bruhhhhhhh i take back what i said about blade, but alison can defs be mafia here

So Gavial's meta as both alignments involves posting crazy ideas and crazy logic. As town he genuinely believes them and gets offended when people don't agree with him, and sometimes OMGUSes them for it. As mafia he leans into the absurdity to create false spew as well as get townread through audacity.

I considered that his picture-only gimmick might be the latter but I think it's something he decided to do before the game because there's a game currently running on MU with a very similar post restriction and it sounds like something he would rip off. He hasn't tried to lean into it to get townread early so I don't have problems with his slot.

You know, if you follow Scotty's logic about last game indicating how this game will play out. Its obvious that Alison, Scotty and Dyson are mafia, game is lock

So if that’s true, I guess if I never post again and I’m tied for lynch today, I’m a cool cucumber. Right?
No, it means we shouldn't tie the votes. Tying the votes is stupid and town should avoid it unless there is absolutely no other choice.

Imma tie every vote.

Tie meta is great as long as days don’t end in ties and not too many people are strictly playing off tie meta.

still bitter from our last game where tieing ended our team real quick? lol
When I make a statement about mech it is because I think that statement is mechanically sound not because I feel emotional about it. Last game could just as easily have the rands favor the mafia, and it would be silly to judge the appropriateness of rands in this game based on the results of the last one, just like it would be silly to judge the appropriateness of going all in in Poker based on how appropriate it was last hand.

Barely worth stating but I think this feels not partnery.

I think I can follow it though. Whether it's a bad reason or not it's still a thought out theory that has some positive vibes from it. I feel like if he was scum he'd actually use that to try to scumread you. Especially right after he just outed a scumread on you hours prior.

Take 2 I guess.

Pranay - One of the best players on EM when it was still around.

Pranay Rule - Mafia players start games off with a quote. This being that mafia will want to look as comfortable as possible to start, so one way to do that is to piggyback off of someone else's conversation and look like you're instantly in stride in games.
