[GAME THREAD 6/13] Risky Light Game: Featuring Rain - Day 4 - Mafia wonnered

hello everyone, pleasure to be here (though i was not consulted in joining this, but i digress).

treat me as if we were a hydra if you must. i’ll do a more thorough read with some comprehensive notes after this- but i would like to point out something i noticed upon getting here.

@Magnus

I cannot give this game the justice it deserves atm, and due to the post limit I would prefer to save my words for when it’s most valuable. I’ll share my thoughts sooner or later, hopefully before EoD.
In the meantime, I’ll jump on this vote. /Vote Leafia. (@Commando)

this comes across as a panicked, low-efforting wolf. it’s performative and pandering. i do not understand why a town member would enter the game and throw a vote on the leading wagon like this without any regard as to how it formed, or any effort to understand it. Magnus is doing something simply to do something, to follow the crowd and attempt to blend in. i do not like it and believe this kind of behavior is far likelier to come from a wolf.

High poster so maybe could be seizing thread plus the posts are mostly fluff and defensive
Going to sleep now so I’ll probably get back to you in 8h

I don’t really mind players using big text (although it technically isn’t allowed by default as per Rule 6 of the Forum Game Rules; it’s a host discretion thing and given the host account sticks out enough it’s not a big deal imo, would prefer it not be overused), however –

@Arete

Do not edit posts in an attempt to gain an advantage. Editing minor spelling/formatting errors on your posts is allowed. Do not delete posts.

Editing your post to circumvent the post cap is not allowed. Doing so to fix formatting/a typo is fine.

Please do not respond to this message, and any further questions regarding this should go into your class card.

@ElizaThePsycho

[Frog]

rest in RIP @thepigeonnyc

Also @Magnus is liking my posts

Wedding and a funeral?

[Frog]

… I was joking but has this forum heard of the term frozen?

[Frog]

meh NAI

[clonedcheese]

@Frog

I enjoy singing :)

W a h o o

Have a townread

@Frog

THESE ARE THE PLAYERS WHO SHOWED UP AT START OF DAY

NAI solving, toeing the line between towny thought process and scummy overenthusiasm

We may have a new inductee to the “do not read” list

@Frog

If you’re not a wolf, find at least ONE wolf in the group and convince me:

Leaning more towarda “town that i dont like the playstyle of”

Too aggresive but ive learned that these players are aggresively solvey as town

@Professor

Why is it not a good look? Do you think she is strategically wasting her posts on fluff so that she can’t be readable? How likely is this given her previous intention of labelling her posts with their numbers?

The amount of people jumping on Leafia for something that is likely NAI for her is pretty concerning.

I like this one
Forcing people to explain their positions and not throw shade is a plis from me

Brad on thier end explained why they thought it was sketchy here:

@BradLand

Some people as mafia in the beginning of the game question or react to things that are usually jokes, messing around, or things that aren’t apart of the game in order to try to give off that they are comfortable in the thread. The numbering of the posts could just be a thing that looks pro-town in a vacuum to cover up anything else that they’re doing.

Like this explanation and seems to have a very direct line of thinking so far. Still null as i think they can fake it, but a good look.

@Leafia

On second glance this post looks like Trochi is relaxed and comfortable but at the same time it has a slightly too friendly tone like he’s trying to make himself liked and it’s something I find slightly on the scummy side although I might be reading too much into it.

W o w this is hedgy as fuck

Feels like Leafia’s trying to desperately squeeze something out of that post

@Professor

I’m concerned because I think Brad and Frog are unlikely to both be wolves due to the timing and reasoning of their Leafia pushes coinciding yet completely ignoring the other’s push. This means that there is at least one villager pushing on Leafia for something that is NAI for her.

@Professor

This argument is essentially saying Leafia is a wolf that is trying to do something to look towny. The reasoning is backwards. How would she act differently as a comfortable villager compared to a wolf pretending to be comfortable? How do you know the numbering of posts isn’t simply pro-town without there being an ulterior motive? Your choice of word “could” in particular looks like you are trying to frame Leafia’s behaviour as wolfy without really believing it.

Two very good points from this brit here
Welcome to my “do not read list”

@Professor

As of her latest string of posts, I officially am. I have no way of proving that I have the authority to be sheeped on this player, all you can take is my word for it, though I am pretty confident they are town.

No vibereads
Come back with evidence please

@Professor

She hasn’t, really. I am just good at reading this player. I am also experienced with her enough to know that defending her holds little merit to me in comparison to allowing her to get buried.

Do not read list but will comment anyway
Most people having a hard defend this

[clonedcheese]

FUCK i was not done

Most people having a hard defend this early is usually scumm in my experience; they go really hard defending and use the excuse fo “why would scum make TMI that obvious”

Which

Cringe

Cool thats what i wanted to write

Will be back w the rest

[Aelin]

Dear Frog

Yes. Actually, the person we usually describe as frozen is in this game! I’m not going to say who it is, though
Regardless, I’d say it’s far too early to be calling anyone frozen, considering that outside of the top four posters (one of which is the host), there are 40 posts. This is an interesting outlier because there’s a pretty low postcap (for this forum, at least. some of our games have gotten into the ten-thousands in just a few days) so that’s obviously going to affect that. 'Cause of the postcap, I’m going to do my best to not judge based off of inactivity, and can entirely see pigeon just trying to peek their head in and confirm that they’re here before going to sleep.

Sincerely,
Aelin

@Magnus

In the meantime, I’ll jump on this vote. /Vote Leafia

@thepigeonnyc

WhOA whoA

These two are

Cringe

@Frog

… I was joking but has this forum heard of the term frozen?

Yes and i am a strong opponent of that term and its usage

Its usually a bullshit way to throw shade at an inacrive player

That being said two separate people voting Leafia to L-2 and dipping is defonitely not a good look; if you cant do stuff justice, then wait until you can

---

Would vote one of magus/pigeon if not for the fact i am also going to sleep and i would prefer not to start a wagon before disappearing for 11 hours

[clonedcheese]

Am here for a couple more mins

finally, some sanity here. i’m still reading through the thread however i believe we’re along the same line of thinking here- may i ask if you agree with my earlier point about Magnus?

as for your second point. i will save you the trouble.
@Host_Account_2 /vote Magnus

[clonedcheese]

I disagree with the reasoning, especially this one:

@Trochilidae

this comes across as a panicked, low-efforting wolf. it’s performative and pandering.

Im not sure that I see it as someome going “shit i have to do something”, rather “oh this is an easy target”

I think the vote comes from a lazy scum more than a panicked scum, but scum nonetheless.

I also just saw this post:

@thepigeonnyc

I didn’t read this post and now I’m going to be scumread and of course, killed D1

If im not mistaken this kind of “oh im gonna die” sarcasm (is that the word?) from pigeon is scum AI
