I’m ready to 1v1 someone who was on a Mala wagon.

Been feeling some scum energy getting pushed into that direction.

Where shall i pounce

Why don't you just do it instead of posturing about it? I've been waiting for you to actually do something like this for a bit now.

Another thing up against this, while I've been pushing the appearance of not doing anything/lurky, if you check my ISO, even though the tone is probably there, I feel like you can see multiple posts of vaguely where my head is at.

I tend to find it better for me not to immediately come in the beginning of the game because I'm someone who can essentially take over by talking a lot, so early games I try to stay in the background until it's time for me to pounce.

You can poke at the kitty, but I got hops and claws.

I also dont mind pulling attention onto me if I need to. I like interacting with people directly.

This does interest me a little - Flavor initially says they don't want to take over the game by talking too much, but since then I'd argue they pretty much have taken over the game. That's not a bad thing if they're in the right because they've helped move things forward and put interesting ideas out there, but it does feel like a very deliberate and quick switch-up in approach. Is it town just latching onto ideas they've developed or mafia perhaps sensing a chance to take control?

I'm liking your posts.

Yeah, I definitely did take over after I said that. I got invested, and that's why I was trying to play the lurk troll a bit at first, because I didnt want to overrun the game for a while, but then I did once I got more invested in the game. The Italiano push alongside my first reads list was heavily performative to get people to react towards me.

I'm a performer by personality. the spotlight loves me.

[Flavor Leaf]

Man, this human's obsessed with me.

@Roden - wasn't that serious

So much FL talk when I was away, that's what I like to see. Even when I'm not here, the spotlight loves me

[koopashell]

FL, do you townread my slot?

[Flavor Leaf]

The hyper posters need to chill out with throwing around the “lurker” tag..

It’s the weekend, a couple of you are about to be gravely disappointed.

dont worry, im a hyper poster who protects lurkers.

[Flavor Leaf]

FL, do you townread my slot?

most of the time, i do a lot of the time, but some of the time, i do only a little bit of the time.

I'm going to guess you know why i am asking - as you seem to have avoided interacting with scorpious/italiano on their pushes.

[Flavor Leaf]

RVS where I learned mafia is referred to as “joke phase”..

Most people think RVS is a joke phase and has no actual merit. I believe it's incredibly important because it's when social dynamics begin to form.

I'm at a point where I'll call out them if they're too much, and probably wouldn't vote you, and probably will slight defend, but a push is fine.

I'd rather they be on Monkey, though.

I dont think Scorpious is scum.

Italiano I've been town reading lately, but I definitely can see them being scum. They had the benefit of seeing me scum read them, and were able to change things up if they were scum, + it wasnt too strong.

Human vote temporarily only to move is a bit scummy, but it's fine.

HumanMonkeat could be just a town monkey, but they're tryin' real hard to continue the 1v1.

[Flavor Leaf]

easier than actually playing the game for them

[Flavor Leaf]

I get the chainsaw thing with HEM now..

Early solve attempt is Koopa, HEM, and most likely one of the quiet ones..

Could be as simple Facebones.. but that’s reachy this early.

yeah, you're town, or saying all the right sweet nothings into my ear.

I dont actually hate a Koopa/HEM pairing either, that is one of the possibilities if Koopa is scum. I think I mentioned this pairing earlier.

[Flavor Leaf]

As a matter of fact. I feel way more comfortable here.

VOTE: koopa

Leaf, really look at Joppa again and tell me you don’t see it. I know you are on HEM, but I’m way more set on loops.

Koopa scum requires Human scum for me, tbh

[Flavor Leaf]

I think if FL is found to be intentionally instigating fights and retreating once its started - thats a likely hit by the way - be on the lookout. Although I do feel their pushes have been genuine and not with this intent however.

this implies you think as scum I couldn't handle many fights. Your defense on Human is poor, but like I said before, you're either scum with him, or town who got pocketed by him exactly like I stated human's angle after coming after me was doing.

[Flavor Leaf]

You know what, I think Koopa's just pocketed by ScumHuman.

[koopashell]

VOTE: Flavor Leaf
Speak plainly.

[Malakittens]

Fl is town

[Flavor Leaf]

VOTE: Flavor Leaf
Speak plainly.

Sure will.

I think Koopa's just pocketed by ScumHuman.

Can't make it plainer than that.

[koopashell]

I am very hard to pocket. I do not believe that.

[koopashell]

The only times I have been pocketed were when wolves broke their meta in a big way or when they do a very good bus - neither of those things apply here.

[Flavor Leaf]

I do expect to be put into the position by scum, where one or two will probably push me, then the other(s) town read me, and try to get me to push through a townie to take the heat from it.

If I'm really looking for it, I can see a possible ScumKoopa TMI'ing a TownHuman, but Koopa's vote on to me is just super bad if scum because I definitely feel there's enough momentum to take Koopa out, but that also makes me think KoopaTown if I can see that in the gamestate already.

[Flavor Leaf]

I am very hard to pocket. I do not believe that.

i'll believe it when i see it.

You seem easy to pocket at the moment.

[koopashell]

The issue is I think you are trying to instigate right now rather than solve, and subtly pushing me in a way that can be backpedaled later.

me instigating is me solving.

I don't believe it's been subtle. I've left you open pretty loudly.

[koopashell]

Can you link me to a game where you do something similar as town?

i was April Ludgate, only game in the past year or so. might have had 1 more a while back, but cant remember.

This is for you Roden. Ill choose to give you half since Koopa asked for it. I was gonna just ignore your request.

Eat it up, cuz unless I'm trying to brag about a scum gambit or town epic solve, i probs wont link another due to lazy
