Night Ends in about 3.5 hours. If you have instructions/requests/PRorders/ or the like... be sure to DM/Discord both brain and me. Brain is busybusybusy today and I am steering the shi..p/...e..e........*****$###SSSSZXXX

[Jamiet99uk]

can we actually kill both of these guys

This was a particularly interesting thing to say, in retrospect.

[sweetandcool]

Jamie you're not allowed to change your pfp lol.

There is no rule about changing your profile picture, as far as I am aware.

There was a warning to avoid using your profile picture or signature to convey game-related information. I am not doing that.

Your profile pic references Chaqa, who was subbed out for yoyo, who is still alive.

But I also don't care, I suppose. Sometimes it's funny.

Do we have to DM you and message on Discord?

I wouldn't want my orders to be missed.

I intended it to indicate choice. But if I were promised a gazillion Brazilian Real(s) if I sent word to Frank Jones, who lives across town... I would post, email, text, call, AND send a carrier pigeon. Only one would be 'required', though.

And NO... I am not offering any of you dweebs any Brazilian Real(s). I gave them all to RDR.

[FlaviusAetius]

Sorry I missed EoD twice in a row. I'll try not to have that have happen... but that might be a pattern.

My last post (and when I stopped reading) was at page 113 and now we're at 169 pages. Needless to say, I read quite a bit lol.

I have some thoughts and I'll just post them haphazardly

After a big catchup you should put all of your thoughts in one large message, its much more helpful

[ghug]

That Ghug wagon there is interesting because I think I townread everyone on it.

You townread Will?

[ghug]

Hmmm, or do I?

What reason do I have for townreading Will?

Maybe I don't. I should review him.

Lol

[Col7by]

I was waiting towards the end of night phase so here it is now. Dip had said their two scum reads were balki and bunny. I had tried to follow up on that multiple times while dip was alive and right when we hit night phase. Once bunny got back on he started to try and paint me as sus in three different posts I think to paint a target to get me out before I speak more. I wait until now to say this so I didn’t want people to think it appeared as a retaliation to bunny accusing me. You will find this is the only times my name been brought up or I posted since night 2 has started other than once other town support from ghug I believe and being listed as a town read by one other person.

Bonus and bunny are my top two scum reads right now

[ghug]

That Ghug wagon there is interesting because I think I townread everyone on it.

Was Dousing ever a legitimate wagon? Was Balki bussing Dousing?

I still think this is plausible. The way he got on only after I left and then complained at me that he was lonely felt performative. I could see it being an attempt to set up a "look, ghug didn't actually want Dousing dead" line of thought later on.

[ghug]

I have a hard time reading ghug at the best of times, and in this game it's even harder due to how much information needs to be parsed.

I don't feel he's the towniest, I'll tell ya that.

Do you know that Ghug is the third-highest poster in this game?

He has made 232 posts.

Yet I do not have a strong read on him either.

Perhaps this should concern us.

I am also concerned, on a related topic, that TheMadMonarch has posted only 11 times, and 10 of those posts were during the first half of D1.

@TheMadMonarch are you going to participate, please? You should sub out if you are unable to play.

Ghug and MM would be good wagons tomorrow.

no u

I am not conveying any game related information through my profile picture.

Do you understand that nobody trusts what you're saying because you've blatantly violated the rule in the past?

[Col7by]

Or we could tie the vote right. I feel like it will be harder to get everyone on no vote and maybe be telling to see if anyone pushes either over the edge at the end

This is not what I’d expect from Col7by

Bumping this

[FlaviusAetius]

(FYI: I'm aware Balki flipped scum but his points are valid so I'll address them)


I think this argument gets at the heart of why my play could perhaps be "scummy"

(2) Keeps telling us that he has been reading lots of pages but keeps his focus very narrow on a handful of subjects.

First off: in any other context "[he] keeps his focus very narrow on a handful of subjects" reads like a compliment.

Tbh its partly intentional and partly due to laziness. Keeping to a few lanes is just my way of maintaining brevity. I really don't feel the need to go "I scumread/I townread what you just said" on every single issue.
- If I have something insightful to say --> I'll say it
- If I don't have something insightful to say --> I'd rather not drown out though who do with some meaningless post from me.

This is especially the case when I don't think an issue should even be discussed. In that case I'll flat out ignore anything to do with that discussion in the hopes that whatever's propping up that kind of argument loses steam (RE: Bona's "WOOT WOOT" message).

Regardless, I don't actually think I'm as tunnel-y as Balki argues. I think my posts are fairly broad but that I simply swing to either 1-2 word responses or massive walls.

ie: I put a lot of *WORDS* into a specific topic, but I still put an equivalent amount of posts into most topics.


Tl;Dr: It's ironic how y'all complain about how many new pages there are yet flame people when they underpost.


(I have more coming)

I think talking on as many topics as possible is important though, if you dont do that then we dont know what you think on a lot of different things and if we dont know what you think on a lot of different things its hard to get a read out of you. Therefore the read becomes default mafia.
This is the definition of a skater and you should not be a skater. I think you have contributed some essential stuff to the conversation, I think you would provide much more if you started talking on more topics.

This idea that you dont want to do that makes me think your inputs are more mechanically created rather than genuine analysis >.>

[Col7by]

Hmm. It was sitting with me ok. But maybe I’m naive

Ezio is very into that specific sort of fake townslip.

Good to know.

Col7by just jumped up my suspect list.

And this

This was a pretty sus thing you said, tying the vote was a bad proposal

[FlaviusAetius]

ghug, day 3 is almost here which means I might start suspecting you soon.

I'm very clearly town, and also you have to add up to four days to account for the tadpole.

You are not very clearly town, you've spoken a bunch and yet your alignment still confuses people. The ONLY reason I dont think you are #1 mafia right now is because Diplomacy is dead so I now need to rethink your reasonings

[Col7by]

This was terrible and you should feel bad, by the way.

Excuse me?
What was terrible was the wagon on me. It's been pushed since the beginning of D2 my Demon, who is obviously tunneling me.
What was terrible were the other wagons. The fish and ghug wagons were barely better than mine.
What was terrible was the fact that nobody else noticed Bunny or Balki being scum.
My decision to prevent a town kill by forcing a duel between myself and my scumread was entirely reasonable.

It’s sad I missed your bunny remarks within 5 minute. I had a comment before you mentioned it but no one follow up. Think he’ll require another look D3

And the big chain bumping this
