he's neither lol i think he's obv vanilla town trying to bait

or maybe scum trying to look like VT trying to bait

but 0% town PR zero imma eat a sandal yeah

nope and I also lied about having given out a role n0

I gave rondo the cop checks last night

Why is he alive if he claimed role giver? :think:

I can think of a few reasons - because he would have given away the roles even if he got killed? Because WIFOM? Because he's actually faking it or bad?

Do you have a reason in mind?

Not a hard push just an obvservation

If scotty was in fact awol for eod they couldn't have dogpiled him, not enough votes

So yeah, I think we're on a good track

If mac claimed PR giver why isnt he dead amd Dunya is?

Man whats going on with the PR stuff...

Cool stuff. I have little to add. I had done my own glance through Scotty spew and have come to similar conclusions, so I think the collective PoE is a good one.

So it wasnt a coin flip that killed Scotty, your vote didnt count?

Was anybody else aware of this at the end of the day? I didnt see it mentioned.

He made 100 posts d1 so his vote counted

Yeah, the PR stuff.

Rondo, did you or did you not receive a role last Night? I didn't see a firm 'yes' or 'no' unless I'm blind.

I think falcon is towny for referencing host communication. I skimmed the OP and theres no rules against it so oh well

TSP feels scummy so i think hes town

Mizery feels really scummy to me based off day talk / how safe they are staying. The d1 wagon situation make them look towny but if u ignore that and i think they have a self-preservation agenda

That said iss cool if u chop TSP and im not suggesting mizery to be chopped early. Just throwin out my reads there, doesnt mean iss necessarily correct to make large change in course

Okay hear me out

What if its alison + motel room and she told him "ayy man its rough, we needa bus each other, send the survivor deep and hope to win, aint no way we surviving by defending or ignoring each other"

So you're sus of tuttu, myself, Mac, Scotty, JJJ, and dunya? We all have 86+ posts now, all likely to hit 100 before EOD.


And that's just based off your post cap sus, what are your other reads? Do you have anyone outside of the 6 of us in your sus pool? Who and why?

86+ isnt post cap, 99 is post cap and I dont know why you put JJJ in when I specifically said his post cap is excused? Its like you are wilfully misinterpreting me

Funny you say I'm misinterpreting you when I clearly said "likely to hit 100 by EOD"

Your reasoning for letting JJJ be exempt from your sus of post caps is silly, and I refute it on its merits, as LC was not a runaway wagon chop. He wasn't in anymore danger than several other players who have votes on them.

That whole strategy of scum hunting is lazy as well, as it picks out players who aren't as able to defend themselves due to the cap limit.

You didn't even answer my question of whonyout other scum reads are and why except to say "gut read interactions", which is also lazy scum hunting.

So both of your stated cases for susing players are lazy, which means I'm fine with Rondo, Dyson, Motel, Mac for my POE right now

You wasted your last post on this and didnt change your vote which means you want to vote dyson so this just feels performative

[/spoiler]
My post about Falcons 100th post ^ [Day 1 before vote finished]
Falcons 101st post ^ [For those who cant be bothered finding the stamps[ Day 2]
Falcon talking about how his 101st post being nullifying of his vote

I spoke wiht syn since we are allowed to fake/talk about host communications and asked if 101st post could be deleted and syn does not have permissions to do this so wouldnt. So, visa vi, ergo, etu, verbatim, ect, ad homonym


Falcon has been caught in a lie?

@falcon45ca

What's the lie falcon told?

Wait really? iirc he had 100 posts i checked the thread thingy. Lemme peep

Host posts say he had 100 posts d1 and his cao today is 200 so I don't think he went over yesterday

Master Radishes wrote: ↑Sat Aug 14, 2021 4:47 am What's the lie falcon told?

@Scotty, future reference mate: when you enclose something between "lol" and "eh" it looks like you mean something other than what you said.

exactly. and then turn around and do exactly that feels like mafia who doesnt have his agenda in one basket

are you happy with scotty's explanation now?

mac, give me some of your rum to numb this pain in my heart

I checked dunya's posts to verify that she had seen and acknowledged Mac's role claim, because as of right now she is the only person left (outside Dyson) who can still offer up a counterclaim, except she can't because she's dead.

As it happens she didn't say anything about it. She made posts after the claim happened, and she referenced Mac once as seen above. We kind of just have to hope she saw it and didn't refute because she was vanilla, because if she was the power role we're never going to know it.

I'm content enough to do that. I will consider Mac to be the power role still.

So massive that you are comparing other reads as to how they would work as my partner despite saying you havent really read the thread. You have absolutely come into this game with me as your target and seeing as I know thats wrong that's suspicious as fuck.

I have a lot of reasons to scumread you. Which ones do you find weak?

or because the mafia team did not believe the unprompted PR claim from the guy who makes wild and provocative statements all the time

motel room wrote: ↑Fri Aug 13, 2021 6:56 pm I dont know about the stuff Scotty did but "the slot" named dunya that accused me also was happy with my response. You think that's why she died overnight?

You have a very strong agenda here Alison. It feels like it doesnt match what you're offering.
I think the most negative thing about me is that I townread Scotty yesterday but yet that didnt come up here.

This bugs me. I mean, it's "caught for the wrong reasons" verbalized in a very literal form.

Pseudo-blind interactions



Green - doubt they're mafia teammates
Yellow - could be mafia teammates

~ First and foremost remember that each mafioso alive in this game currently has only one teammate, so that can impact and perhaps dilute the value of this approach. I did it anyway. I left off Rondo and Radishes because I don't think there was a bus vote. I left off Mac because of his claim.

~ This has left me with a bit more uncertainty than I started with, though not necessarily in a way I'd call concerning. I don't think my POE pool is likely to change much if at all. The people I already had town reads on were Mizery, NAA, and tutuu among this group. I'm not feeling like any of those is immediately problematic. NAA (and Nanook) come from a 451 culture of play that inherently renders this kind of solving less useful, because it leaves their posts a bit less thickly written and more emotionless. That's okay and works well within that style. It just lends itself to a bunch of yellows every time I try to do this. It's difficult to conclusively separate players the way that I tend to do so with that approach.

~ Alison doesn't have many good fits here that I can readily identify. I think an argument can be made to pair her with falcon or Dyson, and since there are only two perhaps the solution does lie in there. I do think, however, that this is a good reason for me to vote for someone else in the immediate present. I don't think Dyson is that likely to be mafia, and the team being exactly Alison/falcon isn't probable (in literal terms just by the numbers) -- it also lies in direct conflict with some teamwork I'd like to encourage here (e.g. NAA wants to murder one and protect the other).

~ Tony/falcon stands as one of the game's most obvious options, but similarly to Alison -- he's hard to find a teammate for if not falcon. His other fits are with my town reads. These combined points might point to a town falcon anyway. This isn't a confident matter and I wouldn't pull any of them from the POE pool -- but it might influence my sense of who should be the priority.

~ I'm coming around to motel room being a premier suspect. The Scotty interactions weren't conclusive and can be validly read to his discredit as easily as to his credit. During this process I also found a number of things in his posts that I don't care for right now. I will highlight them in a bit. This also happens to be nicely synergized to a view that Alison doesn't have great mafia fits, given that her own view of motel room is one of suspicion. She could just be right. However, finding a teammate for motel room is also not terribly easy. Nanook and Dyson stand in along with a bunch of town reads.

~ I could make the argument that NAA should be in the POE, but if I put him there I have to remove someone else. Perhaps that's the primary source of any new trepidation I feel. I'm not confident right now about selecting anyone to be that swap.

Anyway we have over 24 hours before the Day 2 deadline and plenty to talk about. Let's stay engaged.

Obviously I could also be wrong about a green block somewhere. If there are major disagreements then let's talk about them.

Alison could be mafia with motel_room

I think the correct play is to kill Alison, then sheep her read on Motel Room regardless of flip.

@NAA, I did consider giving that a more conservative read, so you could be right. I'm not sure I'd call it optimal for them (which impacts my view with Alison in particular), but whatever works is "optimal" enough.

I don’t think people play optimally.

I actually think that Alison’s scum read on motel room is more likely to be right if she’s mafia.

Alison W / W Motel Room

More likely than

Alison T / W Motel Room

If you think I'm scum bussing motel room just vote them. The game is unwinnable for a solo mafia Alison in this position if I bus my partner today so you should have no worries in that regard.

I'm at least enough on board that both of them are still POE regardless of flips.

I’m comfortable with my vote today.

The part that you’re missing in your statement about the game being unwinnable, is that it’s pretty hard for a team of Alison/Motel Room to win from here regardless of what you do.

Yeah so if it's Alison/motel room you win the game regardless of what you do and if I am indeed town you want to exe motel room first. You believe that motel room is likely wolf in all worlds (since you're planning to vote them out tomorrow regardless of my flip) anyway.
