Mundivore, can you look for associations between Egix and NK15? This caught my eye on re-read:

Adding to this, neither of them were on Arthur's initial wagon either. More than any other pair, their participation in significant wagons is synchronized.
(and this was before NK15 flipped too)
Egix has posted associations between NK15 and you and I on the previous day already. But obviously he didn't post for himself.

Nnnot quite. I did vote shelly up to E-1, but she wasn't forced to claim because no one declared intent to hammer. Her claim was premature.

Spoiler:
Full-game reread - 22/10

p# (Reda) - I'm presuming that this one was a meme post... would scum really be this overt?

p# - Yeah it's just a meme, prob not worth reading into.

p# (NK15) - Noting that they choose not to chainsaw-defend Mundi by voting Noraa.

p# (Mundi) - This post kinda misses the point imo, looking at it again - the pressing matter was more about how Satis phrased his post rather than the essence of what he wrote. I would say it's kinda scummy to not have a good sense of the tone there?

p# (Reda) - Some pro-town advice that doesn't just feel like it's being given for the sake of it.

p# (Mundi) - Focus on NK15 pings as possibly partner-indicative.

p# - Slight scum vibes from tone here.

p# (Reda) - "It sucks to have so many null reads because that's not super helpful. But I want my thoughts out there regardless." - Minor town vibes from this part.

p# - Liking this also - the reasoning seems like it would have been sufficiently valid had Arthur been scum. i.e. it doesn't seem like it was BS'ed up.

p# - I don't really get the impression that Reda was "sheeping mundivore" as Noraa put it.

p# - Even though this post was written by Arthur, I'm earmarking it for the Mundi read.

p# (Mundi) - Monster wallpost! This one is mainly a series of responses to Clark/Arthur, though there is a lot of theory talk that makes the whole thing seem bloated.

p# (Reda) - I don't agree that 192 was towny. This feels like a "big posts, must be town" sort of read.

===

23/10

p# (Reda) - This seems a little bit waffly. I don't get why he doesn't just SR her, given what he stated he didn't like from her. It's not like he named anything he found towny from her.

p# (Mundi) - "Could you elaborate some more on Not Known? I'm low-key scumreading them right now and I'm not sure how much of it is because of #163 contrasting with my townread on Satisfaction." - Possibly a minor point in Mundi's favour, but it's not strong.

p# - Minor town vibes.

p# - See p# for my note on this.

p# (Reda) - Normally I would suspect this post for having an awkward tone, but like... this is supposed to just be normal for him... right? The fact that it's Mundi who mentioned that is... yeah.

I simply don't see how it could be anyone other than Egix from this position. If this is Red, then I think you earned it. But I'm all in, and I'm out of lines.

Once again the rumble of approaching battle interrupts the Seelie Court. Elven warriors pour into the forest clearing, and prepare for battle. They are many. They are armed and armored. They are grimly prepared.

They are not enough.

The horde that overwhelms them seems to have no end. The Court flees, their millenial decisions unmade.

The enchanted forest fades a little, its colors, too perfect to be real, are now ordinary. The forest is still beautiful, but the magic is gone.

Thanks to everyone for playing! Thanks to everyone who replaced in! It's been a pleasure to mod this game for you!

I'll post links to the PTs shortly...

just fyi this was true and I would have said this regardless of my alignment. I started my two first ever scum games at the same time and it was exhausting mentally. I'm going to take a break from mafia for a bit, I was definitely overzealous in signing up for games. Playing town/solving gives me energy and playing scum zaps that energy. Phew.

ayy congrats guys! I didn't have a real read on how I would've vote there, but based on half assed rereading it was "probably not Redados" :lol:

just gonna take a learning moment to say -- be soooooo careful about what we did this game. eliminating town power roles in semi open setups. there are a lot of situations where they are literally confirmable, and a lot more situations where scum are incentivised to nightkill them. NK15 really seriously lucked out with the way his claim went down.

Don't fret Red, you played well.

the worst - well played and sorry that I didn't read the games that you spent time putting together. I was terrified of you. We will definitely play together again soon.

Mundivore - it is always a pleasure to play with you. Being universally scumread in limlo is never fun regardless of alignment and you did a good job keeping up a good attitude.

Bluebell - sorry :] there was no one else to really scumread - you were limbait! I hope that you can hop into more games and write more poems!

Satisfaction - you played a fantastic first game, I can't wait to see your play continue! You also scared me a lot

ArthurConyl - you have really, really bad luck in terms of being mislimmed in the early game. I hope that you are able to stick with it. I meant what I said in post 87.

Egix96 - I did read some of your games, you are a very good player. You have what Mundivore called "convergent play" where your town and scum games look very similar. That's super scary. I'm warming up to your playstyle!

shellyc - I wish you hadn't claimed. While you were claiming I was going for a run and planning my defense of you. I would have gotten so much towncred. Oh well.

Not Known 15 - I'm sorry that I wasn't a better scum partner! I definitely feel like we did our own things and butted heads a little bit. That ended up being useful in terms of distancing with what happened, but maybe it didn't need to go that way. Hopefully we can roll scum together again in the future. Thanks for your guidance in the Mafia PT!

This was the first mafia game I've modded in a couple of years. I was a little worried I might make an inadvertent error, so checked every night action, every elim-wagon and every flip several times before hitting the submit button!

I always like, if possible with my flavor choice, to tell a story with the images I choose for vote counts and flips. This time, I also tried telling a verbal story along with the images.

I kinda like that this ended on a cliffhanger. The next time I visit feryland in game flavor, I might have a chance to finish the story!

If you felt that the flavor/story was a distraction, please let me know, and I'll think about telling an image-story next time.

After shelly died I basically stopped keeping up with the game. I came back a long time later and actually started SRing Redados which is interesting considering I generally have trash SRs

Yeah, you earned that win. I had a hunch based off of how you started really misrepresenting what I was saying? The way that you bussed NK was very convincing to me.
