Would expect more from Golden. "A great catch", really? Glaringly ovbious and classic I'd say.

Anyways, people are biting. Rawr.

When does day end?

Day ends on the evening (eastern US time) of the 14th.

Under the circumstances it'd be ideal if you'd explain "five scum" and also name the three scum reads you referred to before.

I will say though that Golden's guesses are at least reasonably close all things considered. Once I have had a few opportunities to utilize it myself and get acquainted with the effects it creates, I might be more inclined to talk about it. We'll see.

JJJ faking having the map is a decent towntell for me on top of fairly good engagement/content so far.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Guys I think I'm feeling severe burnout. The act of compiling posts and dividing quotes and answering questions is feeling like a chore. I might need the occasional pick-me up motivation. Keep me engaged, I'm fading fast!

Hopefully some reactions stands out. I'm not dumb enough to slip for real in that way. It's a rather classic way of fake slipping. Did the same thing in one of my recent town games on my home site, same number even (HOW CONVENIENT).

Let it rain! Let it ooze from your pores! Let it smother the unfortunate souls of countless players who signed up for this simple game of mafia!

I would absolutely love to see a link to this recent town game, ideally the same post. Please, please, please give me that before you depart for the night.

Golden isn't a scum read?

Nachomamma8 wrote:Why is Marmot a townread?

Because he pretended to have the map before anyone else did. I appreciate the cover.

This is to say that it is possible, under certain conditions, for me to not have a town read on Marmot.

It is possible that he did it in the hopes that a noob with the map would have disputed his claim and painted a target on their back. Probably way too obvious a play though.

Plus what are the chances a noob would have gotten the map? Still a scum Marmot could have anticipated that sort of bolstering response from a veteran such as yourself to help him appear as town. I like that theory more.

What did you hope to achieve with it?

I'm not really that bothered about your expectations of me. I haven't played very many closed role madness games and they still have plenty of surprises for me. I might be innovative but that doesn't mean I imagine everything that others think of. When quin posted about a slip it felt like an epiphany.

Fredwood wrote:Seems like an odd thing to slip up on. I can't really be sure because I don't have an expanded Dossier on anyone particularly Dyslexicon. Seems odd that literally nothing else they posted took anything seriously then all of the sudden they post game relevant information that would get them lynched. It just appears counter intuitive to the representation of their character.

Again, the lack of experience forces me to defer on this argument. I probably shouldn't apply logic based on personal experience to people I've never met.


As to Sorsha, the comment barely registered at the time as anything signifigant, but since it gives us something else to talk about, I guess it serves a purpose, still think it was a joke. As someone who posts a lot of jokes that people don't register I am sympathetic and perhaps too lenient in my view of failed attempts at humor.

I have done an intentional fake slip before.

But my goal was to get lynched. I can't say the same for Dizzy.

Hang on. I'd rather hear dizzys explanation of his motive first.

What makes you think I don't have the map? And do you have a preconception of my playstyle?

Because I don't think it makes sense for the map holder to be the first to claim to have the map. Kinda bad play IMO. And No to the latter.

I strive to not make too much sense. It keeps things interesting.

Clearly I'm not the only one. I was entrusted with enough votes to receive a map.

How, can the reactions be read into? Can you elaborate?

So we're you doing it for the "lol" or for "reactions can be read into" and if the latter, what do you read into the reactions you've gotten so far?

P.S. Anyone know why I have to hit submit twice sometimes?
