You think there is nothing going on? There is a lot happening. Scum are trying to set their persona's....even on day 1. Should I post? Should I not post? How do I post without looking scummy? Should I post overtly as a wifom...etc. These are thoughts that go through guilty heads. If you don't think this is happening even on day 1, I'm not sure what I can tell you. Is this WIFOM by Proxy? 😛 As for the "distraction" thing, I'm just having fun right now. I'll metaphorically sober up and calm down on the "distractions" as you call them, and become more serious in the days to come, once we actually have some content to work with. And for the record, I hesitate to put a vote on you Peace, because you do come off as a town scum hunting, and you seem to be pretty narrowly focused on it. But I can't tell if that's how Town Peace scum hunts or a Scum Peace Scum Hunts...

Man, you know how I said sometimes these cards get spooky results? My Dice just rolled a 30 on Peace. I got the Lance card. (That's absolutely flipping amazing in D&D btw) It can be interpreted as such: “Symbolized as a focused force toward a goal or target. Upright represents a defensive action. It isn’t a weapon of defense or subtlety, it’s for those who charge forward with purpose. It can represent tunnel vision. It can represent a challenge or duel is imminent.” If I were to actually believe the cards, I'd say Peace is Town, specially when paired with the High Priestess card. Does make me wonder about that Gladiator comment that someone mentioned earlier. 😉

I love that you think I'm that deceptive. lmao I wonder if Peace is going ship you with Teph and I after that post? On the other, should I start putting my sus on DPR for what looks like a 2nd page of building up a case against Peace? I feel like I've said something like this already in this topic, but people voting me isn't sus. Hell, people sussing me isn't even that sus. I'm like a lightning rod. lol (I'm still surprised I didn't get lynched in last game, even though I wasn't playing in it! 😛) But when I'm town, I always take a good look at those sussing those sussing me.

As far as I'm concerned you didn't say anything of real substance, so there was nothing to actually address. But I did Posit to Teph what his reaction to you teaming us up was, because I can't make heads or tails of it. I addressed your accusation of not scum hunting. Whether ya'll believe I'm not, or I am is up to you all. I think I am in my own way, I just go against the grain, and ya'll just see this. Your last two posts, Are giving me a vibe, ya know? This feels less like scum hunting and more like... Let's run a train, and see who votes last and call those people wolves. 😉

Bah, it was Turin I pulled that for, not GK. I should totally pull one for GK though. Maybe later if I'm feeling spicy.

I thought I did? Because no one was participating! People didn't want anything to do with it. They'd rather cast a vote on Heavy for calling Papa Roach pop music, or Cast a vote on me for bringing roaches to the party, then they were to even say what they're favorite movie was.... And it seemed to me that people kept asking "what's up with the movie thing?". So I felt I had to explain what it was all about, before people starting making up their own stories about what it was all about, as they're apt to do. There really isn't more to it then that. You know how it goes... Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It's like I told Heavy, anything you say or don't say in the Mafia Court will be used against you. 😉 Since you keep pestering me on this, like GK pestered me yesterday... You get a Card from the Deck of Many More Things! Oh damn. first Dice roll was a 100. Gotta reroll. Now you got a 10! So you get... The Construct! I imagine this would look like a Drunk Robotic Parrot. But what does that card mean? A Construct can be a powerful Ally, Guardian, or an Obstacle. Constructs also typically have a Master. Oooooh Scary spoooky stuff.

AFIAK, we can sus people for any number of reasons, however logical or illogical it may seem to others. "Gut" decisions are inherently illogical, ya know? You say it's not scum hunting, but I was the first player to post, and I was the one to break the Ice by asking everyones favorite horror movies that takes place in a cabin or woods. I also had the cockamaney plan to see if I couldn't use people's movies to "read" them, and find scum that way. I knew that was a long shot. Unfortunately, Participation was lacking. As contradictory as it may seem, (and life is full of wonderful contradictions) I didn't expect to catch a scum with the reads, It would have been bloody amazing if I did! (Lmao). As I said, it started as an ice breaker, the reads were secondary benefit. The third benefit is that I might have been able to scum hunt people who jumped on those reads a little to fast. Kind of like how I kept going on about DPR and Jason's mother being the killer of all the campers in Friday the 13th. No one jumped on that. So there was a method to my madness when it comes to scum hunting. Though you'll probably only see madness. I think the last game I played in, I kept rolling dice to see who to lynch. I think I blame Zander for that. 🙃@Tephulis Lol I'm curious about you're take on peace shipping us?

Every child is Goku when they're under 2. So what I read, is that you're reads tend toward misslynching town? Lol

Confident Cringe Peter is arguably the best Peter.

Aight. Took me like a week last game to figure out who the hell Wes was. Lol Reminds me of that whole exchange about being clear on using the same terms/acronyms/language/etc, and here I'm dying on people using different names for people. Lol

This has been driving me nuts. Who is EP? I keep thinking Ed?

Apparently I didn't quote you in my above post. I also can't spell photoshopping without autocorrect butchering me.

DPR is mainly phishing to get others to post their reads/lists, and I suspect he'd do that as either town or scum. I'm waiting to see what he does with more info. Darthe? He had that thing I described as pendantic with DPR, was it a flub? Was it just being Pendantic? I'm waiting for more info GK's been on my ass all day over every little thing. I suspect he'll hound anyone's ass over anything he finds weird. I don't know if this is town behavior, wolf, or just GK. Peace came out of nowhere and voted me. I'm not going to make much out of that, because I'm chill like Pete the cat dude. I'm still wondering what the motivation was. I don't think we ever got any real explanation, so I'm just biding my time hoping to read something, otherwise I'm going to start getting more sus as we get closer to EOD. Heavy, I'm getting the same town vibe as last game, but he's not doing himself any favors this game. If town has a Vig, there's a possibility that town kills Heavy during night if Mafia doesn't get em first. 😛 As to the others I haven't mentioned? I'd say not enough info to really draw any conclusions. A lot of joke votes, no votes, and low info posts. As for you? I dunno yet. IMO photo shipping wolves in my garden was pretty scummy.

I don't know that he has one... But I imagine if he did...

Ya know... I thouget I put a lot of effort into these two posts Trying to share what little insight I have on what little information we actually have available to us at the moment... But it just gets regulated to "posts a lot". Like I said, I spend most of my time digging my one hole, responding to everyone. As I told Heavy, everything you post can and will be used against you in a Mafia Court. 😉 🫶

How do you best propose we catch a wolf on D1?

If you've been playing Poker or Black Jack with someone for 30 years, you're going to have a better understanding of their tells. Right? If a Someone new walks up to the table, and whether it's their first time playing poker/black jack, or the first time you've played with them. They're a wild card. You don't know their tells. You don't know them from Steve. In Mafia terms, you don't know if they're acting like town by hunting for information. Nor do you know if they're wolf trying to hard at being town trying to get information. You don't know if a logical inconsistency they brought up is them being a manipulative wolf, or if that's just their personality. So no one is intentionally treating anyone new as a second class player. It's merely stating a fact that someone new is someone to be wary of. They are a wild card. In terms of wild cards, I think the players with the least number of games played on DM is Teph, Heavy, and I, right? Is GK new as well? I can't recall. My brains starting to sizzle.

*Points to my current 3 vote count*

If it's any consolation, on desktop, it's easier to copy-paste your entire post before you move to another page just in case everything gets lost. If you're on mobile, sometimes it's safer not to to on a multi-page tear... But if you do, don't have multiple tabs open on DM. Because what happens is, if you click in the text editor box at all, DM can be a real pain in the ass and decide to just disappear your post. Also, make sure you click the text editor box before you go and click and add a new quote on a new page, or you will lose everything. (This is true on mobile or desktop!) Ask me how I know??

We all have that, including the people in that metaphor. I didn't mean any insult by it. @Tephulis, if you felt insulted by that, I apologize, that wasn't my intention. I'm literally looking at it as new players to the game, or new players to DM are something to be wary of, because we don't know them. You cannot predict their actions, you don't know how to read them. You don't know if that person is acting like a wolf, because they're a wolf, or if that's just their personality.

It wasn't a mafia game, I'm talking about the Video game Bio shock. lol The antagonist used the phrase "Would you kindly" throughout the game, and every time he did that, you would unknowingly do something he programmed you into doing them. So you making that statement, instantly recalled that as a manipulative phrase and makes me sus. The fact that you thought it was a mafia game, makes me less sus of you now, because you've somehow never heard of bioshock.

*Confused* Someone who is new to a game, may well make mistakes. In their blunders, a townie might come off as a wolf, or anti-town, and If they had a power role as town, they may well blunder it by getting lynched which further hurts town. I thought it was a good metaphor.

The way I understand it, the most dangerous person with a sword, is the newbie attempting to fight with a sword for the first time. A Pro can easily defeat them, but a newbie can just as easily injure themselves and the pro (or worse), if the Pro doesn't pay attention.

Now that phrase I find sus, if only because of the game Bioshock. Me Right now.

That is definitely an interesting role. I guess my assumption about Thunderdome and Russel Crowe's skirt wasn't far off. 😛
