1. How did you feel about playing in a game with a posting limit like this?

2. Did you feel 45 posts was a decent limit, or would you make it more/less restrictive?

3. If [Light Game] became a unique game type, could you see yourself signing up for those games consistently?

I like Light games but MU’s software enforcing post count limits and showing total posts with one click (as opposed to 2 clicks and some math if you’ve memorized how many posts you had last day phase and several more if you haven’t here) helps a lot.

I don’t have a good solution to that.

I also like that MU lifts the post restriction an hour from EOD so at least at that time, there’s no worrying about going over the limit.

He feels pretty townie and I have a lot of other scumreads.

Jack and Nova team compatible?

I find it weirder that everyone thinks the dude is civ when there is zero evidence to suggest this.

Dom wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 7:39 am Dude-- you're posting at 3AM and asking why people aren't responding and it's quite sad. : (


And you don't think it's willfully naive to delude yourself to say that all the baddies are non-voters? Come on.

he'd ask us to lynch anyone who looked like this, no?

I don't know about that, I don't believe I can fully predict the chaos of Mac.

However, that's a dismal ISO. Not that I'm one to talk.

RIP Epi thanks for always encouraging me to come back

The only thing that was making me think mac was because I remember him saying before that he believes epi is good at figuring out when he's bad. So he'd have motive to kill him off.
I am wondering though if it's worth looking at the fact that rej and juliets both voted together for both of the mislynches.
I was wrong about creature but he just didn't seem his usual self and didnt seem to be doing anything to defend himself or find an alternative to him getting votes until the very end and then wasn't voting.
Welcome back Tony 2.0
I also was wondering what's up with jack this game and why he hasnt been around as much.

Also for vote tracking purposes, you really should announce your votes in the thread.

There was a train on me, also people started to suspect him and vote him up, so it was just the best option to make the wagon on me look smaller and go alongside with the townformed people

Creature wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 6:28 pm Hehe I don't think I need to put much stock on the posting limit now atleast

Huh I think Tony is not doing so good as last game where he was scum, so I don't think he's scum here

Nova, this seems a little out of the blue. What has convinced you all of a sudden that Tony is bad? I'm having a hard time reading him, I don't think I've played with him before.

For me, Tony is a highly analytical person, and what I'm seeing isn't very analytical. It isn't very anything, except unhelpful. He called Rej "bait" but didn't say why.

TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 12:28 am Okay caught up but I didn’t really comprehend any of what was going on. Tunneling maybe on Epi if only because I don’t think post counts will actually matter much (45 perhaps a bit high a limit, enough to make the game more accessible but not functionally stifling discussion). Drago is town. Rej is bait. I have no idea on Nova. Oreki is earnest which is gonna be Town from me. I like LC to stay around because he produces good content and I can read him well enough. Sabie isn’t getting lynched on my watch this time. I’ll reread Quin but I’m not buying that case. That leaves Creature. Hey crocodile man, how’s it going? How’s life? I appreciate that you signed up for this game even knowing it might stifle your style. Not gonna clear ya.

Was there even a Quin case? How does this leave Creature? What about Mac? birdwithJack? juliets?

This post just looks like busywork to me.

I don't think having voted yet looks particularly good or bad.

Like I said, all the voters have been trying to game solve and thus look good in my eyes, so by process of elimination, it makes the baddies in the non voters.

....that is willfully naive.

Dragomir wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 2:18 pm @juliets What's your take of the Oreki vs Nova thing that occured earlier? As well as your take on the suspicion regarding me. Do you agree? Disagree? Who are you siding with?

Same questions to you @sabie12 @Dom @Epignosis

I have no idea what happened there and you all confuse me.

Dragomir wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 11:17 am I find all these little votes to be a bit unpleasing. The most vote a player has right now is 2, everybody else has 1 or 0.

All these voters are ppl that have tried and are continuing to game solve. Long Con, Nova, Quin, Epi, Dom, Tony and me. We all have posted reads and at least trued a bit harder when it came to game solving(Oreki has too but he just hasn't voted yet).

All you non-voters, except Oreki, are looking mighty bad in my eyes, I'm pretty incline to believe that 2/3 scum if not all of them are a part of the non-voters.

@juliets gimme one player who you think is sus ti you and why. @Oreki is Rej the only suspicious player for you?

Don't worry man I liked your first posts! Quite townish, and I agree that me vs Drago was looking like we were scumbuddies that tried out shit.
So you think Drago and Novas is V/W? While Drago was giving the impressions me and novas could be W/W.
With your assumption it could be taken as far as me, novas and Drago being W/W/W.
I doubt that the interactions between us were AI. How can I ensure you, me being town?


@novaselinenever The least thing I would do, would be buddying up with you



Hello Mac and Creature btw
@Creature had some reads in mind? I would like to read those!

hated that

I don’t think clumsy wording is ever a good tell. Of all the things I dislike in the post that’s the least of them. More problematic is trying to form groups so early on but that could just be a style thing

I'd beg to differ on the clumsy wording thing. I've seen Rej make a slip as mafia from bad wording. While sure he could learn from his mistakes and be more mindful of his he posts, I won't throw history repeating itself out the window.

Not to mention, what he said was just pretty bad and made no sense from a civilian pov.

Creature wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 7:02 pm Yeh, I tried skim reading all posts but I can't pinpoint any particular townread besides novaselina.

I think I'll just sheep what others say because they should know each other better than I do.

I'll mostly be selective on who to trust so I'll take less responsibility for the loss if it happens.

First: can someone talk me through Dragomir and/or Rej? Rej looks lynchbait particularly.

Drago is bad.

Hahahahahahahaha!

This post tbh is pretty funny.

How about this one?

[VOTE: Dragomir] aubergine

Hilarious.

This is even funnier!

Neither of your posts does anything here besides discredit suspicion with humour.

Underwhelmed if nova is a neutral read. Even more underwhelmed if you left him out of his asking you for reads on everyone who posted, which would include him.

Drago and nova not w/w. [VOTE: Drago] aubergine

What do you want those posts to do Quin? Its like you're saying that there's another way to defend against it so enlighten me.

How is underwhelming and why does it matter? Like, what am I supposed to do if my reads on him and others are neutral? You guys want me to start pulling out reads out of my ass or what?

TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2019 9:45 pm Epi voted for me though so I've got that going for me

You are burning posts. None of these three posts accomplish anything except to use three of your 45 available posts. You aren't limiting yourself. You are bad.

I like Epignosis' analysis here. While I probably won't make 45 posts in a phase (probs jinxing myself here), I think wasteful posts are always -worthy, but in a game like this, especially so. Not only do I like the content of the post, but it makes me feel good about Epi on a gut level. That's new.

This post is bad. I don't like it. I can't really explain it. It's like he's trying too hard to simply agree with Epi. It gives off a vibe of treading with caution as to appear as good as possible as to not say anything bad. The emote at the end further reinforces this read.

Tony you're bad.
