WORLD TOUR MAFIA II: JAPAN [DAY FIVE]

[nutella]

@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

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

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!

What are we voting for this day zero, I suppose is not an elim?

It is now day 1 but @Golden hasn't updated the thread title

Oh, thanks, then we have to find scum or at least try to

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

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

hmm ok i just don't really get that at all from how superficial/mechanical the posts are to begin with, need to see her actually dig in

[jess]

yea i think it's the fact that the posts are superficial/mechanical that i find wolfy but that's valid

[jess]

could u talk to me about nicole, nut? what do u find wolfy about her

[nutella]

could u talk to me about nicole, nut? what do u find wolfy about her

it's very weak but she just sorta vibed off in the early phase of the thread, felt awkward around the nascent "towncore" in a way

and then i specifically didn't like her post about leetic/you

[jess]

hmm ok, i did find her towny in the first few pages but it was mostly tonal so idk

[Tranq]

Michelle's use of the phrase "late to the party" is noteworthy as the only other time she has said that was earlier this year in GoC where she was mafia: https://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewt ... 0#p1165130

So yeah, maybe. That could be a tell. Other than that it looks like she was only able to be here for about 15 minutes.

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

Huh, I recall her being pretty absent and easygoing like this early on in that game, and it wasn't until later in the game that she started having contributions and Opinions. I'll have to look back at that I guess?

absent, yes. I don't remember her being easygoing, however

[gims]

and then there's a contribution-to-post ratio that might be alignment indicative, I remember michelle being much sharper with the little time she had to contribute last time

Can‘t really call it peer pressure when it‘s a single vote.
Just kinda baffled me.

1) Are you post-restricted? Like legit unable to post normally? Or just roleplaying and you COULD post otherwise if you wanted to?

I know every street in Tokyo.jpg

[pyxxy]

[VOTE: GoSpursGo] aubergine

2) You quoted all the other game-relevant posts, but are voting me for polling about video games? I didn't see you give a reaction to any of my other posts

I felt it when I met her it's just a hunch.jpg

[pyxxy]

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

This is a lot of hedge

you're right.jpg

[pyxxy]

jess likely town

Yeah....jpg

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

[Scotty]

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?

ngl i did find that post from leetic wolfy cause the turnaround on me/nut feels like the type of thing a wolf says if they realize theyre getting heat for their early pushes and feels an obligation to turn it around

i guess there's no way to infer anything about leetics internal process from that post so in a vacuum it looks like a wolfy turnaround

[Scotty]

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

I think you’re onto something but I also find Michelle’s alignment reveals itself as the lights change

Ergo I’d wait a day

same i think that she will have no problem making herself look towny if she is towny. i proly would not kill her today (even tho i am voting her rn)

Why is leetic considered an easy mark to you?

[Michelle]

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

[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

Who's Businessman #214 ?
Nice wagons anyway. I mean, it's a start.
Wanna see if LC wants to vote for any of them.

Is Michelle thinking this is day 0 a fake dumbtell ? Probably.

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!

What are we voting for this day zero, I suppose is not an elim?

Yeah sure, is even super fake!
I was thinking... what can i say to look like an idiot?
Aha! Found it!!!


For real, how can such a post be fake from someone like me? It's not fake regardless alignment tbh, the title was day zero and I saw a poll with people.


Also I am back, I can play for a while (almost 10 pm here)

He's not really around doing much of anything, much as Michelle. Might be a viable place for a mafia to dump a vote on.
I think GSGs read on me hasn't really been evolving since forever despite the high activity so he's still not making it into my townreads.
Speaking of which, I'll have to check NicoleAD again.

Is my desire to be agreeable a crime for you?
In fact I don't even try to be agreable, I am just a kind and happy person irl

Now what? We chop someone because it's not rude? Go ahead ig

It's still a bad argument that you based your read on. Going off of me asking LC for a scumread + adding something that never happened on top of it to justify it.

You know what. That's probably the presently most logical argument for someone being mafia at all.
