Wow, I hadn't realized this, how sad. They should have added a Steel one or something.

please elaborate

also may i ask, did you do this because you weren't expecting anyone else to progress the game this way?
I liked Tony's IC claim/fakeclaim. And nah, I think someone would've did something to progress the game eventually. I just figured I'd create some banter in between Pokemon posts. The Hally read is half-serious though.
Why did you like it?
I lied. I actually have no feelings about Tony's IC claim. I was just posting words to see how Mist and others reacted to it.
What were you hoping to gain exactly?
When I do things like this, I don't really go in with the goal of obtaining anything specific. Seeing how people react to things helps me get into their head, which helps me guess their motivations in the game. :3 Basically, I'm just trying to see how people tick so that I can later place myself in their shoes and see the game from their perspective.

Got it. Did you gain any of that here?

Cool, we both relate very strongly to Poison. Though, sneaky to me can also mean manipulative, which I certainly can be when playing mafia.

I actually had a similar thought with these; if I had to pick I'd say Hyena looked a bit stilted and Mist seemed solvy.
oh neat. so what do you think of hyena now saying his push on me was for reactions?
I'm not sure, what do you think?
well that explanation at least fits with me feeling like he wasn’t being natural at the start, but i’m not sure i buy that he isn’t just backtracking because i called him out. idk i’m just gonna wait and see what he does now that the gig is up

That's totally fair, I'm somewhere similar. The actions don't make a ton of sense to me, but I'm trying to remember how Hyena plays when town... and this seems similar enough that it gives me some pause.

Poison buddies! I guess you're right, that's what I was thinking too, although of course only if I'm wolfing in mafia. In other tabletop games that are competitive then anything's possible hehe.

That's a really cool observation. I typed as INTJ for a lot of my life but I also was actively emotionally repressed, so INFJ is certainly the one I identify with strongly anymore, although lol personality tests (should be taken with a grain of salt), but hey they're fun and they can be a really effective launching pad for self-meta and discovery.

Hey Alison, not sure if anyone else helped you with this yet, but you have to delete a poll and submit that when you edit your post when you're hosting, and then create a new one for the time to update.

somehow force to be relevant to the game

tag yourself, and give a bit of explanation into how that carries over into mafia!

i'll start, i'm grass, i'm consistently hard on myself over how i play but i don't get frustrated with others easily

Let's see... okay, this is way too fun. If I had to rate how much these resonate with me on a 7-point scale (not at all, very slight, slight, moderate, strong, very strong, absolutely)

Fire - very strong - with the life of the party type being the only one where I'm sort of like ehhh but that's actually true when I'm in the right element for sure
Normal - slight
Fighting - very slight
Water - not at all
Flying - not at all
Grass - moderate - resonant with combination of cries a lot, easily amused, comforting depending on the context
Poison - very strong - CHAOTIC GOOD, honestly sneaky is the only one I don't relate to too much although I try to be in some games I guess
Electric - slight
Ground - slight
Psychic - not at all
Rock - strong - "into some weird music" lol, other ones definitely resonant except the tough time showing how they care part, I tend to not have an issue with that especially when it comes to people I'm close to
Bug - not at all
Ice - not at all
Ghost - very slight
Dragon - strong - I am definitely a quadruple texter when I actually text, I do ramble, I can like to take charge a lot actually but only in specific situations, and do people find me intimidating? maybe? but I am totally a big dork
Dark - very slight
Fairy - slight
Steel - moderate - obscure hobbies, I guess other people look at me and think I'm well-rounded and/or admire me, and I do have Strong Emotions and for a lot of my life I repressed them and did not express them to people but trying not to do that anymore

I guess as for how that combination as explained above plays into mafia: I can and will change my mind on a dime, I will passionately argue for or against someone if I really believe it, even though I try to stay level-headed I will get emotional, I will try to cheerlead others, I will ramble (lol) and, I will probably spend way more words than I need to in order to get into someone's head but it's really important to me that I do.

Okay, so Fire and Poison being my strongest means I really am Salazzle. Who wants some of this? Hehe.

Hally wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 6:45 pm oh ig i identify with pansexual too. idk i’ve heard ppl say bi and pan are actually the same because bi means attraction to two or more genders, not just the two binary genders. but then other ppl think pan should be it’s own thing. so ig im bi or pan depending on which definition for bi one uses

That makes sense. Yeah, it really depends on an individual level I think. Conceptually it’s splitting hairs perhaps.

Espeon is the best Eeveelution and that's all I probably have to contribute to all the Pokemon discussion I missed.

Good to be playing with you again. I guess I have very minor experience with you, cayvie, Scirrus, and a bit more with Hyena maybe?

I haven’t played with sabie in years.

Looks like that means I have the most experience with TSP. We have played maybe 5-10 games together overall or something? I’m not sure.

Hi, Hally! Cool. Well that's my MO, so I guess that'll happen regardless, but I still appreciate the sentiment, hehe.

Ugh conferences woat

cayvie wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 12:26 pm has anyone here ever played flipless before? any tips

So for a while on Lostpedia and then here when the site was younger, we often played with flipless *nights*, and since games were multiball, you often didn't know for sure whether a townie or mafia from the other team was killed at night, even if it seemed likely that it was the former.

That's obviously not flipless, and I'm not sure what I really learned from that other than not taking NK information for granted. I have no idea how to approach yeets. I would guess (at least for me) behavioral reads still reign supreme though, just with no firm future information gained as the game progresses.

I'm here! I have a virtual conference all afternoon so I imagine I can multitask catching up during that time.

Yay! I’m really happy to be playing this with you all.
