It's not very concise, he repeats himself more than once, and the whole thing is quite verbose. Perfect for a wolf to pretend they're solving.

I apologize if he's not, but I'm pretty sure he's just memeing falcon

like people don't say Cultural Vernacular and mean it, right?

Right???

You over explain.

Master Radishes wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 2:01 pm Now gimme 500 words telling me why that's a bad reason.

Retractions, corrections, and doubling back are not things that I care to engage in. You see, I like to be clear about expressing what I think at any given time, so I am cautious when going through the process if construction a sentence. When writing anything of considerable substance, my proofreading and revision process is quite formidable. Whether it be an original and organic statement, a declaration, an interrogative piece, a response, or even a quick and snappy retort, I want it to convey as close to my exact intention as possible.

This is a difficult thing to accomplish in a situation such as this, given that we are not in each other’s presence to hear the precise intonation of each other’s words and the personality behind them. What we are left with is a suboptimal exchange wherein we impart our own imagined intonations, accents, and diction upon the words of each person playing this game. It is bad enough that we all possess our own individual biases when it comes to phraseology, definitions, and cultural vernacular, but the inability to hear how such words are meant to be conveyed impedes clarity of communication.

If a statement or post of mine over-explains something, it is suggested that I said more than I needed to in that particular moment. But, as I explained above, my process of posting is deliberate, and not just because I hold prescriptivist views on grammar, syntax, and word choice. How then is it possible for me to over-explain something when my proofreading and revising process results in a post that contains every word that I hold to be necessary for proper thought expression so as to not be misunderstood? I think the problem may reside in a difference in definitions of the word ‘over-explain,’ which sets us on the slippery slope of communicative relativism.

Your accusation against me took me by surprise, considering I have a post count that is below both the median and the average for players in this game. How can someone be guilty of posting so little and yet posting ‘too much’ at the same time? I looked back through my ISO, and I disagree with your assessment of my posts. Only one of my posts is lengthy enough due to my own words to occupy more space than what my iPhone screen can display. That was the post in which I provided the group with the correct Day 2 votes, so it is farcical to say that post too much.

Do you maintain that even in my posts of but two or three short paragraphs that I am over-explaining? As stated before, my posts contain every word I intend them to. In fact, since the burden of proof is on the accuser, I challenge you to provide me in-game examples of me over-explaining. Please begin by sharing your definition of the word ‘over-explain’ and all of its derivatives. Once established, we can review the posts that you believe prove me guilty.

I own that I’m coasting on posting. That’s just me. But I’m still observing and I’ve been able to keep abreast of the current goings-on. I’m being guarded with my opinions still because I’m slow to catch onto things in most games, let alone one this size. You can call it excuses, but an excuse can still be the truth.

Right now I see a bunch of hopping around and throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. I wasn’t concerned about it Day 1 because that’s Day 1 standard. It’s Day 3 and we’ve nabbed two baddies. This kind of free-wheeling, low-evidence, party-wagon stuff is more likely to come from a baddie looking to hedge against recent losses by serving up a half-baked case on an easy-ish target. I just have to figure out if the baddie(s) is/are the ones starting it or the ones hopping in when it hits second gear.

Everyone else is mech clear or just sorta obvtown.

If we lynch the G-Unit, we get Maf I bet. At least 1

Grogu and Guillotine look fine imo.

Well then my prediction of at least 1 of the 3 is accurate.


Why do you find the most sus of G-Man?


Why do you think Grogu is fine?

Gman’s night post or first post of the day (the one that was like yay we got scum. I wanna hear why people voted Kyle) felt fake. General coasting. Doesn’t feel like he wants to catch baddies.

Grogu seems cute and said I was good at mafia.

Wait so michelle is town? What makes you think she would hide info only as scum?

Grogu wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 8:05 pm Jack in the box is very aggressive. They seem like a very good player or is just very relax about his role even under some considerable pressure. I think is towny, he’s very carefree and reminds me of me. Sick self plug, but that’s the best to explain it.
Ignore if he’s on Nutella and jaggedjimmies level.

Ps. Nutella might be smothering us with Nutella and will use it as a lubricator. Don’t want to share the details but it is messy. Use your imagination.
Michelle post lack conviction. I am very heart broken that my pain au chocolat might be full of wolf crap instead of chocolate..

Aww

Well Falcons and Marmots are two of my favourite animals. Where I grew up we have our own uninque marmot species that's found nowhere else in the world.

nutella wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 4:00 pm is grogu pretending to be clueless or is he actually clueless

bc that could be a significant difference

if he's mafia he surely has a teammate who has kept track of this stuff

if he's town he may have genuinely missed it

This is the kind of research I'd do if I was his teammate and didn't want to get lynched.

yo you are confbiasing in the wrong direction

try looking at his iso with the pov i'm town, he is just tmiing me

i don't think i'm in any danger of being chopped bc it's just you and marmot who see things that way and i believe i am pretty obv town to people familiar with my recent play

Master Radishes wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 2:10 pm Yeah guys, possible association doesn't mean definite association. Bo is still fairly inexperienced and not a strong wolf. It makes perfect sense for him to slot a super vocal townie as town with no progression.

Like I'm not gonna hard defend nutella really. I'm only half paying attention. But I don't think one scum hedging a green on a vocal townie is enough to sway my read.

KZA wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 2:12 pm You know, Michelle claimed the healing role. One thing the wolves would know is whether or not the poison role made the final cut. Logically if the poison role was cut so would the healing role?

Am I being too spicy?

BK questions dya on whether she sus's Guillo or not. Bad look for Guillo since BK didn't actually weigh in on this at all, was only looking for clarification on whether dya sussed him.

I wasn't exactly thrilled with having to claim, but here we are.


Thoughts on nutella?

She's a blind spot for me. I'm willing to accept that she's town right now, and I also between her and Mac, I think Mac has higher scum equity.

Still catching up, but what are your thoughts there?

If he is mafia he knows that if he claims a town role, there is a living player who has that role and will immediately CC him, so in essence it is impossible for Falcon to claim anything as mafia.

You haven't claimed, yet you expect me to? How is this not blatant role hunting?

I will claim rn

I am THE spider man. Peter Parker. I have -2 votes.

Want to claim now?
