You're a toilet-shaped mafioso.

Mind blown

Your read on me is right! And I think maybe 2015 but yeah you're right. I woulda been super bummed if I got a lame mafia role. Also I thought your rules post was because you're that dean dude or whatever and he always is saying all those rules and stuff.

We're supposed to be our characters right or like is no one else doing it. It's no fun if I'm the only one.

I was about to respond but then other things came up that I wanted to respond to more sooooo I did. A lot was happening all at once and I tried to respond to all the things!

Also I can't vote in the poll

Yes! It's too loud

I'm watching community while playing a community game. Communityception

Maaaaaan I don't know my brain hurts I didn't know there was a quiz on the first day. Wait it's the zero day...or is it zeroth day?

I'm hoping epi is my best friend, but I can't quite tell for sure yet. It'd be super cool if he is though!

Aww man epi you're a cool dude but not my bestest friend though. Hoping one of you is! I also hope everyone shows up to class eventually.

So sad that so many people haven't checked in yet. Guess they're not as excited about this game as I thought people would be. Come join our study group guys!

From my previous interactions with dunya and Jay I gather they both like to post a lot and get conversations going. I don't know that, that means they're good or bad more like just what they like to do.
I don't always feel like I can get super great reads on people just from the random banter on day 0.

Pardon my lack of participation today I was at work and now I'm at a funeral
Will be back to Study group later guyz

Sorry I've been missing class. Irl stuff has been getting in the way. I was super excited for this game but struggling to keep up due to a lot of different things going on outside of here.

I don't think I've played with dfaraday since I've been back. Maybe before but I dont recall for sure. He has very little posts but the most votes. What's the case on him?

JJJ and dunya seem like how I've seen them play before. I don't think the way they post makes them inherently bad.

I did see a couple posts pointing out how bad I am at day 1 reads. I mean that's not wrong I do have a hard time with it. I thought it would a little more fun roleplay banter but alas its turning serious already. The game is being Britta'd

Seriously though I guess I will have to try to read up and catch up on stuff.

I noticed ddl and dunya had a lot of back and forth so I was at first like what if they're teammates, but she voted him so probably not. Unless she plans to move votes. I'm not a fan of DDLs sort of snarky jab at how I post. Epi seems less talkative and involved than usual to me. Kinda leaning bad on DDL and Epi and they also voted together.

I hope this post is short enough for you

I feel like people are trying to force me to make random reads based on really not much of anything so I did and that's still not good enough for you. *wahhhhhh storms out of the library*

Seriously though I am not skilled at trying to make day 1 reads and had to start somewhere. I mean some people have like 5 posts. What can you even get out of that?

Although in one game svs got all offended because I said it was weird she said bye instead of RIP and shes like you really think thats a reason to suspect me? And then she actually was bad.

Epignosis wrote: ↑Wed Feb 27, 2019 10:23 pm People, votes are changeable. At this stage, there is no reason not to have a vote on the board right now. Awhora

Fine voting DDL for now I find him suspicious.

I just don't have the time and availability to play like I thought I would. Too much going on. I'm sorry for not really being here

I felt like everyone was pressuring me to just throw out reads based on random stuff like everyone else does. So I did that and now it's like the only thing anyone can focus on. It's not my style but I feel like my style is not very accepted and I think I was getting overly offended when maybe I shouldn't. There is nothing to analyze in my post I just threw out random silly stuff because no one likes me being cautious and unsure and just making a list of random thoughts and observations like I normally do apparently. That's it there's nothing else to it. I felt like ddl was suspicious but due to time constraints and other things I wasnt able to put together a big post about why I feel that way.

I'll just go back to the normal way I post and not try to fit in with what everyone else does. I am who I am and I can't change it. It's all good.

you should absolutely do you and don't worry about anyone's expectations, sabie. i love reading your thoughts, and though it's only my second game with you, i feel like your sincerity is what gives you a special mafia flavor and i like to see what you contribute.

so do you mean to say that the thing about epi not posting as much as you're used to was just to fill up the post because you felt your playstyle was being attacked? or did you actually feel epignosis was posting less than usual?

I don't know why everyone is so focused on that. I meant more like I thought he usually had more to say like longer posts. That's all. Not really anything to delve that far into. I should know better than to get on epis bad side. He did kill me off in that ice cream game pretty quick

I am troy. I was hoping to find my bff abed so we could do our awesome talk show but then no one was really roleplaying anymore and then it didn't happen.

dunya wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 8:53 pm in case i do die, cos role shenanigans are a thing even if i'm not specifically targeted: nova/ddl/sabie/DF as cbob's teammate. sabie ignoring my point against her doesn't seem very sabie like. i'm putting her in the pile again since i didn't like the hypocrisy in being offended at being scum-read because of how much content was in her posts, but using it as a reason to scum read epi herself...confusing and an inaccurate representation.

possible s/a: ddl/mac maybe quinster.

i feel genuinely good about everyone else.

I thought I responded to you what did I ignore?

RIP Dunya I enjoyed playing with you again.


In response to all the things asked of me:
A few people were commenting on the fact that I am relatively wishy washy in the beginning of mafia games and typically get a bunch of random thoughts into one post. I felt like they were saying that's a bad thing and why am I not better by now. So I posted reads on a couple people with some random reasoning. As like everyone else does. It wasnt something to be delved that far into and yet everyone latched onto that and is like why is sabie so weird and wrong this game. The fact that epi took my one post saying I thought his posts were usually longer and is like oh sabie must be bad is a little sketchy to me. I didn't vote him and wasn't going to vote for him over just that. It was just something I thought, but I guess I'm wrong. I'm sorry. I think dunya is right that often times people just don't understand me or get me or whatever.

I find myself always answering the same things over and over until people listen to me like in world asunder with that crazy lady in the woods. Gah that was so annoying

I'll just make it clear now in case it wasn't already that I want you to play the game however you want to play it. I'm not here to dictate your play. I will certainly prod you for reads, ask you questions, and if I see fit throw accusations at you. I will do that to anyone, because it is necessary for the game to function. You are sabie12 though, and I am perfectly happy when you play like sabie12.

That itself would describe some of the suspicion I have had of you to this point. I'm concerned you have been too concerned with appeasing [what you perceive to be] the wants and demands of other players to alleviate their suspicions of you (instead of focusing on your own effort to figure out who is bad however you might be inclined to do it).

I think you sound pretty genuine right now.

Idk why I let it bother me so much. Troy just wants to fit in with you guys and be a part of your study group.

Eh I don't like how he immediately clung to my post about him and took it as I must be bad and continues to stick with it and give me a hard time. I wasn't actually planning on voting him before but eh he's seeming more sketchy now. And he didn't seem to care about dunya being killed off.

Pray tell:

What exactly would me caring that dunya was killed off look like?

Any kind of statement saying you were disappointed she got killed off. You used her being killed off as more reason to suspect me.
Also it looks like you're the only one Bob said was civ.

Voting epi at the moment I'll check back in later. I have to go do dinner with the parents.

Who were you planning on voting for before?

I voted for DDL he was my other suspicion.

Epignosis wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2019 8:44 pm I changed my vote to Colin in order to give sabie some room to breathe and talk freely.

Do you think colin is bad?

Wait so I read that long post and it says there is no interaction with cbob and epi but cbob did have a post offering a civ read on epi or does that not count? It looks like epi is the only one that cbob ultimately said was good.

It’s really just that I have more reasons to read other people as civilians than I have for you. What do you think of reywaS?

Well he hasn't said a whole lot and said he isn't even going to bother trying to read and catch up which is ehhhh. I mean idk I figure even though I'm not great at being here often or making good reads I at least try to look over what was going on while I wasn't around. Thing is I thought rey was bad in a couple other games and he wasn't

Quin wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2019 9:31 pm I have even less to say about sabie. I can't really pick out any particular post to look at, I'd rather talk about her posts as a whole. She reminds me a little bit of nutella, her posts all come across as a stream-of-consciousness kind of thing, but a much more conversational way. I don't think she's shying away from anything (maybe dunya's question before she died, if anything) and she's wearing her heart on her sleeve.

This is my first time playing with her that I'm aware of, so I can't actually compare it between games unless I actually went and looked. Sabie just makes me feel good inside.

I appreciate that. We have actually been in games together before but didn't interact much. The spaceforce one you were bad and got lynched very quickly and the other was world asunder where you were indie and did your own thing. I'm inclined to believe you also are good as you seem a lot more chill this game than when you were a mafia role.



It seems like its between ddl and reywas. I originally was suspicious of ddl but Rey has contributed much less and seems pretty uninterested in whatever happens.

Moved vote to rey since I know it's not me and he hasnt been contributing. He doesnt seem to care what's going on at all.

This makes me even more sad about dying now! Sighhh oh well
