Hollow Knight Mafia [game over]

[Aristeia]

alisae is givine me seriously bad vibes and their posting is super sinister to me so

Which posts

it's mostly gut but i will try explaining my thoughts. generally aristeia is seems like they are trying to assert control over the town and be seen as a leading presence. there's been a lot of talk about their own playstyle, doling out advice. to me, it feels performative in a "look how much thought i'm putting into the game" kind of way.

i think 316 is an odd post dropping so many townreads so early, with their 3rd post of the game. feels like an attempt to hard establish themselves as a town player putting deep thought into the game. but really its just calling a bunch of people light townreads which is the easiest thing in the world to do for scum.

this is okay, don't really see the case on Ari but for someone who hasn't played a mafia game in 8 yearsit's a decent thought

i think people were getting on redff's case too much for trolling/shitposting in the early game and i feel like there are big error bars there for a player who hasn't played in a long time

tbh i think regardless of his alignment he was probbly targeted early game by scum?? because someone playing like that either looks like an easy miselim or someone you dont want on your team

his case is not on me, it's on alisae, he just can't tell us apart because our avatars look the same to him

haha yes, i mispoke in one post and called alisae aristeia because of the similarity in names/avatars

@VPB I kind of think you're a lot closer to Joker than Batman atp but it's still early.

[petapan]

Actually, should we powerlim CSF

I'm torn

why did you scumread her, her posting is mostly null with some very slight town bits

basically for this, I found reasons to townread most other players

I don't think I play the batman role much at all...

[Firebringer]

Try to imagine VPB in spandex.
I dare u

[Aristeia]

you just need to make your voice deep and be extremely serious at all times

I believe in you.

House of the Dragon you were a bit like Boxer, loyal and hardworking but not in power and eventually copped it

I'm not saying "you too"

I'm saying you can't seriously expect someone to take you as credible when you're literally making essentially the same argument as a reason to call me bad.

You can call me "horrendous" for making thin pushes in early game ... but what do you expect cases to be at this point in a large game?

I don't think my reasoning of scum faking townreads for malarkey reasons WHICH HAPPENS IN LITERALLY EVERY GAME EVER is "horrendous" in the slightest. Thin, sure. Bad, not even close.

Assessing people's reasoning for townreads is actually quite effective at finding who has legit lines of thought and who doesn't, and you definitely know this.

If this is you trying to pressure me to get a read, that's not really how to sort me. If you're telling me you legit believe this is scummy behavior...well

"i'm not saying you too i'm just saing you're making the same argument"

like ???

by definition any early game push is thin but you didn't act like it was thin, you acted with a really disproportionate confidence. and the problem with this is i don't actually think you tried to assess asri's reasoning for their townreads, you just went "okay you can't answer me you're clearly fake die"

which, like, isn't how the game works and doesn't come across as actually attempting to assess asri's alignmnt

like i've been saying, surface level

So my confidence is the problem here, not the reasoning?

As a side note, is anyone else having issues just snipping quotes on mobile? Used to be able to highlight the text I want and click quote to only get that, but now I seem to get the full quote regardless...which is annoying for everyone.

i highly doubt you're good enough to solve the game by POE this quickly into Day 1 and in all likelihood are falsesly clearing some people for shallow reasons

there's a button that pops up now rather than it working through the quote button, i dunno if it works on mobile tho

anyway i find the reasoning problematic but your projected confidence level doesn't really match with your defense where you seem to be downplaying that a lot

[VP Baltar]

I will certainly admit to regularly expressing more confidence in things than i actually have as a way of reaction testing and seeing how people respond. I feel like you've played with me enough to know this, which is what makes me skeptical you aren't reaction testing me.

But at this point, you've doubled down enough to say you're serious, so I'm not entirely sure what to make of that. It seems disingenuous from you.

Let's look at this from a different angle, do you townread asri right now?

[Alisae]

dude this is too confusing one of you needs to change avatars

Cry me a river

[Klick]

What if CSF, Klick and petapan are all scum

I'd probably feel really bad for petapan lol

This game is comedy gold

[Alisae]

All I really care to respond to Red is that my interactions with Furtive are a way for me to try to meet him halfway on his own level. Tis is the approach I am going to try with the player.
the rest isn't really worth my time, the guy plays like an npc so it's alignment should be self-evident given time.

[Alisae]

None of this is making me think petapan is town.

I think they're fine, I don't get ur read here

You really have nothing to add to this game but you're immediately ready to correct someone about this. Do you have nothing else to add to the thread?

I don't really want to do anything different with my vote than what I'm currently doing

Make better wagons and I'll join them

Red if you're town you're going to have to do more than whatever this is.
