I eventually had to go in Lasso anyhow becasue of weird role mechanics (once a specific role pinpointed my role, they could block the kill iirc since I had the kill or something to that effect). But like every time I came in the chat you were talking about bussing me ha ha. Now it's funny, at the time I didn't take it well. I'm happy you don't remember itScotty wrote: ↑Sat Mar 08, 2025 11:20 amWhat sucks is I don’t remember any of that but I apologize profusely if that’s how it happened. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been bad, but I’d like to think if I were planning on going ham on a teammate I’d have the wherewithal to give a heads up and not just go rogue. All I remember is we won that game, and it was messy.

Not seeing anything wrong with Scotty and his questioning/posting.![]()
Not seeing sig as sk at all.![]()
Actually it's very early for me to mention anything so I am done now.![]()
What do you make of SVS’ notation of my posting? I think yall have more of a history and would be able to read each other better than I do.
I also would like to get the whole gang in here and have a party with pyx and saisy
feels like fakery between you and SVS
If you want to see Scotty and I commit fakery, go look at Ted Lasso. I'll wait.
I tried some standard "calling him out on minor issue as distancing" early on, and he actually started acting like a towny. I had no choice but to defend myself as lightly as I could, but he kept coming. I was deer in the headlights, didn't know what to do, and I prolly made my chatroom a hell for the other members of our team, Michelle and Thunal, with my bitching about it. I'm usually a pretty fun BTS partner, but that game i was a whiny bitch, no lie. It was a semi traumatic (mafia wise, not reality wise lol) experience for me, and I'm fairly sure the rest of our team knows it. Maybe it was for him, toohe hadn't been bad in years iirc, and i can be fairly rigid and obsessive and Drama Queenish when I'm upset. Most def Drama Queenish.
I know this is WiFom, but if I'm bad with him again, the last thing I',m doing is throwing out some semi provocative remark at him as distancing since I know up close and personal how he reacts to it. If I'm bad, and he's not my teammate, I'm not doing it either, since, again, I know how he reacts to it. Nope nope nope, not touching him in thread with a ten foot pole.
Like i said, it's all WiFom, but it is the Gods honest truth. And I would think he knows it if he thinks about it.
K gotta catch up and read back, I've only skimmed the last page so far.
“Nope nope nope, not touching him in thread with a ten foot pole.”
What am I? Mr. Grinch?

SVS, are you curious as to why I jumped off you?

Though with 18 players I find that *less* likely, but if so that screws up my association reads. So best to keep it as probably 13/4/1 for my baseline. And hopefully that 1 is a town-sided 3Ppyxxy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 08, 2025 6:42 amhm okay well I certainly don't feel like you're the type to feel threatened enough unless you're trying to play bold as scum or something for some reasonScotty wrote: ↑Fri Mar 07, 2025 7:58 pmLevel 0 read here sig.sig wrote: ↑Fri Mar 07, 2025 3:29 pm The thread has a weird vibe.
I think someone in the SVS/Scotty mix up is mafia. If I had to pick I’d say Scotty.
Why? You may ask, the answer is because I said so.
Actually I think this is a case of SVS noting something that wasn’t scummy, but the player is mafia, and mad they got called out.
Ooooooor I’m totally wrong![]()
I don’t understand why LC is getting votes.
Obviously SVS and I are both wolves just doing a masterclass in distancing.
No but wait; so you think SVS made a non-read and you conflate that with me feeling ‘caught for the wrong reasons’? That’s bold, dogman
so to talk about this _again_ is very cool in my book. although closed setup so idk incentives or w/e
Well looking forward to it. I tend to suss on vibes myself, and it can be a hard thing to defend against some I'm curious about how I'm giving bad vibes.Michelle wrote: ↑Sat Mar 08, 2025 10:22 amI have to ISO you to check what gave me that impression and 4 am is not the perfect time.

It’s funny because I don’t believe in hellbussing unless there is an actual plan to bolster the person I’m actually trying to bus and in turn, fall on my own sword.

And I would of course like to know, I'm curious and I can adjust my game to be a wilier opponent when bad. i like to tell people tells so they are more challenging opponents in future games.
BUT. I also know people don't always like to reveal their tells, so I wasn't going to ask.
k I’ll give you time to marinate
pyxxy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 08, 2025 6:58 am however I think you're wrong to be concerned that scotty would looked paired with you. not saying feelings invalid or anything, certainly posting these things make you look much more isolated in the thread. which oddly enough makes me question abby's thread vibing. sorry if this train doesn't make sense I'm only awake at 3am to make sure my friends got on the bus. [VOTE: abby] aubergine gn y'all ttyl
Yeah it's weird buttttt the only reason I haven't pushed a vote on SVS is it feels too egregious and obvious a play i don't think SVS would just be like teehee I'm totes gonna play different this game as wolf
Fwiw i think Long Con is blatantly agendad and wolfy but I refuse to ever push thereMichelle wrote: ↑Sat Mar 08, 2025 10:10 amIt was about my read on Abigail.
I thought you beat around the bush but you said you were straightforward which shows we are not looking at your posts in the same way and also you said you didn't have time this morning so I apologise for assuming things.
Otoh why should I think like you and give you an explanation like you want to hear when I have a very different pov over the game than you have regardless your alignment?
You think you're objective, and I think the data I had when I made the read were correct. It's not like one of us has to be wrong, it may be a different perception if you are town and we both have a personal correct perception.
You can keep your vote but I would appreciate some scum hunting from you.
And no, tunneling me is not scum hunting.

also had a shit diplomacy game a few months ago and I'm in a phase of wondering if online posting makes me act meaner than is good
so wasn't sure how coming back for goc would feel
pyxxy, Michelle and I went back and forth about her stated reasons for giving Abigail a townread. She gave a couple of loose reasons to townread Abbi, and, in my opinion, those reasons don't match thread history.
On a scale of 1-10, what are the chances that I'm voting for Michelle based on subjective minutiae that I see as a red flag?
voting for michelle lines up with that perfectly, although I saw that Porscha doesnt' townread Michelle and that was in response to someone maybe assuming that Porscha did townread Michelle? which made me blink because I had also assumed for some reason that Porscha townread Michelle, so the correction was a good post, unless it's Porscha preemtively avoiding blame for a town Michelle flip, because posting about it would at least keep Michelle's name in the active conversation and that's how people die
which is to say...one in you Porscha Michelle?

Just as luck would have it. I’ve never been the best deducer or strategist, but when I last checked in like 2021 or something I had a 70% chance of dying (and winning) as town or something like that, which also coincided with a above average town win rate oddly enough.pyxxy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 08, 2025 6:16 amhello! nice to meet you!sprityo wrote: ↑Fri Mar 07, 2025 2:21 amWait, did I miss the part where wilgy says that he is “definitely a doctor” or???
