yellow apples

btw before anyone comes for my neck, i checked with the host this was allowed

im voting scotty [VOTE: scotty] aubergine

now i read up

[dunya]

I don't like osie putting doom in poe as if she isn't pretty diddly darn confirmed at this point.

interesting opinion

i don't disagree, doom has been my top town read all game,

but how did you reach that conclusion? are you up to date on the game?

[dunya]

I gave you a powerful ring night 2 because I was townreading you day 2.

can you elaborate why you were townreading osie day 2?

[dunya]

Osie, here's my take. I can tell you the mechanic didn't work the way you say it did, because I'm not wolf but still did not receive a fruit message. There are 3 players who haven't posted at all, and screen did not make a fruit post (understandably they may be cleared via other means from earlier in game, but 100% has not referenced a fruit).

There does exist two niche mechanical ways this might be the case (really just one, since I know that a third way does not apply, and one of those ways involves Urist being relatively deceitful) but I'mma wait in part for other confirms and Scotty's flip, mainly because I think it is extremely unlikely due to Scotty's behaviour.

Jack, Martin, Marmot, Moonwink, Wilgy, and Srceenplay are fully confirmed. (Osie method)

I am pseudo-confirmed twice over. Doom is pseudo-confirmed twice over. (Osie method, Moonwink method)

I did miss a bit on individual confirms: Porscha and dunya are pseudo-confirmed once over. (Moonwink method) NAA is pseudo-confirmed once over. (By claim)

With consideration of subjective believability, that puts me at this for an ordered PoE:

Scotty
Creature/Porscha
NAA
dunya
(Doom)

There's enough confirmed town that even if that full PoE applies, it doesn't matter, and if any of Creature/Doom/dunya/NAA properly confirms, that narrows it down further. Doom is probably just town here anyways, and I doubt that scum Doom or scum dunya wins in XyLO at this point anyways.

There's still the possibility of an extra kill occurring, which makes things tighter.

However, if Creature, dunya, and/or NAA use the Osie-confirm (which even if Porscha is telling the truth still would apply, even in the awkward corner case), that lowers the PoE by one for each confirm.

And it's arguably bad for scum to kill outside of the fully confirmed list.

We'll see.

i actually regret going ahead with it now. i should have been skeptical when host allowed it.

there's no way the host allows something like this to be okay in his game, especially after a stern warning of us not giving letters of moonwink's message to us, if there's no loophole around it.

[dunya]

This game is on ez mode and I’m feeling pretty confident osie is also bad. NAA is my pick for the other one, but I could very well be wrong

talk to me about osie

[dunya]

scotty/doom were never gonna be w/w anyway

scotty has exhibited some serious frustrations at doom's tunnel imo, so unlike osie, i think she was out of scum rage d1.

if she is wolf, shame on me but not buying it.

Scotty is a wolf hopefully, if we are right the game will be very easy

[DrWilgy]

i'm mad for being targeted by an unreliable mechanic that I can't argue against when there's literally other entirely afk players to target harder than myself

[NotAnAxehole]

I don't know why anyone is talking about fruit.

@dunya what took you so long to get on the Scotty!Mafia wagon?

[srceenplay]

I have an idea. We can have NAA prove their role today on Scotty.

[dunya]

I don't know why anyone is talking about fruit.

@dunya what took you so long to get on the Scotty!Mafia wagon?

real life, buddy. and host is slow to answer questions but mostly i was busy yesterday.

Hey Dunya, did you get the ring I gave you as well?

[Porscha]

Porscha, tbf if you are town, we have several lynches to lose, and accepting that maybe a fate you must take.

yeah 100% that's true. I guess I just disliked the idea of it happening over a borked mechanic and not my low posting, for example. but I gotta cope lol

I don't like osie putting doom in poe as if she isn't pretty diddly darn confirmed at this point.

interesting opinion

i don't disagree, doom has been my top town read all game,

but how did you reach that conclusion? are you up to date on the game?

yes despite my low posting I have been reading and doing a lot of catch up during night periods when I inconveniently have more free time to play. but doom using their ring ability on screen to get the kill on HK doesnt seem like something a wolf would do in that spot. and since that time I haven't seen anything from doom that would lead me to believe they are being wolfy, especially since they also appear (at least sort of ) cleared by fruit mechanic today as well

I've got to accept my situation irl, and it's really tough rn. So I get how its hard sometimes

[Porscha]

I don't know why anyone is talking about fruit.

I have absolutely zero clue what the whole fruit thing is about.

Yeah that's a scumtell.

sick 'em osie

There's a group of players who are using an ability I'm not apart of where they believe it simply would out every wolf.

I got the message, but it seems you didn't.

The only 2 people in the game who didn't get the message were you and Scotty, there's only 2 wolves left.

That would be the logic

no but for real NAA this is the reference to the fruit thing

IRL ones are significantly worse, I wish you the best and hope you have support

[DaughterOfOmega]

Wildfire in my area, feels like California pog

[Urist]

The mafia team of Scotty and Creature have conceded, resulting in a town win.
More later.

[Porscha]

oh. pog. cool gg

[NotAnAxehole]

@dunya I told you about Scotty.

[Urist]

Also obligatory dunya was right about the message thing not being safe. The bus ring could bus the messages, resulting in one townie not getting a message and prob getting miselimmed.

[srceenplay]

So NAA is getting away with not proving their role again?

[Urist]

So NAA is getting away with not proving their role again?

LOL
the only way to prove his role was to risk a no-elim. not really worth imo.

[DaughterOfOmega]

Sorry to mafia, I've been mentally unwell recently. That just happens to be when I play my best as town.

[Urist]

Look at this amazing banner @Syn made. Thank you Syn!!!

[srceenplay]

GG everyone.
Thanks for the game Urist.
If you had made that a closed setup it might have been hard to break.

[Scotty]

thanks for the game @Urist

[Jackofhearts2005]

kiwiiiiiiii

[Moonwink]

GG, everyone! I don't really feel like I did anything this game after D1 aside from using Osie's strat for sending messages, so it feels weird winning.

Thanks for hosting, Urist!

[NotAnAxehole]

@Jackofhearts2005 did you figure out from my in-thread message that I gave you Cara?

[DrWilgy]

I deserved this win for educating my friends on the Icaco.

[dunya]

Sorry to mafia, I've been mentally unwell recently. That just happens to be when I play my best as town.

Gg! You were awesome. Did you get my n1 ring?

[fingersplints]

Good game all! And thanks for hosting @Urist! Congrats to all the winners!

[hollowkatt]

TY for Hosting @Urist!

[dunya]

yeah thank for the game @Urist !

[osieorb18]

Also obligatory dunya was right about the message thing not being safe. The bus ring could bus the messages, resulting in one townie not getting a message and prob getting miselimmed.

(Though for the record we did have the spaces to spare and scum would out that they had that ring, allowing me to adjust for that factor.)

[osieorb18]

Thanks for hosting, @Urist!

[Jackofhearts2005]

@Jackofhearts2005 did you figure out from my in-thread message that I gave you Cara?

Lol nope

[NotAnAxehole]

@Jackofhearts2005 did you figure out from my in-thread message that I gave you Cara?

Lol nope

I thought my Kara music video was too obvious I guess not

[Sabiplz]

OK read D1 from the newest of scotty mafia Rands because it should be more accurate.

This game he's been aggressive and shaking the table. Including like his other two town Rands.

His mafia rand is fluffy and doesn't try to make any waves with anyone.

Here are some of his posts.

I rest my case your honor.

Spoiler: show

I’ve been itchy and the only prescription is more cowbell rings

I intend to have 100% read accuracy this game.

Do me first

Do me third

Do me second

I’ve been itchy and the only prescription is more cowbell rings

My mind went to a different kind of rings

I…legitimately don’t even know what you’re referring to.

Like..Nuva rings?

Anyway, I’ve been waiting for some copy paste shtick from NAA in his first post like he planned when we were both mafia in the first roll but he’s not doing it here so he’s probably town lol

Or mafia with a WIFOM plush hat

But ima just gonna call him town

Anyway, the real question here is what’s wrong with becoming a ring wraith? They get bitchin capes. Can’t get that at Jc penny’s

I might have missed it in the rules- if someone sends a ring to someone else, do the “points” reset, or are rings only able to be used twice maximum in the whole game? And is the person notified what level of corruption that ring is at if they receive it?

That's why I compared it to Yugioh, the card game gained more popularity and overall success due to western audiences having quick access to the franchise.

but meh

Oh, I misunderstood you then, I think. D: Sorry about that.

Though, I probably should admit that I'm biased towards Pokémon stuff because I'm a furry and Pokémon has more cute critters than other anime franchises and card games had. That's why I can't say it's purely nostalgia for me -- I feel like I would have bought any game that's like Pokémon if it had cute animal-like characters in it. Things like Yugioh never seemed to offer that from what I had seen from the card game and the anime. D:

To be fair, Yugi does resemble a Pokémon

Imagine how much hair gel he must use every morning

I intend to have 100% read accuracy this game.

Do me first

Do me third

Do me second

Do me in bed

Like one of my French girls

Anyway, the real question here is what’s wrong with becoming a ring wraith? They get bitchin capes. Can’t get that at Jc penny’s

If you are dead you cant hold rings. The less people to hold rings the more oppertunity for scum to get all the rings.

I might have missed it in the rules- if someone sends a ring to someone else, do the “points” reset, or are rings only able to be used twice maximum in the whole game? And is the person notified what level of corruption that ring is at if they receive it?

My understanding is nothing "resets".
I thought corruption was per ring, but is it collective?

So corruption is per ring

Yeah there’s this role:
> **Celebrian**
> You are the tortured soul, the world-weary.
>
> **Passive**
> *Fading* - The first time you start the day with at least ten points of Ring-corruption, it will be confirmed in-thread.
>
> **Factional**
> *Free Peoples* - You win when all Agents of Sauron have been eliminated and there is at least one Ring in possession of the Free Peoples.
which confirms that.

I asked the host for clarification and corruption is individual, so if I use a ring once and give it to someone else, they have a clean slate with that ring, and if they were to give it back to me it would be at the level of corruption of which I last used.

So we should know exactly how much corruption we have at a time

I intend to have 100% read accuracy this game.

Do me first

Do me third

Do me second

everyone knows second is confirmed scum because "give me a sec" always autocorrects to "give me a sex"

Oh shot

good morning who's townie?

you tell me

It took me a moment to realize that Axehole was StarV, but yeah, the three of us had planned to do a copy paste thing where we all copy-pasted the same thing just as a joke kind of thing to keep our morale up. I doubt he'd do something TOO similar, but I am keeping an eye on his first post and the people responding to it (srceen, dunya, and you are the ones who responded to it so far).

This is a fun read.

What’s odd about this is that moonwink wasn’t even a part of that planned conversation if I recall, so for her to say the “three of us” is akin to scribbling in her hancock on the Declaration of Independence because she’s an American

good morning who's townie?

you tell me

I haven't read anything from over night

There’s like 40 posts and half of them are me, come on HK

I didn't think much of it, only that I liked the read. Not that it was good or bad, or meaningful.

This feels like appeasement. o: Almost like you're trying to avoid confrontation with either of us (me and Scotty, I mean).

If you never make any reads, you’ll always be 100% in read accuracy —Wayne Gretzky

NAA with 5d chess over here

Also hi moon- You are avoiding my comment about you

I'm a bit bored. Doesn't feel like the game is progressing.

I relate to this. Help me wagon Osieorb.

Why osie?

I'm not sure I care if you find it lazy. I find it useful and it works well for me.

If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of progress?

Spoiler: show

hollowkat

Idk but mafia prob something like

Moonwalk
HK
+1

Unless urist changed the makeup of the teams from last roll to this, there are 4 mafia.

Makes me really think you’re town for that reason tho doom

MacDougall is a player in this game.

He hasn’t even tried to CFD yet and we’re 15 hours into the game
