meh

[Vulgard]

Now I just have to do this with the seven other players in this game and I will become an IC.

[El Barto]

I expect Bart to maintain a certain consistency or plausibility.

Wasn't me, I didn't do it.

[El Barto]

OK, here's my case for today:

You had me at bunday

First your try to pocket me.

Bunday is tomorrow.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand why Hally is a wolf. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical RP most of the jokes will go over a typical poster's head. There's also Hally's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into their characterisation- their personal mafia philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The MU elite understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about MAFIA. As a consequence people who are confused by Hally truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Hally's existential catchphrase "NO BULLI" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Hally's genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. ?

And yes, by the way, i DO have a buttercup tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the champs finalists' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid ?

You post a bunch of nonsense but also you go on and on about elite intellectual capacity, which you imply is necessary for understanding jokes, and then misspell ?personal? as ?personnel?, which is both a crime against grammar and just unfunny.

tl;dr your tone is very much off to me.

vote: Sunbae

That said, I am now reading that Vulgard made a post in which he actually tried to post some reads and itnerpret the threads and voted for Sunbae.
To which Sunbae replies with what mafiawiki says is an OMGUS vote: ?I vote you because you're voting me?.

And then on the next page Hally, who was the leader until then, switched her vote to both take herself off the lead and put the accuser Vulgard into the #1 (n?mero uno) place.
So I'm happy to make it a tie between you two, because I'm sure that between you, Hally and Vulgard there must be one mafiat.

Now I'm off to play videogames. Byeeee!

[El Barto]

idk why the site keeps converting all my punctuation to question marks

hope it?s still legible

OOC post: I posted a few days ago in this thread that I've been having the same issue, I'm not sure what's going on. Perhaps another post from you could help grab the admins' attention.

Wait! On the new page Hally unvoted Vulgard. Let's make it Vulgard v. Sunbae.

btw where *is* Raskolnikov? I'm not liking his absence at all.

[Zack]

You have no reads? No ISO?

@El Barto can you explain why your said this and what you meant?

no comment on the phone posting being criminal?

unvote: vul

meh

why did that change your mind? a bunch of posts and a thousand words to just say "idk vibes" afaict

[Zack]

hally and benneh seem reasonably villagy so far

Barros post where he voted sunbae hit some good tonal markers for him but some of his other posts (and lack of certain things) feels a bit off.

ender and monty - need to see more to have a real opinion, it was fine I guess

sunbae idk if I just gut disliked him calling me/benneh w/w because of my own narcissism, but I don't really care for it. I agree the way he dropped the hally stuff was a little strange.

vulgard is not really saying much of substance and he is using a lot of words to do it

rask ain't here :(

[Sunbae]

Real answer is mkre along the lines of: not a terrible thought but probably too sunbae centric for you to develop a good/accurate read on the solve for the game. If the wolf read was on vulgard instead of you how does that shape your read on me / zack? Why can’t I just be a villager with a correct or incorrect read on Zack and a wolf read on you? Why does Zack get joined onto a team with me just because of my interactions?

like, it’s an elaborate thought in a way but I don’t believe you believe it regardless of your alignment l

what were you going to say after "regardless of your alignment"

[Zack]

weird using ' works fine for me on mobile apparently. don't don't aren't m'ountainous

I use the desktop site if that makes s difference

i don?t know how you arrived at there needing to be a wolf between us based on this

If you expect me to get into a long back and forth with someone in a casual 9er 4 hours into day 1 then i'm not sure we're gonna be on the same page here. Theres not much to say about "i think xyz" being responded with "xyz didnt happen". aint gonna post a 5 paragraph essay amounting to "ya huh!"

where you at on hally now?

[Hally]

idk when vulgard wolfed against us i think he was very capable of faking reads and explaining them so responding to my questions with a bunch of word vommit that amounts to “idfk” seems like an odd choice

i think a wolf might wanna come up with something better?

[Sunbae]

where you at on hally now?

meh. thing with vulgard is setting off my spidey senses with the softball question/vote/unvote thing. dont think there was any "villagery inquisitiveness" (thats the word used on me right?) about trying to figure out vulgards role or caring about vulgards answer. felt like an interaction to have an interaction. maybe w/w? maybe not. idk ill figure it out eventually

why does vulgard as a wolf wanna come up with something but me as a wolf does not want to come up with something

it only breaks for me when i hit “go advanced”

seems to work fine otherwise and it broke in barto’s wall above which i assume wasn’t written on his phone so i don’t think it’s a mobile thing, i think go advanced just breaks it?

[Sunbae]

as a wolf my goal would be to get in peoples good graces and smooth things over and pocket people

but you dont see that because im a villager who doesnt care about that and just wants to vote wolves

in your hearts you know this to be true

i wouldn’t expect a wall or a long back and forth as a follow up, just a couple of sentences saying “i reread hally and my read is now X”

[Zack]

I'm going advanced mom

i mean, i asked him questions and he said he couldn’t answer them so i didn’t feel it was productive to continue trying to pry stuff out

if he can’t explain he can’t explain

[Zack]

yeah this

(kinda fair point to sunbae wrt vulgard getting treated differently for similar thing but that was specifically a vulgard-specific read that hally was making (specifically))

[Zack]

also i joined what i thought was a ff slow draft on my phone, but turned out to be 30 seconds per pick and also bugged tf out on my phone so my first two picks got autodrafted before i stumbled my way to a computer

[Sunbae]

benneh and zack: "wow why are you tying us together thats so weird"

[Hally]

sunbae i feel like you’re just looking for things to call wolfy

every read you’ve made so far is either a wolf read or trying to cram two people into these w/w scenarios

doesn’t feel like you’re being charitable in your assessment of things, which is unlike you imo

[Zack]

i have 2 poop but it's still bugged on my phone so i have to stay at the computer holding it in for now

[Hally]

why does vulgard as a wolf wanna come up with something but me as a wolf does not want to come up with something

different contexts imo

vulgard made reads and i asked him about them and he couldn’t explain them = generally wolves don’t make reads that they can’t bullshit some explanation for

you made a read that i then corrected you on and you couldn’t push anymore = now you have to change tracks and reassess on the fly, which is harder than just explaining reads

[Zack]

benneh and zack: "wow why are you tying us together thats so weird"

but i mean from my perspective benneh is a probable villager who made a correct and cromulent townread on me and you all over it
