Mini 1867 -- TBD Mafia [game over]

[Aristophanes]

Thus here be an ego post while I do the form

[Aristophanes]

Dav, I did praise you!

Also, don't you be hating on Carly Rae!

[Aristophanes]

I was so excited I took it and didn't hit the bong at all

That must have been some excitement!

[Aristophanes]

I feel like writing a script to continually submit responses that guess everyone's unique letters so that I can play exactly the game I want.

Oh come on, there are only 456976 possible combinations! If you really wanna put the work into it, just try them all!

[Aristophanes]

Also, I might have done the math wrong. Last time I took probabilities was like 7 years ago.

[Aristophanes]

that's not probabilities that's combinatorics

anyway it's just 26 to the fourth power which is indeed 456976

Named it incorrectly, but at least my math was correct!

You're one smart puppy! I thought you were just a meme poster!

[Aristophanes]

So Dreal, how 'bout that questionnaire?

[Aristophanes]

Aristophanes has died in pregame

He was a Pregame Shit Disturber, Third Party.

Pregame will now continue as scheduled, and he may continue to post until xyxxz gets mad at him for imitating the mod and kills him.

=D

You sir are a gentleman, and I would love to!

I don't know if you remember, but back in March of last year I suggested the same joining of minds! I never heard back and it broke my heart a bit to think you didn't feel the same way about me!

[Aristophanes]

I'm actually blushing

Davsto is rather brilliant, isn't he!
Aristepenes is a great meld!

[Aristophanes]

NOBODY IS BRITTISH HERE THOUGH???

EXCEPT ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Says the guy with Canada as his location...

LAL!
VOTE: KAIN TEPESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

[Aristophanes]

KAIN TEPPES gets priority leap though, I asked her first

Him*

And is there a specific way to play on the forum??

[Aristophanes]

Wait...She???

Kain, are you a lady?? :O

[Aristophanes]

That was pretty impressive!!

Can I jump? I'd feel bad cutting in front of Kain.

[Aristophanes]

should definitely wait

have some practice hops though

*hop*

*hop hop*

I like this! XD

[Aristophanes]

Dammit lane! We were having a good game of leapfrog, and you had to come ruin it

[Aristophanes]

WHY............. I AM A SHE??????????? WHY IS IT IDFFERENT

Iunno, were you hacked!?

You supposedly Canadian yet British supposedly female male!

Or did you change it yourself yo?

[Aristophanes]

Lady TEPES does have a nice ring to it

[Aristophanes]

KAIN TEPPES gets priority leap though, I asked her first

Him*

And is there a specific way to play on the forum??

NO! We now refer to KAIN TEPES as Lady Kain Tepes, Dame of The Thousand Shitposts

in REAL LIFE i am Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ed BALLS,,

Sometimes I can't reply because I don't know wtf you just said...
But cool, sounds like fun(?)

[Aristophanes]

First.

Edit-ninjad

Prodge

And I thought I was low content...

[Aristophanes]

So, how many votes does Davsto have?

Because I'd lolhammer if it were anyone else.
I miss his whit though!

[Aristophanes]

why the vote on mcmenno?

mcmenno, did you poop inside or something?

Can you tell me why you showed concern twice for votes on mcmenno but haven't asked about any other votes?

not really in that context/the way you are framing that, no
I didn't even realize I'd done that until you pointed it out
I was just curious about them more than others, I'd guess (or that I understood others more than those), but there was no "focus" on them for me other than the votes drew my attention

upon reflection now - I have noticed that he gets voted a lot on D1, and I don't quite understand it, and with that knowledge I do think scum may feel they're more likely to get a D1 mislynch on mcmenno than someone else

so maybe it was a subconscious defense of him, having seen that pattern happen in the past and balked at it because I don't understand (that is something I do all the time, in life, balk at what I don't understand if it keeps happening)

Eww

VOTE: Dreal

[Aristophanes]

I think you're fishing for information and you don't care what it is because you're just going to do what you can to make whoever you want look scummy for whatever shit you can come up with

which is why I asked repeatedly what your reasons were, and now your reason is "it just sounds interesting to know"

nooop

VOTE: kain teppes

Even more eww. Dreal is scumzz

[Aristophanes]

Break it down for me Ari. I'm not too keen on eww posting.

Does that not read as disgusting scumposting to you??

[Aristophanes]

But fine. First quote he waaaay overexplains what should be a somple answer. Like "Oh shit, so I did!" would have sufficed. He goes into meta and subconscious reasoning which reads as overly defensive without need.

In the second, it is pure discrediting of Kain. He wouldn't ask if he didn't have a reason, and claiming rolefishing is ridiculous when Dreal himself mused lying both to Kain and to the questionnaire. It jus isn't hte stance of a towny.

[Aristophanes]

I mean, Kain can easily be discounted in a lot of as, but he shouldn't be. And he's making a bold effort here, which should be recognized and not quashed.

As for the quote you posted, what pinged you there?

[Aristophanes]

Ah, classic redacted reasoning.

JT is being aggressive, and I love it!

[Aristophanes]

Ah, classic redacted reasoning.

KT is being aggressive, and I love it!

Are you suggesting KT wouldn't do that? Or are you shading me?

I wasn't intentionally shading if that's how it seemed...

[Aristophanes]

I read 255 as being completely sarcastic.

Oh! No, just the first line

It was just a fly by comment about how little that helps us lol

[Aristophanes]

@xyzzy,
I noticed

[Aristophanes]

answer KainTepes

I forgot to do this. It is well known (or at least, I don't make is unknown) that SK is my favourite role. I enjoy third party play in general, thus it is my preference.

Me too. Did you get it? I didn't

I wish man!!

[Aristophanes]

I don't know Kain, I'm with lane here.

[Aristophanes]

V/LA until tuesday
in other news, why are you voting dreal

Better question: why are you not?

[Aristophanes]

OMG A Shiny Tepes!!!

[Aristophanes]

IGMEOY

It took longer than it should have for me to figure out what this meant. Usually we just call it an FoS (Finger of Suspicion). IGMEOY works though lol

[Aristophanes]

Welcome Azral!

We're the answers given in the questionnaire by your previous slot-holder released to you?

[Aristophanes]

lane wants to be a mod
lane should sign up to mod

/prein

[Aristophanes]

If you've read my ISO then you would have seen the reads I've seen fit to divulge. They are reads I feel strongly enough about to give and support if necessary. If I haven't given a read on someone, it's because they don't lean one way or the other yet, or there's conflicting information, or any other of a number of reasons why I wouldn't have given a read on someone yet.

Who are the ones you're most conflicted on and why?

I get the "null for lack of a read" slots not being discussed, but "null due to conflicted info" should definitely be brought up!

[Aristophanes]

you guys are making me feel so old

Are you??

[Aristophanes]

"HEY," SOMEONE SAYS. "I THINK WE NEED TO ASK ONE IMPORTANT QUESTION: WHAT IS THE OMNIPOTENT VOICE IN THE SKY'S OPINION ON THE DOG/CAT DEBATE?"

"IT'S CATS," SAYS THE OMNIPOTENT VOICE IN THE SKY. "ALWAYS CATS."hey," someone says. "I think we need to ask one important question: what is the omnipotent voice in the sky's opinion on the dog/cat debate?""it's cats," says the omnipotent voice in the sky. "always cats."

<3

[Aristophanes]

Kain - I'd question anyone who has a clear read here

Narna - He's gotten several top town reads; I haven't seen anything either way

Kain can be read, it justtakes a bit of effort. A "clear" read is rare though.

What do you think of Narna's tone and approach to the game? They seem to be narrating more than giving opinions (with a few exceptions) and playing it rather safe in general. In my quick Iso of them, I saw a lot of almost content, but not much that really had anything to it.

[Aristophanes]

you guys are making me feel so old

Are you??

aren't we all

Best one yet! XD

[Aristophanes]

to me that is often how it goes on D1 though

I often get shit for weak-ass reads on D1 and I'm like "I can't fake having a stronger read when it's not there, it's early in the game, I'll be patient and let them develop"

I know, but it's not just weak ass reads. That I get. It's a lack of engagement in the game that is pinging me!

Take a read there. It's a quick Iso to do. Tell me what you see.

[Aristophanes]

I AM KAIN TEPES

Wait...since when!?

I thought you were Not_Mafia!

[Aristophanes]

Me consistently townreading the three leading wagons and then declaring all three of the leading wagons being on town (with the implication being that we should go another direction) isn't elaborating on it?

I don't see the town motivation from Dreal. Lane I agree with, and Dav I'm still sorting but want to play with longer, so not voting there.

Tell me fhy you townread them.

[Aristophanes]

Lmfao Drealmerz7.
Yes, I used your full name.
Take a step back yourself and read slowly.

Desperado is saying that this behaviour should be punished regardless of alignment. He doesn't care if it is town or scum. He isn't caring to make a read on it. It is punishable behaviour which he is going to punish.

This is called a policy lynch, and PLs are placed regardless of alignment.

Your lack of ability to understand this confounds me.

[Aristophanes]

Is that not what he is saying??
This is what I've understood from the start and I don't think it's an outlandish thing to think.
Read his words, read what they imply, and fucking deal with it!

[Aristophanes]

I have explained why McMenno's active lurking is scummy multiple times.

He really has. I've highlighted the instances below.

you didn't address my point

I don't care if McMenno has been lynchbait in the past or whatever your experience with him. In this game his active lurking and lack of engagement are scummy.

you are evading

why is it scummy here and not at other times?

what makes it scummy here

how can I learn to differentiate between the two? tell me what you see is what I'm asking

quit evading

Not following your meta read that amounts to "he gets lynched a lot d1" doesn't mean I'm evading. I legitimately don't care.

It's not a matter of learning to differentiate, it's a matter of lynching what's scummy. And being active while not adding anything substantive, especially when you should be a part of the discussion but you aren't, is scummy.

@ Dreal, relax man. I'm not evading anything.

McMenno is active lurking and is not even bothering to attempt to solve the game.

^Scumtells. I think he's scum. I want to lynch him for playing this game in a scummy way, because that's what you fucking do in Mafia. You lynch people who do scummy things.

Him lurking in a previous game and flipping town is irrelevant.

This all clearly states that he believes McMeemo is playing in a scummy fashion, and therefore that he must be lynched.
That is a PL.

Yes, it is giving him a scumread, but I think he is overstating it because you have pestered him about it so much.
Like, it reads as 90% PL for antitown play, 10% scumread.

Have I helped clarify things or are you gonna get all yelly again.

[Aristophanes]

Maybe we all should have tried to understand him instead of jumping down his throat like this. Then we could all move on with our lives.

A big fight about it makes it look like you're providing content when really you're stalling conversation and holding game progress for ransom.

Thus Dreal is scum.

[Aristophanes]

It seems likely to me that he's misrepresenting Desperado, Azral.

He was not giving a runaround. Dreal wasn't trying to understand and is accusing Despo of trolling when it's clearly not the case.

[Aristophanes]

Zeif, you have 29 posts this game? Wtf!?

What is your take on all this?
I'd love to hear your opinion on it.

[Aristophanes]

No, I mean you're projecting your own interpretation onto Desp's posts to try to make sense of his read. But without Desp actually saying the words, that's all it is and quite likely to be wrong. Is he the type to recommend we just policy lynch all the active lurkers? I kind of doubt it.

Didn't I already comment on the fact that I could, in theory, be wrong?

If not, then I shall now.
I am signing off for the evening anyway, but I guess it would be wise to wait for Despo to weigh in.
I don't see how this can be interpreted in any other way though.

[Aristophanes]

tilt someone else's windmill.

Dafuq does this mean!?

[Aristophanes]

aristophanes I thought we were going to be active lurking this game get your shit together please

You kill me sometimes XD

[Aristophanes]

Kain, was most of that supposed to be a quote and how to did you Ness that up!?

[Aristophanes]

And dreal still hasn't explained how his read on davsto went from town to scum in a matter of 1 post

It's because he's scum. JS.

[Aristophanes]

Ari posts continue to ping me something fierce.

What is making the Ping?

[Aristophanes]

Davsto why have you left me here all alone?

[Aristophanes]

Davsto why have you left me here all alone?

Dreal wagon dissolving with lane unvoting (partly because dreal seems to have been posting less lately, what a coincidence!), McMenno is scummy and got an extra vote and is more reasonable to get a vote on within the 4 days, whereas it may take more time to convince a majority about dreal.

Valid. I'll see about a deadline vote switch, but I hate unvoting scum.

[Aristophanes]

aristatuephanes

You are a beautiful soul! XD

[Aristophanes]

HELLO HUMANS

A wild Tepes appeared!

[Aristophanes]

In all seriousness KAIN TEPES I've never seen you before this game but I think you are one of the most hilarious posters on MS.

It's just I have this silly win condition that requires me to sort hilarious town from hilarious scum and that's why I'd very much appreciate some reads from you.

Good luck

[Aristophanes]

V/LA until Monday
Camping all weekend

[Aristophanes]

9v2v2 is effectively 9v4, McMenno and Ari are just traitors that aren't actually aligned with scum. Lynching them is absolutely advancing your wincon if you are town.

Lynching us just extened the amount of work you need to do.
You know we are not scum, so look elsewhere before you just eat us alive!

[Aristophanes]

NVM.
The Kain Tepes annihilated my friend.

[Aristophanes]

Also, Mason claim would have been brilliant

[Aristophanes]

Release away! I always assume PTs are going public!

Also, Davsto, I will never forgive you for shooting me!
