Hmm, maybe, though I do try to avoid drugging my wife usually.

OK, thats very reasonable, commendable and certainly ethical, but...

Why not? Its not like we're at end of day

Votes are used during the day phase to pressure players and get info via discussion.

How do you feel self voting accomplishes this goal? To what purpose was your self vote? I see you've found a wagon other than your own...can you tell me why that wagon out of others?

@Golden
Yeah, just me being exaggerative.

Talk to me about this meta...they just don't have enough towny fire?

You had specific reasons for TR Kate, so I imagine you have some for SR SVS, no?

This is really obfuscating the point I was frustrated about but honestly the desperation with which it seems people need to process my behaviour as oriented towards protecting my ego vs. a desire to help town win a game and see through mistruths in the pursuit of said wincon has me arriving at a point with which I recognise that the game being won is not worth the tribulation that such things cause.

That is all to say Rondo is lock town y'all. Floundering and capitulating to a well made case is a fabulous reason to townread someone and Alison is a genius for realising that. I am voting on the wrong pusy.

Does anyone have a sarcasm meter?

Mine's broken

To be honest, I basically didn’t read much of any of it because it did present that way (my brain was like, oh, this is definitely what people do with MY posts lol).

Tonally it felt t/t
I have an intense desire to destroy you for this. My blood is boiling.
I can tell. And you’ve lost sight of the town core.

We have far too little info to say who's actually town in the town core I'd say at this stage...but who's your town core anyhow?

We must suppress our hunger for chaos and replace it with a warm embrace. It is time to set aside our differences, to be tolerant and approach one another with care and concern for we are all united as one by this wonderful game and should celebrate our unity by playing firm, but fair, and important mindful of causing pain to your fellow mafia player.

See, this is a wolfy pop-in, and the kind of thing I'd expect from 112 trying to enter the game w/ limited time IRL.

Excellent VK candidate IMO

For me, I'd reach a consensus on who Sean should shoot and policy elim him if he refused, given he's been asking the town all day who he should shoot.
My gosh. I really don't like the weasel like manner that you and Alison are trying to undermine my wagons.

Do you feel it's nefarious in nature? Are they both aligned w/ Rondo? (w/w/w)

Alison wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 2:20 pm Why does mafia Rondo get into a slapfight with Mac and put himself at risk instead of just chilling and letting us vote out SVS or Seanzie or whoever?

no it was just a bad joke to call attention to the fact that rondo is self-voting for some reason.

Yes, I agree. I’ve found it odd that creature gets shielded.

I had my doubts on that read overnight then decided I was being dumb and stuck to my guns. Tada magic. Its interesting that after you push me I defended and interest dies down you jump into my iso and try to get something quite normal and blow it up to reignite my wagon.

Hmmmmmm...

Going thru Alison's ISO, I saw that she gave a lot of weight to Sabi's spew, w/o considering any anti-spew. Then she has this epiphany...it's a reasonable take, but then I have to ask myself "How often does Alison back off a tunnel so easily & readily?"

This is a disproportionate level of salt when you have 0 votes on you and the game is 4 hours in.

Calling "realzies??" a disproportionate level of salt is making mountains of molehills.

I don't think realzies is ever actually salt, I mean it's spelt with the letter z. This take of Alison's seems overtly manufactured

112's ISO is more likely town than scum

My hockey team won last night 5-2, is on a 4 winning streak, and we're in 2nd place.

Why is Mac wolfing

I haven't caught up yet so brief summary or quote of the more damning posts would be appreciated
he's doing that thing where the moment there's pressure from more than one person on him that he unloads a large amount of aggression, appeals to emotion, and starts talking about how he's just trying to be a good villager and everyone else is making that too hard for him, and they just need to give him space, and if they don't, they're bad at the game, etc etc etc

I've seen him do this as town tho...in fact, it happened in the last game we played together IIRC.

Is this the summation of the case against Mac? If so, it's pretty weak.
