Nostalgfia - GAME OVER SCUM WIN

Since there seems need to be clarification here, "more than" is the part that makes it 5, not 4.

- Softlynch: If someone has received more than 20% (rounded up) of the available vote and holds a plurality of votes when day ends naturally, then they die, and are removed from game.

I guess the "(rounded up)" bit is redundant though.

Another, totally orthogonal clarification that I feel the need to make:

You can interact with items you have at any time by messaging me in your QTs. Many of them have no effect until nightfall, however. Regardless, I'll try to process item requests in your quicktopics within 24 hours, and let you know whether or not their effects can be used by nightfall.

*barks twice, runs around in a circle, then points nose towards the abstract concept of people in the future excusing a mislynch with 'the dog having some sort of gimmick was unhelpful, confusing, and distracting so who could blame me for getting it wrong' after greedily ramming through a d1 softlynch*

(Sunspider promptly hops down on all fours and totters about making bad bark impressions, ripping the stuffing out of perfectly sensible arguments Because Dog, and starting to pop a squat right over the entire game itself, ready and willing to make a mess of everything. From offstage right, whistles and hurried footsteps are heard, as The Dogcatchers enter stage. Then, still squatting precipitously, Sunspider holds up a small printed missive that says "Actually going after me is bad. You guys are the bad ones for getting mad at me for what I'm doing. I deserve a free pass to do whatever, because I'm just dog. You're the real problem.")

This is my impression of you right now.

again I’m voting wheat cuz I hate fun it’s not that deep

I’m glad we have real wagons now I was getting bored of the same three people talking/barking. more people talking would be even better though. I feel so emasculated after the rush of CH5, I miss being able to very directly threaten people to post

anyways claiming d1 is epic cringe but in the hopes of avoiding an even more pantsless and more awkward d2

im miller?

Gentle persistent screaming

Who ever said Wheat was a Lurker? Where is this coming from too? And can you tell me when I said that?

I'll grant you that using "lurker" there was poor choice of words on my part, but I don't really think it's all that far off when you claim in this same post that you voted Wheat for being "as intentionally unhelpful as possible", which is a really weird interpretation of reality in a world where about half of the playerlist has either not voted or not made enough posts to count on one hand yet.

It's also strange to me that you keep trying to push this narrative about Wheat being intentionally unhelpful, while outright ignoring all of the reasonable opinions that Wheat's been freely giving out in between dog jokes. I don't believe that calling Wheat "actively unhelpful" is at all justifiable unless you're cherry-picking evidence.

But hey, while I've got your attention you dang ectotherm. You've kept a random-vote (and a bandwagon vote literally right after Pharms' vote) on me, for using the word Cold-Blooded. Now, you're trying to make me look bad and get me killed for things I never did or said. You've tunnel-visioned on me, and your every post has been about me, with next-to-zero regard for anything else happening.

The reason I've been asking you about your various bandwagon comments is because I wanted to see if you would be able to figure out the correct answer on your own, which is that bandwagoning early on D1 is actually a good thing because otherwise nothing ever happens worth talking about for a long time.

(Also for what it's worth, I didn't even see Pharm's vote there until after I'd already hit post, but if I had I would have voted for you there anyway, if only to try and get a read on you since you're one of the few people here that I've never played mafia with before.)

Sunspider(3) - Pharmacy, Coldblooded, Palamedes
Wheat(3) - Seedy, Solaris, nercania-orccelga, Sunspider

It's interesting that you have such negative opinions of "bandwagoners" when they're voting for you, but seemingly have no problem with any of the people voting for Wheat. Though maybe that's a bit unfair considering that you are in fact one of the people getting voted for here.

On second thought fuck it.

Vote Nercania-Orccelga

not entirely sure that i like you going for this option cold-blooded but 3/5 is always a very bad fun part of the curve to be in.... im not going to change my vote yet but this is definitely a shrimpteresting place to be in...

Well shit, I just remembered what a miller role is. My initial thought is that that role is too broken and that RobotNerd wouldn't have put it in the game, but I'll ask in my QT anyway just to make sure.

At least this solidifies in my mind that Wheat is town and that one of the people voting for them is probably scum.

like, CSJ, the difference between me, an innocent and lovely townsperson who can do no wrong and granola, an as of yet unproven and mysterious type is that he got the first post and i got the second

Between that post and now though, there's been nothing much to suggest it's any less of a decent choice. At worst, we will deny someone the chance to steal their gun. If there are items, odds are there's a scum role that can take them.

Better than killing Spider or Solaris, imo.

Looking over the thread, Robottobt has made a grand total of 1 empty post. I feel much safer voting for them than Wheat or Sunspider since they at the very least, are either making things more interesting and entertaining.

Voting Robottobt, and opening my present.

Hey so first of all the only difference between Wheat's more useless posts and the good chunk of the playerlist who've barely posted is that his shitposts were done as a dog. Agree on comments of cherry picking evidence, not super feeling offing Coldblooded on a hunch this early even though I sort of get where it's coming from as of the last coulle posts.

Sunspider I'm not saying that anyone argued you into voting Wheat, in case that's not clear, I'm saying that it seems like you were intentionally avoiding jumping on him despite everything you were saying otherwise with a pretty eh reason and then as soon as you had an excuse from someone else you were immediately there, so it wouldn't entirely be your fault when he died. It is also okay to correct yourself! What's getting me is that it feels like your whole thing has been defending yourself and going for the one other person that you had both mentioned and was getting real attention/votes. I dont know if it's a coincidence.

CSJ, why specifically mention Solaris when, as far as I can tell, that hasn't been on the table yet?

seedy, if you did believe in fun who would you be looking at instead of the dog?

CSJ, why specifically mention Solaris when, as far as I can tell, that hasn't been on the table yet?

Meant to say wheat, sorry for any confusion. I think the arguments already made in their defence are reasonable enough.

On second thought fuck it.

Vote Nercania-Orccelga

Okay Coldblooded, walk me through this. You just doubled down on all your half-baked suspicions on me, correct? AND YET, you changed your vote away from me with no reason, in exchange for a new bandwagon on someone who hasn't defended themselves, the moment people start to suspiciously side-eye you.

Something isn't internally consistent here, friendo. Allow me to explain via some florid flippin' prose.

SUNSPIDER:
A bandwagon, reasonless, blinders-eyed vote
Tunnel-visioning in on whomever.
Why zig-zaggin', then? Without reason you wrote?
Did this act seem, to you, to be clever?
If one has a suspicion, it follows to think
That a sensible Townie'd pursue it.
If you're backing away just 'cause you caused a stink?
Then this newfound contrition seems loose-knit.

Day 1 reads are shaky, and these waters are mudded,
But for now, for that reason, I'm voting Coldblooded.

This is my impression of you right now.

*looks at all of your posts and laughs in the same awful human tone as before for having doing the same things by constantly changing what your stated motivations are, and also because dog does not mind being lynched if the people voting for them are okay with the scrutiny that doing so brings*

Oh whatever. I will fight you. I will fight a horror-dog, I don't even care. This isn't over, punk. If you think barfing up a waluigi board and finally emoting an actual read or two made you so endearing and valuable that you can go back to mucking around barking and peeing on the game from Day 2 forward you've got another thing coming doggo, and it is a rhyming quatrain with your name on it.

pala (autocorrected to Paula, new nickname?) thank you for taking my worldview into account
sunspider’s been shady to me (and I’ve been shady at her) since the xtreme helpfulness and the “why are you aggroing people who are posting when lurkers exist”
but since she became god and got day actually started and people talking I don’t really feel like lynching quite yet out of sheer grateful energies (can be talked into it if people actually talk)
cold-blooded is in the very special position of not having done anything particularly wrong but setting of people’s sensors all the same

@cold-blooded: what’s so broken about millers? I know some people think they’re strictly for the bastards but I’ve always thought they were a pretty standard role...

I've been summoned
Also hey I know basically nothing about mafia games???? At least on forums. So forgive me if I don't have any idea what I'm doing. [haha I don't] but what's up my famsquadians?

Also I'm going to open my present

ebwop: *off

I'd disagree with cold that millers are 'broken'. They're just an extra level of obfuscation. I'm mostly convinced that Spider is a bomb (possibly vengeful?) and that's why there's so many accusations and callouts to attract attention. If so, baiting a lynch is pretty counter-productive.

Unvote

Spoids' afk hunting earlier gave me some scummy vibes and of the current prospective lynchees she's definitely the most suspicious. However, as long as we're ditching old metas I'd like to rexamine the necessity for D1 lynches. There's good info to be gained from the flip and wagons, but mafia games are so rare these days that I'm loathe to deny players at least one night of shenanigans.

Previewedit: while I've been mostly ignoring csj's poor reasons to pursue me, that bomb scare post is definitely hmmmmmmm inducing

Yeah, that's more or less what I initially guessed but I had to make sure. On that note, do you have any thoughts on anyone besides granola and the top two wagons?

Oh wow that was meant at CSJ last page, totally missed this one (curse you phone posting).

I currently want to kill some people but if im being honest I kind of agree with granola and seedy.

Granola, A+ for bringing new stuff up but unless I missed things (likely, curse you phone posting) do you have thoughts on some more debated people?

Thanks.

Withdrawing my vote.

feelin' the coldblooded-and-now-granolaman scumteam, you heard it here first folks

Spoids: likely scum
CSJ: maybe scum, likely allied with spoids
Wheat: null. The dog thing is pretty distracting and was initially creating the illusion of more activity than it was, but I'm feeling a little better now that the persona has acquired the ability to perform very precise tail wags and I can buy the "d1 is fake" school of thought.
Cb: potentially allied with wheat.
Seedy: leaning town
Solaris: town, but maybe rexamine if csj flips town
Mirdini/pala: unreadable
Everyone else: afraid of box guns

Also I dont 100% believe the miller claim but I dont have any reason to distrust seedy yet so whatever, it's miller time
