Bob and Bona are two players that I feel like I should have gotten to know by now, but for some reason I haven't.

That's okay, I can't remember a single thing about you other than that you make spreadsheets.

I'm gonna need to explain why you have Donny and Rivera on here but not Bob, theflyingboat, Flum or Fox, please.

Bob and TFB seem to be trying to generate discussion. I get the feeling Foxcastle was looking for reactions with his one longer post. Fluminator said he was town.

Generating discussion on what? Memes? OOG factors? And Fox stated he was looking for laughs. You think that's towny, or do you think he was actually looking for some sort of alignment-indicative reactions? But mostly, you think Flum stating he's town is more town-motivated than two of the people on your list who actually provided some form of a read?

I said no such thing.

Final thoughts for the night. Bona is cool. I have no issues with TFB. Ghug is making some odd logics but it's nothing alarming. Blamp is pretty cool. We're probably just gonna end up shooting lurker #2 at this rate, but as long as it's not goldfinger... sure, it's acceptable.

to clarify, does "cool" mean town in this post?

No it means fun to have around and vibing.

You are voting for Chaqa.

i forgot

Bona is town and I will literally die on this hill

I thought that was towny from bona too, but last time we were scum together you white knighted bona in a similar way (which was very annoying, as I was trying to get him miskilled). I don't recall you ever doing that as town.

This game got serious fast! Well done.

I would assume the votes on DeathLlama are jokes, except that the people on that wagon take themselves too seriously. And the Durga votes are actually all jokes, though.

No it's a classic vote the lurker situation. Entirely serious.

Well, what do you think now that DL is apparently back?

Oh, sorry. Then you implied it, or at least that's how I took it. Regardless, I'm curious why bozo thinks it was specifically town motivated.

I implied that everyone else was looking for laughs, to be clear.

I'm not voting him. But without some actual contributions I see the wagon sticking around a while longer.

was bringing me here all a maneuver just so she could pay you to ask this?

durga is rad. she likes me so therefore i like durga. her convincing ability frightens me but i trust in most life situations it will be put to good use.

this is as emotionally available as i am willing to be on main

Hey Clamp, I'm still getting generally good vibes from you, but can I just ask... has somebody stolen your SHIFT key?

my pinky was removed in a tragic accident long ago

no idk i'm a lazy millennial and forego the use of punctuation and capitalization unless they help establish meaning.

classic lazy millennials

That's alright, Checking full length games, you do only say you are town when are you are town as far as I can tell.
I will take your word for it then that you are town.

Well that was quick. HR really scared you, huh?

How did I intentionally misrepresent the situation?

Pretending that boatman responded to one thing "instead" of the other when he clearly responded to both? Obviously?

In the third post. I called something he said sus, to which he responded that the comment calling bona cringe is how he normally talks to bona. Then I asked what he thought I was critiquing, and he knew it was the part about +1s. That was an inconsistency worth getting to the bottom of, and I didn't misrepresent anything.

Okay. I don't want to reread it so maybe I'll take your word on it.

I don't think the goal is to buddy necessarily, but the latter.

In what way is damo making an unexplained, confident, early townread scum!damo?

It smelled more like damo trying to act like town damo than it did like town damo.

How can you possibly distinguish this when the post is simply "X is town"?

Then why do you like Chaqa's point when his point was that I might be listing players I think are easy mis-kills? Why do you think as mafia I would list my easy to kill teammates?

Bozo if you're handing out wine I drink moscato although I am more of a moonshine fan.

moscato

Some random D1 thoughts so far
============================

Ghug his normal D1 shitposty self mostly but let's see.

[...]

Foxington B. Castle has hardly contributed at all, yet took the time to write a big long post waffling on about people's serotonin levels.

Rdrivera seeming pretty earnest and interested in looking for meaningful content.

Chaqa posting very little but occasionally +1-ing people's posts, so apparently lurking.

disagree on ghug being shitposty, as i just said i feel like ghug was the only one not being shitposty which i appreciated.

based on what i skimmed of day 1 of last game [i read 90% of it to get a scope of what I was getting into], foxcastle not contributing til later feels consistent. not that it's necessarily pro-town, but not scum indicating.

agree on RDR

Chaqa's initial vote post irked me a bit, saying something that felt like "this is how i usually start games, so i will do it now" which feels a bit forced/suspicious.

bona and tfb have good vibes. p town.

durga bad vibes tbh but i'll look the other way

So it was blamp
Blamp Can I ask what about Durga gave you bad vibes ?
And what made you look the other way?

Yes sorry, this game will be an exercise in me learning to better articulate my thoughts.

It was mainly just the "yay me too ~~~~~~~~" post on page one that read as fake to me. It just feels... unnatural? I didn't actually think the buddying thing was suspicious, that was all in jest.

Look the other way because for one, I think it's more likely for me to hyper-scrutinize the people I know better. But also just because I would feel bad being invited into the community and then immediately pushing focus onto the person who invited me who is excited to play with me. That feeling will wane by like, day two though. I'M NOT HERE TO MAKE/KEEP FRIENDS, IM HERE TO WIN!

Chaqa speculated I could be scum listing potential mis-kills, not that I was scum producing WIFOM.

Which game have you been reading? In what world was I trying to generate discussion? In what world was Fox's post reaction fishing? Is this a bad attempt at humour?

My assessment is based on my observations.

What would you say you have been trying to accomplish with your 50 posts?

What do you make of Kgray Jamiet?
I feel like the push by Ghug this early is a town indicator compared to scum ghug for me.

I don't know about Kgray. Not very active so far outside of commenting on TFB and Ghug. Need to see more. No town vibes today. Kgray usually.... tries?

I find Ghug hard to read although there are some little tells he has, which I have my eyes, ears, and nostrils open for.

That's fair.
I do have to agree with your damo take above.
I was going to use blamp as a Durga reader but now don't think thats a good idea.

yeah this is definitely a bad idea. For one, Durga and I mostly communicate over voice calls and have never been in a game environment together, so the mode of communication does not lend itself for me to have any more knowledge than others. Also, I have no idea how good at this in general I am lmao. No idea how solid my reads will be or if I'll be way way off.

not to mention, while i appreciate the trust, using anyone else as an indicator feels like it would just be a way to scapegoat/transfer blame to that person later on.
