TM 2021: A normal roguelike

[Aristophanes]

Absolutely!

I am going to Iso them and do a Datisi thing later today. Right now I'm here in a mostly reactionary capacity.

[xRECKONERx]

Is anyone here is there something I should know before I read back?
My team has been yelling at me while I do other things and I am starting to feel bad.

VOTE: beeboy

play the fucking game or gtfo

[xRECKONERx]

I never said I have been paranoid of scum defending me. I was talking about Summer who said she was paranoid of Hectic defending her. midwaybear said earlier he thinks there is scum defending me and I disagreed with him.

ah i see -- so your TEAMMATES are paranoid about scum defending you.

if you disagree with midwaybear, then why do you read me as town now?

[Adorable]

midwaybear said 3 days ago he is worried scum are defending me but I disagreed with him. I really liked your post you made on #404 where you were talking about agar's thoughts on the game and this looked like to me your team are helping you solve the game. From what I saw from agar is he said he thinks Hectic's post #256 read like tmi to him which would point to me being town. You said you disagreed with him with the read on me and Hectic. The fact that we have been disagreeing with our team mates is what made me started town reading you.

I'll be heading off to work now.

[xRECKONERx]

Ahhh. Okay. Thank you for responding, Adorable

So, uh, beeboy...any luck yet or...?

[petapan]

i look dumb for this but once again adorable's explanation is okay to me? i felt like she was tripping over herself with regard to how she felt about people defending her but the way she explains it makes sense to me for how she thinks. like it was not her saying it but her teammate, and so that's consistent enough. obviously a little naive but the belief feels real enough. so we are back to

beeboy stop doing this shit in 2021 challenge

VOTE: beeboy

okay here's a couple beeboy scumgames where he pulls this stalling routine where he keeps talking about how he'll contribute later:
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... er_sort=Go
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... er_sort=Go

the only way he's gonna stop pulling this crap is by people getting aware of it and policying it.

additionally this is a team game and even if his team is /effort personified there's no reason in a game of this pace they couldn't assemble some sort of reads, the fact that he has nothing and isn't trying is telling. this is what he does. it's not busyness. it's a manipulation tactic. people want to give the player who hasn't done anything time and he plays off that. (he has said "social manipulation is easier than faking reads". i hard disagree but that's a story for another time)

again if this were a rando it would not be scummy necessarily, just frustrating. like i don't care about xof being less present because i don't know them and them being less active isn't a tell. lack of interest is lack of interest. for beeboy in particular, inactivity is a tell and

the way he is stalling is scummy

. idk how much i have to hammer this point home.

and at this point there is no point waiting for him because if he is in fact scum, and i am pretty confident on that, he knows he's already burnt and he's just not gonna give us anything to work with


anyway i'll probably get my team together to pool reads on the other slots for this game but like. this should be the play today. i would prefer to kill scum today and figure everyone else out tomorrow. we dont need to do this ohh noo we gotta sort in active players todayyyy thing. we've had discussions, there's some stuff on the table, picking it back up won't be a problem.

[xRECKONERx]

meta is trash idgaf
but i refuse to let someone lurk through the entire first day of team fucking mafia

[petapan]

i am literally telling you this is literally his strategy lol

but as long as you're voting there it's cool

[xRECKONERx]

yes it's his strategy based on meta arguments that have been trotted out and im telling you i do not give a single flying shit ab meta

if it's beeboy or mith himself, idgaf, if they're lurking through d1 of a game im going to yeet them into the sun, end of story. had beeboy just been replaced id be patiently waiting but instead he's done just enough to keep doing nothing. which... i suppose there's a conversation that could be had about the tactical nature of replacing out or staying in the game, but let's not do that and instead just yeet the lurker

[xofelf]

Hi sorry, the last few days have been a lot IRL. I know I had a couple of questions and comments directed my way which I'll get to as soon as I can. Got a couple of pages to catch up on too. Crossing my fingers that today is better.

[DeasVail]

I will be v/la for the next approx 18 hours

[Isis]

I need for pronoun usage to improve. At least the following users have used a

specific

pronoun incorrectly between my last warning and this one:

• Summer Nights
  
• petapan

Using "they" can have a comparatively damper effect due to its other grammatical roles, but is still not appropriate for someone who is familiar that does not use they/them pronouns, especially with frequency. That's been a problem from at least these:

• Aristophanes
  
• Creature

Lastly, the following person has correctly pronouned at least one player she previously pronouned incorrectly. This is Good.
[*]Adorable

Try to get on this last list, and stay on it.

(None of these regard references to The Bulge, petapan, or beeboy, who do not list pronouns.)

[Aristophanes]

Noted, Isis.

I will do better.

Thanks!

[Sirius9121]

They'll be doing all the town and scumhunting for me while I spectate from the gallows. I'm not actually sure what the word gallows means but I'm hoping it's some kind of regal throne or some kind of nice spectating platform. Would be kinda embarrassing if it means something completely different LOL.

its literally some thing for the hanging of criminals.

aha ive caught a criminal

[Sirius9121]

This

points

is a gallow.

[Sirius9121]

very simple half read list:

artistic boi: very stressed as scum. more prone to theatre. so far so quiet. +town
pink fluff: giant sheep? 128 was some extent to a read BUT only mentions dats/hect/xof/ari/creature? to some extent is always sheeping hect/summer? +scum
bulge boi: really asking other ppl many questions but no... readlists themselves?
heccticc: uh... assuming they are starrling seems very different from starrling from 2175? many reads which im not like 100% sure is a good thing due to town mafia

[Aristophanes]

Wait am I artistic boi or is that Datisi?

[Aristophanes]

(I am not artistic but I get called "Art" on the forums sometimes and my standard avatar is artistic and part of the reason I am shortened to that)

[Sirius9121]

Wait am I artistic boi or is that Datisi?

thats dats

hes drawn to memory after all :p

[Aristophanes]

XD Well said!

I hate to pry but also I'm going to.

That's a really short half a readslist and I don't get why you didn't respond to like, anything but did respond to the gallows thing.

Have you read the game? Is that really all you have for us?

Summer Nights
petapan

i'm sorry for any slipups, it was not intentional, i try to be respectful about these things but get careless sometimes, will make sure to proofread my posts in the future

why those users in particular, just wondering?

[Summer Nights]

my sincerest apologies for the pronoun slips; it is not intentional at all and i am sorry to have made that warning a necessity.
