I'll try to adapt it to lilo for this game if it bothers you but I broadly think the term stands on it's own due to the phonetics lining up fine with the "lim" switch

What I'm hearing is this game needs to turn out more like mini normal 2191/2181 or large normal 232 where I continue to shit the bed and be an apathetic fuck to reset my paranoia stars.

Sadly, I like you all and am not currently in enough of a slump to do that to myself.

that's been you all game.

after multiple pressure from me including, you have seen to be correcting yourself.

after all these townreads on you, you just might be scum that has incredibly increased your scum equity.

but you literally have been getting stuff very much wrong since the beginning, and placing purposeful stuff out of context and no one has been noticing but me i suppose.

dw, im watching you strangematter. while everyone is townreading you, you may or may not be scum afterall...

Okay so it's like 10PM, where the hell did today go.

Ilway was pinging the part of our tell that is about seeking validation while also rolling over to die instead of fighting and standing up for themselves. I'm sorry I don't have time before bed to actually unpack this, I will try my best to do so in the morning but it's bedtime for the family. Tomorrow looms dangerously, including a damn data center ticket.

It's not enough at this point, given enw data, to stand in the way of anyone else's stronger convictions. Just don't forget about it entirely.

And just in general -- the term newbie shows up in his iso 31 times. He was very aware that he was in the newbie queue playing with newbie players

I am just finding it hilarious that this game is basically no longer the same game that started, unless you think it is. that whole boat story or whatnot, you know.

I want to talk but I dread posting because I'm going to be expected to solve and I am too lost to solve right now if that even makes any sense

In post 676, sang froid wrote:(1) the idea of "deciding" how to read someone is uh, odd to me

and (2) a read in terms of town/scum being based on reasonableness also seems strange. town are often unreasonable, scum very often try hard to be reasonable. why does the read depend on this?
Personally it makes sense to me in a way- just in the fact that you can read people differently for different reasons, unless I'm misinterpreting him.
I didn't take it as reading people who are unreasonable as scum and reasonable as town, but as players that don't make sense generally or are loud and flailing are sometimes easier/different to read than people who are more controlled or whatnot

I don't understand the reaction of the OMGUS vote on me from bimble I am too tired to understand it.

It implies to me that he did feel the pressure of my vote which is ?? in itself

I am too tired to go back through his iso, I tried and the format ofhis posts, specifically the response to quotes istoo hard to read fro me

[quote="In post 762, Lukewarm"][/quote]

no no i know this setup was a newbie setup but at that moment i had forgot and this is because i had played the day prior an all stars setup wit the roles i mentioned. (thru video mafia -- it was fun)

dont take this as a dumbtell or slip -- but more of just me forgetting which can be either scum or town, i dont really would think its AI if u were to do something like that luke.

if i had a towncase on you and you did something like that -- that is something i would ignore to put in.

you should look at it from the general prospective and not this specific interaction on why you think im town, because u had me right!

I've left sang froid out because part of me wants to believe he's lying about his claim. Being a genuine role cop and claiming it D1 in a game with this set-up feels like such an unbelievably stupid move that I'm leaning towards him being VT trying to cover for PTs or scum trying to pretend to cover for PTs. Where I sort him depends a lot on whether or not he survives with results tomorrow.

In response to those arguing I'm scum, I haven't been involved in too many conversations this game so I can't really make an argument in defense of myself, other than to say that I think Illwei is more suspicious. They've generally avoided giving strong answers to questions or giving their own opinions on people, using excuses about how they don't know or don't care. Here are a few examples:

In post 93, Illwei wrote:
In post 87, StrangeMatter wrote:Leaving out your thoughts is kind of like pushing someone scummy, but not really explaining why they are pushing that person.

In post 142, StrangeMatter wrote:Where is everyone right now, I get that discussion is a bit harder with a person VLA, and one has to be replaced, but 6 other people aren't even talking at all. That kind of seems like a waste of a day to have no discussion whatsoever. So can those 6 people explain why they're not talking right now?
Don't expect me to be so active, I joined this game because I don't have so much time during the days anymore but still wanted to play a game, so I figured one that wasn't 48/24 would be easier for my schedule.
This one in particular is weird to me, only a little bit into the game he's already setting a low standard for himself, saying we shouldn't expect him to engage much.

3. Do you genuinely belive cabd/mo are the scumteam? Can you not understand why people are suspicious of you?

Also, I disagree with Ydresse that is a town post. The argument made here doesn't make sense, townies should obviously want as much information as possible and to pressure people that vote for them.
1. because whatshisface didn't. their post read like something they wanted to pressure, and then they didn't add pressure, and I was like ???? but brain doesn't work so that was my way of expressing that.

2. my dude I don't care about life right now, but there have been so many sub outs already and I subbed out of my last MS game so I am here out of sheer stubbornness

3. No. That was a joke. because they are both repeatedly spelling my name how it sounds and not how it is spelled, but they both seem to hear it differently. I found it funny lol.
Number 2 here just feels like a really easy way to avoid having to explain yourself.

This is a game of mafia, and there are people scumreading you. You don't have to solve everything but some pushes or opinions on recent events would be nice.


I totally understand and emphasise with the argument that scum would want to appear engaged, but, to dabble in WIFOM, Illwei's apathy feels like a really easy way to avoid having to engage and talk (as the more you talk, the more likely people are to scumread what you say), while still keeping this aura of town (after all, why would a townie act this apathetic?).
