Pathologic Invitational - TOWN VICTORY!!

[Jar]

Okay this is my first post that is significant. I don’t feel like anyone would agree with me but I suspect the following people:

@Vulgard

lemonfairy is such an obvious villager actually holy shit
never kill her this game

Vulgard - as for me I can never be so sure of anyone being a wolf in the first round but here he has almost declared lemonfairy is town. Whenever I am mafia I sometimes just call someone who is chatting(posting in this case) innocent out of the blue. I believe I gain trust by performing such action.

@ElizaThePsycho

this guy is ALSO wolf
VOTE: Jar

Eliza - same explanation as above but she did it only once with me

Arctic - I am not very sure but maybe some wolfs post a lot to not look suspicious?

(The ones here who aren’t in this list I don’t suspect yet but idk)

[Arctic]

why does this look like someone gave you a list of people to wolfread and then you made up the justifications afterwards

i recognize you haven’t playes forum mafia before but with regards to the reason to suspect me it… doesn’t even sound like you believe it yourself

[Whysper]

@Host_Account_1

Whysper was poisoned and will die at the end of the day!

What in the world?!? I never expected that.

[Whysper]

@beancat

huh

that’s a curious choice

Yeah, I was definitely expecting someone else. The only people less likely than me would be the new people and maybe like you and Eliza.

[Whysper]

@Arctic

i started scumreading whysper again overnight so uh thanks wolves i guess?

i don’t… actually think it’s that bizarre of a choice for a town whysper

considering the same reasons i started scumreading her for - a lack of a vote, and a lack of… actually finding wolves. it actually makes quite a lot of sense because she isn’t even pushing anyone so poisoning her doesn’t really influence anything, except for reads on her of course, but that wouldn’t have mattered since they were mostly townread (wolves probably malding after seeing i actually started scumreading her)

Yeah, I was expecting to maybe get scumread for the lack of vote thing and other stuff. Sorry, I was expecting to come back EoD but got tied up with family issues last night.

Just for the record, I would have been okay with the Aelin wagon at the time. I was going to be okay with Aelin, Eliza, or beancat basically.

[Whysper]

I want to bring up one thing that gave me some weird vibes yesterday. Arctic and Aelin were discussing the votes on Arctic. He was saying how he wouldn’t mind if he got executed exactly because it might give more info, though he expressed concern for the thread becoming a ghost town with him gone.

I found it strange that with his forward-thinking, he didn’t even mention the likelihood that he would be poisoned by mafia and how he might still be gone soon anyway. It almost feels like he knows that isn’t an option. Maybe I’m reading too much into that, but it gives me a growing suspicion.

I could also see how a wolf team that included Arctic wouldn’t want to go after other vocal players right away, like Vulgard or May, since it would look really suspicious for Arctic to still be around. By going after middle/low tier players like me, it makes it look like the wolf team isn’t afraid to leave vocal players or is varying things to give little info or whatever.

@Arctic

@Aelin

but @Arctic what are you planning, then, for today? Are you trying to execute a wolf? A willaging town? A non-contributor? Because no-vote is not an option.

i… don’t actually know
i’m kind of looking at the people voting me and going
if i don’t have a good grasp on the game at eod i don’t mind dying because i’ve been talked about quite a lot so it might be useful, i am slightly worried that without me however the game would become a ghost town.

(also partly because i doubt bean and eliza are both wolves and my flip would prove a point that you can never be accurate from omgus and gutreads (quite literally respectively their reasons for voting me) and it might… make them actually think a little more deeply about the game)

@Arctic

ultimately it kind of comes down to what my reads are at eod, because i feel like a lot can change up to then. but if i’m not confident on my reads and don’t have a main suspect, i don’t really mind dying, for the sake that it gives probably more information than any other flip would, and then i also won’t have to think about the game

sorry this probably sounds dumb but i’m trying to badly articulate why (for the first time as town) i don’t actually feel bad about dying…
(until i get to dvc and see the two people i thought were wolves were actually wolves)
(except that won’t happen obviously)
(…right?)

@Aelin

if youre town we should want to keep you alive as long as possibe because you interact with a longt of people

yeah that is a thing i guess, and there’s also the problem that i’m… not sure i trust the game to be active enough without me. idk man

[Vulgard]

@Arctic

wait so you think bean is a villager??

Yes.

[Whysper]

BTW, quotes in that summary thing that I forgot to label

[Vulgard]

@Arctic

why does this look like someone gave you a list of people to wolfread and then you made up the justifications afterwards

i recognize you haven’t playes forum mafia before but with regards to the reason to suspect me it… doesn’t even sound like you believe it yourself

I disagree, I think his reads are fine.

I think there’s a possibility that Arctic and Jar are w/w

[Nokiel]

Hi, am back. Stopped posting at EoD because sleepytime and school. A bit surprised at Aelin getting executed suddenly. Also happy to see Eliza make a full post instead of making the small comments and gutreads.

[Nokiel]

For now I’m waiting on Beancat’s activity they promised at the start of the game. But Kanave has been lowposting all game and I would like to apply some pressure to take part in discussion for a basis to work on.
VOTE: Kanave

Mostly reading Aelin’s legacy post as they flipped villager.

@Aelin

look between eliza/vulgard/lemon for your first scum

Eliza has just started producing something to look into later, Vul has been someone who has had me on edge (but that’s likely for being played by loud players in old format), Lemon is a slot that I have had issues getting anything out of. I think I want to try to find content from them. (After Kanave, who’s been lowposting a lot)

[Nokiel]

I have a lot of stuff going on tomorrow (evening here rn). Will likely not be able to post much this day phase :/

Might be some quick intermittent posts where I can fit them.

[Nokiel]

Do you think Arc is trying to get townread by dismantling Jar’s post?

[Whysper]

@Nokiel

Do you think Arc is trying to get townread by dismantling Jar’s post?

No, I think he is distancing himself from Jar in case Jar goes down.

[Whysper]

And Jar is lightly doing the same by mentioning slight suspicion on Arctic

[Nokiel]

Vul, could you lay out why you think bean is alright rn? You have made many short and sweet posts where you state your thoughts, but I feel like you don’t elaborate much. Could I ask for a post elaborating on your thoughts on different slots rn?

[Nokiel]

So, if they were wolves they would be expecting one of them to flip this day phase?

Whoa, Vulgard not elaborating much? I wouldn’t expect that accusation against Vulgard. He’s quite wordy and elaborative.

[Whysper]

@Nokiel

Not necessarily this day phase, but laying down the groundwork for distancing. You have to do that early so it doesn’t look like you were just suddenly scumreading the person when they would likely go down. Though, I mean, Jar was probably in the potential PoE for today’s execution anyway, though I think it would have been argued that he doesn’t give much info.
