How many steakhouses do you know that have a dress code? I've been to zero restaurants with enforced dress codes beyond "wear clothes I guess?".

i've had this conversation with my gf a few times -- there's definitely still a very small handful of restaurants with enforced dress codes but they're basically a dying breed at this point, the world has, by and large, moved on from giving a poo poo about formal wear

the last time we went somewhere fancy that she swore up and down wouldn't allow me in if i wore my regular skate shoes / black jeans / band shirt / random plaid, and she forced me to wear some ridiculous getup........ there ended up being a table full of assholes next to us in khaki shorts and flip flops, lol

she found this less funny than i did

Manny's is pretty much the quintessential American Steakhouse, very expensive but (at least when I was last there) quite good and dripping in that old-school feel. But you could wear whatever there.

Claims don't seem as useful, but I'm the library ghost. Very light breadcrumb in my first word in my first post of the game.

I ninja watched Iggy on N1 and saw bif visit. She was hinting at looking for love, so I thought she was the protagonist of the game, and town read her.

Since then I've been cramming, but I got to WIS10 and have one of those cool powers tonight.

You are a ghost and you haunt the library. You also get really annoyed if people don't return their library books, because other people would like to read them.

Your starting stats are:
WIS 5
VIT 1
CHA 3

Because of your starting stats, you may pick one of the following common oneshot abilities:
- Track: As a night action you may ##track another player, learning who they visited
- Watch: As a night action you may ##watch a player, learning who visits them. You may use this ability on yourself.
- Ninja: When performing a night action, you may combine it with the ##ninja to make your action undetectable

On reaching certain stat levels, you will gain the following personal abilities:
WIS 6: Waving through a window: You don't really need sleep, what with you being dead, so you can observe from the library window. You may ##watch a player, learning who visited them. You may use this ability on yourself.
CHA 6: Invisible: Most people can't actually see you. Your actions will be undetectable from now on.
VIT 6: Already dead: If you die, you will be turned into a stump. Your flip will be janitored. You won't be able to vote or use actions any more, but will be able to talk in the thread as well as any masonries you are a part of.

You are TOWN-aligned. You win when all threats to town have been eliminated.

"Mr Incandenza! Psst, Mr Incandenza!"

Hal awoke to a hushed voice whispering outside his cave.

"There has been an emergency at the shopping mall! Your magical girl powers are needed! Bring your broadaxe!"

Hal needed no other encouragement after hearing this. And it was thus that the residents of Littledove Hachiman City could read the newspaper headline of "Human caught on rampage with battleaxe! Detained until further notice!" the next morning...


Hal Incandenza, TOWN-aligned Tosaka Hiyoko has been arrested on false charges Night 4!

Your starting stats are:
WIS 1
VIT 5
CHA 3

Because of your starting stats, you may pick one of the following common oneshot abilities:
Vigproof: passive ability that protects you from a single killing attack during daytime
Empower: Lets you ##empower a player as a night action, making their action unblockable
Jugg: When performing a night action, you may combine it with the ##jugg to make your action unblockable

On reaching certain stat levels, you will gain the following personal abilities:
WIS 8: Pretty Coore Dark Grey: You are a member of the Pretty Coore Magical Girls (or at least cosplaying as one). On reaching this stat level, you will learn the identity of the other two Pretty Coore members. If more than one of you reaches this stat level, magical things will happen!
VIT 10: Broad Axe: You unleash your trustworthy broad axe to wreck havoc! All of your actions are now unstoppable!
CHA 7: Jackal Pack: You have befriended a pack of local jackals and been accepted into their tribe. You gain a oneshot of ##roleblock, allowing you to block another player's night action.

You are TOWN-aligned. You win when all threats to town have been eliminated.

PHuzz, Myc, and Zoya were on the Spork vote. At least one of those has to be scum, possibly two depending on Yuming, but Yuming had flipped off of Spork basically all of yesterday, so I'm not super interested in looking there.

Zoya could've hammered pretty much whenever, though it seems like waiting as they did would get the most towncred. And that was successful! Zoya is possible for last scum, but I'd have a hard time voting there today.

I'm confident Yuming is town now, so that's nice.

Pmuzz raised the Zoya-hammer point in the masonry, so I don't think it would be both of them together, but it could be either one.

Don't know how I feel about Cube.

Mechanics stuff, prodding lurkers, goes after keats for the Iggy content.
At EOD Cube participates in the spork vs. Illu disucussion saying he would move to spork, but holds steady on keats.

Neutral town read.

D2
Engaged in the Maer content / neutral read

D3
Cube says he will reread and does not. Does not vote Illu.

D4
Looks at poop and vote history, ultimately votes Sporkchan.

**BONUS: Maer went after Cube as a Real Case.

Overall, I see Cube focusing on mechanics and trying to figure things out. Maer going after him makes me think he is town.

Says he was surprised by the Maer flip and posts (this) effort post. It's all very "hmmm could be this or that" with no conclusion.

Does not vote Illu.

The day was short so missing hammer is whatever but the watered down reads are +scum.

D4
Hard push on spork with the role related gotcha. I especially hate this from mycelia because he claims to have targeted spork.

Is it really so hard to believe that spork would've gotten a message from what mycelia did?

I'll say it again, calling spork "forced casual" was an oversell. mycelia is in lock step with PMuzz and they both are out to get spork.

This is my pet case and where I feel the best on ~feeling~ so I will do this as a placeholder. :sparkles:

This post feels weird from a tone perspective to me because it's not curious about Iggy vs. keats' alignments.

Mafia discussion on play styles of voting ~willynilly~ / aside: it is always better to vote willynilly imo becuase you get more reactions that way.

Votes keats and then adds her justification in (here) I agree with this justification for voting keats tbh I was thinking similarly D1 myself.

Switches to spork, votes keats.

I feel like I've come around in a circle here with D1, I'm paranoid about PMuzz and masonries from CPig's game but her reads are similar to mine D1.

D2

Votes Maer.

D3

Here's where we get the post-humous Iggy content (here) and Pmuzz's own Lumpenlist (here).

This list pinged me at the time because of how high a neutral player like Tsie was on the list. I also didn't like how there was more effort put into the Iggy reads than Pmuzz' own reads.

Does the moe thing make sense to anyone who's played the game?

I didn't get that but I didn't use an action last night so I didn't have any mod message. But seems like mycelia and Yuming are claiming their actions were blocked and results replaced with moe? But clearly someone's action worked last night because Zoya is loved

Anyway I'm still the cutest bird but Josef is now second cutest, lookit his lil face
Now this fits to me as scum who know what the moe is but want to appear like they're trying to figure it out.

Pmuzz casts light suspicion on mycelia but then goes at spork hard for the perceived slip.

Overall I can imagine Pmuzz as scum. She is my 2nd best pick in a vacuum. Conspiracy poo poo incoming next post.

If it is mycelia and PMuzz, that means their masonry is a gambit.

By itself, the OMG ILLU IS SCUM vote from PMuzz is one of the strongest scum-feels moments I have from her.

In the situation where Pmuzz/mycelia are scum fakeclaiming a masonry the perspective does fit with PMuzz's offensive on Illu for this,

Zoya votes fast and loose: Iggy, Hal, beet and stays away from keats saying the votes are too ez

At EOD Zoya is after Illu

Neutral read here. (I don't think I've even played in a game where Zoya is scum, though.)

D2

Votes Maer, we later find out that Zoya prompted Josef to track Maer which got her caught.

This is the main reason I think Zoya is town.

I'm obviously missing some of the masonry context but why convince your mason partner to track you scumbuddy WHO IS PERFORMING THE KILL. This is too wild to be a bus imo. I think the PMuzz/mycelia fake-masonry fits better because it is a relatively safe claim in such a role-heavy game.

D3

Illu was Zoya's main read. I don't see much engagement here.

D4

Zoya hangs back trying to get vibes-based reads on who the last two scum are, and ultimately hammers spork.

Not a lot to dig into but the Maer bus scenario just seems ridiculous so I think Zoya is town.
