TM 2021: A normal roguelike

[Datisi]

her being difficult and arguing about this stuff is town-indicative
our records show she's floaty and less antagonistic as scum

can you talk how exactly was she being difficult here? like, she's started "arguing" about it only after i asked?

[Augustus Caesar]

her leading into discussion about forming early townreads and how she thinks it's scum-indicative
prodding Grumpy on his read on you

why am i 'off' ari

[xRECKONERx]

i only had 4 posts prior to you saying this so it should be EXTREMELY ez for you to point out where i feel 'off'

[xofelf]

Gotta say the multiposting thing is going to kill me. It just feels like noise for the sake of noise and my eyes kinda glaze over as I read it. I also can't keep track of which is which, and who they're supposed to be underneath the alt, which is making that slot so much harder to read.(I also don't remember if it was just one of the public alts hyperposting or both, so that's a bad sign)
I am liking DV so far. The questions do feel like they're coming from a genuine place. I guess the term is solving? But it just feels like good reaction poking and I'm here for it.
Ari my love, why do you feel funny to me? There's this tone underneath your posts that don't quite feel genuine and more performative. Idk if it's AI, I just know unlike usual, reading your posts made my nose wrinkle up.
That's what I got for now.

this 100%

the stupid fucking open alts rule is very bad and dumb and creates more legwork for people to open a tab and have to crossreference who is saying what bc of the alts, the spamposting is ridiculous (out of the first ~100 posts nearly HALF of them are solely from ari + hectic), and the forced shtick of posting in character with images at the end of every post or whatever the hell hectic is doing is sapping my will to live

but i signed up to play team mafia, so i will play team mafia. i am just not going to engage with hectic's shtick for my own sanity. if my team wants to read it they can and fill me in. actually ill ask them to do that right now.

xof's post 100% lines up with my headspace atm so i'm feeling big town energy there

All day all day all day

Oh eh oh

Happy Birthday, xofelf!
You don't need to keep track of all the characters and distinguish between them. It's not like they'll all have different reads or takes, we're all part of the same hivemind after all. I prompted Puff a person she'd like to speak to but I'll forgo that aspect in the future.

This game has only 5 pages and you're complaining about "spamposting"? Also, you could read my posts while

ignoring

the image at the end... I know, insane concept. Your reaction to this whole thing reads as over the top.

why am i 'off' ari

Maybe "off" is bad wording, but I'm going to keep an eye on you this game.

I've made the executive decision not to read any of Hectic's posts this game because I fucking hate stupid posting gimmicks

I know this is probably based in genuine displeasure but the posts are legit not hard to read and if you take out the obvious flourishes there's good content there.

Why are you disregarding a slot that is active and will generate a lot ov activity and reads so early in the game?

oh wow adorable straight up dipped on DV's line of questioning

VOTE: Adorable

Adorable is strange and easy to vote and I think this shows exactly what I mean. It looks like it could be an opportunistic jump onto them.

[xRECKONERx]

i'm not doing extra work to "take out" the flourishes and get to the meat of the content, i have three other games to keep up with as part of team mafia at the same time, and i'm starting a new job next week. it's a cost benefit analysis. i find the fact people are allowed to play on alts extremely annoying, i find the posting quirk extremely annoying -- and there's a high ratio of annoying quirky posts compared to the rest of the game. if hectic wants me to read posts they could just post normally instead of wrapping it behind a layer of alt account shtick? why is it on me to accommodate hectic's posting?

i'm disregarding the slot for my own ability to keep up with and read the game and not be miserable. i've asked my team to help me read hectic's posts. if hectic wants to drop the style ill read and respond to what they have to say.

as for your point about adorable, taken a diff way, it's "well adorable's meta is to be strange and an easy vote". i know nothing about adorable. i've never seen them before. and meta is trash anyway. i voted adorable bc of their exchange with DV, which i already said. that's not "strange". that's a straight up lie. adorable claimed to vote on nothing just pure RVS... then upon being questioned explained they did ACTUALLY vote for a reason... and then upon being pushed further by DV, completely ignored DV and jumped onto other things. that's scummy. idgaf about their meta.

[xRECKONERx]

i'm probably being overly hostile ab this bc i heavily disagree w/ the acceptance of open alts and am annoyed this allowance was made after the fact by the Team Mafia listmods so my act of rebellion is to just not read the shit i dont want to read ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

if you're interested in talking about my adorable read or xof read or dv read let me know ari. i think your jump onto me looks gross rn

[Augustus Caesar]

There is literally no reason to be ignoring my last few posts directed at you when there's essentially no "gimmick" to them other than the image at the bottom. It feels like you're being difficult for the sake of being difficult.

Also, what's the issue with open alts when apparently "meta is trash". Why do you even care about the holder of this alt when meta means nothing to you? Read the Augustus Caesar slot as the Augustus Caesar slot. Who cares if it's Hectic behind it and it's an open alt?

More votes on RECK please. Gonna prod my teammates to see if I'm not too biased in this read though.

Hopkirk thoughts:

-Doesn't get immediate townpings on Adorable like he did in Death Curse
-Doesn't think it's impossible for Reck to just be angry town. His impression of him is that he gets angry at stuff for no reason
>Is now giving him a quick skim on the relationships thread in the speakeasy lol
>I asked him what he found and he didn't reply. I think he was joking
-Says that his vague memory of previous games with him suggest it could come from town!him

[Augustus Caesar]

Alright, so Hop thinks I could be overreacting. We talked about it a little and Reck's play isn't really scum-motivated, it's just annoying me because it doesn't make sense to me. It actually makes enemies without a clear upside so unless he thinks it'll be read as legit and get him townread it's slight +town (I can hear Grumpy Cat grumbling away in the background).

He suggested I put Hectic in my signature and that's a good idea.

[Adorable]

do you have thoughts on me yet?

I did not like the way how you voted me saying I look fake.

puff puff puff
how much have you spoken to your team about reads or anything?

I asked my team what do they think of the players after I made #85 and one of them gave me their takes. I'll get to that in about 15-30 minutes.

[The Bulge]

@reck when you play scum and feel like a certain level of ~rage~ would be appropriate, do you find you are more likely to fake the emotion to fit the play, or do you prefer to allow real emotions to dictate your posting for a more natural effect?

[The Bulge]

@ari, thoughts on 107? I'm not a big fan of the answer you gave

I didn't like the way how you just straight up voted me saying I dipped and without even engaging with me. I went to bed after I responded to DV and don't expect me to respond right away because I'm not active.

Was this Hopkirk's meta read on Reck? I have had bad experience on meta reads because the players who town read a player for meta turned out to be scum in the end.
