This guy isn't cool I suggest we lynch him immediately. After all Philly is the best city on the East Coast, the city of brotherly love, the most amazing place in the world. I highly even doubt this PoS was able to destroy Philadelphia it's probably just like floating somewhere in the multi-verse.

Tone and swag

That applies to whoever has it and who doesn’t is a scum lean ofc

Actually I thought TSP was being serious so maybe not a town lean anymore because it’s obv not serious so now i dislike the slot a bit

Could you please define this swag and also indicate where its absence can be noted?

Are you gonna get anything from my alignment out of me developing why a tone is good / bad for me? I don’t even think I can do that tbh, it will turn out to be an incoherent chaining of words that don’t help anyone to read me

I just wanted to throw my suspicions out and let people know who I’m observing. It’s page 2 reads anyway, it’s some place to build from.

Tone reads always have underlying reasons.

How’d you twist me explaining why tone reads are holistic and are really subjective into me not wanting you to ask me questions lol. My point was that it’s an unproductive way of sorting me, not that I wouldn’t want you to ask me questions lol

Regarding J’s request, i’ll do it some time later prob in like 30 minutes idk i have class

Cyaaaaa

Your bottom two paragraphs read like you don't want to be part of this conversation. "Don't ask me to explain these things, just accept them." I will read you, one way or another, based on what I can glean from your activity. This is our first real mafia game together. My thing is that I ask people questions. Your answers will always tell me something.

G-Man wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 1:43 pm Of the options presented in the poll, I have to go with vanilla. Sure, it's ‘plain’ but it is also the most versatile flavor there is, even more so than chocolate. You can pair it with many other flavors (Neapolitan anyone?) and it’s the perfect base for just about any additional ingredient.

As for this game, I will keep up as best I can. That means that I will read back a page or two at the most when playing catch-up. I drag my feet too often doing full re-reads and I want to play more in the moment this time.

In other words, real life is very busy and my wife doesn’t know that I am playing.

Mint chocolate chip is thin mints in ice cream form. Why on god’s minty green earth would anyone dislike that?

[VOTE: Strawberry] aubergine
Its versatility is not far behind vanilla’s, and a good creamy strawberry ice cream is hard to beat on its own. I don’t care for it when it has chunks of freeze dried strawberries in it though.

To be clear, is the point of concern that you feel he was pushing you away?

It was that he seemed to be trying to dodge the responsibility of answering a generic Day 0 prod. Or night 0, whatever this is. I'm willing to give him time and space to settle into the game on his own terms, though.

Cool beans. Similarly, I feel that you've shied away from my accusation of you. Whaddap wit dat?

It doesn't move me very much. You'll see Town Sloon soon enough, and I can develop a read on you without it. If you have a specific point you'd like me to address, give it.

An accusation of you doesn't move you?

JJJ dissing Sloonei is inherently unusual and would on its own power seem to demand some kind of interchange -- one I wouldn't expect to have to press for. You suggested ted was sort of dodging you; I didn't get that impression. I saw him pose a philosophical question of general strategy (i.e. "how much can you really glean from X?") without a dismissive tone. Folks often don't know what to do with your questions, Sloonbeard, it's something that has gotten you into trouble.

Moreover, my initial spark of suspicion came as a product of "do you not want me to ask questions?". That is itself hardly an accusation, but it seems as though you bear some degree of suspicion of ted. That was unclear to me until I asked just now. Clarity is not something I am used to lacking with Sloonei.

A Day 0 poo fling from Jay is a very usual thing. But since we're here:

Spoiler: show

Each of the bottom two paragraphs here struck me as suggesting discomfort from ted. You highlighted the first paragraph, which I acknowledge could be a response from a player who is not accustomed to my aggressive style of questioning. But the bottom paragraph resonated more strongly with me. "I just wanted to throw my suspicions out and let people know who I'm observing." The wording suggests that my light pressure has put him in a spot that he does not want to be in. Whether he doesn't want to be in that spot because his reads are bogus, or because he's not accustomed to providing so much detail this early on, I do not know.

ted was town in All My Circuits and sprit's wacky social experiment thing. I should review those games.

These two posts gave me good feelings about nutella:

She's right that she says this every game, but the observation I've made is that Town nutella is more casual and flippant about her suspicion of Sloonei, while Mafia nutella can be a bit rigid about it. These two posts in quick succession struck me as merry read-vomiting nutella.

It seems like a big leap to equate "strong reads" to reads that are "thrown out like candy." The latter suggests the opposite of strength. This strikes me as a reverse-engineered basis for suspicion.

First they're still leans. I'm not singing their praising or locking them people are already trying to form a town core which is all well and good until you accidentally town core mafia and they get away with sleazy stuff until it's to late. Which happens all the time.

I guess one could argue they're not strong if they're throwing them out, but unilaterally declaring multiple town read without giving much information seems to be giving a strong read.

Perhaps you are reading strength into other people's reads. I do not believe that I am one of the people this statement is directed at, but I've been faced with this criticism plenty of times in the past. Throwing out early reads like candy is a strategy certain players follow. Those do not need to be strong reads at all.

Second:
Michelle is mainly based off of gut
Ted is based off previous games this is well within his civ meta. Everything from jumping in, to his semi aggressiveness and all that jazz. Now it's still early easy to fake meta, but I'm confident in those two loans.

3A) People are "trying to form a town core", presumably the same ones who made sig antsy a moment ago.
3B) Tedxtr is still town.

Mainly seems like Jack/Ted. Whom are throwing out alot of strong reads.

Now just to clarify nobody is using the term town core, but me at this point. But, I think it's the natural step when making to many reads early on and it's something to avoid

4) Tedxtr is one of the people who is throwing out strong reads. People throwing out strong reads make sig antsy.

But tedxtr is town.

Sloonei getting all aggressive with sig rubs me the wrong way, becasue this is something I seem to recall seeing Sloonei doing fairly often, getting in sigs face. It's an easy stance for Sloonei to fall into. My thoughts on Chuck are wrapped up in his poll vote

What do you base this read of me on? sig is a notorious mislynch target often, but I don't think I've ever been a regular opponent of his. If I have questions for/about him, I'll ask them. That's what I did here. I am not currently feeling especially suspicious of him.
