And Verbal's isn't?

Verb slanks like a mf’er but proved he had read the thread. Not accurately, lol, but he read it, so he’s at least active enough to avoid a top slot on my WTL list. 
 

Tig said she would read it and didn’t - that’s avoidance imo.

Nyn's probably scum

This on the other hand…

 

LMAO at saying he’ll catch up but he’s read enough to know Nyn is scum 🤣

Yes, he's a special brand of awesome. But it was a great intro to the game post. Made me feel special. 😄

Is he just joking? Or is this a magic 8 ball read? 

[Nynaeve]

So I gotta ask.

What does the bela icon mean when you mark that on a post? Good? Bad? Cheeky?

 

It kinda blows that you cant like a post. The heart sends mixed messages if i like the content but not the person posting it... lol

Well the fun part about rand is that you really can't tell. Even a year after the fact... it's a doozie. But I'm good with the post from him xD

[Ithillian Turambar]

Bela doesn't seem to have a confirmed meaning.

 

Some people say it means awesome. I thought it meant hugs... like an emotional support animal

 

So I might have be saying awesome to things that were tragic.

 

I think thanks is the most neutral one.

It is kinda open to interpretation, I guess. Personally it means something like "God-like", as we all shelter in the hoof of the Creator. So I suppose it really is indistinguishable to the fire sword (Callandor?) but cuter.

My style? I hate you all, I don't trust any of you and am willing to rip your faces off as you take me down. Probably something like that. 

 

Or I suppose more truthfully, everyone thinks I am super suspicious, everyone ignores all my reasoning, I whine like a little b**ch about how everyone hates me, most people say "sounds like frustrated town". But wait til I actually rand wolf, then you will all think I'm a wolf and eliminate me... wait, there is a flaw in that plan... meh, flaws can be worked out.

 

Basically I'm a professional decoy.

Expand  

So you're saying that your normal play style is to react emotionally to people suspecting you until it gets you lynched?

so yeah TONS of shade my friend TONS!

Haha no bill of rights = not a real gov't 

 

Actually though I seriously respect non attorney court staff for putting up with members of one of the most caustic professions when they're at their most stressed out. I'm not gonna be a litigator because it's such a grind.

I guess you are supposed to tap in the box before you do the quote things. I'll go back to this ^^^ in a second.

 

Anyways, I was going to start with that Heavy is heavy on the prose, and yes I do know that very well.

 

But the reaction on my vote was massive. He went from I hate you you wolfy wuffer, to it's not fair you all pick on me, to well I guess this is the way it must be, to I don't care Lynch me anyways. Basically the five stages of grief in like, 3 pages? Wasn't expecting quite so much.

 

Ok back to my attempt to quote stuff from Marsh with his reactions to Heavy. 1st post, says no alignment read on Heavy.  2nd post puts alignment as Mafia 1st but still might be Town. 3rd post unvotes. 4th post Asks Heavy to explain his posts. Mafia who doesn't want to die or Town with important roles.

 

So now I'm thinking. Is Marsh a Mafia who knows Heavy is Town or is Marsh a Mafia who is trying to help out a team mate? 

 

Either way, I now have Marsh as Mafia twice and Heavy only once. Which means, in the What's behind that Door? Game, you always pick the other door.

 

Vote Ironeyes (Marsh)

 

 

Expand  

That unvote was off of Dice, Ithi. Rather than trying to save Heavy I was removing my joke vote before an anticipated period of inactivity. The other stuff, well, your interpretation is defensible. I'm holding off on committing to my first wolfping after years of being out of practice. From the outside it could look like defending him in a subtle way.

Maybe, but also a way to try and make people worry about who they are voting. 

Expand  

Spend 3 years and $100,000 in tuition learning that nothing is certain and everything can be second guessed and then you'll understand 😅 The word "may" has become the most used one in my vocabulary.

  On 4/20/2025 at 1:09 PM, HeavyHalfMoonBlade said:

So not a lot going on.

 

Not sure I like Marsh's reasoning about me having to be mafia or a power role or whatever, it seems to be reaching too far. But will need to see where he goes with that reasoning. What other data he collects.

 

Don't really like Dice's eliminating for the lols - but again, lols is hardly AI and he has not really taken it anywhere - hasn't manufactured an argument and then doubled down or anything like that.

 

Didn't like Ithi's reasoning for her vote on me - but it was early doors and someone has to make the first real vote. But Ithi is also casting suspicion on nearly everyone that says something - which I would be a lot more suspicious of if I wasn't doing the same thing. So there is that.

 

Ed is poking people but not really contributing, and that pretty much goes for everyone else in terms of solving but at this point I don't think I can argue that it is AI, there has not really been enough activity to hunt for wolves in. Easter weekend and all that. Things should heat up towards DL, though I have seen that unless at least one wolf is actually under suspicion that can hurt rather than help.

Expand  

Now this. This is helpful. Thanks for the look inside your head.
I would point out that Ed isn't the only one poking without contributing much. That also describes DPR and, to a lesser extent, Turin.

I kinda would have liked Dice to answer.

 

 

Nevermind,  prolly too late now.

Look it's early on in the game. So not much is "damning" as it were at this stage but I do think one can pick up on nuances. Could be luck, could be good intuition or merely just a lot of past experience with a specific player that helps.

 

I do find it odd that you think it's not valid to find you suss if you're not actively playing/hunting wolves. So yeah, that in itaelf, especially if the behavior continues would most definitely have implications. Early on in the joking phase, agreed, prolly not significant.

 

You seemed to have caught up well on the abbreviations which is nice. I think you'll need a few more games under your belt to better understand the game dynamics. For instance, sometimes a player would vote you to gauge your reaction as part of the process of trying to read you. It's not necessarily coming from a bad place/scum trying to get you dead.

 

Now, I want to kill nasties. Help would be kindly appreciated, assuming you're a townie. So... get to it 😜

I like this Nyn. This Nyn feels familiar from ages past.

It's been pretty wild and surreal, but I did get married 6 months ago so there was some good mixed with the bad ^_^

Congrats! I feel slightly more bad now to Vote: Nynaeve

I should probably note before there are any overreactions, I'm still at the "love tap" stage of my catch up 😂

Technically I am not a lawyer, and the American Bar Association will throw me in the gulag if I represent myself as one.

The court therefore places an administrative stay on this vote. You can use this excuse to vote for me after I pass the bar, in 6-9 months. 

 

Lol welcome to Day 1 shenanigans. It's worth paying attention to though, since the "joke vote and then pretend to miss the deadline" tactic does exist.

 

Welcome to the newlywed club! I got married last June.

Well if the Mod did more frequent updates ...

 

I hate going back pages.

 

But I'll admit to my error. The rest still stands though.

Although, that's a tad dramatic. 3 days in and we're at 9 pages lol.

 

I am trying my best to not be Zander 2.0 and spam the heck out of this Thread.

 

Just as well I have my other things to keep me busy.

For the players new to the game, a classic drive-by post executed perfectly. 10/10

Expand  

How was mine?

[RandA lThor]

Caught up!

 

Have given some tells that I need to figure out: Nyn, Ithi, Turin, Ironeyes, Dice, Heavy

 

The rest including me a lil more quiet and vibing. Could obviously be due to IRL reasons like myself, but Id wager scum are split between the two groups.

 

Heavy read initially to me as discombobulated town... but maybe Im too trusting

 

Ithi's reasoning post felt like it had some gems in it, one way or the other.

 

There is, I feel as much as possible from current info, less chance that all of Dice, Ironeyes, and Heavy are all town.

 

Will ruminate more, and get back to the wedding Im supposed to be at in the mean time 😂

[RandA lThor]

Unvote

 

Things seem like they might be getting a little srs soon 👀

Wouldn't be DM mafia if I weren't under suspicion on Day 1 lol. 

My present impression of HalfMoon is that he's feeling out a group that's all used to playing with each other but whose dynamics are unfamiliar to him. That doesn't read on alignment to me yet.

Expand  

 

Bold, I didn't get that at all from his posts.  Reads like defense - especially since you didn't address Eddie??

 

I do agree that it doesn't seem to be AI though.  To me Heavy reads like new town, if only because I don't see new scum doubling down on the very thing that someone has called them out for.  I know when I was new scum I preferred to not get entangled with anyone if I could avoid it.

Not that I'm expecting much at this stage of the game but since you chose to adress dpr's post, why adress just his mention of you and HHMB?

This looks good - like a townie hunting, imo.  Or at least not on the same team as IE lol.
