With 13 alive, it’s 7 to lynch. The Day 1 deadline is in (expired on 2020-07-14 12:17:59).

[Umlaut]

Prodging, going to try and catch up tomorrow but just not feeling up to Mafia-ing tonight

[Snowblaze]

...

...you know, it would be a lot easier to read you if you explained things without being asked occasionally.

I don't really know what anyone wants me to explain.

In this case, the vote for someone you haven’t previously mentioned without giving reasoning.

Ydrasse has posted thrice in the span of over 72 hours since this game started.

And Sujimichi has posted once, yet you’re not voting for them. Why is that?

(Also, Umlaut is confirmed scum for offences against grammar.)

Sujimichi claims to be busy and has indeed not been posting anywhere online (citation). Ydrasse, however has been posting in other places on site but decided not to post in this game (citation).

[Mohab500]

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of activity yesterday. I am really demotivated atm, I will try and see if I can post today, again sorry for this.

[Fredrick A Campbell]

Bear with me since I rarely play setups besides the Newbie one, but is Holden being post-restricted? I don't remember which game it was that had a player similarly bound by pirate-speak.

in contrast to Mohab's setup question - this i like

Homura usually plays newbie games and she's apparently played in game where a player had a pirate speak post restriction before so this is a legitimate question to ask
it being a legitimate question means she could've asked it in her scum PT or not suspected it in the first place if scum have said soemthing about the open setup in there

it's minor High Seas points to Homura - let's just say 1 actually i don't do halves

~Eve

I would like to point out that mafia doesn't have daytalk and Homura thus couldn't have asked it in the scum PT. Also, scum might not have said anything about the open setup in there, causing what we observed.

[Snowblaze]

*raises eyebrows* I read through the setup, and I didn't notice anything about mafia not having daytalk... scumslip? Or am I just blind?

@mod

do mafia have daytalk?

Where is this specified?

@mod

Yes. I'll edit this into the setup section.

[Eevee]

I have a tentative guess for who you might be too but unsure

Spoiler:

~Eva

[Eevee]

I've played with RCEnigma two-ish times and he seems very different.

Fwiw I don't think Frederick is with snow or ydrasse. Feel less strongly about Frederick not being with menalque.

Strongly believe menalque is not with snow or ydrasse since I know that he would know this is an anti-bus setup.

It seems a bit early to look for partners, no? And I think these conclusions come from very mild shade; not sure they mean much.

Isn't it that no daytalk is the default?

[Eevee]

These 3 had good tone and I mindmelded on the first two

How could you mindmeld on the first one(!?)

I know Eve hates dumbtells, and while I think I'm more lenient on them, it seems unrealistic Mohab thought there were power roles in this game? It feels like Mohab didn't read the setup at all, so then why did he choose to play this game? Many questions.

[Fredrick A Campbell]

Why do you think this?

~Eva

"Mafia may have daytalk without an Encryptor as long as it is announced in the game's rules beforehand."

So, if no such announcement is made, there is no daytalk without an encryptor and no daytalk is thus the default.

~Eva

Because my initial reaction to seeing holden’s pirate speak was “yeah I cbf to decipher that”

Interesting that Eve hates dumbtells, I wouldn’t have guessed that. And idk, but I didn’t do exactly read the setup closely. Maybe mohab received an invitation and decided to accept on the basis of that + a good PL and moderator?

[Eevee]

Oh my bad, I meant the second one, and it was meant to be a joke...

In any case, I can confirm we sent invites a while after we signed up, and everyone who joined afterwards was invited. Mohab was not invited.

~Eva

[Raya36]

It made it clear that it was all a reaction test and I really don't think scum would start the game by trying to pull that off when the stakes are high

Eh, not exactly a reaction test but sure

Could you explain what it was then?

[Eevee]

Hmm, I *think* that looks good for Frederick?

~Eva

[Raya36]

I think Fredrick is ok. No slip there. Unless he backpedaled hard and successfully

[Fredrick A Campbell]

What is "backpedaled"?

[Umlaut]

Yeah, thinking that's a genuine townslip from Fredrick. (Note to Fredrick: This isn't a "Normal Game" but an Open, and doesn't have to follow the rules about normal games)

[Fredrick A Campbell]

Yeah, thinking that's a genuine townslip from Fredrick. (Note to Fredrick: This isn't a "Normal Game" but an Open, and doesn't have to follow the rules about normal games)

So if there is nothing about daytalk in the rules, there might be daytalk?

[Umlaut]

I mean I agree it probably should have been in the rules already one way or the other, and that it's reasonable to assume no daytalk.
