Open 784 - Hard-Boiled (Town Wins!)

[word321]

announcement!!!

Aristophanes replaces votato!!

Big shoes that I will not be filling btw

Fucking more anime people.....ok.

*deep breath*

Welcome presumably not pervy person!

haha! my favourite is when dudes have an anime girl as their avatar and complain when people assume they are not dudes.

Ah, this happens all the time
Aristophane being called ari dsnt rly help either

[word321]

either way, im ok with finishing the day for now
after mara claims and deimls manifests himself, that is

[Marashu]

i'm fine with marashu claiming, only on the proviso that if he claims vanilla we actually lynch him. I'm fking sick of these setups where we just run up a bunch of people and out all the PRs.

Well, I am claiming VT, so what happens happens. My elimination might not be a bad thing in that regard (except for the fact that it's a miselimination), because it should at least give context to my wagon and some of the reads on me. I'd rather be an early miseliminationthan than a late miselimination, and more than either I want to win, so if my elimination helps town get the info we need to win, then so be it.

I feel like Nash is coasting, which is why I want more pressure there. I'm actually kinda feeling Worcestershire as scum - I thought that Nash's point on cognitive load was pretty on point, and resonates with past games I've played as scum. I just didn't think that will gain traction with so many people seemingly TRing Worce.

[word321]

hmm
I find that Nash is mlre akin with bein a Nail
that is, a hammerbait
HAHHAHAHA
now u can make bad jokes with it
but it was like the worst moment a scum would have chosen to join a wagon

[Looker]

• I want in that Speakeasy group

I'm curious what the hold-up is. I could see if we had a competing wagon, but we just have people not voting at all.

Request Speakeasy access here

(I hope the link works)

[Aristophanes]

Oh, and the delay is so we can finish conversing for the day.

[Tuxedo Mask]

VOTE: Marashu

Welcome.

Pedit: Anime is trash, I'd never be connected with something so cringe. We should make an anti-anime town block.

Okay, you I like! This is very funny!

Could you fill me in on why Marashu is now at El-2?
(I'm trying out new terms) (I chose "El" because it is pronounced the same in my head as "L" and stands easily in for "Elimination") (I can use "H" is that is the standard this game tho)

For me? I'm sheeping Superbowl, I liked their reasons for voting Marashu. His points about Marashu pivoting to Nash was something that specifically stood out to me.

I need to reengage into this game and plan on doing a reread, but I think it would be a good use of my energy to wait till after a flip/when the replacements have had more time in the game.

My only hesitation on Marashu is that the same group of players got a lot of traction on wagons for Marashu and Pi. So something pings me about that and kind of makes me feel it is scum Midari/PP indictive, but I've never done VCA before so I don't feel too strong in that gut feeling.

Anyways, I can deal with this all tomorrow. Let's just move on.
VOTE: Marashu

[word321]

deimos should have taken a stance first, pal

[word321]

u let him disasociate upon flip, independent of the color, and that is bad practice

[Marashu]

VOTE: Marashu

VOTE: Marashu

You've voted for me in your last 3 posts. I don't think it counts as a hammer.

[word321]

oh, it rly is not a hammer

[Aristophanes]

VCA isn't a D1 thing dw Tuxedo.

And don't worry, I get called a girl unironically irl all the time. Despite strongly advocating for proper pronouns on others, I don't care when it comes to myself.

Also also, I called myself "old and wise" because of my joindate.
The sheer number of mafia games I've played should tell you that I am not as wise as I like to think. Old, well that's up for debate!

Also, that was hammer, eh?
So much for waiting for duscussion to wrap up for the day...

[Tuxedo Mask]

Naw it doesn't. But I like Word's reaction, honestly, I like a lot of what Word has been putting out recently.

UNVOTE: Marashu I don't think I'm comfortable with them being lynched at the moment.

[Tuxedo Mask]

VCA isn't a D1 thing dw Tuxedo.

Yeah, I get that. Same as doing association reads preflips, but still got that feeling in my gut you know? The competing wagons are so oddly segregated in voters.

[Aristophanes]

Shit okay, Tuxedo Town methinks

[Deimos27]

Yoyoyoyoyo I've harnessed the energy to actually play the game

[Doctor Drew]

Hey guys, don't really have the energy to catch up to today's activities, and gotta be up early tomorrow. I may come back tonight, but more likely tomorrow.

[Deimos27]

And by "play the game" I mean read up and maybe give superficial thoughts because it's high-key almost 5am and I need sleep lmaooooo

Tell me about it. I didn't get to sleep till 7 am last night (which would today.)

[Deimos27]

Spoiler:

Regarding my participation in the game, I have nothing relevant to share and I do not intend to invent anything to create the false impression of activity.

So you have no thoughts on the game.
Awesome. Great job. Happy with this thus far.

The fact that we can't look past a little slip of not seeing something and me moving because "heat" I find a bit disturbing as I'm not sure how many games you have been apart of where "oh that was a hammer" has happened in games you have been in. I've been around long enough to have it happen more times then I want to admit. Call it what you want. It's mildly infuriating.


I don't understand what superbowl9 is getting at roughly with the town block and what have you and what not l. Maybe I'm a bit delusional but I would expect everyone's reads to change at some point in this game otherwise this is going to get ugly quickly.

Heavy townping from this, don't think noobish scum with heavy cognitive load would see big backlash from a clear mistake and say "Why cant we move past this little slip??" Scum would try to justify more

I like this

I couldn't disagree more. I find it infinitely more likely that newbie-scum would prefer to play something down and plead for people to look the other way, rather than properly defending their actions. It's an approach designed to avoid scrutiny. Further, the fact Midari terms it a "slip" pings me, as well as the general language use. "Disturbing"? "infuriating"? It's all unnecessarily emotive language.

I see your point, but I don't think scum want to get emotional when someone pushes them. I do think noob scum would try to divert attention, but I think they would at least try to explain it - I'm almost making a too scum to be scum argument here ig.

I'm reviving a pretty outdated argument but I wanted to comment on this because I feel like there's merit to the idea that scum would be self-conscious about describing their behaviour as a "slip". Like the general emotive stuff can be an NAI personality trait but going so far as to say what they did was a "slip", a hella charged term in mafia, is a pretty weird attempt at AtE or avoiding scrutiny.

[Deimos27]

No matter how many times I read word's case I don't really see how anything Midari said is outside their town range, judging by what I expect from the personality they've exhibited (and personality/competence really is what I'm referring to when I say they come off as "noobtown", not experience). Some stuff is surface-level scummy like flinging their vote about sort of opportunistically with flimsy reasoning, but how often does that behaviour actually come from scum. I at least don't recall seeing anything so brazen.
