I’m posting.

The fact that Lady Tammy even deigns this game worthy enough of her time that she talk to us lowly plebes indicates the purity of her heartsong.

Were she evil, she would not even give us the time of day.

imo you're being too paranoid. just because you've falsely cleared people for similar reasons in the past doesn't make them invalid.

Infy if you're going to post irrelevant gibberish you must do so with sufficient quantity and humor such that people don't notice you are mostly posting irrelevant gibberish.

i don't have too many thoughts yet. prism feels somewhat towny, the early townread on pooky was kinda serious, mafman pings me a little but i don't have anything concrete.

oops i forgot, wisdom's alignment doesn't matter

that's like the fastest you've ever townread me which gives me paranoid vibes unfortunately lol

The difference between this game and every other one you have played with me is vast, Infinity. Does this sound no alarm bells?

just pings? or do we have something to go back and forth on

There's no weaponization of the expectations you have for me, and that throws me. I was surprised to see you drop the explanation about my preference so quickly. It is a perceptive and clear divergence.

In post 291, Prism wrote:Like I'm astounded that you took the preference seriously enough to remember it and you make the connection. No one else onsite even

remembers

the preference let alone uses it.

I'm not ameliorating you; I'm just existing. I mean maybe I am? But it's not purposeful. I expect you to question me and you are. I'm sorry if I'm being weird; I'm tired, don't feel all that great, and am in a bit of a weird headspace being here today. I don't know that without that if I'd be much different, maybe I'd have more energy I don't know. I don't think I'm being very off but maybe I am.

I'm not sure why you think I would weaponize any expectations I have of you right when the game begins considering I have a tendency to observe these things for a bit anyway. The preference that you're talking about might be a bigger thing to me if we were in a normal game. The game mechanic alone goes a long way in negating that very preference. In fact, even in asking it I didn't think it really mattered much because my two pieces were is prism doing the puffery thing or does the game mechanic negate it. As far as I'm concerned, that's something I can't differentiate as it stands right now because the game mechanic exists and your approach could be very different. I'm sure if I wanted to look solvey I could make a bigger deal out of it than it was, but I'm not scum and for me it was a passing thought that stuck out enough for me to ask but not make much of.

it doesn't seem that different to me tbh? it looks like you're trying to sort tammy, and not trying to take control of the gamestate, which is pretty towny

i would, in all honesty, trust the first person who trusts me

Lady Tammy could you explain the feelings/headspace you were in when you made this following post?

I'm not paranoid at all. Not yet. We're under 20 pages in the first 24 hours of the game, and nobody has done anything that to me reads very town for any decent reason. That's just how it goes sometimes.

I was flattered that y'all were talking about me and whether or not I could be trusted such that you wanted to test it.

Can you be more specific what "take control of the gamestate" means? I ask because I have never seen this phrase used in a way that convinces me it is more than snake oil.

I sort players every game. I use it as pretense to manipulate them every game. Where is the difference? I had "control" over most of the "gamestate" our first run of this and used it to shut out catboi and amplify HEM. I was town. While it took me awhile to get it in grasp, I was firm and a dominant voice all of Forest Fire, and leveraged it into an unpopular scumflip and a controversial second.

did you think I would trust you just because you asked?

I'm pockited but i'm not like pockited

besides leaving with you now would mean I can't like flirt with you anymore :<

No I didn't think anyone would actually do it. It just amused me to kind of taunt you guys about it.

oh how you play my heartstrings like a virtuoso

normally i'd expect town to care about what they care about and good scum players to take a broader view of the game, interact with a lot of players, since that's how players tend to get influence in mafia games ime

there's a difference between getting influence and trying to get influence.

i'm not confident that this is correct so the read is weak.
