Newbie 1967 | GAME OVER

[bugspray]

Hey who wants to me my romantic partner for this thread? We can do stuff like post *kiss* and other cute stuff in the thread. I'm pan so anyone can qualify

Also VOTE: rc[\v] because he sniped second post

[bugspray]

VOTE: rcI hate phone

[bugspray]

Hey people

You should get an avatar otherwise I wouldn't even think about dating you

[bugspray]

Okay let's at least get to know each other. Your name sounds super anime and so does looks your avatar. What is the significance?

[bugspray]

where did the name bugspray come from

There is absolutely no significance to my username

How did you come up with it, then? Was it on the spur of the moment?

Pretty much. I think some combination of words became something similar to DDT which reminded me of bugspray which also I think is a pretty nice username.

Hi how are you guys

single and ready to mingle

[bugspray]

I promise not to murder you unless I think you're scum

I mean I feel like we are somehow closer than before but I don't really want to date you tbh so I'll keep looking

[bugspray]

I feel like bugspray already decided they want to date me and are just pretending to be open minded to make me jealous.

B-baka hentai!!

[bugspray]

It's not like I voted for you because I like you or anything ... Cowbell-senapi

[bugspray]

Maybe a sensei even

[bugspray]

I dont know im probably just being weird
Ive never played mafia in my life before
I reaserched though

Right now we are in the random voting phrase I'm not sure what it means exactly but I think we are voting randomly with stupid reasons.

[bugspray]

*hands Donald duck a pair of sunglasses* you're pretty cool

[bugspray]

*hands Donald duck a pair of sunglasses* you're pretty cool

*Hands bug spray some free chick-fill-a*
Your pretty cool too

cfa hates queer folx (see my pronouns for why I don't like that)
i'll still eat it but next time invite me over and we can cook a nice dinner together (maybe even call it a date? )

VOTE: arkias the pirate seal has been at least putting in an effort to help town so i'll try to get more people to talk

*brandishes a yaoi paddle* (just found out about those things recently holy CRAP what a terrible mistake)

[bugspray]

that's understandable
yay
cool
you're cool with being friends with someone as evil as me? awwwww

[bugspray]

oh wow
anyway i added the sunglasses to your avatar let me know what you think

[bugspray]

Hell yeah

[bugspray]

Hell yeah

YEAH

YEAH

[bugspray]

Okay first things first: skitter wanna go out?

Second:Ari we have your page of thoughts so either date me or contribute to town

Third: why is your avatar space vaporwave stirner.gif (you know who you are)

[bugspray]

1. What is your experience at Mafia
I've played a little bit on irc and also some in
2. How do you play as town
Only lynch slots that I think are scum with a really high P value while trying to give scum chances to slip
3. How do you play as scum
Not sure how I would but might try to become a leader in investigating and then tunnel on the most scummish towm
4. What do you think giway a player as scum or town
The biggest thing that helped me suspect gardenia correctly in my previous noob game was irregular posting habit. The rest of my reads this game felt nonsubstantial
5. Time zone/standard posting time
If you see me not post for 8 hours it means I'm asleep

[bugspray]

Bfd how do you think i'm reading 24?

oh sorry #24

never mind that did not work

You have to use the

Code: Select all

[p]24[/p]

tag
[p]24[/p]

[bugspray]

Okay nevermind it must be post 114

[bugspray]

Arkias what anime is your picture and name from?

[bugspray]

If you're town and want to win than it's pretty important because scum isn't going to off themselves at night

[bugspray]

Figuring out who is town is just as important, you can use process of elimination and narrow down who you want to kill.

[bugspray]

Don't sweat it friendo, just try to put in some more work to helping us get figure out who to Lynch today

[bugspray]

Donald and Nae who do you think is town?

[bugspray]

i kinda feel like bugspray was fluffing instead of providing content

Bug's Shitposting did go on for a little long, but his recent stuff seems like he's transitioning into scumhunting now. (#133, #125)

My pronoun is they/them. Refer to me accordingly.

My goal with the barely useful shit posting was to see who would play along and seize the opportunity to just generate a lot of content that doesn't seem to directly help town. I don't think it was a very effective way to scumhunt.

[bugspray]

I agree with the shit posting, as I did say earlier.

Can you elaborate a bit? Your last post was about Ducky's and now the topic was (I think?) about mine. We did it in tandem but the difference is I'm trying to find scum and he's saying "lol idk"

Do not worry, Donald. I am clueless too

This post seems funky to me but I'm not sure how. I really don't like it when people restate what others have said without adding anything extra.

[bugspray]

More dead than Naerys's?

Hey, i am not dead

Then let's find some scum. You can at least answer the teacher questions to give us something to think about

[bugspray]

1. What is your experience at
2.Act innocent and try to scumread

The phrasing here (specifically the use of word ACT) arouses my suspicion. Why would a townie need to act innocent?

[bugspray]

Can you rephrase that? my brain is having difficulty parsing it

[bugspray]

Can you rephrase that? my brain is having difficulty parsing it

I basically just dont want anyone to have a false assumption that i am mafia

now THAT is the thesarus posting i desire

[bugspray]

Look, as far as I know, the Lovers aren't in this game.

not yet

[bugspray]

That's the kind of question I'd definitely answer to a romantic partner~
So how bout it Arky?
(I'll still tell you if you say no but you'll make me feel bad)

[bugspray]

wow i wake up to four pages in the morning, nice
initial gut feel is that i want to sit on this vote that I already had
gonna reread it and then dive ark's iso a bit and give more brain use

[bugspray]

i was a bit disappointed that rc's story wasn't really a funny joke but you are still a soft and fluffy boy
nevertheless i'm glad our collective apathy healed
that said you seem to be tripping over your words a lot which sort of makes a lot of your posts seem rushed

rc vs skitter:
tvt: most likely
tvs: maybe the case?? i feel like rc could be the more interesting of the two and needless so say ive got my eye on you
svs: no way, and if it is then we are all DOOMED

ark's apathy is so incredibly loud, i can't believe apathy can be so loud

Well, at this stage i have like zero proof, it´s just that compared to you 2 PvT is invisible (might be his Timezone tho) and his answer how he plays scum was very vague.
Bugspray bcz of the way Bug interacts with Donald, who is clearly very new to this game (and is Town IMHO).

And about Arkias - well, perhaps he was trying to achieve that we will think he´s just being ironic and will not consider him being scum seriously...

im doing my part to help welcome a newbie to the site and he played along with my silly and whimsical discussion gimmick. it's a shame that has ended up biting him and I in the butt :*(
your defense of arkias is telling and might not fare so well if ark flips scum. how does that makes you

feel

?

[bugspray]

oh i misread the entire intent of that sentence
cool to know we are on the same page, but you really shout announce when we are at l-1

[bugspray]

actually now that ive given it a bit more thought...
this really late hop onto the wagon after low activity and not announcing the l-1 really rubs me the wrong way. one player is being prodded and you're already so eager to potentially end the day?
VOTE: naerys

[bugspray]

my only buddy itt is donald

i just don't feel comfy with a wagon at l-1 with a player being prodded. it just seems sort of unfair to that slot and against the spirit of the game a bit

[bugspray]

he is definitely under pressure, dont worry about that
he was under pressure before I voted for him as well

[bugspray]

before *YOU voted on him (not I)
l-2 is a lot of pressure and i still read him as scum so it's more like 3.5~ votes

[bugspray]

Okay, you have a point. But as i said, i voted person i think might be scum and wanted to see him under pressure.

Did you think he wasn't under pressure before at l-2? Your putting him at l-1 and then me hopping of going WOAH THERE caused urist to unvote which basically reset the pressure to basically nothing and we are getting nothing

Your vote accomplished the OPPOSITE of what we wanted

[bugspray]

Maybe I see something in his posts that allows me to excuse it (I do) and it gives me a soft town read for sure.

What joke are you referring to?

[bugspray]

I read a lot of stuff on the wiki before my first game to try and prepare/understand what I was getting myself into and sort if implicitly thought every other newbie did the same thing.

VOTE: ark

[bugspray]

of all people I'd call town you're the least towny "null town" I guess it is called
i'll make a nameslist soon(tm) (probably in about 4-5 hours because something else is taking enough of my focus that I can't sit down and do that kind of in depth thought)

[bugspray]

ordered town to scum
bugspray - what can I say? it's written in my role pm
rc - i feel like his lack of apparent enthusiasm has intentionality and will ultimately benefit town somehow
sera - was driving discussion really effectively before aliens abducted her or something i hope the replacement
urist -hopped off the arkias wagon when i was like YOOO NAERYS and hasn't given a word in a few days. that move seems to have the town at heart
skitter - you have a lot of agreeable reads and overall ive been trying to follow you tracks and insofar they make sense but i get a funny feeling from you that puts you lower on the list.
ducky - came in as strong town but has sort of transitioned to either nooblurkyscum (unlikely imo) or useless town (more likely). also good friendo <3
stirner - last two posts are <QUOTE>"so what do you think?" and really hasn't made any direct claims and only made meta observations like in [p]147[/p]. i'd LOVE to hear more about what he wrote on [p]209[/p]
ark - i suppose the content of your posts might seem at least nullish but the tone seems off and not audibly townish at all
nae - sporadic irregular posting: only really shows up to stir the pot or respond to their own pressure. the answers to the teacher qs also sort of had my brain play the ! sound from MGS

[bugspray]

oh no sorry about the formatting

[bugspray]

anyway im gonna resume the runescape grind making that post was gonna come after

[bugspray]

ugh i'm just gonna end up waking up to another 4 pages of posts aren't i?

[bugspray]

VOTE: nae

I'm glad that I might actually get a chance to lynch my scummiest scum

[bugspray]

i think arkias is really really obviously scum and i'm kinda just sitting here not able to say anything about it.

Big agree but I'm pretty much certain that nae is scummier which is why I'm pushing her atm while trying to also wait long enough for sera's slot to get filled.

[bugspray]

I am not scum, but whatever.

tell us more about how scum you are, scum

[bugspray]

I am not scum, but whatever.

tell us more about how scum you are, scum

In that case i am afraid i have to be silent.

ok then, if you bus your partner I promise not to lynch you until tomorrow (this offer extends to both scum btw not just nae)

[bugspray]

then who is scum?

[bugspray]

rc/duck/stirner what do you think about all this?

[bugspray]

[bugspray]

It's like the ww2 Christmas truce up in here I'm cool with it

[bugspray]

I feel so jinxed rn

[bugspray]

having two of my townreads go at it like this right after a few dead hours is just like

[bugspray]

so weird??

[bugspray]

idk how to read this interaction, i really hope its tvt

[bugspray]

Yoink!

[bugspray]

Hello bird friend :3

[bugspray]

oh wow that's a meat 2nd page

[bugspray]

im willing to lynch ark instead of nae, its possible ive been tunnel visioning and sort of ignoring the stuff others have pointed out
gonna keep my vote on nae for now but come l-1 with the deadline approaching i'll definitely vote for my 2nd scummiest slot

[bugspray]

Wtf after waking up and reading all this new shit rc definitely feels a lot less town and I'm staring to believe the thing I thought made him town that I didn't want to explain was just a false flag thing designed to trick newbs who try to overthink the shit

[bugspray]

in 242 and 244 nae throws shade at me in a small lowkey way. then after i call out a weirdly worded sentence about ark she just instantly just votes ark to l-1 which easily falls under the category of situations where noob!scum thinks "oh SHIT i just got called out by a townie, gotta do something quick or else everyone will know that i'm scum!" and does a reflex vote on ark instead of be because i triggered the paranoid panic vote
the unvote into self vote feels almost like there's some extra intentionality to it for EMPHASIS. a frustrated noob!town (what is exclamation point between two words actually supposed to mean?) would just selfvote instantly and not care what others think
unvoting into self voting says hey look at me I'm just a really frustrated townie! but I can almost pick out the whispers of naerys being coached in the scum PT
between posts 268 and 301 is the gap where i think some pt coaching could have taken place


the unvote into self vote feels almost like there's some extra intentionality to it for EMPHASIS. a frustrated noob!town (what is exclamation point between two words actually supposed to mean?) would just selfvote instantly and not care what others think
unvoting into self voting shouts from rooftops hey look at me I'm just a really frustrated townie!

i won´t be able to reply whole weekend. I´ll be back around Sunday evening/Monday

isn't this long enough to receive a prod and replace? seems like an easy way for noob!scum who had a close call with death's door (aka being properly read) to just hide in a bunker hoping everyone else will burn down the city, not to mention our deadline will be running this entire time[/quote]

[bugspray]

actuallly, maybe the turkey would expand on all his reads?

i'd appreciate if you do this for yours as well, i get dizzy trying to read your chaotic iso

[bugspray]

This is not fair from you at all.
I guess i have to apologize for having a real life.

i have one too, and i know that shit happens
peace-ing out on us like that is unfair to town

[bugspray]

they/them pronouns != man
please use another word
i'm partial to captain, comrade, friend, darling, honey, etc.

pedit: idiot

[bugspray]

i hope you only meant the pedit part becase i defo did regret including that after the fact n,.n

[bugspray]

it's one of those tinfoil hat things where i'm not even sure i'm right but i think i really should err on the side of caution and i think the best way to show my respect for the whole thing is to stop bringing more attention to it

pedit: birds are cool yeah but that feels like scum trying to develop rapport with town followed up by trying to develop more rc vs skitter paranoia

double pedit OH. MY. GOD.

[bugspray]

what is vla

[bugspray]

that readlist gives me so many questions im gonna ask them all when i can sit down and really think about it and im not just grinding runescape (which will be soon, i schedule breaks )

[bugspray]

yoink

[bugspray]

my main qualm with the readlist #494 is that it has a bunch of nullreads inside the spoiler and then just puts rc and skitter together outside as nulls as if it's an attempt to intensify the paranoia between them "sewing the seeds of chaos and destruction" pls noo most of my others concerns about the readlist seem to have been asked (should have written them down ugh i think i forgot a few during my accidental daynap)

anywho happy friday ill have pizza in my stomach for my next post

[bugspray]

Wtf after waking up and reading all this new shit rc definitely feels a lot less town and I'm staring to believe the thing I thought made him town that I didn't want to explain was just a false flag thing designed to trick newbs who try to overthink the shit

Why doid u lose the townread?

tbh i thought he was trying to soft a pr but i ultimately decided that i was reading into it too much

[bugspray]

it was mostly that weird out of place clown story. i sort of tried to respond by calling you "soft" a bunch of times to signal that i saw you softing but after applying some critical thinking i realize hey wait a minute what the fuck

tl;dr this tinfoil hat is amplifying ONly my stupidity brain waves

[bugspray]

dude i cant even read your iso without getting dizzy can you put in a human readable way? ugh maybe these tinfoil glasses make it hard to read

[bugspray]

can you talk more about your ark slot reads? (@you the reader of this messagE)

[bugspray]

Why is the most negative read you are giving out a null? It makes the readlist real sketchy. Too many null reads is a tell according to the wiki and it feels like you have even more than that much
More questions to come after I have answers

[bugspray]

And by that I mean satisfying answers

[bugspray]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Stirner
this motherfucker

[bugspray]

non imh you forgot to vote for me, or was that on purpose to test the waters for wagon potential?

[bugspray]

Bug spray, could you update your reads list for me please

i dont dance for scum
