Yuck.
Do you think Epi was being irrational for the reasons Quin outlined?

Post restrictions seem like they're being used for amusement's sake, not sure anything rules out mafia targeting mafia with them since they aren't of the silencing or hard inconveniencing type anymore unless VP doesn't know what he's doing.

Epi's "I'm reading LC as town and I'm never saying why" childhood taunt makes me want to think town.

Assuming three things: First, Eloh is bad. Second, Mafias aren't self-targeting. Third, the VP curses someone. This would mean that Eloh would have had to be with the troupe and would have had to have thrown sprityo2 under the bus when she could have saved him. I'm not especially comfortable believ...

There are people who are posting less/scumhunting less than they would otherwise because they are afraid of dying by the other team via nightkill. Who are they? You're missing the point; I'm getting bored. Why did you think that Snow Dog and DDL were partners based on the Snow Dog posts you quoted?

I didn't do much anyway, but now I'll definitely be phone posting while we do Christmas things. I voted for DDL. I think he's bad. And with that, I'm gonna vote LC in order to attempt to put another option in the table. Despite voting for you first time round I have good feelings about you. I won't...

Merry Christmas 'yall. I'm here for a few hours and then I'll likely just be lurking from my phone while my relatives are over for the afternoon. My vote's probably going to go to Luffy again. I didn't get anything from our conversation to steer me away from that idea. Doesn't seem like Luffy's in ...

My case is that you used language which allows you to state suspicion on someone without commiting to it. The fact day 1 was already done for you doesn't undermine that, because the game has more than one day. Long term planning exists. What exactly was going over your mind if you were bad is somet...

I would 100% give a scumpartner a post restriction if I had the ability; I think that assuming mafia won't target each other (especially with provable actions) is making a pretty bad assumption most days.

I didn't understand what Elo was getting at when she said that baddies had game-related "Sirs" as well.

Snow Dog I've wanted to vote all game. Zebra I don't really have an opinion.

Quin wrote: If I read a post saying 'Hey, I intend to vote for Quin today', I'd feel pretty confident that they'd have something to talk about.

If you have something to talk about, why not just say it?

I'm liking Epi a lot more.
Him townreading Daisy around where I'm townreading Daisy shouldn't be a reason for me to like him but it is.

I meant to post that like 4 times but forgot.

Daisy is town! Hopefully!

I keep getting murdered. Have mercy, baddies. I'm gonna put my vote down on Luffy. I've got other plans for this afternoon that don't involve waiting around to talk to someone who might not even show up. So far the entirety of your DDL suspicion that I can see is nothing, unless I missed something....

Elo, I fail to see how you calling Epi "sir" was at all related to Daisy's point, or, if it wasn't, how what you posted was a rebuttal to anything but you calling Epi "sir". And the fact you managed to warp things that horribly makes me considerably more suspicious of you as a r...

Nacho, it is significantly weaker. Enough for me to not be town reading him. Not enough for me to get a significant sense of doom though. Could be bad, could be indy... but it would not be truthful to say I am reading him bad yet either (although I'm still working my way through older posts and his...

But as of right now I feel good with Golden, DDL, Sig, JoH townreads. I don't have anything beyond that although I do have a wealth and a half of scumreads. Hi Elo! Please come talk to me, this game is boring :( Why are you leaning on Epi when he's reading you wrong? Doesn't it make you suspicious t...

I think I would be a happier camper if I had more people to talk to; this is a brutal game so far (I do not have many town reads that I feel comfortable with at this point which is exceptionally strange for me). I'm hoping that things become more dense as I make my way through; I think part of the w...

I'm excited to understand this site's meta more where I can start to understand roles more - I didn't have a single guess to who was what role by the end of Monkey Island and I've found the lack of information makes me feel very very lost, but I'm hoping that changes pretty soon!! You! You're the g...

Quin, I expect my opening will be a bit lower volume than Monkey Island due to vacation and preparing for vacation - hence the whole "I shouldn't join but I love you guys too much to do anything else" thing. That's all good. I wasn't calling you suspicious for it or anything, it was just ...

Also the Nacho dude looks like he is blending. I recall him commenting on a lot of subjects but never got too involved. I liked when DDL voted me initially in retrospect; I liked that he just went his own way and didn't try to dip into anything that was going on around him. I think that when mafia ...

I liked Golden's early townread on Zebra; it felt personal. No reason he couldn't fake it as scum (he probably would fake it as scum because multiball), but it felt genuine.

I don't understand why people are suspecting DDL even a little bit; I've seen him annoyedly posting at Golden and Quin and he seems pure enough to me.

Elo frequently gets overwhelmed and behind in games, it's why she usually says she likes Heists better than full games. But in all this time playing with her I have never felt like she specifically was sheeping Epi . It's a new move for her and I can't see a good reason for it that looks civ to me....

Hi Epi!
Can you talk about why you think your wife is trying to kill you while I'm trying to catch up? It might make fighting the good fight go a bit smoother!

Long Con's role analysis here : Golden, I'm looking for your input on this specifically; I was impressed how you looked at his Monkey Island role spec and came away feeling great about it (and was even more impressed when I agreed with your conclusions). I was expecting you to comment on it here bec...

And hilariously enough, didn't read Spacedaisy's post above mine before that last post. SD, why do you find Elo leaning on Epi to be odd behavior from her? It seems only natural to lean on someone close to you for reads; I get that you haven't seen it from her before, but have you played a game wit...

Other things that are coming to me as the gears are turning is that I don't understand the recent Golden suspicion - I liked his recent response to Epignosis over the "clown" comment - his talk about how Epignosis changes his mind based on internal mechanisms and there's nothing he can do ...

Going to go on to DDL now... see you guys sometime tomorrow, I'm sure he has posted a lot as per his usual. Nacho: That was no my point. My point was I think Elo knows that and is trying to buddy him by seeking out and sheeping his opinions. I actually am civ reading Epi and have been since the sta...

I will say that I weight Epi's suspicion of Elo heavily, being the whole married couple thing and all - is there a reason I shouldn't do this?

Okay. I am worn out to shit but I finally finally finally have some free time on my hands and it's time to do some work. I am only focused on doing a reread of the game today; don't care one whit about organizing my reads into some form that makes sense, just want to get the game read and commented ...

I'm adding myself to the chorus of apologies because getting back on track after holiday sucks bunches; I might have a little time to sneak around in the morning but am unbelievably relieved to see Dom consensus although I don't have the time to read/understand why.

A bunch of pages

Christmas lasted longer than I expected and I ended up forgetting that this game existed in the process; I'm sorry for that, but, on the bright side, if the scum are sweethearts that will let me survive for one more night then I'll see if I can't make some magic happen tomorrow!

Not sure why DDL saying that Golden is a civ sets off your buddying sense for him and not others, especially when others have managed to be more persistent, loud, colorful, or kissassy with their civ reads.

Merry Christmas 'yall. I'm here for a few hours and then I'll likely just be lurking from my phone while my relatives are over for the afternoon. My vote's probably going to go to Luffy again.

The extension is very much appreciated; am glad that I won't need to plan out strategic bathroom breaks in order to sneak in a post here and there

This is a link for OUR backwards maker (courtesy of Long Con). It's now Christmas Eve and I have a lot to do, so I probably won't be around a lot this phase. I don't know how I'll be able to catch up and make an informed decision. I'll do my best. Nice to see the Monkey Island fire from nacho thoug...
