Cats (2019) Mafia

[Trebek]

you kinda weren’t when you voted trebek tbh

that’s the point; he’s trying to change that aspect of his play by taking a more active role, i.e. by pushing on herbe without being prompted

you beat me to it oof

fun fact about me, i have a weird habit of repeating everything i read in my head over and over in an attempt to make a shitty portmanteau. somehow i arrived at “yubeetoof” here

it kinda is what it is, really. I still kinda can’t wrap my head around what you were trying to do there regardless of alignment, it’s just ????
I guess I kinda sorta understand it now after so much explaining, but I still have no idea on what would this imply regarding your alignment

he was just placing a vote based on a slight read to pressure trebek, then voiced his thought process aloud as he interpreted the reaction, and eventually unvoted as he was satisfied with the response that trebek gave. i don’t think it’s all that strange at all, and probably doesn’t really imply that much

ah wait i think i got it now
he made a bold move to vary his playstyle and instigate conversation, and that was basically it?

yep!

 

[kyeugh]

or, well, keldeo can feel free to correct me here, i don’t mean to speak for him. :x

 

[mewtini]

i feel like keldeo’s vote/push is exactly the kind of thing we should be doing right now—taking minor leans we have and pushing on them to generate conversation, and running from there.

oh i agree! but i don't think it's weird that given the state of the thread that a few people (not really 'everyone,' even - it was two of us!) were confused and asked about it. i didn't really mean to shade kel and most of the sussing you mentioned was stuff that i said when he directly asked me how i felt about him coming out of this

also fwiw i do think keldeo comes out of this looking more towny (or at least not any worse) overall now that i've become, um, literate and especially now that i see his post about trying to reshuffle his meta. i'm sorry that i didn't get what was happening earlier on :p

this is about exactly my brain right now as well

 

[rari_teh]

yeah, if I didn’t make it clear enough I also don’t think Keldeo’s actions are necessarily mafia-indicative, esp now that I understand them
he’s in my null pile for now

 

[Bluwiikoon]

Given that Keldeo is my hypocop clear, I feel like rari's reactions to his pushing felt a bit strong. I would read the whole situation as uhhh

-Keldeo pushes Trebek to incite discussion
-rari and mewtini have their initial "wtf" reactions
-rari (or wolfchat in general) takes this as a chance to frame Keldeo's actions as extreme and/or a bit wolfy
-Everyone now has vibes about Keldeo

Seems like people have backed down from both Trebek and Keldeo now, but may be worth noting for later? Additionally, since I townlean mewtini pretty hard I didn't read too much into her reactions to the situation. But it seemed fairly reasonable?

rari has also uhhh reacted similarly to previous sudden pushes in tvt according to other posts, but that could also be a good cover for them, to act a similar way.

This is all hypothetical however, and if Keldeo turns up red then uhhhh oops

 

[rari_teh]

ftr I never said that Keldeo was being wolfy iirc
it just. didn’t make sense for me regardless of alignment

 

[mewtini]

oh, huh. i think it's kind of weird that you read me and rari so differently actually, unless you think she was just copying my opinions or something?

 

[Bluwiikoon]

It may be that I've seen more mewtini posts in general and thus have more of the good vibes tm. For some reason rari hasn't left too much of an impression on me otherwise. ^^; Just getting some thoughts out there, anyway!

no, it's fair! she hasn't posted nearly as much as i have.
the reason i was wondering is that rari and i mostly agreed through most of it, though i think i softened on keldeo before she did

 

[Bluwiikoon]

Perhaps it was the frequency of posts compared to prior?

 

[mewtini]

hm, what do you mean?

 

[Bluwiikoon]

Like, not really getting too much of an impression from rari before due to lack of posts, but then the Trebek push makes them post a whole lot more in a short space.

 

[kyeugh]

i'm sorry that i didn't get what was happening earlier on :p

ftr i’m not shading you/rari, was just explaining the stuff that was pinging me

 

[Bluwiikoon]

There's still a whole lot of day left, but I feel that a lot of these discussion points/vibes do give any real!cops some good leads on where to check next. Again, though - don't feel pressured to reveal your Actual Cop status unless you're about to get lynched or have more than ~2 checks.

 

[mewtini]

If it helps, I could elaborate more about my prior experiences? ^^

oh hey! would you mind talking more about this?

Sure thing! ^^ I think I only ever actually played one game before the vbulletin wipe of '08, but my involvement went as follows:

-Got lovers'd by somebody
-That somebody got suspicions thrown on them in thread
-I post like "guys, they're not mafia! I can't explain how but you just have to trust me"
-Get stabbed by mafia the next night because logically I could only be either cop or lovers

Not sure how that particular game went thereafter, but I feel that in those days the threads and speculations were a lot more compact. Certainly, nowhere near as impressive as 30 pages on day 1!

Other than that, I have occasionally read some game threads (such as TvTropes mafia) and played a couple games on EpicMafia. Alas, I could only ever get two other friends to play on EpicMafia with me so it was always meme games. ^^;
