When I play billiards, my elbow doesn't bend the way it should

Same with push ups

I'm cursed

Start doing yoga. You'll train your body to bend in all the ways it should and then in some ways it shouldn't.

Hello friend.

I bet the mafia won't expect that one.

I'm curious if billiards yoga exists.

I do yoga!

I meant my elbows just doesn't bend with the arm. It's a me thing not a flexibility thing

I think

I am pretty bendy

Something about her entrance throwing shade on tutuu fir rolling mafia >finally< rubbed me wrong on reread of the thread. Laying low too. Maybe she'll speak now that she's being spoken to

Oh yeah, I was just trying to make conversation with her. Wasn't sure what else to say.

As for lying low, I'm really sorry about that, I only work well in the full-on game-solve-y part of the game, and I'm not good at the casual conversation part of D1 so I just keep lurking waiting for someone to get us into a place where I have something to work with. I think my short break from the game made me forget how to do D1s and I was never good at it in the first place

Normally what I'd be doing right now is writing up a readlist or rereading the thread or questioning people but there's nothing to work with so I'm just kinda lost here

You could make some stuff up and justify dunya's vote.

Had a pecan tree growing up. I miss it.

As noted earlier, pecan pie needs to be homemade. My grandma's is the best on the planet.

I'm pretty sure I don't shriek.

Not that I knew that when I made the poll, though

Damn, I feel sorry for somebody with three balls and no holes.

Hello friend.

Nobody picked me. I've been lynched on Day 1 exactly once, and that was only because I fell asleep.

The only Jetsons and Flintstones I've watched is the crossover "The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones".

Ok so basically generic pecan pie is pretty much garbage but if you have the good homemade stuff that isn’t just a gelatinous filling with some pecans on top it’s pretty solid. But yeah 98% of pecan pies are pretty bad.

I will make yoy guys my amazing pecan pie with my famous flaky crust and you gotta have it with vanilla ice cream and you'll understand it's so delicious

I mean I love high quality pecan pie, my point was just that it’s one of those things that has to be high quality or it’s pretty bad. Like I’d never eat grocery store pecan pie, but Kroger apple pie (the fancy one with the crumble crust) is acceptable.

I’m blindly TRing PSI and accepting them as town I think

If this was the case, you would have lost by now.

i keep switching between - the way dunya asserted herself and tried to break the ice was towny.

that was my first thought. but then i thought - isnt it a bit too much? perhaps a tad bit theatrical? "Maybe she'll speak now that she's being spoken to " <- this part

then my next thought was - does it make sense to consider that a read, and have i not seen town!dunya talk like that before in mafia? and wasn't the way she accused PSI of laying low (an accusation that i think is clearly false, considering how little everyone is posting) - isn't that towny actually? (her accusation of something that i dont see how can it be possibly be true) - is it not more likely that most mafia people (when they roll mafia) tend to make accusations that seem aggreeable?

so, so far, more arguments for dunya to be town than dunya to be scum, but part of me wants to still keep her at an arm's distance, because i never reevaluate my reads and if i decide shes something im gonna lock it in, and i dont wanna get it wrong. my gut still says something is off

then, my final thought was that i shouldnt trust my gut so much, even tho it has often be right, it has also let me down

ill think on it further / see what more pops up, but as it is right now, if i had to say what' dunya's alignment and the whole game depended on it - i would say shes town, and i believe in 70% of the time i would be right and 30% wrong (this is unaccounted for town to scum rand being different. this is assuming its 50/50. so if by default the town to scum rand chance is 75 to 25 and a null read would be equated to 50 50, my 70 30 read on dunya would be equated to the default % chance to rand town + (70 - 100/2) multiplied by [im not sure if the default chance to rand town or scum. i think its one of the two but im a bit tired to reverse engineer this formula]

dunya is probably mafia here tbh

this is a solid post for me to think epi and nutella aren't w/w, i-

no. misread the post. thought it said "we would have lost already". then i believe its unlikely to be w/w, i havent seen w/w joke like that

maybe it could still be w/w. im still clicking submit because im spewing my genuine thoughts and even if in a vacuum they're useless, they're also not, a townie shouldnt throw away opportunities to express genuinity imo

You could just not lock the read in tutuu.

i dont feel comfortable when things are wishy-washy / in shades of gray, i feel more at comfort when things are classified in extremes, in either end of the spectrum. black or white

[VOTE: dunya] aubergine

That didn't answer the question.

well clearly I want to see who other people want to push because that's especially valuable to pay attention to in this setup and so I didn't want to vote immediately

but there were already a few votes on the board

You could just ask nicely.

ok marmot, who did you and dunya pick

Me of course, I'm an optimal Day 1 chop.

My guess at the mafia duet right now is dunya and nutella.

I think nutella knows damn well dunya isn't going to get lynched Day 1, and that hesitation looks phony. [VOTE: dunya] aubergine

Lol if you think she's my teammate help me bus her by all means.

nutella wrote: ↑Wed Dec 02, 2020 11:24 pm Lol if you think she's my teammate help me bus her by all means.

I just voted for her.

My strategy is to ultimately choose my victim randomly toward the Day phase's end.

And by randomly, I mean I may roll dice or throw a dart at my computer screen. We'll see how drunk I am when the time comes (probably not at all since I shall be at work and likely unavailable).

You say words and I don't understand what they mean.

It's cool. I have accepted my fate in this brave new world.

All right, looks like we're starting to get to the game-solve-y part now, so I guess I'll try and give some hot takes.

As much as I want Tutuu to be scum (I just can't stand when things are unbalanced...she's been town too many times in a row my brain needs to even it out) I think she's probably just town here. Her thinking-aloud posts show a townie hesitation and thought process, wanting to get things right. I could still be wrong here but that's my thinking.

For some reason I want to scumread Epignosis? That's just a gut instinct though and I have a feeling they have the kind of playstyle I just auto-scumread and have to force myself to reevaluate.

I feel like I should have a better read on Dunya but every time I pick a read my mind goes wait no and I'm back to square one. So idk there

Nutella reads slightly scummy but I have no reasoning there

I want to go hmmm at Nanook and Esooa for what seems like purposely avoiding game-related discussion but I can't really blame them when there isn't anything there. They're also just probably the type to do that so meh

Marmot is meh and that's all I've got

This is more of a random-thoughts list than a readlist, and I'm sorry it isn't very helpful. This is the only way I'm going to start solving though so I gotta start somewhere

Anyways, goin' to bed now see you tomorrow

I've been strongly leading a lot of my forum games and it's been really exhausting so kinda hoping to take this one a bit more relaxed but we'll see if I can handle myself not to post 1000 times

nutella you silly goose, do u never learn?

Tutuu wrote an essay about me....

Epignosis wrote: ↑Wed Dec 02, 2020 11:13 pm I think nutella knows damn well dunya isn't going to get lynched Day 1, and that hesitation looks phony. [VOTE: dunya] aubergine

my first thought when i saw this was ohhh i buy it. yep. i see why he did that.

but now at reread it's not like that.

if me and nutella are teammates, the hesitation isn't just phony, she's prevoted for who to eliminate this day phase and im pretty sure it isn't me. (even if nutella is actually wolf here, she's not voting me to be the d1 lynch for sure). why would she phony it in with me?

like, i think epignosis should conclude more from that nutella being w than dunya and nutella being w/w. it's very a strange progression. the words make sense, but just not entirely in this game setup.

i dunno if this is some magical distancing strategy from nutella and epi, but wolf epi would have a better reading of the game setup i think so im leaning town there now.

and im not bothered about town epi, cos he is an asset to town and will be able to see town dunya eventually.

i did mind gymnastics to get here. that's a weak ass read dunya, im disappoint.

why *should* you have a better read on me?

our day 0 strategy was to avoid game related discussion to not give mafia ideas on who to vote for. it was a sound strategy. 10/10 would do again.

interesting that psinightmare's two picks for elimination are epignosis and nutella.
