What's the best thing that happened to you this week, that made you instantly smile and feel better about the world?
For the first time EVER: Eloh (my wife) made MORE MONEY with her cake business than I did working AND gambling this month. She deserves a medal. I asked her this morning where her ass was. She was confused and I said "You've worked it off!" Seriously, I showed her the Captain Phillips gif to say "Look at me: I'm the breadwinner now."
About time! Those cakes have been better than anything you make for over a decade! :feb:

See, this is the kind of post that makes me suspect you very much.

I already know who the king is (me), and so do all the Guards. You're trying to get public confirmation into the thread, which can only help the Assassins.

They say it's 13 years since we had so much snow here. PIt's nice to see again white rooftops and I wish the cold weather will stay here and keep this white blanket on things a little more
Same weather situation here, but rather than wanting to see more of it, this is more akin to my personal notion of Hell.

I am still waiting for that town case on Leetic
So, you trust that post of his, and don't think he is AtE?
Wdym
It's emotionally laden, esp this part.
Foxy wrote: Fri Feb 21, 2025 5:13 am Why am I telling this? To trust my read on SVS? No. Don't. I don't trust it myself, as I didn't trust my read on T33 and wanted to swich by the end.
Agreed
we can't stop here...this is bat country!

This was the initial reason why I found Leetic towny. But it's been 2 48hr phases already and their ISO is so dry and without an spice. This is the person who accused Michelle of having the most middling ISO.

I think the best way to approach this is to say anybody you're not voting for (as I did above) and feel free to leave the royal highness in or out of your list as you see fit. Say why if you want.

It's also a thing I poo poo on in normal mafia games, but with there being a pair of ne'er-do-wells instead of a single killer, it's not a terrible idea to look for teammate interactions this early on (impossible a task as that is, but them's the breaks). I picked out a few that I didn't think were likely. Tell me why I'm wrong.

More shruggery.
This... I find very good because it points out how Leetic is just fearmongering.

Not sure I agree on the last sentence in general. But I'd say the biggest concern in this setup is that even if we lynch all the wolves, it doesn't guarantee our win as they still have the shots that can change the outcome.
How else do you win?
But, as I am writing this, I just remembered someone say they are good(?) at scumming. Well, I will townlean for now, and not overthink to paranoia.

Jackofhearts, Michelle... they have ok ISOs. nothing too wolfy or towny.

I think falcon is town. Their ISO is so sincere and esp this response to my joking is very cute. <3 Town Falcon.

I don't often solve the game D1, it's pretty rare in fact
SVS is definitely town. The fiesty retaliation against Foxy~ very towny.

LC seems to be genuinely solving.

At this point, my eyes keep glazing over as I ISO Scotty. I think I will just sheep the past me who believed he was town.

Foxy is... town for now. Yes.

I think there is one Assassin high posting, and one Assassin among the lowposters. I keep checking each player with their interactions to our King (His Majesty LongCon) and it keeps throwing off my reads a bit.

As of now, my POE includes: Leetic, Nutella.

Ppl I won't vote for now: falcon, SVS, Epi, Scotty (maybe), His Majesty LC, Foxy.

Ppl you can convince me to vote if you tried hard enough: TPS, Michelle, jackofhearts.

I already know who the king is (me), and so do all the Guards. You're trying to get public confirmation into the thread, which can only help the Assassins.

I am so sorry, Your Majesty. It wasn't my intention to help the assassins, but for the guards to find each other. ;(( I momentarily had forgotten about your greatness.

Okay, so are we descending into a holding pattern of some sort?

Maybe it's time for each and every Guard to flip the script completely on what they have done before and who they have voted before.

Maybe nuking the poll a few times before the deadline will make it more difficult for the Assassins to track vote patterns in their search for the King (me).

Doesn't seem possible. Even if we lynch both assassins they can still win by getting the king correct

@Foxy make your town case for Leetic please, I really need it.
Can you explain the thought process behind this? It's not like Thunal was nightkillled by wolves that were presumably scared of their reads. Even if both assassins stacked on Thunal that's still four town that voted them in a relatively quick procession

I think this thing between leetic and Michelle is charged with a little something extra. Not something that would matter as much in a regular Mafia game, but I feel like one of the two involved has the kind of vested interested that an Assassin would have. I was just looking back over the thread, and it just feels like the leetic-Michelle thing has legs. This is one of the game dichotomies that I believe we will need to resolve.

This was the initial reason why I found Leetic towny. But it's been 2 48hr phases already and their ISO is so dry and without an spice. This is the person who accused Michelle of having the most middling ISO.

All of us know who the king is, as long as we aren't absolute morons the king is never in danger of being the final lynch regardless of if one or some of the guards are voting them at any particular moment. We benefit from resolving this as quickly as possible, and in most scenarios random lynches won't achieve that.
Nutella's ISO is so dry as well.

Based on this, I'm least likely to vote for Foxy or Thunal.
Epignosis wrote: Thu Feb 20, 2025 12:03 am As I've thought more about it:

I think the best way to approach this is to say anybody you're not voting for (as I did above) and feel free to leave the royal highness in or out of your list as you see fit. Say why if you want.

It's also a thing I poo poo on in normal mafia games, but with there being a pair of ne'er-do-wells instead of a single killer, it's not a terrible idea to look for teammate interactions this early on (impossible a task as that is, but them's the breaks). I picked out a few that I didn't think were likely. Tell me why I'm wrong.

More shruggery.
This... I find very good because it points out how Leetic is just fearmongering.

Not sure I agree on the last sentence in general. But I'd say the biggest concern in this setup is that even if we lynch all the wolves, it doesn't guarantee our win as they still have the shots that can change the outcome.
How else do you win?
But, as I am writing this, I just remembered someone say they are good(?) at scumming. Well, I will townlean for now, and not overthink to paranoia.

Jackofhearts, Michelle... they have ok ISOs. nothing too wolfy or towny.

I think falcon is town. Their ISO is so sincere and esp this response to my joking is very cute. <3 Town Falcon.

His Majesty Long Con and I are scum buddies, how did you know? :broken_heart:
I don't



I don't often solve the game D1, it's pretty rare in fact
SVS is definitely town. The fiesty retaliation against Foxy~ very towny.

LC seems to be genuinely solving.

At this point, my eyes keep glazing over as I ISO Scotty. I think I will just sheep the past me who believed he was town.

Foxy is... town for now. Yes.

I think there is one Assassin high posting, and one Assassin among the lowposters. I keep checking each player with their interactions to our King (His Majesty LongCon) and it keeps throwing off my reads a bit.

As of now, my POE includes: Leetic, Nutella.

Ppl I won't vote for now: falcon, SVS, Epi, Scotty (maybe), His Majesty LC, Foxy.

Ppl you can convince me to vote if you tried hard enough: TPS, Michelle, jackofhearts.


Feeling really insecure about my deductions rn. XP but it is what it is.

[VOTE: Leetic] aubergine
I never accused Michelle of having a middling ISO I accused Michelle of having a Michelle singular post

Looking at your post though, you agree that Michelle has a middling ISO
:ponder: :ponder: True. But I found it contradicting that you were accusing her of something you were also guilty of.

We can eliminate 7 towns before going to MYLO. What are the chances that we keep eliminating incorrectly... 7 times in a row?
Doesn't seem possible. Even if we lynch both assassins they can still win by getting the king correct
Then how are we supposed to win?

@Foxy make your town case for Leetic please, I really need it.
Can you explain the thought process behind this? It's not like Thunal was nightkillled by wolves that were presumably scared of their reads. Even if both assassins stacked on Thunal that's still four town that voted them in a relatively quick procession
Thunal is proved to have good intentions.

This is a pretty basic way to look at it, and sometimes going back to basics is best. Although sometimes the pellet with the poison's in the flagon with a dragon. It is known.

I'm fairly sure that not talking about who we trust is the basic premise here. I find it kinda disturbing that you seem to want to get people to spill.
