that was interesting.

i *think* i understood some of drusilla's posts but i found them quite scummy

@drusilla; if you understood me, then did you agree with me?

what

[PlusJOYED]

pookythemagicalbear made a bunch of like buddying posts with no content and didn't try to communicate about the game despite my efforts and the efforts of others, and then quoted hectic about who wasn't voting and that the mafia would get to choose if we didn't. and it felt super mafia indicative. like extremely so.

the code for the nightingale posts was:

chirp - yes
tweet - no
pipe - town
sing - mafia
warble - universal question word

wow i didnt think to do that at all i was just reacting how my animal would i think by going after the cats as a rat lmaooooo

[PlusJOYED]

that and trying to wagon

[PlusJOYED]

so mechanically, it would make no sense to play this out if one of those 2 wasn't scum, so one of them is probably scum and the other town.

[PlusJOYED]

my gut says isis since he's seemed more reactionary? idk what does rest of town think?

[PlusJOYED]

so mechanically, it would make no sense to play this out if one of those 2 wasn't scum, so one of them is probably scum and the other town.

can you explain how you came to this conclusion for me? :>

i don't see a reason to play it out; we can speak and this has every indication of being the climax. if we vote a town here I think we lose. uf we vote a scum here I think we win

[PlusJOYED]

so mechanically, it would make no sense to play this out if one of those 2 wasn't scum, so one of them is probably scum and the other town.

if they're both mafia but the game is set up where we condemn two but only eliminate one they could both be mafia and the game would continue, i believe.

that was too dramatic to be an opener i think. this is likely the climax

[PlusJOYED]

i see what you mean about this not being the climax...
I have an idea actually

[PlusJOYED]

We all have 3 animals submitted correct? If we get another restricted day it'll probably be with that third animal. It would be best to setup animal codewords with that animal noise ahead of time while we can speak.

I'll start, my third animal was fox

[PlusJOYED]

and if mod does a switcharoo and we get a different persons animal we can follow those code words that they set

[PlusJOYED]

i'll always reference the first post i had in here as my way to communicate. its my baby

you'll probably get your third animal, not a repeat though

[PlusJOYED]

i honestly thought everyone was just making random noise and had no idea people were making code words

[PlusJOYED]

i honestly thought making code words was against the rules, like that it'd fall under Morse code clause. But I guess I wasn't being creative enough

[PlusJOYED]

If i was the scum here I would have recruited ydrasse and pushed a taylor elim I think

[PlusJOYED]

wait, don't maf recruit only after the first condemnation?

[PlusJOYED]

i think the recruit would vote with scum r2 but probs not day 1.

[PlusJOYED]

i think pooky is town and isis is scum actually
VOTE: isis

[PlusJOYED]

If i was the scum here I would have recruited ydrasse and pushed a taylor elim I think

why taylor, specifically?

they seem to have a weaker town game no offense
this is coming from a guy who plays town like a crackhead

[PlusJOYED]

oh wow way to make us look super shady dude sigh -.-

im not getting voted and im saying you shouldn't be voted

[PlusJOYED]

sad people ignored my idea for making codewords now

[PlusJOYED]

I liked it!
I've been distracted!
So much is going on!
My third animal is supposed to be a cat again so I'll do purr=townread and hiss=scumread again

good deal

[PlusJOYED]

regardless of nomination/flip, i think it's still right to consider pooky town for the second condemn phase because if he was, we would have a better chance pulling down scum if we went with what he wanted
yet if he was scum, he would pull us town but we would already have one scum caught

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.

same lol

[PlusJOYED]

oh, wow, did plusJoyed make the same interpretive mistake?

which mistake? I had no idea what I was doing but was wanted to wagon so scum couldn't pick

[PlusJOYED]

idk how I messed up the timelines and poster identity but on review plusJOYED's "townslip" doesn't look as sturdy as Loki's (although since it doesn't look clearly and obviously fake and posts from a frame of reference that's missing knowledge scum would have, it is therefore still +town)
Loki more descriptively described an entire day 1 thought process

Also plusJOYED seems like an alt that might be considerably experienced, Loki Dokie is a player with extremely sporadic activity since joining last year, and the former is more likely to be aware of the science of manufacturing townslips

not an alt but I take that as a compliment. And sorry that I think you're the scum here

[PlusJOYED]

When I voted you first, your excessive attempts to befriend me in response feels like pocketing more than anything else Isis, sorry.

[PlusJOYED]

can you explain why?

PoE
Loki: townslip
drusilla: assumed in the question as stated
Pooky: assumed in the question as stated
Ydrasse: would've recruited me or you as scum, could still be a recruit but that's -50%
Isis: that's me
plus: townslipz
Tayl0r: I still think being annoying during post restriction and her flippant attitude now is townish
Kanna: PoE'd

didn't you say your TR'd taylor more than me regarding anime avatar and SR'd me? It looks a lot like you're just scum trying to AtE from my pov

[PlusJOYED]

foxes have a lot of noises actually since they have cat stuff and dog stuff, so here is my code for me if I get fox or if anyone else gets fox during a restricted period:

fox noise

bark - yes/agree
woof - no/disagree
scritch scritch?? - explain more i don't understand
shlick - lick,  i lke this person/post
achoo - this person scumslipped
haaaaa haaaaa - this person/post is very likely town
awooo - this person/post i town lean a bit
geeeeerrrrr - this person/post I scum lean
screeeee - This person/post is super scummy and should be elimed today

a quote missing the text body but has the name refers to the person, not the post. Bold the part of the quote that seems scummy. can make readlists this way

ruff - this post/person is omgus
roof - this post/person is using AtE
yipppp - this person is tunneling and needs to chill
caff - this person is quiet/lurking
nom nom - we should ignore this person/post
mreeee weee (whining) - we should take a bigger look at this person/post
pant pant - I want this persons readlist/thoughts

an example would be
(quote ydrasse) empty body (end quote) pant pant (quote pooky) bolded text quote(end quote)

which would mean: I want to hear what ydrasse thinks about what pooky said here

nom nom (quote myself)quote content(end quote)
means this post should be ignored, if its myself then I messed up on what i meant or did it wrong

[PlusJOYED]

When I voted you first, your excessive attempts to befriend me in response feels like pocketing more than anything else Isis, sorry.

Is this reference to this phase or the post restricted phase?

this phase

[PlusJOYED]

Do you not understand why a genuine belief that the scum didn't recruit until day 2 would confirm you as town? That's unrelated to whether you scumread me

honestly my attention is more focused on the gladiator match. I don't really get why everyone is talking about recruitment and who is most likely to be recruited. We'll probably learn or have a really good idea of who was after we flip a single red until then I don't think recruit targets matter as much as they are being discussed.

[PlusJOYED]

isis if you flip green today im really sorry I interpeted you being nice as scummy pocketing attempts fyi

[PlusJOYED]

i honestly thought everyone was just making random noise and had no idea people were making code words

okay, i’m headed into work but i was ruminating a bit on what i read last night and...

i don’t know if i believe you on this; i know you’ve played some and i know you know the basics of mafia. in what world do you think that people are playing this game, a game based around communication, just posting random stuff?

i can understand apathy to some extent because like, yeah it wore personally on me, but saying you thought that it was random noise doesn’t make sense to me at all.

I stated before, I thought making up any kind of code for the sounds was qgainst the rules.

[PlusJOYED]

until post restrictions were lifted
i thought this game was kinda dumb lol

[PlusJOYED]

i do want to simplify the gladiate

[PlusJOYED]

hi, i'm here and am going to read now and post some Things, but i wanna get my tinfoil of the setup out rn:

i think it is a pawsibbility that we have to go through our nom stages with post restrictions and then get to talk about them after?

i mean, the cat IS out of the bag (please laugh) now but i'm unsure how else the mechanic would tie in as we go forward.

I think we should do our best to communicate now and lay out how the POE will move forward - there's no guarantee we will get another chance to talk in the rest of the game.

I think both you and Isis are town, which is sad because it means we have a likely misexecute.

PlusJOYEd seems to be the only one who isn’t approaching this in way that’s optimal. How do they think Drusilla was not clearly trying to communicate something? How does anyone read her ISO and seriously think she was just making random sounds? I mean those links were anything but random.

why do people think im a girl my pronoun is right there and im cis
not that its a big deal


Anyway agree with Loki here. I've come around to the idea of looking for other stuff too after giving more thought and being told im wrong, and was annoyed people were ignoring the gladiate but that was probs the correct choice. Sorry for being a VI

[PlusJOYED]

leaning town pooky town loki town ydrasse scum isis atm
null on rest

[PlusJOYED]

oh my mistake the way it was written confused me

[PlusJOYED]

I think if we get to another post restricted phase we should have a universal code. that will be fairly easy for everyone.

Every player will post their "key" in their first post:

1st Sound:

Yes - Agree

2nd Sound:

No - Disagree

3rd Sound

SR: Quoted Person for Quote

4th Sound

TR: Quoted Person for Quote

5th Sound:

Why? Explain? Elaborate?


Anything else we can add to this list that needs to be added?

i've suggested this and I've already posted mine

[PlusJOYED]

can you explain why?

PoE
Loki: townslip
drusilla: assumed in the question as stated
Pooky: assumed in the question as stated
Ydrasse: would've recruited me or you as scum, could still be a recruit but that's -50%
Isis: that's me
plus: townslipz
Tayl0r: I still think being annoying during post restriction and her flippant attitude now is townish
Kanna: PoE'd

didn't you say your TR'd taylor more than me regarding anime avatar and SR'd me?

It looks a lot like you're just scum trying to AtE from my pov

I’m still waiting for plusJOYED to explain where in this post this AtE occurred?

I remember that feeling like Isis was trying to be friendly and act pockety during this phase. I remember isis saying they SR'd me but then saying im townslipping without explanation which struck me. I guess AtE isn't the best word here, but I still feel like isis is scum and pooky is town

[PlusJOYED]

PlusJOYED assumed that this was a setup where essentially the mafia are lovers and all the townies are also secret lovers and there is only one elimination, from among the gladiated players. Going off of that assumption, if Pooky and I were both town, Hectic would end the game early and announce that it was a scum victory. He would similarly need to end the game early and declare one faction the winner if Pooky and I were both scum, which could be viewed as a scumslip for plusJOYED not including that possibility for the sake of completion.

So he wasn't saying anything about the condemning process was guaranteed to offer a choice between a town and a scum, but that he thought the fact the game had not been concluded early indicated that it was a choice between a town and a scum.

i never said/assumed that. What is a secret lover? I did think this was the final phase here but people convinced me otherwise, mainly by bringing up silent star 1 which i didnt know about

[PlusJOYED]

I'm also kinda lost and have little confidence in most of my reads at this point tbh

[PlusJOYED]

@mod v/la until Sunday

[PlusJOYED]

wtf did you do taylor lmao

[PlusJOYED]

we have no posting restrictions right?

[PlusJOYED]

i gotta say, me and taylor were probably on the scummier side this game, I don't get why we would have been chosen to be confirmed

[PlusJOYED]

pooky being maf over isis was also a suprise to me
sorry isis

[PlusJOYED]

do we know if pooky was the recruited or the recruiter?
did the maf know about lovers?

[PlusJOYED]

i think its taylor tho

[PlusJOYED]

VOTE: taylor

[PlusJOYED]

UNVOTE: taylor
actually i haven't been giving my A game this time been busy with irl stuff to actually tryhard solve this
I'll vote who isis tells me to

[PlusJOYED]

Each lover pairing has at least one unconfirmed player. So there's two executions until we lose. Tomorrow it's possible a confirmed townie has to self vote if they believe their partner is scum, today confirmed townies can put that unpleasantry off if they prefer

yeah i understood that

[PlusJOYED]

Loki I promise not to blame you if we lose this game you had above average play through the game imo

sometimes I just don't always agree with someone and that's part of mafia

Let’s say we vote NM and game doesn’t end and Ydrasse is town, then we freaking lose.

If you convince PlusJOYED to vote Taylor and Ydrasse agrees, then you win the final day

well im voting who isis tells me to

[PlusJOYED]

i agree with loki but i'd prefer voting ydrasse today

VOTE: ydrasse

[PlusJOYED]

VOTE: Ydrasse because I miss seeing plusJOYED

Didn’t you already vote her? You need one of me/Ydrasse/NM for the hammer, right?

yes but I think if I revote plusJOYED might quote it and vote and then I get to see his chipper face

Not everything I do is for wincon.

the lower the percentage of your play that's for wincon, the more fun you have

c:
sorry im letting you do the thinking here isis since im bad at it

[PlusJOYED]

one wacky idea i have is letting maf choose the first condemnation for analysis
but that's probably bad idea
im a lil sus of loki atm but that's all gut
