Alison wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 2:24 pm Syn's description of themselves as "agitating" is bothering me and I can't put my finger on why. I just think it's a little weird for someone to describe themselves/their mafia play that way. I also can't explain why that's mafia indicative though. (My best theory is that it's setting up an excuse for awkwardness/discomfort by implying that his posts always rub people the wrong way? But I don't really believe that even as I write it and it feels like a rationalization of a gut read more than anything.)

Stops on a dime to throw some shit at another townie.

So, I did see this post from Alison, and while I didn't agree with it (I wasn't bothered with the word "agitating" since I'd describe my normal play similarly, especially early game), I didn't feel like it was AI since I receive complaints like that all the time from people.

I don't even know. I just tried to give reads, but I quickly got bored of that.

TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 7:53 pm I didn’t think it was bad that we were chopping Poison. I wanted to chop poison. I clearly wanted to chop Poison. I thought Poison was mafia.

The only complaint I have about the Poison chop is that I thought Poison was town and I don't recall Marmot telling you guys. ;< I'll shoulder some of the blame though since I didn't push him as hard to tell you guys about that as I did to tell you about the Sloonei stuff.

I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but okay. <3

Alison wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 7:12 pm Wait. Is it legal for Hyena to create a pastebin link with the full chat logs of the out of threaders' group chat, and link to it here?

I suspect it is not legal, but it doesn't hurt to check.

I assumed it was not legal, but if anyone tells me otherwise, I don't mind doing this. It's easier than paraphrasing everything. x_x

Hyena wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 6:19 pm Looking at Quin stuff now,

Quin liked the way Poison was handling the wagon against her.

They also thought that Nutella's shot on LC doesn't confirm her. Thought it was suss that Nutella's entire play was that she can specifically kill Long Con?? I dunno what was meant about the latter part -- you guys should probably ask them about that.

My role said I could target anyone and if they were the "right person" they would die, if they weren't nothing would happen. In a previous Nanook game TSP had a similar role and the "right person" was LC so I was sort of memeing about that in thread with TSP and thought it would be funny if it actually was LC again, so I sent it in not really expecting it to go through but when it did it was hilarious

LC was "Dimwitted Government Agency Man". Enrique was "Magic Man".

Is there a possibility that your role kills people with "man" in their role name? I could see nanook writing up all the roles and being like "oh shit, I have a bunch of role names that end in 'man', I should make a role that can only kill those". It would be on-brand for his sense of humor I think.

Well at first I thought it was just a single target for the whole game and I'd become vanilla after the LC shot, but I asked and he said I get a new "right person" each day and can submit a target each day, so I think it's just one exact "right person" at a time, not a set of possible targets. I hate that I hit a town one though, thought it would be reassigned to a diff mafia member after LC but I guess that's not quite how it works.

So wait, you can shoot someone today, too, possibly?

Tell me what you want to know.

Hi, again. o:

Okay, I'm bored now. I'll talk about the other three (Marmot, Trustworthy, and Turnip Head) later.

Near the beginning of the game, they liked Long Con, too, with me, and thought Poison was bad.

Annnnd that's it, it looks like? Not really engaged, but to be honest, it was tough staying engaged in there without being able to interact with you guys directly.

Okay, yeah, I looked again, and our vote will either roleblock our target or do nothing. AND if we couldn't reach majority on someone enough times, we would start dying. Fortunately, that never happened.

I just followed other people's leads at the time, because I wasn't reading the thread.

And that's as far as I got before I got bored/distracted by other stuff.

THEN SLOONEI ISO-DIVED VULGARD, TOO, and made me all paranoid. :<

Oh wait, the switch to Poison was the reason why I started ???'ing Marmot. I was just like,

"Okay, I don't know about Marmot, but the fact that Vulgard didn't continue talking about Marmot and instead started focusing on Poison makes me think that Poison is actually town. I'm throwing Marmot into the ??? pile with Alison."

Vulgard wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 2:02 pm Because I want Marmot to do something other than selfvote, although I suppose that me saying that now defeats the purpose of my vote.

*gets confused* @_@

"...okay, I might need more context than this, even if I think I want to call Marmot town."
*continues reading*
"Wait.... those first two posts were made one after the other..."

"Why did he vote first and THEN ask why Marmot is selfvoting????"

"... and THEN answers Sloonei by saying he wanted Marmot to do something besides self-vote???"

"... annnnnd switches to Poison in the same post." @_@

(I promise my Marmot stuff is in the next post. I'm just setting up the narrative right now. D:)

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 6:00 pm @Hyena what did Quin do exactly?

I'll talk about this in a bit, too. In short, I don't remember much of what they did.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 5:58 pm @TonyStarkPrime explain your note giving and how you think you may have killed Sloonei?

If you killed Sloonei then who did the mafia kill? How can you think you killed Sloonei when he's clearly a mafia kill?

Also you're mafia anyway so you don't need to answer any of these loaded questions buddy.

Hold on. I got something to say about this. All of us can place a vote during the night for someone, and they may or may not get roleblocked. TSP was our target last night. Poison was our target N1 if I remember correctly. My other peeps can confirm this (and correct me on the specific mechanics of that since I probably got something wrong).

Hyena wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 5:56 pm I also said some stuff about Nutella, but that was before I realized she dayvigged LC. I can go over that part, too, if you guys want, but for now, I'll skip over that part.

Though, I -will- clarify that I ended up calling you town before I saw it.

Yo, where is everyone? ;-; The point in me coming to the thread was so that I could theoretically interact with you guys and get better reads.

Vulgard wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 3:10 pm Not really feeling Funnygurl's posts either. They feel too shitposty. Like, not in a way that comes from town. Does she always do that?

"Okay... this feels like a genuine read."
*has a playstyle similar to Funny, and has this accusation thrown at me, too, pretty often* ;-;

Funnygurl555 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 3:14 pm actually my first real read is that vulgard is fishing 'cause look at their read on alison too

you're gonna need more to catch alison as a wolf she's a goat

What do you mean by "fishing?"
And I don't know that. I haven't seen Alison play at all.

"LOL, Vulgard seems genuinely confused by Funny. They probably aren't partners."

Vulgard wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 3:09 pm I liked nutella's start, but I have some respect for their wolfgame, so I'm not going to pull an Alison and make a weakly supported solid townread on her out of nowhere.

"Whooooooa. That's some serious shade, especially considering LC hadn't flipped yet." D:

*then sees this*

Vulgard wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 3:38 amAlison has really, really leveled up since I first expressed my dislike of her posts. I currently think she’s way more likely town than I did before.

Vulgard wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 7:03 am Alison scares me.
Alison is town.

"Uh-oh...."

"... things are starting to look weird..." =/

"Marmot, can you bring this up in the thread and get people to talk about it? I'd do it myself, but... uh... I'm kinda stuck here outside the thread..."

Okay, this is what I had at the time,
town: {FG, Nutella, Poison}, ???: {Alison, Marmot}

Here's the thought process I had in our chat:

"Yay, I was right about Syn. I didn't go 0-3 on reads" (I was townreading Vulgard and Long Con before they died)
"I should go read Vulgard's ISO since they flipped scum!"
*starts looking, notices the following*

Vulgard wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 3:04 pm I don't like Alison's thin read on Long Con, I don't think it's reasonable to townread him for such a thing this early.

"Didn't LC flip mafia, too? I should probably look at what Alison said about LC"
*looks*

Alison wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 11:50 am I like LC jumping on a perceived slip. It's not a real slip, but being attentive to scumslips is townie (mafia know exactly who the mafia are most of the time and don't care) and the way he handled it doesn't look like scum trying to drum up suspicion based on a poor choice of wording.

"Okay, a townread..."

"I SUSPECT ALISON IS ACTUALLY TOWN..."

"...and Vulgard had actually planned on casting suspicion on her for townreading LC in the even LC flipped scum!!"
*thinks*
"Did that happen when LC flipped scum? I should look into that" *never did* ;-;

(will be continued in a moment!)

Oh wait, Nute was the one who dayvigged LC, lol.

Just to describe how NOT engaged I've been with the game, I don't even remember what reads I gave from reading Vulgard's ISO that I scumread Sloonei for having, too.

I think I said Funny and Nute were town. Brb, gonna check.

you're nuts, Hyena has been openwolfing all day

Idk, more openhyenaing.

Also, I love you guys. <3

nutella wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 3:54 pm hmm

also it sounded like marmot and hyena had a neighbor chat? is that the source of your crusade against marmot?

I called Marmot and Sloonei partners. I had thought that maybe Marmot was passing what I said to Sloonei, because Marmot didn't join us until Night 1.

Caramel popcorn here. :P I'm glad (as well as a little sad! ;-;) Sloonei died. Marmot really understated my paranoia that someone passed what I was saying in our chat to Sloonei, but Sloonei dying and flipping town alleviates that concern, lol.

Also, I'm so behind in the thread. ;-;
