Dear Taly, You don't know who I am but I know who you are and I know what you done.
All votes are reset. Players may only vote for Taly or Cephrir.

NV: Everyone
VOTE: Cephrir

so i just got gladiated, oh well

i feel sick and i got deadlines. :( i was going to say VLA until Sunday but i dont think it matters at this point.

fuck this game

In post 6676, Lukewarm wrote:There is a lot of math and scenarios on why KILLING YOURSELF is better then killing no one.

One example is that It affects how many protective have to land before the town is bought a miselim.

Like, right now a doctor saving one (1) player = an extra town miselim. If we no kill, then a doctor would have to save two (2) players to = an extra town miselim.

But also, info for looking back.
I agree with this and would rather selfvote than allow no lim to happen
i share the same opinion.

Why?
I was already lightly leaning town on Ceph before the gladiate.

I think that a scum!Gladiate from Ceph would be near game throwing levels of bad.

I think that Ceph is good at the game.

i.e. I think that ceph doing the gladiate there was possibly the most town indicative thing that any player has done this game so far lol

VOTE: Taly

I highly doubt Taly flips scum i'm just voting to end the day because this game is disgusting
Are you sure we stil can’t save Taly?
I don't care anymore
Off The Hook wrote:VOTE: taly
im not really confident taly would be scum, i think theyve been trying their hardest. but we need an elim for info and i think it doesnt make sense for cephiriridiidiriri as scum to do this shit cuz if we landed on him instead of taly he basically did it to himself and scum dont want that sort of shit
why isn't this a
ceph!scum
move? im a VERY easy elimination to push through in defense of ANY SCUM within
Frogs/Mala
or even
Johnny
.
In post 6820, Taly wrote:and even when
mala
surpassed my wagon, i didnt jump at the opportunity to vote there or even compromise on
johnny


the entire premise laid out on me being scum so far has been refuted, what little of a premise that is.

the only way i can understand this occurring is that my initial PoE has contained majority of the scumteam.

im thinking this contained 3-4 of the team.

i dont necessarily believe
mala
or
frogs
are scum together, but given how often
frogs
has vote hopped between anyone who could remotely be flashwagoned, i wouldnt discount it as potential bussing.

in retrospect,
mala
is very likely scum independent of alignment's at the moment, they've specifically sat on a read of my predecessor who replaced out for PERSONAL reasons, and even when this was challenged not hold much weight, the pressure on my slot still remained in respect to their wagon.

the fact that im being wrung up because of a lack of pushes or reads compared to multiple slots in this playerlist does not make sense.

the only two people that i would comfortably still remove from this list are
t-bone
and
CSF
because the former has had very stream-of-conscious posting that i havent actually felt pinged by as ive read it (alongside earlier +'s ive mentioned on
t-bone
), and
CSF
who is the ONLY player on my wagon that has actively fleshed out their suspicion of me -
JUST ISO
, I think they've interacted without any form of premediated agenda.

dunn
falls back down into this PoE, but there is bias here, i felt that their handwave dismissal of my defense last night as
"complaining about activity"
was dismissive and potentially aligned with a
Ceph
!scum agenda, partially because feels like asking for permission to even vote me.

paparazzi, its what ive come to expect of people interacting with me this game with a few exceptions.
In post 6843, Taly wrote:with my current scumreads consisting of
frogs/mala/ceph/dunn
is various degrees of confidence and association, im thinking
{BBT/OTH/Toad slot/Best Bird/Malcolm/Enhcant)
, im thinking this group contains 0-1 scum at the very most.

which isnt far off, ive expressed townleans of
enchant/malcolm/OTH
at some point in this thread so far

and i dont even know if
Best Bird
is even in this game anymore, am i just skimming over their posts?
dwlee
is more memorable.

like, everything about this situation is flaming bullshit and i DEMAND someone to VERBATIM address my points!

and
BBT's
dropped off in posting to my knowledge so
:shrug:


i guess me becoming more active as a player is why im getting eliminated?

Cephrir's initial vote was before the vote count was reset, so it didn't count. I let him know.
so what do you think about this gladiate?
In post 6851, Taly wrote:why clear the person who INITIATED the gladiate?

its not about alignment, its about that person's confidence in eliminating their opponent.

i have been a consistently likely mislim the past 48 hrs and
ceph
has maybe received 1 vote from
nancy
out of tilt

I was voting you before the gladiate, so the target appeals to me.

Beyond that, I believe it was a move made by town because the town was not coming to a conclusion.
and where is this necessarily devoid of scum intent? ive seen some wild shit, especially in role madness games kind of like this one/

just look at Anything Upick, mafia won off OP roles or roles people would think are towny.

You got weeded for activity, not cause of your personality. You replaced into this game.
In what world is this an objective assessment of my play?

That's an excuse that serves a scum narrative and it has been repeated the MOMENT I replaced in.

I've gone through whole games without using my gladiate/other vote altering powers as town (Yggdrasil and Tarot come to mind). Frankly speaking, I think that the players who are going off about frogger and mathblade post gladiate are either whining or trying to avoid discussing the current votes for this day phase. Which is you and Cephrir, and yeah, I think you're more likely to be mafia here.
So
Ceph V Taly
is the compromise?

Cool, so the gamestate really said
"this isn't town's decision"
by your logic here.

In what world am I *excusing* Cephrir's behavior. I'm pointing out my perspective and one possible narrative. It fits for cephrir to do this as either alignment. It's not a distinctly scum-motivated move. You're right that it's false that it's risky and that some players have failed on the logic train. But you're arguing with me about their reads. Which is inexplicable. Well it actually makes perfect sense since you're just engaging now and I'm around, but like. It's not something I can answer. Go interrogate them. I don't usually engage with every bad statement a player makes.
What are you trying to accomplish here? All that I am conveying is that I don't think I was a given a chance here whether or not you believed I did.
In post 6873, Taly wrote:it feels moot. :/ ive put more time into this game this morning than i needed to for my productivity.

ive outlined my issues with the gamestate, any case against me, and walked through my entire thought process through the majority of it this game in some form or another.

i dont know what else people are asking for.



im just going to keep the vibes up and share music and reply to people.

Okay.
I'll be around. But I have no further questions.
Whether I gave you a chance or not is irrelevant to anything but my and your ego.
I don't think it's wrong for you to shake people here so I won't complain.

Pedit: just go and do your stuff Taly.

That's losers talk. Saying you didn't have a chance when you've been here for several thousands of posts and several days to make an impression on the game. Several times you chose to post some variant of "I don't understand/am not getting anything from the thread". Your votes and motivations are seen as suspicious. Half a dozen other players are sick/vla/barely doing anything; you weren't singled out here. You had Bell nagging in your ear to share your viewpoint in the thread, and honestly? You didn't share much, or respond to people.

I think every single person, or close to that, that I've voted today has complained about the game length and not being able to get into the game. BBT, Malakittens, even Roden. If everybody is doing it, then it isn't valid for anybody... somebody has to be the elimination, unfortunately.

Think of this as a positive post, even if it sounds mean; shifting blame isn't going to get anywhere. Honestly, your emotional appeal makes me feel uncomfortable but does not change my opinion; I think you can be mafia and upset if you feel you have been wronged. And if you're town, same deal and also relax because it's not actually a huge deal that you are getting eliminated on day 1.

I apologize to
Bell
that my push onto
Bell
is manipulative in that vein, that's not my intention. I'm giving an honest take on my experience. My discussion with
Bell
was not meant to sway or guilt him, I'm giving context to my perspective and it's not my intention or desire to blame him for these circumstances.

And no, I don't agree that just because everybody is doing it, that it's not invalid for anybody.

This is the longest D1 in any game ever. I've had hideously grinding large themes with less pages than this.

It's completely understated that this game is a mess to parse through and I don't think downplaying that is rational. Yes, it's still sound to say that I didn't provide enough info on my thought process enough and that I am scum for doing so, but to say this game isn't exceptional is not true.

Luke, why did you consider Galron?
Among BBT or Dancing Puppets I'm not sure which is more likely to be a scum slot. I think the BBT slot is objectively scummy by looking at the iso, and the Dancing Puppets slot is just pinging me hard based on my own subjective experiences. Unless BBT starts posting more, there's a higher chance I'll turn around on my Dancing Puppets read, as I've done with Malcolm and Galron already. I think there's a slightly lower chance I turn around on the Dancing Puppets slot because my PoE is getting tighter.

Yeah it is fair to say this game is very long. That is why the gladiate is pro-town; you are instead arguing that the game should have gone on even longer

It's cool. Team work makes the dream work. No one is an island etc etc.
Likewise, I could be scum coasting maybe in response o you that would have resulted in me going off track or acting weird if I were scum here.

What are you trying to accomplish here? All that I am conveying is that I don't think I was a given a chance here whether or not you believed I did.
That's losers talk. Saying you didn't have a chance when you've been here for several thousands of posts and several days to make an impression on the game. Several times you chose to post some variant of "I don't understand/am not getting anything from the thread". Your votes and motivations are seen as suspicious. Half a dozen other players are sick/vla/barely doing anything; you weren't singled out here. You had Bell nagging in your ear to share your viewpoint in the thread, and honestly? You didn't share much, or respond to people.

I think every single person, or close to that, that I've voted today has complained about the game length and not being able to get into the game. BBT, Malakittens, even Roden. If everybody is doing it, then it isn't valid for anybody... somebody has to be the elimination, unfortunately.

Think of this as a positive post, even if it sounds mean; shifting blame isn't going to get anywhere. Honestly, your emotional appeal makes me feel uncomfortable but does not change my opinion; I think you can be mafia and upset if you feel you have been wronged. And if you're town, same deal and also relax because it's not actually a huge deal that you are getting eliminated on day 1.
I apologize to
Bell
that my push onto
Bell
is manipulative in that vein, that's not my intention. I'm giving an honest take on my experience. My discussion with
Bell
was not meant to sway or guilt him, I'm giving context to my perspective and it's not my intention or desire to blame him for these circumstances.

And no, I don't agree that just because everybody is doing it, that it's not invalid for anybody.

This is the longest D1 in any game ever. I've had hideously grinding large themes with less pages than this.

It's completely understated that this game is a mess to parse through and I don't think downplaying that is rational. Yes, it's still sound to say that I didn't provide enough info on my thought process enough and that I am scum for doing so, but to say this game isn't exceptional is not true.

I'm going to finalize my position in the thread by saying AtE is
not
a strategy I incorporate.

My feelings are NAI. For people to focus on my argument to sort me would be much healthier.

On that, I'm heading out. I'll come back with a better mood.

Not at all what I'm saying. I think it was easy to gladiate me for scum to solidify a mislim while gaining credit for concluding the day. What looks pro-town is not always from town, and I am a mislim waiting to occur.

taly's besties


gamma:
passive vibes, especially from that
"hello taly"
post. I get the impression their mentality towards mafia has changed from last year where we played several games as opposing alignments. I missed their thought on
Titus
head in the skim and inquire on that.
marcistar:
I don't feel much depth to their questions or the opinions they've given, IE, skimming the hydra I don't know their reads well. I also see a lack of townreads despite the volume of people they're talking to.
OTH, vibe with me bbs<3

-townreads
-energy level/WIM
-memes

galron:
Coming from someone who has hydra'd with
Galron
before, I see nothing in
Galron's
ISO that's atypical. Doesn't like to give info about townreads but I am curious about
Klick
. What townpings is the consistency with
Rad
-town and
Frogs
-scum. I feel good about doubling down on my initial T/T read of
Gal/Rad
but I'd like to hear more from them about other slots. (Does "null" equal no thoughts or net neutral?) But I don't think that's very productive approach in sorting him this early in a large playerlist.
Galron
,
Frogs
PoE was 1000 posts ago, do you think their progression matches that original post?

titus:
TI
TU
S
I
EXI
ST
<3
. i declare myself a
titus
whisperer, my read on her is law.
nancy:
isn't mercilessly beating down players with scrutiny, so +town
ALSO HI NANCY <3


dwlee:
drowned out by the playerlist as expected, me want them around when they feel good :D i feel confident in my ability to sort them with some tea and lemon cakes.

dunn:
Much more active than scumgames I've seen of them and is attentive to how people respond to their roles and mechanics, which was different from how they approached a scumgame like Slaughter Hour. I'm not worried with this slot off their posts thus far. I'll be honest, this isn't an in-depth read specifically because
Dunn
is more active off first glance and so my initial ping is town, me no want to vote, me move on. I think someone voted
Dunn
? If so, I'd like to hear why.

pooky

poopy:
my strategy is to just meme until the vibe is off. me have done ugly TvTs and me have been fence-sitty T/T besties with this one. i dont have a strong first-hand perspective of their scumplay but their push for content is helpful in discerning a motive.
theMAFIAbear
, what do you get out of having the thread spew a readslist?

bell:
My focus is to parse the origin of their caution towards this slot and how that progresses to see if it comes from an informed perspective. So far I got townpings but I'm still thinking.

I just realized
Toog
has only posted twice and now I'm tilting my head at the suspicion there.

I'm failing to see the issue with
Toog's
since it's practically standalone, there was not much time for
Toog
to follow-up with his perspective before an accident (I hope he's okay :( ). And as a first post, the context of claiming role information and conflating it with alignment has a town motive in gauging reactions.

johnnyfarrar:
johnny
you prompted this from me, so thoughts?
rough feels of this group is that I'm still sorting but they're either null or townlean. which is interesting as that implies scum are players i am unfamiliar with.

i also have some familiarity with
ceph/penguin/mala/enchant
but nothing to construct much insight into them as a player.
I wanna say Titus is town but I haven’t really felt much of a vibe from her, more from Nancy, and I’m reverse engineering my Titus opinion from that. After this ISO I will
attempt
to look @ Titus but given that hydra has a
4 page ISO
(!!!) that’ll be a big ask (ftr because of the ISO size I will not be bothering to parse untagged posts and only ones with ~Titus on them will be looked at for the purpose of reading her)
Also: idk if there’s been anything major since our last couple games but I also was scum in our last 2 (Slaughter Hour and uPick) and BOTH demanded I play my fucking head off at the start to not die.

Bro am I gonna have to make a town defence case on Taly and a Wolf aggro case on Cephrir?

This sort of looks like you are claiming mafia. Both because you are wondering why you are not getting pushed this game and because you say you were "also" scum in the other games.

Anyone who says the Gladiate is pro town is a wolf.

Because he NEVER needed to use it, it was a bad move on Cephrir’s behalf.

I said “also” because it was building off of “idk if my playstyle changed notably” as a point for Taly to consider if using meta on us.
