almost never do.

I mean, even now, this is a nerfed mastina.

[mastina]

ive also seen lavender low on tierlists. but their iso isnt even that bad

Sure isn't, for a scum player! Lavender's iso is actually incredibly impressive given their alignment.

[mastina]

Creature is obviously a hydra of Titus and RadiantCowbells

That hydra exists!

[mastina]

I said yeah to that earlier
Top 5 posters in us politics thread in speakeasy

Have someone spam their way to the top 5 and you're gonna fulfill your goal.

I mean.
Doing to that thread what I'm doing to this one would be a potential way to do exactly that, except.

Meh.
Fuck that shit.
Not worth the effort.

[mastina]

Also, do creature catchups go recursive? Will he start commenting on his own catchup posts when he hits page 53?

This is why Creature aint got nuthin' on me.
He doesn't.

I do.

(Well, not always. Only sometimes. But when I do...it adds up.)

[mastina]

Okay, so creature can handle 40 pages per day. We have our marching orders, men.

Apparently, so can I, and then some.

Kinda surprising because my normal limit's 20. Dunno why I'm managing over double that now.

[mastina]

(Mind you that's one of the reasons I'm not stopping to eat. I'm worried that if I stop, I won't start again, which is something I know can and has happened.)

[mastina]

I feel vindicated for my grumbling about you in Civilization Mafia.

Ahhhh that game brings back the memories~ <3

[mastina]

Joan of Arc would be a good gimmick.

She's already got one tho.

[mastina]

(Speaking of, if you want to bump up the number of posters, ask Yume to post once on each of her accounts. BAM. Instantly, 30+ new posters. )

[mastina]

(Or rather. 30+ new posters once she actually decides to post and follow through on said request. )

[mastina]

nom why are you still voting lavender?

Well why not? It's not like it's a bad vote. It's almost as good as a Pine vote!

[mastina]

I'm scum siding

Believable.

I'm town siding.

Liar.

[mastina]

Oh yeah Lavender is scum.
VOTE: Lavender

That would be true, yes.

[mastina]

Since a lot of people are posting here that aren't in the game, I'm putting out there that I'd love hydraing with someone someday soooo... yeah!

I'm always down to hydra with anyone; my terms are simple:
1: The other player makes the account
2: The other player chooses the game
3: The other player expects the worst of me and not the best.

[mastina]

I think Pine is just stupid townie regarding their reaction to me.

I think you vastly underestimate Pine if you think 'stupid' 'town' and 'Pine' belong in the same sentence.

[mastina]

Nom, ungated vig?

I mean.

Requiring two specific people to post is in of itself a rather big gate.

[mastina]

I honestly think Pine is town here, there's no chance a scum goes hard against a survivor that has claimed winning upon admins posting.

There is EVERY chance scum goes that hard against a 3p when it's Pine.

[mastina]

My power, activated by posters from the Relationships thread, is Cupid shots. These serve much the same function as Vigilante shots.

VOTE:

Pine

[mastina]

Commute with a loverizer and a vigilante.
That sounds like total bullshit.

No that sounds like a kill-reduction method in a kill-happy game which is exactly what Jingle predicted.

It be real.

Is it town?

Role-wise meh could see it either way, comes down to play.

So yes, it is.

[mastina]

I kind of wanna speedwagon Ausuka.

I'd help!

[mastina]

The claim felt genuine but Pine's points about scums probably having a BP makes sense here.

Yeah fuck those points. They're technical truths but are manipulative as fuck bending perspective on things.

[mastina]

Xyzzy if this is actually a town sided commuter im gonna scream @ u

Yeah fuck that.
When it's shown town, you don't need to scream at xyzzy.
You get me to scream at you because of YOUR preconceptions that are based around biases that are fucking false. It'd be 100% your fault, not xyzzy's, so don't even try to say otherwise.

[mastina]

UNVOTE:
I think we should wait for jingle to chime in first
I don’t think Pines role condition has been met yet either

This is a town post btw

Noooooo it's pretty blatantly a scum post.

[mastina]

I suspect you because I don't townread you and this game has a lot of very town looking players.

This but also Lavender's posts just kinda suck.

[mastina]

Sorry, fell asleep on the couch. Not feeling very well. I think this is L+1, but it’s the principle.
VOTE: Roster

Hey so like.
You guys DO know that Pine's scum here, right?

Justsayin'.

[mastina]

So let’s put Pine/Lavender/Ausuka as the scumteam with who as the filler

Substitute Who for ofrhz and you have a deal!

[mastina]

Onions are ew

VOTE: roster
Policy lynch.
Also, poor poor duck 2.0, being allergic to the best culinary tool in anyone's arsenal.

Wasn’t this hammer?
Seriously, I’m not feeling well today and just skimmed. I didn’t see any unvotes or reasons to stop.

[mastina]

That game gave me PTSD now everytime I vote I write exact name of the player even when I'm lazy.

Oh I forgot about that game.

Well let's be honest--you REALLY shoulda known what you were in for given the game title.

[mastina]

Mastina sorry if I miss on you but I wanna see your flip

Normally?
I'd say that you should in fact shoot me. Because no fucking shit, I'm hated, lylo a day early with me alive, and all that.

But fuck that shit.

You shoot me after fucking mislynching roster and don't fucking shoot actual scum like Pine?

You fucking deserve to lose.

[mastina]

mastina you've said lavender and pine are scum a lot but you don't actually ever say any reasons

...Yeah, and?

Were you trying to make a point with that statement?

I don't see one.

when the f we gonna hydra?

When you fulfill the terms I mentioned.

[mastina]

when the f we gonna hydra?

When you fulfill the terms I mentioned.

(Specifically.

Since a lot of people are posting here that aren't in the game, I'm putting out there that I'd love hydraing with someone someday soooo... yeah!

I'm always down to hydra with anyone; my terms are simple:
1: The other player makes the account
2: The other player chooses the game
3: The other player expects the worst of me and not the best.

^These. You've yet to. )

[mastina]

Also fuck you Krazy without you I'd have managed to get a solid 2.5 pages of nothing but me posting with an entire page being just me but noooooo you just had to break my posting streak.

[mastina]

I'm always down to hydra with anyone; my terms are simple:
1: The other player makes the account
2: The other player chooses the game
3: The other player expects the worst of me and not the best.

Wait, I get to hydra with you and you'll play like the worst?
WIN WIN

...Sure why not.

[mastina]

Oh and while I normally don't spam to get the pagetop...meh I'm about to leave so I'll try even though it'll inevitably be sniped from me.

[mastina]

[mastina]

Votecount here?

[mastina]

I tried to masonize EeveeLution Army last night.

It didn't work.

[mastina]

(The idea was to create a mason link to the neighborhood btw. Jingle as conftown, Wagonomics as obvtown, then EeveeLution Army made conftown and me able to indirectly talk to both Jingle/Wagonomics through her. Alas.)

[mastina]

are you claiming a guilty result on ELA

Maybe?
I'm claiming that I tried to masonize EeveeLution Army last night, and that I don't have a PT with EeveeLution Army in spite of having submitted that as my night action N1.

There's any number of reasons why it wouldn't be a guilty; there's only one world where it could be one.

[mastina]

She hasn't clarified yet, masonizer can be implemented in a couple different ways. In particular, it can be done as, if your target is scum, you die, which confirm that roleblocked happen.
If it's the type of masonizer that's, if your target is scum, nothing happens, same as if you were roleblocked, we should probably not speculate on whether a roleblock happened and just speedlynch, sure.

Yeah I need to ask that question. Will let you know when I have an answer.

[mastina]

if there are 4 scums

There's not four scum.

While I think town power may be strong this game (may be, not definitely is), if so, scum are EQUALLY as OP. Not in terms of numbers; in terms of power roles.

If town has super strong power roles, scum have super strong power roles.

[mastina]

We're supposed to have a vig and a loverizer that wouldn't surprise me you know

Just so you know.
Loverizer is often a scum role.

[mastina]

VOTE: eevee

For the record.

Really not fond of both of my tertiary scumspects pushing for an Eevee lynch...

...When my result, albeit potentially damning, is in no way an assured 100% guilty.

[mastina]

Im also annoyed that mastina kinda just dropped that without going into any detail.

I've been INCREDIBLY busy and still am. I dropped that claim and then was immediately gone (which is a trend you'll see from me in all my games across the site--show up, say one thing, then leave, because busy).

But I gave what I could give. I used a masonizer action on you last night.
I am waiting for the mod to get back to me on how it resolved.
We didn't become masons, in spite of the submitted night action.
That's not a hard guilty, but it's something that I needed to claim just in case.

[mastina]

This makes ausuka look REALLY bad for implying you could ever be an odd scum commuter by the way

No argument here.

[mastina]

Lavender/Pine/Ausuka scumteam? Possible.

Hey, I mean.

I called that shit D1, so.

[mastina]

are you masonizer the role or a variation of masonizer?

I don't think I should answer this, but I will say that the action I used last night was called Masonize.
Not 'basically a masonizer', e.g. 'loyal neighborizer'.
The action I used last night was literally Masonize EeveeLution Army.

[mastina]

mastina, if you get a chance I'd like to hear your overall setup thoughts as well. I

think

we might be able to shenanigans this game.

Too early for that. Give it another night and I'll be able to help you, but on D2 all I can really do is analyze claims by play, e.g. thinking Lavender and Pine have fairly high scum equity.

[mastina]

So I think Pine is the most logical person to be scum here. But yeah.

Won't hear disagreement from me!

[mastina]

She hasn't clarified yet, masonizer can be implemented in a couple different ways. In particular, it can be done as, if your target is scum, you die, which confirm that roleblocked happen.
If it's the type of masonizer that's, if your target is scum, nothing happens, same as if you were roleblocked, we should probably not speculate on whether a roleblock happened and just speedlynch, sure.

Yeah I need to ask that question. Will let you know when I have an answer.

Did ask, don't have an answer yet.

[mastina]

who claimed loverizer

He did? I missed it.

[mastina]

@Mastina why do you think your result failed? As in, most likely reason for you?

I don't know; I'll have a better answer when the mod gets back to me. Hopefully.

[mastina]

had you claimed on D1?

I claimed hated D1, nothing else.

[mastina]

like come on. "my role automatically wins the game if two people post" when everyone's discussing getting people to post. she would have claimed.

I mean.
Lavender's a scumread of mine, and your lacking daytalk theory could be valid, so.

[mastina]

claims via towny scumroles and scummy townroles?

Usually this.

[mastina]

@RC do you think newbie scum can pull off this kind of extremely town-sounding post? Because frankly I can't.

What you said is also a big contradiction with your usual game. I looked at your literal first game when you had a bigger grasp on the game AS A VT. Now you claim you are "completely useless".

This is just a weird departure from what I've seen of you so far.

pedit: look at your first game on here and look at your posts in this game and you will see what I am talking about

I guess I'm really not putting that much effort here...in my first game I could read through everything without getting confused.
In this one I just get confused and unsure of what to ask, that I just react to things pointed at me. In the other game, there were other VT's, but in this one there are so many more active PR's that I just don't feel as I could make 'that' huge a difference. Not really a good excuse to not help fellow townies though...
I'll try not to be as self-centered here and next-time.
PE: Tbh, in my scumgame I was moving a lot and didn't have that much time to mull over the details. Which effected my performance a lot.

Um.

That post looks like textbook newbscum not sure how to deal with rolling scum?

[mastina]

i mean, i consider vig a negative utility, it kills town faster.

SAME.
Masonizer is SO much better.

[mastina]

There's a decent chance that EV is scum power. My role PM implies that other people in the neighborhood might have additional powers.

So let me ask you this question, Jingle:
Separately from the guilty. If there were no masonizer failed result.

Would you still think EeveeLution Army was scum?

That's important to me because while I did try to masonize EeveeLution Army, I'm still skeptical (barring an answer from the mod) that I actually got a guilty.

[mastina]

I implied I thought it was all town and had no other reads. Wagon was explicitly sr-ing EV.

...Oof. That doesn't look good for EeveeLution Army even without my masonize shot not having worked.

[mastina]

the only reason I have to suspect mastina is that her reads are literally exactly the same as on post 128

...And?

What, pray tell, since then, should have changed my reads?

Name one thing.

[mastina]

Who do we think between Lavender and ELA is more likely to possess Roleblocker as a second role?

Oh if both are scum, EeveeLution Army by far.

[mastina]

Like, role-wise, EeveeLution Army's got a claim that is the most likely to leave open the possibility of being a roleblocker.
Ausuka's pretty much the only other candidate I can think of off the top of my head.
Pine's loverizer's not likely a fakeclaim; it's thus either a town loverizer or a scum loverizer.
Lavender's role may or may not be real but regardless of whether the 'jeep and meme post' is real or not, that's not a likely roleblocker.
ofhrz's got a role mirrored to Pine's, and thus, is not a roleblocker we're looking for.

Most players in the game have a role that is either theoretically provable, conditions not having been met yet, or is a known quantity/entity. EeveeLution Army's one of the best candidates for having extra.

[mastina]

Mod answer: So apparently the masonize action was not counted as a night action and thus, effectively didn't happen.

[mastina]

Like I think Eevee and Pine being scum together is ultra likely together. It makes sense for things to have happened the way they did.

Do you still think that's the case without the masonizer action?

I mean.
If we still think Eevee's scum without the masonizer action. From scummy play. From the chance of, mechanically, being the scum roleblocker. Then sure, yeah, lynch away. But there's no masonizer guilty so if we do lynch Eevee it needs to be clear that we're doing it without that.

[mastina]

so, no guilty?

Correct. No guilty.

Not counted as a night action? Like, did you not PM it in time?

I'm going to err on the side of caution and not elaborate and leave it as "I've said as much as I should".

[mastina]

So there's a CHANCE that I get nightkilled tonight and thus I have to explain this to the dead thread instead of to the living, but either way, I have some explaining to do. I didn't explain yesterday just because scum nightkilling a hated townie would be hilariously suboptimal and as long as they were left with the impression that I was a masonizer, they might nightkill me.

But basically: that wasn't a fakeclaim but it also wasn't my role. How could it not be a fakeclaim but also not be my role?

Simple.
I had a misunderstanding.

Hey, people.
Remember the N1 PM that xyzzy sent out?
I realize the new hydras (and replacements) wouldn't know it, but the original players

would

.
So to educate everyone.
To paraphrase that PM (honestly since this was a PM sent to everyone I could PROBABLY get away with quoting it but I don't want to risk it because it IS technically speaking moderator communication),
It was titled:
"Any Non-Dead Person Can Submit a Night One Action".
The text of the PM said, "Only non-dead players are being notified they can submit a night action, and if someone who isn't a non-dead player submits a night action, I'll be cheeky and say I'll take their action into consideration.
For the rest of you, 48 hours."

That one? You know the one.

...I think you can see where I'm going with this.
I interpreted that as a neat game mechanic where

every

actual PLAYER could submit ANY night action of their choice, and have it go through.
So I submitted an "Instant Masonize: EeveeLution Army" night action, with the idea of creating a masonry and establishing a link to the neighborhood so that we could coordinate, thinking that was an actual thing that I could do.

xyzzy gave me a PT to post in (I actually typed this post out in it), but it was specifically "mastina can post in here and only mastina". (And, by the way, I can't edit posts in that PT; had I the power to edit posts in the PT I'd know it was meant for personal use only but without that option, with each post I made in there being finalized, I was left with the impression that it was an actual game-relevant, serves-a-purpose, game PT.) My first thought was that maybe xyzzy was allowing me to have a PT where I could talk during the night, and that EeveeLution Army would be added at daystart, i.e., that I could get a head start on talking in there, but only at the conclusion of the night would a masonize action go through.

Then EeveeLution Army wasn't added, so I knew that the action hadn't succeeded.

I saw the addition of hydras as being evidence that the mechanic I thought was in play, was in fact in play, with two players having had the same idea of adding players to the game to become a hydra. I didn't think that was their role, I thought that was them having had the same idea in night actions. But then as the day went on, I began to have doubts; nobody was referencing the N1 night action event. None of the original players were mentioning the N1 PM, and none of the players when referencing the setup balance were taking it into consideration.

So then and only then did I wonder if maybe I had misinterpreted what the N1 PM had meant, and asked xyzzy about it.
And was told "you didn't masonize anyone because that's not your role".

So like I said.

Misinterpretation, not a fakeclaim, not my actual role.
Sorry for the confusion it caused yesterday, but I did need to come clean about this in case I lived.

[mastina]

Mod: Sick, so I'll be doing only the bare minimum until recovered.

This game doesn't need my immediate attention, so sorry, but it'll take me a while to get to it. I know I already marked V/LA because I was busy but now said V/LA may last longer than that time.

[mastina]

SO since because we are in EVENS for the rest of the game there is actually NO need to policy Mastina as long as the pine slot never uses their ability!

Great idea!

Let's lynch the Pine slot to ensure that ability is never used!

[mastina]

Is mastina rather spicy I thought her style of mafia is more smooth

Only as scum.
scumastina's smooth as ice, town mastina's red hot chili pepper spicy flaming hot.

[mastina]

ok
I'm a town prime/square/triangular cop. If the number of posters is a prime, square or triangular number, I get to be a cop! On n1 there were 107 posters, I targeted eevee, they were mafia. On n2 there were 109 posters, I targeted the titus/pops slot and they're town.

*compares this claim to rosterfoster stance*

Be the commuting is an antidote to being shot the fuck out of? Like it makes perfect sense. One of Nom/Ausuka is scum (oh look I’m attacking my attackers :O)

It makes perfect sense which is why xyzzy probably wouldn't put it in the game.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a scum commuter before? Also commuter being reasonable is true but like. Do you get the impression xyzzy sat down to make these roles and thought, "ok it's time to make a reasonable setup."?

So you’re doubting my role BECAUSE it makes sense?

yes

By all means think I’m a scum commuter but you’re trying to attack my townieness from two mutually exclusive angles

I don't particularly think you're that but if someone says something I know is incorrect I'm going to point that out?

VOTE: Eeveelution Army

Tbh I think Eevee is a really good lynch even ignoring the masonizer thing.

Okay at least

this

half of the claim checks out.

Color me all kinds of skeptical about it tho.

I believe the investigation target is town, but I am somewhat iffy on the towniness of Ausuka here.

[mastina]

upon further reflection, i believe pine's claim (not alignment) and given that a scum roleblocker is confirmed to exist i don't think we lynch him today

I do.
Fuck hunting for a mafia roleblocker, which mind you he could be if he told a minor fib about the trigger and outright changed the nature of the power. (I don't think he is, but it's something I wouldn't altogether discard.) He's scum anyway, sooooooo.

[mastina]

I’m a conditional governor. Conditional on one of the top 5 posters from the us politics thread making a post here that’s relate to us politics

(If Ausuka's legitimately town, then this is our third scum btw. Not only is that an easy fakeclaim, but also if it is a real role I'd expect it to be a scum one.)

[mastina]

mastina have you fullclaimed

I did at daystart when I confessed to the fuckup/misunderstanding; I'm a hated townie. Well, town 25-person hated to be more specific.

[mastina]

On a whim I looked today to see who'd replaced me, and I found that no one had. That isn't fair to the Town, so I talked to xyzzy, and they're having a hard time finding someone who wants to read 125 pages with a disadvantaged slot. I'm going to give it another attempt, and I'll actually try this time.

Not trying to be an ass, but.

This is basically a confession that the slot's a scum slot, soooo.

[mastina]

1000 page next day innocent child (as long I don't have 3% of the posts). I tracked Pine last night and saw him visit nomnomnom.

Hey so like.

As soon as this is triggered.

Can you confirm with the mod that it has been triggered?

Because once you have confirmed with the mod that it has been triggered, we can end the day.

Not that I disbelieve the claim; I quite believe it in fact.

[mastina]

what if penguin is pine's scumbuddy?

We have a way to prove he's not.

[mastina]

A way, mind you.

That me doing 70 pages' of catchup posting.

Helps.

Significantly.

To forward.

[mastina]

(I can be a spammy fuck when I choose to be, and catching up is a great way to be exactly that.)

[mastina]

(For instance, spacing out posts so that when quoting a post, I quote just a section, post it, then quote that same post for a different section and post it separately.)

[mastina]

(I normally don't do that, naturally, but here I actually can given incentive to now that I know it's advantageous to do so.)

[mastina]

regardless let's just lynch scum and handle the future later i guess
VOTE: Pine

Sure--after we trigger the PenguinPower condition.

We wanna make history this game after all.

[mastina]

So... why aren’t we spamming this thread to dust now?

I am now!

[mastina]

Like seriously

I can help double it by quoting basically every post with a response.

[mastina]

Pages

That does present a bit of a challenge, I do admit.

Longest game ever was, what, 500? 700? And it was a large theme, soooo.

Difficult.

[mastina]

Difficult.

(Difficult, not impossible.)

hi I think we're at like 111 posters rn? could someone please post with two alts before hammer? thanks!

We'll get plenty more posters before we reach our goal.

(No deadlines means that even if it took us a year to do so, we COULD in fact get to 1000 pages.)

[mastina]

(Basically, we have as much time as we need. We have all the time in the world.)

[mastina]

I guess 10k isn't too far off

1000 pages is 25k tho.

[mastina]

Best way to get a thousand posts in thread; someone race a theme game through the theme queue. The theme is that everyone who /ins for the game is not a player in this game, and that the game will have its own game thread for naked votes, but all posting for the game happens in this thread. The mod of the game must be someone who reads this post and thinks it's a good idea because players in this game can only discuss this game here so none of us would be eligible to mod let alone play.

But then we would have an INCEPTION and two mafia games would be occuring in this thread

Neat idea, probably not legal tho.

Why is everyone so sleepy today

Well me? I was diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency, so.
Still working on fixing that.

[mastina]

(Also I get less than six hours of sleep on Saturday nights/Sunday mornings, given that I go to bed after midnight and get up at six for work, so.)

Well me? I was diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency, so.
Still working on fixing that.

(For the curious, diagnosis was less than a week ago, taking a vitamin D gummy now because apparently the multivitamin wasn't enough vitamin D, trying also to drink more fortified whole milk even though I drink plenty already, because I figure I gotta do everything possible to bump it up if my experience with my previous vitamin B12 deficiency is any indicator.)

(Basically for those of you who don't remember: go check my posts around fall of 2018, and what was happening to me CONSTANTLY, NEVERENDINGLY, until my diagnosis in December of the vitamin B12 deficiency. And then realize that I needed to take vitamin B12 IN THREE DIFFERENT FORMS in order to overcome the deficiency.)

[mastina]

(Those ways, for the curious: multivitamin gummy, vitamin B12 gummy, and a liquid sublingual vitamin B12 that I take with coffee.)

[mastina]

(And, by the way: I THINK I'm feeling less sleepy now that I'm doing similar for the vitamin D? Hard to say.)

[mastina]

I think the best way to get to the 1000 is to just spam things. Maybe the shitposters from d1 could give us a second wind here.

Every post I make is a shitpost.

(Small confession tho. This includes my game-long Pine suspicion. I was, legitimately, just trolling with it. )

[mastina]

(No seriously. It's not that I thought he was town, I just didn't bother trying to read him at all. I just decided to scumread him for the lulz. And apparently lucked out. )

[mastina]

what if penguin is pine's scumbuddy?

Is Penguin good at coming up with fake claims?

Who knows but doesn't matter.

Pine is.

Pine knows how to fakeclaim like any good god-tiered scum player would, so.

He fed fakeclaims to his scumbuddy if the mod didn't provide them for him, pretty much guaranteed.

[mastina]

(And maybe even if the mod did.)

[mastina]

Okay

It's alright~

[mastina]

YES

You say YES.
I say NO...

[mastina]

(Btw there was an alternative rock song that I wanted to link to here but fucked if I can remember enough of the lyrics to find the right song. A song containing the line "It's alright" is ridiculously common. This one's pretty sure either an 80s or 90s song, but even that doesn't narrow it down much. )

(This is one of the most popular two-steps ever for round dancing btw.)

[mastina]

(Yes. Two-step. Not mambo. There

are

mambos written to it--plural. But none of them took off; none of them have the popularity of the two-step. Probably because mambo's a minimum of, what? Phase 3? Phase 4? Whereas two-step is a maximum of phase 2 when the minimum to round dance is phase 2. )

And tell bad jokes

A reporter's ghost showed up to his friend, ranting about how he died.

"I don't understand why."

"Well, where were you?"

"I was interviewing a tribe of cannibals for a story."

"Did you do something to offend them?"

"No! I was very careful the entire time, but they never showed me any respect. I was getting frustrated with my lack of progress, and the last thing I can remember is muttering to myself about their lack of respect."

"What did you say exactly?"

"'What am I, chopped liver?'"

[mastina]

And tell bad jokes

Two companion adventurers were drinking in a bar, getting absolutely plastered.
One, a rogue, the other, a knight, both boisterous individuals itching for a fight.
A big burly guy walked into the bar, piquing their interest.
Though when he spoke it became clear he was a simpleton, he still looked strong.
The knight decided to challenge the man to a fight.
The man explained that he was a holyman, and that pointless violence would be against his religion.
The knight insisted on a fight.
Again, the holyman refused.
The knight pushed the holyman to the floor, trying to provoke him.
The holyman still refused to fight back.
The knight pushed the holyman again.
And again, the holyman did nothing to fight back, once more insisting against a pointless fight.
Then the knight drew his sword, threatening to cut the man down if he didn't fight back.
Now threatened, the holy

warrior

manifested a hammer of pure light, bashing the knight's helmet in, knocking him out instantly.
And though the holy warrior might've misheard a word or two through the drunk rogue's heavy accent, what he said would forever be immortalized:
"Oi, you put a dent in me pal!"
