It seems fairly obvious to me from the way the OP is worded that there will be roles that do things like "protect everyone that visits a certain shrine" or "track someone who visited the same shrine as you".

I am going to just pretend there is no mech and play mafia until I am forced to understand the mech k?

Thats the approach I decided to take after my 3rd time reading the OP.

This might be just a me thing, but I always find it scummy when people focus on mech talk. It's like a way to look like you're playing and active, but they're not actually doing anything to forward town.
I'm not accusing Alison of doing exactly that because she has made some attempts at townsolving, but that means nothing because - Alison.

Alison wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 7:57 pm Being uncomfortable with strong early reads is either scum nervous about how quick town are launching into solving or a site culture issue where they come from a community whose site meta is to dick around D1. However Scotty has experience with MacDougall and doesn't seem to be a first-time Syndicator so I am doubting the latter explanation.

The site is very different today from Scotty’s time. It’s also weird to me but I understand that’s just how the game has changed...

This seems unlikely from Sloonei's opening material posts, but no one is likely to be in a hurry to kill you, so sure...demonstrate.

One of us is misunderstanding the setup I think.

My reading is that each character accesses different powers from different shrines. So as an example. Altmer Noble may be able to access shrines A, B, C, D and E. Argonian Mage may be able to access shrines C, D, E, F and G. Both can access shrine C but they get different powers from accessing shrine C based on the flavor of C as well as their own character's flavor.

One of the powers I can access from a shrine is confirmable and I think pretty pro-town.

Wow never mind, it was in the first page. Someone else can see stuff.

Ok then, carrying on with my business.

My question still remains if, say for example, the Nords are wont to not worshipping daedra while those cat things worship Rum Tug Tugger

In Elder Scrolls lore I think Daedra worship is universal and sort of universally frowned on officially. There's a "state religion" and the Daedra worshipers are sort of like the tolerated pagans that haven't been successfully brought around. Daedra shrines aren't found in the best part of town, but they aren't exactly hidden. As far as I know there is no racial preferences towards any particular individual Daedra.

there is exactly zero chance that at least one of you chuck-le-fux aren't mafia. shut the fuck up.

Since when do I know you well enough for you to be able to say "because Alison" as though you're extremely familiar with the nuances of my meta?

I am not a big fan of the new fad of claiming mafia in your first post. It's usually done as either a reaction test or a joke but I feel it doesn't succeed at either. I've seen a lot of townies get exed for doing it too.

The difference between townies doing it and mafia doing it is that townies do it for the memes and have a laid back sarcastic tone about it all. Mafia plunge deep into it in a very performative way because they secretly feel anxiety that people will believe it and therefore make the theatricality of the claim as obvious as possible. It is also a way to generate what is essentially fluff content and they like leaning into that while claiming it is NAI because they do it as town too. Seanzie's claim is much more scummy than townie. However his lack of follow-up is a slight uptick as it shows that he doesn't have the intention of shitting the thread up with fluff while calling it NAI.

Gavial wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 8:45 pm Can’t decide Gavial? Don’t worry! Wheel decide for you!
That’s right ladies and gentleman! For this game I’ll be using the wheel decide for my reads! I’ll spin the wheel to determine my results.
During Day 1 (that’s today) I’ll be putting 11 Null Town, 7 Lean Town, 5 Town, 2 Lock Town, 9 Null Scum, 5 Lean Scum, 3 Scum and 1 Lock Scum as options in the wheel and spin it for every player in the game!
Then for the next days I’ll be spinning to see if I should change my reads. “Yes” means I do and “No” means I don’t change it.
If it is “Yes” I’ll be doing Up 1, Up 2, Up 3, Down 1, Down 2, Down 3 to determine the next new read change.
If it’s already Lock Scum/Town I’ll remove the
Up/Down which ever it is and add a “4” to it.

Once I’m free I’ll start doing the reads!

probably gonna tunnel you til you die

Spoiler: show

because i can't read you for shit

explain

Recently I have come to terms with the idea that there are certain people that I cannot read, and that it is my precondition to suspect them and never quite arrive at understanding how to read them, yet my suspecting of people I cannot read tends to get them flipped anyway, so I never really have to understand them.

People like Tedxtr, Marmot, Long Con fall into this box. As do you.

Your random list made me think "reeee". I do not understand why it exists. Therefore I hate it. Therefore I want to kill you regardless of knowing why it exists.

i'm going insane are you guys all high

Are you comfortable with the way this list was created?

I literally said I would do it so.

Why wouldn't you just come to your own conclusions and support them with reasoning instead of, "well I spun a wheel and derpidoo, they're town, that one is scum. The wheel said so. Not my fault"?

Because I’m bored of doing that all the time and wanted to spice things up for this large game!

Since I have an assortment of shrines to choose from I am actively investigating which Daedra are ,ore likely to supply vig shots. Between spin to win, open wolf claim and dip, and the rest of the antics I think we have an abundance of good targets.

As much as I wanna think one of you is prob scum, the wheel says your Null Town so meh.

i just want you to know that if i ever get a vig kill i'm shooting you with no warning okay?
