mod notes

~ everyone has confirmed
~ i will count new year's eve and day to be 24 hours for prod times, and nobody will get replaced for inactivity during that time
~ this is the setup where i cannot use my vote counter and must count votes by hand, so let me know if i make any mistakes

HEAL: mcesther
HEAL: looker

VOTE: mbot

[Galron]

Haha Looker. Nice one. Hopefully not a lot of subs this game. Getting a coalition locked in will give us a step in the right direction for POE.

Very stiff.

[mc esther]

i dont get why looker's town but i'll accept it for now

HEAL: looker

mbot heal someone you said you wanna lock a coalition in heal someone (ya that post pings super hard)

[Umlaut]

Hi, just got home after a five-hour flight and not in the mood to start thinking about Mafia yet, just posting so you know I'm here.

HEAL: enchant

i think scum would be more explicit in why theyre voting for me, because it's difficult for them to gauge how plausible an accusation looks to people without their knowledge. to town, if it's self-evident why a post is scummy, you dont really feel the need to explain that, you know it's obvious to town because it was obvious to you! scum dont get a genuine unfiltered town-equivalent "obvious to them".

that's my five btw, esther/galron/andante/looker/enchant.

[MBot]

I didn't realize there was such a rush to lock in a coalition without any data to make my choices. I'm always stiff it's NAI. Galron has been trigger happy from first post of the game

oh, i haven't seen you in a while

[mc esther]

mbot reads scum to me in the sort of way that makes me think im wrong

VOTE: esther
31 seems faked, esther doesn't consider that enchant's vote could be rvs and such

[mc esther]

yes, it is kinda forced ("fake"? eh). im trying to hard read enchant off these early game posts because, we might not really get that much else. enchant's vote clearly isnt rvs though.

[Looker]

HURT: mc esther sorry, ma'am, we don't do fakes at my table HEAL: looker I'll keep your seat warm, though. I think we should do the regular voting for context, we have the time; however, I've never studied the benefits of inconsequential voting. It'll probably be more telling as we get closer to deadline.

Happy New Year and all that - I'll get more serious after the holidays

[T3]

true, true.

tbh almost all of your posts feel like you're drawing water from a stone

[mc esther]

ikr i think it's pretty cool

[mc esther]

im gonna start voting when i see heals piling up on someone i, uh -- my phrasing's awkward here but im trying to be specific --, disbelieve to be town (or if we're converging on a a five-person coalition i agree with, i'll vote for the member im least sure of)

[Galron]

Me knee jerking to rvs is scummy?

[Datisi]

now that the holidays are over, i am sending all players a general reminder that this game exists. it will not count as a prod for anyone.

[Andante]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

[T3]

happy new year except in some far off timezone maybe

[Umlaut]

HEAL: Galton

Strong gutread from #6.

HEAL: Esther

I saw what others saw with Esther''s seemingly "forced" tone/style, but their immediately copping to it being forced with zero self-consciousness makes that a lot better for me. Take it away and what's left is some good, fairly thoughtful early reads.

[mc esther]

looker, you self-healed ostensibly to preserve your exactly four slots, why is four so significant to you? and why was self-healing not something you considered worthwhile in your first post, but then something that you preferred to healing literally anyone else (e.g., t3)?

[Enchant]

Are you kidding me.
Suhh.

I decided to pick once per some days. And hmmm...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Mmmmmm.

HEAL: T3

[Looker]

Prod received.

I don't want to make the mistake of healing a full coalition, but I also don't want to forget to make a coalition. Being one off allows me to procrastinate without having to do too much work all at once. Still confident in my ProHawk, vote, though; I don't think he should sit with anyone in the cafeteria.
