Something rather unfortunate was found inside our role pm.
We have a posting restriction, and it is mean.
All of our posts must have correct capitalization. Each post must end in appropriate punctuation. We are not allowed to post run on sentences or sentence fragments.
Before I opened my pole pm, I thought that both cabd and ffery thought of me as a friend. Now I see that they both wish me harm.
They have granted us a simple reprieve, and they have allowed for the use of emojis.
I am considering making post using only emojis if I feel the need to comment on something while phone posting However, that is something to consider when that moment comes.-

I believe that both of their accounts are listed without capitalization. I assume that account names should match the punctuation that the user entered when making the account.In post 32, Suripoko wrote:
That would mean that "morph the cat" and "skitter30" would not be capitalized, while "Shiro" and "Rogue" would need to be capitalized.
However, that post is already going to count as an infraction because there is no period at the end of one of my sentences.
I am also realizing that they have created a lot of extra work for themselves. Now they have to check all of my posts. Maybe it is as mean to them as it is to us.-

I do not like this.In post 17, mastina wrote:Proxy vote to: Lady Lambdadelta
I'll vote whoever LLD does (even if it's me).
Peace offering: I promise never to vote LLD prior to D3-at-earliest (barring guilties on her). I reserve right to state suspicion, but promise not to act on it, and the proxy vote is proof of commitment to this promise.
If you think that someone is a member of the mafia, voting them out is playing to your win condition if you are a member of the town.
I doubt Lady Lambdadelta would want you to play soft ball with her.-

When I followed up with the mods about our restriction, I was explicitly told that I could not use text abbreviations such as "brb".In post 46, Rogue wrote:Can you not abbreviate names either?
I did not think to ask about abbreviating account names, so I decided to play it safe in my recent post.-

Good evening everybody!
This statement made me cry, it's very rude.In post 30, Rogue wrote:it’s going to be hard on marci
I'm kidding, I do see how people will think this is tough for me but I will prove everybody wrong because of my solid game plan.
I will see you all later and post again when I feel like there's something actually interesting to talk about, au revoir!

I could make a response to this that would come across extremely sarcastic, but the energy is hard to replicate while trying to maintain our posting restriction.In post 72, T3 wrote:marci seems very subdued. I wonder why.
It would be about you seeing that Marci has a posting restriction, and you also knowing how Marci normally posts. The implication being that you really should not be surprised that her posting is different than usual, given the circumstances.
The implication of said post would be that you are either not thinking very critically about what you just said here, or that you are just looking to shade her for any reason.
But, like I said, it is hard to capture the energy I want to give off using this restriction. Therefore, I will skip making such a post.-

This move does not match T3's first move in post [post]60[/post], or Dwlee99's move in post 61.
But it does match T3's move in post 62.
I don't know if their posts have anything to do with the move made by the mods.
Does anyone know anything about the chess game?-

I am happy with my role, even given the posting restriction. However, the posting restriction was not expected. Comparing it to your experience with Isekai would not be accurate.
I am not sure what you mean by "the amount of focus and attention" that we are putting into it.
Do you really think that we would ignore the restriction? I play to win my games regardless of my alignment, and that includes trying my best to adhere to this restriction.-

I literally cannot fathom a world in which.. this doesn't track to me, for you to get this and the chosen subreddit...
It doesn't track, and your interaction with the post restriction is suspect tbh
Our subreddit choice has nothing to do with grammar, and I did not expect a posting restriction from it. However, I do see the joke that Cabd used to justify the restriction.
I feel like the moment you see our subreddit choice, it would click into place for you. Let me talk to Marci to see if she is okay with us flavor claiming.-

I don't know the harm in flavor claiming, and Marci has agreed. I don't know that anyone would guess our abilities based on the flavor.
Our subreddit choice was r/CatsInBusinessAttire.
We chose it for obvious reasons.
As business professionals it is important that that level of professionalism shows in our writing.
Cabd made a joke, and we got a restriction.-

Skitter's prgression on us felt more natural in comparison.
My gut reaction to the situation was the jjh's was a pocket attempt hiding behind Skitter's initial defense.
This seems like a fair observation.In post 118, skitter30 wrote:Idk if marci goes along with such a fake post restriction tbh

I find it weird that you see any player as "well over my day 1 bar for towniness" on page 5.In post 149, jjh927 wrote:Why do you think it's weird that I am happy to defend a stated townread from a push with a role related angle? Is it because you are voting me? Should I be more unwilling to TR you because you voted me? Uncool people are frequently town
I also find it weird that that was your response to Lady Lambdadelta's post 117.
It did not engage with the actual reasoning that she gave to call it suspicious. It just called us town, and therefore Lady Lambdadelta's point was wrong.
To again compare your response to Skitter's, Skitter's post showed that she was actually thinking about Lady Lambdadelta's point and thinking about whether we would fake it. Would Marci agree to this? Would Luke try to talk her into it anyways?-

I am scum reading you, Mastina, and jjh. Although Marci's read on jjh spontaneously changed a couple games ago, and she disagrees with me.
Cakez and StrangeMatter are two that I am keeping an eye on, but I would not call either a scum read yet.
I have had zero thoughts about Suripoko.-

I am leaning town on LLD as well, but feel the need to defend my honor.In post 294, That Idiot Ivan wrote:I think part of the townsense is because I'm lightly townreading The Bombay, and if this was scum-LLD pushing them, I don't think she'd back off and pivot so quickly. Her force of personality here is stronger than theirs
LLD has attempted to kill me in every single game that we have played together.
In Bloodstained, she tried to kill me and failed.
In Gensokyo, she tried to kill me and failed.
There were extenuating circumstances for me dying in Isekai. Specifically, there was a mechanic in place where the scum team was able to predict who would be eliminated, and they were rewarded if correct. Therefore, we were scared to kill our top scum read. I was a paranoia elimination, and I even self voted.
I am extremely difficult to miseliminate; that Isekai game is my only miselimination ever (and again, there were other factors that made it happen). I think my force of personality is plenty strong enough to stand up to LLD if needed.
------
All that being said, I am also leaning town on LLD. Given our history, I don't think that she would choose me as her initial push if she were scum, because she would know that I am hard to eliminate. I also don't think that she would have chosen this particular angle to push even if she did decide to see if she could make it happen, because scum LLD would already know that the restriction is true.
Furthermore, having seen LLD and Cabd's discussion about her role in the Isekai game in the post-game, the way she was thinking about my role makes sense to me.
-----
As an aside, I confirmed with the mods that I can abbreviate her name to LLD.

Well, putting it that way I have played games with them and seen their scum gameplay, been fooled by them before, and have seen more of their scum games than games I've played with people I have played with in this game.

You taking 83 as a serious read makes me question if you are really looking that critically at our posts before dropping us into your scummiest scum tier.-

So Rouge made not one, not two, but three rickroll style posts 81, 95, 102, and I responded with joke anger at having been successfully rickrolled. Rogue is your towniest of town reads, but me joking back around with him is part of your evidence that I am the scummiest player in the game?In post 352, mastina wrote:
Perhaps my usage of the term 'reads' was too restrictive.In post 346, The Bombay wrote:44 was not a read. It was a response. I don't like the idea of the proxy vote, but I was not saying that you doing the proxy vote was scummy.
83 was not a read. It was a joke vote, because I got rick rolled. That was made explicit in post 85 and again in 87.
I didn't strictly mean reads, so much as "content of posts".
Your 44 and 83 might not be reads (and yes I am fully aware they were not reads)--but the content of the posts still fit the same pattern as your stated reads. As a reiterating, I found both 44 and 83? To be: not genuine. Looks faked, surface-level interactions, and forced. More like trying to appear as town(/scumhunting), rather than being genuine. I linked them because they still fit the pattern shown even if they are strictly speaking not reads in of themselves. They still show the lack of genuine depth I'd expect from a town player.
To be fair, I don't think that my response was a town indicative one. I am pretty sure that I would have responded to Notty posting a rickroll link the exact same way if I were scum. But it does feel strange for you to look at that interaction, declare that my half of the interaction was a surface level, scummy interaction, but that Rogue is obviously town.

I was in a "monkery" with Mastina, and she did not claim to be a mason (or a monk for that matter). To be fair, it makes more sense to not claim it when you are actually in one.In post 407, jjh927 wrote:That is a surprise
Well, FYI, Mastina frequently memeclaims mason, particularly if she is in a neighbourhood that is not a masonry, although inevitably also in the event that she was an actual mason or similarly functioning role (however the likelihood of this scenario is statistically low)
This is a pointless observation. If she fake claims it enough for you to say this, it is moot. I just found it interesting in an NAI kind of way.

T3, there is quite a lot that I am not following.
What made you think that dwlee knew too much? Was it post 465?
Even if it does make him a player, why does that make him scum? Do you have reason to believe that one of the players must be scum?
Do you think that the town or the scum player won?-
