mac is towny on this page

[Tranq]

Mac hasn't posted on this page

[jess]

mac u have to be towny on this page now or im gonna look like a complete fool

[Tranq]

Mac's refusal to post on this page is quite suspicious.

His case on nutella, meh. Maybe if we get to point where pyxxy/Epi etc are dead and the game isn't over.

[RondoDimBuckle]

If I dont make it to tomorrow, tell Golden I said......

Hello

[Golden]

HONSHU BULLET TRAIN

The elderly man appeared on the train.

"Ah, you are all finding this too easy. I must make it harder."

"Pika pika?" said Pikachu.

"Yes, you are racking up kill on villain after villain. But you are not truly being tested. Some of you have even called this expedition *boring*."

The old man continued. "Today, in order to be eligible for a prize, I must see an increase in role play. I demand ten posts from each of you. And in order for your vote to count today, you must bow to me and call me sensei at least once."

The group assemble, considering the old man's words, when they realise there is one who is not among them.

Spoiler: show

Michelle has died

Their affiliation was:

TOWN

Their role was:

Spy - You will target someone each night and poison them. There is an equal chance that they will be silenced, blocked, or killed.

It is now Day 4. Please note ALL additional requirements today. You have 48 hours to decide who to eliminate for this travesty.

[Tranq]

*bows to Golden*

Golden, you are an old sensei. I shall make an origami statue in your honor.

[Tranq]

[VOTE: Pyxxy] aubergine

Pyxxy, no origami statue shall be made in your honor. Except maybe if we're wrong.

[GoSpursGo]

*bow* thank you sensei. This world is not boring, it is vibrant as the fields of hyrule, as the crags of death mountain, and the depths of lake Julia

If the redirectors and Michelle and the spy did their job and agreed that pyxxy was scummy, we probably need to think about that slot.

Or they just weren’t carrying the kill and there’s someone else that’s not in the consensus POE who was carrying it last night

I favor the latter but need to be thoughtful today

How foolish of me, you’d think I was that buffoon Master Kohgah

[GoSpursGo]

Rondo has voted no vote, it would be nice if he’s not silenced if he would say something

Was Michelle suspecting him?

[Tranq]

Michelle targetted pyxxy Night 2, so doubtful she was able to target him again Night 3.

[GoSpursGo]

Michelle targetted pyxxy Night 2, so doubtful she was able to target him again Night 3.

Oh yeah

Disappointing as all of the Star Fox games after Star Fox 64

[Tranq]

If pyxxy is town though, an origami-shaped eye goes to Scotty for these posts here:

Tranq is either gluing down his human mask over his wolf body or he’s just straight town with the breaking of the tie. I want to believe he is just town for that.

Do you know pyxxy's alignment?

Did you know that 7-11 is a Japanese company?

It makes sense if you think about it

The initial post could be TMI on pyxxy being town. The reply to my post is just ignoring the red lights while crossing the street.

[Scotty]

THE STREETS ARE ALIVE, AO

The sun comes up, and the world continues, yet we mourn Michelle’s passing. She will never walk these streets again, and it pains Me

If I could bow (which I can’t), I would do so to the famed sensei “Golden” for the prize I received last night. Arigato

PIYO PIYO

I have seen pyxxy on the street a time before and I must admit (I admit many people, usually every 30 seconds) I do not know his alignment.

My comment was more in line with the binary thinking of you breaking the tie on a confirmed mafia for bussing purposes, and wasn’t thinking of pyxxy in this equation.

But now that you mention it, I do see how that could be perceived as TMI

but rest assured, I have no extra information, just the colors of my signage and the gentle chirp of my mechanism

[Tranq]

No origami statue for Epignosis. Epi has only made a handful of posts the last couple of days. No real effort in finding mafia. Fits the narrative of being in a demotivated mafia team.

well. i mean.

idk if epig is scummy. idk how to read epig. he is... different this game. but idk. can someone scumcase him in a way that isnt just POE?

How dare you! I am the scummiest scumbag to ever walk the- !

Ahem. Don't know where that came from. Pardon me.

What I meant to say was that if anybody cared to pay attention, I'm clearly not mafia. I believe I have participated as optimally as I could have given my circumstances, and I am fully satisfied with my performance.

Why are you clearly not mafia? Who are the remaining 2?

Also, gg @Michelle ! Your loss is more tragic than Zelda’s death in Twilight Princess, and like Link, we shall ensure your sacrifice is not in vain!

[Scotty]

[VOTE: Epignosis] aubergine

This is someone who has had shifty eyes, looking down when he should be looking up crossing the street.

That’s how you knock down old ladies if you’re not careful! Shame!

[Scotty]

In the night, when the crowds were sparse (but I still had a job to do!), I had an inkling that Tranq was a deep Yakuza and the final nail in the coffin on Long Con was for show. But I reverted that thought, and am woefully sorry for thinking as such. Tranq is good civilian, never rescind.

Pyxxy could still very well be a bad boy, with his skateboard carving up my streets, not being a contributory member of society (everyone must do their part to cross when the lights change). No problem with him getting run over.

Wilgy (like me if I’m honest) had an impeccable day 1 and 2 voting record but has had a downturn of activity, haven’t seen him on the crosswalk in some time. I might have to keep the light AKA for him for the time being.

You remind me of my old friend Cranky Kong. A wizened font of smart ideas, with a dash of get off my lawn

[Tranq]

No origami statue to Rondo either. Maybe he gets one if he redirects his Yoko One vote to a real one.

[GoSpursGo]

Come on wolves. Y'all got humiliated the last two times you tried to go for me. Are you sure you want a round three?

Who specifically that is scum reading you right now do you suspect are the remaining two wolves?

Have skimmed through the thread but it's apparent a lot of people are scumming me and given past trends they can't all be town. I will say that MacDougall's sudden switchup on me after he was townreading me so much for (kinda sorta) defending him during D2 does not look good

I hear your point that "not everyone can be town," but I'd like you to commit to which two are most scummy and which 12 are wrong town.

You don't necessarily need to have fully formed opinions on every single player, but it's day 4 and we have 3 mafia flips, so I think it's reasonable to expect you to cull your POE a bit.

[Tranq]

Dubz and Spurs both get an origami statue. With the caveat that if one of them ends up being mafia, the other might be aswell. In which case the origami statues will be revoked.

[Tranq]

gims gets a mech origami statue. I don't think even once has the thought of gims being mafia entered my thoughts.

[GoSpursGo]

may you find confidence to read people in how they post. inshallah

Maybe someday!

[Tranq]

@DrWilgy gets an origami statue if he explains his Epi "vibes" more thoroughly.

[Tranq]

may you find confidence to read people in how they post. inshallah

Maybe someday!

This reminds me. Porscha gets an origami statue for her Long Con thoughts at EOD. Let this game be proof that your instincts can be trusted.

[Scotty]

NO CROSSING WHILE I TAKE A LOOK ON THE INTERWEBS (the local transit authority installed smart technology. Now I’m “smart” haha PIYO PIYO

Looking at DrWilgy’s interactions with the flipped wolves:

WTF is this post? If I'm wolfy for making that post what does it say about you for agreeing with it? [VOTE: Scotty] aubergine

Anyway still catching up

That he has nuanced towny thoughts rather than say, perhaps trying to point out a "contradiction" in order to have something to push, like wolves are more likely to do?

What exactly is the "nuance" here?

Being able to shamelessly exist in the state where Epi's posting does not seem good but also pushing him for it does not seem good, because his alignment is unknown

Isn't everyone's alignment unknown?

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

Oh! Oh my. One moment, please. The Perspective Discrepancy Module has never actually done that before.

"Because his alignment is unknown."

Interesting choice of words, Duelist. Unknown to whom, exactly? From a Town perspective, everyone's alignment is unknown. But you seem to be separating Epi into a particular category of player whose alignment you don't know.

[VOTE: duelist] aubergine

This is a good post

Please be aware, we will not be stopping at Long Con.

LC is currently top TR.

Note this is not an error in spite of it being weird.

Sukide wa arimasen

Nicole's ISO is very meh.

What stood out to me is that Nicole seemed to argue the same post I disliked here:

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

Disagree, that kind of statement is +town

Its neutral but I don't feel great about leetic going after it.

I don't like that there's VERY little reasoning in the ISO. What reasoning there is is flimsy and had to be coerced by other players.

Yuck, the voters on Nicole's wagon have too many posts for me to skim there and get a vibe.

This is a weird aside

[VOTE: Nicole] aubergine

This is fine.

I'm going to sleep. Will probably regret not voting Rondo here, but at least Nicole seems to have tension with both Leetic and DM.

Now departing. Please clear the doors.

Probably the towniest context in the game for Wilgy, as according to my vote tally, he broke the tie and made it 4/3 for Nicole over DM. The voters at the time were Vivax/Spurs/nutella, which is a weird comment because at least Vivax and Nutella didn’t have a huge iso for him to comb through to get a ‘vibe’. But he comes to Nicole apparently on his own, so hmm. The most AO ‘you can walk’ of his behavior this game, but it ISNT clearing the crosswalk.

Skimmed Mac as lead wagon, Trekkie and Epi on vibes.

[VOTE: Trekkie] aubergine

Epi v Tranq kerfuffle is interesting.
Tranq brought up the concern brewing in my head on Epi, which was an Epi vote on DM into 'hey vote DM with me' towards me would've put DM over Nicole. Epi's rebuttal felt good enough though.

Trekkie stood out to me as one of the people potentially TMIing my catchup. It was like Mac/Trekkie and someone else? Trekkie's just stood out to me. The skim there didn't garner any confidence, so this seems like a fine vote.

Mac's stance on Spurs doesn't *FEEL* like something Mafia would do right after losing a teammate. Mac's ISO is quite goofy, but at least there's that point.

If there was a bus on Nicole, it was likely just Tranq? Nicole was actually the first to 3 votes based on Spurs tallies, Nicole being the 1 in 4 on the related wagon just makes me think it was mostly clean. I'll review that later I guess.

Good look crossing the street here. The difference in this vote vs Nicole’s is the votes were 5 mac/ 5 leetic / 3 trekkie during this vote. So he would bring trekkie closer before going to bed. He probably couldn’t have known Trekkie would then swing to 6 votes right after. But I take it back, this is a really towny vote. He even keeps his progression on the lead wagons (Mac and Epi) consistently defensive, when he could have just lumped onto a lead wagon. (Of course this changes if Epi/mac is a wolf, because he chose one wolf over another and it loses its muster)


Pops in and votes Epi on ‘vibes’ yesterday. Nothing to go on there.

At first glance, Wilgy is walking. He could easily be a deep wolf, but it’s such an unnecessary bussing he did on his two partners Nicole and Trekkie that it feels like a stretch. Especially as he isn’t attempting to boast about his cred as such. But I can see it.

Kinda just want to see Epi/pyxxy go first. Would like to flip Epi because that has some associating interest

Duelist Mirage gets an origami statue for being one of my first townreads (Day 0 not included)
Jess gets an origami statue for generally sounding town
leetic gets an origami statue for surviving the wolf pushes
MacDougall gets an origami statue ONLY if he posts on this page
Nutella gets an origami statue for the Nicole push

So basically origami statues for everyone except POE and Rondo!

[RondoDimBuckle]

Rondo offers a place for @MacDougall to sit and goes through the aforementioned steps to provide him tea in this a restful place. But leaves the tea chosen on the table with the pot, it reads the flavour with your focus on nutella does that mean you trust @leetic now?

Rondo bows to his mentor, an elderly man watching via satellite televised from a bullet train @Golden (probably bald with a fumanchu), to show humility. "Sensei." waiting for the nod of approval he hoped desperately to see.

[GoSpursGo]

*bow* thank you sensei. This world is not boring, it is vibrant as the fields of hyrule, as the crags of death mountain, and the depths of lake Hylia

The skies turn grey this morn with sorrow for the loss of the most innocent of all in the Imperial court. Shogun Ashikaga has issued a decree of mourning on this day.

Our elder sensei Golden shall conduct the last rites. I bow in respect to him and rest my katana briefly at the entrance to the shrine, ready to take it up again soon in pursuit of the wolves who have caused this tragedy.

I cannot speak for the spirits of our nakama gims, but I am finding it rather distressing that with all the talented members here in the Imperial court, the night has yielded nothing but sorrow. None were able to redirect or emulate the murderous wolf who snuck through the halls with malevolent intent. I worry that perhaps it means our blades of suspicion are pointed the wrong direction, but unfortunately we cannot coordinate in the dark of night to know where they even were. My honor demands persistence, and yet I feel unease.

I had that thought as well, though it was pointed out that Michelle could not target pyxxy again. I would expect that pyxxy would not be carrying the kill last night, and it may be that the redirectors just don’t agree with our poe or didn’t pick the right one

Hard to say

[Duelist Mirage]

Epi is a whole other thing tho, and I think he deserves some definite scrutiny

agreed

Aye. Specifically when Nicole starting getting votes, Epi voted DM and then tried to recruit Wilgy into swinging the votes.

Based on vote timing, he is suspicious.
Based on posting though, i don't think as mafia Epi would be this obvious? He strikes me more of a teammate bussing kind of player.
No mention of Rondo is also weird. At that time DM-Nicole-Rondo were tied 3 votes each.

After the vote, Tranq gave this half-assed assessment of me!

The first underlined bit mischaracterizes my brief interaction with Wilgy.

The second underlined bit is demonstrably untrue across the span of 13+ years. But if Tranq believes this, then would I not have cast a vote on NicoleandDimed and called it a day?

I have no idea about the last comment. "No mention of Rondo is also weird." I haven't talked to or about most people.

You are a half-assed assessment!

Real questions:
- First underlined bit: How did i mischaracterize your brief interaction with Wilgy? And if i did, what is the real way it's meant to be read? What would your take be if you saw someone post the same thing you did?
- Second underlined bit: This, coupled with the sentence before which you didn't underline, is me thinking why you would NOT be a Nicole teammate. Mind you the last time i played a game with a mafia-Epignosis was Game of Champions 2019 (!!!), in which you did a good job bussing teammates. So that's my thought process. For science: Can you tell me how, as a Nicole teammate, you would handle your own vote at the time Nicole started getting votes?
- Last comment: Rondo was tied with Nicole and DM. At that point is it not weird to not give thoughts on all 3 when casting your vote?

I didn't try to "recruit" Wilgy into doing anything, you corn flake. I was amusing myself at 2am after working all day.

I don't even remember the 2019 GoC (no offense, LC). I even pulled it up and looked it over. I did a good job bussing teammates? I almost never throw teammates under the bus, which is why I underlined what I did and reacted accordingly.

I don't always look at the poll when I vote. I don't care who is leading, who isn't, etc.

This response by Epi does not strike me as an honorable, above-board attempt to explain his actions. He is trying to suggest that he wasn't actually paying attention to what was going on and this his actions should not be judged. However, is this really what it looks like?

Good morning, I only realized that this started earlier today.

My bad.

My name is DrWilgy and I am most definitely a doctor. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Ahahahahaha! ha ha!

I have already exposed you! You are not a mouse man!

oh shid waddup.

Correct. I am a Mouse Household. There's quite the distinction.

Very well Mousehold.

I intend to save my own skin as well as I can today, so I will be leaving yours alone. FOR NOW! FOR NOW!

In fact:

[VOTE: Duelist Mirage] aubergine

Dr. Wilgy... if you are in fact a doctor...

ahhhahaha....

... you and I could swing thing vote ourselves! What say you?

@RondoDimBuckle will you be here around EOD?

I'm still a couple of pages behind. Definately not voting Duelist Mirage though.

WHAT?

Why not?

And then after prodding both Wilgy and Tranq about voting me, he vanishes for the night and they help send Nicole over instead.

[VOTE: epignosis] aubergine

My katana cannot overlook this reckless behavior so long as wolves yet remain stalking the Imperial court.
