Sir Hugh Evans and Simple, by Robert Smirke, 1752-1845, and Charles Heath, 1785-1848

Sir Hugh Evans:

The dozen white louses do become an old coat well;
it agrees well, passant; it is a familiar beast to man, and signifies love.

But that seems like reading too much into it, and I end up just thinking is a couplet (if that's what couplet means) that is part of the colour and meaningless for game play.

This is where I'm at, pretty sure it's just flavour

A couplet is two back-to-back rhyming lines

Hi Dunnstral

Why?

A pickle walked into a bar, the bartender says "hey whats the dill, pickle?

Haha.

VOTE: GuiltyLion

Any reasoning for this one? GL seems fine to me.

Bowser Jr., Off The Hook, Child of Fairies, Skybird

Are these scumreads?

If they are, why vote COF over Off the Hook?

Yeah sort of. At this stage it feels a lot like picking names out of a hat and thinking "uhhhh this feels okay", but yes.

Off The Hook is probably the slot I'm least concerned about out of those 4, actually? I'm not sure why I need to be told what Gamma thinks without Gamma actually posting it but apart from that it's just weird appeasement vibes which might not mean much.

Child of Fairies is more interesting to me because of their interpretation that posts are difficult to parse. A very small proportion of posts so far are "Shakespearian" and honestly less than I would have expected going into a Shakespeare-themed game. If anything, the game has been easier to read than most other recent games I've played so it leads me to question where Child of Fairies' post is coming from. Is it an awkward attempt at light banter? Is Child of Fairies scum, feeling uncomfortable about that, and also more uncomfortable about posts that are more difficult to read as a result? I don't know, and I'm eager to find out!

I never said that. I said that I was having difficulty parsing the Shakespeare posts (namely the sonnets, but A for effort) and if anyone else was. All the other posts are pretty standard early-game stuff, which are perfectly readable.

My thirst is not quenched
There remains discontent

[Spiffeh]

I want things to happen but I don't have any strong enough opinions to make things happen so I will settle for this:

marci/Gamma and Pavowski feel good
Whemestar and kinda Galron and Child of Fairies feel ungood

Everyone else is irrelevant.

VOTE: Whemestar

Then let's talk it out. What makes you discontented?

[DeasVail]

I have very little idea of what you think. You have asked Juliet for reasoning on the GuiltyLion vote, saying that they seem “fine” to you. But what does this mean? Would you expect GL as scum to be not “fine”?

[Tamora's Angel]

Spiffeh, votes in quotes don't count.

VOTE: Deasvail

Why DV?

Why not DV?

[WhemeStar]

Votes on me are lazy

[Wisdom]

VOTE: dunn

Do more than naked votes and fluff

[Icebox]

VOTE: dunn

Do more than naked votes and fluff

Where’s his fluff?

[Wisdom]

The shakespearian stuff

[Wisdom]

ok maybe it wasnt that much fluff i was just lazy to parse

[GuiltyLion]

Vote: Galron

good vote

If it's a good vote, why didn't you join it? absent that this kinda just feels like buddying LLD. I like that Dunn called this out as well

yeah im totally trying to buddy lld glad u noticed bestie.

hes also saying now he thinks galrons a fine vote but i do wanna wait a bit, i feel like if galrons scum itll become obv, when i saw scumgalron last he was basically not solving at all : DD (i think our efforts are better used elsewhere for now, and he'll become an obv solve given time)

i wonder what this is...

if you're acting like it's a sufficient explanation, it's not
a) you had to be pushed by Dunn to post it
b) why will it become obvious if Galron is scum? what experiences with him is that based on?
c) you say your "efforts" are better used elsewhere, but you haven't pushed anything or used your vote, so I'm not seeing a lot of effort elsewhere that's preventing you from making a "good vote"

Hello, I am excited to play a fun mafia game with all of you

~Spiffy

Anyone find any scum yet?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!!

~Spiffy

have i ever played with u spif? i dont remember if i have, but what i do think is that these post have bad vibes!@@!#@!%

:/ I didn't get any bad vibes from those posts

oh really..? do you mind explaining..? cause to me they seem a bit over excitable so they seem like they

could

be faked.

Pretty much any first post in the game

could

be faked, I didn't grok why you felt those in particular are more likely than any other post. Do you think scum!Spiff is more likely to use a bunch of question marks/exclamation points to act excited yet town!Spiff is not?

VOTE: off the hook

I don't have especially strong scumvibes but claiming to support a vote without sheeping it + shading Bowser Jr slot for posts I find fundamentally NAI + townreading Luke & Pav makes me think my vote is best here

why do u think our townreads on luke & pav are a reason to vote us?
and i wanna know where tf did we townread luke???! i dont remember doing it myself, if anything i remember slightly shading him, and i dont see anything from gamma saying he did... or did u just make this up to push ur point along

the bit about townreads on pav and Luke was referring to my own townreads on them. they both RVS'd you so I figured it was possible you already had multiple votes from other townies and wanted to add fuel to the fire. Though I actually did forget that Pav had moved his vote off of you by that point, I had just gone back and checked VC 1.2

You're really quick here to use your misinterpretation of my post (which admittedly was phrased poorly as it was late and I was tired) to accuse me of making things up, instead of thinking that you might be misunderstanding me instead.

[GuiltyLion]

I get lots of goodfeels from DV's 130, I had the same issues with COF's 100 (which was what prompted my 102), and while my question to DV was meant more in the spirit of "why vanity vote instead of joining my wagon" I totally resonate with his summary of the bad vibe from COF.

DV's follow up 161 is also a super townie post

VOTE: Child of Fairies

I also had a thought that if COF is scum, he might be more likely to say that I "seem fine" if I'm currently pushing on a town!OTS. may be a bit too much of a reach so I'ma sleep on it but the idea has taken hold in my head

[DeasVail]

Would you say Off The Hook is...

I am just here for the wordplay

[Pavowski]

And guiltylion feels town, but I don't think I've crossed swords with him so that's like a 10% confidence read right now.
