Smh.

[Bell]

So is Dunn scum with him or

[Bell]

I’m not town reading the bulge, dude’s scum.

[Bell]

*looks up at the ceiling*

[Bell]

Don’t you think it’s weird how like, we’re all so similar and yet unique.
Really makes you think.

[Bell]

Does anyone else smell burnt toast

[Bell]

I just dunno what you could possibly gain from this line of inquiry.

[Bell]

i cannot tell if you're trying to rein me in or if you're noting similarities between us or both

Oh, no I was just saying the stupidest thing I could think of.

[Bell]

Yeah, I hate spicy food.

[Bell]

Sure. I don’t like the line, but you can try it. I need to reconsider a few of my reads and approaches to people.

[Bell]

No, I’m just being a dick, sorry.
Mala and Dunn have played together a lot so I don’t think it’s out of place for them to mention or coordinate like that to win town points with each other through a Mason fake out.

Bulge and I probably did the same thing entirely by accident, which is fairly typical.

In general I tend to avoid touching on these topics and tend to think that those unaware of them are more likely to be scum because they don’t think about what might be good for town, what lines of inquiry are risky or could have bad outcomes.

But we all have different play styles and approaches. So I’m just going to watch and see if maybe genuine communication will get the game somewhere.

[Bell]

Part of why I wanted Datisi to die was because they tripped the “I don’t care I’m not a Mason” button. Which I felt was probably a more objective or accurate way to hunt given the set up.

But obviously, not.

[Bell]

Yes, which is an excellent reason why we should kill Shadi. On the other hand, it didn’t work with Datisi. But I don’t really think this is in the same vein. I usually avoid thinking about trans but maybe I should. Won’t post about em tho’

[Bell]

Teams, not trans*

[Bell]

It’d be pretty wild if Ari was scum here insulting her team or herself.

[Bell]

*runs into thread out of breath*
Maybe the real masons were the friends we made along the way!

*satisfied, Bell leaves the thread*

[Bell]

I haven’t seen it much and I’ve played quite a few mafia games.

[Bell]

You might

[Bell]

I don’t see why you can’t describe what moves you’d hypothetically make as scum and how you’d differ from that as town.

As scum, you’re not *supposed* to play exactly as you do as town and you’re not going to because you’re an informed party. You use that information advance your win condition.

I don’t have much trouble coming up for what I hypothetically might do as scum. I don’t think it’s difficult.

[Bell]

Why wouldn’t that be offensive to them if they were scum?

[Bell]

Are there any particular posts that you think Shadi has made that exemplify non-AI, lim-baity posts?

[Bell]

Does anyone think Drew is town?

[Bell]

Lol.

[Bell]

Three years I wore a mask, three years I hid in the shadows. But finally, covid got me.
That fucker.

[Bell]

Three years I wore a mask, three years I hid in the shadows. But finally, covid got me.
That fucker.

Want me to take him out back and kick the shit out of him?

Please do, I just woke up from a nap and immediately had to dash to the restroom to vomit.

[Bell]

I don’t have the spoons rn to go for Shadi again.
Sorry SB. You seemed like town to me.

[Bell]

VOTE: sheep

[Bell]

Tentative V/LA feeling worse instead of better.

[Bell]

Fevers down a bit. Let's jump back in. Thank you for your understanding mod, everybody.
Sorry.

[Bell]

This is a surprisingly modest entrance from Dann. Then again it's been a year.
Then again, again, weren't you a white knight at one point or best replacement or whatever.
...I'm probably confusing him with someone else.
I never said I would be coming back without covid brain.
I know this question wasn't really directed to me, but I really do think SB is town, like, not 100%, more than enough to scratch my head at all the scum reads. Some of his reads are bullshit, sure, but like,
so're everyone's.

[Bell]

He gets me.

[Bell]

Ah. I did the unintentional crumb thing.again. I mean he made an argument about how Aris was approaching me that captured how I felt about it, if it was a little more critical than I’d have liked.

I say as an extra critical person. So it wasn’t really that critical.
Point being it gave me bright hopes for the future and where’s the scum motivation in that?

[Bell]

I really didn’t expect Aris to change her mind.
Explaining myself almost never works.
But here we are.

[Bell]

my biggest hangup with superbowl is that he doesnt sound like he's eager to kill anyone

but then again like nobody is so shrug

I feel like I’ve been very warned to kill people. I just caught covid so couldn’t harp on and on and on about it.

[Bell]

Some of his reads are bullshit

I'll let this slide because I like you
And glad you're feeling better!

I’ll let this slide because you’ll be a corpse soon.

[Bell]

Thanks.

[Bell]

Hi

[Bell]

Uhhhhh
Mmmmmm

*sits*

[Bell]

I might’ve been wrong about sb.

*cough*

[Bell]

why did u make ur username Bell

Death knell.

[Bell]

Anything anyone else wants to say before I close this up.

[Bell]

Shush Ari.

[Bell]

I don’t see a problem with that. The fact that there’s any cc immediately on claim is good enough for me. One for ones don’t work in scum’s favor and I find it difficult to believe a non-Mason Dunn would cc sb.
Can wait on a response from SB though, probably just gunna get trolled.

[Bell]

I could kind of tell.
But apparently, you can read SB really well, so that says something!

[Bell]

Same

[Bell]

Lmao

[Bell]

I was just about to vote STD to try and sort him and then he went and sorted himself.

[Bell]

Voting sheep is a waste of time.
Unless people specifically wanna kill him.
ISO’d again don’t see anything that speaks to me one way or another. Of note they voted SB when they had other options but they also did it in the least impactful way possible.

[Bell]

How is it more efficient to kill you if you're town?

[Bell]

Which specific posts gave you the impression Danflorr was informed of SB’s alignment?

[Bell]

Aria scum says what.

[Bell]

I find Aris’s approach to meow meow here scummy, tbh.

[Bell]

I’ve done the whole, “well if you give up then I’m not responsible for you dying” blame gaming before.

It works decently to deflect suspicion off of you, since, they’ve laid the ground work for a sort of “what can you do?” Sentiment.

[Bell]

That said, lol my reads this game.

[Bell]

VOTE: bell

What's up STD?

[Bell]

Hello!
Why are you voting me. I hate that. I'm literally waiting for you to explain yourself so I can OMGUS you to hell.

[Bell]

Alas.

[Bell]

*stares*

[Bell]

STD.

[Bell]

Std, Std.

[Bell]

STD, STD, STD.

[Bell]

S TEE DEE

[Bell]

is this town!malakittens btw? does anyone have confidence reading her?

I think my gut has been saying it is town!malakittens but that is only based off of one scum game I played with her

Nope, I can’t read Mala to save my life.

[Bell]

I dunno, I'm not scum.

[Bell]

My brain is fried.

[Bell]

I'm just fucking around because I can't be assed to read Meowmeow so I keep poking at shit and seeing what happens.

[Bell]

I'm mulling on that wagon of yours and your response to it. Mostly, I don't think you're scum. But it can't hurt to check 500 times.
And then once more for good measure.

[Bell]

Bell is just far out of his scum range isn’t he

Really out of my scum range. One day.

[Bell]

I can't sort people based on that kind of thing.
Half the time it's a sad sack town.
Half the time it's scum overthinking their position.
I'm pretty sure those statistics are bullshit.

[Bell]

Oh hey, we're hammering somebody. That was fast.

[Bell]

Yep. Might as well wait.

[Bell]

my god, this scum team is incredibly inaccurate.

[Bell]

Shadi?

[Bell]

As mentioned, I don’t crumb. It just ends up looking that way. Something about how I write.

I’m at work, but I shall say something.
As for day 1. Yep. I managed to kill the town among two scum. Town read Super Bowl. I certainly didn’t avoid wanting to kill Shadi though.

[Bell]

This is incredibly normal in terms of performance for me. I love mafia, but it does not love me back.

[Bell]

Uh, i’m not scum tho.

[Bell]

It’s incredibly normal for people to have incorrect reads.

[Bell]

I can’t engage right now. Need to focus on my job. We have plenty of space. But it’s a waste of time to kill me when I’m town. There’s like 3 players it could be.

[Bell]

So let’s kill Danflorr and save some time.

[Bell]

VOTE: Danflorr

[Bell]

Playing with your food is mean Aris.

[Bell]

bell are you a mason

No.

[Bell]

The last scum is probably in dann, Ari (unlikely), meow meow.

I strongly recommend not killing me because it’s not a good use of anyone’s time.

Of those, I do actually think Dann is most likely. Though not for the reasons stated. Mostly I just find their back and forths genuinely odd.

That said I’m making a lot of assumptions and a lot of people that should’ve been grilled never were.
It seems like even I didn’t get grilled because people thought I was a Mason. Even though I was giving Katya a hard time for seeming to be trying to out masons so I’m not sure why people thought I was a Mason.
But that’s a Psyduck thing.

[Bell]

Yes, I knew that Ari.
Uh, you never brought that up on day two. Or when SB flipped.

[Bell]

because I didn't think three masons would sit on their hands and let you hijack d1 for no reason

I thought about that and decided that they too are human and don’t know who the scum are, I figured they’d eventually take over when they wanted or had some semblance of confidence.
But given the compositions I think it’s just that they aren’t really active enough to control the game.

[Bell]

If I wasn’t at work I would’ve spammed more to get my point across that I was town and that there’s literally no reason to kill me over the last scum.

I don’t think it was a good idea to rush this elimination. But, you guys have a lot of room.
So it’s not the end of the world.

[Bell]

Oh now you hedge.
Too late Ari, no take backs. Own it.

[Bell]

You’re gunna have to talk about it tomorrow.

[Bell]

It’s probably Dann, if not Dann then Meowmeow, but also maybe just start pushing at STD, sheep, Drew. And see if one of them is an also assumed Mason that isn’t actually a Mason.

[Bell]

Well I mean you own it no matter what unless someone forced you to vote me.

[Bell]

He literally just got here. He replaced in.

[Bell]

I dunno why you didn’t just say that instead of leading my elim.
But that’s one of your characteristics, I think.

Probably.

[Bell]

I’m not following what you mean. I know there’s only one scum left, I said it repeatedly in thread.

[Bell]

My play was terrible. But I genuinely tried.
I’m just the stormiest storm trooper.

[Bell]

It was but mostly as a “as town, I’d try to draw the night kill by acting kind of like this”
There was no specific attempt to imply I eas mason’s with SB.
That was entirely unintentional.

[Bell]

so who are the masons

Guess: drew, std, sheep.

[Bell]

Dann was a Mason. Hahaha

[Bell]

I didn't think it was you Bell

I thought it was you tho.
