Perfect Masquerade [Game Over]

[Lady 8]

I smell a chainsaw running.

[Gentleman 6]

anyway

if he was town he'd say he's just leaving

he wouldn't say "he wants L3 to leave."

[Gentleman 3]

Gentleman 3, you are so very much reading posts that I'm writing and drawing an entirely different conclusion from them than what I intend and it's really quite frustrating.

If this is the case, I apologize.

But I'm obviously not doing it on purpose. Sometimes things that you think are obvious aren't really. It almost never hurts to humble yourself and explain it.

[Gentleman 4]

Eh. I honestly don't care at this point. I have put more time and energy per real life day into this game than I have in any other game of mafia. And that's more than 7 years of mafia. I feel so solid on this read right now.

[Gentleman 5]

I could actually go for a Misty flip though.

G6 consider my vote for G1 at this time, but you gotta talk the lady into it.

[Gentleman 4]

What is a chainsaw defense?

[Gentleman 4]

That's a joke, by the way.

Unfortunately playing mafia forever doesnt equate to accurate reads.

[Gentleman 4]

The joke is funny, because calling what I'm doing a chainsaw defense and legitimately believing it is like trying to lynch firebringer when he opens with "I rolled scum guys" in the RVS stage of a game.

[Gentleman 1]

L5 is the only person who's put an ounce of thought into what will happen after I pair.

Everyone else refuses to do it and is just saying "make a decision already" without telling me how they will respond to what decision I make, as though I don't deserve to know that in order to factor it into my decision.

What you talk about here and in your other posts on the same page tell me L5 seemed like a great match for you. So why would you not pick her? Actually, I can figure that out myself: you didn’t think that would reflect well on you. Well maybe it would not have, but grandstanding about the situation reflects worse than that would, that I can be sure of.

(if he pairs with L5, hes getting speedlynched tomorrow)

Orly?

Which, btw, is something I know L5 won't do.

I am concerned that G3 seems extra concerned about how he’s being read and wants to gauge how his potential partner is being read too

This is, or should be, the entire point of pairing. Townreads with townreads, nulls with nulls, scumreads with scumreads, then eliminate them generally from the bottom up.

But there's no consensus on me. And nobody is endeavoring to form one. They're trying to use my pair to determine their read on me, which is backwards.

Then ask L5??????????

This is stalling, you know it, I know it. Theres over 50 pages of information, you should have some semblence of who to pick at this point.

I think there is a reason why you havent picked L5.

Is it because you dont townread her, or because you both are scum?

G5 being so matched with me in how we view this makes me feel just that much better about my beliefs. I recall G6 throwing some hate his way as well, so I definitely get the sense the mafia at this point are just {G3, L5, G6}.

Time and energy, on the other hand, does.

And I wasn't saying I felt solid because of my time in mafia, I was saying it because of time and energy, hence sentence structure.

[Lady 2]

Ballsy as hell for scum-G4 to jump in to save scum-G1 at this point, but if it worked and got rid of G6 as Townleader early in the bargain too I mean

With talk of the great mastina and now this, Im really having ptsd

[Gentleman 3]

So why would you not pick her?

Read on and find out

[Gentleman 3]

Or, you know, make stupid guesses and ad hoc modifications to support your preconception. Your choice.

Careful G1, you just scumclaimed to G3 and L2

[Gentleman 3]

Huh?

Chill hes obviously rereading, despite what he says

[Lady 6]

What if the scumteam is G1 G4 and G8?

G6 can you link your path to victory? I'm working 12 hour days until the weekend.

notice that

scum are both pushing the agenda that i'm scum all of a sudden

because they realize there is no path to endgame without killing me via lynch

[Gentleman 3]

Chill hes obviously rereading, despite what he says

Yeah but he also already seems to have an opinion despite not knowing any of the context.

[Gentleman 4]

No, he can't.

I already asked him for it and his response was "if you try to lynch me, you're scum."

[Gentleman 1]

I would like to see my primary suspects of L5 and G3 go before I consider actually working on G6. My feelings about G6 are rather predicated on my perspective of the game being right, so if it is wrong I don’t want to do so much damage that the game probably goes down the drain. Which is what likely happens if I scratch and claw for G6 to go.

Whats really sad is I honestly thought you and G6 were going to reveal some damning information during the dance and town autowins.

We never got your reads

Btw, that quote says G5, but I did not say that.
