Mini Normal 2125: Chiptune Mafia [The End]

[Ame]

Pocketed by Conspire's avatar. Like I'm never voting that, ever.

[Robbnva]

This reminds me of middle school. First crush

Plz no more Osie alts, I swear to god

Hey

Ame

!



I asked

Y'shtola

her experience since I've seen newer players be more passive in gameplay before, or at least a

"I'll engage as you want and we'll see where it goes"

mentality, which is also common in players generally at gamestart.

She's new, so I don't think her posts are agenda-based, if she were scum, I'd also think she may be more avoidant of a direct player as yours truly.

The people I'm more suspicious of right now are

Pops

1)

Upon asking for her vote, she diverts the attention toward someone on the same wagon.

2)

She has not been present much beyond just suspecting a wagoned player, it's hard to find nuance off of her current posts.
and

Taco

1)

He was the most recent on

Fuzzy

wagon but hasn't even followed-through with the reasoning of his vote.

2)

Kind of just dismissed the votes on him.

Even then, these aren't notable scumreads at the moment. Also

{Eyestott, Aloratom, Rabid Schauzer}

are all different shades of

"idk"

as I don't know of anything memorable they've or done so far. I doubt this is an all town group.

I have 2, maybe 3 solid townreads right now, and if they're all town, this game becomes much easier. Since this game has begun slowly, it's harder to parse what lack of activity or contribution is town or scum motivated... so I'm trying to avoid the trap of townreading whoever engages with me.

[Robbnva]

I like how you bold the names. Good man

I believe we have left the realms of RVS now. Care to state your business? I am not a roleblocker.

This resonates with me, and I am willing to give Y'shtola Rhul more time and space, as pressure may make her feel uneasy as a new player. Your vibrations are soothing.

Paragon, I like the way you think. I’m looking through each persons ISO posts, got anything you’d like to specifically get my opinion on?
And aloes, I mostly agree with you RE: 135 and Conspire. The single post also reads like he’s trying to seem more involved than he actually is.

Hi, eyestott! I would love to get your thoughts on Y'shtola Rhul. She seemed to vote for Fuzzy with little thought, and has not provided much independent opinions of her own. When I asked her for her read and reasoning on Aloratom, I wasn't very satisfied with her response, as it lacked specifics and I couldn't really understand what she meant.

Okiedokie!

One thing of potential significance with Yshtola is this:

Y'shtola

, are you an alt or new to mafia?

I am Y'shtola Rhul, and I have experience only in one completed game so far. I died quite fast, sadly.

Looking at the completed game, Yshtola played a Mason in a nightless setup with no daytalk, so essentially an inno who knows that some other people are inno. This lack of scum experience could potentially lead to her making rather rookie mistakes, so I won't be ruling out scumtells on the basis of it being an easy mistake to avoid.

Spoiler:

I'm doing the mafTiger theme this whole ass game, so, all of y'all are morally obligated to immediately choose how long I remain in this game pending on how sane you want me to be.

Hello! I am Y'shtola Rhul, a scholar in aetherology and member of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.

Feel free to ask me questions at any time!

yo, wanna wagon with me?

Sure, I'm willing to help with wagons.

VOTE: TheFuzzylogic99

Doesn't particularly indicate towniness or scumminess, though I feel like a first-time scum would definitely be a bit keen to get their violence started.
Posts #57, #63, and #92

p-edit

Is there anything specific that you would like to know, Taly?

I liked that you're not afraid to put a vote down, but do you even have a reason to suspect

Fuzzy

? How do you feel about

pops'

vote since she is concerned with yours?

I am afraid that the aether of the players within the game are muddled for me at the moment. If you ask me later on, I might have a clearer idea of whether they are Warriors of Light or Sin Eaters.

Meh... so you don't have any specific read? What's your vote for?

Did you not ask for my vote? I voted to help you wagon TheFuzzylogic99 as requested.

Yeah, but why did you? I asked, I didn't demand.

Because you asked!

seems to indicate a lack of experience more than a specific alignment, I feel.
However, her posts replying to Paragon about Aloratom (#123 and #131) are a bit of a red flag to me:

Spoiler:

Y'shtola Rhul! What comes to mind when you think of Aloratom?

Other than how handsome he is obviously.

He could stand to raise his voice some more, but otherwise he's quite alright.

Mind explaining where these feelings of quite alrightness come from?

I like his matter of fairness. It is quite refreshing, actually.

While the chance of Yshtola and Aloratom both being scum is statistically quite low, I believe that this is the exact way that someone like Yshtola would talk about their scum-mate. And fairness? Why does fairness equate to towniness? Part 2: Aloratom coming soon.

Ame!

I'm not digging into this game super easily so far.

Wiisp is becoming a townread, because of the reverse survivalism inherent in aggravating Robbnva without actually getting votes onto him (man part of me wants to abbreviate "Robbnva" but I have played with Rob14 before and that makes it feel kinda wrong?)

I sympathize with Taly scumreading my slot, he wasn't explicit about it but I sense he's fairly allocating a Burden of good player on people, likewise giving Y'shtola a pass. Y'shtola seems to play kind of scummy as town, to me, I was in the mason game, although in that game being a mason is actually surprisingly similar to being scum so I'm not sure how much that counts for. I hope she plays later.

How nasty are nomnomnom's deadline? I'm not actually minding the slow pace in terms of fun factor, but if AI needs to be to be forced out then yada yada

[Ame]

Spoiler:

No but really no. Maybe I'll tell you some day. Refrigerator.

Hey

Ame

!

Tai! I didn't recognize you without the rwby gifs. So this is what you look like as town.

The trainee sends her regards, Ame.

Oh my

No wonder why I felt a spiritual connection to this slot <3

[Ame]

Actual content soon. Or just reads really.

[Aloratom]

Really? What gave you that impression? Do you think the fact they've posted only once means they're avoiding the thread?

It could be avoidance, I guess. It could be lurking. It could be not knowing what to say. It could be not having anything to add. It could be life getting in the way. I don't know.

[Paragon]

Thank you, eyestott! I am glad someone else sees what I'm seeing regarding Y'shtola Rhul. I do feel a little bad now however since this is only her second game. I will give her time to state more opinions before deciding whether I would like to re-place my vote there. Looking forward to part 2!

Would you be willing to wagon them with me? I will be happy to join you in a vote there if you were to place one. I believe we should encourage them to return to the game to continue participating.

I like this post!

Any other posts the past 4 pages?

There's not a whole lot there. I don't have much of a handle yet.

Did you really like the post or were you just joking because of the handsome bit?

[popsofctown]

VOTE: Aloratum not handsome

[Paragon]

Actual content soon. Or just reads really.

This is exciting! I have some harmless questions for you.

1) How excited are you to play this game on a scale of 1 to 10?
2) Additionally, how upset would you be if we were to lynch you today on a scale of 1 to 10?

Reverse survivalism? Can you parse that first sentence for me please?

[popsofctown]

Scum care more about getting lynched than town, generally, at least in a game with nightkills. Wiisp's actions seemed to increase his odds of Wiisp getting lynched with an aggravated Robbnva voting the wagon. Therefore, Wiisp is >rand for town.

Taly, Paragon, Yshtola, Alo, New Beginnings

Angelic (npo):

eyestott*, Robb, Taco

Gotcha. Thanks.
