[Natiko]

Don't be a jerk. Lets enjoy following along!

 

[Fanto]

This is gunna be silly lol. Love the costumes!

Spoiler

Mad that there's no Chloe!

Maybe if you would've played I would've swapped her in and rigged it! Think of the missed opportunity!

 

[turmoil7]

if there is a Chloe costume I would struggle not reading it as fanto lol

 

[turmoil7]

Prisoner is zipped, right?

[Natiko]

I will say this - there was originally a role in here from Fran about guessing identities that I replaced with something else at the 11th hour, primarily because Faddy thought it would lead to way too much metagaming analysis. (Think his Febe powerpoint but more because you had to identify multiple players). I'm really glad I did swap because there are some surprising entrants that would've been super unfair to try and guess, and some entrants that never would've stood a chance at getting correct guesses had they RNGed into the role.

 

[Fanto]

Yeah, a role like that would make sense if it was all veterans playing together, then I think it could be really fun. Like an invitational game or something lol. But if it went to anyone that's even slightly new, or even an old-timer that hasn't played in a while, it's going to make that role kind of unfair to them or to the person who might have to identify them.

 

[Franconp]

Can we bet on how many players Will roleplay as Blarg D1? I'm betting 3.

I really liked that role. But originally I would post the list of players and reveal who dies each day so the player would have a smaller base to guess every day. With the secret signups it wouldn't work. And I love the idea of the secret signups.

Yeah, it was a neat idea. I tried to at least do it justice with a spin on a different role (thanks to an ace suggestion from Faddy).

 

[Fanto]

But what if Blarg is in the game? We don't even know!

 

[Franconp]

If Blarg Is in the game I expect him to roleplay as someone else.

 

[Natiko]

God. Who's going to run a costume mini and just give Blarg every account except one.

 

[Faddy]

Looking forward to this.

I have a suggestion. If you want to make it easier for people to use proper pronouns then use preferred pronouns as the player's tag. Then everyone will see them.

 

[Faddy]

If Blarg Is in the game I expect him to roleplay as someone else.

The problem with role playing as someone else is you don't know if they are in the game.

Great idea!

I don't think he would do it to try to mislead. It's just the most Blarg thing he could do.

 

[Fanto]

I don’t know if Rey got their PM, Natiko

Zombie is Chugg, this is a Chugg Joke.

However, let's do a little bit more analysis for fun, even though that's all I need to confirm it really.

Hello does anyone have any brains for me to snack on

No

Booooo

Banana’s are good. Third place to brains and flesh but still good

Notice what's missing in all of these posts? There is no punctuation at the end, no period marking the end of the sentence.

Let's take a look at some Chugg posts from the Mafia OT.

I'm here to chew ass and kick bubblegum

You too Stove

Yeah, town kind of just limped to the finish on that one

No punctuation at the end of the sentence.

Now, there are some cases where Chugg of course does use punctuation at the end of his sentences. Hypothesis: Chugg doesn't always punctuate when he is typing on his phone, but at a computer when using a keyboard he will always write full, complete, punctuated sentences.

 

[Natiko]

Spoiler

 

[turmoil7]

Fanto you shouldn't had asked for spec publicly, someone may had cosplayed as you

 

[Natiko]

I was surprised no one publicly posted asking for spec and then secretly signed up via PM for maximum sneak.

 

[Fanto]

Fanto you shouldn't had asked for spec publicly, someone may had cosplayed as you

Aeleus did that in the GTA Mafia costume game, posting my Chloe gifs. I'm pretty sure Monkey thought they were me and I was Sorian lol.

 

[Fanto]

Also, do you guys know how long it took me to remove the black background from that 200+ frame gif so I could have a transparent version of that like 2 years ago? Lol.

 

[Sawneeks]

Banana is me. sorry to spoil it.

 

[Natiko]

Banana is me. sorry to spoil it.

Way to give the plot twist away smh, should’ve used spoiler tags

 

[turmoil7]

I'm not sure, but I think Vampire talks like that because of the fake plastic fangs

 

[Franconp]

Wild guesses:

Rey is Sparks
Cereal is Salva

 

[Franconp]

Forget that, Rey is Blarg (or someone is roleplaying as him).

 

[Fanto]

Part of me is desperately hoping that Daenarys is just Pirate Bae having way too much fun lmao.

Either way, Daenarys is my favorite player so far.

I also had the exact same read progression as Fran did on Rey: Sparks -> Blarg -> Someone RPing as Blarg

 

[turmoil7]

at least from spec all the costumes blend together for me, hard to assign personas to them

 

[Natiko]

It’s quite easy for me to follow since I know everything

 

[Franconp]

Part of me is desperately hoping that Daenarys is just Pirate Bae having way too much fun lmao.

I was going to say that Daenarys could be Bae or Melon. The posting style reminded me of them.

 

[Fanto]

Yes, it could be Melon too, that's a good call.

I'm thinking Banana might be Fowl Playa? There were a few posts where it felt like the kinds of analysis he was making in whatever game it was he played in... was it Avatar I think?

 

[Fanto]

Wait, but now Dracula just shortened "not a good look" to "nagl", which is something Fowl Playa did too!

Hmm....

 

[Natiko]

The plot thickens

 

[turmoil7]

is there any first time player or just some long hiatus returnees?

how many? just out of curiosity

Spoiler

There’s no 100% newbies but some players have only played in one game with us before this I think. There are three players that have barely played since the move to Era IIRC

 

[Franconp]

I think that Clown is Monkey. Several post in row instead of multiquote is what Monkey usually do when she is catching up.

Then, I'm leaning for Launchpad being in the game. He was a replacement in Nier and didn't get in.

 

[Fanto]

I'm going to admit that I'm totally just skimming the posts, but I like the activity level and content that I'm seeing in there so far, feels like a healthy D1 is brewing.

It’s not too bad for a weekend phase!

 

[Fanto]

Ok yeah, Dracula is definitely Fowl Playa, based on the use of abbreviations.

So, for my identity reads, this is what I have so far:
Daenarys: Bae or Melon
Dracula: Fowl Playa
Rey: Blarg or someone roleplaying as Blarg
Zombie: Chugg

Can't wait to find out I'm wrong about all of these lol.

 

[turmoil7]

Maybe clown is captainNuevo, I don't think it's very likely he is playing but some posts give me the vibes. I've also thought he could be Alexem trying to soften his style.

But cuppa would change the avatar to Ronald

 

[Fanto]

Ok, I'm back to thinking Rey is Sparks now.

I also think Barney is Salva.

Still hoping to be right about Baenarys.

 

[Franconp]

Not sold on Sparks for Rey. Those were a very like Sparks posts but there are others that don't. Leaning for someone roleplaying.

I think that Barney could be Nin.

 

[Natiko]

I'm enjoying reading the guesses

 

[Franconp]

I don't care who is town and who is scum. I just want to guess who is who lol.

 

[Fanto]

Yeah, don't expect any Town/Scum reads from me, I'm on here for identity reads lol.

 

[Fanto]

Ok, I don't think Dany is Bae anymore, I'm like 99% sure she's asleep right now lmao.

 

[Faddy]

Sleep is the ultimate arbiter.

 

[Fanto]

Ok, I went and ISO'd Melon's D1 in GoT, and I am now 87% sure that Dany is Melon lol.

 

[Faddy]

Dang. Scum down on day 1.

RIP mysterious player

 

[Fanto]

RIP mysterious player

Dracula: Fowl Playa

RIP Fowl.

 

[Natiko]

That sure was a day end. Said mysterious player has access to here with their costume and their regular account. We shall see if they appear, and if they do if they reveal themselves.

 

[turmoil7]

Damn, D1 lunch

 

[Fanto]

Also, I'll go ahead and be the one to notice the way that Nat redacted the Mafia teammates and thread from the Role PM:

Your fellow Mafia members are NUH UH

The Mafia chat can be found YOU THOUGHT

 

[Natiko]

Night actions are all in at least initially. Almost went real bad for mafia but targets changed lol

 

[turmoil7]

hope scum can get some mislunches, it's always a bummer when there is a day 1 lunch, takes tension away

 

[Clown]

Oh my. The easy way out of my fuck-up.

Did I kill myself or was I killed?

 

[Natiko]

Oh my. The easy way out of my fuck-up.

Did I kill myself or was I killed?

You were killed. Your target was town.

 

[Clown]

Kill me? Me? I was their greatest friend!

I call shenanigans.

 

[Natiko]

Kill me? Me? I was their greatest friend!

I call shenanigans.

It's a good thing for them that they did. Their original target would've been a whiff lol

 

[Clown]

Aww, poor scum. Sounds tough.

 

[Natiko]

Aww, poor scum. Sounds tough.

I'm sure you're very happy for them

 

[Clown]

I am a sad clown. I see scum, I cry. A dead vampire and then killing a good mislynch. Ouch. Could be worse, at least they got a cop as some sort of a morale boost.

 

[Natiko]

Just waiting for Fanto to come in and point out that I snuck my signature into this game.

 

[Fanto]

The Weak Cop strikes again!

 

[Faddy]

Just waiting for Fanto to come in and point out that I snuck my signature into this game.

You didn't even make this game... lol.

 

[Natiko]

You didn't even make this game... lol.

If you still had access to the review thread you could look up the post where I suggested its addition to Pedro

 

[Franconp]

My design had a weak cop.

 

[Natiko]

Oh you’re right, I didn’t advocate for it being added - I advocated it not be the role that got changed. There were two ‘cop adjacent’ roles. That’s the one that made it through unscathed. I just remembered making a point to have it in the game because weak roles are fun lol

 

[Natiko]

I'm not sure I'll ever stop laughing at Kool-Aid Man with a gun.

 

[Fanto]

I think Cereal Killer is Donna.

 

[Fanto]

That should have been easier for me to figure out but it was the recap/analysis posts that made it obvious, same thing she did in Love Boat 3.

 

[Fanto]

Maybe not though? Some of the other posts feel like Monkey now lol.

 

[Fanto]

Yeah nevermind, Cereal Killer is Monkey lol wtf.

 

[Fanto]

This is what I get for not actually really reading people's posts until something catches my eye and makes me wonder about their identity lol.

I've got nothing otherwise, same list as before.

Cereal Killer: Monkey
Daenerys: Melon
Rey: Sparks
Zombie: Chugg

You are not 100% right.

Am I at least 75% right?

 

[Fanto]

Oh, and here's another hot take:

Bob Ross is either Sorian or Faddy.

 

[Fanto]

Wait, Faddy's in here isn't he?

It's Sorian lol.

 

[Natiko]

Mayyyyybe

[Faddy]

I'm not going to tell you who people are but I can confirm that I am not Bob Ross. Although being in the game and the spec thread would be a great role...

There is a reason this thread is squeaky clean of spoilers.

 

[Fanto]

I think Spider-Man is Reki because of the questions and general posting style, but I'm also kind of cheating based on the lack of pronouns since I believe they went with that for the last game too.

 

[Fanto]

Was I just completely not paying attention Cereal Killer on D1? She's so obviously Monkey it hurts lol.

 

[Clown]

I get a very strong feeling that I should know who Kool is but I can't pinpoint the identity there. I had a guess about CK and a idea about Obama. The others, no freaking clue. The anonymous sign-ups really made the guesses hard.

 

[Natiko]

I will say the pronouns are not all what some typically identify as.

 

[turmoil7]

No one thinks Kool aid is blarg?

 

[turmoil7]

this setup speculation is going dark places

 

[Faddy]

No one thinks Kool aid is blarg?

Waving around a gun is far too brash for Blarg.

Who should Kool Aid shoot?

 

[turmoil7]

Maybe kool aid is coolestspot, then?

I'm not following but, Obama isn't posting? He can't keep getting away with it

 

[fowl playa]

usually it means scum has better statistical odds to win

i was trying to get my roots in deep there but i absent mindedly scum slipped at the very start lmao

 

[Faddy]

It was a super tough position with so many people on you.

Personally I didn't think it was much of a slip since it is obviously 4 people in the scum team.

At least you were only a goon.

 

[Cereal Killer]

 

[Cereal Killer]

Oh, Drac was fowl playa? I called that at least. Small victories.

 

[Faddy]

When you get got.

The late vote switch on day 1 was too much for some people.

 

[Fanto]

Hi Monkey.

 

[Cereal Killer]

Wild guesses:

Rey is Sparks
Cereal is Salva

you bite your tongue

 

[Cereal Killer]

Hi Monkey.

I tried so hard d1 to mask myself but then I was mad d2 and knew I had totally outed myself in every way possible lol

 

[Cereal Killer]

Ok yeah, Dracula is definitely Fowl Playa, based on the use of abbreviations.

EPWOP solved that for me. Not a common usage around here.
