Not Quite Normal Multiball (Game Over)

Also no pooky you can't have it.

This is what people are referring to as the slip, Titus

That post makes no sense as a slip because T3 could never get away with that as a serious claim because I would out it as a meme almost immediately. :/

~Titus

I feel like that makes sense as to why you immediately dismissed his informed miller claim,

But you were also completely unfazed by the "mafia PT" post, by the self vote, and by the Loyal Babysitter claim?

And with this post Luke joins Peta. <3

Manatee feels chill. Luke is (?) from first post.

Already explained the "mafia PT" post to Dannflor. The Loyal Babysitter is likely just T3 still memeing. Like I never trust a D1 claim from T3 and the less he memes, the scummier he is.

I don't really have a read on morph the cat despite their volume of posts which is a little worrying

like there's an aggressive charisma there but a lot of the posts feel performative in a NAI way. I don't think the case on T3 is super indicative either way. at that point it is assumed T3 will be dead either way - which ever way T3 flips, piling on more actually makes morph look good because multiball

I like Echo's recent posts

Celestial Powerhouse seems fiiine

My thoughts are a mirror opposite of these.

[Dannflor]

for what absolutely little it's worth I also read the loyal babysitter as a joke right before I replaced in

[Echolocation]

I'm gonna go ahead and call that bluff...

VOTE: T3

It is indeed an inside joke. Why T3 makes a joke to me is anybody's guess. See Deco (mini normal). He claimed the same thing, never retracted and got eliminated as town. It was a gambit to get scum to claim the role.

~Titus

I think my issue knowing that it's an inside joke is that it's... hm. It feels like something to pull to fit in a bit much, to be SO at ease/casual as town that you throw out a joke to try and get the people who know it to nudge their elbows at you and go "I got you buddy, don't worry." It's like, once is a gambit twice is ""performative.""

[Dannflor]

Echo, elaborate on manatee?

But, I like this, and I'm a little squinty-eyed at titus for not having that thought, herself.

RQS answers:

1) No, 2) Several, but I won't elaborate, 3) Bacon and jalapenos.

Why are you answering an RQS when one hasn't even been posted?

I was doing the "weird answers make you wonder what the weird questions were" joke; I probably should have made them weirder.

So, like, at least in the Newbie queue, it's harder to slip because the scum PT is in an obvious soft purple color instead of the main thread's black background. Is it the same for grown-up Mafia, or is that just how PTs work?

That's how PTs work... You've never played a non-newbie game?

I've played in two non-newbie games before this one, but I have only been scum once, which was in that Newbie game.

Really?

I've not played with Manatee but I got the "pure" vibe from them which like, yeah I know, but it works.

And Luke felt a little stilted on entrance as if he was like "hi I don't know what to say oh wow haha eight pages!" Which like, I expected more panic maybe or frustration given how Tarot went for him as in "oh god stuff is happening what did I miss this time do I get to even have a role." His posting after is better, though.

[Dannflor]

Kazyan, did you really write #120 without thinking once "people will pick up on the fact that I'm implying I don't have a PT this game"

or are ya being a little performative here

you can be honest with me

[Echolocation]

Let Kaz wear their silly little performer's outfit if they want.

Spoiler:

I think they're being genuine if that is their experience with PTs so far.

[Lukewarm]

for what absolutely little it's worth I also read the loyal babysitter as a joke right before I replaced in

idk, I think I would immediately read each individual one as a joke coming from T3, but seeing so many different ones coming all back to back seemed... different then the joking I expect from T3.

I think I am back to null on the slot with the Dann rep in, I am a bit surprised that Titus was so sure he was town the whole time.

mostly reading them by how they reacted to T3 / my wagon, but I'd Manatee's "pure" vibe actually feels to me more like staying out of the way and keeping with the as-lukewarm-takes-as-possible (hehe) - Lukewarm feels like he's trying to get into the game more aggressively, given his vote on me and subsequent immediate unvote, it's just surface level more awkward than manatee who feels like she's hanging back

You think I would panic this game because I was in 1 game that ended after 3 hours?

I have played enough games, to know that that game was the anomoly, not the norm

oh my lord T3 what on earth

This kinda reads like someone who didn't know what they were walking into, which is hard to believe if the game waa reas before rapping in

my hypothesis is that it was the classic tale of realizing something didn't land quite the way you wanted it to, and then digging a deeper and deeper hole for yourself not by admitting you were wrong, but by trying to lay on the joke thicker

it's an awkward way to deal with it as either alignment - but I think if you do actually read everything T3 posted as a joke it comes out as net NAI and more indicative of not handling a social situation well

[Kazyan]

You're not being honest with me, so idk why I should

I knew people would get the implication, though. I was indeed confused about how your predecessor scum-slipped, as well.

this was specifically my response to reading the "townie" role pm if that helps

which was about the last thing I expected to read

[ManateeDude]

like manatee, I haven't seen someone hedge so much on an apparent scum slip before now

it reads like you're trying to give T3 an out, he takes the out, and then you're just like ah well I can't be blamed for this if it flips town

I don't quite get where you derived the last bit from?? Idk I just approached the T3 situation giving a line of questioning that I thought was reasonable given the situation. asking him a question shouldn't mean I'm trying to give him an out?

well what exactly did you derive from that line of questioning?

[ManateeDude]

I'm not quite sure how I should've engaged to be more definite in my standing on T3

Is that discrepancy dependent on the assumption that Dann read the game before repping in? What makes you sure he did that?

He repped in only like ~30 mins after T3 requested replacement.
