Hollow Knight Mafia [game over]

[Mistyx]

hahahaha FOOLS

You scum know not what you are dealing with. Prepare to face the wrath of Mistyx the Mighty, carrier of villages, ender of scum! Tremble before me!

[Mistyx]

Gonna be a fun game guys.

I rolled scum.

Now I ask to be named king of this thread. I have already taken over the scum PT by spamming it to death while DATISI forever in how long he takes to start games, sat idly by.

This is my Hollow Kingdom. Bow before me peasants.

As your benevolent scum king I may give away one of my allies. MAY
You have to prove yourselves worthy of my charity though.

Ha! Fool, you have already exposed your weakness. Your reign of terror shall come to an end before it has even begun!

Prepare to taste the wrath of my Life Ender!

[Mistyx]

cakez taly gut town

i don't really like vp's posts so far it seems like he's just trying to cast doubt on standing reads without providing any of his own

VOTE: VP Baltar

[Mistyx]

i don't know why i'm still a cat but i don't feel like changing this

[Mistyx]

hi csf

[Mistyx]

why are vp's posts bad /gen

did you miss my explanation or are you looking for more

[Mistyx]

hi i brain empty'd out catching up but i probably won't post much today sorry

[Mistyx]

also two people in my blind spot - Lycan and Mistyxx
who are you?

who are you?

[Mistyx]

saving my place at top of page 24

think lycan is town for reasons I’ll think are bad if i explain

[Mistyx]

i have good vibes from klick but i think i also just naturally get good vibes from klick

idk i don't think i have anything useful to say today so im just gonna leave until my brain starts working again

[Mistyx]

oh yeah my hot take is that furtive's handling of taly might be scummy but im nowhere near confident on that just all the "if you dont see taly is obvtown you're openwolfing" felt overblown

[Mistyx]

hi im playing pokemon but i caught up

VOTE: Ari

wanna go here rn i think decent odds this is scum struggling to make serious content

what's up with the change in your csf read?

what are you seeing there

[Mistyx]

bad read of me and probably on ari

why do you think my read on ari is probably bad?

[Mistyx]

i have no idea why three separate people went out of their way to call cakez's ari scumread awful

[Mistyx]

i feel like im playing a different game than everyone else again

ig i just haven't gotten into it

kinda wanted to gut call that red post that vp just quoted bad but not really feeling it other than "i think those two slots are where scum are pushing rn" which i dont really have much to back up

[Mistyx]

saving my place at top of page 24

think lycan is town for reasons I’ll think are bad if i explain

can you fill us in here? lycan had made 4 posts when you said this

people were pushing lycan who had 4 posts and ignoring me who had probably less meaningful stuff to say by that point

so therefore i think lycan scum is relatively less likely

[Mistyx]

hi csf

what are you thinking about klick rn

[Mistyx]

okay

do you want to elaborate or do you have any questions for me

[Mistyx]

Is this basically why you think scum are pushing Lycanfire/Cakez?

i just think theyre the easiest people to push rn

though ig that makes ari probably town if thats true

mm

[Mistyx]

idk ill be back tomorrow

dont think i have anything useful to contribute tonight but ill keep trying

[Mistyx]

hi i forgot how busy today was gonna be for me

i'm around now

[Mistyx]

Can you give independent reads on these players?

will you be upset if the answer is "no"

[Mistyx]

cakez voting me feels like town

really just overall genuine seeming read progression in that entire stretch of posts

[Mistyx]

the way csf continued the interaction w/ me after i already left also makes me think town

id probably vote redff rn but can't put too many words to it? other than the cakez/lycan stuff pinging me and his cakez push just feels kind of like an approach that scum would take here

[Mistyx]

cakez voting me feels like town

can you help put some details to this read.

which cakes post feel very townie to you and why are they not likely to come from him as mafia?

1039 feels like town entitlement, 1078 is a good response imo, like 1121 too bc the frustration feels kinda genuine esp w/ the earlier concerns about backpedaling

and i think he way he pivoted into voting onto me felt like it was a genuine scumread that he wanted to pursue

[Mistyx]

it would be funny if she was talking about herself when she said "wanna go here rn i think decent odds this is scum struggling to make serious content"

when she made that comment i literally thought it was projection

all of my reads are projection sometimes they're just projection from other games

[Mistyx]

Mistyxx is hard town

?

[Mistyx]

and i think he way he pivoted into voting onto me felt like it was a genuine scumread that he wanted to pursue

why would he scumread you if you're one of the few people who voted with him on me and he hasn't even decided that I'm town yet.

i really don't think the average town player cares much about that

in fact i would go so far as to say that makes him more likely town bc i feel like he'd be more likely to care about that as scum

[Mistyx]

i love disagreeing with people

[Mistyx]

cakez wagon seems to have lost momentum without him really doing anything?

VOTE: redFF

[Mistyx]

mistyx - this player is in this game? null i guess

redFF has just gained partner equity with mistyx just for this, and with asri for their weird af interaction. I'm happy w my vote.

i also kind of hate this post but maybe thats just omgus

[Mistyx]

lmao.

me and gimli??? huh?

yea

what's confusing about that

[Mistyx]

why do you think this

my gut says so

[Mistyx]

Can you give independent reads on these players [Lycanfire/SirCakez]?

will you be upset if the answer is "no"

Not upset lol, but I was a bit wary that you've been pretty good about giving independent reads on most players, but not when it comes to the two players that I happen to scumread

But I see you gave one on Cakez right after this lol

Can I bother you for a read on Lycan :)

pretty neutral tbh

i don't have much to say there in terms of their actual posts
maybe slightly >rand scum to say "i'm hyped for this playerlist" then lowpost but also totally willing to chalk it up to oog

[Mistyx]

why don't you search for scum inside your wagon instead of on one of the only people who are actually townreading you?

i now want to vote this because this looks like scum mad over a failed pocket

[Mistyx]

red gimli are like

both obvious w/w and obviously not w/w

and its so weird to read into

[Mistyx]

maybe red is just mafia who is interacting weird with gimli

ig that probably makes more sense

[Mistyx]

do they need to go because their gimmick is making them marginally harder to read or because their posts are bad

because if it's the latter fair enough but i think the former is kinda meh

[Mistyx]

This one won't answer you, Black.

i mean you've basically refused to elaborate on ~all of your reads for the past half of your iso?

so i'm not sure what you're trying to do

[Mistyx]

From what I remember playing with her she didn't like playing the alignment in the first place.

still do it's just for different reasons nowadays

[Mistyx]

i think asri's posting around vpb recently is town indicative

i'm not certain the read is correct but i think it comes from a town perspective

[Mistyx]

so i just realized i thought fireisredsir and firebringer were the same person

[Mistyx]

i hope red is a wolf and i get wagoned and killed while being right on him because "oh i didn't want to kill him d1 on his first game back and his posts were funny"

[Mistyx]

actually i hope red is a wolf and he gets wagoned and killed and i get praised for being good at mafia but then i get to complain less in postgame so im not sure thats really as fun of an option

[Mistyx]

yeah thats why this is only happening in my fantasy

[Mistyx]

i went through cakez iso to see if i could predict who he would protect

i think it would be actiondan

i am curious if you had an idea in mind of anyone else that you put in your townlist when you started this exercise

[Mistyx]

i am curious if you had an idea in mind of anyone else that you put in your townlist when you started this exercise

MT and Asri would have been choices in my townlist as well

i meant like

who you thought they would pick

[Mistyx]

is free a verb or an adjective in this context ive been wondering this the entire time

[Mistyx]

misty what's up what are your strongest opinions in this game

redff mafia
asri cakez csf town

[Mistyx]

I was just going to say 1917 feels odd in who misty's choosing to focus on

you asked me for my strongest takes so i gave them there wasnt much choice in how i approached them

[Mistyx]

my fav pokemon game is a fan game

ive been slowly making my way through reborn and just got to e19 content

hoping to beat the game soon ish

[Mistyx]

Misty and Dan/Lycan are both null reads for now. I think I lean voting Misty

gut check says this is a wolf post

hey klick what's with you having such a confident tr here

(no this post is not the only thing that made me ask but it is maybe the most tangible)

[Mistyx]

What's scummy? That I null read you or that I would rather vote for you?

mostly just the way it's presented it feels like the kind of hands off stance id see scum taking in this scenario

[Mistyx]

my fav pokemon game is a fan game

ive been slowly making my way through reborn and just got to e19 content

hoping to beat the game soon ish

did you play through the game from the start. Really recommended to do that for e19 early game is so much more different

yeah i did

liked basically ~all the changes but at points it felt like they didnt really do enough (mostly with fern tbh)

Ya I'm interested to hear about the experience. Post game really helps really conclude every character's journey throughout the game and is one of the best post game experiences I've had in a pokemon game very worth.

Did you do dex quest and what was the hardest fight for ya so far?

nah didnt do dex quest at all

idk about hardest fight i took a massive break before titania so i dont remember anything before her that well but ngl it was probably that fight

there are some mons that kind of just make a bunch of otherwise pretty hard fights total jokes i've swept multiple of the last major battles with ddance flygon

[Mistyx]

idk about hardest fight i took a massive break before titania so i dont remember anything before her that well but ngl it was probably that fight

Ya that gym is quite difficult cause like for a steel gym one would think to use fire types but the field makes it so fire types become dragon and she has a kelfki that she WILL switch into to neutralize the hit. My only real ground type is Mamoswine. I ended up getting backed into a corner through making a lot of bad plays, and her empoleon was staring down my aegislash. She didn't burn my aegislash so I was able to get into a position where I set up multiple swords dances and just went hard but if not for aegislash I probably don't do that first try.

yeah i ended up mostly getting through it with sacred sword aegislash

It then took me 11 tries to defeat Amaria. I opted for the doubles fight since that's my preferred format.

it took me 3 because i brought mega abomasnow lol

the first two were doubles and the third was singles

[Mistyx]

was down 3 v 1 and spammed giga drain for the win

[Mistyx]

Did this game suddenly get cool

we just started talking about pokemon

[Mistyx]

y'all are getting deep jeez

[Mistyx]

right it's late and i've already fulfilled my existential crisis quota for the month so im just gonna leave and come back tomorrow

maybe with actual game thoughts

maybe with an update on how im doing in pokemon reborn

we'll see

[Mistyx]

ali go to bed

[Mistyx]

hi i havent read today and am going to be very busy through tuesday

bye

[Mistyx]

im so tunneled on redff lol that reaction to furtive's claim looks so fake

[Mistyx]

im so tunneled on redff lol that reaction to furtive's claim looks so fake

wym ?

the immediate vote with separate justification then backing off when no one else immediately jumped on

[Mistyx]

I guess the reason why I think asri is townie and misty is scummy is because I can see what Asri is trying to do and I can't understand what Misty is trying to do.

yeah i'm ngl you should probably be drawing opposite conclusions from this lol

[Mistyx]

gonna finish catching up but at the point im at i feel inclined to sheep alisae and then reeval when i have more time irl

[Mistyx]

yeah i dont think i really have anything to contribute rn and have pressing homework stuff to definitely not procrastinate on

later

if you have any questions for me feel free to ask & ill answer them when i can

[Mistyx]

Another read I've flipped on is Alisae - I had e as scum towards end of day 1 before I got upset, but the way e has taken command of the town today (especially at day start) feels transparently town. I would be shocked if e pulled this kind of power move as scum - it feels untenable and I feel like I almost never see scum go "okay, I'm taking over as leader, this is our lim pool," etc. I dunno does that make sense?

i think this read is not necessarily correct but is correct in the context of the game after the d1 scum elim (especially because e is hard shielding me and i know i'm town)

[Mistyx]

i was starting to think ari was annoyed no one would push cakez to get the claim she wanted so she resorted to faking a guilty to get it.

i didn't peg her as that stubborn but i was like "huh is that is what is going on here?"

i was also thinking this but i thought it would be -ev to bring up

[Mistyx]

i got vanilla'd

i was formerly zote the mighty, ender of scum, carrier of villages, blah blah blah whatever it doesn't matter anymore im officially washed up

i could poke a player every night. this had no effect. i targeted red n1 and asri last night

[Mistyx]

i am sus of alisae just hard 180ing on me tbh and yesterday made a note that i thought e would do this if e was a wolf here

which is not to say it is not deserved

but i feel like this is just

a line that wolf!ali takes most of the time?

why wouldn't I 180 on you if I'm a villager?

that's not what i'm saying

i think you could totally do it as a villager but you would totally do it as a wolf

[Mistyx]

tbh im kinda checked out bc i feel like i deserve to be in the poe with the reads ive had so far

so shrug

Doesn't that make your point null then

no it just means it's a weaker read

[Mistyx]

I don't think Gimli's role is impossible as a scum role if the vig is required to be passed to town

i'm ngl if this is the case then scum's roles kinda blow

[Mistyx]

insane play gg gimli

sorry i kind of potato'd out after d1 but had fun then
