Oh. Well Eden probably would be a father he has the right demeanor for such a thing. and Conservative men tend to be very focused on family and preserving their nazi bloodlines. or confederate. either one really.

I can’t believe I’ve been playing this game for fifteen years and only now figured out that all you have to do is declare that you’re going to be a townie in the signup thread
Whenever I feel bad about my life choices leading me to play more games of webdip mafia, I take comfort in people like you making that same mistake for a couple years longer

Flum is asexual and prefers soil samples and philsophical treatises on the benefits of fracking tar pits over performing coitus. So I know he is without child
You're welcome for your warm house in winter ;)
Unless your area gets it from Saudi Arabia, which is more likely

Hello everyone. Like I said in the sign-up thread, I am going to be sick today so I will not be as active as normal.
I also have never made it to 3P lylo in a webdip game before and I would like to actually make it there one of these times so I am going to play more selfishly and under the radar to increase the chances I make it.

So someone else can do something crazy to break us out of the jokeposting phase because I always got miskilled for it and it is someone else's turn.

I will still be around, and I will be able to respond to Bozo's inevitable poll when that happens, but for this game I am going to be more focused on reading* than typing.

*I will not be reading any long Flyingboat wallposts still

I like conversative mafia and research mafia. I do enjoy a good study of what has happened more than trying to feel things out. I am not the best judge of character when all I have to work with is joke posts and intro posts.
I try to guess alot and rely on instincts in early phases. and that becomes a problem as those instincts shift and become very wild and theoretical. I get paranoid about power scum players hijacking the narratives and forcing them a direction.

My last game was several months ago and it was a no flip on another site. I was a role that helped reveal one of towns PRs had died but I was so inactive in the game I got miskilled anyway and never really was able to do much.

ask me anything you want. I talk alot. so dont ask me more than the game needs to know

I'm doing well! I found myself a roommate who's a hunter so we have a massive deer in our freezer which is solid during food price inflation. My business is doing pretty well too and I'm finally getting the hang of having one. Still in my hustle era though and usually only have enough free time to shitpost on forums.

Glad to hear you have a family and hope you're doing well too.

In one hundred words or fewer, what do you believe you learned in your most recent game on the other site you mentioned and also in your most recent game here?
