At one point in Clueless, Cher says "Everything I think and everything I do is wrong." and I think of that every time I play one of these mafia games ❤️

I must admit I submitted 8,9 because I knew that my recreational preferences lied not in which specific character to embody, but in the embodiment itself. I mistakenly believed 'twould not achieve high results. I was loathe to imagine robbing another of an opportunity they prized, so I opted to choose my favorite flavor of ice cream. *resumes playing piano loudly and poorly*

Her outfit was far from considered the norm, her footwear bedecked with pelts. The crowd did gasp and gaze upon her, As she descended to the dance floor. Her descent continued before their eyes, Fair maiden could descend no more.

The role which one might suitably refer to a lady of my standing would be amongst the following: Bean, French, Extract

Johnny Keats posted:I'm thinking about what information advantage scum can have on us right now. It exists, but is it enough that dumping town info in thread would make it closer to equal? I would also be disinclined to encourage wanton sharing of privileged information. Such frivolity shall not be abided amongst civilized folk such as ourselves. Although I do recognize I have been uncharacteristically forthcoming with my own communications, it is only because I have hoped to adopt a more congenial tone here. *badly plays a Christmas hymn in April and scowls at anyone who sings along*

CubicalSucrose posted:This is a reasonable stance. One thing I have seen scum teams do though (Galaxy Space or whatever the Crab game recently was) is try and retrospectively align their fakeclaims and actions. This is always easier to do in a way that's consistent with the game state if they haven't claimed yet. By keeping town roles hidden longer, we keep the fakeclaim window longer. They already have better knowledge about which roles are "open" vs not. Locking them in early eliminates future wiggle-room late game. I think that's a worthwhile trade-off. But do pray tell, is there not a single list, which has been distributed amongst all of us? So too do these nefarious folk of which you speak not simply have "fakeclaims" but professions which could suitably exist amongst the wicked and the just. Hence divulging this information may not conclusively provide us with actionable knowledge, but would indisputably do so for the wicked.

Were I to receive correspondence, I would not publicly reveal anything which may be privileged. That is, assuming the messenging individual were as intellectual as myself, for I much prefer intelligent conversation above drivel about money and husbands.

It seems as though conversation has dwindled, which is precisely what I predicted would happen during a ball. Is everyone off dancing? How very droll. I suggest we have a game. But not a lively one, for I do abhor liveliness. Which of your fellow ball attendees would you wish to... -know better, accomplished via nocturnal investigation? -engage in a private discussion, separate from the distractions of the crowd? -uninvite from these festivities?

And no less due to men's baffling preference for women with beauty, grace, or congeniality. One would think 'twould not be so difficult to seek a man who prefers unsalted potatoes, staring off into the distance, and silence (interrupted only by extremely loud unasked-for music).
