Hello friends I am the hot or cold mini game. CPig kept saying "no no no it's random" but he didn't return the money I paypaled him, as a bribe. So, you know.

Anyway I can use my hot or cold ability and see if we are hot or cold on threats to town by submitting three names. So I'm taking suggestions on three players.

Interestingly, I think I can submit the names of dead players.

So who Yas all got.

JenX, Sub Rosa and John Cena.

even if cckeane was making sense right now, when has crowd-sourcing a role decision in mafia ever ever benefitted town....? lol

the "correct" way to use a vig is to kill someone at 3/4 of the way through the day that has the most votes on them.

As a real vote on ac, this looks really bad.

It starts out broken quote vote, but immediate follow up with real vote.

Rarity's recent posting has a real "uh oh pressure is on better make content happen" vibe. 6 posts without a read on D1 isn't as damning as you want it to be and dropping six quotes in one post makes it look like you're doing way more work than you are.

This isn't a read but like how do you gently caress up quoting me in a post with the relevant text in the post

Scum are, in general, very concerned with trying to convince their *accusers* that they are wrong about finding scum. Town are more concerned with finding scum. Complaining that I'm not interacting with your defense further cements your alignment as scum.

Idle Amalgam posted:

I agree with this

I don't agree that I'm ignoring posts. My primary read on AC comes from the fact that they immediately pressed for more information about a claim early in the day. My secondary reason for thinking them scum is that their most recent jump onto the Rarity vote, one of the two vote leaders, with a case that is...meh. Yes, I'm not talking about other posts, but that's simply because they don't make me think they are or aren't scum.

Amni has been generally making snipey posts like this. I think Amni thinks his meta is to think I'm scum regardless of the game, so he's leaning in to what he thinks his meta is. I don't think he's actually suspicious of me, just feigning it. Would vote there too.

...my meta is to think *you're* scum?


This is a callback to your first post being "holy poo poo a lot of post" which has proven highly effective scum-tell in SA mafia games.

Eh, I don't see AC as scum rn.

The hal questioning post IS a bit awkward but I seriously doubt someone's gonna lie about a learning disorder just for the sake of a mafia game.

Other than that I don't think AC is really trying to convince amni of anything like claimed. Plus AC's push on Rarity seems genuine.

without rereading the thread my opinion of Rarity is:

I don't know I haven't read anything they've posted.

More specifically, it's a 24 person game and trying to keep up with everything means that I'm keeping up with no one, so I'm skimming right now and paying attention to people that jump out at me. Rarity has not jumped out at me so I have no current opinion, will go reread since you asked though Yami.
