If that's your reasoning, why not vote for Poison Chan, not me for playing how I always do.

He's so indecisive. That's wolf in my books.

I think his exhaustion is more likely due to rolling mafia than anything else. He says he's not as interested and doesn't know why he signed up, which in my experience is more of a wolf tell than a town one.

He also threw his vote away one someone I'm not sure has posted.

MR is locktown by the way. Seal it.

Nanook, DDL, Long Con, DrWigly, and Tony are who I'd most like to lynch at the moment.

I'm moderating a new subreddit and so might not be as active as I was at the beginning of the game, but I'm reading everything. I'll make more time later.

What I mean by pulling an Eva is complimenting me by saying I'm a tricky player in an attempt to pocket me. :P Even though you also said that you townread me and nutella based on page 1.

I just thought you were both straight-away towny.

I usually have one or two page-1 town-reads.

nutella wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 8:52 pm I didn't think it necessarily had to do with being caught? I've seen it used as an after the fact thing, as in when someone flips wolf you go back to see what they said about certain players in case they inadvertently "reveal" whether someone is aligned or antialigned with them. That's how I understand spew anyway

Ehh, not my exact understanding of it. Spewing happens when a wolf is still alive according to how I use the term.

I think spew is more often helpful in backtracking to where someone changed course in their views to later out them than in trying to find teammates based on what they said or didn't say.

When someone is wolfing and is worried that they're caught (or has been caught) and starts throwing out information.

Presumably bad information?
So if someone is spewing themself and X as w/w does that mean they’re pretending they’re w/w with X or they’re avoiding that impression?

It could go either way. One has to read between the lines. I agree with Nanook in that it's not often helpful, though- only here and there.

NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 8:43 pm Spew is one of those things that Serious Mafia Players talk about as if it’s meaningful.

It isn’t.

Woah I'm going to have to get serious and maybe disagree with you here. It has its time and place.

juliets wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 8:33 pm While we're at it, can someone also define anti-spew?

Anti spew is when someone is wolfing and is likewise worried that they're caught so shuts up and thereby demonstrates themselves wolf more, protecting their teammates and team's place in the game by not stating more.

I do remember from the wildcard game that you were trying to reconcile Eva and I, but I don't recall more particulars than finding it hysterical fmpov.

Hyena is a tricky player but I think is deserving of the benefit of the doubt at least until LyLo (or later this round, your call).

Are you trying to pull an Evenstar here? :P

You seem oddly concerned about an LC lynch.

Agreed! I realize that DDL has only posted once, but do you have any sort of assessment of them at the moment?

So how does voting work, is more votes a good thing? Do they make me president?

I wrote a tutorial for you.

Hyena's Voting Tutorial
Step #1: Go to Full Editor & Preview
Step #2: Click the Vote Button
Step #3: In between the vote brackets, include the name LONG CON.
Step #4: Click on Submit
Step #5: Vote for LONG CON in the poll
Step #6: You become president, and your rival candidate, Long Con, gets shot off to the moon in a rocket.

Hello, Hyena!

I can dig this; I demand vengeance for that N1 kill.

Not sure what you mean by pulling an evenstar. The 'your call' was addressed to everyone if that's the issue in contention.

Con is a dish sometimes served short.

that said, I'm skimming posts and might be reading tone into his words that isn't actually there

'I read my post the way I intended it to be read' seemed sort of abrasive at first, but I could be mistaken

The 'WTF is stilted?' was a tad more objectively rude

I haven't seen enough from Tony to make any assessment about him. The last game I played with him I didn't read him as town until late into the game. I have not been intentionally staying outside the ongoing talk, I was making the ISO links so we can more easily find people's posts.

Thanks for doing the ISOs.

Re: underlined: is he one of those players who appears very scummy even when town? Hyena was like that at first for me but I find him a little easier to read now that I've been involved in a few contests with him.

My attitude for this game in musical form (get ready, scum ):

[mention]juliets[/mention] - anything to say on the Tony front? You're online and made a recent post but are staying somewhat outside of the ongoing talk here.

I think it's more tonal impurity that I see in Tony so far than anything concerning his attitudes toward the game.

Although upon a second read I do agree that 'spreading the love' is an odd attitude. It seems like an easy way to get a vote down and spread the votes into something anti-town more than spreading it into something pro-town if you catch my drift.

[VOTE: TonyStarkPrime] aubergine

I do agree that these posts are suspicious; I just decided to put emphasis on the word attitudes because it was not like the criticism I would have given Tony for the set of postings.

In fairness to MR, I know he's playing (opposite me) a lot of games simultaneously lately, so that might affect how he's playing. And he's right that this is a different environment than we typically meet in. But I think his early posts were lackluster and that he said some things he's not able to back up well: read- attitudes in Tony's posts.

On CDC, sure. But you did the same thing in Inception. I may have been 3P but was very much not mafia and was, in fact, townsiding hard early on.

So I was right in Inception and you're using that to say I don't read you well?

I'll let you get your game on and won't keep you tied down in discourse with me, but I have my on you.

In fact, I suspect you're not overly familiar with anyone else except to some extent Hyena and Nutella. So I wasn't surprised that you zeroed in on me (/us) immediately and ignored other players.

What if I'm not actually suspecting you, am mafia, and just FoSed you in order to score townpoints? You're just assuming I'm town, which is exactly what I want in the proverbial world where I'm scum.

My one concern about nute is how she goes back and forth between M-Plus being wolf; is it genuine, or is she mimicking townthought through her back-and-forth on him? I'm inclined to say she's town, but it's good to get something down here.

Next time wash your hands before posting.

Having played for years with MR, I don't like his entrance and think he's a very good potential option for scum at this early stage of the coronavirus.

Hyena + Nute town for page 1.
