Nanook should teach JJJ how poll times work.

Alison owning a tarot deck might be the biggest surprised of 2021 thus far.

I will face these challenging times with great respect.

BK come back here and explain yourself.

Punish the Fool?

In other news, this appears to not be the long-awaited game where I see a scum seanzie. I'm ok with this.

So you think that two mafia members decided to have a go at each other and failed miserably?

It’s a possible, remember my last scum game with Tony?

I do very much remember, but that doesn't make it a common nor easy occurrence.

It also doesn’t mean it should be ruled out.
It should be considered NAI.
Simple as that!

I disagree, to some extent.
My point is that it is something that rarely happens, thus I'm willing to accept for now that it's not what's happening here, because statistically, it's a safe assumption.
Yes it can happen, it just probably wouldn't.


Also, technically anything that is said in a mafia game could have been said as either alignment, but it's not all NAI.

Alison should be turbo'd for not putting all her tarot pictures in spoilers and thus diluting our precious game thread real estate.

Either this guy has problems typing what they say or they are just not being genuine here.
Because this legit looks like it was a thrown together response with no heart given into it.
While I understand what is being said and know a town can think like this, I just can’t comprehend why they wrote it like this.

I believe English is not Samu's primary language.

Lions' fans need all the help they can get.

@Gavial could you like a recent town game from you? I have no meta on that front.

EBWOP: could you link a recent town game

Maybe it's a culture thing? I generally expect wolves to have very basic interactions with each other, not major disagreements

Don't ask me why, because I don't feel like giving them

How about when?

Gavial wrote: ↑Sat Apr 10, 2021 3:33 pm @Marmot
I hope you can see now that this Falcon/Samu interaction is irrelevant as they can both easily be W/W as Urist said.
So consider it as if it never happened please so you don’t get end game manipulated.

I'm not reading deeply into it. It's an early Day 1 interaction in a game of mafia.

@Gavial I would still like a link to a town game from you.

Pretty sure he's posted it. Just look through his iso

I did and didn't see one, I didn't check his full ISO though, just his posts after the first time I asked.

If you (or someone else) knows where it is, I'd appreciate you just pointing me to it.

TY Urist

Just gonna post some townreads for now while I'm catching up. I don't have any confident scumreads yet.

Strong town reads:

BK - This is nothing like his recent scum games.
Samu - his testing of falcon looked fine, it got the game rolling. He moved on from it too. He's interacting with people. I like his presence

Light town reads

Gavial - Taking up a lot of threadspace, but as-so-far, I find him less manipulative than I recall in Fallout. This is not a comprehensive read
Urist - Soul read
Seanzie - I'd like to see him enter the fray more, but his content, observations, and questions are similar to what I'd expect from him.
Omega - Similar to sean, I'd like to see her dig in more. That aside, she has more energy than she did as scum in Fallout Mafia, but her lack of energy there might not have been based solely on rolling mafia. Just a slight town lean here
TSP - Soul read


All other players I don't have reads on yet, so they are in a sense my poe.

Is this directed at anyone in particular or do you just kinda think everyone who isn't you is shite?

I can't speak for DoO, but I assume it's the latter.
I do think that's more of a townie mindset for her though. I don't disagree with the points you're making about her *in general*, but I don't think they apply to DoO.

tbh I want to wolf read her for it. mostly b/c I've done what she's doing as wolf, and I've had it done to me. It's kinda effective b/c as long as you're not crossing the line from "annoyed and responding with snark and sarcasm" into "actually insulting people" it gets people who sus you to back off.

Outside of her interactions with me/Gavial what's your take on DoO? I know my read on her is currently clouded by my recent interactions.

I think I've answered this but lmk. Hoping we can get on the same page this game and not have a repeat of mtg.
Do you still think Gharial is scum?

nah, I don't think he's scum.

What do you think of Marmot?

I keep forgetting marmot is in the game which kinda feels townish?

I worked a 12 hour day yesterday, that's probably why no one noticed me.

I am curious why this is your reaction. I was town in MtG mafia and was quite easily the highest poster until I died.

Esooa wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 2:01 pm how do you have two soul reads in "light town"

Because they're not tangible reads.

I know Alison is quiet for other reasons this game. That said, I don't like that she started the game off with tarot/alignment readings but didn't do anything with them.

A large majority of her reads so far have revolved around calling Samu town.

I can change that, what sorts of things do you find wolfy?

Care to elaborate?

I found his approach to Samu's & I the most opphrtunistic

I'm taking sean out of my townreads. I was just reading through those posts again and I agree with this.

He didn't have a lot of conviction and I think it's because he was looking for an easy way to back out of the read.

@Esooa why are you self-voting and how did I miss that?

because I lied when I said I will proceed to not vote myself

all you need now is some ate and you can complete the trifecta of bad! Also I'm voting you now

I already said this game sucks

idk how it went over both yours and marmots head

It went over my head, I don't really care. I'm not great at picking up on jokes like that. What's currently the issue with it?

That said... I didn't think hk was being serious about his vote for me, nor do I think he's being serious about his vote for you esooa (unless he previously had reason to suspect you)

Live bluegrass is great (sometimes)

Recorded bluegrass loses its main appeal, the live part.

Anyways, I'm cold

To anyone who townreads Alison, why do you townread Alison?

Interesting progression

Yup, what do u think of that?

I don't think you believe it

I dont "believe" what?

I don't think you believe I'm scum.

I don't like Falcon's responses to a clearly non-serious vote.

I agree Falcon is in his scum range this game. You can feel the tension.

Before you do, I want you to think about your read on Falcon and then share it with the class.

last I've seen falcon is in his scum range

I'm taking BK out of my townpile too. My previous read was based on his early play, but going through his iso, the dude has 55 posts and his reads are kinda basic, and few and far between.

If you read their posts you would find out.
Now 2 people who don’t answer questions are DOOM and Alison so you should give them some.

This was a question for esooa. She did not answer the question.

Where in her iso does it say, "This person is my top scumread."?


What question did Alison not answer?

I'm around if people want to chat. We only have 2.5 hours left in the day, so it'd be nice to congregate the votes a little bit.

reads please. Thoughts on Gavial and Falcon.

I think falcon's reaction to Samu's early vote wasn't nearly as bad as people made it out to be.

I dunno about Gavial. His thread presence is a little overwhelming. There are times where I've found it to be townie, but I had a recent moment where I felt he was trying to distract me from asking esooa questions, and point me at other players.
