##VOTE Kak

The early setup-focused participation and thread-clogging followed by a drop in activity reminds me of the time I caught him day one.

Glad it was noticed as well (the heavy participation early on). I don't think I've got the context of your experience but I can see how it'd inform your POV.

I'll switch off of TFB. Got me thinking about Kak. They've been gone for hours, and didn't indicate as such so I hope they're ok.
However, their final post has me rethinking and I don't love the post.

##VOTE Kakarroto

Interesting progression

i don't get it

[Bonatogether]

Same with worcej, where is everyone.
When did Kakarakko post last

Ah well, sorry TFB, if I had more time to think I would have remembered you voted Kak.

I guess Kak's vig claim backfired? lmao
I'll still take this.

Don't love either of these posts.

my basedometer is on record high levels for ghug

Why do guns seem likely, in such small setup?

Flavour and Chaqa saying it's fun. Gonna have some gimmick.

Told ya

I voted you because I didn't especially like the other wagons and your play at the very least is detrimental to town, if not outright scummy. You've played twice now, so you know that scum casting an early vote on you without an accompanying wagon doesn't clear you.

I respectfully disagree. I am a Data Scientist – data does not lie.

My play has caused Kak to engage – did it not?
Kak posted a bunch of stuff on it – did they not?
Whoever shot Kak presumably did it based on things Kak said – can we assume this?

So, by my logic, my play has at least partially contributed to outing The Evil Kak.

We can agree to disagree though?

but nowhere does this make you even a shade townier

But I have good news for you ghug! EdenKoala is supposed to be doing exactly what you want me to do I reckon.


Proper Straight-Laced Boring Mafia Hunting by popular (well, ghug) request brought to you by EdenKoala

- Who do we think are the Misdirectors vs who are Deep Threats?
- Is the breakdown of these different in a Closed Setup vs Open Setup?

What town objectives is ghug attempting to achieve with his "not so deep analysis" posts? What scum objectives?

**A shot rings out**

Kakarroto has died he was Cleasar, A mafia goon

Just in case it isn't clear:

1: Whoever did this, WELL DONE;

2: Whoever did this, KEEP QUIET until tomorrrow.

Fluminator is experiencing Roman Catholic levels of guilt after he blasted me last game.

Ghug has died, you realise?

[Bonatogether]

I was hoping to learn something from catching up on what I missed, but I really didn’t.

The Koala schtick hate is interesting and seems to be growing. Is it really that distracting to you all? It’s weird but he is communicating his thoughts at least.

EdenKoala says:

The funny this is – Koala was repeatedly told during the past 2 games that being annoying, or hypocritical, or rude or any of these things is all NAI. And yet somehow, just a bit of silly impersonation roleplaying riles some of the supposedly very experienced Mafia folks up so much... funny, eh?

Maybe someone will slip in the process of being riled up?

being an ass is normal and on par

being irritating is annoying

SMASH BROTHERS PAUSE SOUND – THE GAME IS PAUSED

Koala: Silly Impersonation Roleplay
Kak: Well that's unhelpful, here is a bunch of posts on why this will never lead to a Mafia getting caught
AwesomeNinja: **shoots Kak**
Brain: Kak was Mafia.

Koala: Silly Impersonation Roleplay
Jamiet & ghug: Well that's unhelpful, here is a bunch of posts on why this will never lead to a Mafia getting caught
Koala: ...

Bandersnatch:

(A) I love your Impersonations! If it worked once, keep doing it mate!

(B) I hate your Impersonations, but you do you. Don't fix it if it ain't broken.

(C) Please stop for the love of god. Play the game how ghug & Jamiet want you to play it.

You may input the choice for your code at any point, and KirbyKoala will attempt to weight their actions according to the (A) vs (B) vs (C) distributions in real-time.

SMASH BROTHERS IS UNPAUSED

you're claiming credit for something you didn't do

[Bonatogether]

Well, I was wrong about Kak and TFB. Sorry TFB.

Good job Vig, but I still think shooting D1 is a poor choice.

Does this imply you believe there is another Vig so it's useful to mention the last bit?

Very interesting to put the red part through the Town/Mafia motivations filter.

Hey, The Guide Works! No wonder I have been The President since the times of the Garden of Eden. Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the awesomest of all?

please don't discuss prs in the thread

what gimmick has been revealed

I don't understand this question. Obviously Kak getting shot revealed that there were indeed guns in the game.

[Bonatogether]

3) You are 100% correct. I do believe that I explicitly and clearly stated that the rationale for the gimmick was to avoid folks using my meta from past games – because Bona has warned me I'm going to get D1 voted for my Mafia deeds in our Mafia chat last game. And I stated this before this game stated, committing to it regardless of my alignment in advance. Now I am simply following through as promised, which as rdrivera correctly called it is ironically my true meta.

omg i uncritically believed bona

kill me

[Bonatogether]

Based on everyone's interaction with Kakarroto, I would say Bonatogether, damo, Fluminator, HB, Jamiet, KoalaAttack, and rdrivera seem more likely to be town (compared to not considering their interaction with Kakarroto). However, that only leaves ghug, worcej, and myself.

thank you bozo very cool

It was not intended to. My whole argument with ghug was about defending my approach to playing the game as legitimate and IMHO effective, not promoting my Towniness (which is true but unprovable to you).

useless post

Coming from you, is this like when Mafia lfischl the King of Lurkers called out other people for lurking? Interesting and slightly suspicious, given this is how we caught Mafia lfischl for calling out others on their very thing.
