I should have been asleep an hour ago. Have a good night and chat tomorrow. I'm eager to see what last minute train forms on someone barely talked about so far.
Pair Thread Inkling Girl / Inkling Boy Kart
- Thread starter Natiko
- Start date
haha for sure that's what'll happen. Night! but I'm still responding anyway
No, and it's really weird defense, too.
I think I kinda hit a wall I couldn't break through. And then I got more serious with researching and writing about games and social media and realized I'd probably be better off as an academic.

I'm not touching Launchpad at all right now and getting dragged back into that nonsense. Lol
Vincent Alexander

I'm going to play along with Malus, but if scum, this could easily be them testing the waters if this is a safe wagon to hitch to and push with scum team to keep themselves alive.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Twist: I have no idea where I'm landing today. lol. I could go either Chuggs/Hedin or Malus/Faddy.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Chuggs is getting riled up. I need a Chuggs whisperer now to tell me if this is pissed off town Chuggs or scum Chuggs. The rest of this day relies on what Faddy and Malus say now. I want to setup a Chuggs wagon to see how they react, and based on it, I very likely might be comfortable swerving over to their butts.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Yeah, might be right. I'm going to be quite upset if we don't flip Chuggs or Daddy pairs today. One of them has to go.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Faddy....damn you, autocorrect.
Gets me every time
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Agreed and know exactly what you mean.
So what happened here? Can I get a warning tldr before I start reading?
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
He is slowly catching up and responding as he does, so he is bringing up old shit we've already banged our head against the wall about. I'm refusing to engage with that stutf again, like me scumreading Chuggs while town reading Hedin. Or your read lists.
yeah, I'm not rehashing that. it makes me scumread the catchup, honestly. it's such a distracting way to do it - avoids anything actually happening now and deflects from it.
I just can't. Hedin and Chuggs are just just being shitty and I don't understand why. I really don't expect it from either of them. It definitely makes me lean town Hedin because he doesn't scum this way but I don't like the play at all and I feel bad for ATP, whatever his alignment.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Faddy is kind of saying the right things to make me start doubting myself a little there....They're not as in-the-shadows suddenly. Hrmmmmm
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Yeah. Maybe this is bad, but I could almost stay there just because it not only answers a question I have, but it removes a lot of negativity and shit stirring from the game.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Sorian is like Blarg without the gifs. I don't know how to read. lol
No, I get that completely.
I really don't like Hedin's quadruple down on it. It's just shitty.
What is Faddy saying that's swaying you? I didn't get there. I had to dip. All I want to do is scream. I'm so tired of this whole MONKEY MYTHOS. Getting shot four hours into the last game was super not fun. Having everyone hinge six things on me for their reads on how I'm "supposed" to play or what they "expect" or that you or anyone else would build a whole strategy around me is EXHAUSTING. I just. want. to. play. Now I just want to cry. I'm so tired of it.
Sorian building strategies about me makes sense, Sorian and I have a whole THING but the rest of it just makes me want to quit completely. And that fucking sucks because this is my favorite hobby and I love this community but games like this make me want to log off and never come back.
Vincent Alexander

It's Faddy's sudden burst of activity and trying to scum hunt, but then there last post really set off Fanto:
So, I'm holding my horses on still pondering.
So, I'm holding my horses on still pondering.
don't fall for that. he's just wrong. Salva didn't scumread me. and scum definitely goes after me on d1. especially if a bunch of other people do too.
Fanto is just mad and I don't blame her. NAI either way on that but then again I don't think I've seen MadFanto as anything but scum.
Also, who was it that said something about Fanto changing votes was scummy? That's nonsense. Early in her play Fanto and I got in a huge fight because I called her a weathervane. She shifts. She changes. It's how she plays.
i mean I'm not gonna tell you how to read lol but that's my POV.

You got shot four hours in?! I missed that game. What the heck happened there.
This game is why we need more costume games. People rely on meta way too much, and it's bullshit 9 out of 10 times. It also doesn't help that they're always going to come after you. If we can just make it past D1, see how flips go, then maybe shit will come down and folks will stop being buttheads. My very first Mafia game was almost my last because how hostile and negative some folks were. Thankfully, it was Fanto who was super nice and hooked me into this community. And I think I cursed this game, because before it I thought to myself, "Jeez, it's been a while since I saw people really get shitty towards one another in Mafia! We're growing and maturing!" Then this game. I'm a jinx.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Yeah, that long post from Faddy is what stopped me in my tracks from considering him town again. It was literally right up to that post I put up above. There was good activity prior, but that post was nonsense.
yeah, Zeke shot me four hours in. He was scum and figured the trade was worth it. so yeah, don't buy the whole "scum doesn't push on monkey d1" thing.
maybe it was five hours. it was very, very quick, though.
you jinx!*
*I don't think you're actually a jinx. I think a lot of people just have shit going on and it's a terrible year and we're feeling the weight.
oh okay okay, I get you
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
I think I've settled on Faddy.
lol. In context of you being shot, yeah. Definitely funny.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Yeah. I hate calling out OMGUS, but there is some BIG OMGUS going on with Faddy right now. I'm glad he and I voted at the exact same time too.
him flailing + malus posting about exactly two things and two things only that I saw = scum
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
I need to eat lunch and let that Faddy claim percolate through my brain.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
It's as if you summoned the claim out of him with this post. lol
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
lmao. Okay, I really have to go eat lunch now. I'll be back.
don't actually wait haha go eat

This is going to be a close end of day.
Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows if 20 people change their votes at the last minute.
If we survive, do we want to use our power tonight? We might not get another shot. I would miss you but it might be fruitful. I can't imagine anyone could read our power as anything but town since it has a chance to potentially, maybe disrupt scumchat.

Vincent Alexander

I'm kind of in the same boat that I was last time---I'm not 100% sure how to get use out of our power. I'm fine to use it if you have a good idea on who, but to what benefit....I don't know.
We try to break scum from their chat. I don't know if that will work - it depends on if they have one chat or both boats and a scum chat, but in LB 2, I had a silence power that closed scumchat for a night and day so I'm HOPING like that. It stops them coordinating. We could try to hit two potential scum pairs or aim for one townread and one scumread.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Ah. Okay, Okay. Interesting.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
I could be swayed to Zeke if the room insisted only because if Zeke flips scum, and they have been very odd this game, it points right back to Faddy.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Town is about to do some real dumb shit....lol
Vincent Alexander

I have a massive headache from shit posture at my work desk and staring down too much. I really want to go take a nap, but I have to see how this day ends....

Vincent Alexander

Damn, they really were trackers. Oh well. Our doctors are probably dead next I imagine now that Zeke has claimed.
OKay, I have to pass out.
OKay, I have to pass out.
Vincent Alexander

How did they manage to break it? Juggling, playing baseball inside?
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Also, is it weird that I'm almost jealous of Faddy/Malus for being out of the game? Like, they get to join spec and relax now.
oh, I misread the role PM an additional time and thought we would be in a chat. we keep ours. we just mix two others. hmm. Then I think we pick a townread and a scumread. Or a null read and a scumread. and it says they lose access to REGULAR CHATS, PLURAL, which indicates maybe boat + scum chat
they got sent upstairs for doing something thoughtless, and decided a good thing to do to pass the time during thoughtless no-screens punishment was to... play dodgeball inside. in a room with two windows. in a pandemic. in the winter.
can i kick them
nope, it sounds heavenly, though I'm sure they're cussing me because only i control the thread, I guess
real talk, both had scummy votes, but Faddy was scummy top to bottom so I don't mind even losing a tracker if it takes the doubt and mad confusion he was introducing out of the thread.
So I believe MrChuggs' role claim - messenger makes sense with a tracker - but it's NAI regardless.
LuxTerra's vote was scummy but they were so absent that it's hard to weigh. Townmaddy makes me side eye Bearneeks a little.
FUCK OUR ROLE IS A ROLEBLOCK. I DIDN'T REALIZE THE IMPLICATIONS. WE ARE TOWN ROLEBLOCKERS ESSENTIALLY - if the PM is taken at face value.

Yeah..I made it 5 minutes into my nap and my dog started howling at someone outside. I still feel like crap. lol
So, scum can't use commands in a private PM to Nat to get around us splitting them off?

Oh god. We've sent them to limbo then. That's even worse.
Vincent Alexander

OK, I'm back! Sorry, vanished for a good while to get rid of this headache and finish Glow season 3.
So, our choices are:
Baby Park
Block City
Bowser’s Castle
Daisy Cruiser
Mario Circuit
Rainbow Road
I'm going to try my best to go re-read those EoD Faddy votes too, but lord, there were so many votes and so much switching that it is going to be hard to keep track.

Vincent Alexander

Same. I just hope Chuggs and Hedin come into D2 less prickly.
Me too.
okay so... what about the tracks? I feel like Block City could be safest.
So before I start my re-read, here's how I would start sorting people:
town
Sparksagust
Fanto & Uzzy
Chuggs & Hedin
Hawthorn & jman
weeblend
ATP & Launch, probably.
I feel really good about those people. Probably LP & Blarg but not cemented.
Not sure about:
Sorian and Muffin
Genoforce
Salva/nin
My immediate PoE is then:
Bearneeks
LuxTerra
ZippedRage
Huh, that was convenient. That worked out well. Now to re-read the last few hours. Then I will see where I am.

My gut said Block City too, but then I wondered if that would role block everyone. Unless we're fine with that?
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Yeah. I'm not too worried about it unless folks try telling me we should've killed our doctor. We'll see.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Is there anything in particular that makes you feel good about Sparks?
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
I'm in the middle of a re-read....
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
Faddy really did slather himself in bacon grease and honey.....I feel less bad about lunching there on re-read. Everytime he took a step forward in seeming townie, he'd quickly say something else that was two steps back.
Vincent Alexander
My best friend is a monkey
My town read of ATP and Fanto is going to hinge heavily on today. I feel really good about Fanto, and lean town on ATP, but today is their day to prove it. As town, neither of them sit back. ATP had a big ole "I'm scum" sign above his head in HvV because he was subdued and laid back, which is polar opposite to his normal active scumhunting. With our mislunch and soon-to-be NK, that should be enough to see ATP come alive.
I don't think it would, but if it did I'd be super fine with it, haha.
I'm not worried either. but I don't think Zeke is doctor. I mean, maybe.
Nothing that hasn't already been said, but I like Polter near EoD too. I agree with you re: ATP and Fanto and today should be more subdued IN GENERAL other than Sorian and Muffin. So everyone needs to come into the spotlight today, I think, and contribute a bit more.
Vincent Alexander

You good with voting Block City then? If so, feel free to lock it in.

Oh, the next day doesn't start for another 48 hours. Thank god. lol. Today is going to be crazy for me---last minute present wrapping and such.
Yeah, same, so I'm taking my time with my reread.
Vincent Alexander

Yeah, you're right.
