Silent Star 2: Menagerie

Loki wants me to feed him should I do so

[Ydrasse]

he deserves it yes

[Tayl0r Swift]

her lack of commitment and detachment is very scum-indicative. Mafia usually do feel detached in these nomination scenarios when they do not have anything at stake.

she doesn't have any completed longform mafia games as far as I can tell from looking at her history.

the ones you've listed are real-time ones.

If you believe she is mafia who do you think she recruits or would recruit her?

I think plus seems most likely based on ISOing a few of his games but a lot less sure on that. I’d feel a lot safer executing Tayl0r first just in case I’m wrong on plus but he’s currently my best guess based on my reads of the rest of the playerlist but I think Tayl0r!scum is super obvious. She blatantly contradicted herself which is usually a common scum tell. Her vote was “random”, then it was because Isis was a cat. Those two statements totally contradict each other, because she’s never voted anyone other than Isis and she has not given a single read since the execution phase started.

you point out an imaginary contradiction and then without letting me defend myself turn this around to say im assured of being scum? either youre confbiasing hard or youre straight up scum pushing LHF. either way, stop. im here now and im not gonna let you do that.

[Isis]

Taylor do you think Loki is scummy?

[Tayl0r Swift]

her lack of commitment and detachment is very scum-indicative. Mafia usually do feel detached in these nomination scenarios when they do not have anything at stake.

Especially when in those towngames I referenced, she played 180 degrees differently. And think about this, we all choose our respective animals because we actually LIKE those animals and therefore try to find the images we like the most but what does Tayl0r post? diseased sickly dogs. Do you think when she signed up for this game, she was enthusiastic to post those types of grotesque pictures? But she would very likely be upset if she got a red role PM and that very possibly could have affected the images she selected. Kanna managed to find cute bat picks but Tayl0r couldn’t even find one cute doggie?

And her growling and barking at Isis and me for liking one of her posts was strange and then she topped it off by voting for her both days, so hiding behind the Isis is a cat thing, how isn’t that antitown? But had she then not claimed it was “random”, at least it would be consistent but then she claims it wasn’t random, it’s because Isis was a cat. Now, if she was actually doing some solving here, making reads etc., I’d ignore all of the above but we have an important decision to make and Tayl0r apparently has no opinion on it and isn’t even putting a good faith effort in actually trying and when I contrast that with those three games of hers - marathon or not - the difference is clearly striking.

THIS IS SO MANIPULATIVE. if you know me youll know that i very much enjoy pushing buttons and posting images like that. i was having a blast. and had i rolled scum i probably would have done the same thing, and had even more fun doing it. youll see beaucoup shitposting in all my games (marathon games excepted somewhat because marathon games dont really allow time for that)

[Tayl0r Swift]

Taylor do you think Loki is scummy?

still catching up but at this point yes very much so.

This is another contradiction... you said you were in a rush to get to the phase where you could post unrestricted, and it's intuitive that collective tolerance for posting images would drop at that point. Now you say you were loving the post restricted phase

[Tayl0r Swift]

why can we disregard the n_m hammer?

because its NM

[Ydrasse]

nm still has an alignment this game though

[Tayl0r Swift]

hi, uh, haven't felt great so sorry for my absence here.

it's also shitty when i want to vote outside of the current people nommed and i don't have a choice and other than how i suggested some time ago i don't have a good metric to choose which one to vote. and that metric is more subjective to wifom than other ones. so there's that.

i have a hard time reconciling the idea of 'random voting'/gimmick voting when there was some thought put into the game from taylor — they made an assumption about how the game would play out, had an idea of where they wanted the game to progress to, and then did something that went against that. a repetition of 'i'm not sure/i didn't put thought in' etc is shitty too, but moreso because taylor hasn't tried to do anything today, too, and we're running out of time. like, we have 1107 toying around with the idea of no-elim but that is something to bring up way before now to talk about.

p-edit: okay well apparently we are getting down to the wire today with our content.

taylor, why did you do this to me.

sorry, i went to the outside today. i survived it, too.

[Tayl0r Swift]

prove it

[Tayl0r Swift]

[Removed reference to on-going games. -MT]

[Ydrasse]

okay, i get that. i've not skimmed the marathon ones linked because i don't think i personally could glean anything from something that condensed but i will make do w them

[Isis]

yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes

yeah i made the most of it. it was fun, and i had a couple pictures left when we moved to animal 2. but that said, i didnt feel like it was productive. so it wasnt *fun* in a mafia-playing way. it was fun in an i-get-to-post-odd-pictures-and-be-annoying way.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

we really shouldn't talk about ongoing games.

I don't think we will get anywhere debating meta because it's just silly.


Tayl0r can you give us a readslist or just a quick summary of your thoughts on who you feel the strongest about?

like holy shit if i were scum i feel like id have a better story about my posts than that, or id just effort. if you think this is a scumslip you must think im very very very stupid. thats pretty disrespectful honestly.

[Tayl0r Swift]

town: ydrasse, kanna, morning.
scum: loki (isis, drusilla)

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i mean i might be less engaged in a low stakes phase like this as mafia but id be enjoying pulling strings

from my own experience as mafia in a nom game - the game just feels different when the elim-pool is all town, I'm not sure if you've had this experience before.

[Tayl0r Swift]

and im not saying we should discuss my ongoing games. im just saying you can read over them to get a sense.

nope. sorry, im just speculating on how id feel.

[Tayl0r Swift]

im realizing morning is in a different game altogether.

[Ydrasse]

lmfao

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

yes but you definitely should not say anything about your alignment or literally anything about your on-going games - it is against site rules

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

this is a new level of disengagement
