nice x post

gimme that sweet release of death please

"Who was she?" Sidney asked. "you've spent more time getting to know them than I have."

"Irinushka was an aspiring journalist and blogger," Chelsea said. "She became a minor celebrity in the anti-Putin youth movement thanks to her blogging."

"Yeah, well, it looks like Putin's reach caught up to her," Sidney said, showing Chelsea the dead woman's neck.

The train was rolling again, leaving Liski behind them. The other travelers were distraught this morning. Another two of them dead? How many more would die following these Americans?

"Look at Ilya's skin!" one man said. "He has boils all over him. This is not the COVID sickness!"

"They're called lesions, technically," Chelsea corrected. "And you're right. It's not the Coronavirus. This is something more... sinister."

"Curious," Sidney said while examining the corpse.

"What is it?" Chelsea asked.

"Look at this," he said, pointing to a spot behind Ilya's ear.

"That's a mole, Sidney."

"No it's not. Look closer. It's a tattoo."

"Well I'll be damned," Chelsea said. "Why would anyone have a tattoo that looks like a mole?"

"It's identifying mark," Sidney said.

"Pardon?" Chelsea asked.

"In the 1970s both the CIA and the KGB started putting a small, subtle tattoo on their agents. For some reason, the CIA put their mark inside their agents' ass crack. The KGB, however, chose behind the ear. Our friend Ilya here is just about old enough to have been a young agent when the Soviet Union collapsed. I bet he continued on in the Russian Federation's service."

"Shouldn't he have retired by now?" Chelsea asked.

"He doesn't look quite 60 yet. That's the minimum retirement age in Russia these days," Sidney said as he rummaged through Ilya's gear. "Now where did he get this, I wonder?" he asked, pulling out a smartphone.

"I think he stole it from someone in Penza," one of the travelers said.

"Look at this everybody," Sidney shouted, holding the phone up high. "Ilya betrayed you. He's a Russian agent. He stole this phone and turned on its tracking app. I wouldn't be surprised if he notified his higher ups so they could track him through this phone."

"So they know where we are?" someone asked.

"Yes," Chelsea said. "But not for long."

"What about Irinushka?" another asked. "Was she an agent too?"

"No," Sidney said. "She was strangled in her sleep, just like Stanislav, only not by Ilya."

"You mean..."

"That's right," Sidney barked. "Ilya wasn't acting alone. At least one more of you is working against us. I should just kill you all right now, but I promised Yuri to get as many of you out of Russia as I could. Just know that I'll be watching you."

Fear gripped the travelers. Another traitor among them? Who could it be?

"Now leave the bodies, leave the phone, and everyone get off this damn train. It'll reach Voronezh in about three hours. That's not much of a head start, but it's all we've got going for us right now."

I am convinced LC is bad. His approach toward me in particular is manufactured. I view him as someone eager to take advantage of someone he knows isn't keen on this anymore. I think he tried to take advantage of that with my predecessor and found an easy way to carry that "suspicion" over when I joined.

There was a moment where he played the politician in that regard. My presence doesn't change the role I have. And notice that his commentary about me dissipates into an even longer commentary about Tony and then a "maybe this would be more helpful."

It's bullshit. Long Con knows I'm a civilian. He's mafia.

Counterpoint, I almost always feel this way about Ted. Well, this isn't true. I dunno. I seem to recall having a good streak of finding him as town earlier in the year after GoC. He was a wolf in GoC, right

Yeah, he was a wolf and he tricked me. But I found him in a few games after, then he was a wolf in abdimals and was null all game. I dunno. Maybe to save for later.

OH right I wolfed with him in Amdibals

To me this is overboard. If Tony is behaving like a civilian Tony would, then that is all that needs to be said. Why tack on an additional independent clause about your gut?

i wanna say my strongest town reads are nanook and longcon tbh. my weakest wolf read is ted, so i will not vote for him until day 3 at least.

the person i think most likely could swing w from my t reads is vulgard for possible tmi, but i will eventually read up (or not) see what he has to offer.

high poster hally in a vacuum should be town, but i felt like she was gaslighting us with questions and content which she doesn't really build from. like they're prods and questions which she doesn't really care about one way or the other.

don't really know much about tsp, except he didn't like one of my posts and i like that reaction. no idea if triplehaven has posted yet, i'll get there.

wilgy im giving a soul town read to.

The bolded is always a weird thing to think about. I think because Dunya expressed it directly here maybe it's more likely to come from town? Level 1 is it means w!dunya because t!dunya gets mad at me for an incorrect read, but I don't think Dunya plays like that.
It's a decent looking poe though. Neither of arete or vulgard. I think scum who's skimming would throw one in.

Also, TR on LC. Spicy.

I'll move my vote for now.

His tone is incredibly forced/stilted and he keeps repeating his cases in a way that makes me think he's trying to mimic a proper progression on people.

re: tone i think he just writes like that

i don’t understand what you mean by the bolded

By the bolded I mean that he keeps bringing things up that he's already said before, such as that he doesn't like the posters who claimed maf. It seems like he's trying to write every read he has out to such a detailed extent that nobody can question the work he's put in/the quality of his thoughts, but it just comes out looking like he's trying very hard to remember the reasons he's scumread peope--something that town don't have to do because they've already internalized their opinions.

this feels chainsaw-y.

how?

112 is going after Vulgard for his cases, particularly parts where it's claimed that he's repeated ideas that others have stated. But generally I think this is inaccurate. Vulgard seems to be in some ways the least conventional person in the game, he's playing it differently. Stilted, maybe. But not repetitive. Hypothesis then, there's a common case that Vulgard has picked up on that implicates a partner of 112. 112 seeks to discredit this general case by discrediting Vulgard.
Feels weak tbh but it's something. If like Tutuu is scum I think that'd be a strong association

liked these posts

going through his ISO though in hindsight he doesn't look as good as he does when reading through the thread

Why bring up that you liked two particular posts (but said nothing about them or why you liked them) and then tacked on something about "going through his ISO though in hindsight..."

What hindsight? You're making this up. You didn't do this.
