Why have you placed it?

Here’s a question: who else here has owned a rabbit before?

Was it a good question?

I should try to have fun. It's becoming increasingly difficult in Mafia.

No, it was objectively self-fulfilling.

Kyle, I would like to formally accuse you of acknowledging this game and then not doing things, not even silly things.

It was since I didn't like your 'check in' post. I can't say I liked your explanation of it neither, nor your reaction to MacDougal's vote.

So here we go,

[VOTE: JaggedJimmyJay] aubergine

What answer could 3J have given to your question that made asking it relevant to the game of mafia?

What do you mean? I'm not following.

I was prodding him with that question since the post pinged me. It felt awkward and forced.

I like loose and funny check-in posts. His felt weird. Like he had it pre-made or he didn't know what to say and just wrote 'check in post'. I like to pay attention to openers since I believe that's a very awkward phase of the game for baddies. There is no flow or pace to the game at that moment.

Your eyeroll emoji felt awkward and forced.

I sense the inactivity virus will be running rampant here.

[VOTE: Elohcin] aubergine, this is the sort of small game you prefer. Where you at?

i don't have that yet. my gth read on you is civ though, based on the fact that mafia jay is more content to let a dead thread sleep, and you've done the opposite of that.

Is this canon?

It should be cuz he right

@JaggedJimmyJay do you feel like this attitude has been represented here? why or why not?

I don’t have time to play two games largely on my phone. I’m also well beyond tired of this game.

So no, I haven’t made a great effort to move this thread if that’s your question.

Elohcin wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 4:32 pm As of right now, I can see why JJJ has the most votes (even though it's only 2). His excuses for not carrying the thread don't feel genuine. He is participating enough in another game he is in.

If you feel that carrying the thread is important, why don't you give it a try?

I'm not doing it. If it's on me every game, then we're going to lose and it will be a mafia cakewalk.

I think nova's suspicion of me looks authentic after he has expanded upon it. Scotty was a soul read and I have no idea. I'll go look.

Scotty probably doesn't deserve a green. I at least agree with what he said about Choutas. His posts have a nice tone but are still vacant.

It's the least descriptive of all types of reads. Here, view the following depiction that I have created for fun and joy and insight:

M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 9:02 pm Why did you call Elo a mafia read, Jay?

Saying I wasn't genuine in being tired of the game because the game just started sounds like fake shit to me. She may have genuinely misunderstood me, but her interpretation given her understanding is hard to take seriously. Did I expect people to think I went from not tired to tired of this game before Day 1 is half over? Silly.

How have I handled his suspicion of you? And why do one of us have to be bad in this exchange?

Asked a few basic questions reminiscent of your initial criticism of him.

You don't.

I meant Scotty's posts are vacant. Yours are too though.

Stop letting me lead the post count. Y'all step up. Let's go, get to it. I don't want to be this guy for once. Give me a break.

Quin wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 9:14 pm nova has only said what he likes to see in a check-in post. He's said nothing about what he learned from questioning you. It was a pointless exercise until we learn what he got from that interaction.

Is this ever going to happen when you let the exercise die with "cool. cool, cool, cool"? That was closure.

Quin wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 9:14 pm Before now, I was green and he was orange, if we're to equate your scoring earlier to something. Your explanation for that switcharoo is only justified by which of the two of us you like more.

What more justification should exist under the present conditions?

Quin wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 9:14 pmThere's no hint of suspicion there. So I'll disagree with the latter.

I don't know what this means.

Ridiculous garbage.

I asked you why I'm bad and you gave me a one or the other with nova. Doesn't apply to the rest.

I your exchange with another player, I thought you looked crappier than that player. The rainbow reflects that apparent crappiness. That doesn't imply that one of you must be bad. That you've stuffed that nonsense into my mouth and then pretended I said it is frankly worse than anything you did before that.

You don't suspect me.

[VOTE: Quin] aubergine

Quin wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 12:21 am Remove the word "crappier". You didn't say that. You didn't indicate an actual read in the slightest. I gave you a cue to elaborate on a read of me with something that didn't rely on a comparison between me and nova and you didn't. You stuffed that nonsense in your own mouth. I only have to read your posts to prove it.

That is a read. If I have cause to say that you look distinctly worse than someone else in any dialogue, then that means at least one thing that you said in that dialogue rubbed me the wrong way -- enough to render you an orange.

I don't have to provide some separate read in which I detach you from nova. That's fucking stupid. The read I have of you is derived from your interaction with nova. To demand that I separate you from that and provide the resulting read is to demand that I not have a read.

You're talking with your ass cheeks.

Quin wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 12:36 am "I buy X more than Y" is not a read. If there was a thing that rubbed you the wrong way, I want you to tell me what it is. Because "I buy X more than Y" isn't it. X>Y means nothing to me.

So tell me specifically what your deal is.

I already did this.

I told you: you threw a few basic posts at about his immediate and continuing treatment of me in this thread. nova answered them, and you closed the door on the dialogue with "cool. cool, cool, cool". I question the authenticity of that progression. I don't know what you learned about nova from that exchange.

This was the origin of my flip-flop. I liked nova's handling of the matter and I didn't care for yours.

Separately, we have this:

You seem to be waiting for more clarification from nova, to render the exercise less "pointless", even though you already made it seem like you were satisfied with the dialogue and finished with it (cool x4).

Quin wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 12:39 am I also want to know why you tried to pass the buck of the nova conversation onto me, when it's you he was talking about.

Pass what buck? nova probably still suspects me. His vote is still on me. That is irrelevant to this conversation.

Quin wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 12:50 am Fact is, by comparing us as you did, you make it as though those two reads exist together. If nova's argument made you feel better about him and my argument made you feels worse about me, those are separate reads. They should have been separate.

They DO exist together. The reads derive from a series of posts involving each of you to include a literal exchange between you.

Why do the reads have to be separate? Why does that matter?

Quin wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 12:50 am You also said I closed the door on the nova discussion. Why are you going through my door? Get your own.

It's not. It's another reason why I suspect you.

What do you mean by "passing the buck"? I don't actually know.

I think he already made it clear what he learned, or at least how he felt. I don't actually know what more you expect from him.

This is an unhelpful answer. I have no clearer understanding of what you're saying than I did before.

You're not mean. Mafia is a game of confrontation.

Quin wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 1:14 am I don't know how else to phrase it. Because they exist together, based off of that first post you make it sound like one of us has to be bad. Then you say that's not true, which makes it sound like the read is fabricated.

I don't understand how orange brings you to red. Why can't I like one player less than another in some exchange and still conceive of a universe in which both are civilians?

Where are we without it?
