[1977] Exile Island: Chapter 2 (Day)

[Aristophanes]

Am I a dick if I say the playerlist got so much better in the pregame replacement phases?

Also, awesome story writing! =D

I'll do something productive later probably.

In the mean time,
VOTE: Bins
Only 1 skittle is allowed per game! XD

[Aristophanes]

all these people are past the age of 16 and had better not be virgins

I was very confused until I realized you're role-playing

[Aristophanes]

Apparently I required a prod

Reading up today!

[Aristophanes]

Lol 2 tp confirmed?

GG on the math btw everyone

Scumreading KaediotxKobitchi

May I ask why? I had done nothing AI at that moment (unless my entry was in some way).
I have done nothing since as well, so I would like to know where you stand on this with that in mind!

VOTE: sheep

Policy. I detest their playstyle.

Brutal! XD
There was a point in my life where PLs were a real thing I would do. It is no longer a thing.
What do you think of Sheep's play?

you fucking slug. Why is Trash's name in orange and Arseistophane's name in green?

Idk, ask

Zoraster

.

This is why I love you! <3

Also,
UNVOTE:
That was purely for fun. Binsy is great!

Psyche

Psyche's not in this game!

There's a dank meme

2 posts above this one

Oh? I must have missed someth-

Psyche

Can we talk about productive things? Like the fact that something of power is hidden, or that people have already been stating reads, or that Diamond is apparently ok with two policy lynches, or that Sheep has the most posts and claims not to have read a single thing?

Policy lynches are not strictly disallowed from being scum, and your assertion that they are is fishy.

Never said it was scummy or not. Just noteworthy and potentially interesting to visit.

Ohey, the first actual point of conversation worth mentioning in the first 4 pages!
Well, kind of. Sheeps is NAI but also bad play. DS is NAI but also bad play. Reads are Meh and very cursory, nothing to them much. Hidden power will reveal itself eventually, so why worry about it? Not actually much of a conversation, but framed as if to make Chick look productive. They said as much themselves.
You get a scumlean

On to page 5!

[Aristophanes]

Life comes at you fast, huh Dumbomd Shitinel

Fuck off NM. You're one of the most cancerous mafia members on the entire site. The only people who enjoy playing with you are people who are cancerous as well.

Can we fucking not please?

[Aristophanes]

It's easy to have reads when your role PM lists all the scum

Nah!

Agreed! I have extreme trouble making reads as scum!

VOTE: sheep
This however is scum, i had just told my other head about it but Kokichi seems MIA, so I might as well take the handle of the hydra for now.
Also chicka is being even townier.
Also Miu ignored my question.

I think Sheep is towny actually. And Chicka is scummy.
Where are you getting these from?

Townreading Hickapee and Arseistophanes

?
I kinda agree on chicka, but why is Art a townread?

His entrance was very natural

Disregard my first question from earlier
I'd still like an update on your reads though, and would like to know if the townlean remains and why.

Sheep, Do you actually townread my entrance and think it looks natural or are you fully sheeping Mui here?

I remember people telling me that Art's usually lurky as scum, that was quite a long time ago tho, but him not being around isn't helping.

This is true, however I've become just a supreme lurk as all alignments. Sorry about that!
This is why I semi-retired. This game just sounded too good to skip!

ari didnt lurk in his most recent scumgame
mini normal 1969 i think

I was consistently proddodging and only posting enough to get by looking towny while engaging as little as possible.
I think you misread that game!

Ooooo Maria is town! <3
I am very glad about that!

Why is someone not having reads scummy? Some people take time to get just because you get them in 2 seconds doesn't mean someone is scummy I don't see why scum sheep just says "oh I should read I don't have reads I need to read the thread" do you think that's his gameplan or?

You'd think the player with the highest post count would do less posting useless things and get reads instead.

I mean, they have the highest postcount

because

they are posting pointless things. You are looking at them all wrong!

Everything else is just math/setup talk.

Glad I didn't miss much! Got some solid reads from all of this

VOTE: Kaede

[Aristophanes]

Hi Arist. I see you talkin about me a lot in there.

Considering that sheep does literally nothing in the way of playing and only joins games to shitpost, I can't read him at all. There's nothing there to read. So I propose policy lynching exclusively. (Or maybe mods just add him to fucking blacklists. His behavior disgusts me). So, I can't say anything about their play,

because there is none

Anyways, this is D1. I've never seen a D1 really worth its salt. Town lynches a scum on D1 and proceeds to lose every other lynch. Town screws up big-time and gives scum a free mislynch, but turns around and pulls a win out of the hat. In the first case, they use wagon analysis from D1 to justify a bunch of mislynches. In the second, they dismiss D1 as a shitshow. D1 is essentially just a big long RVS.

So to say that I'm bad play right now is a moot point. Everyone plays shittily D1.

PEdit: I'm done with that. I lashed out because I'm dealing with 2 of my least favorite players on the entire site. But I'm done with it. Ignoring them, yadda yadda.

lad to hear it on the P.edit, and sorry you feel frustrated!

I do agree with the second part of this post. D1 does not set the stage for the game!
But if you PL you get limited usage out of wagon analysis no matter if town or scum was lynched by it!D1 may be a long RVS in most games, but it also sets up a lot of info and interaction for the rest of the game! That's why it matters!

[Aristophanes]

Hey bins buddy why are you voting me still

hey dunn buddy wanna do something

[Aristophanes]

Legit didn't know Dunn was in the game

haha

VOTE: bins

Hey bins buddy why are you voting me still

^^^ Full ISO.
Can't say that's a surprise!

I mean that it's not a surprise you didn't realize they were here. It is a surprise they are posting so little.

[Aristophanes]

(On this episode of "Aeronaut is an idiot", I just accidentally prodded Not_Mafia. This is a PSA to please moderate sober.)

Well done XD

Maria, dreal, feel better <3

[Aristophanes]

Ari, I'm gonna need you to tell me why Sheep is town. I just don't see it.

Gladly!

112 and especially 114 struck me a ls very towny posts. Their response to me and my entrance, asking for me to be prodded, and read on Maria all sound very natural as eell. And they aren't usong their fluffy style to obsvure the game or fill it, just to compliment it. They arent veing obnoxious with it or arguing about it, just stating that theyre goinf to be like that and so be it. The lack of worry and them not doubling down makes it seem very likely they are town.

[Aristophanes]

VOTE: Ari

Changed my mind

What made you change your mind?

I'm thinking Ari might be scum, but I have a bad tendency of scum reading people who scum read me, so I'm glad you voted Ari KxK

Why am I a scumread all of a sudden? What is good about Kaede's vote that came with no explanation? Why am I suddenly the biggest scum possibility for you this game?

To be fair, I actually really liked Ari's catch-up too, but I feel like it's for the lack of content from other slots.

So, I did a good catchup but that is scummy because everyone else is low content? Seriously?

[Aristophanes]

I'm having trouble with reads, so right now, yes.

Thays okay.

Going to bed soon, but if you want to hash anything out I'm here for a bit

[Aristophanes]

Snarky is in this game!?!?

[Aristophanes]

If it makes you feel better, you're not scummy enough for me to vote you, because as I said, I did like your catch up. And I do really like your explanation for town Sheep.

I just really need things from the middle two groups in my reads list right now.

Agreed, no worries. I also wouod like to see some activity!

Ohey, the first actual point of conversation worth mentioning in the first 4 pages!
Well, kind of. Sheeps is NAI but also bad play. DS is NAI but also bad play. Reads are Meh and very cursory, nothing to them much. Hidden power will reveal itself eventually, so why worry about it?

You get a scumlean

I don't know how I feel about this? It feels like Ari is looking way too much into this because I did understand Chick wanting to...well do more and the tone of the comment I just didn't really find it AI at all so I'm curious to figure out how you thought it more "Chick wanting to look like they're doing something" compared to "Chick just wanting to get the show on the road"

tries to read a dimond post
sees it as just more shit talking
moves on

Ooooo Maria is town! <3

Nani? (aka what?) I'll take "How to explain your answers for 300 alex"

On part 1, I had good feels feom them based on the original two posts mentioned. The rest was gathered in an Iso read as reasoning was requested.

On my read on you, I really liked the post(s) you'd made at the time mostly on tone and intent iirc. I have continued to like your posts based on the same

[Aristophanes]

What's dif between me and Ari (considering we both sr you)

I feel like you're looking at my posts. The way you talk about it, you're looking for content and analyzing each one.

Ari took one post and said I'm trying to look busy. It feels like a safe push.

I mean, I feel like mist of your pists look hoid on the surface but have little to them. I have been reading and have maintained this, though with differing degrees of cinfidence.

Also, Ari I changed my mind on you because I thought Diamond was scum, and Kaede has convinced me you are scum. I think Diamond isn't scum anymore.

Thats alright, I look forward to a case at some point.

[Aristophanes]

the "something of power is hidden" thing

Not unless you know somethingwl we don't. Its all spec at this point and if it activates it activates. What is there to say?

[Aristophanes]

Also i would like to interact with art some more, but having been sick for about a week hasnt helped.

Anytimw yoy like, m'dear

[Aristophanes]

I wish I proofread phineposts...

[Aristophanes]

I assume it's a cruel play on the "voice and vote" typical message in PMs...

[Aristophanes]

Does anyone else have a word between dashes in their role pm?

Like "blablabla - word - blablabla" ?
Might all go together to make a sentence on the power!

[Aristophanes]

Okay, scratch that idea then

[Aristophanes]

My gut is telling me it's something with votes.

i concur

[Aristophanes]

Coooooool

[Aristophanes]

i have a bolded word in my role pm flavor

Oh??
See whatvos?


Maybrbis a key?

[Aristophanes]

reply to what now

274 I believe

[Aristophanes]

I've started reading but may not have a worthy post until late tonight or tomorrow sometime

We look forward to it!

[Aristophanes]

Good luck getting either into the thread though...

[Aristophanes]

Leslie checks the cock

[Aristophanes]

Anyone think Ari might be scum?

I, for one, do not!

However I would love to hear from the class!

Why do you think I might ve scum, Chicka?

[Aristophanes]

q.q

guys i’ve checked everything for hidden text

Well it has to be somewhere doesn't it?

[Aristophanes]

Inb4 Dunn is a lyncher on Bins

[Aristophanes]

Alright, here's the deal.

I've been sitting around wondering why everyone in this game was ignoring the confirmed setup I gave, and somehow were confused and thought it was multiball, but after reading the last page, I literally have just realized that I, in my infinite wisdom and focus, made a typo and wrote 7 instead of 9 (The setup being 4:9). This has been corrected in the OP. Because I'm guessing this silly error probably cost a bit of deliberation time, I'm adding a day and a half to the DL. I don't think this really changes anything about the game, so we should be good. Please accept my apology!

Love you buddy! XD

This is too fucking funny!

[Aristophanes]

Either way, I think we can stop with setup spec.

[Aristophanes]

You realize 2 up is the mod.

He's saying it as "to the power of" because of the second prod marker

[Aristophanes]

Oh.
I thought it was a selflynch joke

[Aristophanes]

You're so kind, Aero-san!

[Aristophanes]

oh u can't vote the mod
cool

Did you expect to?

[Aristophanes]

Welcome to the game, Nero. Activity's hit rock bottom.

[Aristophanes]

I would consider Dunn as well.

[Aristophanes]

UNVOTE:
I need to hammer votes.

Bringing attention to this

Do you intend to hammer this?

how is this mans alive

Tomorrow, Bins.

[Aristophanes]

Novice is clever! Gives them until at least D3 to live.

I don't like that.

[Aristophanes]

could do aristophanes,

he's being too nice

he's tryin be smooth and charismatic so we dont murder him

Senpai noticed me!!! <3

but in all seriousness? I'm smooth? That's news to me! XD

I have my reasons for not wanting to be murdered.

I sense a very strong likelihood that Kaede ane Chick are scumbuddies. The novice claim and Chick's general play mean neither is likely to die until D3 at least and if Kaede pull off a good result gambit (or is an actual cop lookong for their traitor friend which possibly balances the 9:4 ratio) they basically win then. D3 is a very possible lylo and I don't buy a cop on a 4 scum setup like this.

Kaede lynch, then Chick lynch. We'll consider Bins/Dunn after that.

[Aristophanes]

do yall just not like ari's !!!!!!!'s or smth

I have never loved a sheep this much! <3

could do aristophanes,

he's being too nice

he's tryin be smooth and charismatic so we dont murder him

This.

He's being too non-confrontational. It rubs me the exact wrong way, and I don't like it.

VOTE: Aristophanes

This game has been mostly setup spec and lost item searching. Nothing to be confrontational about! Now that there is something to work with I have stated spme thoughts and taken a hard stance. Does this change things for you?

[Aristophanes]

Novice makes no fucking sense in this ratio tho Bins!

How does Novice make sense???

[Aristophanes]

Novice makes no fucking sense in this ratio tho Bins!

How does Novice make sense???

You sound like scum who knows roles. How are you sure what's right or not in this setup or ratio?

I mean, novice means potential first result is in lylo. That's ridiculous by all accounts!

How does 4 scum make sense?

4 Mafia

9 Townies

I mean...

[Aristophanes]

lmfao the meta i had in my head for ari being scum was actually in a scum game of mine and he was town

I love it!

[Aristophanes]

What ISO? There are 10 posts, none of which strike me as anything worth noting. They're lurking, which they do incredibly commonly, regardless of alignment.

So you want a lurker lynch over a potential scum lynch with a dubious claim?

Hunh.

[Aristophanes]

Shit, N_M and I agree.

Is this a good or bad thing?

[Aristophanes]

Ari, N_M. Can you explain what you think of Drealz post that I pointed out?

This post?

if it's a townslot, I don't think it would have sat around as a viable wagon

What does this even mean? So you're saying town can't be mislynched?

I think he is a little misguided, but I don't see any scum intent in the post. Do you?

[Aristophanes]

Screw it. We need a lynch and I'll go for a Dunnstral lynch. I'd still prefer to get an Aristophanes lynch, but we've all got to compromise a bit especially this close to DL.

VOTE: Dunnstral

Why not Kaede?

This dunn push and the push on me feel manufactured and if you really were deadline compromising voting Kaede would make more sense

[Aristophanes]

Did we not elect that KxK was off the table with the cop claim?

I argue the opposite actually...

4 Mafia

I mean...

[Aristophanes]

Ari is clearly mafia trying to get a cop out of the way.

I bever attack cops as scum unless I am expendable! That's just dumb!
Nice work trying to reversw this on me though!

Ari how would you know what would or wouldn't work in this setup? You're talking as though you know more roles than just your own.

I know no more than anyone else, but 9:4 is not going to have a novice cop! I would bet on it if that were allowed!

Like, seriously.

[Aristophanes]

9:4 is not going to have a novice cop!

Why not?

I've talked this to death. Novice gets their first results N2 for D3. The setup is 9:4. If mislynches occur D1 and D2, which is entirely possible, the cop is irrelevant until lylo and has had 4 chances of getting killed otlr being forced to claim!

How is novicw cop even reasonable here in any of your minds!?

[Aristophanes]

Oh lol I didnt see the mechanic until now.

Looks cool! XD

[Aristophanes]

I will when you flip!

[Aristophanes]

hi

any post longer than like this post times three is a scumclaimhi

any post longer than like this post times three is a scumclaimhi

any post longer than like this post times three is a scumclaim

[Aristophanes]

Oh also, we're flipping VT not Novice Cop, dunno why Kokichi lied about that, but I actually thought all students were VT so smalltown.

I fucking called it!

God dammit guys!

[Aristophanes]

pagetop

he called that they werent novice cop

I never disputed that he didn't call that. I was adding to his statement.

Nice gif! XD

Youre right, I did say scum. This could still be theatre.

[Aristophanes]

Yeah, bad reaction by Ari. Maria > Drealz > Ari in order

Love you two too!

[Aristophanes]

Woooooo!

I forget what we've done so far lol

[Aristophanes]

Dunn and Bins?

[Aristophanes]

Oh...

I dont know then. All townflips have veen on scumreads of mine so I'll have to regroup!

[Aristophanes]

I wonder why Chick voted me

[Aristophanes]

Hi, it's been brought to my attention that I had meant to inform you all about part of the setup, and did not do so. The OP will be updated with this information.

Spoiler: Setup

This game's setup is

4 Mafia

7 Townies

[/spoiler]

i assumed this means a single, 4 player scumteam.
Is this correct?

[Aristophanes]

hi ari

Hey Sheepy!

Sorry I haven't done much yet I'm going to regroup and rethink tomorrow, maybe with a drink or two to ease my troubles here! I think that is best plan

[Aristophanes]

I'd prefer Chick, but we can't lynch them today, can we.

[Aristophanes]

Pedit: Nope

Damn. I shouldn't have voted to Exile them then
I misplayed!

[Aristophanes]

did you misplay or do that to your SCUM PARTNER HUH?
Bet you didn't see that coming Ari.

I really did

[Aristophanes]

I, uh, forgot about this game...

[Aristophanes]

Mafia, in chat?

[Aristophanes]

Welp

[Aristophanes]

Can we please not discuss the reporting progress in this game? I mean, for one thing I can't comment on it anyway, and for two, it is superfluous to gameplay.

I'd really appreciate it! TIA!

[Aristophanes]

I mean that behind the scenes things must stay that way so I am not going to comment on anything to do with it.

As for not being a part of gameplay, I mean, it's not. Therefore I don't see it having anything to do with this thread past "Oh, sheep was banned. I guess a replacement is needed."

I'm gonna stop now though as this is getting us nowhere.
Do you think Sheep-slot was scum?

[Aristophanes]

I'm probably going to just wait for replacements and massprod to occur tbqh.

Hopefully we can get some excitement going then!

[Aristophanes]

Soooooooo

I'll commit to hammering if anyone gets to L-1.

Uh, yeah. That's all I have for today.

[Aristophanes]

Probably just Chick and Bins. I could lynch Snarky anytime as I forget he is in the game until I see his name and then forget again 10 seconds later.

[Aristophanes]

I know for a fact Aero is really busy, so I'm not surprised.

This is part of why I am just waiting and why the deadline is paused I'm sure!

[Aristophanes]

This is my daily check in.

I may do something if I feel inspired at some point this week

[Aristophanes]

Yaaaaay!

[Aristophanes]

I volunteered to be one of the replacements, but it looks like this game is dying. I wonder if I can retract my replacement request and get Aeronaut to make me a backup mod instead.

Lol you probably could!
If he gives you setup info that is
(I kid, Aero! Don't worry!)

we don't even know who you're replacing and you're posting...how neat

Hahaha yeah, neat...

We didn't even know it was you until now!

Maybe players will return after the massprod?
I'll have to reread things to be relevant again but thats okay. This game being dead is saving me a lot of headaches.

Poor Chickadee though...

[Aristophanes]

......

[Aristophanes]

I never give up on a game, but meh I guess.

I was having fun

[Aristophanes]

Cool, I will start playing again once this gets going again, as promised!

[Aristophanes]

Meh

[Aristophanes]

If only we has a listmod here...

Kidding I can't do shit amyway! XD

[Aristophanes]

That seems harsh dreal.

Also, I found the hitten thing thats why the wording changed
