@SquidSisters

eliza has had no part in this. i just want to murder people. just to see what happens

She said she was okay with it though, yeah?

@SquidSisters

im willing to vote anyone if it means they die immediately
im not sure if eliza approves of this however. i will not wait until shes asleep to try and hammer.

@SquidSisters

i approve of hammering anyone ASAP

[AerieRaffles]

~Raffles

[SquidSisters]

so she did. forgot about that

[SquidSisters]

i need a pfp on this account who isnt a pokemon yellow sprite. i however refuse to look up callie and marie again so time to find something stupid

[AerieRaffles]

Which one of you is Callie and which one is Marie

Anyway I’m not going to get distracted I’m not I’m going to focus so much on the game and aaaaall of the players in it and I won’t be distracted. At all. By anything or anyone. I’m so good at mafia

If my whole strategy is to work here, which I believe I promised Suit Guy it was, so I’ve got the burden of proof to carry here, it should mean we get basic reads on everyone else in the game. Let’s test that theory!

@AerieRaffles

@terranceleehew

also the SOD is way slower than I was anticipating

@Monochromatic

VOTE: terranceleehew

First scum locked onto pew pew

Absolutely not
VOTE: Monochromatic

Thiiis is interesting, and I think it’s not W/W with Terrance, from what I’ve seen. That’d be quite a lot.

@AerieRaffles

@BostonFlours

First of all, he opened with a post containing no fewer than fifteen grammatical errors. I’m not one to be picky, but it feels like an overly-heavyhanded projection of confidence, something that’s very… unnatural, to me. This post (or at least, its unedited original) reads like me going “okay, you’re scum, don’t freak out, just sound as casual as possible”

Okay, but I also hate this
You’re acting as if you have meta on Achro but he makes typos every game
Like, it’s actually the first thing I noticed about Achro other than him being a One Piece fan – his constant typos
you are just wrong about this.

~Raffles

@AerieRaffles

@AerieRaffles

Guava overeacting? i’m shocked
~Aerie

Do you not think that’s scummy?

@Monochromatic

It is really that you took the time to note sod is slow but not respond to my question which is meant to get the ball rolling.

With this reasoning?
When people already pointed out that this looks like rolefishing, giving a reasonable reason to not respond?
Like, yeah, I overreact, but I don’t think I’m doing that right now. That certainly doesn’t look good, it looks like Achro using his reputation of having consistently good reads as town to autopush a random townie for posting something that’s, in my opinion, obviously NAI (like, seriously, he just said “man people aren’t posting a lot huh”)
but if you think I’m overreacting you can move our vote
~Raffles

The conversation between hydra partners here feels a little unnatural to my eye - it’s this weird, casual shade that I’m not sure people would… want to resolve in public? I can see this being a weird sort of wolf theatre with Achro. I don’t know how much it holds up if Achro is town… ehh, thinking about it, I think it’s still wolfy there, it’s two people pointedly choosing to play up their dissonance about a pivotal slot that they know they probably won’t survive directly scumreading.

@AerieRaffles

Okay, but how does she(?) play as town? And how does that contrast with this game?
Because she’s definitely different from how she played in the other hydra, but is this also different from her town gameplay? Because if it’s similar to her town gameplay then… Occam’s Razor, yeah?
~Raffles

I’m supposed to like when people post about me, but this one is throwing my brain into the salad and tossing it. I get… what it’s saying, the phrasing just doesn’t track to me. My townplay is an enigma and my ego is massive.

@AerieRaffles

actually i kinda agree, aknowledging it without wanting to defend themselves
~aries

Inch resting agreement here. It involves three slots, and I feel like there should be some partnership reads in here, but I’m too sleepy for it. I “kinda” agree? Hm.

@AerieRaffles

@terranceleehew

I don’t think mono is scum for what it’s worth

-derp

Why not?
~Raffles

Tunnelly. Weird to my eye.

@AerieRaffles

this is literally so different from any Achro gameplay I’ve encountered but I don’t want to hammer because I want everyone to at least have a chance to speak before we end day and we’re less than 1.5 hours in (the predicted amount of migraines from Neon/Marluxion)
~Raffles

This interaction fascinates me as well, because it’s a sort of misinterpretation of the tone of a joke? It’s the kind of thing that involves a few layers of misunderstanding that should have flesh to them, but I just woke up… ugh. I think the misinterpretation could happen whether this slot is town or wolf. NAI for now until I know the alignment of one of the involved slots.

@AerieRaffles

@terranceleehew

Did you just unironiclly go out of your way to say you didn’t want to hammer like an hour into the first day

LOL
-derp

Do you disagree with not hammering right now?
~Raffles

Not W/W.

@AerieRaffles

@terranceleehew

No it’s the way you said it like you want to hammer but only won’t because like others haven’t played lol

-derp

And what about it
If everyone else comes into the thread and I’m like “that’s all townreading to me” and Monochromatic is scumreading to me then I have no qualms with voting them out early aside from “I talk less and I don’t like having to shut up”
Though, Aerie may feel differently
~Raffles

Towny.

@AerieRaffles

@SquidSisters

or at least a mentality that’s more focused on looking town

If I wanted to look town why would I say that
Like it’s my genuine mindset but I can also acknowledge that hammering is objectively scummy 99% of the time
it doesn’t mean I’m going to avoid it 100% of the time always because sometimes it’s useful (or funny)
~Raffles

Towny.

@AerieRaffles

Raffles isn’t mafia they’re just self centered

HEY

@AerieRaffles

i’m right
~Aerie

Wolfy.

@AerieRaffles

@terranceleehew

That felt

Weird

me when I send my discord dms with Kanave to show you the meta of our conversations with each other
~Raffles

Unaligned.

@AerieRaffles

@SquidSisters

im willing to vote anyone if it means they die immediately
im not sure if eliza approves of this however. i will not wait until shes asleep to try and hammer.

I thought this was Eliza posting
~Raffles

@AerieRaffles

eliza wouldn’t take that bold a stance
~Aerie

Unaligned.

@AerieRaffles

Orochimeowru’s first post is like so much nonsense
All the languages in the world And you chose to speak nonsense
Anyway I don’t like that they made this long post with basically nothing to say instead of using that time reading the other posts in the thread
~Raffles

@AerieRaffles

Well disregard that last post LMAO
~Raffles

Interesting read. Noting it down. Don’t think they’d pivot so fast and blatantly on a wolfbuddy?

@AerieRaffles

@Orochimeowru

From my understanding, at this point in the game, you are scumreading Monochromatic. How convinced were you that he was scum at this point? Like… confidence level in your read?

it’s not that I’m super confident in my read (I’m confident but it’s not lockwolf or anything), but if Monochomatic ends up being my only scumread when everyone has spoken and I’m townreading everyone else they can die and we’ll see what happens, y’know?

@Orochimeowru

For some reason, I feel a strange incongruous discrepancy between the strength of your read and your willingness to hammer Monochromatic if it weren’t for the fact that most people hadn’t posted. Only point of concern I have in your posting thus far.

That’s because there is a discrepancy, kind of
I should be more confident in my read
and I will be more confident the more people come into the thread if I think the people who come into the thread are town
The more people I see in thread and go “okay that’s town,” the more likely I’m right about Monochromatic being a wolf, right?
so the more people that come into the thread, the stronger my read is gonna get, unless someone comes in and does some wack ass suspicious shit
~Raffles

Hhhhhm. Unaligned with Monochromatic, I think.

@AerieRaffles

@Orochimeowru

Pick someone I should make a post on next:

• terrance
• leafiabutworse
• squid
• monochromatic
• a 0 poster LOL

Terranceleelaw
~Raffles

Tunnelly, still unaligned.

@AerieRaffles

@Orochimeowru

What is your read on Terrence? (After all, I am your loyal follower for today and need to sheep you.)

Outside of Monochromatic, terranceleehew is the pair I’m least confident is town
both sides of the pair asked a random question in thread and it felt… off
it’s different from the entrance post nonsense of you or SquidSisters
Derp tends to respond to questions with “idk” or “gut” which makes it hard to follow their thought process
if I have to vote between them and another person I’m townreading, my vote will probably go there just on the fact that sometimes I cannot find out where their head is at because even they don’t know
~Raffles

I’m bored I’m gonna draw a conclusion now.

I think this slot is uhhh about =rand wolf from what I’ve seen so far, which is normal enough this early in the game, and they’ve got a few interactions down which I can make decent alignment reads off of. Chasing them as a potential wolf this early on seems unproductive, and I’d like to see where their interactions with the Terrance slot end up leading.

Their interactions with Achro specifically have decent meat to them, but I think I need more information on the general state and tone of this game to understand in which direction they’re actually aligned - games with lots of bussing have a detectable vibe to them.

I’ve got to go get actual work done today, so I don’t have time to iso anyone else at the moment - I don’t want to vote this slot right now from what I’ve seen, so I’ll follow them onto Terrance to figure out exactly what’s going on over there.

VOTE: Terranceleehew

[SquidSisters]

yes

[Monochromatic]

Okay, for the first time all game I am actually using a computer.

Very based tbh

[BostonFlours]

@Neon_Genesis_Marluxion

i will say that my only thing i noticed reading mayteam is that i didn’t laugh or smile even once which is extremely not the normal for me isoing may

You need to learn to find the inherent humour of me clowning on myself by making baseless pushes in mafia OK ?

is this a compliment or an insult

[AerieRaffles]

@BostonFlours

it’s two people pointedly choosing to play up their dissonance about a pivotal slot that they know they probably won’t survive directly scumreading.

It’s two people talking to each other here because I want you to know our opinions. Both of them. Unlike you and May, me and Aerie are not one person and sometimes we disagree despite being stuck with a shared vote and role . In my opinion, it would look more suspicious if we discuss it in private

Imagine if she convinced me she was right, but we discussed it in private, and I came back into thread and said “actually Aerie changed my mind in our group chat I disagree now”

THAT’S SO FUCKING SUS RIGHT? Because we don’t see ANY progression there. What if the person who actually convinced me was a scum buddy in wolf chat?

@BostonFlours

the phrasing just doesn’t track to me.

I type the way I speak Like I even type “uhh” sometimes when my brain is still loading the sentence.
What about the phrasing “doesn’t track”?

@BostonFlours

This interaction fascinates me as well, because it’s a sort of misinterpretation of the tone of a joke? It’s the kind of thing that involves a few layers of misunderstanding that should have flesh to them, but I just woke up… ugh. I think the misinterpretation could happen whether this slot is town or wolf. NAI for now until I know the alignment of one of the involved slots

It’s not just that post, that post was just the final straw
Most of Achro’s have felt different from previous town games I’ve played with him

@BostonFlours

Wolfy

Literally sobbing and crying
Sorry for talking to my friend in thread I didn’t do it on purpose

@BostonFlours

Interesting read. Noting it down. Don’t think they’d pivot so fast and blatantly on a wolfbuddy?

Like I’ve said to others I was just trying to push Cream to post reads since it had been like an hour since they “went to go eat”

~Raffles

[Neon_Genesis_Marluxion]

@SquidSisters

who would you and marl be if you were evangelion characters

No idea id pick some other anime I’m sure

[Monochromatic]

Fate. That is the only word to describe what has transpired here today. I can’t think of anything but that singular word as my pulse pounds inside of my skull. Here they are, two soldiers of fortune in the war that is life before me. I can no more choose their end than a bird’s song chooses when the sun rises. To swerve now would be making a decision. If I felt it was my right to make tough choices I wouldn’t be behind on my productivity report, would I? No, I know who I am by now. I know what I am. I am man who allows others to decide for me. I am not the one that is going to end AerieRaffles’ existence on this earth. They did that when they crossed the road. I am but an instrument of their end. LeafiaButWorse, on my left, would be an intentional act of violence. No, I won’t carry that burden. Any loss of life is regrettable, but AerieRaffles simply was placed in my way by God and now I will send them home to their maker.

[AerieRaffles]

We should probably stop self voting now huh

UNVOTE
~Raffles

[Monochromatic]

Anyway I will say for someone who pinned their early vote on me as a way to get more information out of the game and not to actually read me this analysis comes off as incredibly underwhelming. Almost everyone who has posted has interacted with me a lot due to my opening and it feels like this post cuts shallow when I feel as if there should be more broad conclusions to be drawn rather than just ISOing one slot.

I would like a more robust reads list and for May to dig deep into and what they learned by going after me. A vote on someone already under suspicion with pretty weak reasoning isn’t going to stave off my ire for even a moment.

-A

[BostonFlours]

Yeah yeah but I’m bored. So I’ll do it later

[Monochromatic]

Now now, you already slapped the dragon May it is too late to fall back into a casual mindset now. The dragon is awake. The dragon is at its computer. The dragon is hungry.

[SquidSisters]

i dont think bread hydra should die. there is no bias here

[BostonFlours]

Poke bear and run is my favourite style of analysis because it’s extremely easy and I will employ it all I want
