I’m really eager to read up on dead chat myself. They’re uninformed.
“Achro just vote Magnus. Snap vote him.”
“Achro he slipped there. Achro didn’t you see”
“Achro just do it. Do it. Don’t hesitate. He is mocking you.”
“Achro, Magnus is the only choice!”
I will leave it up to you to decide which dead person is saying that.

I’ll probably be voting Squid in around an hour, and then I’ll head to bed. Then the fate of the game’s gonna be up in the air.
In the meantime, we can converse about our prospects. I’ve expected to survive every night if I survive the evening, and you’ve been expecting to die every night thus far. Isn’t that interesting?
I always think I should die. Since I have been in this game I have been in two other games on different sites and I have died n1 both times. I suspect me not knowing anyone’s wolf range in any meaningful way has contributed to this. There have been points throughout the game where I have liked perspectives from everyone alive today, which was easier to swallow when I thought Jaiden was howling. Now that we know she was not, it means I have missed more than one thing.
The last time I lived until day 5 in a game I was defending scum against suspicion. Hmph. Town lost that game.

The only living players you’ve really been defending are myself and Leafia. It’s very easy to feel like you’re standing against the tide, when literally everyone else is pointing at me and saying “he’s scum, why can’t you see it?” You have a reason to feel confident about your Leafia read, since that wasn’t formed on a basis of your own, personal opinion but from a coalition of players.
So I must ask: why did you townread me, when basically nobody else did? Moreover, when a flipped wolf had apparently been TRing me?
There were things early that I liked from you, but specifically reading the Misty TR I remember when I was reading day 2 it didn’t have the feel of a “oh look, my fellow wolf heh heh” and more like “Hi Magnus, I am Misty and it’d be REALLY great if you just hopped into my pocket.”
Hold on let me go grab it, I am bad at formatting quotes…
About this last quote, here is what I said about it before:
"Misty is just mad lol. Although this bad vibes about the Magnus wagon make… no sense to me. Maybe I talked about it then but the Magnus wagon was:
Magnus (4): Leafia, Zorvo, Kanave, PoisonedSquid
What x)"
Follow up about how I am being a driver of Magnus through not voting Magnus. This felt really, super unaligned to go after me for “attacking” a wolf buddy the way she is accusing me of doing. It’s like, why would you ever expose yourself that badly for a wolf buddy?
Beyond Misty though, you have come off as collected and relaxed the entire game and I have not sensed much of an agenda about your play before today. Now the black marks are the fact that you felt very passive yesterday which … everyone somehow shares that in common and also I have trouble buying into your w!magnus perspective discussions of “well if I was wolf this is what I would do”
I don’t play Forum Mafia, especially Mountainous, as often as I’d like to. I’ve been described as composed before, although I can tell you I find these games especially stressful. When I was psychoanalysing Leafia D1 and talking about “Mafia being more stressful to play as”, I was projecting. The very idea of rolling wolf stresses me out, and I assumed everyone else saw the game the same way.
It’s easy to forget the reasons behind reads, and thus lose faith in those reads. Having a fixation on reads, to the extent of borderline obsession, can also lead to a loss. Balancing those risks, remembering and having dynamic reads, is villager behaviour.
I feel like it’s telling that these two players, specifically, never really changed their stance on me. Whereas Leafia was flip-flopping her mind, demonstrative of the first flaw.
I feel like I’ve expressed my thoughts as best I can. I’ll now be slinging my sole VOTE: PoisonedSquid and leaving my practical contribution at that for the day. Sorry Kanave, I know you wanted to leave Squid out of today and only deal with our wagons.
I think mafia is its most fun when you dont allow fear to taint you and drive you tbh. If you have fooled me here it will be a valuable lesson and when we play again i will know more about you. It is a game after all and my worst experiences in mafia are where i am overly concerned about being right. I am too old to let others chastise away my peace of mind. Even if you were the most obvious wolf, as long as i tried my best i can be satisfied with getting it wrong.
But think of the downside. If I was wolf and fooled you here, that would’ve meant I absolutely failed to fool a bunch of other players. I don’t think I could suffer the mark of shame.
Definitely Zorvo.
l like you Magnus, truly. Let’s play again sometime.
VOTE: PoisonedSquid
Unfortunately, I have learned to calm my heart as a wolf and appear to be very town to most people. Although the usual spectacle of me being obvious wolf surely awaits me in dead chat.
Well played, everyone.
We won Achro. ^_^
this was painful to watch
