No Mafia + Drive.

I didn't speak about their relationship. I did ask falcon to provide a read on Tony. That was mostly intended for resolving "this thread is dead, so ask someone a question, any question, get posts in here immediately". You may have interpreted subtext.

I remember the days where I was hot grits, texting and mafiaing at red lights or in long, straight stretches of highway. I quit that a while ago.

Now I started watching YouTube videos or trying to find the right podcasts when driving and I’ve had some close calls. One time I drifted too close to a guy on the Golden Gate Bridge, which- if you’ve ever driven it, you know those lanes are extremely narrow. Almost sideswiped him. Needless to say, I had to yell at myself to set some guidelines. I’ll never do it again.

Being an adult is hard. Don’t play and drive, kids.

Let it be known that although I don’t think JJJ is a good D1 pick right now, I don’t exactly town read him- he’s like an Arnica gel. Could be effective, if you just believe hard enough.

Parse that, detectives.

I looked at Simon’s iso. It’s extremely lacking, filled with real zingers like ‘I can’t vote’ and ‘oh Nevermind’

HOWEVER there’s something that doesn’t give off bad ninja vibes. It’s not a try-hard effort that I would associate with someone that is trying to keep up appearances.

I’d even go so far as to town read him

No, I know exactly what I did.

During my skim I mentally merged your discussion on Epi/Tony with your ask of Falc on Tony. I rescind my commentary on how it'd affect the dichotomy.

I can understand in the most basic sense "these posts may appear bad, but they're actually not", but your wording is extreme in both directions. Are the other players that haven't put on a "trying hard" face also town reads? LoRab? Sophia Abigail? Princess Abigail? Half the roster? Why is Simon town?

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2024 4:59 pm**

I'm split, the one half of me that knows Simon says the way he is playing tells me he's town. But then again I wouldn't put it past him if he were just putting up a good act.

How is Simon playing? Can you articulate your read a bit more...what do you find towny about his play?

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2024 5:06 pm**

I guess I would say he would only respond when he is talked to directly, only say something if it's necessary similarly to how he is playing now. But I have never played a Mafia game with him before so I'm just going off of his personality

While I respect that it may be difficult to see on the surface, I am comfortable with this read. motobot looks nothing like he did in the Don't Starve game, and I believe there is an authentic process at work in his approach to the game. I understand where he is coming from and what he is doing.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2024 5:14 pm**

If JJJ isn't town they're doing great because I completely believe JJJ is town now.

No, Epi saying Moto is unlikely W is more than enough for them to be placed on a 'sort later' list.

I only noticed that you didn't post much in Pyre (similar to Don't Starve), and that was true. You were a civilian in Pyre, so I know that "being quiet" doesn't necessarily mean you have evil intentions.

I don't have any real suspicion of you right now.

He came in quick, knowing he was voted. Snap voted you, then went to bed

And now that you don't suspect him and TR him, he's gonna give you a top TR as well

He's given a 50/50 read on Simon, prolly the least controversial read of all time

How different was his Maf game? Cuz this all seems pretty surface level stuff that I'd imagine many and most players could perform as any faction

Epi is within an acceptable range. Would not put them to be trimmed currently given how wide the PoE is.

What's your fav wolfy post by the Princess?

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2024 5:54 pm**

Ok I’m gonna say it — feels likely that Moto has BTSC as far as I can tell. Yes I’m aware that outing this information could be seen as anti-town and that anyone choosing to act on it in thread may reveal more information than is prudent to reveal. Yes I’m aware that at a level 1 reading this phrasing would be an implication that I do not have BTSC with Moto and thus would reveal percentage points of valuable information. I don’t care, I’m better than that.

Not about posts. I was concerned about the fact that it’s possible that she did not have time to claim and was not going to be around.

I’m sorry you’re confused. But like…I mean what I said?

I’m perhaps being selective as I’m looking at people as I look at them. Comparing Simon to Lorab is a bit different with content, as one as literally checked in, and one has had a full seemingly conversation. I just happen to find Simon’s 4 posts towny in his lack of effort.

Abbi is a weird case where I feel like my expectation is being sated.
