"agreeable" might be the wrong word, but there was a sorta positivity to them that felt a lil forced to me?

What are we voting for this day zero, I suppose is not an elim?

It is now day 1 but @Golden hasn't updated the thread title

Oh, thanks, then we have to find scum or at least try to

Noted!
Yeah, I have time in the last15 hours of the DP and I also have to sleeo that night, unfortunately i have a deadline and I have finish my job.
If anyone needs my answer to a question please ping me

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

So yeah, maybe. That could be a tell. Other than that it looks like she was only able to be here for about 15 minutes.

my one game with town!michelle had her displaying that trait - being on her own world, inquisitive, not really playing the social game - and I agree that post by hers feels a little out of character with how she played with me last time

Duelist Mirage wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2026 1:43 pm Huh, I recall her being pretty absent and easygoing like this early on in that game, and it wasn't until later in the game that she started having contributions and Opinions. I'll have to look back at that I guess?

1) Are you post-restricted? Like legit unable to post normally? Or just roleplaying and you COULD post otherwise if you wanted to?

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

This is a lot of hedge

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

OOPS FLASHING FLASHING CLEAR THE INTERSECTION YOU INGRATES

Ah, the slutty Underground train. It's not too different from an Origami master, actually.
When performing the act of origami, hands are always gently folding a fresh piece of paper. Repeatedly stroking the inner curves, putting pressure on the right spots. One has to know the ins and outs of the art, really.

You are right ofcourse, but are you really basing a townread on how someone is roleplaying?

Ergo I’d wait a day

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

CANT BE TIMID ON YOUR WAY TO WORKING HARD ELSE BUSINESSMAN #214 WILL WALK OVER YOU

Who's Businessman #214 ?
Nice wagons anyway. I mean, it's a start.
Wanna see if LC wants to vote for any of them.

Is Michelle thinking this is day 0 a fake dumbtell ? Probably.

He's not really around doing much of anything, much as Michelle. Might be a viable place for a mafia to dump a vote on.
I think GSGs read on me hasn't really been evolving since forever despite the high activity so he's still not making it into my townreads.
Speaking of which, I'll have to check NicoleAD again.

I'm not voting for leetic because he's not doing much of anything, I'm voting for leetic because I have found what little he has done to read more wolfy than not.
