But you're not even proving you're smarter than uncertainty. That's how you play the game normally.

If you commit to "everybody wins" you cease to give a fuck about your wincon because you're working with the players you're meant to be playing against, you cease to give a fuck about everyone's alignment because, hey everybody is going to win so what the fuck does it matter?

My issue is thus: webadict gave us some rules to play the game (alignment, wincon, and role) we play the game as it's meant to be played. Then, partway through, some of us decide that those rules don't matter, they're going to try to hack the game and break it instead, because somehow that's more fun than doing what they literally signed up for.

I don't play mafia to prove I'm smarter than other people. I play the game because, funnily enough, I want to play the game.

Why is proving you're smarter than the mod entertaining?

That's the point.  It is fun to win by beating the other side.  It is a great accomplishment to win by beating the game itself.

Yeah, 10 minds against 1. Sounds challenging as fuck.

Are we seriously going to be shooting for this everyone wins bullshit?
If it will work? yes. what's wrong?
Kinda defeats the point of a competitive game if no cunt loses.

I mean if we all just in'd and webadict said "well done you win!" we wouldn't have wasted the last two weeks fucking about talking past each other.

EBWOP

Also, Tiruin was threatening to reveal something about Lakerag's previous role in order to get Lenglon to stop pressing her over the apparently super anti-town role swap, presumably that the SK-Miller auto that Shakerag has isn't swappable/transferable etc., or reveal a particular ability that isn't/shouldn't (not quite sure on this) be part of a town moveset.

PFP gotta get ready for work too.

TL;DR

Tiruin swapped roles with Lenglon-Shakerag, Lenglon is furious, feels (felt?) Tiruin did something super anti-town by doing so.

Essentially Tiruin has made herself a target, Lengrag can protect themselves, allegedly.

Also, according to OP, only Mafia get a faction/built-in kill.

Probably a partial... reads thing I guess, starting with the person with the fewest posts according to Lurker Tracker:

TDS - probably town. Most of his posts are from D1, wherein he gives his opinion on a few different players with accompanying evidence to back those up. Hasn't voted a great deal, but the votes have made sense as far as I can tell.

4mask - Was my top scum pick, but this seems a little shaky in light of TDS' apparent scum read of Tiruin, who is also voting 4mask, as well as how he tried to vote FoU yesterday, who flipped scum. I am aware that 4mask likes to gamble in mafia, and Fallacy was being mostly useless D2 so had little chance of avoiding being lynched, so I can't rule out an opportunistic bus... not sure.

Most unhappy about the TDS redirect though. Tiruin is a difficult read, and if 4mask is scum he'll know he's unlikely to die during the night if they could account for every death/revive that has happened so far. Redirecting TDS, knowing he's probably town and thus likely to share what they find, will allow him and his buddies to figure out if Tiruin is a threat to them.

Spent a great deal of time posting during RVS but not really generating much content. Left an ostensible pressure vote on Lenglon for a great deal of time without much actual pressure beyond the post it came in. Pretty much skipped D2, and tried to land on the FoU bandwagon.

Overall, feels like scum. Won't vote just yet since I need to go through everyone else, but is a likely candidate at this point.



errrr... so tired. Seemed like a good idea to read through Tir's stuff at this point given TDS' read on her influencing my read of 4mask, but I'm falling asleep at the screen :'( I read through 20 of Tir's 53 posts, I'm getting town feels from them, but it's less than half of her stuff. More later.

I am thinking he's a haematologist (presumably just so people can have difficulty in spelling what he does) so I will claim something about bone marrow and blood. I don't know what, but I'll do it.

Having some (presumably) minor health issues preventing me from having energy and motivation for this right now, will hopefully get a substantial post in tomorrow or Saturday.

In the mean time, I'd like 4mask to walk is through their thought processes on redirecting an investigative ability, specifically their thoughts on how it would help the town, if they considered any drawbacks of doing this, and how all this influenced the final decision to do it.

I think NJW is from Engerland, or at least somewhere in the U.K.

He just can't spell is all, no worries.

It can cause hysteria and death, among other things.
