MT 2263: Web of Lies - Game Over

[Stephen A Smith]

rather than dispelling why I voted you.

Like if you're expecting me to be a mind reader while you talk in tongues.

Nah.

I don't play that game.

You come up in here and talk the talk, you make it clear what you want to say.

Go

[Stephen A Smith]

I don't know why you voted me.

I don't care why you voted me.

I ain't your mother.

You want something you say it.

[Cupcake Butterfly]

Please do not talk down to me.

Why you are so confident in your Malcolm scumread still confuses me.

You voting Dunnstral because it's popular while detailing that scumread gives me 2 ideas-
1. There's something beyond the PT that could justify your strength, like a TMI.
2. You are keeping your options on who to vote as open as you need.

I fail to see town motivation in both.

I also believe page 13 could've been deleted and very little about this game would've changed. Did you actually gain something from your "mason gambit"?

And to be quite honest, I find your 350 and 351 to be defensive and disparaging off of very little provocation.

Agreed, House was piling pressure on me for remarks much less flippant than that.

I understand the logic in diverting a vote off of me for now onto someone else but it's not as if I'm free of suspicion either. The goal at this stage is surely to push for who you preferably think should be eliminated, not just go with the most popular option. But Stephen may genuinely have a stronger read on Dunnstral than me as well, I just hadn't gotten that sense until now.

[Stephen A Smith]

Please do not talk down to me.

Ok Cuppy, First off I will tell you this.

I respect you. I really do.

I am not talking down to you. I am treating you with respect and not pulling any punches because I respect you and your opinions as a person.

But that doesn't mean I won't bring the heat. You want to say something and treat ME with respect - you just come out and say it instead of dancing around it.

I already stated why I initially questioned the Malcolm Slot.

If you have an issue with my process you can say it.

Furthermore Malcolm's iso is mostly defensive, lacking in any original thought, and makes very little effort to scum hunt or sort. Frankly I don't see anything in it that redeems the slot in my opinion.

I always keep my options open. I'm here for the action, I'm not here to plant my vote somewhere and fall asleep.

If nobody wants to help me kill Malcolm, I'm going to go support my townreads somewhere else because something happening is better to me than nothing happening.

[Stephen A Smith]

I would've gained something if a scumbag had been dumb enough to try to crumb to Morning Tweet.

I'm kind of shitty at reading for crumbs I left that part to her.

I also know Tweet was happy to fake claim mason with me and LLD flipped out as was like HELLL NO YOU AINT DOING THIS SHIT and Dunnstral was like "I didn't believe them for a second but maybe it's better for town for them to do it".

It tells me tweetie/LLD are probably more likely to be town because tweetie is more relaxed/fun and LLD is more cranky/hellllnooooo. Also Dunnstral popping in to make obvious comment about it felt like scum trying to get towncred off stating the obvious.

[Stephen A Smith]

And to be quite honest, I find your 350 and 351 to be defensive and disparaging off of very little provocation.

I have little patience for people who don't say what they mean and try to play shitty word games.

[Flea The Magician]

I don't recall posturing being a part of town Bell's playbook

To be fair, posting isn't in scum bells playbook either....


:3 Love ya bell <3

[Stephen A Smith]

Why you are so confident in your Malcolm scumread still confuses me.

Open up Malcolm's iso and tell me what in it makes you think this cat is town.

[Lukewarm]

Cupcake, I think that some of ESPN man's tone in these posts were attempts to mirror the was real life ESPN people speak on the tv.

Not 100% sure, but that it what I got from 350/351. Like try reading it like it's a sportscaster and not like it's talking down to you

[Flea The Magician]

VOTE: Stephen A Smith

Do I become what I hate and leave it naked.....

... yes. Yes I do.

[Lukewarm]

Takin’ a mafia day off.
Have a good one.

Well, this defeats my purpose for sitting on it.

My "secret read" was that I am not town reading Bell. I am not sure I scum read him either, but I did not walk out of our hood with a town read on him and it made me sad.

I was planning to monitor him in the main thread for a bit before I said anything, but if he is gonna be off for a day, that messes with that anyways.

Carry on.

[Almost50]

Hey guys: I'll be frank (not that I'm changing my name that's not what I mean). I have been skimming and even skipping whole conversations and I suspect that will be the case for at least the remainder of Day One (maybe even beyond that). If you don't like it: Vote me out NOW.

Thank you

[Ircher]

Prodding GrandpaMo (1d 13h). He has (expired on 2022-02-16 19:00:00) to respond in-thread before I seek a replacement.

To be clear, I don't think him being off today is ai.

But I was holding back to watch his activity, and now I know his activity is dropping to 0 regardless of alignment, so no need to wait anymore I guess

[MalcolmTucker]

Was your mafia read based on anything in particular or just not town vibes?

[Flea The Magician]

VOTE: Malcom

Caught scum.

Need to check a thing.

I posted a misdirect while I was in my inventors neighbourhood thread with Flea to see how they'd react while I was under some pressure.

Rather bizarrely they continued posting in here afterwards and have only just seemingly decided to acknowlegde it now, which suggests to me they may have taken some time to talk it over with mafia pals.

Instead of actually questioning me as to the content of the misdirect as well they've directly come in here and decided to just vote for me straight away.

[MalcolmTucker]

Should add, it probably wasn't the wisest decision as it may have confused Flea had they been town and heaped unnecessary pressure onto myself but their response has been extremely odd insofar as how long they ignored the inventory thread is concerned which lends me to suspect they're suspicious.

[Flea The Magician]

Funny that, I don't have an inventory thread.

TLDR of the capture is post clearly aimed at buddies telling them to either counterwagon or jump on and claim cred or just pray for a gobshite like me to pull attention like I usually go

This "bizarre reaction" - as anyone who knows me knows, I dont usually read all the threads at once, I'll read bits at a time based on activity usually.

The reaction post was around 10pm my time last night (~8 hours ago)

Acknowledged an impossible defence from Medaes pre-game post.
Steven is spewed town from the post.

[Dunnstral]

What is the inventors neighborhood thread?

[Flea The Magician]

No idea but I don't have it, I have Dranlon Street and Forever Industries - the latter being the shared thread.

[MalcolmTucker]

Sorry industry/inventor, mixed up, so many.
