People have already mentioned that Emmy's play seems a little bit different, and I found it a little suspect how she immediately jumped on the abstain vote when I started it, and then two seconds later pounced on seshas. In retrospect this is probably just... Emmy being Emmy. I kind of wanted to see how she reacted to me voting for her, but she didn't react to it at all so I later retracted that vote. I wasn't really all that set on an Emmy lynch, but since people were just throwing votes out there that's where I went. I'm probably going to just stay as no vote, because while I guess yeah a D1 lynch gives us some information even if it's wrong, I'd just rather not be a part of it since it's not really my playstyle to vote without reasonable suspicion based on flips, voting history, role claims, and other mechanical information. In TVTropes mafia I basically washed my hands of it by leaving a joke vote on JackPK's dead body. Thinking back to that game none of the mafia really gave any tells on D1 anyway, so I'm going to continue to be skeptical about this kind of D1 play. If you asked me what the optimal way to play would be, it would be a D1 abstain followed by lynches every day after that, but since that's going against the grain of how people want to play I'm basically in a "whatever, do what you wanna do" mindset right now.

I'm just giving my earnest thoughts about the game and I don't really care how that makes me appear right now. If I were mafia I'd probably be making a more concerted effort to "look towny" but I'm not too worried about doing that as town. You can keep asking me questions if you want but I've pretty much said all I feel like saying at this time about my own thoughts. I don't have any real scum reads on anyone but I am reasonably confident that Tofu, mewtini, and bluwiikoon are town.

do you feel that way now, or are you saying you felt that way as you read it? (i.e. did you read/vibe with his explanation?)

is there anyone else you have thoughts about?

I skimmed his explanation, and it just felt very weird to drop a lynch vote out of nowhere with no immediate rationale as to why, or even an implied rationale (like kyeugh just kinda dropped a lunch vote on me out of nowhere, but I feel like you could tell it was so she could get more information out of me and get me to post more), and then have it revealed as just kind of like a test for Trebek, to get into his head. Most of me just wants to chalk it up to the fact that Keldeo is like 3 parallel universe ahead of me and seems to know what he's doing here, but there's a part of me that just can't shake that it feels a bit off. And yeah, I know he said he's trying a new playstyle, but that kinda seems like a convenient enough excuse. As for everyone else, no thoughts really. That thing with Keldeo is the only thing that jumped out at me at first glance
 
I'm really, really sorry for not posting, like, at all, but I just genuinely can't manage to read anything of relevance out of toDay. The only things I found even slightly suspicious were the WIFOM-Macavity Claim and kyeugh imploring the Mafia to read more into the kill flavor, since they are pretty much the only ones who would know exactly why and how someone was killed :/

thanks! yeah i just wanted a response tbqh, i also didn't think VM's comments last night made total sense as scum since they were semi-clearly going to attract some attention by virtue of their tone - like, i didn't agree but i think that's just a fundamental difference in playstyle? lmk what everyone else thinks about that

thanks for explaining the emmyvote, that makes sense to me for now and i would probably agree with you if i didn't think she was likely to play a bit erratically either way. i was hoping we'd see her reaction too ...
(btw vm, i am sorry for maybe contributing to your frustration yesterday. that wasn't my intention)

ummm. someone tell me what to think about stryke's posting, idrk what to do since nothing that made me light TR him in tvt really applies right now (where he wasn't super active, but made a couple of bluntly-worded original takes that went against thread consensus and a sensical readlist)
i think i feel slightly worse maybe but that's only really because i can't tell how genuine the confusion is
i don't want the ultracool lynchtrain unless it starts turning something else up

stryke until further notice.,

what do you mean by this?
Click to expand...
Well, I just found it weird that kyeugh posted this, because I don't get why the Mafia should care about the flavor:
actually i think the mafia should look at flavor more because every time we killed one of our own last game they glared at us in death and none of us noticed. just saying bro. just had to put that self own down

oh, gotcha.

i don't mind that comment because it was meant to be jovially self-referential as i read it (the joke being that main ingroup mafia in tvtropes didn't know when they killed off the secret, "outgroup" mafia). i don't think her saying that was alignment-indicative, but i think i like your thought
 
Not really, no. It seemed like a pretty standard reaction test to me - though that might both be because the metas I've played in have been a bit different and because I might have skimmed over a few of the #973 posts.
 
i think if the mr ultracool wagon turned into a myuma one and we were between stryke/myuma that would feel ideal

cool, thanks! i guess what i meant to ask was did it impact your reads of anyone involved?
 
(i would feel comfortable in a stryke vote still, but i would rather stryke/myuma than x/ultracool right now i think)
