Severance [Evening Four]

[Bereft]

The box of her things is getting burnt in a bonfire, I already know that much, even if I don't know that I personally will chuck it into the fire. Kinda done with having visions of them.

[pyxxy]

ah yeah glancing at your iso you have been going after Rondo since like ~36 hours ago

hm

A voter on my wagon, people

Is voting for me, doesn’t even know what i’ve been doing this game

Ngl I don't actually remember pyxxy's reason for voting you off the top of my head

me neither

but it’s a me problem!

jk

it's because I didn't buy your slank cover, since you got active and engaged after that in a manner that I found to be someone that just wanted an easier D1, which makes sense if you feel like you're always getting sussed (as any alignment?) D1 with nonsense wagons

it's not quite the same as faking townie entitlement but then I didn't like (initially) how you presented rondo's opinion of interpretting bereft. rondo is a known brake cutter and reading into bereft made a lot of sense to me, and you came across as not attacking the actual bereft case (please forgive me if you think this is a farcical statement) but instead going "how can anyone sus me because bereft is doing a gimmick", which is a different position to take, if that makes sense

now I think you're honestly presenting townie entitlement o7

[VOTE: unvote] aubergine

I can't remember anything about slank cover but that's one hell of a turnaround, spicy

I got u

with the amount of perspiration i am seeing, i might need 106h anti-perspirant to avoid the d1 lunch cuz im gonna be 10x more underwhelming than what is being portrayed as the norm

I revise my statement. I don't think everyone would call this slank cover, because people do post "I have a wedding this weekend not gonna be on much" i.e. me

More activity cover. Which. Yeah this all fits into "ted is annoyed at the playerlist activity/getting D1'd for whatever reasons" like this all fits, but I sussed it because it's pretty :/ but if ted feels like gotta put this out in front because of history, I think I get that (better now).

Wait, if that's Robyn then who was the kewpie doll?
Sigh
Gonna have to do some sorting out eventually

[pyxxy]

^for future reference

ted is correct in that I did not recollect much of anything about sussing Rondo

but I also remember things like this

welcome to a more complete pyxxy mental model, mind the gaps and enjoy your stay

[tedxtr]

i gave the cover pre-game

[tedxtr]

kill rondo

Good night

Skate Maid Enjoyers

Ranmilia - paid negative nineteen dollars for negative one chicken sandwich in a dream

Gira - If a wolf wrote #911 and #1022 I'm down to lose to it, and the pushes and heat here have been... weird and I suspect wolf action. Do not vote out Gira.

Mac - Hitting all the usual town notes both empirically and metawise, active enough to legit be self resolving. Never vote mac until xlo, 100% vote him at xlo if he's alive and we haven't won, etc etc etc.

Wind - Many many reasons wind is town and basically none why she would be wolf, I get her mindset a lot better now.

Abigail - I'm way less certain about reading this playstyle, but as far as I can see there's no reason to suspect her.


10 Hours of Silence Occasionally Interrupted By The First Four Notes of Megalovania

pyxxy - Don't love how they blew me off, but the thread got consumed by other stuff so we table this for now. I am still very concerned here, because this feels like the sort of "everyone has them mid" slot that A. has wolf equity and B. if not a wolf are at incredibly high risk for being pocketed by wolves, in part *because* town does not connect to them and thinks they have wolf equity and they feel suspected and isolated and so on. I encourage everyone to talk to pyxxy more and pyxxy if you are town, understand where I'm coming from... this is too long to really fit in a readlist but yeah more on this later.

Rondo - I haven't really looked into Rondo, beyond a surface take that they are being active and doing things that will cause others to react and that's baseline town and if not I can read other people's reactions, and also "they are getting in scraps with my wolfreads so that's a good look for now."

TSP - Alternates between "oh he's thinking about the game, seems fine" and "What? What?????" Firmly OR.

Willing To Vote

Naturally I doubt all 4 (5) of these are actually wolves. To any that are town, please, please, come back and help us; it is never too late to turn things around.

Dizzy - Still not really playing the game, only lukewarm takes and self professed "idk what's going on" worldview, refer to prev discussions.

tedxtr - Doesn't seem to be playing in a very towny way, tons of red flags regarding talking about mech, joking about wolfchat, knew there were multiple threads before the actual mech hit us... it do look like they have gots information they should not have. Also top mutual wolfreads with some of my other wolfreads so.

Bereft - Still playing riddles three and being deliberately antagonizing and unhelpful, which in my experience is a strong wolftell. Also in a three way pokemon type battle with robyn and ted. I can find reasons to vote the others over him but I wouldn't mourn this slot's death; I can't get much out of the (deliberately obscured) worldview other than wanting ted dead.

leetic - still hasn't really done anything besides aggro snipe at everyone and talk about mech a lot. I don't see a coherent worldview or drive to solve and help town. I get they're not on the table today and some folks are townreading them for meta or audacity but in my eyes this is just a wolf.

Robyn

robyn.

I vibe with your townreads
But have a lot of slots flipflopped in your meh?/wolf categories so at some point I'd love a discussion to see if I can understand what you're seeing and vice versa

[WindwardAway]

i gave the cover pre-game

Oh wait yeah, I remember that now

[leetic]

My activity level will go down for the rest of the phase, I may be able to check in a few times but don't expect me to be continuously present in the thread. The only reason robyn should be reconsidered is if the suddenly decide to show up and act obviously towny. In that unlikely scenario, I'd be fine with RBD as a backup but otherwise I'm happy where my vote is.

[WindwardAway]

If Robyn flips town, someone's going into time-out
But I don't really believe it at this point

Yeah ofc
But I'm not gonna reconsider because I'm going to sign off soon too and I don't plan to check again

Don't do that. This was a team effort win or lose. All this does is sew anxiety.

[Ranmilia]

@Ranmilia wait what did I miss, I thought we had a convo at some point (but it was late last night so maybe I missed something)

We did, I asked why you are town, you said "I have a town role PM" and nothing more and then Porscha showed up and everyone got drunk and I went to play Cobalt Core.
I was hoping for more like, "If I was a wolf I'd have done this, you should townread where I did this" kind of thing.

[Ranmilia]

man y'all posted a lot while i was writing that.

[MacDougall]

Hey Ran.

Not sure why you have Abi so high tbh. They've done two fifths of fuck all today.

[WindwardAway]

TIL that for some reason, my mafia rands on MU registered as "other" and not mafia rands
Maybe it was because they were mashes though

[Ranmilia]

Hey Ran.

Not sure why you have Abi so high tbh. They've done two fifths of fuck all today.

ISO her and see if you still feel that way?

[WindwardAway]

Oh I know it was a team effort, I just had a sudden paranoia thought that we could still be wrong but I'm sticking with it anyway.

[WindwardAway]

Hey Ran.

Not sure why you have Abi so high tbh. They've done two fifths of fuck all today.

I think her D0 was pretty good and I have her as town for that

[WindwardAway]

Any last questions for me before I go for the night?

[WindwardAway]

Oh I never wrote out my entire readlist, gimme a min

[MacDougall]

Well given my D0 was completely non event I grant that. However I certainly have concerns with their viability as a wolf in Robyn wolf teams based on their momentum and voting.

[Ranmilia]

Admittedly robyn rondo abi is a team so I see where mac is coming from

[Ranmilia]

nice crosspost

[MacDougall]

I think I'm going to leave my reads at least somewhat cryptic this time. I have some reads in particular that I don't really want the mafia to know about yet.

[Ranmilia]

Any last questions for me before I go for the night?

Reads overview yeah. Anything you want to get out if you die.

oh

eh maybe ask me that after a flip

I kinda just hate "why this thing I did I would never do as scum"

I'm more from the philosophy that I could do anything as any alignment, but generally I'll have a scum-motivated reason if I'm scum

if that's more helpful, because my first response is not helpful

[MacDougall]

It has been a fairly good experience today, I am confident in my town and the game play does align with a mafia team that are being boxed out by having limited options aside from eating themselves. Hopefully it proves true, but even if it doesn't it's not the end of the world. The day has been played well. GJ.

[WindwardAway]

Admittedly robyn rondo abi is a team so I see where mac is coming from

I didn't consider Abbi with Rondo but Abbi/Robyn did cross my mind at some point
I forgot why, though

That actually helps a lot, thanks.

Haha, it does seem likely. Though I will say that in these high concept Syndicate games you never know what mech is around...

[WindwardAway]

I think I'm going to lose my compass overnight. ~ Bereft

I thought you said it was pointing in the wrong direction

[Bereft]

Oh, my compass, it reliably always pointed North and true.

I did not move the box with her things. I did not take a magnet and make the needle move.

I simply let them stay as they were. It will be missed if it is ever lost.

Got it thanks

[Bereft]

Frankly its embarrassing how much I let her control me. Everything would be going fine, then I'd find her having caught the canary so to speak. And then she'd throw a fit when I find out. And then I would feel bad. And the cycle just kept repeating.

But she's stopped screaming in my ear now. I know it's time to let go.

Alright

Here are some town:
Gira
Wind

Leetic
Ted

I still haven't read.
This is just magic.
But I think it works.

If robyn wasn't an option, who would you vote?

[leetic]

Well, this thread is way less active than I'd expect <2 hours before EoD. Then again, timezones/busy schedules. Plus, it looks really unlikely that anyone other than robyn goes down, especially given that several of the votes on them seem to be parked.

[leetic]

robyn has a little over an hour to show up and try to convince us why a vote on them isn't a good idea. Yeah, that's probably not happenin'.

[leetic]

Alright, the NSM game I'm hosting is now officially over, though I still need to add a phase-by-phase breakdown and player analysis. Thus, this game can receive my full undivided attention for the time being. However, not much seems to be happening right now

[leetic]

Less than an hour 'til EoD and I'm the only one talkin'. Come on, I was supposed to be one of the less active people during this time!

[leetic]

Anyway, I'm not exactly a fan of Bereft taking the hedge option. If robyn somehow flips town, Bereft's vote looks the worst because they're allowing the mislynch to happen without actively participating in it.
