The beatings will continue until townplay improves: Part 2 - The Chessening - Night 3 (6/11)

oh my bad that was a scumslip ignore thaf

I’m referring to your play thus far in this game. You’ve only ever given reads under pressure so I don’t really know what you’re talking about with pressure making it more difficult.

i literally haven’t though what are we talking about. it genuinely feels like we’re reading two completely different threads

*reads this for ten seconds longer in silence*
*inhales and exhales*

Very well. Those will be your current reads on Nine and Ishmael.

Now please read the other six players (or perhaps five, assuming you townread me) as well.

And if you genuinely scumread the two of them: Vote one of them. After all, what is the weight of mere words compared to actual action?

The two times in the game that you’ve given reads were at the end of day yesterday, when under pressure, and right now, when under pressure.

i literally just told you those werent reads i am going insane

Unless I should be taking those reads as sarcastic too. In which case, I don’t know why I’m even trying

Eh, I can. I am inadept in that field, so I am more lenient on light matters such as these. (Some jokes do cross the line, but this isn’t one of them.)

I assume you are referring to your EOD1 carbonated read? @apennine, you can stop the push on this front. I want to see more reads out of Jaiden.

If someone gives a read I am going to take it on good faith that they are genuinely trying to play the game and assume they mean something by it.

I literally do not think that it is possible to function in any other way and still have the game of mafia be remotely playable.

im not under pressure im just annoyed. childe has like 4 posts. youre both constantly rude and expecting to get results out of that
youre refusing to acknowledge this which is clearly me trying to be productive

literally anything i say gets exaggerated or just told ā€œmm noā€. we’re here to have fun right. well zone isnt but you are right. we are here to have a good time

oooh im going through the tunnel that blocks the data signal of all posts that follow this line of logic because they arent productive and seem to be making yourself mad somehow oooooooh

I’m going AFK for a couple minutes, potentially a few hours. I have a couple things I want to say now, but I can’t as RL duty calls.

I’m sorry for being rude but I was finding this pretty frustrating. We’re here to have fun yes, but we’re also here to play a social deduction game, and it’s disrespectful to the time of others if people don’t want to play the game they signed up to play.

I read the quoted post and I must be missing something, because it seems like you’re mostly making reads about people being unpaired with yourself? I don’t understand the significance of that. From your perspective everyone should be unpaired with yourself.

Does ā€œunpaired from meā€ mean something different than how I’m reading it?

i am one of 15 bajillion players and youre needling me over this i was pretty clear that I have pretty slow starts. historically i play micros and popcorn. in larger games it takes me a minute to get the ball rolling

it doesn’t matter if i know im town if no one else knows that. wcs im mafia using that to throw you off the scent of you, zone and pandora by… giving takes on their eods that you can read into why im doing so. if you disagree with me on those points thats great! explain why! behold we are generating content. if you agree then thats useful to you even if i have privledged information (my alignment) influencing me

And I would like to help get the ball rolling. I’m happy to talk through reads with people and figure things out. I find that’s usually productive. My frustration came from what felt like any attempts at that being completely shut down and… well, it came across like you thought it was unfair of people to expect you to give reads in a mafia game.

The reason this isn’t particularly productive for me to discuss is that the three players you’re mentioning are myself and my top two townreads. I already think none of those are paired with you.

It also doesn’t tell me much about your own thoughts or reads on the game, which is the thing I’m interested in.

UNVOTE

I still don’t like Jaiden’s play and I still think she should be executed ASAP, but at this point I really need to expand my horizons instead of tunneling someone who is unlikely to give me reads any time soon. FWIW at least she has made content, which in itself is already better than some of the other supposedly alive players.

12 hours have passed;
36 hours remain.

7/9 players have talked;
Ishmael and childe have not.

…I will wait for 12 hours.
And then probably another 12 hours.
And if their contents are still lacking by then, then I’ll vote one of them regardless of my reads on them.
I will not allow anyone to slank in this game.

hi goo morning hiiii guys,
um
