The Simpsons [GAME OVER]

[dodo]

I'm feeling good about Otto and slightly better about Krusty (and I was already a little better than null on him). I'm taking "coming into the thread purely to make Simpsons references" as a null behavior right now, because a lot of people have done that. I think I like Burns' excuse more than Skinner's - having account issues is something that is very rare for mafia members to lie about, especially in a game as chill and laidback as this one.

what kind of issues tho

surely the host tested the sockpuppets before doling them out

I have two messages i can't see so i'm forever stuck seeing the red number ''2''. It hurts me.

Literally driving me insane

[dodo]

I kinda think I know who Bart is too and agree they’re probably town

[Marge Simpson]

Lisa's probably my strongest townread right now. (And not just because she's my best friend.)

weird read. why was she your strongest?

[Marge Simpson]

Yeah, Lisa coming in and going "both of you are town" was what made me townread her.

why's it townie, though?

why not TMI? did those two give you such a strong impression that you thought her calling it out early was townie?

[Marge Simpson]

Feeling the same way with Burns saying his acct was messed up.

I lumped Burns, Skinner, Milhouse and Hugh Jass as the slanking mafia earlier then boom, both Skinner and Burns pop in with excuse posts.

Gross

Yeah yeah, you had the wolves just jump in your lap...you're a hero...easy game...now what?

Smithers, feed this carcass to the squirrels.

Alisson Taylor and Otto Mann are taking this game very seriously very early...I can't decide whether to sheep them or suss them.

This progression is kinda wolfy a lot more than it is townie, I think.

The fact that Burns replied that way to Otto as if he was town and then considering the possibility of them being scum can be TMI-y. I think the reaction isn't coming from a town perspective.

[Marge Simpson]

As in, Burns wasn't considering what Otto's alignment was when he pushed Burns for the slank and replied as if he had him as a town read.

Then takes a step back and tries to figure it out?

meh

Re: Bart's push on me. No, I'm not twisting your words. I interpreted them in the most commonsensical way. Others have said the same thing, that they found the discrepancy odd. I think you are going out of your way to try to find nits to pick at the point where you say that you found me waiting for Skinner townie but suspect that Skinner is my scumbuddy. Do you scumread Skinner? Why would you jump to that conclusion?

Marge: I don't think Lisa's read is TMI any more than any early game read is TMI. I thought the squabbling between the two of them based on getting/not getting a joke was pretty silly, and the stubborn/indignant way they pursued the convo was a good look. (Town are more likely to get stuck on something small and inconsequential early, scum tend to want to appease people and go along with the flow.) Lisa coming in and (successfully) breaking up the argument while calling both of them town matched my sentiments on the topic, and she could have easily let the argument spiral if she was scum. I townread her for that.

no urgency in posting to get heat off them, takes game at their own pace

dunno who the player is or if this applies but I'd say it's still a good look regardless of who they are

good enough for D1

[Marge Simpson]

What?

You think just because someone gets to the thread a little early and you got serious before you turned around twice they shouldn't get to shitpost?

In a game based on The Simpsons??

Where they have gone to the lengths of a Simpsons character sockpuppet account to play with???

You're lucky I stopped shitposting long enough to make this post...and mostly I'm only being serious because my dodgy internet has me in such an ill humor. If I get this shit straightened out I'll probably get right back into character and have you dumped in the green glowing pool out back.

probably the wolfiest post in the game

gave me a chuckle tho

I can roll with this

[Marge Simpson]

I wonder how Burns made a complete 180 on Otto man for...what I assume to be no reason. At least he didn't give any valuable reasons in thread, maybe he thought about it in his head, but from his posts, his switch makes no sense.

[Marge Simpson]

nvm I won't be there at EoD

I lied

[dodo]

I have a guess who marge is too and I also think they’re town.

Somebody tell me it’s a bad idea to make reads like this or I will continue to do so.

Same here. I'd say I'm glad it's not just me, but that means more are suffering unduly.

The reason I voted Grams is because of this post

I took it at face value being a shade because he had no previous thoughts on that slot. His other posts weren’t any good either and the tone was off.

The mentality behind this post is kind of weird, he’s shading Burns for it but doesn’t really care about his alignment beyond that. What reason did he have to doubt his claim here, if any?

Feels good enough for a D1 vote, haven’t seen anything villager-y since my return.

I still have no thoughts on the slot. A question is a question, I don't go into them with predetermined conclusions.

Could you explain what "180" you are talking about? I don't think I feel strongly enough about anyone to have a direction, much less have anyone I have felt strongly about in TWO OPPOSING directions.

Yeah, nevermind.

Skip the explanations, you're just day one grasping for straws.

EOD is in less than ten hours and you are reading "no urgency, doing their own thing" as town. Three gifs, two of which are in response to direct pressure, and you're "Looks good to me" about it.

i'm town reading them for not tailoring their posts to satisfy their pushers that demand better content

there's no urgency for them to get the voters off them, they're a lurker, they know what's coming for them if they don't improve. a scum lurker would just start solving in order to appease their voters.

if you disagree with that notion then perhaps you should look to do something more important with your time. I'm not arguing that he's locked town, it's good enough for day 1, the read can change. There's a 75% chance he's a town, your case is "he's doing nothing"

good luck convincing people with that one, pops

[Marge Simpson]

i don't get what's so bad about that read, at most it's =rand

do you have 12 confident town right now and that's why you're also pushing =rand reasoning on why he's scum as well? If not, then why should I scum read them?

[My Shell]

I kinda think I know who Bart is too and agree they’re probably town

Man now we are full on in the meta...

"look, we mind melded, must both be town"

...and you don't even know what you "mind melded" about or who you "mindmelded" with.

Hilarious.

pointing out how bad your read is seems like a perfectly good use of time to me

posting nothing or openly being defiant of the most simple of requests and just cruising in the background is either wolf behaviour or anti-town behaviour, and neither compel me to nod my head and go "this is good"

I don't get your insistence on turning it into an extreme. Yeah, anyone we pick will probably flip town... that doesn't mean our cases can just toss reason out the window. Homer might not be a wolf, he might just be town being anti-town. Okay cool, got it. Then why is your vote for me based on me asking Burns what issue they were having that took them out of commission for the early stretch? How is "I will not be playing this game despite me signing up and you asking me to participate" a good look that is good enough for D1 but "What problem did you have?" is this illuminating scum tell that must be chopped? The consistency and logic behind your positions simply do not parse, and telling me to go case other people is dismissive deflection.

shocking how I might vote for someone who posted an intro gif, dipped, people called them out, and they come back with what amounts to "no <3"

what value is this to town or to solving or to anything related to chopping wolves

[Marge Simpson]

idk what you're doing here

i am not even voting you anymore, by the way

is your only response really going to be "I'm not voting you anymore"

[Paprika]

[My Shell]

Smithers! Bring the big bowl!! We're making a salad!

People who seem active and worth keeping around:

Allison-plenty of pushy questions stirring up the town to see what falls out
Bart-fun gifs, but open called for activity...liked his direct interaction
ComicBook-kinda meh personally, but I'm not fighting Otto on this one
Grampa-feisty old man, but pushes seem to produce reactions so good for the town
Grumple-another meh, but again I haven't really looked because I'm not fighting Otto at this point
Krusty-making pushes, stirring pots
Lisa-not pushy, but weighing in...will probably be readable
Otto-most active and intentional mover and shaker in the thread so far

People who seem useless but not worth fighting with today:

Homer-has Marge in the "mind meld pocket"
Marge-married mindlessly to Homer

Maybe subbed so let them be:
Hugh Jass
Millhouse


Would chop:
Flanders-high certainty proclamation that I happen to know is dead wrong, no back up or reasoning, no other significant interactions
Skinner-"I'm done memeing now" and has done nothing since

[My Shell]

Ummm...what does "I backed off my vote on you so I hope you leave me alone now" look like here?

[Paprika]

I hadn't considered that Marge could just be roleplaying

[Fuskdall]

@Hugh Jass where you at

How come the old man even remembers Hugh but never Milhouse?

[Fuskdall]

And i think I've figured it out...

Worst. Newscast. Ever.

alright, used up all my show lore in the first two posts, let's go

Town

mafia time babiiiieeeeeyyyy

Howdiddly-ho syndicatoreenos.

Whoa man

I never liked comic book dude. He's like evil in a bad way man, I can tell by the mustard on his goatee

Town

yell at the kids or something

Scum

Can i go already? I am a real child, i don't own any guns and don't want to look at this poor animal.

Scum

Hey everyone

Town

Has anyone seen my saxophone? I left it somewhere around here, but then I got distracted by a game of anagrams and can't find it again.

Town

Good morning. I see some of us got the party started already. 1st thoughts...Marge has crocodile tears.

Town

Egads I got so busy and now my roast is ruined!

Unless.....

Excellent...Smithers, have the hounds run down these wolves.

Yeah, it seems a little too convenient.
Flanders and Skinner are getting a lot of attention, same with Marge. Lisa might be an outlier in that sense but the list and lack of build up to it. I dunno.
Feels like a great "let me hide behind my sheeped list" play.

Could be...but as a "whoa I have blown off the vast majority of day one" entrance it isn't totally bad
he at least weighed in (ultra lightly, but still) on everyone
I mean, if he had just come in and sheeped a couple reads that would have been worse

[My Shell]

Not gonna fight to save the guy, but I think the attention on Flanders and Skinner is well deserved and I'm staying in there.

But I'd be amused if the hounds got the donut eater and his blue haired mate.

Are you implying they're W/W? A bad read may be just that...why do you seem eager to put a player in a scum pile simply cuz' you feel their reads are bad? Also, how do you know their reads are bad? You may not agree with it, but at this stage you shouldn't have any real idea of what a good or bad read is

I haven't called or suggested that Marge is a woof

I say anti-town play is bad

someone goes "anti-town play is good, actually"

third person comes in and says "who are we to decide what is a good or bad read, really" (total nonsense and gives "anti-town play is good" a run for its money)
