WORLD TOUR MAFIA II: JAPAN [DAY FIVE]

[jess]

I believe Vivax is town

hi mac. are u town with me....

[jess]

Vivax probably town

I agree Nicole might be mafia

kind of a wolf shaped post

[jess]

Ok I smiled youre welcome to the towncore

eb ok i take it back gim got townier on page 2

[jess]

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

this post from nutella also kinda towny + i like the poem

[jess]

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

this post is also kinda towny for a really dumb reason

[VOTE: Trekkie] aubergine
AKA

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

if scotty is a wolf then i kinda think he would be more inclined to just chill/fade into the background in the early stages of the game? i like that he's being aggressive so early/he doesn't seem like he's worried about making enemies lol

[jess]

as of page 3 i think that trekkie is the only person that i find actively wolfy and it's bcuz it comes off like he is trying to fade into the background

Hello everyone!
I am late to the party and still at work until very late in the day but I am happy to play again here!

Yeah, I have time in the last15 hours of the DP and I also have to sleeo that night, unfortunately i have a deadline and I have finish my job.
If anyone needs my answer to a question please ping me

i need more posts from michelle to have a confident read on her but this post + the one i just quoted both feel like red flags to me insofar as it feels like she is trying to come off as super agreeable lol

[jess]

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 :/

towny tbh

[jess]

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

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?!?!

porscha kinda wolfy so far but im gonna let it slide bcuz i was excited to play with her

[jess]

Man this thread is boring lol someone be wolfy

ok this is by far the towniest post from nutella so far lol

[NicoleAndDime]

well I think I'm down to just trusting vivax, scotty and tranq

honestly want to townread duelist but her multiball point + approach to me felt jumpy yesterday so I'm backing off from townreading her for now

her leetic vote seems fine tho

nutella is finding her footing still which is pair of the course for her towngame but its early and she becomes obvious later on so im holding onto that

still not really feeling nicole, i guess her leetic sus is okay but she is reminding me a bit of an old scumgame of hers

game too large and i dont have many townreads

push comes to shove im sheeping scotty and maybe nutella if i feel good abt it

DM feels super town imo.
I super get the antsiness over the anticlaim stuff and this is town!DM besides it

Is this townread predominantly driven by meta?

I initially found her scummy because of the focus on mech from the jump (I tend to be much more of a social solver), but it's conceivable that's actually necessary in this game.

Not really, I like their scumhunting compared to other people. Feels like it has more bite to it and is well reasoned which I generally take as +town.

[jess]

ok sorry for the spam lol lemme try to put some of my thoughts into a single post

everybody is kind of melting together in my brain
I love nicole but I worry she is wolf just from like the silly gif when she wasn't townread which is not a good reason but I don't have much else rn anyway lol

thought whoever i was talking to about multi ball was kinda wolfy for suggesting there may be multiball which is why I responded to that post
I didnt get my answer cuz I didn't really ask directly enough thru my roleplay but, my concern was that it was brought up cuz they thought the person who scumread me was like, wolf, but also I was wolf, but for ?? reason they didn't assume it was w/w interaction

however the other person asked more directly and I suppose the answer provided that the idear came from the stark contrast of tone difference perhaps playing into the read due to potential multiball is like. good

i know i said porscha was kinda wolfy so far but i do soulread this post as a little town indicative for porscha, i guess the concern about nicole specifically reads as sortaaaaa earnest

because it just kinda is

very slightly but for jess's style in particular

plus nicole was weird about it, not assuming they're w/w or anything but just saying i saw where leetic was coming from

mmmmm ok i think this + the post i just quoted from nut have me sold on her being town. combination of her implied thought process re: my post but also her concern about nicole's suspicion on leetic. just feels multi-faceted in a towny way for her

[jess]

i sorta skimmed over page 7 but im basically caught up now.

[Scotty]

I recant my scum read on Trekkie- the messiness of the syntax feels more genuine and haphazard. I want to see a wolf Trekkie on this site, and don’t think I have. This feels more like a mentality of someone that isn’t afraid to try and MAKE THIS LIGHT BUT THE WALK SIGN IS FLASHING

[jess]

spurs need more data—-the free-ness of video game D0 polling and vote counts is helpful, but don’t know if it’s a tryharding tactic

Obligatory explanation that I do a poll on D0/D1 every game and it's NAI. But I would point out that I have a decent amount of game-relevant content--do you have any thoughts on those?

You do? I do see your top poster, strange that.

My thoughts are jumbled. I’ve got a lot of traffic going on up there

nope. to be honest i actually remembered absolutely zero of ur posts even though i had just read through the entire game and that lack of memory in tandem with ur vote both contributed to my vote

do u think leetic is mafia? who is ur strongest suspicion right now.

idk what it is about my now 75 posts that has everyone just glazing over them, but I digress...

leetic could be mafia. I have recently found that I tend to latch on to scum reads early on day 1 for reasons that wind up being NAI, and so I'm making an active attempt to try and pressure some of the lower voters into interacting. Among the players with fewer posts, I read leetic's vote on nutella and token shade at jess as feeling like scummy low-effort interaction.

Edited for syntax

[nutella]

Some slots like Scotty are really tripping me up cause it’s got me like “Yeah! A new Scotty post! I think I’ll be able to help parse him.” And then I’m half way thru and snap out of a daze
This is entirely on me though. Where’s uP or Enchant to say “skill issue” when you need them?
Having time to keep up helps as well instead of catching up constantly over morning coffee and dinner lol

towny post i think

[GoSpursGo]

who is ur strongest suspicion right now.

RE this outside of leetic, if I were wanting to vote more active players, I'd consider going back to my prior vivax vote

[leetic]

Been working on grad school application stuff so I've been a bit busy. I do like nutella and jess's more recent posts but Epi's progression feels super lame.

i can understand the angle for scumreading these posts insofar as they represent shots that are easy to parse as opportunistic:

Thread is indeed boring, but I'll [VOTE: nutella] aubergine simply because it's easy to say the thread is boring without doing anything about it

sorry i wont really be available to play until tomorrow (real-life time). the mafia better start quaking in their boots bcuz once im free it's gonna be sooooo over for them

Admittedly, this post doesn't look good either. Just say you'll be unavailable, no need to LARP about how the wolves would totally be destroyed right now if you were around

but i mean i dunno, it's hard for me to feel strongly about them because i dont think that either observation is inherently unlikely to come from a town perspective, and based on my experience with leetic i would kinda expect him to be a lil aggressive regardless of alignment

im fine with wanting him to post more but yea idk i guess i just dont feel like these posts are super alignment indicative for him

[jess]

jess likely town

i think you are probably town too

lmao ironically this post from leetic is the one i actually find wolfy

[nutella]

Gun to head I would vote IHNI ayyyyyy gottem
It would not be DM or Nicole I know that buuuuuuuuut at the same time I could see the angle on either of them but I don’t wanna cause they’re the only players I can actually read, and I mean that as presently in this game and not just in general

This phrasing -.-
They‘re the ones you can read but if you could read them mafia you wouldn’t because they‘re the ones you can read.

Seems like a circlejerk argumentation.

Sorry for the run-on.
Yes pretty much that. But in between town reading them and not wanting to scum read them, I can see a world where they could be mafia.
It’s like they’re on a scale that’s close to being level, and it could lean towards scum, but I think (along with my previously stated bias) it leans town.

But like how the scale is metaphorical, the scum DM and/or Nicole world is theoretical. In reality, I think this a town world

yeah quite towny

[GoSpursGo]

im fine with wanting him to post more but yea idk i guess i just dont feel like these posts are super alignment indicative for him

That's fine. I'm still pretty blind to the meta on this site, so I just got the feeling they were opportunistic and voted accordingly

[Tranq]

Tranq is ao actually

He can WALK

I do see a stark difference with his approach this game vs the last World Tour game, where he was a perverted tube train. It’s so stark of a difference I just want to trust it this game

OOPS FLASHING FLASHING CLEAR THE INTERSECTION YOU INGRATES

Ah, the slutty Underground train. It's not too different from an Origami master, actually.
When performing the act of origami, hands are always gently folding a fresh piece of paper. Repeatedly stroking the inner curves, putting pressure on the right spots. One has to know the ins and outs of the art, really.

You are right ofcourse, but are you really basing a townread on how someone is roleplaying?

I think it's likely obvious based on the time zone I'm putting in my VCs, but EOD happens at 0600 my time. So I expect I'll be asleep, unless one of the Spurslings wakes me at an obnoxiously early hour

Yeah I think Mac and Rondo are the only ones who benefit from Golden's timezone, we dealt with the same thing in the previous world tour game lol

jess is fine for now btw

still have some reservations but #lettinghercook

@jess can you explain the michelle read though i feel like those posts were completely nai for her and i don't think calling them "agreeable" makes any sense when they were only about the practicalities of the game and no actual content

I'll be here for EOD.

"agreeable" might be the wrong word, but there was a sorta positivity to them that felt a lil forced to me?

like when michelle is town im used to her kinda taking on the role of an inquisitive detective who kinda just does her own thing & is really cynical/skeptical of other players

michelle going out of her way to post nice/friendly intro posts and then being like "we need to find a mafia today then" just rings kinda forced/insincere, like michelle is putting on a front

idk if i can explain it better than that because it is very specific to my meta on her lol

[jess]

i guess i would have just expected michelle to spring into action right away instead of making those intro filler-y posts but maybe that's unfair to her

my one game with town!michelle had her displaying that trait - being on her own world, inquisitive, not really playing the social game - and I agree that post by hers feels a little out of character with how she played with me last time
