Yeah

no

Being wrong doesn't make you scum but why didn't you want kak?

i townread him

[Bonatogether]

idk who's on what wagon or what the wagons are

This feels like obfuscating confusion when you recently checked the bot to know eod was soon.
I buy you not tracking who's on what wagon, but you definitely knew what the wagons were right?

no, i looked at the eod time and saw there were roughly equal wagons and that was it

[Fluminator]

joking bozo is scum bozo

##vote bozo

Do you have meta backing this up? What's your experience in games to make you say this?

yes
i once got him with it before

Which game?

[Bonatogether]

i forgot why i'm voting bozo

EOD is really just you pretending to be clueless. Considering you restate joking bozo is scum bozo not long after.

Idk, after reading this performance everything seems very disingenuine from bona at eod.

i don't pretend

ratio

if i was scum - why would i phonepost, from a car, and pretend to not know what was happening?

[Bonatogether]

ghug is scum again

Why was this your thought at the time when kak just flipped mafia and ghug was one of the main pushers.

Did you get bussing vibes from him?

Let's not kill Jamie right now.

this post

[Bonatogether]

Going back to bozo's questions to rivera, I think it's unlikely that Kak bussed Koala.

I'd say there's a good chance that there's at least one mafia between worcej and Bona.

thanks for that bandwagon scumread on me, really appreciate it

[Bonatogether]

Good afternoon, Hamilton Brian.

actually you posted this at 11am

[Bonatogether]

More Bona votes. Follow me men of Gondor

sus

[Bonatogether]

Bona, what's your take on koala right now. You were scum with him. Do you have the same take as ghug?

Did you get the ghug-koala interaction reread that quickly or is that just you following ghug's dying words?

I'd like to also ask Bona to answer Fluminator's original question about me. This should be great data:

1) I spent the longest with Bona in Mafia Chat last game, so will be useful for me to see how accurate and sincere their representation of that time will be as a reflection on Bona's alignment

2) We can all see what is Fluminator's take one they get the answer to their question

3) We can then all see what is Hamilton Brian's reaction to Fluminator's take will be given the follow-up question

3-for-1 form my perspective!

you've never played with me as town

i play differently because i think differently

curious

[Bonatogether]

Anyone else wanna join me on Bozo?

with knowledge that kak is scum - this post sucks

You are wrong. I scumread Bozo and that's perfectly sincere.

yeah i'm feeling it now

[Bonatogether]

Just in case it isn't clear:

1: Whoever did this, WELL DONE;

2: Whoever did this, KEEP QUIET until tomorrrow.

me me im the pr

WELL DONE.

THANKS, BUT KEEP IT QUIET

[Bonatogether]

Told ya

what gimmick has been revealed

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

that's not a gimmick

[Bonatogether]

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

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).

but it's not effective

man i know the experience of being newer and getting an idea and being told its shit but being convinced, and the answer is my idea sucked, and so does yours

[Bonatogether]

...

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.

every post of mine expresses a coherent thought, and some are even worthwhile

this comparison doesn't make sense

Fair enough. And if that's the case, and I figure out this was the case I will adjust my approach – after this game when the alignment of all the folks giving me advice has been revealed.

This is why I already promised the ghost of ghug to give ghug the option to play the next way "the ghug way" if we lose.

But I'm not particularly receptive to folks of unknown-alignment telling me how to play mid-game. You all have seen my post in the Sign Up thread. Could have told me it was a terrible idea back then... but did anyone tell me that back then? Nope. So now you get the KirbyKoala for this game, and I'll re-evaluate after the game ends.

I respectfully and strongly disagree with the first part about "every post has coherent thought".

I do certainly agree that some are worthwhile though :)

WELL DONE.

THANKS, BUT KEEP IT QUIET

How is the second part not joking around useless noise against your own advice? And how is your joking around noise better than my impersonation silly-ness?

[Bonatogether]

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

If you actually read my discussion with ghug you would see I specifically said the only person who can claim credit is whoever the mystery AwesomeNinja is who shot Kak.

I am simply claiming that my Impersonation roleplay drew out reactions from people. And I assume the mystery AwesomeNinja who shot Kak did this based on Kak's posts or reactions. Maybe the ones to me, maybe some others – we'll never know until all is revealed when the game ends.

I do claim credit for drawing out reactions from people, which can be used as "food for thought" by others to analyze. But also, if you are going to replace ghug to continue this argument, I don't really care enough on my end...

I give up trying to convince folks on this – but I will say that I play this game for fun and I'll play it however I feel like playing it, damn it. Or stop playing if there is only one accepted way to play that's not as fun for me. I submitted some Player Submitted Thoughts along the lines of "I'm allergic to people telling me how to play a silly forum game I play for fun" earlier.

i read every post, including my own, as i scroll past.

it did draw reactions - not really helpful or alignment-related ones, because your thing isn't alignment related (you announced it pre-game). making assumptions about the vig is inherently unproveable and not really helpful

drawing out reactions is meh. solve, dammit

everyone plays how they want but ultimately something needs to get out of it

[Bonatogether]

Bona, what's your take on koala right now. You were scum with him. Do you have the same take as ghug?

koalers should know better but i'm unsure how alignment-indicative it is. his scum game last time had some highly obvious tells, so if he was to be scum, he'd have to switch it up.

What were the obvious tells last game?

constant lack of surety, constant asking if random things were sus, etc

[Bonatogether]

please don't discuss prs in the thread

So how do I go about figuring them out in the Closed Setup game when I don't have a Mafia chat with confirmed-teammates available to me?

in your head

or not at all like me
