I'm here! I have a virtual conference all afternoon so I imagine I can multitask catching up during that time.

[Hally]

this is certainly a game

[Tangrowth]

Is anyone else here? I finally have some time now.

[Tangrowth]

alison i once wrote a grant that included the line "this proposal puts the LGBTQ in 'eligibility requirements' "

cayvie locktown haha

[Tangrowth]

has anyone here ever played flipless before? any tips

So for a while on Lostpedia and then here when the site was younger, we often played with flipless *nights*, and since games were multiball, you often didn't know for sure whether a townie or mafia from the other team was killed at night, even if it seemed likely that it was the former.

That's obviously not flipless, and I'm not sure what I really learned from that other than not taking NK information for granted. I have no idea how to approach yeets. I would guess (at least for me) behavioral reads still reign supreme though, just with no firm future information gained as the game progresses.

[Hally]

im sorta here but not really

feel free to dump any thoughts you have anyway though

[Tangrowth]

Ugh conferences woat

[Tangrowth]

im sorta here but not really

feel free to dump any thoughts you have anyway though

Hi, Hally! Cool. Well that's my MO, so I guess that'll happen regardless, but I still appreciate the sentiment, hehe.

[Tangrowth]

hi MP!!!

are you hyped?

Hi Mist!! I am!

Good to be playing with you again. I guess I have very minor experience with you, cayvie, Scirrus, and a bit more with Hyena maybe?

I haven’t played with sabie in years.

Looks like that means I have the most experience with TSP. We have played maybe 5-10 games together overall or something? I’m not sure.

[Tangrowth]

ok im actually bi so sc and i don’t have to thunderdome

i will thunderdome all bi and/or nb ppl

I identify more with pansexual than bisexual so we’re fine.

[Tangrowth]

LGBT+ mafia being flipless is thematically tragic

LMAO, well, shitposting has been won.

[Tangrowth]

Yay! I’m really happy to be playing this with you all.

HI!! Good to see you again. <3

Good to see you again too! What was the last game we played together, do you remember?

[Hally]

oh ig i identify with pansexual too. idk i’ve heard ppl say bi and pan are actually the same because bi means attraction to two or more genders, not just the two binary genders. but then other ppl think pan should be it’s own thing. so ig im bi or pan depending on which definition for bi one uses

[Tangrowth]

Espeon is the best Eeveelution and that's all I probably have to contribute to all the Pokemon discussion I missed.

[Tangrowth]

That makes sense. Yeah, it really depends on an individual level I think. Conceptually it’s splitting hairs perhaps.

[Tangrowth]

But still I was trying to be funny, Hally!

[Hally]

i will thunderdome you any time mp

[Tangrowth]

Sabie is probably mafia, too, unless it's actually MP7. I'm going to call Tony town.

please elaborate

also may i ask, did you do this because you weren't expecting anyone else to progress the game this way?

I liked Tony's IC claim/fakeclaim. And nah, I think someone would've did something to progress the game eventually. I just figured I'd create some banter in between Pokemon posts. The Hally read is half-serious though.

Why did you like it?

[Tangrowth]

i will thunderdome you any time mp

But we have to both make it to F3!

[Hally]

oh that might be hard. i have a date with the n1 kill

[Tangrowth]

also the sarcophagus one. i just.... don’t get it

Ahhhh nooo, I love that one!

[Tangrowth]

oh that might be hard. i have a date with the n1 kill

I need to play with you longer than that.

[Hally]

awww im pocketed

[TonyStarkPrime]

This isn't even long how am I going to not read it

[Tangrowth]

Spoiler: show

if we're talking pokemon i found a cool image that i will

somehow force to be relevant to the game



tag yourself, and give a bit of explanation into how that carries over into mafia!

i'll start, i'm grass, i'm consistently hard on myself over how i play but i don't get frustrated with others easily

Let's see... okay, this is way too fun. If I had to rate how much these resonate with me on a 7-point scale (not at all, very slight, slight, moderate, strong, very strong, absolutely)

Fire - very strong - with the life of the party type being the only one where I'm sort of like ehhh but that's actually true when I'm in the right element for sure
Normal - slight
Fighting - very slight
Water - not at all
Flying - not at all
Grass - moderate - resonant with combination of cries a lot, easily amused, comforting depending on the context
Poison - very strong - CHAOTIC GOOD, honestly sneaky is the only one I don't relate to too much although I try to be in some games I guess
Electric - slight
Ground - slight
Psychic - not at all
Rock - strong - "into some weird music" lol, other ones definitely resonant except the tough time showing how they care part, I tend to not have an issue with that especially when it comes to people I'm close to
Bug - not at all
Ice - not at all
Ghost - very slight
Dragon - strong - I am definitely a quadruple texter when I actually text, I do ramble, I can like to take charge a lot actually but only in specific situations, and do people find me intimidating? maybe? but I am totally a big dork
Dark - very slight
Fairy - slight
Steel - moderate - obscure hobbies, I guess other people look at me and think I'm well-rounded and/or admire me, and I do have Strong Emotions and for a lot of my life I repressed them and did not express them to people but trying not to do that anymore

I guess as for how that combination as explained above plays into mafia: I can and will change my mind on a dime, I will passionately argue for or against someone if I really believe it, even though I try to stay level-headed I will get emotional, I will try to cheerlead others, I will ramble (lol) and, I will probably spend way more words than I need to in order to get into someone's head but it's really important to me that I do.

[Tangrowth]

awww im pocketed

My pocket is comfy.

[Tangrowth]

i don’t think cayvie’s me/hyena vengeful bussing theory is a real thought

[VOTE: cayvie] aubergine

Hey Hally, can you talk to me more about this? I'm not sure I really understand it.

[TonyStarkPrime]

hally and scirrus cross voting should mean something but I just wanna do what mp did with the pokemon chart

[TonyStarkPrime]

ok but cayvie how do you read us?

i wasn't joking about the wolf duo thing. i wouldn't say it's a read but i see you two as v compatible rn.

why would wolves bus in flipless, especially with an IC in the setup?

you don't get any cred off the flip so there's no real point

you do get cred off one flip, though.

no you don't

there is no flip

i mean if the flip kills someone

[Hyena]

as opposed to mist who has sort of eased into solving more naturally and didn’t seem like self conscious about getting into it quickly. like mist seems less concerned with trying to look solvey than hyena, which i feel like is actually townier in a vacuum

I don't think you understand my intent if you think I'm trying to solve or look solvey. ;-;

ok, then what are you trying to do?

So, like, the way I get reads on people is by bantering with them and putting them in weird/bad/chaotic positions to see how they react. Since you were pretty active yesterday, I wanted to make a semi-credible looking accusation towards you to see how you and everybody else reacted to it. :3 That's why Mist was asking me if I was accusing you of being scum and calling out shallow reads on other people because I was worried about the game not progressing.

[Hyena]

hyena do you actually scumread hally

And now that I've revealed what I was doing, no I don't actually scumread Hally, but it would've been cool if people had joined the wagon I started on them. n.n

[TonyStarkPrime]

Pokemon chart personality types:

Fire: Hmm
Normal: no
Fighting: no
Water: hmm
Flying: no
Grass: no
Poison: yes
Electric: yeah probably tbh
Ground: no
Psychic: no
Rock: yeah probably tbh
Bug: what the heck
Ice: no
Ghost: no
Dragon: yeah probably tbh
Dark: if being good at Rock Paper Scissors is a personality trait now
Fairy: no
Steel: great at everything, check

How does this carry into mafia? I dunno.

[Tangrowth]

hally and scirrus cross voting should mean something but I just wanna do what mp did with the pokemon chart

Yay, trend setting!

[TonyStarkPrime]

honestly I think some of the types are just more applicable

[Hyena]

like i dont think either of them actually expects the wagon for the other to get off the ground, or their reason for voting to be taken particularly seriously.

So, like, this thought and, in general, all the ones about me and Hally being scum together are, I think, genuine, even if I don't know if it's alignment indicative or not. :3 For a brief moment after I started accusing Hally the way I did, I was a little worried that it might be taken as two scum bussing since there are people I'd do that with if I were scum with them (Evenstar from last years MU Champs, for example).

[TonyStarkPrime]

maybe there's perception stuff too. I can think of people for some of the types that I bet wouldn't describe themselves in that way

[Hally]

i don’t think cayvie’s me/hyena vengeful bussing theory is a real thought

[VOTE: cayvie] aubergine

Hey Hally, can you talk to me more about this? I'm not sure I really understand it.

idk it just felt so random. like why would mafia cross-bus or distance right from the start just so they can use the vengeful kill. i don’t get what about hyenas interaction with me would come across that way

[Hally]

hally and scirrus cross voting should mean something but I just wanna do what mp did with the pokemon chart

what should it mean?

[Hyena]

Yay! I’m really happy to be playing this with you all.

HI!! Good to see you again. <3

Good to see you again too! What was the last game we played together, do you remember?

It was the one here where you got yeeted as town on D2, replaced back in for an inactive player on D3, then got yeeted again on D3 as scum. I think Nanook was one of your partners.

Okay, so Fire and Poison being my strongest means I really am Salazzle. Who wants some of this? Hehe.

[Tangrowth]

ig to illustrate what i mean re: hyena, i feel like when he votede and started giving reads it was very out of nowhere, like “look i’m starting to solve!” and maybe forcing the issue a bit

as opposed to mist who has sort of eased into solving more naturally and didn’t seem like self conscious about getting into it quickly. like mist seems less concerned with trying to look solvey than hyena, which i feel like is actually townier in a vacuum

I actually had a similar thought with these; if I had to pick I'd say Hyena looked a bit stilted and Mist seemed solvy.

ah ok. hm. that does fit with my perception that you were forcing the issue too much

so what are your actual reads then?

[Tangrowth]

honestly I think some of the types are just more applicable

That's almost certainly true, but it was still fun.

[Tangrowth]

The poll deadline seems to be wrong and I'm not sure why. Probably I messed up creating it somehow. At any rate, the deadline is always 8PM EST.

Hey Alison, not sure if anyone else helped you with this yet, but you have to delete a poll and submit that when you edit your post when you're hosting, and then create a new one for the time to update.

oh neat. so what do you think of hyena now saying his push on me was for reactions?
