Like wow I sure hope there isn't a miller in the game, that'd really suck for them not being able to claim like millers normally should and it's even a death miller so how the hell would we even have any idea if they flip wrong aaaaaaaaaa

And forgers and janitors and surgeons and bus drivers and all this shit is just like ugh we aren't going to be able to trust basically any mech stuff are we?

And there's a 50% chance of it being multiball so that'll make dayplay reads even more unreliable too!

I think I'll just go back to roleplaying

too agreeable. Duelist’s post here also feels timid

Huh, I kinda expected you to have more of a reaction to that post, one way or another :/

I am now going to try to convince myself that you're being like this because you're sick, and not because you're mafia and it's multiball and we're doomed

Hi fellow trainer! I saw you from across the road, and I need your help!

Pikaaachu!!!

Did you say... multi ball? The only multi ball I know are pokeballs, greatballs, ultraballs, and the super rare masterball! Are you also trying to catch them all?!?!

gims wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2026 5:37 am well I think I'm down to just trusting vivax, scotty and tranq

honestly want to townread duelist but her multiball point + approach to me felt jumpy yesterday so I'm backing off from townreading her for now

her leetic vote seems fine tho

nutella is finding her footing still which is pair of the course for her towngame but its early and she becomes obvious later on so im holding onto that

still not really feeling nicole, i guess her leetic sus is okay but she is reminding me a bit of an old scumgame of hers

game too large and i dont have many townreads

push comes to shove im sheeping scotty and maybe nutella if i feel good abt it

DM feels super town imo.
I super get the antsiness over the anticlaim stuff and this is town!DM besides it

Is this townread predominantly driven by meta?

I initially found her scummy because of the focus on mech from the jump (I tend to be much more of a social solver), but it's conceivable that's actually necessary in this game.

Porscha wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2026 6:18 pm everybody is kind of melting together in my brain
I love nicole but I worry she is wolf just from like the silly gif when she wasn't townread which is not a good reason but I don't have much else rn anyway lol

thought whoever i was talking to about multi ball was kinda wolfy for suggesting there may be multiball which is why I responded to that post
I didnt get my answer cuz I didn't really ask directly enough thru my roleplay but, my concern was that it was brought up cuz they thought the person who scumread me was like, wolf, but also I was wolf, but for ?? reason they didn't assume it was w/w interaction

however the other person asked more directly and I suppose the answer provided that the idear came from the stark contrast of tone difference perhaps playing into the read due to potential multiball is like. good

nutella wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2026 10:24 pm because it just kinda is

very slightly but for jess's style in particular

plus nicole was weird about it, not assuming they're w/w or anything but just saying i saw where leetic was coming from

Obligatory explanation that I do a poll on D0/D1 every game and it's NAI. But I would point out that I have a decent amount of game-relevant content--do you have any thoughts on those?

nope. to be honest i actually remembered absolutely zero of ur posts even though i had just read through the entire game and that lack of memory in tandem with ur vote both contributed to my vote

do u think leetic is mafia? who is ur strongest suspicion right now.

This is entirely on me though. Where’s uP or Enchant to say “skill issue” when you need them?
Having time to keep up helps as well instead of catching up constantly over morning coffee and dinner lol

GoSpursGo wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2026 12:41 pm leetic could be mafia. I have recently found that I tend to latch on to scum reads early on day 1 for reasons that wind up being NAI, and so I'm making an active attempt to try and pressure some of the lower voters into interacting. Among the players with fewer posts, I read leetic's vote on nutella and token shade at jess as feeling like scummy low-effort interaction.

Admittedly, this post doesn't look good either. Just say you'll be unavailable, no need to LARP about how the wolves would totally be destroyed right now if you were around

It would not be DM or Nicole I know that buuuuuuuuut at the same time I could see the angle on either of them but I don’t wanna cause they’re the only players I can actually read, and I mean that as presently in this game and not just in general

This phrasing -.-
They‘re the ones you can read but if you could read them mafia you wouldn’t because they‘re the ones you can read.

Seems like a circlejerk argumentation.

Sorry for the run-on.
Yes pretty much that. But in between town reading them and not wanting to scum read them, I can see a world where they could be mafia.
It’s like they’re on a scale that’s close to being level, and it could lean towards scum, but I think (along with my previously stated bias) it leans town.

Trekkie99 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2026 10:01 am But like how the scale is metaphorical, the scum DM and/or Nicole world is theoretical. In reality, I think this a town world

i need more posts from michelle to have a confident read on her but this post + the one i just quoted both feel like red flags to me insofar as it feels like she is trying to come off as super agreeable lol

I do see a stark difference with his approach this game vs the last World Tour game, where he was a perverted tube train. It’s so stark of a difference I just want to trust it this game

jess wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2026 1:11 pm like when michelle is town im used to her kinda taking on the role of an inquisitive detective who kinda just does her own thing & is really cynical/skeptical of other players

michelle going out of her way to post nice/friendly intro posts and then being like "we need to find a mafia today then" just rings kinda forced/insincere, like michelle is putting on a front

idk if i can explain it better than that because it is very specific to my meta on her lol
