[RondoDimBuckle]

Rondo enters the Tatami room and bows low, wearing a modest brown Montsuki the mon of his dim buckle worn proudly. He moves in a quiet and subdued way to open the shoji screens to reveal a lush garden slick with dew from the nights rain. The moss covering the bed a sea of green. You can hear a DONK from the shishi-odoshi placed in the center of the zen-garden sand circles. You can see a small finch land on a branch and as quickly as it came fly away once more.

He gestures to @Michelle to take her place opposite him as if to say she has been chosen as the town leader and should take this place of honor, to relax and meditate on the future while enjoying this ceremony celebrating Tea

[RondoDimBuckle]

sorry i have like zero motivation to put effort into this game

if im still alive later game and it gets harder i can try more but as long as we are voting off mafia without having to think im gonna do that

Rondo goes to the large heavy set draws on an even larger wooden cabinet, he pulls and reveals several sets of smaller portions of tea within this single draw. You can watch as he gently selects some and collects it into a carrier and moves back to the main table. You can see the label on the tea he has selected to brew is called "Wolfy Behaviour"

Returning to the table he would begin to brew the tea, carefully and measured he pours in the hot water and says in a calm tone much like Dumbledore from the series Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire "It is interesting do you not think that once would be demoralized with more wolves dead than less? Perhaps it is something I am unfamiliar with, could you explain this to me?" completing his pour while making eye contact with Nutella, not a drop is spilled or a hair out of place. His hands perfectly measured as he places the tea just selected inside the pot and swirls it with enchanting motions.

[nutella]

yeah i think i've been pretty clear about that, if game easy why try

[nutella]

i have more important things to do like read gay fanfiction about spanish footballers

[RondoDimBuckle]

yeah i think i've been pretty clear about that, if game easy why try

Rondo nods slowly at the terse reply and continues to prepare the tea. Two cups are gently moved into place in an eye catching but smooth slow motion. "Ah, completely understandable." Rondo would say, while not understanding his aim to keep the tranquil atmosphere of the Ceremony intact

[VOTE: nutella] aubergine

[nutella]

my thirties are going okay why'd you ask

[nutella]

oh also i saw my favorite band perform their biggest album in full live last night so that was cool. have fun analyzing posts like a bunch of nerds

[Duelist Mirage]

Rondo-san, we thought you'd been locked away in your teahouse! I'm glad to see you, it means I don't need to chop down the door to get you out, that's not what my katana is made for!

good night

I dont think pyxxy is a wolf

Businessman #325 looks on stoically at the light change. He seems to think: “
I do

Expanding the POE to Dubz and then also not answering why he brought in Wilgy does nothing to dissuade me. I just don’t buy it.”

Then he is gone, home presumably? What a life you plebs live

catching up with the game now and i will say that im a little pinged by pyxy's push on wilgy insofar as it feels like there is a conflation of "wilgy is still technically within wolfrange" with: "therefore wilgy is in my immediate POE"

or rather like it's not clear how pyxy got from point A to point B and there's the sense that his push on wilgy could stem from him not having a lot of options to push on if he is a wolf, and expanding his own POE in a way that is motivated more by positioning than by solving

that was a longwinded way of saying that i find pyxyy's treatment of wilgy today opportunistic

[jess]

do you have any thoughts on epi mac? i truly have no idea how to read him lol

Yes.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that MacDougall isn't mafia. Third party is always a thing.

This MacDougall is on the defensive and has been from the beginning. He hasn't made a nasty effort to pit someone innocent to the wall (beautiful as that is!).

I do find it fascinating you're asking me specifically, but very well. There you have it.

Move, Gomibako. I almost stubbed my toe.

(And, after I wrote this, I realize you were asking Mac about me, not the other way around... I shall adjust my trifocals... posting anyway)

does anyone remember/and or have the votecote around the time that epi made this post?

ah okay spurs posted it here

i was going to argue that epi's defense of mac might be towny for him in a context where he/mac were the leading wagons and epi would be incentivized to self-pres as a wolf, but i misremembered what the vc was like at the time, it looks like epi wasnt rly in that much danger

[jess]

i have more important things to do like read gay fanfiction about spanish footballers

this is sooo relatable

[nutella]

wilgy is so town

[Michelle]

I can't lead town. My IC status I received is just taking away from the table my mischop who would most probably happen because meta is a solid piece of steel, isn't it?
@RondoDimBuckle
Thank you for the tea!

[Michelle]

wilgy is so town

Yeah, I can see it.

Is anyone silenced today?

We have just one death overnight so maybe the RB was used last night from my abilities?

No sign of leetic or Long Con yet this phase, so we don't know for sure that they aren't silenced. Either you blocked pyxxy or you got redirected somewhere and blocked someone else or silenced one of those two. Not sure we can really tell.

um. idk I think DM posts towny btw idk why there's so much contention there


long con called my first post town so maybe he isnt a wolf? it was an easy post to call wolfy like whoever has been mentioning "food tell" eyeroll lol, but he didnt so idk. think his only way out is to just play tho. unless he is silenced, which would be a massive shame

i'm booty at reading epi. I dont know if Ive ever seen him wolf either so it's all the same hard to read for me

scotty is like. fine

um.......................................................... mac exists um.... dubz? idk they have nice tone when making posts I just also dont um. remember their posts heh

pyxxy is ok. i'm like gth townread on him but i'm not gonna hard shield

jess also allegedly exists, as more than a figment of my imagination

is that everybody left?

[Porscha]

oh leetic and wilgy. idc about wilgy i havent seen him be real, I think that one is fake

leetic i'm entirely neutral on him dying. he hasn't been that helpful in solving it feels to me, not sure if that's uncharitable, but meh

No that's not everybody left, even including your followup post

What about Rondo, Tranq, and nutella?

What's towny about my posting?

I am happy for you. Thanks for sharing.

Porscha is townie af

@RondoDimBuckle
Thank you for the tea!

I thought you meant you got Ice Creamed for a second. Which would make sense, who else would the Ice-Cream Man use their power on?
It is possible pyxxy is the Ice-Cream Man and you roleblocked him.

[Tranq]

*throws an origami-shaped bucket filled with wet paper mache onto leetic and Long Con*

Please vote Rondo if you're silenced

[leetic]

Sorry for not being super active, again grad school applications are a lot of work. Is the LC vote because of slanking or is there more reasons there? pyxxy's ISO has never been inspiring to me but I'll have to look deeper there

[leetic]

*throws an origami-shaped bucket filled with wet paper mache onto leetic and Long Con*

Please vote Rondo if you're silenced

Wolf silencer is dead, are there any other silencing mechanics in the setup?

[leetic]

I am still working hard on my latest invention (to pay the bills you see). I will not be with you until later. Therefore, Matte Kudasai!

Spoiler: show

You are also an inventor??

Spoiler: show

I am disappointed

For those who do not know (and several of you should), I will be very, very busy in my laboratory Saturday and Sunday.

Translator3000, how do the Japanese say, "If you're paying attention to the few things I have already said, why are you acting surprised at this, you wet paper bags!?"

Go on, translate now.

Go chūi kudasai.

Thank you.

I have, unfortunately, left a portion of the game unread. I hope to try to engage more fully with the forward flowing current of the stream. My apologies, thank you for calling out my failing, that I may fully meditate upon changes to be made.

This isn't the kind of post that gives me much to work with either way. If I had to say something it feels a bit too apologetic but eh.

[leetic]

pyxxy's posts are hard to parse given the roleplay. It is interesting that they're pushing Dubz over LC but I'm not 100% sure if LC was a big wagon there. IIRC a few people have tried to get a Dubz wagon started but I don't think much materialized out of that

[Tranq]

Like a sheet of paper can be folded into different shapes, some are more straight forward than others. Michelle has a 1/3 chance of silencing someone. Parrot can copy Michelle. Druid can silence by way of Necromancing Trekkie.

[leetic]

[VOTE: Dubz] aubergine

There's this vote of course. It wasn't too late in the phase (I believe I was still either biggest or second biggest wagon then) and they dipped afterward, not sure what to think there. I think realistically Trekkie doesn't believe their vote is actually likely to start a wagon, so I can see it being a potential bus especially as it's not like Trekkie was pushing them before or after

[leetic]

[VOTE: gims] aubergine

There's also this post that stands out but in all likelyhood it feels like a w/t interjection, given Trekkie's passive play here I doubt they use my read on one of their wolfpartners to attack a town

[leetic]

I will say that I'm not quite amused at MacDougall's sharp decline in activity this phase. But I'll give grace for now in case he's legitimately busy

[Michelle]

Porscha is townie af

Explain it please!

[Michelle]

IC as inno child ofc

[Tranq]

I agree with Mac. Porscha's play here doesn't have the same shapes as her play in World Tour 1 where she was mafia.

[gims]

pyxxy is ok. i'm like gth townread on him but i'm not gonna hard shield

same, I do wish you expanded that thought a bit if you can

[gims]

do we need to consolidate to make sure we flip the athlete/politician? or do we otherwise let it roll with two big wagons and so eventually out the other player if they dont flip?

[GoSpursGo]

Plenty of time for that later. Almost 24h to go

Rondo pours the tea gently into the first cup, hands positioned perfectly and places the pot down in its place. Gently maneuvering the cup as if to say more with artistic expression than words wouldnt that just out the mafia and we kill them the next day? we can use it as a free way to check a secondary person every day. The cup ends up in front of the open seat as rondo performs the same actions for the cup in front of himself and with the same deft movements completes the set.

[GoSpursGo]

Specifically I do think Epig is getting overlooked as an option for today.

And I don’t really believe that Nutella or leetic can be the vote today, but we have 48h in a cycle so we may as well use them for sanity checks in case we have to consider if we miscleared someone in the future

[gims]

quick lazy skim over nutella: town

and lets be glad she pushed for nicole cause idk that I find her otherwise

[gims]

dubz lazy skim: scummy nothing of note on d1, picked up a bit later. probably has more correct reads than you'd expect from someone pushing scum agenda. tentative town

[gims]

if its not both pyxxy and LC that means im overlooking someone, it seems

[GoSpursGo]

dubz lazy skim: scummy nothing of note on d1, picked up a bit later. probably has more correct reads than you'd expect from someone pushing scum agenda. tentative town

I very tentatively lean dubz town, but it's for stupid meta reasons that nobody (including myself) should put that much stock in

[GoSpursGo]

Yeah probably.

I think flipping either pyxxy or LC red makes dubz look pretty towny (pyxxy pushing dubz today, and dubz pushing long con for 2 days now). If pyxxy and LC are both green, then I feel like dubz almost has to be red.
