We've had a pretty good conversation. It's mostly been Math and Guanine doing the talking, but I'm townreading Math based off the neighborhood.

Spoiler:
Pedit: Fwiw, I counted twice just now and got 102 both times, so I guess we miscounted.

363 counts as 5; the implication symbol still counts as a word.
2129 is a naked quote. It counts as 0.

With those corrections, your count matches mine.

MathBlade has marginally more posts than Guanine. Both have way more (like by a factor of 7 or 8) than Cytosine.

2129 is a naked quote... of your own post where you main slipped.

That 1,000% would have to count, or else the two of you could have just made a massive post some where to work around the restriction...

Sorry, but I don't think either of you can read the other and based on what I'm hearing. neither of you had especially high standards or interest in sorting the other preferring to sort outside of it.
You not only sorted each other, but took steps to helping one another that's a level of confidence day 1 that I would never have without an outright role claim that supports them significantly or a very productive chat.

im curious as to why this is important to you, i can't see how it matters but perhaps you have a reason
mathblade is hard at work "sorting" the claimed mason pair because he has to pretend he's doing something
right that is why i asked

I kinda agree - Corwin didn't give that many reads, definitely not enough for two slots.

I get that you were also busy IRL last game day, but I didn't get the impression that you had that many reads when you were in the game either.

Also how caught up are you

Is Klick still town? What's the VC? I don't know anything anymore
I already established that I only share reads with consent.

I don’t just announce things without permission especially while one head is catching up.

G head thinks that Bell is back null because their acting better but votes are weird.

Frog is erratic (their word)

Klick is null

I don’t know which reads I can and can’t share because they didn’t want certain reads shared
why did you expect the masons to share their reads & summarize their discussion if you don't agree that doing so is good play?

& P.S. did you ever try to secure their permission to summarize your discussion?
Idk but I distinctly remembered reading Ceph's ISO day 1, and thinking these were some decent posts for a slot I was otherwise scumreading (up until the gladiate)

To be fair Bell, I made a similar choice with Johnny. I just said he was town so that our topic would not be uncomfortable and never reexamined it on Day 1.

Mod makes up post limitation as a game design element and ignores it? I don't buy it.

Player gets limitation and doesn't care what happens if they go over? I don't buy it.

isn't a naked quote, it's a quote from one of the hydra's players who accidentally posted under the wrong account. If the player didn't accidentally post it under the wrong account, it would have been a 2 word post under the C&G account.

Fake post restriction.

VOTE: Cytosine and Guanine

Also Corwin must not have asked C&G about the penalty either. Seems like a pretty reasonable thing to ask if you're town and want to know what happens if they go over it. I mean why not? That's not something we want them explaining when they're restricted to 100 words. But Corwin/Math could have easily found out if they cared and let us all know.

@CSF will respond to that tomorrow

But it’s more Corwin wasn’t active which was already established.

So ?

I guess the main difference is that I made an explicit choice and both told Johnny from the getgo and told y'all when I revealed it. I see what you're saying.

@Rad So you think our hood is SvS? Okay, it's not impossible, but it's like very taboo. I should know having subverted that expectation in the past.

Yeah I would read this scenario as a SvS neighborhood. I have no clue if that's likely or not but the general consensus seems to be that neighborhoods were random in this game, so all combinations are possible.

Does anyone think that there is still a benefit for me to keep my neighbor unmentioned?


Pedit: I think that C+G should reach out to the mod, see what the effect of breaking the limit is/was, and see if it is gonna happen now that it has been revealed, and report back.

STD literally got married over the night phase, so I could see him missing it.

The simpler explanation would be no hood if that's your theory Rad. Which I don't think is unreasonable.

Yeah I mean, sure, he could have missed it. As a wannabe game designer myself, if I made that up I'd be all over counting those words and punishing. Do I do that when it overlaps with my WEDDING? Maybe not lol.

That's only 1 point in the suspicion here though.

Was the posting any better in the hood or was it all just...whatever their posts are this game in main thread?
I may never get over some of their posts this game. They seem potentially informed/sarcastic.
