The correct poll answer is chocolate chip cookie dough or that's how I roll but whatever.

Samesies, Jack.

Neither of you strikes me as vanillas.

juliets (asking you since you seem to be the town historian, but anyone can answer) are Day Zero option polls with meaning a thing anymore?

Vanilla is absolutely the best flavor of icecream. It just goes best with other stuff in it.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Feb 24, 2020 11:10 pm Saitama is mafia? We might as well give up now.

Honestly, I was thinking the same. And the other mafia has the fucking Antimonitor in charge. The only townies that aren't strickly street level are Deedee, Agatha, the Monitor and Santa and of those, only Santa really has a chance of scratching either big bad.

Luckily, lynches override traditional weight classes.

For the record, Santa has either extreme reaction time or extreme time alteration powers that allow him to visit the houses of all good christian children in one night without ramming his sled into anything, strength and durability to go toe to toe with Lobo and to tank Apokolips's aerial batteries, immortality (possibly due to being an elf but definitely hundreds of years old), and limited omniscience letting him know the moral choices and consciousness of millions of people at any given moment. I just don't think he can take a punch from Saitama or survive the antimatter wave. Has anyone survived either of those things?

Jay gets the most undeserved townread of all time from me based on page 1 alone.

I don't think a favorite ice cream poll is at all alignment indicative for anyone. Like my favorite ice cream flavor doesn't fluctuate with my alignment.

Nobody is actually getting lynched for an ice cream flavor vote so even Michelle/Sig saying "Bet there's a scum here in the vanilla voters" could be the barest of distancing. Not that I think either of them is necessarily scum with a vanilla voter, just that I wouldn't even rule that out, it's such a nothing thing.

Like Nutella is playing what I would expect from her if she tried really hard to mimic her town game.

Or she’s just town.

Like she’s hitting her scumtell a and her towntells.

Specifically, Nutella is showing waffles, wim and opportunism.

How do you distinguish between a nutella who wants to look like her town self and a nutella who is her town self?

One waffles and doesn’t show opportunism.

The other shows opportunism and says she’s waffling.

Also, if my read changes, I’ll pretend I was just trying to provoke a reaction all along.

But I really do think she’s a baddie.

She threw out a nothing hot take and hasn’t been around much. Town Michelle wants it more and has a certain feel to her content that I’m not getting at this point.

Now, I’m never lynching Michelle today. I’m on a threeish game hot streak for reading her correctly and I’m not messing it up because she got busy or something.

Given the development of the game to that point, I think it was as something as one could reasonably expect it to be. She's doing better at a low post count than most of her post-count-counterparts.

Okay. But town Michelle rarely has a low post count.

The vanilla read thing isn’t scum indicative. It’s just not town indicative and like two or three people said it was for some reason.

@JaggedJimmyJay you said that I was nominated for mvp for a reason. Now I totally could’ve nominated myself but I didn’t (so thank you to whoever did that) but your statement for that was hollow in that I play mafia my way and that’s how I get results. Same as everyone. So if you want MVP material you’re just gonna have to wait for it because it’ll come with time.

What’d Mac say in Inception to the scum team? “Sprityo is a crucial mislynch” although I like to think of myself more like a snowball

Enough about me though-

I don’t care about this nanook sig radishes kerfuffle that happened between pages 6 and 10 roughly, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say jack is mafia this game. Just pure gut. I have no reason other than I think it.

Also Dom is here, huzzah! I enjoyed playing with Dom in Inception and can’t wait for another game with him. Same to Dizzy, I love their zanyness.

Jay is also 100% town. Don’t ask me why

That’s my lukewarm takes, Jack bad, jay good

SVS probably town as well. I have too many townreads for a multiball game.

sabie12 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 8:05 am Hey svs! it's been awhile since we've been in a game together.
I see the votes on jack and I'm not sure. I thought i had a good idea of Jack's gameplay but I've been wrong a couple times. I feel like he tries really hard to blend in and look civ when he's bad and has been a more aggressive and jokey player when civ. He accused nutella in another game and ended up getting mislynched early on and was right about her. Nutella can be difficult to read at times but I have been able to read her correctly before. When I have more time later I'll have to read through their ISOs

Nanook was bad last game I played in and he was good at seeming like a civilian for awhile. I actually only started suspecting him towards the end. I haven't had a chance to look over his civ gameplay style to see if it is similar.
I saw JJJ put me in the bottom part of the reads when I haven't even done anything yet or is it because I haven't done anything yet? I didn't even know the game had started and it's a lot to catch up on. I'm not super talkative in the beginning of games sometimes but I'm trying to get better at it.

Sabie Sabie. I didn’t get mislynched. I can even physically be mislynched.

I gathered a few votes and then told Nutella she better shoot me and claim the mafia was trying to frame her, which is exactly what she did.

I’ve correctly read Nutella like 8 games running on D1. She’s a baddie.

[mention]juliets[/mention]

Jay asked for the same thing and I answered in a single post with a “^Nutella reads I don’t believe” or some such at the bottom.

sig wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 9:01 am I'm liking svs posts.

Dom/sab hasn't done much yet, but they're here so would like to see more there.

Not liking Mac's lack of explanation on reads, but I seem to remember that's how he's been playing recently.

I also didn't see anything that bad with nutella. She seems to be playing her normal day one self.

I need to read over Jack, his tone/style does seem a bit off. But, not necessarily mafia behavior. What is this known Jack scum tell he's displaying?

The “Mac makes up bullshit” one, probably.

As someone who has been playing with nutella for over 10 years (with some hiatuses [hiatii?]) I don't think she sounds fake. I think considering the back and forth Jack and she have had in many games, her thoughts on him sound pretty genuine.

But what I DO find yucky is this post:

Per the rules,

Plus this just reads like the classic baddie "valuable civvie" ploy (it used to have a spiffy name, but I forget what it was). "If you try to lynch me, you will be sorry." More than anything else you have said, this post makes me think you're bad, and you weren't King of my Shining Civvie Hill before this post.
