Severance [Workday Four]

[Alexy]

Hi Alexa, we’ve never played before I don’t think.

What is your favorite part about working here? Are you

I'm guessing you mean me and I'm guessing the lack of sentence finishing is a game mechanic

[Jackofhearts2005]

My read accuracy and winrate is quite low on the Syndicate, I'm afraid that there is just a big vibe mismatch. I struggle to understand a lot of people and a lot of people struggle to understand me.

Your verity of exasperation is striking me as, perhaps, forced this game. Is that fair of me? It’s like you want us to underestimate your gameplay so you can muddle to the end.

I believe in you- if you

This feels correct.

[Lime Coke]

Town:
Tutuu
Scotty


Townlean:
LC
Cape
Delta

Why are Tutuu and LC in the townpiles?

Tutuu, very towny energy and liked her solving thus far.

LC has kinda felt the same as how he was in the flipless game I played with him about a month ago.

Granted the LC read is way looser in comparison. Tutuu is my top townread.

Scotty is just screwing around. Nobody is forcing him to do that.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Long Con feels townier than what I remember in Beans Mafia which is a good start \o/

I don't accept this. [VOTE: delta] aubergine

Scotty bad, Delta bad.

what?

Classic old person doesnt understand emoji communication smh

Julieeeeeeeeets.

[Jackofhearts2005]

I struggle reading anyone older than me.

I don't have this problem. Anyone older than me is a wolf.

How old are

Nice try.

[Jackofhearts2005]

From my half-hearted skimming of the thread it looks like a lot of the content thus far is based on meta, which is useless to me. So I hereby declare all of that poopoo and shan't be bothering.

Do you have any reads in general that aren't requiring meta?

Aside from what I've stated, not really. I'm intrigued by nutella voting me.

"Intrigued" lol

So intriguing. Weird, even.

[Jackofhearts2005]

I'm trying out a new kind of read list. I think this diagram is going to help me understand every connection between the players and eventually solve the game. Prepare for genius

Spoiler: show

.....eventually

I townread Nutella but I'm super on board with this and would probably pretend to townread Nutella if she was a wagon just to see where this bit goes.

[Jackofhearts2005]

That nutella image readslist is really towny

Seriously though.

[Delta]

@Long Con why'd you go send me to read a town game ?_? I thought I was about to be hit with some massive shift in meta or something that debunked my post ;_;

My theory does kinda work even reading that game because while you were kinda avoidant of giving reads & instead just joked around in Beans, in Guitar you were fine engaging with the playerlist & getting some reads on the board even while just enjoying usual conversation

[Jackofhearts2005]

Has anybody seen Scotty mafia? And Cape mafia? And Jack mafia? I've seen none of those. Any chance they have tells that they haven't been able to overcome?

ive seen cape scum, he has a few tells ive been waiting to see if he hits before i go full send on him lol

and yet you vote me later on without me even saying anything and yet you talk about "wanting to see more from me before you full send" and then you full sent

ur playing pretty strangely rn

Sent? Like in Final Fantasy X? What are you talking about?

[Alexy]

a little pinged by lime cokes opening, i think he leans into copypasta and meme openers more as wolf. still early though and if hes town im sure ill find him at some point this game

didnt like capes opener either but cant really pinpoint why other than it felt a little awkward to me

delta leaning town on everyone might be slightly towny, wolves tend to be slightly more pressured to find something to scumread or shade in their openers

is this what you mean by a copypasta/meme opener? how do you feel now? I am still on page 2 fwiw

Akasuki gained stop.

Nipple man lost stop.

It's wild to think.

[Scotty]

Hi Alexa, we’ve never played before I don’t think.

Oops yes sorry I misread your name. Have we played together? I might have played with an Alexa before.

As for how I talk, well

[Alexy]

If I were to design this game, I would make each pair share the same slot, role and alignment, and try to balance the game around town having double chop every day (most of the time) and mafia having double night kill every night (most of the time).

Jay was very insistent and hopeful on having a large amount of players, which would be needed to make something like this possible.

I guess this would make sense - I don't know how large nor how long games on here tend to be, but if the game never reached parity or whatever wincon and didn't have any additional kills, at 4 deaths per cycle the game would go for 7 cycles. assuming parity is reached sooner, perhaps 4-5 cycles? just trying to reason through how that many deaths per cycle would make sense, and I think it does (?)

[Scotty]

Shoot, someone (ilario??) questioned me earlier when I suggested that Tutuu’s verbosity striking me as odd, asking me something like ‘have you never played with tutuu?’

I mean yes, I’ve danced, I’ve played, I’ve uwu’d across the floor with tutuu, though i don’t recall the layers of self reflective wordage displayed in this game as previous ones. It stands

[Alexy]

The other thread probably has 10 pages of spammy nonsense by now. I would like to think that we are the more intelligent group. Perhaps Jay divided us by intelligence. We are the scientists, and the other group are the primates.

is there no function to react to posts on this forum?

I suspect there’s going to be some switcheroos tomorrow. If I had my druthers, I’d expect a good percentage (or all) of those that survive this cycle to completely switch threads, and go to the ‘leisure’ side, and a good chunk (or all) over there will come here and we’ll each read back what everyone has said thus far.

Some of us might stay behind (to work overtime or what have you) so we have some form of overlap so we’re not just forever playing a small ball within a game and never interacting with the other side in a live capacity.

Sounds trippy.

To be seen as to whether

Hello
I don't think I've played with... most of you before.

sup, im guessing you know alexy they seem to be from sdn? what can you tell us about them

can't wait to read the response you got from this lol

but yes I am from from SDN

No, unfortunately . I have to go find a gif, upload it myself and bbcode link every time I want to post one of these:

You have to manually crop it down to the required pixel ratio. If you have like preview or some sort of app for your comp, you can do it pretty fast. Though it is annoying that they don’t automate

tutuu - 47 posts
Scotty - 55 posts

My 2 biggest wolf reads are: tutuu + nutella

LC town, Nutella Null, Tutuu W.

Ezpzlemomsqueezy

Kinda agree with this, especially Tutuu.

Hmm. It's too unwieldy for someone to be town and have a wolf flipside partner. If someone's a wolf here, then they're a wolf over there.

If it's one Wolf team, then maybe it's 3 on each side. 3 out of 14 player, that's reasonable, right? And maybe they can't communicate, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

3 wolf in this half seems logical.

wolves tend to be slightly more pressured to find something to scumread or shade in their openers

Agree, that's why tutuu PINGS.

Hey, y'all. Ready to punch in and clock in to work here at Lumon Industries as one of your severed worker. :P I do not think I've played with any of you here before, so I can't be much help in determining who's town or werewolves from one post alone.... I will be keeping an eye though.

Finally, someone willing to put in the work

We need an extra ream of copy paper for the

Love u already, Scotty. Assuming your "severed" posts are part of role restriction.... ?

anyway, let's find some fucking wolves shall we?

Yay!!

and get a new avatar

Why? I like yours. It's sexy.

@DarlingMonroe

hihi o/ you mentioned not being too sure on your reads on first glance, but where's your head at right now, if you do have anything \o/ doesnt have to be much, can just be vibes

Biggest town vibes: Jack of Hearts, ilario, Scotty

Fuck it. I can't find a new avatar I like.

Yours is perfect.

Townleans on Wilgy and Delta.

Wilgy, yes. Delta, maybe.

I'm afraid that there is just a big vibe mismatch. I struggle to understand a lot of people and a lot of people struggle to understand me.

psv is suddenly feeling like the most lackluster shrugyeet mischop of a d1 vote to me

still want more effort/investment from her though

@Alexy @DarlingMonroe @Porscha @DrWilgy you too come give us something to read you on

yessss, just did.

Also I gave my opinion on one of your posts and later I voted you. Calling that particular investment isn't right

Which I found lazy tbh... idk how stating there was one player left to check in is suspicious... it just screams you grasping at straws to get anyone lynched.... which if you are town (which I highly doubt based on your behaviour), I don't see how it is helpful.

Could you bring up a few posts you didnt like from them? \o/

The one where they voted for me.

@DarlingMonroe have you played before or are you totally new? have you read other games? you seem familiar with some terms and stuff so just wondering

I've played mafia before but never here.

I can get the premise of it, I'd like to try find a wolf game from Jack but that's kinda on the backburner for me right now

Tone wise he seems a little different to Beans Mafia? But that doesnt feel all too substantial. I dont think the burst of posting > silence is really happening here given thread feels quiet in general :s

You listed tutuu and Nutella as your biggest scum reads. I sorta see you talk about tutuu. But why nutella?

I sense a desire to respond and be present so at least

[Delta]

DM reentrance feels good & their reads roughly line up with my own which feels good \o/

Do definitely wonder about Nutella's placement & still curious about the Tutuu read since 'the post they voted me on' doesn't give all too much still ;_;

yeh I can’t tell if it’s a stylistic difference in approach, just getting their footing, or it’s just generic reads and player salad.

Which I found lazy tbh... idk how stating there was one player left to check in is suspicious... it just screams you grasping at straws to get anyone lynched.... which if you are town (which I highly doubt based on your behaviour), I don't see how it is helpful.

Attempting to read players isn't lazy, it's the point of the game. If wrongly reading them is lazy and unhelpful, you are lazy and unhelpful.

This is just how I've chosen to talk. You can verify this by isoing me here, I was town: viewtopic.php?t=2545

You are comparing me to a younger me from years ago who used to talk differently. The difference might be there but it's not forced, you just didn't see the gradual journey. @Scotty

Actually my bad I misread the post a little. You were talking about "verity of desperation". I wasn't familiar with that word verity so I understood it as reading me to tonally. Not quite the same. So sure maybe linking my game still somewhat relevant. You posted a reaction gif of being puzzled at one of my posts earlier which was a normal me post.

[tutuu]

I think that DarlingMonroe is hiding their identity or their original account name, which is fine, I'm not interested in prying into their life. I'm just mentioning this because I find it game relevant to bring up my concern that there's a world where they're mafia and get townread off of the assumption they're a beginner. They're definitely not a beginner, and them lying about it, if they are, isn't necessarily scummy, as in that world they have the objective to hide themselves regardless of alignment. But please be wary to not get blinded by them, I would find it helpful to perceive them as a non-newbie player and be careful.
