as for my own dead-on-arrival funny bit, i was going to revenge reply with "i'm sorry ___-chan 🥺" but i can't figure out a cringe name for you quickly enough for the joke to be relevant or funny.
this is a serious game of mafia

I was a VT up until the start of N2, when Butterfree decided to do some rebalancing and made me a terrorist instead. So for the first two days I was playing as town, not mafia. IIRC I didn't say much though - the only read I had was, as I mentioned earlier, being slightly doubtful of Keldeo, which turned out to be completely wrong. (My reads are never any good anyway, as my score to Seshas' quiz shows. So don't put too much stock in my list from earlier, I'm better once we have some actual mechanical info to work with.)
 
gotcha, thanks! yeah tbh i kind of didn't remember 100% because i didn't remember you playing a lot until around when you were functionally mafia, and i thought for a second that your keldeo read was one that you threw out as mafia
 
amateur hour vibe check time TM
herbe - hypocop n0!
mewtini - bonus points for being the person to first mention copcovers (i can see mafia jumping on a copcover bandwagon, but have a harder time imagining mafia instigating)
ils - idk the flavorspec felt good
seshas - i swear its not just that they TRed me lmao
rari
myuma
koko - something about the "is considering online status a cheaty move" struck me as benevolent
blu
(none of these are particularly negative vibes, just unsure)
kyeugh - i want to lean good vibes on this one, but im scared about the possibility of her going "look at all the cool things im doing this game that are totally NOT what i did when i was the Bad Guy last game hahaha." dont want to read too much into that rn tho
emmy
keldeo - im scared of talented players using their powers for evil and playing themselves as benevolent, but jurys still out. maybe im just holding them to a higher standard than i should be?
bfree
m+7
tofu
stryke
vm
rnp
superjolt
ultracool

i think i got everyone but if i missed someone by accident they are likely in the no current vibes category

rankings subject to change without warning

huh. i know this isn't relevant because of your hypocheck, but i think i have gotten this vibe from herbe and not really from anyone else. do you think skylar's sounded performative? or is it just paranoia

@Keldeo
Based on the fact this is Cats (2019) Mafia, the mafia members are probably Macavity (the film's antagonist, correct me if I'm wrong) and his cronies. According to post history and the "last seen" bit of their profiles, Tofu, rari_teh and M+7 were online during roughly the same time frame today (4:30AM GMT). This could be a coincidence, or maybe not... if they're all mafia, they might be discussing something on their private mafia chat.

Vipera Magnifica and RedneckPheonix have been online, but haven't posted anything. Mr. Ultracool is watching (or more accurately, reacting) from the shadows. Lying low...? Superjolt and Butterfree haven't posted due to real-life things holding them up, so they're free from suspicion for now.

So far I'm inclined to think kyeugh isn't mafia because her playstyle is different to the tvtropes game.

Thanks. This seems to mostly be about folks who haven't contributed that much - do you have any thoughts on people who have posted more than that, besides kyeugh?

I get the same sense from the opening flavor post and what everyone's said that the Macavity flavor is mafia, yeah. I don't really think the online time means that much - if I'm doing the conversion right, I think that would've been about right after the Cats "afterparty" wrapped up?

tofu and rari were both vibing in the cats stream last night, so i wouldn’t attribute suspicion based off of that (i am admittedly wary of activity/last seen reads nowadays)

i also am probably gonna be null on him for a while, but it’s worth noting that he played like this as town in tvt

lol yeah this.

fair enough
I was thinking that mafia would do that, it's probably not as alignment indicative as I thought
Click to expand...
yeah, the way i thought about this was like
if koko is mafia and they (the people mentioned as being online) are town, koko wouldnt adress it as cheaty
if they are all mafia, then i wouldve expected koko to also be online at that time

Probably a bit of each, this was the post that first made me a little sus
kyeugh said:
cop cover is good. i think the odds that there is actually just a normal cop in this game are pretty high. i know i was kind of against it last game, but that's because i thought the presence of a cop wasn't necessarily a given, and also i was trying to kill you all
Click to expand...
cant draw too many vibes from it bc on surface level its a good post, but still a bit Hmmmmm about it. idk i think it was just the combination of aforementioned vibe and Must Justify (maybe im reading too harshly into it)

ok I'm ready to be actually useful

townreads:
  • ILS - hasn't said much, but what he has said has been useful flavour spec
  • kyeugh and Seshas are being solvy, volunteering reads on the spot / earlier than anyone else. (Though based off last game they seem to be some of the strongest players here and would probably be more than capable of faking it)
  • Bluwiikoon seems to be behaving very similarly to the way Emmy was last game! Very stream-of-consciousness, happy-go-lucky. Just doesn't seem anywhere near guarded enough to be mafia. Especially considering IIRC this is his first game?
  • mewtini is my hypocop check! and also just seems to be being generally friendly/supportive of people/helping town gel? admittedly this is a bit weak
scumreads:
  • Eifie is clearly lying about being a cat. she's not even on the player list!
  • that's it
  • I have warned y'all repeatedly that I'm not very good at this
null:
  • Agree Emmy is acting differently from last game, but like I said earlier, I don't think that's necessarily indicative of anything
  • Keldeo on the other hand is extremely similar: long posts where he does lots of busywork (collating posts / asking people for clarification / explaining rules etc) but doesn't provide much in the way of his own info. It still feels like a scum tactic to me, but last game he was a cop, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
mewtini said:
as far as the Light Earlygame TRs i mentioned - rari, trebek, blu, and seshas seem to have good vibes so far! excited for some more content to come out hehehehe. anyway rip mawile
Click to expand...

Like I said above I agree about seshas and blu, and you explained trebek a couple of posts up, but what about rari? curious about what you're basing that on as afaict she doesn't seem to have said much yet
Click to expand...
Hm, can you talk to me a little bit about the ILS read / why you think a mafia wouldn't have the same ideas about the flavor? Going entirely off memory I feel like Rari has had similar magnitude of contributions in the flavor realm but you don't seem to have a read on them.

Mindmeld on Blu tbh. Not sure why more people haven't had this read actually, but I guess it's probably smart to wait for more concrete stuff than tone from him.

Do you have any further thoughts on Emmy's play viewing this game in a vacuum, or are you just neutral on her not taking into account the TVTropes comparison?

And yes, I always play this way and there are always people who scumread me for it haha. (I would assert that asking questions may be easily fakeable but is not busywork btw.)
