Me neither.
Every time I vote someone I start thinking of all the reasons it could be wrong.

I've had Jack more or less locked in as town since these posts: I think this brief emotional outburst (headwall emoji; vehement dismissal of multiple voters) does not exist unless Jack's convictions are completely honest. That's not just his conviction about nutella's alignment at the time, but also his own conviction that he's coming from a true and honest place. It reads as genuine frustration in a way that I don't even think would occur to a mafia player to fake, if mafia Jack would even be inclined to fake an emotional outburst like this in the first place.

I think [mention]JaggedJimmyJay[/mention] asked about this.

Jack is a pretty simple read. If he makes you smile he's town.

My gut wants less jack in my life, jack

That’s not how odds work.

Your gut is wrong. I’m clearly fucking town here and I’m clearly right on Nutella, too.

The idea “I like the Jack voters. Therefore, Jack is bad” is like a level -3 thought.

You arent serious? Jack is hostile as scum all the time. He becomes Brightburn.

Like what?

Going hard on anyone D1. Backing off Nutella.

We’ve been over this.

I don't associate that with any particular version of Jack. I do associate being overtly serious, having a harsh tone and a lack of joyfulness as being your scum game and it is here in spades.

Bullshit.

It’s like you remember and don’t remember your own game as is convenient.

Wtf does this even mean?

It means I was exactly as serious early on in that game as I am now. Your read is nonsense.

What game am I talking about? Because it's all of them.

Australian mystery. I was serious from the word go. Plus I’ve probably told at least ten jokes here and said “lol” in a third of my posts. Your read on me is fake and it’s telling that your opinion on me as a player (not as a player in this game) keeps changing.

Idk who Brightburn is.

My mind is far from made up at the moment. It would help if you could identify a few town reads that you have so far in this game.

tony because he is way more involved and trying to appear civ when he's mafia from what I've seen.
Juliets seems like she's been putting in effort and trying to figure things out.
Epi seems like his usual.
You now that you've gotten more into the swing of things.
Ted seems okay so far aside from being a little less talkative than I've seen before.
Dom seems more towny this game to me.

I'm back.

[mention]sabie12[/mention] did you see the question I asked earlier about what scum games of mac's you are comparing him to here? I didn't see an answer but maybe I missed it.

We have just under 2 hours.

Now I like sabie.
Is Mac or Jack a good lynch?

[mention]TonyStarkPrime[/mention] I saw your response but you never answered what you thought about my response to your suspicion. That's important to me. You don't have to respond until after EOD, I just didn't want to lose track of it.

I could lynch Mac. I think lynching Jack is a bad move.

Jimmay? Sloonei?
Some lurker like Tranq?
Why is it so hard to find a good lynch target with so many scum in thread?
Have I just been buddied by Radish?

Sloonei are you seeing bad Mac or just not seeing good Mac? It's probably in your ISO but I've been in too many ISO's today and it's drowning me in a river of words.

How do people feel about Michelle? She's been low impact imo.

I had one particular issue with Mac that makes no sense to me if mac is a civilian. Other than that he's a shrug. I am colossally inept at reading MacDougall and his big D.

Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 6:53 pm How do people feel about Michelle? She's been low impact imo.

There was talk earlier of a case about her that I never saw come to fruition. I've not seen anything that makes me want to lynch her.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 6:26 pm What game am I talking about? Because it's all of them.

Just as you are not binary, neither is Jack. The notion that he doesn't goof off as a bad guy is hard to take seriously.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 6:54 pm I had one particular issue with Mac that makes no sense to me if mac is a civilian.

Could you reiterate which issue this was?

I would be interested in [mention]nutells[/mention] take on Mac during her lynch, if she is around and has a dead post to spare.

My suspicion of Mac was based on his behavior during her lynch, and reading back, his progression seemed pretty natural to me. It did not have the baddie stink about it.

I should be back in about an hour, maybe less.

The "joke" about Dragomir last night. I'll pull it up in a minute or ten. Working on something else at the moment.

Am I easily manipulated if I say this?
Mac saying he would be sad if he was lynched. Would scum say that? If you're scum and you're lynched, that is warranted. If you're town though, you have reason to feel sad (above other feelings like annoyed or something).

This probably sounds dumb, but I go after tells that sometimes others thinks are weird. It worked with Nanook.1

Pretty sure Nut already read Mac as scum. As does Sig.

I'll speak in case she is out of or low on ghost posts: she voiced suspicion of Mac before she was dead. You can piece together her perspective around that point in her post history.

There are players for whom I might think this read is worth considering. Mac is not one of them.

What is Sprit's meta? Is he a good lynch or no? Cause he's under the radar as fuck to me, and his posts makes no sense to me, also don't love the way he votes off wagon.

I was thinking of world asunder and the fallout game. In the fallout game he was on my team so I felt like he's been acting similar here in this game. As opposed to when he's been town like in all my circuits.

I oppose a lynch of Turnip Head or Jack.

Ok. That does make some sense. Maybe Mac is just scum. This kind of angry vibe doesn't read like how I've seen (town)Mac in the past actually.

I know that; I meant the wisdom that coems from the afterlife. I love this mechanic! I want someone to use it lol. Lots of games after I die, it all seems so clear

I just clicked his ISO to see how I feel. Without looking, y'all guess how many posts he has made?

It'd be really cool if I wasn't the centre of discussion. You're not going to lynch mafia without entertaining other lynches I assure you.

Oh, I missed that. I did a targeted read today to catch up. Thanks.

I would still vote elsewhere, tbh.

I could get behind sprit, I hate his vote for Nanook. Anyhow, back shortly.

Looks like it’s occasional phone posting and pretending I know what’s happening then

[VOTE: Sprit] aubergine

But I want to hear people's take.
