Parse that, detectives.

What is Arnica gel?

Don't make be Ask Jeeves yo

Also, JJJ is prolly town right now

Arnica is a money-sink placebo-like supplement of essential oil stuff that my mom won’t stop buying and gifting me to help control weight loss/stop cancer/brush teeth/enrich life.

I’m still not sold on JJJ being town. He will sort himself

Is

Princess Abbi (not Sophia) is hitting some notes. Not quite as bouncy and post-county as I associate with town, but almost there.

TSP pushing against voting the counter wagon to himself is a choice. Definitely something I would do as wolf to appear town, but is that something he would do?

Well now I’m pushing it as a wagon but I hear what you’re saying about it.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2024 6:19 pm**

@Abigail Sophia i saw you don’t usually respond unless spoken directly to- I have no desire to vote you today.

But I am curious how you usually approach mafia- do you tend to follow people that have conviction of other people’s guilt, or make your own personal cases against people?

I've noticed several meta reads from you thus far. How reliable do you feel meta is in general?

I would say meta is "fine" as a tool, and it's especially necessary in a game where face value judgments are hard to come by (for lack of content). It's flawed and only as useful as its wielder's Mafia memory is accurate.

What is my read on the game?

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2024 6:30 pm**

I'm going to be straight:

I have no clue about this game. My reads do come from my brain, but they feel barely better than arbitrary. I am not even close to finding comfortable footing or knowing what I am doing in this thread. While that is attributable to some degree to the state of the thread itself, I am probably also tired, old, and out of practice.

A more courageous set of reads, still one-two town reads short of a locked game if it's correct. The reads here are basically just "yes" and "no" binary with no further nuance.

Simon made one post I found suspicious: Click here

AS isn't "suspicious". I have no read whatsoever. She gets a "no" in a POE solve.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2024 7:15 pm**

@falcon45ca, I only see one concrete read among your 28 posts (suspicion of motobot). You've asked many questions, so where are you landing at this point?

Going by your no/yeses and also your general statements of coherent game relevant information, even if I think you shouldn’t be saying them (including the phrasing of the recent post about falcon and questions)

I feel fine to call you town, TSP, scotty for now

I'm fine to vote Abby, enough folks find her sus that it can't be just wolves pushing that narrative

Simon is also a fine option

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2024 7:59 pm**

We have two hours.

Remember per the rules that ties are not randomized. They’re probably best avoided.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2024 8:00 pm**

@LoRab reminder that each day phase has a five post minimum per player.

No one has broken my tie split and we are down to the last booblibops of day.

If there are three mafia, a random vote would have a 23% chance of killing mafia.

My mental model of the game arbitrarily estimates a 35% chance of PA flipping mafia. Everyone else would be less. Poopy, but there you go.
