At first I was kinda excited at the possibility of rolling both mafia and Toriel here and starting the game by scumclaiming for the chaos, but like some people have explained already, I soon realized that Toriel's flip does count towards Mercy/Fight goals (which would make it anti-wincon) and although that makes complete sense to not make sorting Toriel kinda irrelevant, I'm sad that we can't potentially have claimed scum to banter with~
I loved the Pine vs Alisae/Person-I-forgot-the-name series
The concept of having confirmed scum to talk to is pretty fun to me!

This makes no sense to say. I'm not saying I think you're scum for saying it, I haven't decided on you yet. I'm saying it literally makes no sense when it was just spelled out that we go mercy if we think Toriel is town, we don't if we think Toriel is scum. Mandate's thoughts on your shouldn't affect this at all.
I have no reason to not think Dunnstral is town right now, and with the points I gave Mandate it makes me feel even better. All you need is two more to win the game, right? It's easier to find townies then it is to find wolves. At least, to me it is!
Only nights 1-3 are skipped, the whole game is not nightless. Mafia can kill people before we can spare them.
Do know that if you claim scum today, I PROMISE to vote for Mercy rather than Fight no matter what! I'm here with OPEN ARMS willing to SCUM IT UP with you if you're red!
You just gotta say the words!

Oh, I forgot that part. More townreads required then.

Do you think it's a normal question when you have two townreads who are generally doing the same thing to ask them what their reads on each other are? Do you think I shouldn't be a little skeptical of that line of questioning, Taly?
yeah i think its incredibly normal to question 2 of my townreads on their read on each other, i do that every fucking game.

but also i do not know how useful discussing dunnstral's alignment is since he's getting flipped no matter what
He's the most important to discuss,
because
he's getting flipped no matter what.
Really? I thought the exact opposite!
Mind melding
Why?
One of the things that gives the most info is a flip and seeing how people interacted with a now confirmed town or scum slot.
i agree but we cant act on this immediately D1

I think there is an extreme low chance that I want to Lim anyone outside of Taly / Keyleth today, there's too much going on that says they're partners
Do you always bold usernames? It brings attention to the eyes but is also slightly intimidating.
I'm not new to mafia, no! Why do I give off that impression? I've played video mafia and forum mafia before although I saw undertale theme and was like 'omg I have to join this.'
I want to know more about this tbh, I thought what I said was pretty mild
saying you town lean toriel just seems like the safest possible thing you could say that can also be classified as game talk
and that is regardless of dunnstral's alignment
do you have thoughts on anyone else so far
Keyleth and Mandate passed the vibe check
Also whats safe here? I don't get how what I said is protective on a game that just began. Much less effective to try and pocket Dunn, hypothetically.
I mean I've sat here looking at this on and off for the last couple hours and I really do think this is just two scum, the way the two of them force an engagement with each other over everything else in thread at this point, the difference in tone from the surrounding commentary on actually game related materials, and the follow up behaviour. It's also worth pointing out that Keyleth in this game uses emojis exactly twice and they are both in these responses to Taly which helps to make that exchange stand out even more from everything else that the two of them have done this game.

It definitely helps that this is the kind of setup where I fully expect scum to be going full on buddying each other trying to make a pseudo townbloc and that perception of how scum would play the game meshes with both their forced interactions into mutual townread into Taly's fascination with what exactly the read dynamics are between me/Dannflor/Brown Eyes when I don't really think any of that is what he should be thinking about as a town player.
respectfully, give me a break.

like if mandate is mafia and you're town then this wouldn't be a grief it would just be hyper aggression lining up lims and seizing thread control - your lack of any suspicion of this push is kind of ?? to me.
I hope whatever you've planned for that day goes well! (even if you don't have anything planned?!)
finally some decency
thank you
