is it because you don't know how to react to pressure without vomiting your emotions all over the thread?
did I hit the nail on the head?
do I get a gold star?

I know this is a struggle for you but try not to be a dick

please, I am far from the old Wisp, that was the kindest I could be without coming off like an ass
I believe it still stands, people need to learn how to handle pressure better, regardless of their alignment
not to mention this is a joke coming from you, given how you tend to deal with pressure as a mafia

ill take a look at once point, I'm trying to finish stuff up
the only thing that comes to mind off the top of my head is like Epi?

I can't be the only one that thinks his posts are kinda forced?
but you guys are the ones with meta on him, so maybe I'm wrong

Nanook is NAI all around, if you wanna call him town-lean out of personal preference, w/e
Sabie has 12 posts, and they bring nothing to the game at all

I'm probably wrong about one of the no-posters, but there isnt much I can say there, till they actually do stuff

Tony claimed miller, but like it stops meaning anything after 4 people hard claim it?
still debating if his nervous tone in regards to pressure is townie or wolfie

P.S: Y'all need to chill, everytime I try to submit there are more posts

I mean uh

When I’m Mafia I tend to lash out at pressure in certain player lists because it’s effective, not bevause I can’t help myself. In other player lists I respond differently.

But yeah what I’m saying is that there’s no actual point to saying what you did, it doesn’t progress the game state, all it serves to do is be rude to LC.

I was going to go to bed but I was suddenly struck by the thought that if nanook was going to fake performing a reaction test to imitate himself gamesolving, he'd probably choose something other than the potato soup reaction test purely for optics reasons alone. He's also clearly aware that very few people agree with this kind of read and/or care about his ideas about how to gamesolve when he does stuff like the potato soup tell. I feel like if nanook was mafia he'd choose something that allowed him to influence town's opinion with his read.

I don't know if I have seen that, but I wouldn't put it past him. I have seen him do real reaction tests as a civilian. I'm not sure I'd call potato soup a reaction test lol, but it doesn't bother me.

I have 0 doubt that it is well within nanook's scum range to pretend to do a reaction test when he is scum. (For lack of a better word, that is what I am calling his read in the context of this post.) I am more interested in whether or not he's likely to choose this reaction test specifically to fake. For the reasons I mentioned, it is on the face of it more advantageous for scum nanook to choose a less wacky reaction test to fake. It allows him to justify and springboard his narrative off of it, and is more likely to convince town that he's gamesolving.

The following is a list of reasons why scum nanook might theoretically choose the potato soup test to fake.

1) He knows it's the kind of thing he does as town all the time and thinks people will townread him for it.

2) He predicted that me or someone like me would believe that he is less likely to fake a potato soup reaction test, and is trying to get townread off it.

3) It is a less "logical" reaction test so he has to work less hard to justify whatever reads he wants to fake having as a result of it.

I think knowing how often he has faked reaction tests as scum affects how I view the possibility of 1) and 2).

Potato Soup reaction test? What the hell?

I'm done. I am obsolete.

I've seen the term "potato" before but thought it was some sort of joke (i.e., a riff on "couch potato," perhaps). Now it's a term that MEANS something tactical in Mafia? Time to retire and move back to Florida.

Do you genuinely think that people are more likely to read your posts when you use a lot of all caps and post walls of text about how JJJ is definitely scum?

I think you know very well that people just skim over the specifics of posts like that and just leave with the general impression that LC was violently attacking JJJ without thinking too deep about the details of how and why it happened. Which is why I'm starting to suspect that it is W/W.

I'll take it. Lynch him first though.

A JJJ lynch is not going to materialize in the near future because he is being widely townread. I think you know this. If JJJ is your mafia buddy, you want me to push him because you know nothing will come of it. Instead I am going to push you.

Alison just accused you and LC and then voted for LC while acknowledging that nobody was coming for your head.
