you know what

(they're gonna have some kind of death mechanism and I'm gonna have to eat shorty's shoe or something)

Confusion
 
Confusion
I had a habit of villaging too close too the sun too quickly and being N1's for a while so I'd tell people to stop it.
But they can't N1 me?
I think?

....I still don't know that I understand how this game works lol
 
I'll remove April from my name pool for now. The regulars believe in her more than I do. This burned me with SAR in the practice game, so be right this time k.
 
That is a high opinion on Indy for someone you put at the bottom of your greens and you said the difference between her and rae is vibes
Indy would be higher if we had played before. Indy feels like a classic village noob.

Unless you subscribe to the theory that Dubz and Indy are packmates and Dubz providing the Noob intro posts was just “wolf theater”.

Which I don’t want to go down that road

To be fair it was the the DOUBLE BUS on mayo that really got me in the end

Cool. So your green is like green green
 
Cause it’s bad tinfoil. Keep in the trash.
Just going to save this in case I’m wrong about my own tinfoil being wrong, and it turns out to be true but it also proves you wrong, and then I can rub your nose in it 😝
 
@JaggedJimmyJay

You go over today.
What does village do to succeed?
Deal with Clem/Zenge. I struggle to believe they'd both so confidently attack each other if at least one of them isn't fake. This doesn't necessarily mean "immediately vote one of them out", but it does mean put them to work and dedicate resources to figuring it out.

Avoid the usual thread collapses into nonsense or thread becomes a dead zone that has sometimes followed my wrongful eliminations (though I can only count the instances of that happening at about four in 14 years of playing Mafia).

Work together and operate with communal process. Don't solve on solo islands. I don't think this game is a win if that happens, assuming it's balanced for the mafia to compensate for their loss of Nights.
 
@Clem J which Zenge post made your eyeballs go laser beam? No explanation needed if you don't feel like it.

JJJ

Vibes and feels. But I’m not necessarily going to vote for JJJ here. I don’t want to be too hasty.
why for orange and red reads? why are genny, WZ, and PSV so high up?
 
Something I've been chewing on and with everyone village reading her I'm calling this back
I didn't like it
It was pointy

It wasn't a "why would you vote for someone who isn't here"
or "wat you doin?!"
Zenge hadn't said jack **** at this point
It felt like engagement for engagement sake

No, it was a legitimate question since this game is a yeet when majority is reached, it seems a bit haphazard to make random votes without good reason.



Though, I did forget at the time I posted that, that the yeet majority thing starts on Day 2.
 
@Zenge142 why is JJJ a poop head?
Your village read of me felt too pockety.

Who in their right mind village reads me.

Which I realize is the opposite logic for part of what I don’t like about Clem. But it makes sense in context.

You’re village reading me too much.
He’s not village reading me enough.

Honestly I struggled a lot with a cool color transition.

It’s mostly a loosely ordered vibes and feels list. Not the Gospel of Zenges

Someday everyone will learn that I will town read anything without hesitation if I feel like it. 🏋️‍
 
"You're too pockety" is whatever.

Having me in the deepest, darkest blood red for that is a bit silly. I will ponder. Because I do that. I ponder.

Anyways, with the awareness of how massively hypocritical this is

The mechanics are a distraction and focusing too hard on them is likely to lead to a game state of "group that will follow the consensus poe in their noms" and "group that will not" with kills prejudiced in the former group over the latter, which leads to a disincentive to work together cohesively

Frankly I think we* should be mostly ignoring the weird mechanic and solving the game normally


*for a value of we that is people not named Clem
If I have to reconsider Clem and find a gripe; I think this is probably wrong.

I don't think kills would be prejudiced toward the "POE-friendly" group. They'd be prejudiced to people that are viewed as wolfy by the most voters. So that's a bad reason to discourage being considerate of mechanics in a bizarre mechanical scenario. Of course we should be considerate.
 
You made the rainbow list with my name at the bottom in a standalone color. I'm going to consider that meaningful.
Because you were serenading me with the sweet songs of Supernovas!

I know a pocket when I see one, sir! 😤
 
I do agree with this take
What I felt was pocketing was the one thing I’ve seen that’s made me feel the worst. Hence the position.

I just also know I’m extra sensitive to feeling things are pockety and wrongly accuse people. Hence my saying I probably wouldn’t vote there.

Even as I typed that song, I knew it was very possible that the supernova would leave me in a worse position, not a better one. I know how to pocket. That's not it. That's rookie pocketing. I don't keep the wi-fi and washer-dryer in my pocket paid for with rookie work. I am a professional.

I appreciate the supernova nonetheless. You can't stop me. Neener neener.
 
I would love to hear everyone's immediate takes on Zenge and Clem.
 
rely noob vibes …..

But, alas:

Can you talk me through your thoughts about why you’ve put people where they are?

Particularly Fruit, Rae, Stag, and JJJ?
