[Scotty]

Tranq Trekkie and Porscha could get run over right now and I wouldn’t bat an eye

TO NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE EYES

[RondoDimBuckle]

Rondo walks in and LOUDLY asks "SO WHERE DO I SIT?!" noticing the large table everyone else is at "OH, HERE WILL DO!"

[VOTE: DM] aubergine

[RondoDimBuckle]

Rondo considers a moment the other tables who now look like their table cloths are greener than his "ON SECOND THOUGHT, THIS TABLE IS A SILLY PLACE!" he gets up moves

[VOTE: TRANQ] aubergine

gims town

we're towncoring here, friends, hop on!

No

What makes this mafia

What makes it not mafia?

This Miltank did not answer the question at hand though.
Or do you mean the Miltank represents your own “No” post being a shitpost?

Here’s an origami Miltank:

Is not mafia? Seems simple enough.

This feels like an oddly serious reading of obvious screwing around.
Especially I'm pretty sure that miltank is papermache not origami. [VOTE: tranq] aubergine

[RondoDimBuckle]

To call them tables however was a misnomer, for they were short and stout and not at all something that could host a proper AUSTRALIAN meal like 420, 4n20 pie's or a whole EMU. "OH, GDAY!" Rondo would say as NiCHol&Dime sat down with him

[RondoDimBuckle]

Looking around Rondo would appreciate the room and how Asian it looked, with the pictures of men in dresses and the big waves at the beach. "CRIKEY, THESE ARE BONZA. HOSTESS HAS REALLY PULLED THIS ALL TOGETHER HASNT SHE? YOU RECON' THIS IS KOREAN? CHINESE? STREWTH ITS A BEAUTE. LOOKIN FORWARD TO THIS CEREMONY" Rondo would bellow to nobody in particular in the room. Clearly mistaking them for people who cared what he would have had to say.

[Tranq]

Rondo why didnt’t you play Pokémon mafia? You would’ve been an excellent Kangaskhan.
Not the big one, the little one inside the pouch.

[Trekkie99]

If Nicole was a bomb then would that make her a nade?

[RondoDimBuckle]

Rondo why didnt’t you play Pokémon mafia? You would’ve been an excellent Kangaskhan.
Not the big one, the little one inside the pouch.

Rondo looks at the table "WHAT THE FUCK?! and runs from the room "HOLY SHIT ITS HAUNTED IN HERE!" knocking over a tea set on a nearby table in his haste

[Long Con]

My goodness, what a colourful collection of characters we have assembled here! I confess I am not entirely certain what to make of some of you yet, but I remain optimistic. In fact, perhaps this is precisely the sort of environment my new invention was designed for! So many personalities, so many behavioural variables... yes, yes, this could be an excellent field test. Assuming, of course, the integrity capacitors don't overheat again. That was... inconvenient.

Looking over the latest batch of discussion, however, I am encountering a small calibration problem. There is a great deal of... enthusiasm, but not yet very much I can confidently process as serious intent. Jokes, performances, peculiar declarations... fascinating data, certainly, but rather difficult to feed into a behavioural analysis without the machine shouting INCONCLUSIVE and ejecting a spring.

And yet, conclude you must! Consider this the hypothesis-generating portion of the work, and then we can move to the hypothesis-testing portion.

So, who do you hypothesize killed the jays?

gims is pure as the delicate petal of a sakura blossom
mac too as the pink of his name evokes
they flourish stately and elegant in the lovely park of my town and shower me with their blessings

[GoSpursGo]

today I spent 2 1/2 hours after work cooking. I made:
Rice, with no issue.
6 scrambled eggs, with no issue.
I prepped an entire container of mushrooms, then decided they weren't good enough to quell my foodborne illness anxiety after spending all that time preparing them, and tossed them.
I lost 1/3 trout filets from it just... sliding out of the packaging straight into the trash.
I had 2 shallots. While trying to peel them, I lost one of them three times and gave up after the 3rd time, once it fell deep into the trashcan.
When I turned around from dealing with the shallots, the cat was on the counter licking the open container of now-cooked trout. Have to throw away the few pieces on top, so now I have even less trout.
And it ends with 1/2 poblano peppers having gone bad because it was freezing in the fridge, somehow.
At least I got 1 good shallot, some old garlic done-with, and good baby broccoli and zucchini for my vegetables, I guess.

This sounds like a terrible experience and I wanted to come back and wish you a better day today

[GoSpursGo]

@Golden day 1 will start around 6am EDT? Is that gonna be SOD/EOD or will EOD shift to a more normal time?

Define 'normal'. What is normal for someone who lives in, say, New Zealand?

Well well well

[GoSpursGo]

@Golden day 1 will start around 6am EDT? Is that gonna be SOD/EOD or will EOD shift to a more normal time?

Ah, well, we'll possibly have two shifts in DST, one down here in the southern hemisphere and one up there in the northern hemisphere, during this game, so I don't know what that'll do to it.

But EoD/SoD will always be approximately 10pm NZ time because that's the only time I can reliably do it.

Sounds good lol. I'll just have to solve the game by 2-3pm your time, in all likelihood

[gims]

I think Imma trust scotty this game

I am enjoying the positive energy here. It feels like people are wanting to jump in and help work together, like a giant mass of Pikmin working together.

The question is who is faking it?

[Duelist Mirage]

An origami-shaped eyebrow raised to Duelist Mirage and NicoleandDime for not picking up on my obvious kawa-esque intro post.

What's this "not picking up on" assumption? That's exactly why the interaction was so weird. Kawaii was not town.

Oh yeah, you're the one who went after Kawaii for it, aren't you? Hm

Why'd you decide gims is town?

[nutella]

So anyway, I just spent waaay too much time and effort reading the role list and matrix and holy crap what the heck did I sign up for here?!?

Like wow I sure hope there isn't a miller in the game, that'd really suck for them not being able to claim like millers normally should and it's even a death miller so how the hell would we even have any idea if they flip wrong aaaaaaaaaa

And forgers and janitors and surgeons and bus drivers and all this shit is just like ugh we aren't going to be able to trust basically any mech stuff are we?

And there's a 50% chance of it being multiball so that'll make dayplay reads even more unreliable too!

I think I'll just go back to roleplaying

There was a death miller in the first game and he was eliminated early, I was mafia and it was so fun to watch people solve on false premises

I'm town this time so hope that doesn't happen lol but fair warning!

[Porscha]

Wow Pikachu, we sure did catch some strays along route 3, didnt we?

Pika pi... Pika Pikachu Pika pi!

Haha. Yeah... it was funny to see rondo acting extra australian. Don't forget to keep your eyes open for any trainers we can battle!

[Duelist Mirage]

eh i mean idk i thought her starting jokes were kinda towny and then her big post abt claiming and millers and things was neutral-ish but kinda filler-y so im still waiting and seeing

Huh, I kinda expected you to have more of a reaction to that post, one way or another :/

[Duelist Mirage]

too agreeable. Duelist’s post here also feels timid

CANT BE TIMID ON YOUR WAY TO WORKING HARD ELSE BUSINESSMAN #214 WILL WALK OVER YOU

Timid? Good sir, I hope you do not mean that as a slight against my honor!

im kinda sick and airheaded today

[gims]

I think your disappointment of me is towny tho

[Duelist Mirage]

porscha did #foodtells and can flip for it

I am now going to try to convince myself that you're being like this because you're sick, and not because you're mafia and it's multiball and we're doomed

ok youre town

im sick and even if i wasn't i have a PILE of stuff to do so I'm not gonna improve my posting anytime soon :<

check my awful gameplay (and somehow 100% correct reads) on that xkcp game for reference

Hi fellow trainer! I saw you from across the road, and I need your help!

Pikaaachu!!!

Did you say... multi ball? The only multi ball I know are pokeballs, greatballs, ultraballs, and the super rare masterball! Are you also trying to catch them all?!?!

You're right to push back. It does look like papermache.

Miltanks aside, the quotes made it look like Vivax asked you a direct question. Looking back, he was actually using your posts as a response to Spurs' question here: https://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewt ... 1#p1193401

So disregard my post. On paper it looked like you were avoiding a direct question, but i made a wrong mental fold.

gims picked up on it immediately. I liked that. Also thought it would be funny as "gims town" is another kawa-esque post.
If you picked up on it aswell i have to say it isn't clear from reading your posts.

[NicoleAndDime]

I shall not disregard until we receive some origami, tranq

Without it we shall meet on the dohyō!

What do you mean, "gims picked up on it immediately"? He said he believed you. I don't see any more reason to call that someone understanding your reference than those of us raising an eyebrow at it. Or why getting the reference would even be alignment indicative.

[Tranq]

I mean it felt like gims acknowledged the reference. Maybe that's a better way of describing it than "picked up on it".
