Hi! We’ll do a reread after we wake up and stuff, but we’re kinda thinking, Koba’s fine for now? Dannflor’s weird, not sure if we vibe or not with it? Enu says Pooky and Cakez look town here… and that’s it otherwise!

—Coda

[SirCakez]

Enu how can you have me as town after like four generic posts lol

[MUSHSHAGANA]

SirCakez,

I read the posts you make, and they seem in line with what we know of you. It is not a particularly strong opinion, I merely think you are more likely to be town than not right now. This question mildly reinforces that opinion.

certain mechanics in this game interact with the hostage killings and cause them to be carried out slightly differently than it is stated here. however, it will always retain the same essential character (of malice).

i mean between this and dead players being able to replace out and their replacements having wincons and etc i wanna see the homerun thing play out for sure

idk if it's even "dead guys have wincons" it just seems like corpses can replace and whoever is in that slot at game end is legally allowed to go "I won/lost this game!" which is kinda funny

with 19 alive, it takes 10 to rake someone over the coals. day 1 starts now and ends when you make it end. i'm killing hostages.

moderateur notes

• tommy seems to have moved from position 9 to position 1 in the order which generally increases his amount of plate appearances by one. he has walked once at four plate appearances today.

tommy up to bat

[MUSHSHAGANA]

who?

HPE is HighPrincessErinys.

Catch up posting follows:

Koba, to be clear, 104 is crap because it just threw a nothing-vote at Pooky and didn't even bring up that you were being wagoned. The stuff after you start being active looks basically fine, though. Big fan of the wording in 199, especially.

Dannflor, what's inconsistent about 78? Koba was the only person who could post anything meaningful at that point for moving the game-state, I didn't have much reason to dig while I waited. I also thought HPE was functionally doing the same as me in the moment, so I was curious how we got placed so differently. It's also not incoherent at all. Thoughts are mostly positive here, but it's pretty thin. Early game and all.

The Bulge is just kind of not there to my brain. Enu says they're plenty present, Coda and Orphee agree with me that they're sliding off of the brain even while we read their posts, Ad has attack-dog face, so it's kind of a wash what's up over there. We're collectively vaguely negative on this slot, but I personally have a positive spin based on past experiences with posting-sliding-off-the-brain. When I find a player whose brain parses cleanly to me, I'll probably follow their lead on this slot specifically.

Enu says Cakez is town, but I really hate 234 and 235. Kind of agreeing with Skygazer's 236 there. I think Enu is (kind of has to be, honestly) working from 249 here, which, okay, that looks like town Cakez, but that's one fucking post and it's preceded with a warning that he'll be shitposty, so it's fakeable.

Vague positive feeling on xyzzy. Stepping up for Ranger in 129 could be scum buddying, if it wasn't Ranger. (Admittedly I don't know lots about Ranger, but eh, I know enough.) Shitposts feel surprisingly revealing.

Skygazer is one of my trademark "not sharing thoughts here" slots. Keep posting!

Not a fan of iamveryhappy's posting style, but it could be NAI. I'm withholding judgement.

Don't like ofhrz! Don't like that posting! I don't have a good word to describe what it feels like in Mafia-jargon, but the word that comes to mind is "slip-streaming". Coasting behind someone else, occasionally shifting who they're keeping ahead of them. It feels like they're trying to be what The Bulge actually is.

Alisae, Meuh, Doctor Drew, Morning Tweet and RCEnigma are just nothing to me. The posting is largely missing and not particularly revealing so far. There's a small split here between "exactly one post that feels slightly AI" and "nothing-posts from front to back", but it's insignificant right now.

0verki11 and sheepsaysmeep are MIA.

Catch-up done, which is a now-unusual megapost. Fun. By prior agreement, the rest of our activity today will be Orphee-posting, unless someone gets specifically asked for.



PEDIT: Oh nice, a votecount! Based on that, yeah. Increasing negative vibe on ofrhz and asking schadd_ what the hell's going on with Skygazer's wagon.

VOTE: ofhrz

he swung at this slider that went really low and inside twice and so the pitcher just kept throwing it even lower and insider and he didnt swing at it and then it hit him in the foot

Why is he even there? Is he like a defensive specialist?

[schadd_]

yes he's a good middle infielder which generally accounts for about a third of his WAR

[HighPrincessErinys]

who?

HPE is HighPrincessErinys.

Not quite what they were asking. Bulge was asking about:

There's one and only one player who can post in a meaningful way right now. Might as well shitpost with the rest of the weirdoes while I wait.

Who the hell this is referring to. Which this one is also QUITE curious about!

[MUSHSHAGANA]

Oh. That was Koba. Koba had quite a wagon and hadn't posted since it started rolling. Koba posted, we can pay attention to other things now.

[MUSHSHAGANA]

I should have signed that.

--Orphee Nuit

[HighPrincessErinys]

Oh. That was Koba. Koba had quite a wagon and hadn't posted since it started rolling. Koba posted, we can pay attention to other things now.

Seems a bit early to go "Yeah we can stop focusing on Koba now" if you ask this one.

[MUSHSHAGANA]

We were so focused on Koba that the rest of the game was background noise. Once Koba posted, we were able to begin looking at how everyone acted around them.

Unless you thought "we" meant the whole game. Which it didn't. I meant that as we-I, not we-us.

--Orphee Nuit

[HighPrincessErinys]

Fair enough.

[DkKoba]

Oh. That was Koba. Koba had quite a wagon and hadn't posted since it started rolling. Koba posted, we can pay attention to other things now.

Seems a bit early to go "Yeah we can stop focusing on Koba now" if you ask this one.

Why?

[DkKoba]

I ask because you are currently voting someone who is one of the primary people pushing my slot in an active way

wish granted to not stop focus on me, monkey paw curls and makes you part of a thunderdome with me instead

Why?

Also tbh even from the perspective of "yeah we've had our eye on them and they posted so we're gonna focus on other things now" it's, to me, too early to go and say you've said something meaningfully town or scum? This one doesn't get scum vibes from your entrance like others do but it also doesn't get much of anything else from your posts currently other than like... nulltown vibes from the defense. This one might also just be shit at reading people because it feels like most slots here haven't done anything too AI to it yet.

[Skygazer]

it has come to my attention that i might not be playing scummy enough so i just wanna say that i think iavh is a mason

[Morning Tweet]

This is basically a meme game
We can't even elim people lol

How are people supposed to die then

Oh you probably assumed this because the deadline was infinite that meant the day couldnt end or sum

What gamew ould we even be playing then, watching tommy swing while waiting our turn?


Koba what are your thoughts on the mechanic after pending the alignment roll
