Disregarding meta, Pera, is there nobody that stands out to you at all?

"Not at present.

The one thing I can say is that I perhaps realize the cacophony itself might be telling.

On Tobbs: The first to vote is Slamburger, joined by PMom, joined, unjoined, and then rejoined by Kashuno. Kashuno leaves again.(1); MMT joins, this is a stickup joins, Kashuno rejoins, PMOM leaves, chores joins, leaves, and then rejoins, Tired Moritz joins, Kashuno bails, i am the bird joins.

As far as people willing enough to target Tobbs to file a vote, Kashuno flails wildly, and five others have remained. The only people to bail and stay gone from Tobbs are PMom, currently in second place, but holding a sole vote on SSV, alone. Surety that the Tobbs thing wasn't working out, or an attempt to differentiate himself from the rest of his comrades? Impossible to say; Kashuno, now targeting PMom; and Slamburger, now supporting the FL vote without either of the original supporters - that seems odd to me, but what do I know?

PMOM has the temerity once again to instruct me in how I choose to speak which I continue not to appreciate but will not hold against him. We have Kashuno flailing wildly - which, alright, seems to be what Kashuno does, but at least for the moment ending up targeting PMom; Tobbs; SSV, perhaps in retaliation for PMom's vote; Tobbs bails; Max bails; Flying Leatherman joins and Kashuno rejoins.

As for TMMadman, Tobbs is flailing like crazy. I'm sure he's gone around the table as to why, but apply a vote on and off like crazy like so seems wildly ridiculous to me. Or maybe it is typical behavior that will not strike any of you as suspicious. Moat joins this vote with Tobbs.

On Flying Leatherman, chaoslord opens, Tobbs joins, then both retreat. Bottleknight joins. Slamburger joins. I'm not sure. This seems suspicious, and I guess I'll echo MMT's call for our friends to "reread" BK.

As for the sole vote on SSV, I have already discussed Pmom's temerity, but I will note that while he insults me, he does not try to build a movement against me. Ask yourself: if you were one of our killers, would my way of doing things irritate you enough to draw your ire? Would you focus on me? I think this might actually be a bit of an argument for PMom's innocence, which I am not comfortable stating outright, but seems to be the case to me? At least with the available evidence. Why would a killer want a less-experienced investigator to speak up more? I don't know. Maybe it is cover.

As far as content posts go, this is pretty lovely. But I suppose it was good for me to give it a try. I will reread BK in a little bit, and to be fair, reread MMT. I believe they are likely to oppose one another, but I'd like to reread their statements to have a better grasp on that.

My apologies to my comrades for failing to do better. I am not willing to apply a vote at this time."

I have a gut town read on pera.

##vote MurmurTwin

I'm not joking and this isn't personal and you know I love you but this is a meta-read. MMT knows me very well - better than any of you (even you, BK.) MMT knows when I'm honestly having trouble understanding a concept and - thanks to loving me in Survivor, when I'm pretending to. MMT is confident she can flowertalk me into believing her. An idiot-rear end town player like me would be the perfect goat-lynch to carry to the end accidentally helping my literal best friend excel in a brilliantly-done scum game (would you expect less from her?) From what I know of MMT, which is months of watching her lie to our fellow players in ABB2 for my benefit, including one time when she lied in order to protect me, the inclusion of this line is not "mafia mommying" for my benefit - it is a legitimate attempt to save me from the rest of you so that I might be useful to her. Sorry, honey. You know I love you and I do appreciate the help which, hey, I could be wrong, I'll answer below.

:sympathy:

I kept wondering why the gently caress people kept accusing me of having a power role. Post restriction. Nice. Got it. Just trying to have fun in my first Ecco game. She puts so much work into the story I honestly thought more of you were gonna take it as a roleplaying thing and when it ended up I - shutup Kash - was the only one, well, I'm stubborn, I guess. I wanted Ecco to know I appreciated her efforts and that I was going to take the game seriously.

"Well you can do that by playing effectively instead of being a stubborn rear end in a top hat about it" yeah well thanks

Dropping it. Thanks again for the advice, MMT, darling - the realization that if I was already having trouble keeping up AND trying to maintain a pr (what, is pr/PR seriously a thing? Jesus.)

(a) for the record, how much SA Mafia have you played before? FOUR GAMES, FOUR WINS (largely thanks to my peers). And every single loving time I've been town - "even this time," she says with an eyeroll - and I hate it playing town. I know there's a "lynch all liars" consensus but if I can ever find a way to lie to benefit town, I leap on the chance (like I did in the wizard game). I guess I feel I've done ehhhh marginally better each time? I played chat-based mafia for so long and those games only lasted an hour or two at most; this multi-day "okay I guess I'm done now" walks away for three hours "oh god there's a hundred loving messages and all of them are incomprehensible" thing drives me crazy.

(b) if you had an imaginary gun and had to shoot the scummiest person in the game, who would you target and why? Hmm... well, let's apply the sort of logic I'd apply in an FRG when I didn't feel confident I had a grasp on the power structures.

As an individual, PMom is rude to me, hates the way I play (or at least claims to), feels free openly insulting me, is confident that I will not be of value to town - I can trust PMom not to be loving with me just to gently caress with me personally. It might be a mid-con to get at me, but then again, PMom would be free to interpret the preceding as the exact same. Regardless:

Pinterest Mom posted:

my vote preference is roughly pera>ssv>moat>tobbs>bk

Obviously, I'd avoid shooting myself (at least in-game), and I happen to know I'm town. ("Sure, you do." Yeah, yeah.) So now that I'm back, I'll look at SSV first, and PMom himself last.

SirSamVimes posted:

imo you shouldn't try to read games at all until the playercount goes down a bit

I have nothing meta to offer on SSV. They seem like a cool enough person. Their postcount is lowish, but I've certainly no business arguing that that means diddly - especially since, while I'm sure this last post here is joking, truthfully once the playercount goes down but the body of evidence has had a nice, long time to collect against the scum players and people can start getting caught in lies, misdirections, working together... that's when things really get going. I've remarked that D1 seems pretty loving useless to me. Unless I'm mistaken, I've received at least one D1 vote every game I've played simply because I haven't posted enough.

I'm not willing to throw a stone through glass house at SSV. The scummiest thing they appear to be doing is target PMom over Pmom's admittedly lovely attitude, which is part of his charm. SSV, perhaps take your focus off PMom if more aren't willing to support you in this endeavor? Hard to advise appropriately. Sombra rules. Good fortune!

Is this not a smoking gun? I dunno. I wouldn't wanna get caught telling someone A = B, A = scum, and then appear to be demonstrating this behavior. Is this Serious Tobbs? Shitposting Jokester Tobbs? Friendly neighborhood Tobbs? A banana? I can't say.

Come to think of it, I gotta be honest, Tobbs is kinda... creating? chaos? Like he talks about how his postcount is so high and there was a joke about them being value posts but honestly, truthfully, is Tobbs just loving doing anything he can to make D1 as hectic and crazy as loving possible?

Because idk if that's Tobbs' scum game, it's definitely not my scum game, but it sounds fun.

If D1 has to end with a townie lynch then I'm definitely the way to go.
Don't go pushing cases on randoms hoping to get a claim out of them close to deadline scumnuggets.

Then he tries to pull this "if D1 has to end with a townie lynch" bullshit, which got called out earlier, but I've done that in prior mafia games (it's especially effective in person when you can look really, really sincere)

Tobbs Gnawed posted:

I mean, it's possible that she's not going to give the reads that she said she would after the analysis, which would look suspicious, but personally I'd wait a bit longer to see if she delivers.

This is very kind of him if he is town, and kind-in-theory if he (and, say, MMT) are trying to get me to idiot-rear end them to victory. I don't know how big scum teams are in 21 person poo poo-talking mafia but insofar as I can tell, two seems too few, so.

Tobbs Gnawed posted:

Are you sure? Infinitum has 2x as many posts as what, 80% of the players and he hasn't been playing since last night. Hell, I've got the most posts and this is pretty light by my usual standards.

I mean, okay. Infinitum and apparently Tobbs post a lot, and it ends up confusing me. Having only Tobbs now and not Infinitum means only one of them is going at once which is better for me trying to keep up, but eh.

Overall I am quite suspicious of Tobbs, but I am also suspicious of the presently quite large dogpile on him. D1 dogpiles feel like coinflips. Has Tobbs earned a coinflip? I dunno.
