I was a tracker before; got no results from tracking Dead Cow, Asiina, and Atomic Soda, in order. Now my role flavor is a glitched haiku and my anime’s profile is determined rather than cutesy, so...

huh. That doesn't sound very friendly. Like you and Juch, my picture looks less happy now, but I don't have no creepy glitchy Zalgo junk! Sounds suspicious to me.

for real though how scummy is it that 50 jumped right to vigging somebody before he even knew what the gently caress was going on in the new thread

flerp confirmed he was trying to kill me so that proves Nat was telling the truth about protecting me

jon joe was described as a troublemaker and prolly just bullshitting about being the same thing as Nat to try and save his violent yandere rear end

50's just trying to eliminate a protective role, scummy as gently caress

They were given some pretty solid, and genuine reads early on. Even though the bit on LD fell apart as early game convictions tend to do, I felt like that was some grade A work.

I would much rather have no president if it's not someone with confirmed alignment.

hey, if everyone wants to kill 50 anyway, just elect me president and I promise the vig is getting used on him.

I will also promise to avoid raising the posting requirements, in honour of Nat's persuasive discussion on the topic. Also, the worst of the lurkers are already gone.

Dead Cow posted:

I'm concerned that the scum team might have known that post count was super important.

Everyone knew it was important. The mod said "make X many posts or die." People for some reason couldnt even bring themselves to shitpost up to 30, so they died. Man, I thought you sounded kinda town before but this is some uniquely empty setup spec filler content.

##vote dead cow

Dead Cow posted:

I don't have much meta, but who was posting more than they usually do? Wasn't Bif one of them?

Haha this is also a highly filler question, which has already been answered, even. By nearly laughing somebody outta the thread for thinking I was posting an unusually high amount, I recall the words "weirdest post in Mafia history" being thrown around

Framing my actions as damning after they just ran a game with me in it doing my thing that I do as opposed to trying to figure out why I did it sounds like false upsettery.

you mean FSN where you lied constantly about your abilities? I thought Nat said it was the "immediately trying to vig him" part that was damning, though.

as for you lying about roles, I definitely remember you doing that last game as town but that might be the only game I've actually played with you. (I'm not counting Shine where you were in the other thread and very quickly died) Token says its just a thing you do as town OR scum?

The vigging nat was because jonjoe was scum, and the other flipped dude marked nat20 and tired moritz, so I was picking between the two, I chose nat20 because I think they are scum.

jon joe is now showing in the OP of the old thread as an SK. (check the spoilerblock flip list) I don't believe a word of any of that "oh no, my role is nice and protective exactly like what Nat claimed already!" bullshit.

If you really think him and flerp are in cahoots to "prove" that protection on me though, I wouldn't mind flipping flerp to test :3:

So I posit that there's something that let the scum know that the post count stuff was more than "hey you jerks, post something". You having a reactionary vote on me because you're the one I recalled having an unusually high post count is terrible and you should feel bad.

How much more clear does the mod have to be?

oh and if people didn't just notice that, JJ sure was helpful in drawing attention to it by going on about how he had to post more to not die.

I read the post count thing as an anti lurker mechanic, but after the events at the last school it appears it's an actual game mechanic. That's a huge difference in the way people would treat posting. All the low posters who are gone either through the night kills or the mod mechanic have been town.

One is a mod saying, hey jerks, post. The other is a "players in the game can effect this mechanic (50 raising the limit)". So my concern is that there's a "you get some sort of benefit for high post counts that the town isn't aware of" or something along those lines.

Ka-peesh?

I dont think you see what I'm getting at either. Which is, your point is super weird because I was right to call you out for posting some extra meaningless setup spec, so now you're getting overdefensive to argue about how your point was actually important, and that's why it makes no sense when you're getting into these tortured wordings like contrasting "lurker mechanic" against "actual game mechanic"

Right, so if 50 is scum, as president, would he have raised the cut off to just below one of his scum buddies? take out like 3 or 4 town at once? Cause that sounds like a pretty good deal for scum to use.

yeah, with the FSN reminder too about how naturally full of tall tales he is, I'm cooling on him a little. Still think its pretty rude though to try and blast that vig first thing before he even understood the changes in his own PM. For all we know this brand new shiny thread could've changed up alignments as well as abilities.
