@Epignosis please look at my post above and acknowledge it and respond ♡

dude! this is no joke. take it seriously and use more gifs and explain.

[Hyena]

How many cops have we had?

Quite a few. I'm not, like, an actual cop though. It just acts like one. Though, I'm debating whether I should full claim or not because if I do visit a scum, there's something else you'll need to know, and if I get cleaned, you probably won't know it until it's too late.

You sound like a Hider without the hiding

What's a Hider?

you hide in peoples houses. If you hide in a mafia house, they shoot you. If someone tries targeting you, they target our target instead.

[DaisyCloud]

is Epignosis some sort of executioner? 3rd party who has to kill their target and thst person changes everyday? or have they been targeting hyena all this time?

No, it's not anything like that. Let's just say there's a very good reason I wanted to visit you and Tim last night (with the assumption that you two were town).

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

can people talk to me about their long con v reads im not quite there yet

If maple is maf LC had a vote on xalt at a pivotal time

If maple is town this read goes away

They still voted a mafia dayvigi

A mafia day vig that could presumably dump both their shots before EOD

And was online between then and EOD

So not as locked if you aren’t mafia

Actually, that's not a helpful hint at all, really. =/

were you transported or witched and visited me instead?

[colonialbob]

I thought I had a self-resolving PR claim with evidence but it quickly turned out that apparently wasn't the case

(Aka if I become the next in line to be shot at I would at least appreciate the chance to claim)

Do not throw the ITA into chaos...if you got it, spill it

Sorry was legit trying to avoid the chaos. Failed. Not used to ITAs, clearly.

I'm a town backup, I grabbed Rej's role and targeted tedxtr and awesom-o last night. Figured somebody had to be around to use Xalts shot

Didn't want my claim getting lost in the hubbub since maf will have a list somewhere anyway. My sweet claim went away when cayvie called the shot on tedxtr, and tbh I don't really want to counterclaim the vig which is why I stayed quiet

Well I suppose that'll be your problem, not mine.

No, I intentionally ended up visiting you over the other two, because I really did want to meme. I also thought you were nearly confirmed town, which is the secondary reason why I wanted to visit you. Basically, you can count on me visiting only people who are nearly confirmed town, not people who can go either way.

Interesting

Were you looking for a green check on ted?

[DaisyCloud]

you can't do that. you need to pay attention. this is mafia/scum talk.

only reason yiu can go and not read rhe game and think Hyena is scum is you are some meme/gif posting executioner

[iaafr]

I hate when games get hard nowadays I just half expect to be losing to some deep scum we'll never find

whoever I suspect it is won't be it unless I stop suspecting them and then it's them

[iaafr]

gonna iso Keith and see if he had any other scumreads later lmao

[DaisyCloud]

BTW, Epignosis that only counts as 2!

[Hyena]

If it means anything, I'd expect this from Epi as either alignment, lol. Same with Wilgy.

[Timsup2nothin]

A'ight. Here's the deal Max...you just got traded to team Tim, and I'm the fucking manager. If you don't wanna read to figure out how that happened, fine. If someone here wants to dispute my claim, fine. But for now, no free wheeling. The catcher calls for a fast ball, you throw the fastball. Now, are you gonna be ready to start tonight? I've posted the batting order like a hundred times. Okay?

[iaafr]

Tim trying to speak baseball to epi is pretty funny tho I appreciate that

[DaisyCloud]

how come in the poll players are all different colours? what do they mean?

[Timsup2nothin]

is Epignosis some sort of executioner? 3rd party who has to kill their target and thst person changes everyday? or have they been targeting hyena all this time?

He's claimed to be town vig that killed the goose guy, near as I made out earlier.

Sorry for outing you Epi but shooting at Hyena has consequences.

[iaafr]

those are just syndicate user levels, mods and staff and such are the non greens

tell him imma gonna beat him with a bat if he doesn't.

I think he is scum and a lost cause. he owes me at least 3 more memes/gifs

ask him if there is a way to make him post by text.

[Timsup2nothin]

Tim trying to speak baseball to epi is pretty funny tho I appreciate that

Now here's a mystery for you dear Rabbit...

I'm calling you a one shot delayed action town vig.

I have two other claimed town vigs.

Collectively, our reads, as Sheep would say, just stink.

So how do I have three town vigs that ALL managed to hit wolves N1?

[mention]cayvie[/mention] [mention]Epignosis[/mention] [mention]iaafr[/mention]

[Timsup2nothin]

And yes I realize this is another complex question to answer in Maxese. Sorry.

[Hyena]

Okay, hold on. Epi, you really don't want to shoot at me during the night. I'd tolerate it during the day, but you could mess things up if you shoot me during the night. I want want to die, have my ability get shown, and go after the person I'm going to claim to have visited. And YES, I will be saying who I visit during the night phase.

Pretty sure we are past him shooting at you.

@cayvie @Epignosis @iaafr

cuz I sheeped silverkeith and general consensus for the na instead of following my heart, which has only ever lead to bad things

[DaisyCloud]

I'm so mad, Epignosis has made me go into desktop view on my phone. this is so wonky.

[Hyena]

I -don't- want to die, have my ability get shown, and have people go after the person I claimed to have visited**

In fact, I'll go ahead and say it right now. I'm going to visit Tim tonight. If he is town, then this is the most optimal person for me to visit tonight.

Got that. I mostly included you in the question because I want you to think about how weird that is, follow along when Cayvie and Epi answer, and help me sort it out. Statistically three vigs getting three good shots is not...expected. So are there more town vigs who haven't come forward because they took bad shots? What is the deal here.

[Timsup2nothin]

Okay...I think my services as translator are no longer required...can you pitch tonight, and are you looking at the batting order? If you aren't gonna read you are gonna end up beaning one of our own players here.

[Hyena]

The heart emoji's are bullet proof vests. You'll want to know if I die by visiting someone, because they will have a bullet proof vest regardless if they are town or not. (yes, Daisy has a bullet proof vest now)

Were you looking for a green check on ted?

No, I figured they were likely w/v and while ted was the more likely choice for wolf I could also see a world in which awesom-o shoots fellow mafioso for cred knowing there's no way xalt lives at that point (iirc).

Follow the batting order from ITAs and you are gonna be the star on team Tim. If you miss I'll take the heat.

[iaafr]

honestly ephs role existing isnt hard confirmation that logics info is bad... couldve been a different source i guess... just feels occams razor like it came from ephs role (sends a message to any player at night that appears to be a mod message)

keith was scumreading sheep and side eyeing tim?

but im too deflated from incorrectly killing poison to push anything of that sort now, so lucky town if these 2 tinfoils are wrong, lucky tim if these 2 are right

When you two get done chewing this over can I get a summary of the results please, preferably with a copy of the relevant flip. Sorting out Epi and restraining myself from just raging at Rabbit has worn me out a bit...plus I need to eat.

[sabie12]

Okay I feel a little better now. Just kinda caught up. Looks like ita was not super successful hit 2 town? Not ideal but I was iffy about tenthousandcalories too

Epi is talking through ESPN interview mode and that's pretty great.

[WerewolfHunter]

This baseball stuff is quite entertaining

[DaisyCloud]

last I checked I can fire you, trade you to some backwards team no one cares about. do you wanna go play in the minors? am I speaking your lingo?

from what I'm taking away from what you are saying is you just did it to do it. you can make people miss. stuff like that.

listen i can't 100% town clear anyone tho. I can be wrong and accidentally kill town. so can any town. you need to post why you do something. last I check baseball like the game mafia is a team game. if you are town then get with the program.

[WerewolfHunter]

I'm also kind of annoyed as iaafr shot two town successfully

[Timsup2nothin]

but im too deflated from incorrectly killing poison to push anything of that sort now, so lucky town if these 2 tinfoils are wrong, lucky tim if these 2 are right

Rabbit, look, this is how I play...I'm wolfy as hell, then I finally have enough info to go on I run the show until I win (as a wolf) or I die (as a town). Tinfoil me in a couple days if you have to, but I am a lot bigger threat to the wolves than I am to you so I am just gonna get silenced and vigged at and NKed and whatever until I'm dead...and then you are gonna miss me.

[sheepsaysmeep]

game is in a really weird place where i feel like we are nearing mech solve

but also when i look at the poe all this mech results in im not particularly inspired with confidence at all
