I’m still waiting for plusJOYED to explain where in this post this AtE occurred?
I remember that feeling like Isis was trying to be friendly and act pockety during this phase. I remember isis saying they SR'd me but then saying im townslipping without explanation which struck me. I guess AtE isn't the best word here, but I still feel like isis is scum and pooky is town

i never said/assumed that. What is a secret lover? I did think this was the final phase here but people convinced me otherwise, mainly by bringing up silent star 1 which i didnt know about

As dusk falls over the land, the animals in the Menagerie realise that they've all been transformed into new forms! The used-to-be-tiger panics as he turns into a dolphin and starts flopping around in the empty and alarmingly water-free cage. This only lasts for a moment, as the floor of the cage opens up like sliding doors, plunging the dolphin into a clean pool of water.

Meanwhile, a rat appears in the octopus's water tank. He
squeaks
in fear as he quickly realises he no longer owns any gills and is quite deep underwater. At the same time, a roaring dragon rises into the air, a collar around her neck displaying the name "Miso". Miso the Dragon
RUMBLES
and engulfs the tank with flames, evaporating just enough water such that it allows the rat to stand in the remaining shallow pool. He collects his breath and scampers up the side to safety. It is unclear whether this was a rescue mission or a failed assassination attempt on the dragon's part.

taylor, why not hop on the biggest wagon if you wanted to get through that phase of the game as fast as possible?
was the largest wagon on a cat?

lover is a role that makes connected players all die together if any of them die. A secret lover would be someone who was not informed that they were afflicted with this condition

You said in one of your posts you thought the game would end after Pooky or I was eliminated, so it's just a rephrasing of your position

In post 862, Kanna wrote:whereas i don't think she would think those points were especially good right now if she was town
why though? why don't the things i'm saying add up? why aren't those points good? you want me to be this like disaster ball of unsuredness that i sometimes become but the disaster ball needs a champion to make sense of all of the loose threads or she's completely useless. if you think i can be useful to town, then help me be useful if you don't think i am. or don't. i get that i am an impossibly high maintenance member of town.
In post 874, Kanna wrote:the tmi thing is also relatively nai, just saying. dru/isis are all good players and i think the best way to catch them out is finding what their motivation is

i think drusilla's motivation today has clearly been to advocate for a pooky elim and looking at the reasons, i find them p shaky. she's better than this. which means it's possible she's covering for isis so we should GO ISIS
could just say this exactly with regards to your push on isis > you covering for pooky. like sure abstractly it could be but i don't know why you find them shaky and this entire line is pure dejavu so.

I didn't break down the townslip into its nuts and bolts because I think most/all the players would follow but you said you thought scum recruitment would happen day 2, and a scum could not possibly think that, because they would already have chatted with their new partner during day 1. My transition in my read on you was based on that being a strong evidence you were town and not based on your vote/pressure being cast on me and wanting to relieve it. I'm now at a juncture where it's important to figure out whether you were lying about thinking the scum teammate was recruited after day 1 because if it's not a lie you're 100% town and if it's a lie you're 99% scum (some people very few people lie as scum please don't be one of those people I beseech everyone)

pedit: drusilla posted something but I'm addressing PLUS

i don't know. i saw that post but i didn't comb through my past games to see how well it held up over a large enough sample size. i think it's a mood dependent thing for me, and perhaps it's a mood more likely to occur when i'm town, but i didn't gather any data.

In post 739, drusilla wrote:

- i think you're giving too much credit to ydrasse for her communications post and linking it to solving the game when it wasn't really that

- the gif shade when communication method is relatively nai. do you really think town are less likely to use gifs? imo, what matters is someone's efforts in getting everyone to understand their specific point
In post 796, drusilla wrote:In post 737, drusilla wrote:

In post 796, drusilla wrote:because ydrasse was trying to communicate about the game or at least to develop a framework for us to communicate about the game within and you were just gif posting. and then you were like 'look we need to reach a consensus!' when you could have been working toward that goal. that's like what scum do.
- again, i think this is putting pooky in the worst possible light esp with "that's what scum do"
In post 796, drusilla wrote:like if you're town you'd help develop a consensus. i think mafia would be far more likely to say, hey look we need to do this. instead of doing it.

who to vote for? for instance. if you care about the lack of consensus votes helping to develop a consensus seems the correct course of action. do you not think anyone was trying to communicate about the game?
- and for this i'm pretty sure he was voting both days, and this is misrep if it was c2 because everyone could see he wanted isis + going unnecessarily hard

Hey guys, what are we going to do if I’m right - which I think I am - on both Pooky/Isis being town? Like how do we even decide this?

Few things less fun then deciding which probable townie to whack. If there was ever a good time for a no execurz, this would obviously be it but unfortunately that isn’t an option.:/
