[Eddie Cane]

podo, you're getting lynched if your next post isn't a claim.

This is a last warning to not discuss ongoing games. This is close to toeing the line with a substantive statement (two of them with fast deadlines). Please see forum rules here

This was the wall in question during day two. I wasn't going to claim before explaining myself, but Umlaut had unvoted, so the claim was no longer necessary.

Spoiler:

So Avagantimos was a project, and I needed a few played games under some alt so I could pass it off to a friend for stuff (I can't elaborate more on this at this moment.)

So I was trying to tinker with some new meta stuff in this game, and I've been playing very differently from my normal town game in the sake of mixing things up. Part of that has been lurking. I wanted to see how a town would respond to me when I'm making the same controversial reads if I don't post them as often, and hammering Chickadee was a miscalculated attempt to experiment with that some more. I read Chickadee as likely scum (partially because I thought her claim was unlikely in the context of Fykus's), but I didn't post much about that in thread at the time, because I was trying to be less present. In my scum games, and my town games, I'm frequently in the upper 10% of players when it comes to post frequency, but I made an effort to stay in the lower half this game to see how it changed how players read me and how it affected other facets of how I play.

I think tinkering with my meta, and trying out some new playstyles, has led to a lot of the hand-wavey scumreads on me, where people are scumreading me for {reasons}, but not necessarily able to elaborate upon them. I look self contradictory to people, and maybe fake, and I think that's understandable all things considered. I've also been distracted by a very rough semester, but as always, IRL stories shouldn't necessarily be assumed to be true, so I understand if that doesn't mean anything to people.

This last day has hurt mostly because of the stress of the game doubling-up on that real-world stress. When I simply haven't had the time to actually read, and make up for my lurking with a complete readslist, and it's now more necessary than ever, it's just a position I've never been put into in a game of Mafia, and I DO have mostly myself to blame for that.


I fucked up and alt-slipped, so now I'm locked into playing as the normal me for the rest of this game. That's part of the reason I asked fro99er to officially replace the slot. Unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that I'm busy, so a full catch-up is still gonna have to wait a couple days.

I hope this brings some amount of clarity to what's been going on with me this game. I think I had a responsibility to provide a little debrief on why Avagantimos was even a thing. If I get stuck on L-1, I intend to claim, but obviously it was my intention to not get to that point in the first place.

I was gonna make that post, and claim, but I wasn't going to just claim first and get hammered before I could explain the whole Avagantimos garbage. Context matters.

i wasn't questioning the wall

i was questioning the tone of your voice right before claiming

the tone doesn't sound like you were gonna claim vt

[Transcend]

course maybe i'm just stupid

[podoboq]

I don't know what "tone" you're talking about, but whatever. I don't like to claim in games unless I have something valuable for the town to use. Claiming VT is terrible, because it just means scum has no reason to nightkill me, and it doesn't help setup spec.

[Transcend]

did you think you'd ever be a night kill this game tho?

[aronagrundy]

I'm a vt

[podoboq]

did you think you'd ever be a night kill this game tho?

One can hope

[Transcend]

o.o

[Eddie Cane]

u.u

[gerryoat]

actualy im hung over as fuck and don't want to read it

in the back of my mind he's still scum but i'll just trust your judgment for now

VOTE: podoboq

you should L-1 him btw

this slot needs more pressure

When gerryoat was on L-2, and I was on L-3, Transcend voted me and said I needed to be brought to L-1. When gerryoat flips scum, just keep that in mind.

dont like how you're stating obvious things, but idk i still think you might be town

[Eddie Cane]

HUURRY UP CTRATURE I WANT THIS GAME TO END SO I CAN STOP LOGGING IN

[Creature]

I'm VT.

[LicketyQuickety]

Are we doing mass claim?

I'm VT.
