So I, as Nutella and Sheep's partner, let sheep flip for "reasons" instead of contesting the poll?

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 2:53 pm**

Again, make sense of Nutella's teammates outside of TSP to me, and then I'll proceed with the vote.

what do you mean? the poll here shows that you couldn't have contested the poll even if you switched off of my song

I worry that I have SPF and Nutella flipped though.

hmm i do wish i could see specifically what the poll looked like when you made this vote

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 3:22 pm**

because it's true that lorab and cape were voting nut and sheep's song respectively at the time

so your vote at that time might have put my song in the lead

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 3:26 pm**

anyway if you are town then i think that: "who is nutella's partner?' is a pretty valid question to ask

if you want me to be honest with you, i think it could be cape.

Yeah I am fine with this, she is the towniest of the 3 even with everything I said

he didn't actually switch to my song until the rest of the living players already had. prior to that, he was voting for nutella's song to win

it's true that cape has pushed on nutella a decent amount this game, but i'm not sure i consider this to be clearing

if nut really is mafia then her partner is surely aware that my push on her isn't going to go away and that she has a high chance of dying at some point

so it would be smart to play in a way that looks dissociated from her, right?

to me, this would align with the way that cape has gone about pushing on nutella in a very confident and self-assured way without really seeming to show much doubt about it, but he also hasn't been particularly forceful or present in his bus?

the general cadence of the push does come off like a potential bus to me. this is why i said that i thought it was you or him

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 3:26 pm**

I was the 2nd to vote for your song behind Pyx pulling momentum away from 1up after Cape voted for 1up

Sheep wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 1:00 am very tenatively my gth reads are
wilgy
spf
tsp
lorab
cape
falcon
pyxxy
nutella

don't ask me about any of these thanks

i mean, we can see that sheep had nut at the bottom of his POE too, so if nut is mafia then it seems fair to theorize that her partners are playing in a way that is intended to create distance from her

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 3:28 pm**

Why is TSP not the obvious choice for Nuts partner here?

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 3:29 pm**

i'll grant that tsp could(?) be mafia but i haven't particularly found his posts to be wolf indicative

i thought lorab's conviction about long con being mafia a few dayphases ago was pretty real

i thought the way falcon went about navigating the last round of voting was pretty towny too

it like....wouldnt shock me if im wrong about one of these reads. i really have not been very invested in this game and my head isn't fully into it

but yeah, if youre town and nut is mafia then my guess is that the partner is cape

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 3:30 pm**

tsp has posted some pretty bad takes about me/nutella but he is at least trying to push the game in the direction of killing within us and reads as vaguely uninformed to me

i dont have much confidence about tsp being town but i couldnt say that i find him actively wolfy

he's just kinda there

by contrast, nutella has been openwolfing fmpov since the moment the game started

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 3:33 pm**

but okay wilgy, i can believe that maybe you really are town based on the way that you swayed the momentum toward my song. i did not notice that before

but listen....nutella is a free wolf pelt. she is one of the most obvious towns to ever town whenever she rands V, and she has not been towny at all this game. she has deathtunneled villagers and has seemed borderline frozen throughout the last fewp hases

and if she lives through today, then me and her are gonna deathtunnel each other again tomorrow. do you really want a repeat of that?

take the free wolf pelt and vote nutella out tbh

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 3:39 pm**

I've changed my vote. Will be skimming but not around much before flip.

I await @Cape90 @LoRab and @falcon45ca's wisdom. Please course correct me if I was wrong to do so.

My legacy still looks like:
SPF/TSP
SPF/Cape
Nutella/TSP
SPF/LoRab

In that order.

That's my explanation there and I didn't want to vote Sheep

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 3:54 pm**

If it's not Nutella, I am thinking SPF/TSP

If it is Nutella, well it is never SPF.
Could maybe still be TSP, would have to look back on that
Maybe LoRab.

Whenever I get the chance, which is gonna be like later the next game day, I will look

Unfortunate Update to Battle of the Bands

While we appreciate all the support and enthusiastic participation, we have unfortunately run out of funds. Stagehands need snacks.

Moving forward, there will be no more certificates to winning musical acts. Bands will be playing for pride and survival only.

Flip Lorab first robably , nutella chose not to drag Lorab into the battle at end of day 4

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 5:52 pm**

Obviously could be anybody

not actually sure who the other mafia is but game should be solvable

He came in several mafia days into the game, without any explanation, and just stated that he's obviously town--which, well, he isn't. Also, his early posts seem to not actually care about catching up with the game, but was feigning that--perhaps because he was getting a good review in BTSC.

I don't have time to fully think this through right now. But I'll be on tonight.
really don't like this post it feels slimey

Feels like distancing

yeah probably like
lorab
cape ~~ falcon
spf
currently but I don’t think anyone is below ten or above 40 in my estimation, might try to get more confident later

And I have no reason to change any of my suspicion.

At least for now [VOTE: TSP] aubergine

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 8:46 pm**

And RIP Wilgly. I shall work to avenge your death.

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2024 9:01 pm**

And, looking at possibilities:

TonyStarkPrime: Highly Suspect
LoRab: civ

Cape90: I think Civ, but possibly bad?
staypositivefriend: Strong lean civ
falcon45ca: Fairly confident is civ

And yes, I do hate these lists, but this late in the game is a different thing. We are presumably at 1 baddie, 5 civ. If we get the baddie this round, ideal. Even if we don’t, we still should have a next day, at 2 civ and 1 mafia. Assuming those numbers are correct (which I think, at this point, is a safe assumption).

I feel most strongly that TSP is bad. Second choice is Cape.

I know Nutella way better than Willy. And I have no idea what you mean by the second sentence.

ok 1 nutella is dead and 2 that wasn't the intended way that adverbial phrase was supposed to be taken

i guess nutella was still alive and potentially(?) had night action input which could skew the numbers a bit
