and honestly looking at the player list I don't think there's anyone I'd rather gladiate with more than you <3

I figured the bat was a Morning Tweet tribute

I picked my cats Pandora and Loki, and Hectic's pet dragon Miso, so all my picks were an overlord of an ms user that were also in the winning scumteam of Nightmare Mafia

Pooky why didn't you recruit me to be scum with you?

i thought you said I was likely to be recruited?

I really don't see how what I said could be interpreted as being toxic - I apologize if I offended you in any way. I just meant that if I had to 1v1 solo against someone who was scum on D1, I'd want it to be you :) That's with all the implied respect and more.

ok sometimes I am misunderstood and offend people when I don't mean to so I am trying to be more aware of myself - I have a very dry sense of humor

It's good to strategically vote people who would be more likely to be recruited but it doesn't ever reduce the likelihood they randed as the initial scum. It's like gravy kicker extra bonus value you get picking someone with good recruit probability that could also be the starter scum. There's no reason you couldn't be the starter scum.
If you were, why didn't you recruit me!?!?

drusilla,
i thought our interactions about kanna felt like something that would be unlikely to come from mafia. but now i don't know if i was mentally assigning more meaning to your posts than was there.
In post 522, Kanna wrote:btw i chose all my animals based on ms users i liked with animal avatars!

snow leopard was snowblaze, fruit bat was morning tweet, and my third one is going to be DRAGON for iconeum

i hope morning tweet enjoyed those bat gifs!
i chose the firebird from the little humpbacked horse as my first choice but i also rambled about nightingales because almost always nightingales would have been my first choice but i had just watched the animated movie as research for my third choice on the list (and then of course the ballet which i always return to and would highly recommend) so i became 'firebird the nightingale'.

my second choice was behemoth from master and margarita. my third choice was balthazar from au hasard balthazar, who was then assigned to me in the second condemnation phase.

I mean I could ask you the same thing

why didn't you recruit me :( I feel unloved

Pooky you got extra sides on the die but one out of twenty times it's not_mafia every time

I tried to work through the exercise of who I'd pick if I opted not to randomize and it was pretty hard
The harder it is, the more likely I think it is that I would have randomized. My best guess is plusJOYED

If I had it modconfirmed that drusilla wasn't the recruit in addition to knowing I wasn't the recruit, I still wouldn't feel any better about Kanna based on her answer.
If I had it modconfirmed that Pooky wasn't the recruit in addition to knowing I wasn't the recruit, I would feel Ydrasse had a significant decrease in probability of being scum

the more I think about it the more I think I would've definitely picked you

Pooky you are not acting like what I am looking for in a gladiator opponent

Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2020 4:19 pm
by PookyTheMagicalBear
what are you looking for?

Roses? Champagne? Nice dinner under the stars?

That's more my style really. This death business is rough. If you convince me you're town I'd be ok dying here.

how about the game plays out this way...


I pick you up at the airport, your flight is late and they misplace your bags but I manage to get them from some very rude TSA people.

We drive down the highway, ocean breeze in our hair.

We see a nice spot - a cove with crystal blue water that reflects the sky.

I set up the table and you get the champagne out of the cooler in the trunk.

We spend a few hours drinking and reminiscing. Then I get the rest of our dinner from the trunk. The stars come out to watch.

We start on the heavier wine, there's a brief pause because you know the night is about to be over..

We lock eyes across the table and I see into your soul and I know what I have to do.

I apologize and go jump into the ocean. You go on to catch the bad guys who set us up..

I'm usually outspoken, brash and draw tons of attention - in a post restricted game such as this one I would think the ideal partner would be someone who is more of a silent hide in the shadows type player.
for me what would suggest you're a good choice for me would be the drawing of attention, but i'm not sure i could evaluate why other players would make that decision. i disagree with the last sentence entirely but it feels particularly not useful to discuss.
imo in a post restricted game you don't want somebody who has low self control and just spam posts a lot. Which I kind of did.

I was really excited to be a tiger and there were a large number of really cute tiger gifs and apparently thats scummy :(
For me it was some of the combinations you seemed to make which looked like possible contradictions and then your gif with the tiger roaring about scum choosing but more I townread Drusilla and just decided to sheep her. I really didn’t know what I was doing and how to make useful reads in this setup. I actually was thinking of unvoting you but the thread was already locked and I thought I would have more time on D2 but I don’t think I’ll be voting you today and just hope that Isis is actually scum I guess.

it's the best chance to get scum ~in some way~

it crossed my mind earlier so either way i think isis was a very good condemn
This logic makes sense to me. I am town though
I wish no execute or another option was available. I wanted to condemn Tayl0r because I hated those sickly dog gifs. :lol:
