To be fair, the alphabet project may constrain language and make things awkward.

Waffling wonderfully with wild wordy weirdos.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Separately: it’s great to play with G-Man. So many old faces. I weep joyfully.

[falcon45ca]

What if I told you that there was a Canucks playoff game last night, and hockey > Maf?

I certainly believe you that hockey > Maf, though I’m not sure hockey prevents falcon from making falcon posts.

I dunno dude, that guy sure loves his Canucks

& similarly, if you think Sloonei's trying to avoid ruffling feathers by just throwing myself & JJJ some town points, what do you make of us alignment-wise?

My gut tells me one of you is Maf, prolly you







I have no real evidence, just a feeling based off your tepid prods that feel more like two old girl friends catching up over a cup of coffee "Oh that's interesting Martha....you don't say, Jane!"







Jay comparing timid falcon to aggressive town falcon feels like genuine scum hunting

Sure, I can work with that

Why be so apprehensive towards JJJ's prod towards you if you think it likely comes from town?

& If I had solely been prodding people, I'd kinda get that, but I'd like to think I've been vocal about my reads on people so far, even if they're light ;;'

But nonetheless, can I grab your thoughts on Lime Coke / G-Man, if any so far?

I did kinda think his second 'x and y are mafia because z' post felt almost comically timed, considering I had mentioned that the first felt lightly townie. So can see your point there.

I dont want to lean into meta too much here, but is that out of the ordinary for G-Man? Not a player I'm familiar with at all so for the most part I attributed it to personality

[Long Con]

Any thoughts so far?

You and Jay have done an adequate job of hoisting this game out of the silent void it was resting in. Enough so to award you each a townie point.

Sloonei's Maf

Waffling on Sloonei is the path to destruction. One must either love him or take him out of the game. There can be no middle path.

Outdated take.

Is this a take you recognize from past G-Man? I found it a tad awkward.

Wait... is Sloonei, like, a big loser now?"

[falcon45ca]

Looking really hard for redemption after the last game because dear god the last one was absolute hell.

And knowing my luck it'll manage to go worse.

I've read your 8 posts, and it doesn't feel like you're looking really hard for redemption after the last game






It feels like you're limping it in

[JaggedJimmyJay]

That's a good question. G-Man hasn't played much in recent years, so it's difficult for me to provide a meaningful answer -- but if I reach far enough into the past I would describe G-Man's personality range as quite broad. He does add a lot of personality to his posting style, and that's his special G-Man charm. I'm not sure, however, that personality is generally the whole of his contribution (as it has been in these few posts). It's quite early anyway, so I'll see how G-Man carries on from here.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Wait... is Sloonei, like, a big loser now?"

Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo big losers that Buffalo buffalo buffalo.

Sloonei is never a big loser, but his playing style has definitely changed a lot in the time since his glorious conquest of champs tournament season 7. He is more grandpa than ever.

[falcon45ca]

We live in a world where both of our current no-posters (Wilgy and Splints) are baddies and planning to low-post coast through Day 1 to establish psychological advantage.

Discuss.

What would the psychological advantage be? The longer they 0 post, the more likely I am to vote them

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Delta has ascended from an "I won't vote for Delta, because in this game environment I cannot afford to vote for Delta" read to an actual town read. Neato.

To be clear: I have no read on Sloonei. I am patient with him though. He generally gets around to the Sloonei things eventually. Or he doesn't.

I do like that Falcon took my post and then went to read both Lime/GMan afterwards, could've just brushed me off and left it at the response he gave me. Feels townie \o/

Agreed

[Epignosis]

Low bar indeed. This is fast resembling Kagemusha. At this pace the standard of “town” becomes “exist on planet Earth”, and any read is only faintly better than guessing.

Please look at that schedule of mine I know you keep next to yours. I know you keep one. I KNOW IT.

My maf? What do you want to know about it?

Fun fact, I actually do own a rabbit, a black New Zealand who's name is Loki





New Zealand rabbits are from California, which is of course what one would expect based off the name

Nothing about that was fun, and none of it was probably factual.

Doesnt have quite the same flair to it as myself/Lime Coke

Though does that not give the opposite of an advantage? ;;'

Wilgy and I baddie-slanked our way to victory in a small game a while back, but I can't recall which one. There was a lot of "OMFG, it was BOTH of the low posters?!?" after the fact.

Discuss.

In the last game I played, I found that there was resistance to the idea of taking out low- or no-posters on day one.

This. In a game this small, it's more dangerous to policy chop a low-poster because the odds quickly stack up against you if you're wrong and have few if any meaningful interactions to ISO off of. If you're willing to live dangerously instead of methodically, and have a winning-be-damned, in-it-for-the-fun-of-playing mindset, then it's easier to commit to. But there's a lot of social pressure to make the 'correct' wrong choices when you err, so the tendency is to shy away from chopping low posters.

The mindset behind it is as follows:


This assumes a chaotic evil approach, in which the baddies don't put a lot of stake in the pride of winning the game either though. So your mileage may vary depending on the proclivities and egos of the baddie players.

I’m a hare bunderwhelmed by G-Man.

Woeful punny bunny shtick from JJJ feels on-the-level for some reason.

What if I told you that there was a Canucks playoff game last night, and hockey > Maf?

I certainly believe you that hockey > Maf, though I’m not sure hockey prevents falcon from making falcon posts.

I dunno dude, that guy sure loves his Canucks

Well, nobody's perfect. But hockey definitely trumps mafia, even it involves cheering for the wrong team.

Fair I guess? it's such an odd approach as a wolf though

& slank at your own peril, I've made worse misvotes I'm not scared of voting 0 posters (mostly)

[Delta]

Just floating around in my mind but I dont think JJJ/Falcon or Long Con/Sloonei are w/w

Feels a little silly making those kinds of reads at this point but if a wolf flips in either pairing I probably wouldnt kill the other.

Mainly just getting that down now so I dont forget them myself ;;'

Good luck getting a definition of my ordinary gameplay (though ordinary is a pretty apt term to use- I am a relic of a former era). Most of my gameplay decisions are based on my RL circumstances and how well I can hide the fact that I'm playing a game of mafia from my wife.

It was glorious, but it's also the kind of thing that you only get away with once in a great while, so you have to put that card back in the deck for a while once you win with it.
