You've now made five distinct appearances in the thread across your six posts, each appearance separable by a minimum of 35 minutes. None of them has resulted in anything.

Seriously tho why?

The Grand Unified Theory of Mafia, attributed to JaggedJimmyJay in his seminal 2019 paper "A Unification of Mafia Theory: Connections Across Alignments and Behavioral Trends" posits that a mafioso is less likely to voice interest in accusations that will strike many observers as silly (and my rey/nova switcharoo qualifies in that category). Civilians have no idea what to do with Day 0 crap though and will explore anything available with enthusiasm.

Yep.

Filler post. And you said REY was trying too hard? Bugger off with that.

The fuck is a filler post? Do you not want me to generate content? I don't believe you really suspect me for that post. You just thought it would be an easy thing to appear suspicious of.

Yes, I want you to generate content. That post said nothing, had no content.

I am accusing you of pretending to generate content. Was that unclear?

Well they're my thoughts so far, take them or leave them. I'm accusing you of fabricating a suspicion.

What content would you say is present in your post? What should I take away from that post that helps me get a feeling either on you or from you on others?

nutella

That I was eager to hear more from you and Sloonei, and that in sloonei's case I was putting him on the spot/warming that I would end up suspecting him if he didn't start producing content, and he still hasn't so he is still on notice whereas you have provided civilian-indicating data.

It stroke me as weirdly succinct on first read, and I compared it to some of her entry posts in previous games. I have no data on baddie Sabie, however her Civilian self usually starts the game with some chatter. She feels comfortable, and appears easy going.

She comes offcold here, or timid I'd say. Right to the point. I don't care much as well for the general compliment, and the addition of an emoji. Probably an attempt at appearing more friendly.

I'd like to come back to this. When, and what did Jay accuse you of? He simply asked me to expand my thoughts on you. He has you as green in his rainbow list.

Also, what do you mean by "get all the suspicions off of them"? Has there been any suspicion on any of us to begin with at that time?

Do you actually believe that we are scum teammates?

Nevermind Jay and Nova. Seems like they are strong-arming everyone at the door with their check-in posts. It's simply a power show.

What does this "power show" indicate to you about rey and I?

I didn't mention rey. It just makes you and Nova look like you're excited for the game, and don't mind punching reads out of people's check-in posts. I like the enthusiasm, but your methods look a bit harsh.

This... is actually interesting. Rey for Nova slip. I'm intrigued.

I was like “What are you talking about?”

You were like “See my next post, wherein I naked vote Nova.”

And now I’m like “What are you talking about?” again.

As I was reading things that had happened earlier in my absence, it seemed like people in general were intent on moving the discussion in the thread forward as much as possible. These posts seemed at best apathetic to thay forward progress, and at worst resistant to it.

Scum doesn’t care if the game moves forward?

Scum tries to stall game progress?

This is your case?

As an observation, it’s whatever but you’ve voted for me twice so it feels like this is supposed to be more than an observation.
