BooneyToonz XIV: A Little Boonie Told Me [END]

[Aristophanes]

The fuck how are u first it's my job >:C

Anyways claiming Town Parallel Universe (Ascetic) brb in ~2 hours

Scumlean on Gypyx for not being first

[Aristophanes]

Oh god ari you found my secret scumtell leave me alone ples

I was going to vote you for it too but since you asked so nicely I'll just pretend I never saw nuttin'

[Aristophanes]

I have not read back yet but none of those claims are real.

[Aristophanes]

I claim Ascetic Nihilist.

What does a nihilist do?

They ponder the point of life. Well, moreso the lack of one I suppose.

"What is the point" "Nothing matters anyway" "Nothing effects me and I effect nothing"

It's actually an amazing meme claim.

[Aristophanes]

But if you're town in the parallel universe does that mean you're scum in this one?

Not necessarily. People often conflate a single parallel universe for an inverse universe but that upends so many things and not just a single instance like this role one role.

If we are looking at a hypothetical infinite multiverse theory, then it is far more likely.

[Aristophanes]

Claiming ascetic D1 is boring and I'm not sure why the flavour was included tbh

[Aristophanes]

Hi ari btw. How goes it?

@Gamma, Hello, hello.

@Pedit: The latter. It's my style to obv town as obv town~

Heyyyy! Long time no see!

How've you been since the Geriatric?

[Aristophanes]

Doesn't that only count discussion forum posts?

[Aristophanes]

Oh, I just checked and it only counts mafia forum posts I guess. Dayum!

[Aristophanes]

Ari do you have any takes yet?

This has been 5 pages of fluff and fakeclaims.

I kinda scumlean you slightly but that's nothing really.

Gamma can sit at a townlean for now.

The rest are nulls.

Geriatric Posting Guidelines

1. Know how to let off the gas. Momentum is important, but this is not a race. This is a game of cooperation - make sure you don't leave anyone behind.
   
2. Don't forget you're always speaking to everyone. One-on-one conflicts have their place, but they can quickly take over a thread - and nobody is interested in spectating five pages of others arguing. You don't need to have the last word - if you're stuck making the same arguments to the same people, let the thread breathe and give others a chance to weigh in.
   
3. Compose your thoughts. Before submitting a post, reread yourself and cut, edit, and format your message. Make sure your point is clear, and highlight any arguments you make. For example, distinguish separate subjects with expandable spoilers or area tags.
   
4. As an overly general rule, any post that is shorter than three sentences is too short, and any post that doesn't fit on a single computer screen is too long

These are the guidelines I speak of. 1 and 2 are key to my request, but 4 can be safely ignored.

These are good recommendations and I'll follow them better as the game settles in. I was just having a little RVS fun

[Aristophanes]

Boon are you pagebottoming your VC here or were you looking to pagetop?

Because if it's the latter this post will really be bad in retrospect.

[Aristophanes]

OH MAN HE BEAT ME!

Well done

;p

[Aristophanes]

aw I feel bad if that prompted him to do that cause it was rhetorical

unless we're doing a roundabout massclaim, what is the purpose of voting them instead of literally anyone else

VOTE: BrightEyedFish

For the record, we are NOT massclaiming D1.

Oh, I was asked about my thoughts on claims. One sec I'll take a look at them.

[Aristophanes]

V/la until Tuesday

I'll be around a little bit but I've gotta get some work done for school before I fail out again

[Aristophanes]

I'm hella behind and not reading 40 pages to catch up but...I'm back.
Will be reading or something tomorrow when I have more energy.

[Aristophanes]

So many pages...

I'll be back tomorrow

[Aristophanes]

Hiya! I see that I am like, leading wagon, almost limmed. Any reasons or just inactivity?

Can someone point me to the current wagons? I don't see a recent VC. Otherwise I'll probably start with looking at the votes on me and go from there.

[Aristophanes]

ariiii

you keep saying you'll read/do things but haven't and it's not looking good :<

I know I know

I didn't mean right that second. I mean, like, quite soon.
It's a big game and I find those daunting and often run away from them hoping to be strung along until it's a manageable size. I'm gonna change that one day.

[Aristophanes]

Thanks Unbirthday, for those quotes and whatnot!

I see that it's mostly naked votes so that's not helpful. I'm assuming the reasons are literally just my absences?
That's understandable, but doesn't give me much to work with.

I guess I'll look elsewhere for content to analyze. Boon's most recent vc is next.

[Aristophanes]

Of course, Unbirthday is the one being wagoned here other than myself. I like their posts to me in this little world of me returning. I'll give them an Iso tho

[Aristophanes]

LOLLLLLL I'm at L-1, eh?
We have 10 days. Gimme a chance maybe?

shrug

Ari dislikes playing scum, and it feels like he dislikes and has little motivation for this game, soooo

Where's the

FIRE

in you, Ari. If you're town, you're being WRONGLY accused and charged of a crime you DIDN'T commit. Show us who we should be condemning instead.

(look at the vax scum-wagon and the votes on and around that as a good starting point - it's plenty to go on)

Thanks, I'll take a look at it!
I could make excuses for all of this but it's my own doing that I've been so...null to a fault this game.

I'm on it. I mean it.

[Aristophanes]

I'd honestly entirely forgotten we got scum D1.

That's definitely a good jumping point!

[Aristophanes]

Alrighty! So first off I, uh, well I guess I really have been absent. I didn't realize the Noraa hydra left and that Vax took that slot. So what was a wild ISO!

Vaxkiller actually gave very little that can be seen as AI and I think that's because they replaced into a doomed slot, or so it seems.

I've taken some of their readsposts from through the game smushed them together here to see what I can glean from them since I started looking at the wagon and quickly felt like it was the wrong way to go. I mean, it's way too early for proper VCA so why start now, right? And that's Titus' thing I don't want to step on any toes.

Spoiler: Readspost analyses

Current Reads:

Scum in {Gypyx, Endless Terror, Pelican} based on claims. I'm inclined to believe Gypyx's claim the most, but even if true, it doesn't make them town.

BrightEyeFished has popped in twice to say nothing of substance; granted, they did so when the game just began. Tentative scum lean there, but it could easily swing the other direction.

Samantha's voting pattern has caught my eye; 3 votes in 4 posts, but overall the slot is null.

I didn't like Bell's wagon hop after Pelican's post, but it's not really a good reason to scumread them.

Unbirthday presented quite a number of reads early on which seems kinda fluffy, but latter posts are good, and they appear to be scumhunting. Leaning town there for now.

Birthday has a lot of fluff posts, so it is hard to tell for him. I'm inclined to town-bin him for now.

I'm not at all a fan of Pelican's posts. Reasons include the way they claimed and as Birthday mentioned, the style/approach to posting. Idk, the latter may be a stylistic thing that I ought to not read.

No eead on Tsunami or Endless rn mainly cuz their style are hard to read, and nothing stood out to me from them.

If I didn't mention you, that means you didn't make an impression at all on me and are thus null as well.

Town. For:
1) Townbinning someone with fluffy posts.
2) Didnt feel compelled to go through the whole player list.

These reasons for townreading someone are cringeworthy. Possible Ircher scum based on thispost.

-gypyx is almost conftown to me
-bell is solid town
-pelican brief is likely town based on the claim, but trying to sound awkward is ??. willing to let titus do her thing for now though, i think i can read titus fairly well.
-HBB is town
-unsure about HUB. i didnt get the strong townpings that other people did. it could be the lack of avatar. i scumread people without avatars.
-brightfish is a scumlean

-tay

My Reads list:

Bell is scum
Pelican is scum
HBB is scum
Sure about HUB, but not sure what im sure about them
Bright is town.

gyp is confscum*

Okay first note is that the Taylor slot (I forget who the other head was but thanks for taking over solo!) is very probably town. I looked at a bunch of their posts here and there and they comeoff really well overall.

Second note is that this post directly follows calling Ircher town, the leaves them off the list? And it tried to mimic the lists that Ircher and TayTay just made in style, but without content or context, which is just bad and not something I think a scumbuddy would do. Ircher regains the town points for anti-associatives. Nice.

Actually, I just compared it to the TayTay list and it's just an opposite's list
I mean, it continues my thought pattern but I was about to go into this analysis and see what they were up to with HUB interactions because of it and lolnope! They were meming. How annoying.

Whats the team balance ina 15p game? 10 v 5?

That sounds too much. 11v4?

hi 72 can you sign

221/222 sound SUPER fake townslippy imo.
why are Bell and Hec- I mean HBB scum?
-S

Ohhhhhh I now know who HBB is! Thanks Shelly! (I just remembered who the other head was <3)

I like this call out and it continues my reads trajectory on the slot as town. Wonderful news!

My god, I hate the whole previous page.

Happy birthday boon asking for policy lynches?

Endless terror calling ircher scum for scum reading them?

Samathas vote for me, where she puts words in my mouth I didn't say?


Like wtf.

I'm tempted to change my vote for endless, but honestly, Samatha's last post just seems as forced as it is unfactual.


I think birthday boon is putting up hypotheticals or sarcasm? Maybe? Hopefully?

Okay so from this rare glimps into Vax reads, HBB is left as a question mark but I like Sam and Shelly as town. Ircher goes back into ??? category for the light defense from Vax here.
And well, it's not a direct defense but it's what I would expect this to look like if they were scum-joined. Shading ET subtly while simultaneously lightening the scumcase of Ircher is good play.

Hm. Shelly seems scummy. That means Shelly is town. Done. Sorted.

I don't recall why I quoted this or why it somehow got tabbed to the end of all of this? Weird. I think Shelly comes out as town. Yay!

So, yeah, there's some reads and a bit of shitty analysis in there. Shitty start but it's something at least.

[Aristophanes]

Ari the problem is it feels like we've been giving you a chance for like four days practically and so far you've done nothing to convince me you aren't like an extremely lazy survivor or something, you seem totally disconnected from the game and given there's intent if you're going to keep making two empty posts and then dipping you should probably at least claim

I was writing OKAY!

Yeah, I've been disconnected. I didn't realize there was a scum flip or that Vax was even in the game. I haven't been following. Every time I open this I read a post or two, look at the backlog, and run away.

Yes, I should replace out. I'm not doing that because I want to be here. I will be keeping up and actively playing, I just...Iunno. I should probably just be WOTM'd out of Boon's games because this isn't the first time I've done this in one of his games. It's shitty and I'm sorry.

I'm not dipping. I had to get a footing I was comfortable with and it took a bit of time. I did get distracted part way through. Iunno what to tell you.

[Aristophanes]

Yeah this feels entirely like Ari’s TM 2018 gameplay. He’s town, stop voting him.

I'm still just as shitty 2 years later, eh? :sweatsmile:

[Aristophanes]

hey Ari since you're starting with TS iso, in Shelly's gamma read posts like 329 here would be theater. Does this read like theater to you or does gamma/ts/vax make gamma seem town in your opinion?

Parsing this series of words is giving me a headache...
However, in the quoted post, I think Gamma comes off as Towny. I got the same inclination when I read that Tsunami didn't want to read 10 pages despite hyperposting themselves.

It does not read like theatre to me.

[Aristophanes]

Ircher's dead. He flipped town.

Could you claim your role?

Fuck Me!

Of course he is! Why do I even try.

Yes, I could claim my role.

[Aristophanes]

kappa

???

[Aristophanes]

Is that not the reaction you were going for?

Kappa is just a "K" so I'm going to assume you're saying that because Greek Alphabet. Which if so is cool XD I was just slow to get it.

I'll claim, sure. I was playing around because of semantics of the sentence.

VT.

Very exciting, innit.

[Aristophanes]

I can't believe you're counter-claiming me Ari

I should hammer you just to prove there can only be one

I mean I won't but meh

Anyway, why didn't you claim in 1502?

I felt like being cheeky

And lol on the Highlander reference, good shit!
Tho obv there can be more than one VT, if I'm answering seriously.

Ari what's your read of Shoshin?

No clue, I'll have to take a look at them!

Full disclosure, I have a presentation to write today so I may be afk. I'll be back to active soon. I promise. But I can't fail this class and this is worth 30% of my mark.

[Aristophanes]

Stop... Hammer time

VOTE: Aristophanes

Another VT claim = Another scum right?

Is this where I overreact to a fake hammer?

[Aristophanes]

um hbb just unvoted so it shouldn't be a hammer

BEF was also already on me. I'm at El-2

[Aristophanes]

oh well, i take back what i said earlier²

[Aristophanes]

it'd be normal for you to be aware of your exact vote count, except for the fact that you are unaware of almost everything else

The VC was a page ago and I looked before I reacted. But yeah, I get that.

[Aristophanes]

Stop... Hammer time

VOTE: Aristophanes

Another VT claim = Another scum right?

Is this where I overreact to a fake hammer?

Worth a shot.

I think it was probably a towny shot fyi

'm detached, but I've read.

I'll be active in a couple days. If you kill me before then, oh well I guess.
I don't want to stall the game. So if you have to, go for it.

[Aristophanes]

Oh.

Well I'm not those things so...

*shrugs again*

[Aristophanes]

Reasonable and understandable. I'll try to remedy that.

[Aristophanes]

Heyyo!

Okay so I've finished the big project that was weighing me down here and am ready to dive back in here

Thank you so much to everyone for giving me that time! I really needed it <3

Looks like El-2 so I've got an uphill battle but we've got lots of time to make this right!

I guess I'll start off looking at the scum wagon from D1 and go from there. If you had any questions addressed to me there's a good chance I'll miss them so please reiterate or quote them. I doubt it'll be much since this is all votes for being vacant from what I can tell, but just in case.

[Aristophanes]

Okay, so starting off, that's one hell of a vote swing between the VCs in 393 and 577. Looking at replacement times I have to assume Vax replaced into the slot with suspicions high already, so I'm going to take a look at Tsunami's descent into chaos, replacement, and the treatment of the slot upon Vax's replace-in.

I will note that it took almost another 500 posts, half the game at that point, to get the last 2 votes on this slot. Makes me thing there was some scum resistance to the wagon. That, too, will be of great interest in this reading.


Notes around Tsunami/Noraa/72 (WHO IS 72!?!?)/Vax:
Endless Terror/Tayl0r/Shelly said they towntold in 416 and those that follow.
The replace out in 494 probably shouldn't have been read into but I'm glad it was. Iunno what my comment is here tbh.

Spoiler: (probably illegal post based on replacement rules but oh well)

Oh ok, bye then, could we just get some reads before that?

But I kinda agree on the problem tbh, the mech talk is fine, but the pace of the game is really, like, dense

Since you kindly asked and also had a nice goodbye, I shall break my own rule of last post :/
I am 99% sure Endless terror is town.
I agree with my partner that Bell is scum. This is mostly some soulread shit but generally my soul reads aren't bad.
Everyone else is just confusing and I keep mixing them up.
I keep mixing up the Taly/Titus and then the HBB and HUB and the fish. Yeah @_@

-brainfriednornor

I don't believe soulreads from scum.
The Tayl0r Swift town confidence is very interesting considering I already FoS that slot (see below).
The last line name drops HBB, HUB, Pelican heads, and BEF as apparently confusing? I mean, by name I was confused at HBB vs HUB at first but they seem to be diverging which is good. I have NO Clue why BEF is in this mix!?!?

I should say that I despise the votes on Tsunami at replacement. They're lazy, uninspired, and are so easy to place on a scumbuddy because the chances of them going anywhere are slim considering the stance most people take on replacements. They still achieve the optics of being active and scumhunting but are not really anything.
Endless Terror's vote is utter shite and they deliberately did not respond to Gamma when he questioned them on it. Bell's is at least (badly) supported by a statistical replacement bias. But that's almost as bad. FoS on both of these slots. Bad votes. I can maybe give shelly some room for coming back with 526 but Iunn. I'll have to think on that.

99% sure bell / tsunami aren't S/S

More content from bell would be appreciated

Do you still believe this with the Tsunami flip? What is your current read on Bell?

Unrelated to the flipped scum slot but not fond of the rolefish in 529

I think I favor bussing to not bussing. But never d1. As ydrasse can attest from our forest fire game together(I will get pissed if I get associated with a d1 scum flip I had a hand in).
I don't think Noraa or offsuit like being scum. Though yeah, I probably shouldn't get into that due to the angle shoot issue.

Okay, this is interesting. Post was already placed with little backing and this kind of reaffirms the reason for that vote in the assumption that neither head (I assume Offsuit is 72 tho I am still unsure if I know who tf that is) likes playing scum. An admission to being willing to bus but not on D1 is interesting. It reads as a post I could believe.
BUT I also pointed out that the jump onto the wagon was easy and not necessarily serious. Like even with this Bell could jump off and it would be totally reasonable. I don't see conviction behind the vote so I'm not writing off interactions yet.
I appreciate his noting my schooling tho <3 Thanks Bell, you're a good guy!

Is Bell a busser?

not sure but its irrelevant as bell is town

Iunno, it's just...there's posts that are making be really think a Bell/ShellET/Tsunami Vaxxer scumteam is possible.
I guess I know where Imma be looking next!

Uggh TGP please tell me there's more to this vote!

zzzz wake me when the leading wagon isn't predicated on a replace out

THISSSSSSSSSS

I uh, I think I missed HBB's vote somehow. One sec.

Oh, I see it.
Meh it's the best of the replacement-era votes I suppose.


Reads as I read through but with no reasoning attached:
Gamma - Town
HBB - Nullscum?
HUB - Nulltown?
Shelly/EndlessTerror - Scummy
Sam - Towny
Ydrasse - Towny
Bell - Scummy
BEF - Towny

Cool, so that's the stuff between the mentioned posts and up to Vaxx's replacement.

I'm taking a break now.

[Aristophanes]

This post is just fluff and throwaway answers to quotes I see while reading up so feel free to skip it.

ari failed the vibecheck when he was around

*Sad Ari*

hopefully they come back and start pumping out posts Soon

While not soon, I'm here now :sweatsmile:

[Aristophanes]

Tl;dr on Tsunami, im not including the repout for integrity reasons to be a Serious Player that doesnt get modkilled...

- Noraa: fluffposting, only lazy sheeping of 72's reads and not wishy-washy like town!her is at all
- 72: weird Bell/gypyx lockscum reads that arent fleshed out, isn't hitting usual towntells
-shellyc

I'm going to take back my Trio read of Tsunami Vaxxer/Bell/ShellET but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a second one in that trio. I'm gonna look into them next.

Actually, I don't anticipate getting anything out og these pages that I can't glean in Iso or later in the game. Maybe I should just jump to it.

Imma check where the wagons are other than on myself for this phase too, because that should be interesting and tbh I haven't looked that closely...

[Aristophanes]

Oh right, it's HUB who I thought was the townier of the two Birthday accounts.

Alas.

I'll add them to me current reading endeavour and see if I have the stamina for them.

[Aristophanes]

Okay, so first things of note for Bell

I like their intro to the game. They feel light and their interactions with neither Tsunami nor Terror seem like buddy interactions.

Looking at it in Iso their Tsunami vote actually makes a lot of sense and alleviates a lot of my worries about the slot.

I also really like their pushes on Vax.
And the slot feels n awful lot like they did in Geriatric Trio II which I modded.

I think it's safe to tuck this slot away as town for now.

Inb4 "That was too fast"
Yeah I know, it's based on vote positioning and post composition.
I get a townread.
I'm moving on.

[Aristophanes]

I could easily see TayTay/shelly as scum tbh. I'll maybe do a case another time. I am losing steam and it's not gonna get a good case out of me. But they shaded people like Gamma in the right spots for it to be scumshade and Iunno what to think of the Commuter claim as I haven't really read that part. But the way they go about it feels odd. Plus interactions with Tsunami etc etc.

[Aristophanes]

I guess I promised I'd read HUB too.

Instead of that, can someone give me a case summary? <3

[Aristophanes]

just for clarity, did you read to page 24 and then change to reading iso's, or did you catch up and then double back?

I read half of the page before switching to Isos, if that's of any help.

[Aristophanes]

just for clarity, did you read to page 24 and then change to reading iso's, or did you catch up and then double back?

I read half of the page before switching to Isos, if that's of any help.

Oh, sorry I think I misread this.

I read up to halfway through 24 but did not catch up on the entire thread. I was going to do a pg 24 to Elim (post what...1066?) but I found that cumbersome and figured it wouldn't give me much.

My Isos were also light reads, as noted. I burned up a lot of motivation in the first bit.

[Aristophanes]

aw, I was gonna make a joke vote on you again after the wall of text & effort, then unvote

but the last part made me sad, cause it takes less time to read the whole thread than it does to write half of that

Sorry I ruined your plan
I do enjoy a good joke vote --> unvote ftr

[Aristophanes]

I could easily see TayTay/shelly as scum tbh. I'll maybe do a case another time. I am losing steam and it's not gonna get a good case out of me.

Plus interactions with Tsunami etc etc.

I could see shelly as scum but until I get a better picture of the setup I'm treating that slot, as well as GPX, as untouchable

Noted and appreciated.
I'll keep an FoS on them but will drop them down a level for now.

[Aristophanes]

Can I think Ari made some good points but still think his catchup was a little scummy lol

You can, though I think you're wrong on the second part

[Aristophanes]

Hey, I'm back. Forgot to check my games yesterday. Looks like it's been a quiet weekend, I'll be caught up in a moment.

[Aristophanes]

you said that ari shut down your reaction test pretty fast, but could you tell me what you gleaned from it if anything? like it Happened and then... what'd you gather from it? @bef

Sam actually beat me to the test shut down, by seconds, but it would have ended there regardless.

[Aristophanes]

has a reaction test ever actually been something productive in a game on this site?

The site is over a decade old, I'm sure it's happened at least once!

Also, sorry. I got distracted changing the MafiaWiki featured setup and role for December.

Now

I'm reading the like, 2 pages that happened over the weekend.

[Aristophanes]

Gamma what's the difference between inactive Ari scum and inactive Ari town.
Ari can also answer this.

Imo it's not about the inactivity, it's about the follow-up.

If I never come back with content, there is a high chance of scum because I'm horrible at faking reads as scum.
If I come back and produce something, there's a high chance of town because I am actively looking at/for things.

But that's a very biased answer and of course not 100% accurate. I've had some good scumgames and some bad towngames. But as an overarching theme of my play, it's pretty reliable.

[Aristophanes]

Gamma what's the difference between inactive Ari scum and inactive Ari town.
Ari can also answer this.

I think inactive town!Ari tends to not worry much about the impression he makes, in a sort of ditzy way

Thanks, I think? XD

[Aristophanes]

what's the phrase, you think there's a scenario where gamma is getting warlocked by ari?

White Knighted??
I've never heard "Warlocked" here

Warlocked = scum encouraging a town to push another town player

Ooooh. Interesting.
I don't feel like that is the case here at all tbh.

GTH ari

What did I doooooo??

[Aristophanes]

I know deadlines are a thing and will see if I have time during class today for this.

7 pages overnight means Ineither missed something important or someone melted down.

[Aristophanes]

Neat! Thanks HUB <3

And wait...7 pages of regular, civil discussion??
Impossible!

[Aristophanes]

Taly would also I guess have to be a real life lightning rod lol

or maybe scum have some ability which causes multiple abilities to be targeted to one player? a scum redirector ability would probably fit with a commuter meme, although I'm getting a bit deep into setup spec now

Scum could have an "inverted" mod too right?

With 3 commuters would that not be a necessity?

And lol, I could see taly/titus thinking up some crazy logic to make that happen but I also don't really believe it...

[Aristophanes]

Looks like I missed all the fun, but I fucking died reading it and this meme is top tier! XD

[Aristophanes]

It is 1 am.

I strongly advise we just wait for sam and everybody else to claim before anything else.

Sam is Bef's excuse, so it's best if she comes in here and confirms she didn't transport me.
I doubt she did.

No.

I am not going to condone a massclaim when we have a soft-guilty and it's the guiltied party calling for it.

If we massclaim it is done tomorrow, not today.

[Aristophanes]

We have massclaim and we have consensus on an Elim for the day and I'm honestly not sure what to comment on because everything is setup spec atm.

I'm down to do Bell, and I thought them scummy a while back. I would not be surprised if the loyal was redirected tho, which has its benefits I suppose in another sense.

Like, I'll vote once we decide to end the day, I don;t think we're getting anywhere tho, unless I missed something as I skimmed. Day is stagnant and needs to end so we can move on imo.

[Aristophanes]

Ah, Well, Cool.

I'll just, yaknow, do what I've been doing then.

It was nice playing with you! Good luck on your job interview!

[Aristophanes]

Yeah, I know.

Intent?

I don't have an answer to the question of scumbuddies for Bell, but I'll work on that I guess.

[Aristophanes]

VOTE: ari confscum

Not even close, but sure

[Aristophanes]

Ari how you doin bae, you got some spicy reads for us?

Sure, I'll get right on it.

I don't like TGP's push on me but I'm not going to put that as a scum push until I've read it again.
Also probably a scum in the commuters.

I generally still have townreads on a lot of the remaining players and I think TGP is the biggest ping atm with Shelly and Gypyx after that, but IIRC Shelly was towny in the drunkposting portion of things so maybe not them.

That's my basic surface commentary.

[Aristophanes]

I have not read back yet but none of those claims are real.

Ari can you expand on why this was your take about the ascetic claims?

Okay so i just looked back at posts 1-84 for "claims" and am going to go through some thoughts.

The fuck how are u first it's my job >:C

Anyways claiming Town Parallel Universe (Ascetic) brb in ~2 hours

Possibly true actually. Tho why is Parallel Universe Ascetic and not a Commute?

I harm claims

-norbear

I mean, obviously fake.

Oh god no pls don't

dont what?

also we are ascetic... interesting.

this and the above post were taylor

This is Shelly now right? Has shelly confirmed being a "parallel universe" flavour as well?

I am having troubles posting with the hydra account. I have informed Boonskiies.

For now, I will make an important announcement. We have a situational negative utility modifier. We are never ascetic or a miller or a gravedigger or anything else. Our modifier is not listed, so I presume we are a boonbank role.

Sorry this should be variant not boon bank.

I mean, we have confirmation on this now but this is a pretty legit claim imo. And the change to variant should explain why the counterclaim wasn't done by...Sam right?

I claim N1 kill lightning rod

Obvious Meme Claim

Endless Terror

Has there ever been a more appropriate name for a hydra?

I claim Ascetic Nihilist.

Vanilla Noraa

Welcome ! You are a

Vanilla Noraa

You may each night use your factional kill

Your goal is to kill 2 town PR's

Sample Noraa PM

You're just asetic? Nothing more / flavor? Anyways i'll leave now got work to do

thats all i want to claim now. at the very least i need to check with shelly.

do you know if your role is described on the booney toonz wiki?

-taylor

Parallel universe is just flavor, basically my role PM tells me that i live in a parallel universe and that i can't be affected by non-killing actions there

This is a bit rolefishy from gypyx. Also it highlights the flavour discrepancy which may be an alignment indicator of some sort.

Town Parallel Universe (Ascetic)

wait is this legit? like one of those things where like gravediggers are supposed to claim first or something?

Yep, false guilties roles are supposed to be claimed around the first posts to prevent scum from getting away with claiming those when guiltied once we left the early game

Using the term "false guilties" rather than "negative utilities" here raises an eyebrow high. Wtf do you mean "false guilty roles" when you aren't a miller!? Wtf is this!?!?
Also possible scum interaction imo.

But to actually answer the question at hand...

I claim N1 kill lightning rod

is this a meme I'm unfamiliar with or a serious claim?

I claim Ascetic Nihilist.

What does a nihilist do?

I have not read back yet but none of those claims are real.

84 was in direct response to the two posts quoted above, as I had not read back yet. Both are the obvious meme claims (other than Vanilla Noraa).

[Aristophanes]

Wait so we have 2 conftown in theory?

Can someone plz claim being FN'd?

[Aristophanes]

Or how about we don't play puzzles and you give us that person with the associated crumbs?

I like this solution XD

[Aristophanes]

Wait so did shoshin not commute N1 or N2??

WHY!?

[Aristophanes]

It is 1 am.

I strongly advise we just wait for sam and everybody else to claim before anything else.

Sam is Bef's excuse, so it's best if she comes in here and confirms she didn't transport me.
I doubt she did.

No.

I am not going to condone a massclaim when we have a soft-guilty and it's the guiltied party calling for it.

If we massclaim it is done tomorrow, not today.

The strong tone here pings me, when you compare it to Ari's surrounding posts. Scum like to appear strong when talking to each other, even if it doesn't fit their usual tone.

Meh, I don't often take hard stances but I wanted to shut that down asap to deprive scum of info.

Read into it if you like

[Aristophanes]

Ftr I'm not going to, but I understand the hesitation

[Aristophanes]

Hmmm... i could exe-1 that tbh

Like, my current mindset is really dependant on ari scum, would be better to flip him imo

Hey, is my Elim into the voids helps town finalize a victory then go for it. I'll see about casing TGP myself at some point over the next few days.

[Aristophanes]

there is the extremely weird thing here tho. Like scumteam would have to *also* have a commuter, so this scumteam would have to be something like [1/of shelly/ydrasse] as [something with commuter in the name] and then shelly perspective slipping that she knows GX was commuter through scum team's setup spec

well gypyx claimed "parallel uni ascetic" so I doubt that there would be both a "parallel uni ascetic" and a "parallel uni commuter"

I think it makes it more likely tbh?

They're in Parallel Unis, it would be different, right?

[Aristophanes]

Hey, I'm really sorry. 3 people called in sick for the week and 1 was misscheduled in when he booked it off so I'm on a 70 hour work week this week.

Just, hold on hammer plz.

[Aristophanes]

Sorry for replacing out. I was stalling the game and it just wasn't healthy for it.

Klick, you did a wonderful job in our slot! <3

Well done town!

[Aristophanes]

It happens. Thanks Ari hope you're doing well

I am!
Same to you my friend!

[Aristophanes]

Guys can we

NOT

try to out alts?

Alt hunting in private is whatever, but doing to publicly is extremely rude unless the slot asked to be figured out.
Especially when it came out that they probably have a rough history with one of the players in the game.

Just. Stop.

[Aristophanes]

me and Klick this game

but yeah I would nom this for a "moment" but I'm not sure if I should do Ydra's response to koba's traitor claim or ydra's response to the dayvig

this game had a lot of "moments" lmao

alt hunted votato in public, no regrets.

but fr i already know who it is based on PoE and im choosing not to out it lol

Lol yeah votato is a bit of a different story XD

But okay, cool, I thank you for that.
It has no effect on me, but I feel like it's something we should respect in site-meta.

[Aristophanes]

I just want the catharsis of powerlimming

Ari

at least once in a game. 3:<

I'll play more games this year.

2018-2020 I've played fewer than I did in 2017 alone so maybe 2021 will be my comeback year!

[Aristophanes]

(For those interested, my ratings page (linked in my signature) has been updated to account for this game and PookyTheMagicalBear vs. Flavor Leaf.)

My numbers are no longer even

It was nice while it lasted XD
