[Empoof]

He is goingg to say town and mafia instead of villager and wolf.

In other news, I am conducting the holy rituals to induct Empoof into the Circle of Friendly Trust. Welcome, initiate. Take a scented candle if you like.

Hi.

[Zack]

Look, I'm not saying I had a 100% accurate god read on Barto five minutes into the game.

But I am, in fact, saying that.

[Empoof]

I'm imagining the world where barto is caught off of his second post of the game.

It's a great world tbh.

Gonna make some eggs and be around to shitpost, but I'm trying to not 1000 post this game.

[merl1n]

hi guys!

i see a lot of ppl are voting already, do we just vote at random the first day or something?

[Insaner]

Barto claims being busy/distracted as a reason why he didn't just drop a vote on you for saying you were going to phonepost (him shading people for that here is NAI; long story)

If we accept this explanation at face value, then think about which takes longer: dropping a simple vote, or posting what he posted instead in response?

But if he had just dropped a naked vote then it wouldn't be funny now would it?

I just don't get why voting me would have to be... opposed... to talking about why i'm suspicious...

It's a meta read, it's not that complicated. He pretty much always will respond to someone mentioning posting on their phone with a "posting from a phone means you're a wolf! Vote: [person]" as a snap reaction.

But here, instead of that he gave a weird over-explanation with no vote and no bite to it. He seems not at ease and more cautious than I'd normally expect, like he's walking on eggshells.

[Insaner]

Anyway that's all I have time for today

Zack is displaying some villagery swagger, but I don't think Barto's posts mean anything rn. GH's push on hin feels kinda overblown.

Okay, I see what you mean. But to me his post read like he's pretty self aware about how silly suspecting someone for that is, not an actual suspicion.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I don't mind Insaner so far.

Oh, definitely don't 1000 post. I signed up for a pair of chill games.

[merl1n]

after reading the rules more carefully, i see you can actually change your vote, this makes more sense

i'm used to ppl just talking then voting for who they think is most suspicious when ready to move on

[Zack]

I don't mind Insaner so far.

really? I feel the opposite

[GeneralHankerchief]

really? I feel the opposite

oh boy here we go again

Talk to me about why? Seems like he's just kind of easing into the flow of things and trying to dig into something he's not sure about.

[merl1n]

generalhandkerchief saying they don't mind insaner right after insaner says their push feels overblown is suspicious in the timing i think

he sees someone suspecting him and if he is good he wouldn't like that, but if he's bad he might try to appease the person doubting him

[Zack]

it seems like he is pretending to do that while actually being dismissive. I never felt like he was actually that interested in what I was saying, or what you were saying

[El Barto]

Calling things town/mafia/scum etc instead of "w*lf/v*llager" etc.

For this I might even forgive you for not having hosted a Pirate Ship game last year.

I'm a really fast typer when I want to be, and posting one-liners on CFC-OT and owning those who would own the libs is a skillset I've been developing.

[Zack]

like the amount of fixation he had on barto while never progressing or changing the read he had in any way through all of that is strange. I also have no idea why he would think your push on Barto was overblown but mine wasn't.

[Montmorency]

According to my pre-game calculations, it was a mathematical certainty that at least one of myself and GeneralHankerchief would be a wolf in this game. I am a villager, therefore I am left no other choice but to conclude that GeneralHankerchief is indubitably a wolf. Please put your affairs in order and acquiesce yourself to the noose, sir.

I've been playing with El Barto since before you were born, son.

As consolation, I would thank this post if I could.

He is goingg to say town and mafia instead of villager and wolf.

Also very cool.

Hi.

Are we sure Empoof isn't a Csargo alt?

They're MU people, he's being culturally sensitive.

Oh, definitely don't 1000 post. I signed up for a pair of chill games.

Yes, cultural sensitivity is a two-way street.

generalhandkerchief saying they don't mind insaner right after insaner says their push feels overblown is suspicious in the timing i think

Theory: If GH is scum, maybe he has a tendency to open D1 with sketchy meta-pushes? Awesome insight if true.

[Zack]

Any reads Monty?

[Montmorency]

No, but it in itself the *record scratch* when I entered plus taking half an hour to ask me that in the first 50 posts leaves me feeling guarded.

I like Zack

insaner indifferent, I agree with the words that they say (Zack barto push > GH barto push) but lacks some of the hutzpah I expect from them.

GH lean very slightly good but also feels like he might be trying a bit too hard.

Logic good for bad reasons.

Monty feels sorta offputting but I think it's a playstyle thing.

Merl1n baseline good.

[Insaner]

You don't seem particularly interested in what I'm saying either, lol. I think your read on Barto is bad and I explained to you why I think that.

Barto never posted through all that, so like. As to why I dislike GH's push on Barto while I don't mind yours, that's kinda hard for me to explain. It's mostly just a gut feeling.

I had this feeling as well honestly, and I like you for saying this. I feel like town GH would have more insightful things to say about this situation.

what do you mean by good for bad reasons, can you elaborate plz ty

[Empoof]

what do you mean by good for bad reasons, can you elaborate plz ty

I sorta think that Logic would think it scummy to make a single post that's not game related and leave, and instead opt to either say some passive comment about what's going on or clock in a "I'll be in later after " at the tail end.

It's bad reasons because it's basically a too-wolfy-to-be-a-wolf sort of thing, basically.

...I've been playing with barto for like a decade and my read on him was specifically a meta one. why would you saying "idk it's just a joke i think" have any effect on me. It wasn't a particularly strong objection either, which is why your fixation on it doesn't quite ring true to me. It felt like you were trying to downplay the situation more than objecting to my read?

No, I was in fact disagreeing with your read on Barto from the start. You said that Barto's overexplaining of his suspicion of me without actually voting me was non-committal and scummy. My response was that I don't think Barto was expressing any kind of actual suspicion but was in fact just joking around.

[Insaner]

(crosspost edit) Posting from smartphones was once held to be one of the surest tells, and this is a game that takes place in a fictitious past, so it is completely in character for me to suspect you, sir.

Just read this post once again and tell me it isn't a joke.
