hi

[Keychain]

Happy birthday Bulbazak.

meh. tbf I think you're reading into it a bit much, but I'll still respond even though I can already tell you're going to be unsatisfied with my answer.

I stand by the team I put in the townblock. but as the game evolves, that changes. Do I want bulba to continue with us tomorrow? yep. Should bulba die before lylo? probably, if we follow what math said.
if you've made a decent-sized townblock, someone in there will surely have to go before lylo, or you've fucked up your townblock hard. like, if all that is remaining in the game is the townblock, you're already at a disadv.

basically i'm comfortable with bulbs slot right now. that can, and is allowed to, change.

the response is appreciated.
This could be me misunderstanding what you mean by townblock. I thought the point was generally that you didn't lynch the players in them. idk.

still prefer to lynch xyzzy today. though if someone wants to sell me on another option that isn't Bins/Titus/Dunkers, I'm open.

This thread was locked because Transcend, after getting banned, posted his teams alignments for all unflipped slots in this game topic using an alt account that hadn’t been banned yet. Since at least one other player in the game saw the roles, the integrity of his teams slots has been irrevocably compromised.

As a consequence, Titus, who replaced Transcend, has been converted into a tree stump for the rest of this day phase and will be modkilled at the end of phase. She was

Spoiler:

Vanilla Townie

Because Transcend had already been replaced from his team before he took this action, his former team WILL NOT be penalized beyond the modkills, nor will the slots be converted into neutral survivors.

DO NOT discuss this in thread.

Thread is now unlocked, and day will be extended to seven days from now. Thanks for your understanding about this unfortunate situation.

[Bins]

-.-

and just after I had convinced myself Titus was town

[Bins]

So, am I attacking town by questioning xyzzy or not?

titus town makes me this xyzzy is right

[xyzzy]

my reads are just trash this game*, huh

*every game tbh, I am fundamentally bad at reading people

[Radja]

At least we were right to go 180 on Titus.

This game though...

[Titus]

Can I copy paste from my team's discord in the future since I am mod confirmed town or do I still need to paraphrase?

[Archwing]

Sheeping titus here now.
VOTE: xyzzy

Gonna talk to creature bout this, he wanted me to push Titus but I wasn't super comfortable with that.

[Titus]

VOTE: xyzzy

Why am I worth sheeping?

[Mina]

Ugh, I'm so sorry, Titus. That's such a shitty thing to happen to your team because of one selfish immatute jackass.

At least we didn't lose a lynch because of Mathdino, but thanks for reminding me of why Mafia is terrible!

I want to keep my mouth shut on my reads for a bit longer, but xyzzy, do you have any suggestions whatsoever for who we should lynch if it's not you? Or even reasons you shouldn't be the lynch? I don't think your slot has done any real scumhunting.

[Mina]

Immatute jackasses are even worse than immature ones. <_<

[Titus]

Life happens, so 6 days to solve the game.

Readslist would help.

[DeasVail]

You’re all beautiful people.

[Ellibereth]

DeasVail replaces Chesskid

[Archwing]

Thanks, Deas. You too.
Are you beautiful scum, or beautiful town?

[Archwing]

Why am I worth sheeping?

I was townreading you, but I was hesitant to act on it cause creature had you scumread and wanted me to push you. So I kinda left you alone for awhile. Now that you're conf town I'm allowing myself to align myself with your reads more.

[Keychain]

You’re all beautiful people.

<3 welcome DeasVail!


Going to take me a wee bit to regain enthusiasm for this game so my apologies, but still happy with my xyzzy vote right now. I'll try to get back into it soon.

[DeasVail]

I am having a very crazy day at work when usually I have quite a bit of free time so that’s been a bit of a bummer, but I will be here to hopefully inject a bit of life into this game this afternoon!

I am also town, but hey I am not so sure about the beautiful part.

[DeasVail]

Keychain, could you please give a quick tl;dr of why you think xyzzy is scum? From a very quick glance at your ISO, I could not find anything obvious.

Radja, I think you're town but I've noticed you fairly strongly thought chesskid was scum, so we probably should talk! Also hi!

Bins! In my haphazard reading of select posts of the game I noticed somewhere that you might think Radja is scum. If so, what makes you think that?

[Keychain]

Keychain, could you please give a quick tl;dr of why you think xyzzy is scum? From a very quick glance at your ISO, I could not find anything obvious.

They are voting opportunistically (see jump on Elena wagon end of D2 pointed out by T-Bone in 3122 and choosing to vote Titus over their top scumread Bulbazak today for no apparent reason).

I asked questions about their reads and votes (regarding CBD townread at the end of 2885 and unexplained choice of Titus over Bulba in 3488) and they've avoided them. It's enough to be a pattern. I also had to reask after they ignored 3283 (I waited until they posted to make sure it wasn't just activity related before following up). Sometimes townies don't answer questions because they don't want to, but town that don't like answering questions tend to give me sharper responses when I pressure for an answer than what I got from xyzzy in 3413.

Overall they're playing low profile and their reads don't seem genuine to me.

[DeasVail]

I can agree with a lot of that and I guess I particularly found the reasoning for suspecting Elena pretty questionable when I went through his ISO. There are also a few posts from Aeronaut that I find myself disliking (454, the comments on meta in 459, for example)

Ideally I'd like more from the slot before proclaiming a strong read there though. There's always a difference between obtaining reads by looking back on the game, and obtaining them from at least semi-real time interactions.

I've also realised that it's not all that long before deadline and I'd really like to have a better handle on the game by then than I do currently (there are still a couple of players who I've barely read through, for example!), so I'll try to get a move on. Today was unfortunately not a great day for that, but I'll be back in the morning.
