[Datisi]

Why do I get a feeling I'm being set up as the lynch in f5

[clidd]

Hum.

[Datisi]

Right now I’m less inclined to vote Mara over Datisi. I’m prob not going to move my vote as of yet unless something more appealing happens. It’s just the motives for the fishing. It just didn’t feel ~natural~.

Like
Page 1, someone goes and lolclaims mason like first post
I question it because what else does one do in a game of mafia during RVS?
~didn't feel natural~
Get outta here

[Datisi]

Did you read any of the ISOs
Progressions that I've had vs that Marashu had
No
This is all based on Maras three posts today and me questioning a page 1 mason claim? Ok

[Datisi]

VOTE: Mala
Let's see where this goes.

[clidd]

Tonight's a night I do have some time. This is out of game stuff so read into it as you will, but I'm a software developer for a company that makes software for food banks. I'm usually working during the day and on the odd evening (like last night) I may need to do some extra hours to try getting some features rolled out in time considering the state of thing, but as a general rule I make a point of ending by 4:30. When I signed on I figured I would have a few hours to play per evening and probably an hour in the morning before work, but I've been sleeping through my alarm lately and not having time to post in the morning. As for the evenings, when I signed up I failed to factor in that my wife would also have a lot of extra time (she's normally a busy person and is usually not home in the evenings), and has been expecting my attention. To be specific:
Post 450 was interrupted
Post 1179 was distracted (and I was told that if I can't split my attention then I shouldn't be posting in the first place)

I try to at least read posts during work breaks so I can at least stay caught up on what's happening, but I try to do more analysis when I revisit it later. I'm making efforts to at least manage my time and my posts better as I adapt, which I hope are coming through D2.

Just one more question: what country are you currently living in ?

[Marashu]

PS - My timezone is EDT (I'm in Canada).

[clidd]

Oh.

[clidd]

[clidd]

Your alibi for absence is true, and the fact that you have previously cited your location is too far in time to characterize an anticipated bluff.

How did I miss this detail ?

[skitter30]

partly tempted to drop the lolhammer, but i really don't intend to let mala coast through the gameday with only page 1 discussion and vote.

so, uh... how's everyone?

i want mala to have more content and I'm not ready for hammer yet

[skitter30]

I find the case lackluster and also feel like more scrutiny is required, and find it odd that you seem to have just accepted the little that mala shared and are ready to move to the next day.

why arent you really pushing mala then?

[skitter30]

''I have to agree that I think there’s scum between the experienced players {Datisi, clidd & Skitter}''

- The previous premise that it would not be natural for a newbie to come to the conclusion that the claim was true appears to be in line with the reasoning behind this agreement.

can you explain this bit again?

[skitter30]

On an unrelated note: I know how overwhelming feels during this Covidbullshit. I am a prehospital healthcare worker (during my free time) + a grocery worker ($$$) + a paramedic student. I have so many ~feels~

:/
I'm having a p hard time being motivated rn
or even like reading the posts and getting anything out of it; i keep reading things and feeling like i didn't absorb any of it

[skitter30]

yeah i'm not loving mala's posting today either
I'm not ready for a mara hammer just yet either

I'm cool with this for now VOTE: mala

[clidd]

I feel like a bomb went off near me and I need some time to think. I will be back later.

[skitter30]

I don't like how you're trying to rush the day. There was a lull because people were waiting for mala to post more details about the case on Dat. I find the case lackluster and also feel like more scrutiny is required, and find it odd that you seem to have just accepted the little that mala shared and are ready to move to the next day. It feels like it doesn't matter what mala had posted because you are committed to ending the day. You wanted to hold off a fast lynch for discussion, but you seem resolved that discussion has reached its end.

Also, at the start of the day you didn't remember that I had already claimed on D1. Maybe you did forget, but if you were town I feel like you would be keeping track of people to make sure they stay consistent.

As for your votes for me, on D1 your case was that whether I was town or mafia, my flip would benefit town, and that you don't want someone with a low post count in lylo. You had the same wishy-washy approach to sr'ing Wu on D1, at one point indicating you would vote for him but wanted to wait for a while, and later coming back ready to hammer when others were also ready to hammer. Now today it sounds like your reasoning is:

As I see, mar is going to be the next lynch.

(That's a bit of a harsh strawman, so allow me to rephrase for your actual case. At the start of the day you thought that I might be town but assert that what I say should not change the lynch. Then you comment that the same thing that happened on D1 might be happening on D2, and in the same post ask for a list of other possible lynch candidates. This is another red flag to me - why do you want other people to come up with lynch candidates? You later go on to say that I will be lynched today or tomorrow, and that you just want to get it done today.)

You seem convinced to lynch me regardless of whether I am town or scum. I have to ask: Am I your top scum read? Or are you voting for me because you believe my lynch would benefit the town?

This is my first vote. I'm happy about it, its like having a birthday in mafia (not considering mads brief vote on the slot).
So, moving on:
-So, u actually put some thought on this one. That is good.
-U r talking about my D1, yes. And yes, it is a harsh strawman. Number of posts has nothing to do with activity. U were, at that time, VERY inactive, with an at best pale interpretation of the game. I dnt rly need to explain myself on this, since so many ppl already stated ur iioa, on the few posts u had. Was that enough to vote u? No. What changed? ur strategic position respecting the wu/men affair. If u flipped town, Id assume gw as town at the time. I've said it many times, my ISO should have said plenty to u.
-And regarding wu, again, I said I would THINK things through bc I was ANGRY, not VOTE him after a while; and that us what I did, and believing the last posts were the last spams of a catched scum due to gw being young, I missread him as scum. In retrospective, it was a bad decision, since u were indeed more informative despite everything and those spams were not of frustration of being catched as scum. And about the hammer, well, tbh that was both timing and a technical difficulty. I dnt rly know how hammers work in this forum. I mean, do I get the concense of every town? Do I announce and ultimately make the last call? Do i wait until the possible hammered manifest or a reasonable spawn of time? And truth being said, I am still confused by it. I intended to vote u and hammer u, and tried to explain it the best way as possible.
-Now, for D2. I stated the POSSIBILITY of u being town. Bc, again, u comply with a perfect candidate for a lynch:
You have scumness enough by urself, and u r in the middle of 2 strong scum candidates of mine, skitt and men. U being town would lead to skitt, u being scum would lead to mala. U, again, r both informative and scummy. Now, we have a proportion of 5/2 town/scum today; tomorrow, it will be 3/2 if we misslynch u, a Lylo wich the possible town candidates may have begun to be planted today. So, as I see, the scumness of ur slot wont go anywhere; I believed we should have investugated thoroughly the other slots. We are talking about a Datisi, a clidd, not just mala/mara. There are 2 scums, even if u r one there must be another, if we agree to lynch a mar we may either or save a Lylo, if scum now cant go back on his word, or lynch with a 2/6, even more excluding the townread by everyone (wich may as well just die tomorrow), and 2/5 as an individual probability excluding ones own scum possibility. Thats almost as good as a lylo by itself.
What changed? Well, if u reread the thread, even if it is still beginning its based mostly on u and mala. Not exclusively? but centered around. And Malas post was as expected from a replacement of a thread of this magnitude. Now thinking, maybe I can get something more from Mala, yes; but I believe it is better to center the talk about today.
So, I voted on u. A L-1, mind u of that. If things keep going like this, I dnt have much to say myself, as Im not sure I can rly read as easily a replaced slot, and if ir helps or helped to spice things up, the that is a good thing by itself.
As for the track thing, people are falible. That was a mistake. Plain as that. Do remember this is my first match.

u and hammer u

I feel like a bomb went off near me and I need some time to think. I will be back later.

Is this figurative? R u all right?

Right now I’m less inclined to vote Mara over Datisi. I’m prob not going to move my vote as of yet unless something more appealing happens. It’s just the motives for the fishing. It just didn’t feel ~natural~.

What about it is unnatural? She posted the past game to get a reaction, surely...

Like, I can't see it as fishing for information, because TRQ created the situation to have the game move out of RVS. Surely she wanted people to interact with it, and Datisi did exactly that. I try to put myself on the shoes of scum!Datisi that knows she's fishing for reactions, and I can't see the question getting answered in a way that gives him an advantage, so I don't see why would scum do that.

[Maduisha]

Also, Word, this is out of topic and I hope you won't get offended by it, but please use more spaces between your paragraphs... when I read your posts, I see that you have a point you want to drive home, but the structure of the message comes off as a gigantic block of text and it's harder for me to digest the information in it.

I would appreciate it greatly if you tried to separate in paragraphs, but I'll understand if it's your writing style and choose to disregard this. It's just a suggestion.
