The Amazing Digital Circus Vigilante ten-er - GAME OVER, MAFIA WIN

this was not about pairing you with Leafia anymore, rather, it was an independent read.

This is such an awesome analysis for a phrasing quirk I haven’t actually noticed from myself.

In this case, I was using “good luck” as a comment unto itself. I was expecting to die Night 1, and was pushing towards that resolution, and understood that Leafia was plausibly doomed to be tinfoiled later. So in that regard, this is a valid read.

Damn

Do you guys think I made myself too obvious? With my vig claim at start of the game

I thought that it made me look like such a VT that it would maybe make the wolves think there’s no way i’d be that obvious as VT and that i’m actually the vig. that post is way funnier if i was the vig and i like being funny so i was hoping the wolves would think that. so i was on a level 2 strategy

if they predicted that and found me as VT nonetheless that’s level 3 and then fair enough - props for their correct read. but if they just operated on level 1 that’s slightly peeving :joy_cat: like imagine me trying to think multiple steps ahead only to then “congratulations, you played yourself”

These are my initial thoughts as well. I think I was probably wrong on Bystander. She fits in with a lot of people

And I feel like Rhea is probably the only one here who’s perceptive enough to catch jail as the vig on night 1 (respectfully to everyone)

I didn’t know who’s the vig but I also paid no mind to it since it’s not my job. idk, did any of you guys try to find the vig? (as town). was jail obvious or what?

I was dragged away by the cuff mid-sentence, so I couldn’t quite finish my sentence with the aplomb that I might have otherwise liked.

I appreciate off-the-walls creative bursts of logic, particularly when they have a reasonable foundation. It’s not only refreshing but it’s also ideal towards pursuing new insights. “Good luck” as a separation definitely sounds about right for how I utilise that phrase in my mind. There have certainly been times where I have used that phrase in particular scumchats, although the contextual use would’ve been when they were in danger rather than as an expression of faith.

Let’s pose a new distinction; a mocking or insincere “Good luck” versus a genuine “Good luck” (rather than the “joking” category).

The first Mafia quote you supplied was fabricated, but that was due to my mistaken impression that I needed to cram as much content as possible into my opener to appear towny. The second one was sincere, representative of my demeanour. The third one was specifically poking fun at Bionic, but was also addressed towards Tutuu (my teammate).

Summary

I think you recognised the mocking nature of this comment, but it was also the only “joking” comment from all of the Mafia quotes so you were specifically sidestepping the context in order to exact your conclusion when it’s the attitude that should matter.

I had no idea, although admittedly I wasn’t looking for it. Anyone who was voted yesterday and didn’t seem pressured to claim was marked off (so Pandora / Someone / Garfooled), I didn’t think Leafia or yourself were the vigilantes since you claimed…

I suppose I could have narrowed it to Jail / Zug / Rhea / Bystander if I was looking for them.

It varies from person to person. Your specific claim had so much personality that I thought you were claiming Vigilante just because you could, rather than to scare the evil team. Leafia outright claimed to not be the Vigilante in a fashion that was almost baiting relatively.

this is just such an insane post to write if you are a wolf. like imagine randing wolf and writing this. zug is probably just town or was unironically on acid if wolf

i had a temporary tinfoil that zug and magnus are both mafia and they’re motivating each other and laughing in wolf chat at writing all of these essays and dunking on us but that is probably just my emotional reaction of not wanting to get dunked on / feel embarassed / get rekt. logically zug + mag doesn’t make sense and they deserve to win (maybe?) if they’re w/w. atlhough we also have a win con obv so im not saying like we shouldnt try to catch them if they’re w/w but maybe that’s a concern for f5/f3, at least for now i think its more logical to look into rhea / gar / bystander. idk, maybe mag is mafia, zug, i still feel like they’re town but i haven’t re-evaluated after those town flips. i heavily thought pandora is mafia during the night. let me think

zug is my top townread after that, unless exactly w/w with magnus. i feel like w!zug has so much easier mischops to push than town magnus, that’s just such an unnecessary effort

pandora + rhea made so much sense to be the team why wasn’t that the team :weary:

if garfooled is town we had v/v wagons all day, and they ended up v/v/v

wolves’ favorite thing to do in situations like this is to do nothing. they just love to do nothing and let town implode

this was posted 5 hours before EoD. how come you didn’t vote anybody after this?

@Garfooled why didn’t you self-pres?

@bystander hi, where’s your head at? who do you think are the wolves?

(apologies if these questions have already been answered, i’m backreading)

so yeah actually if gar is V i would be very cautious of zug. and bystander is probably just always a wolf if gar is town

i need to re-evaluate leafia too oh fuck my life man. im feeling uneasy lol. none of my townreads are rock-solid anymore

maybe i was too generous on my leafia townread?
i think magnus is mega town but zug has been suspecting them for a while? am i supposed to be sheeping zug here?
zug feels mega towny but his actions makes sense from a wolf pov who can just sit there and entertain himself while we all eat each other?
bystander:

@Zugzwang did you ask me during the previous day phase to link you examples of magnus posts that I found passionate (ergo towny)? i swear you did, and i thought i didnt reply, i went back to look for them to reply now but i’m not finding them. did i dream about this? lmao

Zug definitely posted that question sometime yesterday, I doubt we’re both having the same Mandela effect.

IIRC rhea had leafia as a top townread and i thought that was odd because iirc there wasn’t that much of an explanation for it, and i dont think rhea was familiar with leafia. now that i remember it, at the time i thought rhea thought leafia was the vig and that’s why she did that, so i had to stay quiet about it. let me see if i can find it
