I know I'm notorious for not voting and I know I should be voting right now but there isn't a clear option so I am waiting. If I went with "ignore the wagons and vote who I most want to kill" it would be someone random like Wallflower and I think that would do more harm than good.

[Tracer Bullet]

what r u waiting for

[Something_Smart]

The rest of the day to play out? We still have almost 24 hours

[Tracer Bullet]

what do you think is going to happen in the last 20 or so hours that hasn't happened in the first 6 days.

[Tracer Bullet]

we going to chinese fire drill ourselves onto a baddie cuz everyone will feel bad about not playing the game and show up magically 3 hours before deadline?

[Something_Smart]

SS hasn't voted or said anything about where he is leaning towards voting/eliminating for the entire fucking week. It's like he doesn't exist. He's done nothing except express townreads which is really easy for him to do as either alignment and basically useless for sorting him.

I'm sorry, but if I invented scumreads and tried to justify them I think that would be

worse

than useless for reading me.

Competing wagons that aren't on a conftown?

[Something_Smart]

And ideally, aren't two people I townread.

we already have competing wagons that are on people who are not conftown

[Something_Smart]

I know, that why I added the qualifier. I don't want to make that choice, so I'd rather wait and see if the choice changes.

[Tracer Bullet]

like seriously just pick one:

(a) between Tracer/Tooge, I would rather vote out ____ because _____

or

(b) I don't like either Tracer/Tooge for elimination, I'd rather eliminate ______ because ______

[Something_Smart]

The other reason it's difficult is that my two favorite methods "sheep the people I trust" and "do what's mechanically optimal" are

also

at odds.

[Something_Smart]

(b) I don't like either Tracer/Tooge for elimination, I'd rather eliminate Meg or Wallflower because Tracer seems to be genuinely invested in affecting the day's outcome which I don't think he would always feel the need to do as scum, and Toog's slot has taken a lot of shit and they don't seem to be playing like a bus target or panicking scum, and both Meg and Wallflower were very talkative early but now they've been more just throwing down votes. Meg promised a big post though, and I do want to see that.

[Something_Smart]

both Meg and Wallflower were very talkative early but now they've been more just throwing down votes.

To be clear: I know that Wallflower has still been posting and interacting and that Meg's been irl busy. I don't think either of their patterns is scummy per se but it's a very easy pattern for scum to have whereas Tracer's and Toog's are harder.

[Ircher]

is ircher even playing? lol
duckie is tunneled
meg hasn't posted in forever
SS has never voted or done anything cuz he's SS and he's taken a vow of never doing anything
Tooge popped in and said oh ill vote this cuz its not me - said nothing about SS.
I dont even remember who the 6th person on this list is

This doesn't make me want to change votes here.

[Ircher]

tbh I'm not really even buddying you

I'm just a fellow bored person who is wondering why people aren't bothering to play

You keep saying this, but it is objectively false.

[Toogeloo]

Don't people want to make their MARK on the game?

Have we ever played together? I am always low effort unless I'm like really invested in a game, which isn't often.

Skating through Day 1 without doing much is my MO. And I always roll town.

Some of us just don't play Mafia that seriously. I make the commitment to log on at least once a day, read the thread, make a few replies that stuck out to me (bonus points for snark and/or humor), and then check out. I don't refresh the game to wait for replies. I just move on.

I have played this way for years. I don't need to make a mark on the game, and have never felt the need to do so.

Tracer, you still owe me an opening scene.

In regards to your comments, I get the impression I would have been damned if I did, damned if I didn't in regards to you. If I voted anyone other than you, I'm sure'd say I was bussing. But I vote for you, so it's a scum claim.

I voted for you because what amounts to two likely confirmed townies are also voting for you. Voting for SS is something I stated I would do as well, if necessary, but by your own comments, SS hasn't done anything, ergo they give the least information if flipped. So that is even more reason to vote you over them.

This doesn't feel like you from that monochromatic game where I knew you were scum, but that's also why I asked if you play differently as Tracer and Pooky.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Great, i love it when it feels like all my reads suck.

I'm not trying to make you change your vote

I'm complaining that you're not even playing

I know complaining about someone's lack of effort doesn't make them change their mind because people tend to not take criticism well

have you read your own iso ?

do you even think I'm mafia

[Ircher]

Let's just speed lim Tracer here if all they are going to do is misrepresent and complain about the game state.

[RCEnigma]

VOTE: SS

Sorry I don't have the mental energy to meaningfully engage. I was typing up a post to explain a vote on tracer but honestly I can't justify it to myself over SS.

[Tracer Bullet]

Do you want to lim me because you think I'm mafia or do you want to lim me because you don't like me telling you that you're a slacker and literally useless?

[RH]

Don't mind me pagetop sniping for one last time.
